Tea tales

As I sat sipping my cup of tea,
I wondered if others managed to see
My unshed tears my frustrated rants
My unfulfilled dreams my myriad wants

My cup of tea smiled up at me
And told me to make my mind free
It matters not what others see or hear,
For every thing, which I ever hold dear
Is dear only and only to me
Not to friends and all and sundry

Let go of the crazy , mad thoughts
The could have beens and the have nots
The universe is big and karma is sound
Remember what goes around , comes around.

Sunny thoughts

The wintry sun raised his sleepy head
" Has the silly chilly breeze reached here yet ?
Do I have to dry the grass myself? Again ?
I can see that it is still rather wet...

Oh No ! This lazy breezy girl
Wonder when she will learn to be on time
I am sure she is out flirting again
Rustling the leaves of that cheeky lime

I am tired of playing bff to her
She has me stuck in the friend-zone
I think I'd rather charm the Sunflower
Her petals these days are a lovely tone

But, years during the Christmas days
When I throw over the cloud blanket to peek
The silly chilly breeze has my heart wrapped
Her naughty whistle makes my rays weak

One sided love is a tough nut to crack.
Oh dear, will she ever ever be mine ?
Will the earth​ guys , seeing us together,
Ever ever comment that the weather is fine ???

OFBE

I stood outside my body
Ravaged, old, much before time
Wondering what the hell happened ?

My silent screams reached nobody
The pain was poignant but sublime
On realising the scars that time had deepened

I stood with my soul in my hand
Rattling it around for a smile
None of the usual tricks worked anymore

I fervently wished for someone to understand
To hold my hand and walk the mile
To make my heart complete like before.....

Seven Granted

The seven tender rings
Dispelling all fear/
The seven tender steps
Holding you dear

Assertion and dissent
Shown by moving around/
My love and respect
Showing emotions abound

The seven tender bones
Holding the head alight/
The seven life long vows
Held true against all despite

The seven tender bones
Taken for granted/
The seven life long vows
Leaving much wanted

The inflamed neck
The painful stance/
The hurting heart
An emotional dance

How tightly wound
The power of seven
Holds me in it's grasp
Breathing uneven....

The silent cry of pain
The hidden tears
The seven tender bones
Can't no longer dispel fears.....
