Poets plight

Poet I'm called My pen apparently bleeds 
It sneezes ink mixed with tears and screams.
Deceived by the dreams of past
I author what i saw
Illusive and but picturesque 
Word paintings i veneered
Real feelings unwritten 
Unheard unacknowledged.

Impossibility it is to 
Encapsulate the Beauty.
And  my pen fails me 
When I'm walking on sunshine.
 Expression seemed easier in doldrums 
Happiness feels contained n constrained
Unable to stick with word glue
Sanctity of love and its exuberance 
Is failing a poet to display it to 'him'
Him who sweeps me off my ground
Him who turns my day to night 
Him who shuts me with a pinch of kiss
Him who turns my world upside down
Him who makes me cry with laughs
Him who will be father of kids i might/cant bear 
Him who who breathes life into my lungs
Him whose heart is as pure as theres nothing  that I've ever heard or seen 
Him who would throw himself in front of a bus for me
Him who is so many things my words fall short of
Him whose picture il never be able to paint
For now I'm his and i have him by my side
Wont be ashamed if the poet in me died. 

To and fro

As kids we learned to cross our hearts
In order to prove a truth, as elders we learnt to raise our voice in order to make a truth.

As kids we learnt to cross our fingers everytime we lie , as elders we learnt to poker face commiting perjury.

As kids we spoke n thought less, cuz milk and candies satiated our needs, as elders our mind races and tongue blabs or fumbles , cuz the horizon is so unseen.

As kids our mothers would mean the world and rest were close kins, as elders we make friends and foes entering the chaotic élan. 

Looking back may seem easier 
But to head forward is what we do
Mousy and yellow
With mistakes at each veer
Fumbling and stumbling 
Trying the balance 
Backsliding to maintain
Turning the wheel 
Towards the unknown
Into a hazy sea .
