A Prisoner of my own Mind

Hello There! How do you do?
I'm sure you're well
I'm fine here
And hope you're well too.

Isn't the water too cold?
I swear its true.
Nay, it feels fine against my skin.
I'm made of a tougher mold.

Should I regale you with a tale of mine?
Of a day at work.
Or of my reminisces
I promise to be worth your time.

The talks start thus, and time starts to flow.
I loose myself in the conversation.
The company of my friend
Makes my mood suddenly glow.

But all good things must come to a close
And I turn off the tap
And as the water ceases to flow
I turn my back to the mirror
And slowly close the door.

Tiny as they were, these devices conceived even tinier contraptions. Innocuous and gullible, a little Earth must have wiggled in the radiance of its mother. Since then life surged; and has never ceased to stop. Life goes along its path, never meaning to stop. Ever so nimble, yet so staunch.

Alluring and irresistible, the wings of creativity threaten to stray this diminutive mouse from the piper’s entourage. Or does it? Cold and harsh hands tug him along the predestined path, impassive eye...

The Fight

In the dusty roads of life, The heart searches for a friend. In the lonely walks of love, The soul longs for a companion. The darkness of the skies, Dampen the once high spirits. The dreary clouds, Crush the mind's lingering hope. The light that awaits me, Seems to flicker at the distance. And the tunnel seems to stretch, Without an end. Though my legs lack the strength, My sinews carry on the fight. Though my heart has given up, My blood flows hot.

College days

I try and I try to forget The days of my youth But the memories of the innocence Keep slipping my grasp The days spent wondering Of things we could become The nights spent complaining Of girls we couldn't court The months in the heat Roaming aimlessly tween the corridors The moments we huddled In the winter's cold I miss the shoulders That I'd taken for granted I miss the bonds That I believed would never break The green grass The empty class The broken heart The cold hearth They all remind me Of the best days of my life Of the days spent free of strife Of friends and promises Made between brothers
