Locked Down Thoughts

Tears are very loyal
They never flow without your bid
Let them cascade
After-all, what’s their purpose
Inside those lids?

Tell the moon to sleep
For the morn has dawned.
Take rest and refresh
To rise, the next night again.

Anger is prodigal
It doesn’t heed your say
Wrap it in your arms
It does nothing
Except, alas, betray!

Other’s salary & own face
They say, we always rejoice
Better earn your own money
But with your face,
Do you really have a choice?

Remind the stones not to build
But lie by the riverbed.
Tell the mason not to laze
But, build the stones instead.

Dreams can be dangerous
Rather live in the now.
Although yesterday’s dream
May not be today’s realm
Life continues somehow!
