Caged Bird

















A bird's
Flight
To
Freedom

A soul's
Flight to
Freedom

A bird
Flies in
The sky

A soul
Flies
When
We die

The soul
Is like a
Caged bird
Waiting to
Fly, after we
Die









Void

I held on
To that
Feeling
For a
Long time,
But couldn't
Write anything

Now that I
Want to write
Something,
I cannot feel
Anything










Life

Life narrates
A story...
Thru every
You and Me

We live it
In our own
Way

Have different
Roles to play
Every night
And day...

Seeking
Pleasures
Keeping
Pain at bay


Making
People
Come
Near
Or
Stay
Away


Till Death
Has its
Final Say 











Don't Share

Don't share
The bad news
With anyone

Always
Share the
Good news
With everyone

So that
People
Always
Look up
To you

They
Never
Look
Down
Upon
You

(based on the observation that people generally boast about their successes but are reticent to talk about their failures, lest they are viewed in a negative light)










Know

Know
Your
Mind
And
Body

How
Do
You
Expect
Others
To
Know
You
When
You
Keep
Grappling
With the
Real You..?


(Theme: Awareness)









Importance

All the
Self-importance
You give yourself
Fizzles out when
Death overtakes
You with its
Undying
Importance


(Theme: Zilch)










Wish

Wish
Every
Man
Could
Think
Of this
Song
When
Thinking
Of every
Woman

The Women
Could then
Feel protected
By their Men

Bad

Somehow
The goodness
In you
Failed to reach
The goodness
In me

Maybe,
We both
Exhibited
Our
Badness

So our
Relationship
Turned Bad.
 

(Theme: Relationship) 











Nothing

Nothing
New
Is
Coming
Out of
Me

Think
Poetry
Is getting
Older
In me

Time to
Take out
A retirement
Policy

LOL :D
