THE BEGINNING

"In the material world, a person seldom hears his heart! This poem speaks out the story of such a try - that symbolises a good fight and the ultimate win of the heart over the brain!"

Excerpts from my poem "The Beginning"... [Full Poem posted at writersCafe here.]

One night, I sat on my chair
And listened to my inner choir
Oh! And wherefrom comes this cry?
So melancholy and so dry!

I feared the sound, and decided to wound
Cease the try! Stop! And freeze the cry...
The Brain thus spoke, and I did admit
For in a choir, is unwanted a cry!

...

The ears felt and the heart did smelt
The agonising sorrow, ’where did he borrow
Is Jailed in a circle, alike a sparrow
Heard I, a boy, with a lost tomorrow!

...

Give a knock! Ping a jerk!
Awake! Awake! O Sleeping Knight!
I wished I say, and I thought I told "
And I saw a light, in his eyes, glowed!

...

Loss of hope is trivial, perseverance grand!
Let’s find a place I can strike my stand.
All’s steel, need a hammer to settle this deal!
But behold! What’s that throbbing, red I feel?

Thus resurfaced the little Joy!
Failed finally was the cruel fate’s ploy!
Flew with the birds, over the seas in the sky!
Thus I listened to my heart and chose the future I now ply!

PEOPLE IN THE DARK

-->
"A little child wants play and to achieve things... But he does not like the people in the world around him. He feels that they tease him and stare at him that he does not like."

PEOPLE IN THE DARK

I am a Little Child
I Love to Play and Dance
And to make Good Friends
But, I Fear the Dark!

I am a Little Child
I wish I could Fly like a Bird
And Run Fast like a Deer
But, I Fear the Dark!

I am a Little Child
I love to see the Moon, the Stars
And the Firefly at Night
But, I Fear the Dark

I am a Little Child
But, I Fear the Dark –
There are People in the Dark,
Calling Me Names!

I am a Little Child
But, I Fear the Dark –
There are People in the Dark
With Menacing Stares!

I am a Little Child
But, I Fear the Dark –
There are People in the Dark
Blackening All That Light!

I am a Little Child
I don’t like those Shadows in the Dark
Why the Sun ever sets n Brings ‘em back?
How I wish there were a Torch!
