Days and Nights

 Days and Nights

 

The sun rises,

Filling a blue hue in the skies.

The clouds as white as ever,

The moon still lies in mild sight.

The people are asleep in great might.

The birds chirp happily,

The animals roam gleefully.

How lethargic the rays are!

The light isn’t reaching so far,

The east showing the sail of the sun,

A sail to be remembered and is so fun.


The sun right on top,

Slowly it makes even the water hop.

The clouds begin to show their grey,

And the dirt shall soon turn like clay.

The sun seems powerful yet harsh,

Why you ask?

Afternoon is the time the predators feast,

And the time when prey run to the east.

They ray now seems active,

Is man so passive?

Passive as man maybe but more ignorant are they!


The ground seems like a frying pan,

A pan that cools ever so slowly.

Waiting is all that is done by man,

The barred clouds unfold ever so slowly,

Giving one golden ray of sunshine.

A blinding light appearing in a glamorous fashion.

A ray temporary yet pleasing.

A ray fading into a darkness,

A darkness deeper than an abyss.

The light dying to bring upon darkness,

A light further killing the soft dying day 

    and bringing the wrath of night.


Nightfall has arrived,

This is the time nothing but darkness thrives.

The moon lies fast asleep,

 Hoping to wake without a child's weep.

The clouds leaving no gap for light,

Leaving man with a affright.

Leaving him with nightmares,

Leaving him in debt to reaper's fares.

The reaper comes at the toll of the grandfather clock,

Resonating fear in ever rock,

Guffawing through the night and dancing with man's urn!

These Times

 These Times Everyday I wake up to the same sound, This alarm of mine that has me bound, Bound to a place to go, Where people 'grow'! These people are there at the same time not, They have come to get their lot. These people don't want to come, Yet they come and sit numb. Online school this place is, A place where nothing ever goes amiss. A place where knowledge is bliss, A place that is now that is hard to miss. This is almost like a land of magic, It transports peoples essence if not their logic. A place the virus is not considered a hoax, A place where the sun sails and moon walks. "Both read the bible day and night, One sees black while I see white." This new life is a bane and boon, It is like a sky without a moon. My gaze now travels to the window, I see a willow, A willow lush with water droplets, A willow who can rise higher than a thousand goblets.

Pain Behind the Red Curtain

 Pain Behind the Red Curtain The happiness of the innocent child, Is very scarce and mild. The promised golden youth, wasted, For now pain they have tasted. Staring lifelessly at the evil screen, Destroying their hope and dream. What choice do they have but to scream, In agony and loneliness? They have no choice but to see what they lacked, Their will is crushed and brains hacked. The abyss of loneliness grows fast, Soon another ship shows its mast. A sign of hope from afar! Loneliness now begins to scar. The one and only true rival of loneliness, The answer is love with all fairness. Love burns like a flame, It can warm you or burn you. Pride is forgotten and sets in truth and shame. Oh, what a malicious game. Bit by bit love takes you over, Making you none less than a deplorable drover. Pushing you down the abyss even further, And now the retribution arrives much sooner. A devil does not dress as the prince of hell, It dresses as everything you ever wanted. The devil pushes you d...
