The Iced Fires

(c) Shilpa Sandesh

It's tonight, an orange Moon,
Beneath which, two souls,
In dreams shall swoon,
Some desires,
Some delusions,
Together shall light,
The iced fires........

© Shilpa Sandesh In the stillness Of the summer noon, A shrill startles these ears. The pain pierces through, Like a sword; The eyes are blurred with tears, Can the cry of a heart, Be so loud, she wonders! Then from nowhere,comes suddenly A faint ray of hope, Crystal clear droplets of happiness, And she opens her arms, To embrace the joy of love. She feels alive and smiles. And then comes a blow, The blow of reality, That scatters everything; She gathers the broken pieces, And puts them together, Only to find, Memories full of cracks, What's lost can never be regained, And pain becomes her new joys.

The Path Of Struggles

 © Shilpa Sandesh, Tramping through the woods that be, The path I stride on, Diverges ahead of me; A loud voice I hear, The first lane proclaimed, 'Come, saunter forth, I am the trail, Of happiness you dream' Louder promulgates the other byway, 'Come, tread onto me, I am the course of struggles, that He has set, in your destiny' I stood aghast, In a dilemma that be, Whether to relinquish And quit, Or to traipse on, And take my chances! My heart yelled, For a facile gaiety, Mind howled, 'Exultation lacking struggle, without any scrambles or stumbles, is ephemeral, it's cursory and fugitive' And so there was, no more predicament, No more muddling, And I chose to walk, On the path of struggles!

A Promise To My Soul........

(c) Shilpa Sandesh I had promised to my soul, That I would cry no more, But I am sorry, The sobs just don't stop.... The tears just won't stop..... A heart that was, is still a heart, It's not a prey, On which you aim your dart, It hurts, it scars, And it leaves me wounded, And for a moment I feel, I feel like that fairy tale princess, A princess, trapped behind the golden bars! Let me stand in the rain, So that I wouldn't know I'm crying, And no tear shall remain a tear, Every drop shall turn into rain; Oh but my soul! I promise I won't cry, I would cry no more, And I would fight the tears, To keep the promise forevermore....
