A piece of the puzzle that doesn’t fit in

Posted on September 2, 2021 by niyatiapril

Emotions flow like gurgling streams

rushing through my veins like lucid dreams

I am forlorn in these thoughts of mine

Head empty and just living for the divine

Sometimes I feel nothing,

at the same time, I feel everything

A piece of the puzzle that doesn’t fit in

Try as I might

I easily lose sight

Maybe it’s just me, maybe it’s everyone

maybe this is what we all feel

but try very hard and succeed to conceal

Sometimes the answers’ right there in front of me

but yet its something I cannot see

Maybe some answers are not meant to be found

and to our fates, we are all bound

Someday the veil shall be lifted

and through this fog, reality will be sifted.

Sometimes I wish for a guide

Posted on August 12, 2021 by niyatiapril

Sometimes I wish for a guide

Something by which I could abide

Something that told me whether I was wrong or right

Something that told me whether my future is dark or bright

Wouldn’t life be simpler?

If only it had a bit of structure

Sometimes it’s all too complicated

I wonder if my decisions are good or ill-fated?

Sometimes I wish to see in black and white

Then my thoughts wouldn’t have to frequently fight

Hence, I wish for a guide

Something by which I could abide.

Laurels of the past

Posted on August 17, 2020 by niyatiapril

Laurels of glory

knew not their folly

of raising a man

who with the passage of time becomes vainer

A cry for help from a grieving soul

when they were bestowed he was but a young foal

with ego his poor soul had become as black as coal

he thought he could own everyone

the ones who could defy him? hah! to him there were none

he was his parents pride and joy

since he was a wee boy

but all their love couldn’t have told

that this boy’s tale was one of woe

because he was unaware of this world

that would leave him aghast

for little did this boy know

that one cannot rest on the laurels of the past.

Deep within we are the same

Buy Abstract Humans by Community Artists Group@ Rs. 184490. Code ...

the fiber of the same being

walking on life’s different lanes

all curious, all keen

Wanting to live our best lives

to be content, to be satisfied

to be protected from malice, deciet and lies

not to be burdened, not to be tied

Dreaming of a better tomorrow

of serene happy faces

sans any sorrow

peace and quiet in all places.

Catherine the scorned

Posted on July 8, 2020 by niyatiapril

Ocean breeze swept her hair

her gestures are of creative flair Épinglé sur RPG NPC

fallen angels sang her name

but their voices fell on deaf ears in vain

fading hues adorned her clothes

encircling her heart were tragic woes

vowing to take revenge

she has become a heartless wench

her heart an empty casket

her sorrow; she no longer can mask it.

Distractions

Posted on July 1, 2019 by niyatiapril

Sometimes I wonder what my purpose is

I wonder indeed

734434-200

is it to find myself or help people in need

but before I wonder and ponder deep

a notification takes away my attention

and I look at my phone to see what it has to say

and my musings are left for another day

Daily Ruminations

Posted on August 23, 2018 by niyatiapril

While I walking to my class, observing the daily chaos, I noticed a bird at the bottom of a fence. The fence surrounded a playground and was covered with a green mesh windscreen. The bird hopped a little above the fence but still couldn’t fly over the fence and because of the green windscreen mesh it couldn’t even see what was ahead of it, it hopped yet again a little higher but still couldn’t fly over, then finally the bird flew all the way to the top of the fence and lo and behold, it finally flew over the fence.

We humans also face such similar situations in our life, we take flight to reach our goals but many times we are met with severe weather conditions where we lose our way and lose sight of our goals, in such times we must persevere, we must not lose hope however bleak the circumstances, we must keep flying and navigating with all our will till we reach our goals.

We must find a way to overcome the green windscreen in front of us and fly beyond the fence, all one has to do is believe in themselves.

Melancholic Musing

Posted on January 8, 2018 by niyatiapril

Why do people hurt those closest to them?

They want to earn respect and be famous around strangers,

but often in that process become strangers to their own family.

they are at their best behaviour around strangers,

but showcase their worst to their near ones.

Why are we instead of gaining love of one’s own family, out to get the love of people who at the end of the day have their own family and won’t care as much for you? and yet it is your family which will be worried if you’re cold or hungry.

And all you do is drive them away with constant bombarding, only to long for them in the winter of your life.

It is indeed a sorrowful world we live in.
