Diary of a Bookworm

Sneaking over Holmes’ shoulder

I silently munch into words,

And crawl onto the book holder

Riding on the Chariot of Gods;

Defeating Jules Verne I go round the world safe and sound

In mere a week and reach the Baskerville’s hound.

The ‘Famous Five’ and ‘Secret Seven’ make the best of my friend

Dozing off against Shakespeare I meet my day’s end.

But my Tuesdays are no usual as I spend my time with Morrie

And have my bit of lunch with Anne in the War’s red glory,

Then I board the Train to Pakistan

And peep into a Brief History of Time as I learn

The secrets of Narnia and its magic;

The tales of Oliver Twist makes me pale and sick.

The Diary of a Wimpy kid amuses me the most

As I spend my leisure on Monte Cristo’s coast.

I am a captive on a land

Of print on paper in my hand,

But do not be bothered, do not fear

‘coz I am a blissful captive here.

Perfect, Not Perfect

Behind closed doors when the curtain closes, Too many voices screaming through A few rooms extend to that of a million losses All they are obsessed with what was never true; Stumbling back falling in the globe of fake smiles Every bit so damn perfect ,never fails to leave cue, Expectations running ahead a million miles Leaving to deal with a state of Black and Blue! Falling back again ,pretending what we never saw Still making alive through thick and thin Invisible scratches on the pale skin, they like to draw Hiding away from the world, away in the ripped jean. Perfect ,ever been so damn perfect Now it's scary to be the odd one out; Just like the fortune cookies burned beyond baked Never gets old what the fuss is all 'bout! That distant world of constant criticism All they do is judge at the first sight Breaking up the bars of the good old prison Who ever returned unstained from such a fight? An unhappy generation with happy pictures Ashamed of a broken heart hidden behin

Cup of Change

You said it was over But it's not over yet,not over yet You promised that it was over You said you won't discriminate You promised you'll be different Thinking 'bout you lately Know your favorite is the red paint Tears that you chose not to see. Be it blonde,brunette,black or fade Or the catchy strings of red Be it wavy,plain,curled or straight It all makes the same braid Be it the brown,blue,green or hazel Or any other in the color palette Let's just focus on the story the eyes tell And burn all standards of beauty set; Let's hug the warmth of the heart And ditch those who've set bars Of height and weight that hurt The choice is not always his or hers. The grey cloud of greed Shaken up by the bright light of kindness The tiny granules of arrogance Washed up by the tides of curiosity Where nobody's scared out of the fence And can swim in the waves of diversity Where every war of Colorado Is blown away by the breeze of p

Miss Ya

Miss your memories,miss your smell Miss the stories you used to tell, With your shine,with your rain How you washed away all the pain; Miss those lovely days When your sand used to kiss my feet, As I dated time by your bays Miss those turquoise waves that used to hit; Miss those starry nights Staring at your mesmerizing skies, Miss those lovely sights Now your breath is filled with sighs. Miss your cries on the leafy tops Your warm hugs that I used to feel, Miss your tears hidden as dew drops Your beauty that almost felt reel; Miss your charm in spring and fall Transformed to a rainbow paradise, Miss your voice when you used to call Through the crickets,it felt so nice. Miss your laugh when you used to sway And dance in the wintry nights, Miss your comfy lap I used to lay Watching the creative kites. Miss your embrace,miss your smiles Lost in the sphere of honks and breaks, Miss your beauty,lost in files Miss your ripples on your lakes. Miss
