Anxiety
The fears of Future
The tears of nature
The anxiety of past
The boredom of present
Could it be the last?
The fears ask to think
The tears make strong
The anxieties stop wrong
The present writes future’s link.
How it could be the last?
When negatives turn into task.
Mornings ask to run
Day may have some fun
Evening sit with calm
Nights fall under dream’s realm.
How it could be the last?
Where the brain is wider than sky
The heart is deeper than ocean
And the soul is cleaner than body.
It could not be the last
Because it begins its destination so fast
Dream’s with the glary of future
Soaks the tears of nature
How it could be the last?
Special 26 (Aerial Strike)
The hidden anguish of million hearts
Burst into bloody tears of joy
Salute to those flight mystery
Thunderous claps and cheers for dried up souls
Filling the water of eternal joys
After creating a remarkable history of victory.
Amorous
Love pleas for love, where it is?
Has lost anywhere?
Searched! Searched! Searched!
Found! Found! Found!
Was it that?
Colourless rotten became yellow
Smells toxic gas,
No honey brings flowery fragrance
Is it the patient of this sick world?
Where the heavy loud of materials,
Remains only last.
Emotionless Heart
Let the Heart be stonic
Harder and stronger than concrete
Nor expectations neither feelings
Ask for pains
Empty Heart laughs sans
Desirous showers of rains.
