"Sparkle of hope in the midst of a crack"


        

         Sparkle of hope in the midst of a crack
Standing at the edge of the road

I felt my legs tremble beneath me

The road with you was the one i loved to travel always

The road without you was bitter and harsh

But now came a time where both the roads seem to be equally painful

Those waves of the sea once dance around my feet

Now misled me and splashed right at my face

But never did i think that those innocent eyes will lie to me a second time

Dreams and expectations i had none

But a heart full of love i did have

Games I knew none except the ones played on board

So I folded my hands and gazed up

Surrendered myself to the one who created me

There shone a light which have certainly never seen before

It radiated an energy into me i have never felt before

Don’t let him win this game murmured a soft voice

I was able to hold back my tears which i never ever could

A ray of hope i now can forecast

Though everything  that reminded me of you weakened me.

I try to look down and walk¸ trying my best not to shake and fall.

This strong power made me tough

It helped me erase your memories one by one

Though marks were left behind

I’d like to keep these scars as a memory of you

It helped me write this poem and

will always help me to stay away from roses with thorns


This Poem was written for a 'Poem Writing Competition' I participated. The Topic was  "Roses & Thorns".

Lost in Two Dimensions

  We gaze at screens, day and night, A world so flat, yet shining bright. Pixels dance, but can’t replace, The warmth of touch, a loved one’s face. No scent of earth, no ocean's breeze, No velvet grass beneath our knees. No taste of rain, no fire’s glow, Just silent echoes, a hollow show. Are we alive, or just a view? A life so crisp, yet missing hue. Step outside, let senses soar, Feel, breathe, taste—be whole once more. # unLearn

To my Dearest Grandmother....

                Cultivating habits like writing a dairy is not a cake walk anymore. Atleast not in this generation where we are all drowning in the ocean of technology. Infact Ayamachi once asked me “ Mole! Ee Phone il entha ullathu? Ellavarum ithu epozhum enthina pidichu kondu nadakunnathu? . Those words hit deep and I realised we are giving more importance to this nonliving man made thing than anything else. Are we carrying the Bible the same way everywhere we go?                     While we jot down our “To Do Lists” Ayammachi has it memorised. There used to be a time when landphones existed  in every house and when she memorised the telephone numbers of her near and dear ones. How many phone numbers can we tell by heart?                   She also has a “Kanaku Pusthakam” where she writes her daily expenses and calculations. She also ...
