Mystique

The wind was strong

that made sun hid

beneath the grey clouds

Darkness prevailed

and the evil appeared

from it’s secret den

People locked themselves

in their homes

fearing their lives

Anyone who stood up,

were buried down

in dungeons of hell

Love thawed,

goodness extinguished

heroes died fighting

against the villains

But everything has

short lifetime

A magician appeared

from nowhere

to dispel the darkness

and bring new hopes

among the people

His good deeds became

the hot news in town

They called him mystique

because of his attire

Dressed in black

with only his eyes visible

His magic was his only weapon

against the evil

The simple tricks

were more than enough

to fool them

No one could ever

get close to him

No one knew him well

except his mystique avatar

Who was he

remained a mystery.

One fine day

the king of evil

summoned him to his court

As mystique appeared

people prayed secretly

for his victory

“ Who are you, the mystery one?”,

the king asked

“ I am your death!”, Mystique replied

Shocked and furious ,

the king stormed towards him

and pulled his scarf

Everyone was surprised

as the secret of their hero

was disclosed at last

Mystique wasn’t a man,

it was a girl..small one

Her innocence and delicate physique

made the king laugh
But it was his last chortle

mystique had already ripped

his heart out,

bringing an end to the demonic rule

Everyone cheered and danced

to the music of joy

until they realised that

she had disappeared again

They saw her last

on that day

Her mysticism remained

though she was not there

Dreams...

Dreams!! Everyone has a dream

beautiful yet unreal it seems,

everyone loves to dream

to get away from their bitter real life

False awakening, pessimist call it

but that’s their way to belittle

everything that flows against the streams

created by them

Every dream ain’t too big or small

neither it is wrong nor right

It is simple creation of our imagination

and amazing desiration

of a perfect bright life.

I dream of life filled

with happiness and freedom

from everything that I am

tied to this crazy world

He dreams about a time

where he wouldn’t be burdened by

his own miseries and problems

that had taken a smile from his face

She dreams of beautiful existence

that was once snatched away

She hopes one day

her past would disappear

in thin air

Everyone has a dream

of beautiful life

and hopes of doing something big

and happiness that would

stay with them forever

So dream!!

because sky is not the limit

Let people belittle you

but don’t let them snatch

the chances of bright hope

and future ahead of you

She is my dear Ma

We call her different names

Some call her ma and some call her mum

Whatever we call her, she will always remain our Ma

From the time of our birth,

we become her responsibility

Our safety and care is

her topmost priority

She showers her love and affection

expecting nothing in return

The only thing she ever wants

is our happiness

and for that she can go through anything

When we were little

we would look at her with awe

She was like an angel

fallen from the skies

to take care of us

on behalf of the creator

Her favorite pastimes

is preparing us with delicacies

and dressing us up with fancy

costumes and everything nice

When we are hurt,

it is she who would be worried

about our well being

Scolding us for our silly mischief

as well as caring us at the same time

She pampers us

and challenges us

She teaches us

to stand up and

never fall down

But if we do fall down

she is there to hold us

and put us back together

Unfortunately time has passed

and we are no longer little

Distance has widened between us

though we are trying our best

to lessen it with love

As we revisit those memories

sweet as well as bitter

we know that she was always with us

Love you ma

for being with us

caring us as well as bearing us

and tolerating our stupid arrogance

My sassy sister

My sassy sister

She dresses up like beauty queen

decked up in emerald green

dress she bought in forever 21

and heels that is eight inch tall

Parties and socialising is her thing

but in the end of day she is with me

candidly sharing sweet as well as sour

moments of her life

Her weakness is cosmetics and dresses

and also not to forget caring about her tresses

She is style icon of the family

with knowledge about new and emerging  fashion trends

Ask about politics or any worldly issues

she knows nothing

Ask  her about math or science or history

which is a unsolved mystery  

Which is the new beauty product

or which new hair style is in

she has all answers

Thanks to her constant surfing on the internet

Emotions and matters of love

she is wise and mature

than her elder sister

Sometimes she can be vulnerable

but then her family is always on her side

Crazy tactics and antics

don’t know where she gets that from

Whatever you say, she is good at

making people laugh or irritated

at her so called cute buffoonery

Last but not the least

she is a person you can count on

She is like a mirror

good with people she likes

worse with the ones she dislike

That’s her nature

you can’t really change it.

That’s why I call her

My lil sassy sister

Love you baby!!

That summer night

The moon was high above

smiling at the girl mourning her lost love

The momentary breeze blew

helping her to beat the mood so blue

The temperature was moderate

but it didn’t cool fire beneath her

She sat on the wet grass

at the park where no one knew

existed in the land

She re-winded the time back

to when she was free and happy

She loved her life to fullest

until he came and broke

her peaceful life.

Her immune heart became

weak to sadness and grief

Love was sweet

she read somewhere

But no book or philosopher

ever shared the hidden truth

That summer night

was exactly the same one

she was witnessing now

The only difference was

love existed then

but lost now

She became crazy

throwing out her good girl shoes

trying to fit in his world

that was vivid and lively

unlike her life that was plain and dull

The reason of her actions

was his happiness and smile

Despite her soul disapproved

her every single move

People called her fool

blaming her for drooling

over him when he didn’t care about her

However she turned deaf and blind

Accused them for being indifferent and heartless

Time! He had time for everyone

from known to unknown one

except her, Well, she was his little lamb

following him wherever he went

Everything had expiry date

including their relationship

Indeed! A relationship without love

was sure to end soon

As she sat on the wet grass

on the hilly top of the park

that summer night

There was a serious fight

between her mind and heart

Erasing him out of her life

was going to kill her

It wasn’t easy to cut

the love she was tending

for countable years

Love wasn’t easy

but falling over again was tough

Hopes of that shiny armour man

was disappearing in thin air

As the night was coming to an end

she had to think about the new beginning

Where was she going to start?

What future held for her?

Was she going to love again?
