“Pahalgam Attack-The Tribute”

The tourists enjoyed the beauty of the spots,
By moving to Baisran valley on the horse back.
Suddenly they heard the sounds of gun shots,
They couldn’t understand, it was the terror attack
The Husband was shot dead in front of his wife,
She cried and begged for his life.
Nobody there who listened to her prayer,
The blood and blood was everywhere.
They were newly married six days ago,
But lost everything in a single go
She sat silent beside her beloved’s dead body,
That wrenched the heart of everybody.
Nobody stopped the tears from their eyes,
On seeing her bangles, vermilion and wet eyes.
It was a gruesome attack, it was really shameful,
It was a cowardly attack, it was really painful.
It was condemned across the globe,
We will definitely go for a probe.
The loss they had will not be repaired,
But those who are involved shall not be spared.

Innocent Butterflies

 

Radiant butterflies danced in the amber light,
till a sudden black wind tore through the hush of the meadow.
Their delicate wings, once full of grace,
now trembled near coffins cradled along the barbed wire-
where even death dared to sigh with a semblance of beauty.
Across the vast march of centuries,
those innocent butterflies sought footsteps
etched not in dust, but in the edge of daggers-
a truth cut from time itself.
The wings of broken relationships flutter within the heart,
aching with unspoken farewells.
Yet the stubborn fire of love,
resilient and untamed,
burns on like a solitary platue beneath the cold sky.

RAINBOW

 

A colorful rainbow in the sky
Looks like it tells me to once try
To fly
And slide by
The colours of the rainbow
I do surely know
Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green Yellow all in a row,
Orange and red together they flow
Whenever I feel sad, it always has a smile to show.
I wish if the rainbow was always there
To the sun and the moon, it wouldn’t be fair
But I do not care
I love the rainbow because of the happiness it does share
The excitement of seeing the rainbow I can’t bear.
