Shadows

They might be dark and scary,
But very important to us.
Sometimes blurred and glary,
Sometimes sharp and thus,
They indicate the presence,
Of a mere figure by.
They indicate the actions,
Like talk, jump or cry.

They follow you around, 
In a picture neatly traced,
The traced picture is no one but,
Your very own face.
With the rest of you of course,
They come out of the outward door,
Of the "Object and Light" merge place,
At a high pace.

They sometimes don't appear,
For they have fear,
Towards the great transparent objects.
They dare not emit shadows.
They keep the doors closed,
Shadows are restricted from that door.
Only dear light is allowed to go,
These transparents at this are a pro.

Translucents only allow a selected few,
And they form around it shadowy dews.
Opaque allows all the shadows,
Disclosing the light alone.
Bright light is emitted by transparent,
Mild light by translucent.
Absolutely no light by Opaque the Great,
But when will shadows meet fate?

Fate of the day happens at night,
The time dreaded by all shadows.
There is no light, there is no might,
There are no shadows either!
There is only darkness which we all dread,
It discloses both light and shadows.
So evil and unjust it is!
But day's mind is never so narrow.

Day is thoughtful, and heartfelt,
It allows both light and shadow to pass.
We enjoy day, we spend day,
We like to twist and turn and toss.
Shadows are friends of Translucent and Opaque,
....but what if shadows were fake?
They can't be, they are natural, you see,
....so they surely can't me manmade.

So Close, Yet So Far

  What you knew you had right beside you What you never knew might leave you What you had neglected for days What you wished was still there, within your gaze. That miniscule amount of hope  That you feel lingering close by You could open out your arms, embrace it, But suddenly it's high in the sky. Once within your grasp, But now away from you, Don't waste a moment on a wee gasp, Time won't stop, and the moving hope too. Each moment is to be caught, Each memory to be cherished, Hold them carefully in your arms, Before they shall vanish. The consistent inkling when you feel, Something close, yet so far, Is only because you know yourself, That it is within your grasp, but not within your confidence. If you're positive enough that you can hold it, The 'it' that is mysterious and something only you know, You can hold the precious 'it', Clutch it tight, don't let it go. You must be close to the end of the day, With its cliffs and slopes and Rocky slides,...

Stars

  Shining in the vast night sky, I see them from afar. Dominated by the brighter moon, There glimmer the stars. Mostly hidden by the cruel shadows, Or by the thick, misty clouds. But they do not give up, they still glimmer on, They make their voice be heard loud. Even though they're hardly seen, Even though they're hardly thought of, They know that someday they will be, Thought of, honoured and loved. So take an inspiration from stars, Show your true essence, Continue to shimmer, ignore the darkness, Because one day it'll fear your presence. 

Laughter and Smiles

  Are you feeling sad,  Are you feeling low? Do you wish to fly like a bird, But can't do so? Do you wish to swim like a dolphin, But can't do it just yet? Do you wish to be free of worries, But your unbreakable bond with it is set? Are you surrounded by shadows, That smother you till you drop? Are you getting pulled into a black hole, Your worries eat you, and you can't stop? Or perhaps you're scared, Of the dark and doom surrounding you, You feel like it's closing in,   And there's nothing you can do. You're lost in a land of confusion,  Where things are tangled together, Just like your poor mind, Which is in a messy weather. But let me tell you what to do, To beat up all your worries, There's no problem that can't be undone, We'll chase it all away in a flurry. Has it been weeks, Since your lips curled into a smile? Has it been weeks,  Since you used to laugh all the while? Why, you can do it now too! Does there have to be a reason to smile? B...
