Wind

Did you hear 

The wind calling my name

So dearly did it utter

My happiness, I couldn't tame


The birds heard it too

And I looked above at the sky

They tried to tell me 

Didn't mean to pry


For I don't understand 

The language of the unknown 

I forgot that they know

Whenever in silence you groan


Then the mighty lemon tree

Called me in its embrace

The thorns pierced my soul 

Telling me of pain's grace 


It listened to 

All I had to say

My whinings that 

Gets lost in my dismay


Showed me a broken nest

The birds abandoned it and went

"You're not lost without a home"

Is perhaps what they meant


There were the tall ones as well 

(trees)

But I couldn't reach them 

One has to look in the eyes 

To get across the mayhem 


Of thoughts that went awry

And I could follow none

When it comes to me

They all seem to be mistaken


The wind came calling again

Reminding me of my chores

Blowing genlty all the while

In the end one returns to 

what one abhors

SILENCE

As the sun goes down And I sit, all alone in my room Silence envelopes me Like spring in full bloom It dissolves in the air Making it heavy and dense Then lands on my shoulders Announcing its presence The arrival of silence Is way too loud I feel like burying my ears Underneath a thick shroud It throws words at me Kind and unkind Makes me utter thoughts That I had left behind Then it seeps in Screaming inside my head Trying to wake All that is dead I ignore it, fight it And try to have my way Before I finally let it be I just push it away Then it greets me softly  Like a good old friend Who kept me company Wherever I couldn't blend For Silence always found me Trying to fit in the crowd And has reminded me again n again Of your individuality, you must be proud It has always waited patiently Whenever I go out It knows I'll be needing its embrace Without a doubt Silence has been with me For as long as I can remember In all my darkness It kept burning as an ember It never leaves me...

Cage

At the end I couldn't escape This cage And how could I When it's made of  My very bones  And locked by My very blood I sit staring At that enchanted door Only once did it open  Or so I thought  And I went out Or so did I remember  Was it all a facade Who cares Because after all All I could do was To pretend  Smiles Tears Worries Fears I could no longer differentiate  What was originally  Mine But who cares When at the end I returned  Or thrown back Into this cage again Would it have been better If I never realised  Lived all my life  Happily confined I have this thought sometimes  Because going out was no better  I got tired Of people  Of myself Of this envy  How do they do that? Why is it so easy for them? Why can't I? Why do I always have to fight? And I only took a Sigh  Then booom!! Back in the cage To be honest  I kinda felt comfortable  It has been my home after all But that's not how it work...
