Walk with Me

Published on by balroop singh25 Comments

I know this path too well
I’ve walked and crawled
I’ve been bruised
My bleeding feet ferret out thorns.

I refuse to retreat
My resolve stays firm
I am not taking any turns
I know nothing would change.

Let’s turn the page and write again
Let’s forget the past and embrace pain
If you walk with me
All chains fall apart.

Our fear of losing love is a lie
Our quest for peace is still alive
Shadows of doubt may lurk
Our promises extend beyond qualms.

Your love may have changed its connotation
My love carries the same formation
Time may have diluted its colors
Who can compete with this tyrant?

Literary Beetles

Sue Vincent’s #writephoto


Gold couldn’t lure us

We are literary beetles

We walk at will, making our own trail.


Destinations don’t hold us

We scatter words that shimmer

The sky is our canvas.


Our burrows are cavernous

We bury dreams in them

They reverberate ruefully.


We wait for wings

To excavate our aspirations

Of touching the horizon.


The path may be treacherous

Our feet may be feeble

Yet we walk undeterred

Impelled by each other’s whisper.

Could You Please Guide Me?

A long road…Empty!

 As I walk through the road

 Strange fears confuse me

 I stare into wilderness

 Straining my eyes,

 Full of expectations….

 I trudge on.

 Is this journey endless?

 Is there no destination?


I took this path

 I knew it was thorny

 I stumbled, I moved on…

 Enduring all the pricks, the pain

 Undeterred, hoping….

 We’ll surely meet…One day….

 You will recognize my face

 You will acknowledge my contribution

 You will welcome me to my destination.


I reached…I waited…

 When will I enter?

 I wondered…

 ‘Keep the baggage out!’

 I looked around

 ‘But I don’t have any!’

 Confounded, I looked around

 The door didn’t open.

 I waited………

 When will I enter?

 ‘Have patience’,

 A fleeting thought…


So I stood at His door.

 I looked around

 Why am I alone?

 I couldn’t find anyone familiar

 A sea of faces,

 A whirlpool…kept pulling me

 ‘Calm down’

 I told myself.

 Could you please guide me?

 I asked a stranger

 A smile, a pat…

 The only reassurance!

Path That Haunts

Path that haunts


Drifting in and out of dreams

 An alley…a pathway… a trail

 So familiar yet so confusing

 Always haunts…beckons to be followed.

  

 With eagerness to explore it

 Often tracked in dreams, deep down

 It stirs the soul, irks the mind, entreats it

 To walk the alley once more!

  

 Could this unlock the secrets?

 Could it put in perspective the missing links

 Of a troubled, tempestuous life

 That has been revealed through bizarre dreams?

  

 Yet the trail is obscure, the quest to embark

 Unfulfilled, looking for that alley… futile!

 Meaningless search follows…

 Were there wrong turnings?

  

 Is it spiritual awakening?
