It takes two
It takes two to clap and two to share, Two to show how much you care. Two to cancel out each sorrow, Two to plan a brighter tomorrow. Two to work a brilliant joke, And laugh out loud till you choke. Two to keep us safe and sound And keep those feet,…

Discover
The cost of growing up is To give up all your wonder, With each baby step you take, In exchange for wisdom, Some genuine, mostly fake, And march on the plank with head held high, For the Maker to meet His make, Only to hear Him say, “Nice try my child!” ©Sai 3/4/2021

Of Expectations
Thank you for setting the bar so high, With expectations as vast as the endless sky. How kind of you to deem me worthy, Swift, steely, strong and sturdy . So when today I face this herculean task Of shunning my Herculean mask, And finally pulling down the bar,…

Ignited minds
See the spark in their eyes? It began as a flare Of a faraway star, out there, Beheld in the darkest of nights. Beheld, leaving a lasting burn, The flame spelling out a nocturne That with the winds took flight. For the spark had lightyears, travelled, And was caught in the wires, marveled,…

Love diaries
Stacks and piles, of a hundred files Pages and pages, stored over ages By the hopeless valetudinarian Who believed with a shrug That he had caught the love bug. And what detailed log he kept. Logged every hour he’d never slept, And dreamed, while still awake, Ten hours daily, give or take Very…

Zindabad
Civilizations thrived and shaped under these skies Kingdoms ruled and survived these golden soils. Your fabric absorbed every invasion, every blow And colored itself into a rainbow- As together as it is diverse- a composite, A patchwork quilt, so exquisite, That, when conflicts threatened to unravel, A common thread of belonging Held each fragment together.…

X marks the spot
I need no letters, for they are sure to fade. I have simply memorised all that you ever said. Your smile will never be hard to find, For it is simply etched in my mind. Your touch is forever safe within The withering layers of my skin. But what would i do if time ever…

Weight of vacuum
Strange, how things that ceased to be, Did not give up their gravity. The pressing burdens, that were brought By weightless memory and thought. Weird, the workings of a beating heart. In a trice, it’s ceaseless rhythm, it forgot. What had streamlined an ocean’s course, Was crushed by an empty void’s force. ©Sai…

Volare
Random feathers, Each floated in from places unknown Or conjured themselves from thin air, i don’t know, But together they flocked, interwoven And assembled themselves into wings Not so random anymore, For they began to make sense, Began to be sure Of their existence. If they were sent here, it had to be For some…

Trials and errors
A tragedy of sorts our natureThat follows a linear span-With no memory of futureAnd no foolproof plan. We spend more time pryingBig feet out of little mouthsAnd the remaining time cryingOver spilt milk running south. At long last howeverWhen wisdom, decided to sprout,It had taken foreverAnd time itself had run out. ©Sai20/1/21 Pic…

Quid pro quo
A penny for your toughts And thoughts for those actions, It is as simple as Decimals for fractions. An ear for your stories, A smile for your frown, A sweep for the worries That you carry in your crown. Some quiet company In exchange for yours. A few stolen moments From…
