Discovering Shapes

Picture: Rushikonda Beach, Vizag, India, October, 2017 Each new day as it seems to me Is full of questions, old and hackneyed. No answers to these questions, I seek Lost is the reason and sadness they creep. Gleam of my eyes Is the happiness that belongs to thee!! Delving into the truth, I find some residing in me. Placing no credence In the wonders it can do I debunk it And lose all the glee. Underrating what the time holds for me, I underestimate myself and the ones close to me. Nowhere will it lead me, Is the truth that’s not unknown to me!! Denouement is known To not just one but all who stand by me. Overlooking all I can see, I move on stubbornly. Falling on me is the burden of me, But not this time at fault is me, New to me as it is to thee, It is someone unknown in me. -- Akriti ( Date: 18th Sept, 08 ) Copyright © 2017. All Rights Reserved

Picture: Faro Beach, Capri, Italy, July, 2018 There is so much my heart still holds, So much my mind still speaks, So much, that I wish to go back, Go back in time To get back the strength I lost To realize the worth I hold To achieve what I deserve the most And perfect the desires that my heart still holds… There is so much my heart still holds, So much my mind still speaks, So much, that I can embrace it all, Embrace all that is put by me Spread the good accounted to thee Undo the wrongs that burden me And relieve the soul off, from the grievances that my heart still holds… There is so much my heart still holds, So much my mind still speaks, So much, that I can build a life, A life that will suffice To all the dreams my eyes have ever seen To all the memories that have never been To all the relations that truly mean And to all fantasies that my heart still holds… -- Akriti (Date: Sometime in 2014)  ...
