Heart says



HEART SAYS      By satya    pattnaik

I dribbled the time
Like foot ball
Without looking to the post
Did not listen to the world
Of my tears, even
Did not care for the destination
My heart beat fast and alarmed
Not to fly harsh
That the sky would break away
Into pieces
Clouds would forget to gather rain
Wings would get tight and freeze
Vision of light would deceive
Pages of life would remain blank
Hours would not count for your luck
Questions of life
Would remain unanswered
Impulses would get dry
Now the heart says
Just take a shelter in yourself
Gather love songs and tears
Cordon your thoughts
To germinate green eternal leaf
To count each day
Of your life with happiness
