Dawns to Dusks

                                              Dawns  to  Dusks There sat a light at dawn, A natural satellite at dusk. Under the latter, I am a mere pawn- Under the former, a quaint husk. The dawn tints the skies With a venerable vermillion, While the dusk fills your eyes With  any shade but cerulean. Have  these hours ever counted? Have they ever lasted enough? Not yet-  though they have mounted Peaks with  high crowns which were beyond  tough. Nights, days,  a sight  among dreams and mares, Noons and eves, both on sides extreme. For midnight, dawn is   an incredible snare, And  the hour by twilight, a  creation redeemed. Indeed rare pleasures to the eyes, Even more so to our minds. A sight unforgettable, a memory that never dies, Tying to us like inseparable binds. Minutes and weeks, months and years, Bring ...

A Glaze of Ice

                                                                                                                         A Glaze of Ice A cold, invigorating glaze of ice, Spreads across a sinuous, meandering crevice, Over barren lands it never dies, Turning to ice floes of bleak, fallacious bliss. Ornamenting the world with glacial preeminence, Vigilantly guarding it from overwhelming incandescence, In the north and south, it shields from bursts of sun-  In glacial peaks, all heat within us it overruns. To the heavens the plowers pray, " Oh, Gods of rain", "A year-round drought forebodes us from growing crops for the welfare of all, that hardly restrain, to fall to the aridity, whi...

INDIA: A WORLD OF OUR OWN

Image
                                                                                      INDIA: A WORLD OF OUR OWN F ro m the might of the river Indus, And the defiance of archaic ruins, Rose a country, distinct from others, Fought over for thousands of full moons. Valleys of verdant green meads, Between duads of timeworn hills, To the towering mounds of snow on Fabled peaks of undermined wills. Metropolitans surround the capital, Delhi, with the Indian flag standing tall. Skyscrapers and manors, forts and palaces, For modernity's call, and antiquity's drawl. Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Konkani, Malayalam, Telugu, Marati, Gujarati- There are no ends to all the languages, As they stand together in sheer equality. Thousands and thousands run errands across numerous wide roads and...

An Unbelievable Piscine Feat

Image
                          An Unbelievable Piscine Feat S even million years ago, innumerable species of fish roamed the ocean in peace. Sure,  there were incidents in which fish were killed for prey by the apex predators of that time.  However, the oceans had been clean and somehow seemed quite… pure in nature. Compared to the present days. Our oceans, then filled with fish, are now being filled with countless heaps of garbage.  All the marine creatures have been adjusting to this for a while now- -Except three, determined marine animals who stood strong in their vow to bring back  the former pristine glory of the vast ocean: Emerist, a killer whale who sought peace  and order from every being she ever met; Peiyers, a whale shark who was certainly more  daring than any other shark in the world; and Dritjon, a swordfish who seemed a bit  slower than the other swordfish. She was a great le...

The Light in the Shadows

    Stand up to darkness! The Light in the Shadows... The world melts in darkness, Indeed a dark sight to witness. However, you stand strong, Knowing that with you, light comes along. A sight of positivity, A thought of utmost purity! Nobody, not even me, can stand, Against the darkness; you are certainly  grand! Courageous, a daredevil, Standing against the true devil! A shrewd being, a miser of light, You are none other than the Null's very plight! Evil is none lesser than vacuum, To you, the protector of our impending doom! Light zooms in to assist you, You are the Great One, the rumour is true! The whole universe looks up to you. Indeed, Oh Incredible One, you   are fit to lead! Unleash the light trapped within your boundless mind, I have taught you this; keep it in mind! The light surrounding you combines, With the light that is not actually mine; It is present in you, my apprentice! Light has finally become your accomplice! Your imagination, your vividity, Your...

The Bittersweet Ocean

    The Bittersweet Ocean The vile waves and despairing storms; The roars of thunder, Crash through her saline arms. Fishermen to drown, and yachts to sink The ocean is a soothsayer your life is at her eye's blink. The ocean is a warrior, with her bores and cyclones. Her platinum currents are her rapiers, Her silver waves are her hornstones. Her waves drift ashore, and her salt provides itself to you. As this happens-- rest assured, The ocean will not lunge on cue. She holds the most powerful Of all marine creatures, From the most bizarre whales, To the most unexceptional critters. From the greatest of predators, And the most docile of fish, To the most copious supplies of coral, Which she deliberates to be her greatest wish. The ocean is a healer, With the mutinous water which she hurled- It is the very water that holds The life of all the world! -   Sahana Raghuraman

Hope in a bowl

                                                                                                              Hope in a bowl Times are hard, And good far off, Dismay is away a yard; Can the dark world be faced-off? But there comes a spark, A glimmer, a hope, Out of the times dark, Without the help of a rope. There it is! Inside the bowl! Eyes unable to miss, Not a bit foul! As the hand reaches out, Faster than light,  Without any doubt, Eyes holding the sight. And there's the glimmer, A single crumb, Hope not dimmer, Mind better than numb! The crumb goes down, Into the throat, The darkness to drown, In the light's moat. As the hope appears, By the food's help, The darkness' evil disappears, Giving light a j...
