Expectations

Its a slippery edge up there

When you are on cloud nine
One little twist
And off you fall
From the sky to deep down below

They give you wings

You perch on the highest twig

In a blow

the twig breaks

and off you are on the ground

The delicate piece

of crystal glass

Enigma of beauty when held high

One twist of hand

and next moment its shattered to pieces

Such are expectations!!

As high as the cloud nine

The joy of the highest branch

The beauty of the crystal glass

Such are expectations!!
Slippery as the edge
Risky as the delicate twig
And painful as the broken glass

Expect as long as you can fulfill.
Don't let them weigh you down!
Dream big, expect small!

When you call!

Light off and light on,
goes my screen repeatedly
Anxiously waiting
for your call
Eyes glued to the screen,
waiting for your response

It brightens up

when you call

Makes funny sounds

and displays your pic

It dances to its tune

Shaking my whole bed

The two ends of
the long black wire
Make sure to get entangled
It is a struggle to set them free
As the screen lights up
when you call

It brightens up

when you call

There is a huge curve

from my one ear to the other

Eyes gleaming with joy

seeing your name on the display

I make my way out
to the terrace
So I can speak up my mind
Laugh to the fullest
And blush and smile
as I like

And when there is goodbye

My screen becomes black again

But the curve on my face

becomes even wider

And eyes await and check the screen

to receive the next call you make!

The cold winds of winter evening

Swish and whoosh!

Swish and whoosh!!

Went the winds in the street!

Creek and creek!

Creek, creeky, creek!!

My rusty window to and fro!

Brrrrr....stretching my jacket from all ends

to bring it together,

Hoping to block every single speck of air

From bringing me shivers!

The story of every cold winter night

Dark empty streets,

Ghostly silence of the nature

Dipping temperatures.

A warm cup of coffee

Brings warmth to the core,

A cosy blanket

A must for a good night sleep

A sturdy jacket

To keep the cold away,

A wooly fur cap

That saves my ears from freezing

To beat the darkness of mind and heart

Empty souls and lonely hearts,

A bear hug filled with love

Is all you need to beat the winter blues!
