Dusk

Soon the sky was covered
With duvets of stars, flickering out of clouds
And the gleaming moonlight
Halt to calm bright sunlight

 The birds high,
Surfing the ocean of clouds
Turns back to shore
On the trunk of oak.

 The diminished lamps 
along the avenues
Enlighten with faith to overcome
The darkness of darkest night.

 And there along the same street
Were the lonely hearts
Pumping the oxygenated blood
Tasteless of love.

 Few of them were broken
While few were on its verge
They wish to stay in dark
Where inebriation is a urge

 Who are they without their name?
It's nothing, just a game of fame
Whosoever will survive from dusk to dawn,
Will own the heart and the crown.

 Soon the bizzare sun will rise
Fading the miniatures stars
The devil mind will laugh
Over the helpless sinking hearts...

METRO LOVE

The sun became brighter. The formals went fully wet with sweat and the body become sticky. Even the crowd during the rush hour sweats awful like a rotten potato. Waiting for Delhi metro train at Chandani Chowk holding paperwork of office. As the metro passed with speed the papers in my hand flew away. I rushed to them and  started collecting them, I got all of them except the one which I found sticked on the face of a girl standing nearby. I leaned towards her to get the paper. I stretched my hand and  removed the paper from her face. My heartbeat got increased, A bright face was in the front of me with little tilted eyes and sharp small nose and small pink lips same as strawberry which I want to make it mine forever  and to imprisoned them into mine lips. Her long neck, long arms and long legs held every guy’s attention. Her diamond earrings twinkled in die sun. In those nanoseconds something happened to my heart. The beauty of the girl was same as the peacock with stre...

Could we make a Last call?

Could we make a last call And talk for hours and recall All the moments we decorated with joy And that night where a girl fall for a boy... I know this won't work anymore But what my heart Cries is you I have waited for you soo long Unaware of all expectations that went wrong A last call is all I wish To tell you how were my days When you were with me And to tell you how are my days When you are away I wish to tell you About the barren nights That you garnished with florals And those nights that went Sobbing into the dark rooms which scares me the most I wish to call you back to the world, That we both decorated with joyful moments To the world, where you felt safe from the people And the world, where I was happy.... Since that won't work All my wishes vanished with the last call and the day you told that "This won't go anymore"...... ~Praful Maheshwari

I Fly Like a Leaf

I fly like a leaf In the dusk of barren autumn Detached and unmatched From the greens of valleys And at the hilltop I was falling down Where the air sings me a song And my clashings with words Claps in a way Like strings of guitar strummed Or the air finding it's way out of flute Illuminating out melodious tone And with every beat of drum Dead Heart rejoiced. I was still flying above the ground And Waving my tail, To thrust myself up and To keep myself in illusion That ground is far below And I am on seventh sky Waving through rainbow Hiding in silhouette of clouds. Suddenly, The breeze left me, Alone, above and high. The gravity started kissing the dead me And with its affection I was soon on ground I was weeping in pain While the layers of soil covered my wounds And I was buried and killed by gravity Looking through new palace of earth I wasn't the only whore of gravity There were thousands like me Buried deep and dead With desires to escape ...
