Renu Rakheja a.k.a Tranquil Ocean Poems

You sing
I will be the mountain and hold your voice deep inside

You feel
...

Where a child lives in a warm mother's cocoon
Where a child is sold to the prostitutes, her life doomed
...

Today I dont want to close my eyes
My heart tells me that your image is going to fly
From the horizon of my heart to its beyond
I want to capture the image forever in the pond
...

Lost in the vortex of my thoughts
Seeking a vision that got lost
Fire consumed or a lost monsoon
Parched earth awaiting a boon
...

You would be meandering by
Wasting your while
This world is not worth living under the sky
If you havnt tasted your soul water
...

Knocking the doors
Of my senses
My heart soars....
...

Five years since you left us behind
Silent tears roll by as we remember
Reliving the anguish that you went through
Helpless we stood watching you valiantly suffer
...

Swinging his leg in a slow, sweeping arc
Children running behing him imitating his walk
Polio stricken right leg with paper skin on the bones
Some of them sniggering at him and pelting stones
...

Truth, The Real God
Not that we have made
Does not want a facade
Of the limited and narrow world that we parade
...

I am water
Sometimes solid...you can always depend on
Sometimes liquid...fits in anywhere
Sometimes vapor...ephemeral...I am there and then I am gone
...
