muddy waters
that tried another stain
as it came in a deluge,
to the eye it wasnt huge
for it rose from underneath
and traveled to the zenith
the air turned foul and hazy
as the waters that splashed -
were all muddy
P.S: the poem as usual seems very artificial, but i had to write it because of 2 reasons. 1)One of my friend appreciated the usage of the phrase muddy waters in my mail to her. 2)The waters i was talking about turned out be more muddy.

The Depth of Dreams
and then lightning struck
a pool of clouds twirled
and opened up a shower
The sun shrunk in the chaos
when he tried to peep
the earth spit the rainbow
I asked myself 'Is this a Nightmare'
There were mirrors with ripples
and fragrance was all over
rain soaked everyone in life
and then,there she was
Beyond the beauty of blossoms
Beyond the rain dripping from boughs
Beyond the silly and shy sun
She was there
Everything dissolved into a moment of eternity
slowly, like sugar in water
to make her sweet enough
I asked 'Is this paradise'
'yes' I heard,
I wish , she said that
this is where, you dont touch ground
and sky doesnt seal you
I felt like a feather
curling round the air
flying, diving , fluttering
and feeling her all over me
And suddenly darkness chased light
It rose and engulfed her
I shivered with fear
as i turned blind
I screamed " What are these"
"they are dreams" I heard
"they are just eye deep,
leave them in sleep"
P.S: I guess , the poem didnt turn out to be a poem. But the last lines tempted to me to fill something over them. It is majorly arbit.

Distances Dissolving Distances
As I stood looking down
the rails crawled underneath
as they led the train ahead
and misled me into the past
At the turn of every wheel,
i realised the change
the blows that deformed me
the people that reformed me
all those that took me ahead
In the middle of this journey
i was dragged into dilemma
that, will I lose the past
while making a future,
as i see underneath
distances dissolving distances

They..
And looked down upon the sky
They saw my fame
But I was the same
Woozing blood from every wound
Did I hit the ground
They saw my shame
But I was the same
P.S : This is my first translation ever, i wonder how i dared to do it on a writing from sri sri. I know its softer than what sri sri meant. i hope i come out with better things soon

Its another day
the sun rose to the rain
they just said, "its another day
to be happy and gay"

To the youth
that rocks would break to bear it
Neither do we care for the logistics
nor for the power it takes
But how tender we are at heart
that we ourselves melt
not to the heat of the moment
but to the emotions we underwent
