The Cactus

Seeded by a drop, 

I grew with the slightest sight of moisture, 

Preserving droplets like it were a nectar of immortality.

As the originator of light gave me my undivided attention,

I was deserted by humans,

Protected by thorns.

I prick people who don't notice and hurt to make them notice.

I lay rooted in gravels of sand shifting from hither to thither, 

Without a place of my own,

Rarely uprooted, never firmly rooted,

The rain to me a mirage, 

And the desert, my own garage. 

Heat is my unborn twin, with me to my end. 

The only person who dawns on me is celestial,

The only beauty I've known is the moonlight.

I rarely witness life,

As I'm unfettered by the living, 

While Independently living.

Deserted mostly on desert,

And averted by vision. 

I am the Cactus,

The sole survivor for ages, 

With a life that no one gauges.

Love

Feeling elated to heaven,

Dancing onto her heart,

Feeling her heart crumble into my hands,

Flattered by my charm,                       

Invigorating her senses,

Reinventing chutzpah,

To her soberness.

And inventing direction,

To my wilderness.

 She’s now strapped on to the tunes of my heart,

For she’s found love and I’ve found life.

Life that I felt leaving,

And Love that she’s been searching.

Our eyes meet,

And the search ends,

With our hearts rejoicing in unison.

Fortunate are the souls that could love,

For love is a saviour,

A saviour of Mankind.

For it instils hope,

In life from which one would want to elope.

Reverential dreams

Dreams that follow materiality,
Eyes that long for a glance at a celebrity, Celebrities that long for a commoners life,
Gods wishing for mortality,
Humans wishing for immortality.
A scientist longing to dance,
A dancer longing for the intellect of the former.
An intellectuals sense of humour,
A humorist's analogy of intellectuality.
A comic who desires to be taken seriously,
The serious waiting to smile.
An actors take on reality,
A commoners dream of celluloid.
A bed of roses for a hard-worker,
Herculean effort for a lotus eater.
A holiday for a student,
Desire to read for an illiterate.
Paucity of time in dying moments,
Abundance of time spent in lassitude.
The thinking that makes one contrast and suffer in thoughts, compare and toil, not realising that the other side of the coin that you have not, is what is the life bestowed upon you, orchestrated by the creator to balance the desires, while the haves and the have nots in thought come together in this melancholy of life.
