Been a while since I posted new poems here. Here are the five natural elements compared to the five earthly elements.:)
A Mouthful of Sky
Vast canvases spread around
The beautiful earth as we found
The secrets pleasures all lured in
On the wonder bed we made our Kin
The power of it universally known
The lack of it brought everywhere a frown
The earthly pleasures it got and dealth
Whatever could that be other than wealth
The gentle and the hearty breeze
As it came sway did the trees
Had it not been for the wind so profound
How could ever the fragrance spread around
The nature of it omnipresent
For to rule the world is it meant
Every gap power creeps as wind does
Got to bend before it and not to fuss
Tempting drops from above shall fall
Over the wide earth to wet it all
If it weren't for the rain so plain
Our hopes would all gone in vain
Every moment of the life so fine
As the blood trickles down each vein
If not for this rejuvenator all so vital
How could a man ever live? He a mere mortal!
Burning agog spreading vigor & fright
Lightening the world over all so bright
If not for this Fire ever
Darkness could never be brightened, never
The burning urge to acquire
Spreading around like quick fire
If not for Desire, who would ever lead
The path of growth would never succeed
The bounds of the cover known never
Up above a protection for ever
Soaring again up all so high
If only one could ever touch this Sky
The aims we set all so high
To retell ourselves to do or die
The moment of Glory forever in the dreams
For the pride of victory is the soul that screams

Earth, Wind and Rain and Fire;
Wealth, Power, Blood, Desire;
One goal to live for before we die...
One taste of glory; One Mouthful of Sky

Last night my dreams
Were not about you;
For the first time,
In longer than I can remember!
I dreamt of nonsense things;
Icecreams and animals,
Red grass and blue trees,
And then, I woke up.
I didn't reach across my bed;
To feel if you were there.
The sweet taste of morning
Felt like freedom.
I don't feel like loving you today.
I feel like living,
My own life,
In my own way!
So maybe tomorrow,
I will wake up like I normally do;
Confused by the fact,
That you are laying beside me.
I might even
Feel a stab of regret...
For everything that I feel
Wishing you were not there!
But yes I thought its time
And accepted my space...
For I know I will never get it,
If I leave it now.

All you could be to me today!
That day you opened your heart to me
I thought after all why..had it only to be me?
I never truly realised
the depth of your emotions
well, that was then...all those years back!
You made me laugh..You made me happy...
I accepted you as my best friend
yes, You made the me I am today..
Even then I never for once felt
What you were feeling for me at heart.
I talked about him to you, You never spoke a word
Every word I said to you was true
All you did was to give me that supporting nod.
He came into my life all of a sudden
But left me with a heart, full of burden
With you around,
why did I for him, search
who did nothing more than leaving me in this lurch.
I knew, seeing me cry, was too much for you to bear
but all you said was , with you , I am there.
That day,
that was day I realised my friend...
what you wanted to be to me
One so close to my heart..
To catch its pieces when they fell apart
But then, as with him I was playing my innings
Fate had played its game too
and there you were long gone with someone
who realised your true worth
more than this innocent girl who overlooked you
All you could be to me today is all what a true friend can be-
nothing less
your heart would never forgive...
nothing more
your wife would never forgive....

When She Had Said "NO"
When she had said "No" -
He did not look into her eyes, and
See the heart framed in a casement of pain.
He had taken it to be so,
For he had misunderstood her.
If he had asked her once more, just once more,
Then her pride dissolved..
She'd have rushed him.
Instead he walked away,
Bearing a pain that she had
Not wished to inflict on him.
He had not understood her condition!
Was it too her fault?

Simple, sweet, elegant and tall
Men used such words to me call
The passion these heels brought in me
What a happiness it brought so free
for everyone at my feet did fall
