Pia Pia



Writing to the tunes of a tamil kuthu song! 



Unleash the pyaar 
When the chest is too tight 
and future not too bright 
why so morose 
when you can write a killer prose

Get in the groove lady 
and do a bam chika bam bam 
dreams can be lost and won 
firstly you need to run 
Smile at the sun
we don't need another nun 
actually we do 
Amen! 


But first go 
nanananana
yah yoo
yipee 
whooo 
MEEE

Found a judgement I was searching for all day , so decided to unleash some silliness :P

An ode to the good night




The night gave me his shirt
And solace and comfort
I could stare at his face
All night long
And expose my secrets how

He gifted me solace
From mundane encumbrances
For most part exacerbated by
That cantankerous bitch known as day.

Her piercing eyes
Questioning everything
Intent on making me sweat
You cannot excise the truth mom
Just ask nicely maybe?

Why do you like him more you ask
I can walk his streets
Dark it maybe
Safe to brandish out my scattered self  
And lick the ice cream off my hand

Streets sparse with kindred spirits
Silent whispers
Ready to let me in
On their simmering secrets




Once the sunlight sets in
The clocks get reset
The same souls turn back into harsh humans &
Atone for yesterday’s falter

With my back broken
I limp through the day
And surrender to my dear father
He puts on his twinkling smile
Reserved only for these special nights
And snuggles his daughter
The travails of the day seem far away
If only for these few hours.


"in the street of the sky night walks scattering poems" took this Toad's prompt to heart and the results are for yours to see.

Stalagmites

Sharing a poem I handwrote my friends for this friendship day :) sorry for the non posting. Laptop crash and a law career makes writing difficult!


Stalagmites gracing the inner linings of my heart
inner compasses gently swaying me away
from turbulent mirages , of
an insecure voice 
which once belonged to my mind 

Making me believe 
that I can be more 
than my self
by being myself

My saviors in nightgowns
roaming a love lost town
when we have each other
we will always be home
