The Unrequited Love Poem

Day 40

I love him dearly.

In the depths of his eyes,

A sea of knowledge and an emotion of kindness.

His praises for Chardonnay spilled with delight.

History, books and literature were all he desired.

I looked at him longingly and gave him all my attention.

Not once did I miss his classes of European Literature.

He always smiled at me and my heart fluttered with joy.

But he looked at me like he looked at everyone else.

Soon days of college came to an end.

And never did I see him again.

A Bird’s Song

Day 38

A bird fluttered around,

Singing a mysterious song.

No usual chirping or sounds of calling out.

It sang a deep, quaint song,

It was brief but melodious.

Eerie, sinless and sensuous.

The mellow, bold tune

Soon began to fade.

The bird passed into oblivion,

Only the song hauntingly remained.

What Does One Do?

Day 37

In the midst of commotion,

It’s easy to lose your identity.

Hide behind or disappear,

Nobody would notice.

But when you stand alone,

It’s a problem too.

You stand out and soon,

The commotion is all about you.

Judgemental pricks.

Live and let live.

A Boy on a Cliff

Day 35

On the edge of a mountain cliff,

A little boy settles down..

To glance up at the clear skies.

and to behold the magnificence

Lying ahead of him.

Serene natural splendour

Deep valleys and lakes,

Blessed forests and picturesque mountainscapes.

The little boy stops by everyday

To forget his story,

and to rejoice in nature’s glory.

Hello Rain

Day 34

Here you come again.

Hanging out on my window pane.

You give me chills when I step out in the open air.

You cause commotion on the lanes,

With puddles of muddy water here and there.

Yet, every time I see you,

I fall in love a little more with you again.

A Drifting Leaf

Day 31

Drifting in the air

A dried leaf

Sometimes lying on the ground.

Flying with the blowing wind.

Floating away

With no direction.

Wind, water, soil or rain

It settles wherever

Doesn’t complain

Glad about the change.

Random Rhymes

Day 25

The church bells ring

The birds sing

Perched on the branches, they swing

Some sweet memories they bring.

While a girl in her red cap,

Crosses the street holding a cat

and has a small chat,

With a naughty lil brat.
