Midnight Musings

The Appraisal I found myself privy, Once, to this overt secret, “A culprit’s being brought to justice”, they hushed, Hurriedly handing me a leaflet ! I sat in the court Of oak and cedar; people in yin -yang dressing, These robes told tales of good in bad, And of wolves in sheep’s clothing ! The spineless world, bestowed justice, Judged the accused from a pedestal, “Summon the murderess ! Committed has she, a crime immoral ! ” A figure drifted in, clothed in white, Noiselessly, through the doors, And calmly climbed the lectern, Amidst angry uproars !   Pretentious, malicious, cruel, unkind, They hurled at her such daggers, Until they gave her time, to justify, Why she left their lives in shatters ! “I am clothed in white,” she said, “I possess thus, all shades of life, Darkened is your mind and heart, Each, at the other’s throat with a knife ! ” “I come to the heart, stay in it, Leave, when the soul does, Those w...

Night I looked at the sun one last time, And then waved goodbye, Because I was to receive the night, Dark and deep like his eyes! Night came with some friends, The moon and the stars, And they brought along memories, To keep me company in late hours! The memories began their carnival, And it left me in tears, As before his arrival, I was unaware of my fears! So night invited a cool breeze, She knew I loved its smell, And put to sleep the sadness, Which in me dwells! But night stayed till dawn, To ensure my happiness, after she was gone,  I’m grateful to her, for the solace she brings, She’s dear to me, more than material things!

A Beautiful Woman   She ties up her tresses, And bites the bullet for me, She is a goddess, my saviour, In this merciless sea ! Celebrated but obscured, She smiles happily still, Her feminine charm hides, A coveted iron will ! She’s a masterpiece, with a golden heart, Who forgives unceasingly, She’s kept me rooted yet given me wings, Words cannot describe her, fittingly ! The unsung force behind my victories, I bow to her today, My luminary, since I first opened my eyes, I wish her the happiest Mother’s day !   Happy Mother's Day to all the supermoms, trust me, whether your kids say it often or not, they appreciate and love you from the bottom of their hearts! A big shout out to all moms for making our lives the best!   

The Girl Who Never Stopped Smiling                              Spring in her step, s he walks down the hall, In excited voices,  her name they call ,   Perfection is not her forte, but she keeps trying,  She is the girl who never stopped smiling! And there, at the back bench, They talk of her once or twice, She is amicable, not fun they say, But to everyone she’s nice !     Cheerful as ever, they’ve seldom seen her cry, She greets all courteously, if she passes by, To those who know her inside-out,  her eyes give her away, They can tell without doubt, s he kept her hurt at bay ! She’s been through times memorable, Some rather defiling, But maybe she’s happy as she is, The girl who never stopped smiling !     So when I look at her tomorrow, She’ll respond grac...
