Shreya's Poetry

Tiny shadows lurking in the hallway Following you like a creep they sway Melting into darkness,the silence So errie,you might even lose sense; Cracking up the wooden stairs Footsteps that you never heard The bravest of the bravest dares Lost when the real spook is shared. Feel someone knocking the door Isn't there a bell to ring? Open it and freeze to your floor To see you're the one to ping; Stumbling back,you break down in tears The bed you left is no more empty Yet not reached the height of fears When you spot you're sleeping,so pretty . Every night,you grab a midnight snack With your buddy,you warned to behave Taken aback as you turn your back Only to watch him drifting to his grave; Finding a shoulder to rest on In the now broken elevator Wait for a second,hold on Weren't you alone in here? You were dreaming,sound asleep Someone tried to choke you up Jolting awake from your night sleep Panting for stale breath,you sat up; Only to see a...

It's been pretty messed up lately So much so you've scarred me fully A stormy inception to the new year Weakening the barriers of all fear Daunting to show a tsunami of news To portray how many more lives to lose Burning alive in the glowing bushes Wait till the death toll rushes ! Sighs to the ones we've lost Hopes to meet the ones we miss most And it all started last December Sighs to the world we remember Sighs to all that were washed away Hopes to be better with every passing day April dressed like bloodbath in calendar Mayhem looks no less than a disaster! Step aside the stormy flood Conflicts to challenge the nationality of blood Step aside the broken branches Gas leaks to decorate the incoming avalanches Cheers to those who chose to fight Like heroes yet not for limelight Cheers to those who chose to risk An unsung effort to fix the broken disc! Plunging in the blankness of the dark empty roads Footsteps washed away along with heavy loads ...

The lightning strikes a distant affair Chasing the clouds a lovely dare Snow is settling in the dazzling whites The world seems silent even in the fights; Flights are gone ,now gone tonight The birds are lonely ,kissing the light Written on the flattering flags Colors gawk at the change they lag, Frozen in time history is here The pinch of hope survives on fear. Portray her love,till she's broke Needs or wants they always poke Holding on,you're way too tight Crushing her down till she bites They drive all night,all day long Futile efforts to prove her wrong ; It's funny they stand up only to yell The story so hard,so hard to tell, They're so insecure, Hell,she feels too pierced to cure. She smiles upon the hills Spend her love,they cover her in bills She cries even while burning bright Frozen in their hearts,such a plight You're too late,now it's hard to believe She's just waiting for you to leave; In the rains ,in the pain...

Fumbling around to find my phone ring Gasping at it hearing a ping "I think I found my girl" So he does like another girl He must have never liked me Accept we are just friends and let it be "So tell me who it is" A lost chance I'll always miss "She's from school...I really like her I just dont know how to tell her" This has gone way too far "Dude just tell her" "I think it may not be the right time" It's okay my heart its gonna be fine "Just tell her you idiot"                            It reminds me of the pain of period My heart is shattered, tears dry Curl up in a corner I wanna die But why do I even care All bits of this friendship was a dare "I'm too nervous...lemme try on you?" Wow now have to deal with this A fake proposal a bliss What about the times we spent Those smiles and glances they meant? Maybe I'm overthinking "Okay...blurt out your thing " ...

Under the monarchy of the cruel Fell all the sections of the society He turned them sick and pale And exhibited his versatility. Mother believed them And gave away her belongings But he smiled a nice witty grin Now who could stop her longings? She gave away her treasures Such an amount it was! Can anyone even measure How costly it was? He played with her fate And plunderes them Their precious life he ate And made her lame. But her sons did wake To protect their mother The life of the cruel to take And to fight altogether. Such was the tale Of achieving freedom That the Indians could tell To the other Kingdom.

Walking across the Brooke We admire all around but fail to look What would happen if they barefooted you Bleeding from the rough stones,you would hardly have any clue Just like we rarely see what parents do Always acting like a shield and behaving like a shoe. A shoe is useless without its sole And so is a human being without his soul The physical body is just a broken shoe Only the mind can decide what it can do; A pair of shoes is a great resource But a single one,worthless even with herculean force So is the society,so are we Who wins is always 'us' and not the 'me'. Ever noticed the shoelaces That you tie in a load of paces One loose one tight just a perfect balance So like your traits to build the proper performance All day long you work so hard And so do your shoes without saying a word Still they prefer to be on the ground Being so humble till success is found No matter what they are never proud Never like your mouth,so loud. The...

Once upon a time,there lived a small fly The scummy smell of gutters caused his family to die Feeling alone and lonely there He went around for a city tour here Sat on the windscreen for a while As his ears blocked with the noise from mile Unable to bear such humdrum Sat on the dirt of a passing trum Soon the green lights turned red As the smoke caused his lungs to fade. Choking and gasping for air he flew And landed on the once green hue Found some dead flies on the tattered leaf Cried for sometime in grief Eyes swelled and his nose ran Before even realizing got a tan That it was from the spices Of the nearby food shop "Chill with Slices" Scared and confused he flew and flew And rested on the window of an apartment new. Soon the monster started shaking Not from an earthquake,but while making As he buzzed,the building collapsed A close call from being elapsed He sat down on a branch to think Trying all the puzzle pieces to link As a wrapper fl...

Splashes of rain Kiss my pane Beneath the thunder As a scared pup hides under The metal bridge shakes with fright My vision blurring in the darkness of night I catch a red light As lightening crackles The puddles record people's plight From natures glorious shackle A poor lad plays with mud Amidst the affluent's tears whose shoes turns turd; The glass soon turns dark and dark As I glance at the wet lush life The image of the morning park Now glows past the busy drive As i set back and relax And lose myself in the gleeful moment The sun now heats it to its max As I feel the warmth with exponent. Such a sweet bird sings merrily And the petunias swinging The twigs now clap happily The breeze in a tune mingling I spend my days leaning over my window Feeling the sun,the wind and the rain Like a happy soul in a meadow Hearing the distant roar of the train And doze off with the image of shining Of stars like diamonds in the sky. One day s...

"Go to the doorway To check the new arrivals Focus less on what they have to say And confirm other close calls" Says the Almighty , Resting on his soft bed amidst the feather. "Sorry my lord "says his secretary "Heaven website is hacked, forgive me father", "Every spirit has to prove his talent To get the hall pass", Declared the Lord as he went Back to his game of chess pass; Back on the cloud Someone was pulling Tagore's long beard While Tansen started singing loud As the crowd became mad,anger engulfed the guard. Struggling with Mona Lisa Heavily sighed da Vinci As Galileo bragged about the tower of Pisa, He got attacked by a bee; 'Coz the stone hit the hive And he had to run a lot for life. Newton stood on a metre tile As he made a square around it And faked himself as Pascal who hid behind a pile And was playing hide and seek. Gandhiji was mastering hockey With the bac...
