Treacherous Night

He did break... trying to make...
The path was thorny- the lights had dwindled...
He looked above at the heavens concealed...
Gloomy tar spattered the sky...
His limbs were gagged- he wailed in pain... 
His agony scarred the treacherous night...

Bleeding feet he knocked the gate-
'Come my son,' the father said. 
'You walked the distance, your demons made.
you fell from sky and got misled...
The soothing arms were always yours...
Come my son-I am always yours...'  
Rashmi.

If I had All The Powers...

If I Had All The Powers

Dancing always
to your tune
i took life
the way you gifted

Learning always
steps,not mine
i took life
the way you gifted

Braving always
missing not a beat
i took life
the way you gifted

But now staggering steps falter
Beats are out of tune
Panting breath descending
The once musical dune

Hold me in your arms
Refuging the tortured soul
If i had all the powers
Then then why would i come to you?

Salvation........

Lurking slyly
Putrid deadly droplets
Seething..........

Enveloping Soul and Mind
Gliding obliviously to oblivion
Sinking.....

Wounded Feet
Traversing vicious thorny paths
Bleeding.....

Scaling rugged peaks
Scattering fiery sweaty beads
Propitiating...
