Cyrus Gahatraj – XII 'D'
The lines on the map lack true meaning
They simply help to show nations gleaming
The roads we once thought to travel along
Now visited without opening doors proving us wrong
All the species in the world have the gift to grow
Yet the world itself sinks low and low
It's not that past and present, sizes are not the same
But only to say, the world feels small and tame
In a sense it transforms to a global village
The farthest place also becomes the nearest
The world now has become more daring
As untraveled roads are open for traveling
As time decreases, the world turns to a village
Yet I implore, don't confine it within a village
Ode to Daylight
I see all with light, yet it is concealed
Invisible itself, its wonder revealed
Look each face with a single view
No twins found in daylight hue.
Darkness hide many lies we can't see,
And light conceals it quite cleverly,
Not only in day does darkness depart,
Same vanish too, under the moonlight art.
I have seen colors surrounding our days,
Colors seem colorless without mighty rays,
Some colors come slow wile others rush,
Complexities are only seen in daylight.
Embrace me with light and let darkness dissolve,
Dreams born in shadows let blindness involve,
In my verse I will capture it gleam,
A longing to see all daylight beam.
Haiku
Boat in an ocean
Thirsty I, around water
But no, I can't drink
My Mind
My mind is like a raining cloud,
Whose water in a filled bowl.
My mind is like a lied stories,
Whose tales are made by imaginative glories.
My mind is like a forget soul,
That walks in a little river.
My mind is not only thought,
Because it is itself an influence people bought.
