If I had wings,
I would have flown
to different places,
crossed the oceans
to meet different people
and listen to their stories.
But sadly, I don't have them,
so I will stand on my toes
to pick a book from the shelves
and immerse myself in it,
in the tales of dragons and kings.

And voilà! My mind will sprout two wings!

Can you tell when a fish is happy?
How do you know when a snake gets snappy?
When monkeys chatter and whales sing
Are they trying to tell us something?

LULLABY FROM PARADISE


It's time to snuggle under the blanket, baby.
And listen to a little bedtime story, maybe.

Years ago, a rare and beautiful jasmine bloomed in hills.
It caught the attention of kings and their drills.

The two kings began fighting for its flowers
But stopped the river flow and killed the lovers.

For all they wanted were flowers and not roots.
They slashed the dolls, and robbed the fruits.

Soon the jasmine tree shrivelled and withered
Around it the wolves cried and snakes slithered

But when a kid like you helps others in need
Hush! The jasmine tree blossoms again indeed.

Child, whisper to the children far and near
That scent of jasmine is still here, still here.

What if?

What if black hole was a mouth of a space
And mountains were pimples on earth's face?
Then my science teacher would lose her post
And I would be happier than the most.

HAVE YOU SEEN A FAIRY?

The cloud of imagination
Passed by me tonight.
I asked for a fairy,
A rabbit and eagle's sight.

But the rabbit gulped my beautiful fairy
and is now pale yellow and very sick.
All I am left with is eagle's eyes.
So tell me where would I find my fairy real quick.

They say you have to smile
Even when the situation is grave
Buildings may break, bridges may burn
But you, child, have to be brave.

But I'm telling you it's perfectly alright
To cry when things don't go your way.
Even the sky sheds tears before blooming
Into a rainbow that is everything but grey.

Wearing white shirt and black goggles
Today, a ghost appeared near me
And booed at me out of nowhere
While I was studying for my degree.

I wish he was handsome but sadly he wasn't.
So I told him to look at slide on a bright day
But by seeing the swollen ghost cells in it
The poor ghost shrieked in fright and ran away.

Cunning like a cat
But no one likes
It's cliche jokes
'Cause once it gave
Crown to foolish folks.
Those folks killed
It's favorite cheetah
And currently, letter C
Is taking revenge with
Cureless virus corona
Which cuts the
Coronary vessels
And opens the
Corridor to coffin.
