FOREWORD

Poetry is the expression of the heart. These are words which reflect
multiple emotions- their vagaries, their nuances and their subtleties.

Each experience is the spring of a fresh burst of ideas. From each


experience spring myriad thoughts that engage the mind and coerce that
heart to pen down a string of words.

My journey into poetry started two years back when I was in Grade 9
at Shiv Nadar School Noida. Ever since, I have loved writing poetry. It has
been my dream to get my poems and stories published. I hope my poems
bring a smile on the face of the readers.
LOVE YOU MOM

MY BEST FRIEND

Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash

She has twinkling eyes,

She has a tiny nose.

She wears a necklace

And loves to shop

She is fond of eating

And is always busy in a meeting

She is peaceful, she is blissful

8
Rahul Suri

She is an apple of my eye

I love her so much

She is the only one

My best friend

She helps me whenever I need her help

She saves me when I am in danger

She shares with me, she cares for me

She is the only one of my best friend

FRUIT KINGDOM

Photo by Dane Deaner on Unsplash

Yellow Mango is their king,

Who always sits on a swing.

Violet Grapes the chief minister,

Orange her sister.

Jackfruit, Pear, Strawberry,

Pineapple, Papaya, Blackberry.

All live in freedom.

In the fruits kingdom.


10
Rahul Suri

Banana-an attendant

To The Queen who wears a Pendant.

Guava, Cheery, and Apple,

Protect the fruits kith and kin

Together they all stay,

Happy and Gay.

Lives of humankind,

It depends on the fruit of all kinds.

Body’s vitamin and mineral needs,

Are met from fruits' flesh and seeds.

FRIENDSHIP

Photo by Harli Marten on Unsplash

Long, long ago I sailed in a ship,

A ship of friendship.

Everyone was happy in here

Joy, cheerfulness, and happiness were there.

We together sailed through the storm

Of doubts and disbelief

But we together held a hand in hand

12
Rahul Suri

And withstood the storm

But when years passed,

I was isolated from the ship of friendship

So I sailed alone

Suddenly I remembered my past,

Soon I realized the consequences

I have to face

A wild wind blew and a storm came

I fell to the edge of my ship.

Another sailor who passed nearby

Held my hand and rescued me,

Again from the storm of wry and distress

But I realized that friendship is

Far more superior than loneliness.

FIRST RAIN

Photo by Erik Witsoe on Unsplash

It became dark as if it was evening

Wind had started to blow

Singers of nature had already

Started their ballad

Birds returned to their nests early

Everybody’s eyes filled with expectation

It came with a bolt of lightning and thunder


14
Rahul Suri

The first drop,

The starting of a heavy downpour,

The tunes of the soul danced,

As the rain sang.

The fascinating scent of the earth,

Filled the environment.

Nature overwhelmed and the first

Rain filled!

The heart of the people with new

Hopes…

Was covered once again,

With the first drop of thy precious shower,

Giving life to the world !!!

NOT EVERYTHING IS LOCKED DOWN

The Sun rises from East

it sets in the west

Seasons remain unchanged

The moon has been brighter

The Air is getting cleaner

Air is getting cleaner

Each family is getting united

16
Rahul Suri

Relationships are improving

Love is in the air

We relax, we talk

Learning is not in lockdown

Music is created

A new song is sung

Devotion is more

People getting wiser

Yoga practice is given more time

Exercise is done in different forms

Zumba is in fashion

So lockdown the COVID 19

Stay at home

There are a lot of things to do so yes to Lockdown

COCO - MY PET

Photo by Jamie Street on Unsplash

His big eyes are searchlights

His tail's a propeller

His growl is an engine

He's a good little fellow

His teeth are daggers

His nose is a sponge

18
Rahul Suri

His tongue is a slice of ham

He's ready to lunge

His fur is a blanket

His legs are sticks

His claws are needles

He can do some cool tricks

His bark is the lightening

His howl is the thunder

But what is it like

To be a dog I wonder

A VISIT FROM MY GRANDMA


(My Grandmother may not be the normal stereotype
grandmother)

Photo by Clément Falize on Unsplash

She's not that old and gives me one idea after another

She looks healthy and her appetite's good

I don't think my grandmother sounds like yours would

Once in a while she comes and visits

My favorite time of the year is then

20
Rahul Suri

We stock up the kitchen and ever more than the house

And oh dear she will not stand a mouse!

My grandmother isn't scared of anything

Bugs and bats can come and go and the bees can sting

But I really am at a loss when she goes

My heartbeat slows

But oh ! she'll come again

LION'S ROAR

Photo by Adam Bignell on Unsplash

In the jungle, a lion's roar

Loud, rumbling from his core

A magnificent, mane of golden brown

He is the king but wears no crown

Predator and enemy, they have two

22
Rahul Suri

Human hunters and hyenas too.

The lion and his lioness of the pride

If you cross, they do not hide

The lion's roar is his symbol of strength

Of leadership and of his pride

Every animal bows to him

To his call, they all abide!

Be safe from Corona

Be safe in your house

Be in social Distance

Corona is a disease

We need to fight with Corona

Corona can kill us

Corona makes us sick

Corona is a virus we cannot see

Corona is a killer

We need to kill.

MOUNTAIN POEM

She was the mountains

And he was the sea

She was stable

He was unpredictable

She was understanding

He was dangerous

She was scared

He was carefree

They were both so far from perfect

But perfect for each other

A SOULMATE IN A STRANGER

Photo by Alex Iby on Unsplash

As I couldn't find that special lover

Then I met you one summer

For hours we sat and talked to each other

Like old friends we were, I remember

Funny that I could find a soul mate in a stranger

I knew then I have found the perfect partner


28
Rahul Suri

Someone I could love and cherish forever

Now, my love has only grown deeper

And life with you has never been sweeter

Before I was a loner

Always brooding in my own shelter

Thought love would never stop by never

WHEN I'M GONE

Photo by on Unsplash

When I come to the end of my Journey

And I travel my last weary mile

Just Forget if you can, that I ever frowned

And remember only the Smile

Forget unkind words I have spoken

Remember some good I have done

Forget that I ever had a headache


30
Rahul Suri

And remember I've had loads Fun

Forget that I have stumbled and blundered

And sometimes fell by the way

Remember I have fought

Some hard battles and won

Ere the close of the day

Then forget to grieve for my going

I would not have you sad for a day

But in summer just gather some flow

And remember the place where I lay

And, come in the evening

When the sun paints the sky in the west

Stand for a few moments beside me

And remember only my best

THE EYES OF HEAVEN

Photo by Nghia Le on Unsplash

Full of glance with universal glory,

Mountain-high held with sanctum's melody,

I'm filled with Melody's serenity,

While the creatures running disparately,

With flora's fragrance and fauna's sorrows,

Blessings of heaven with hell's debris,

32
Rahul Suri

Gifts of life with death's attire,

Dance of baby with old's sapphire,

Gems of snake with poisonous bites,

Silence truth with barking sorrows,

All combined a path serpentine,

Destination unknown on dark hemisphere,

No one knows called divine exclamation,

Whosoever has explain pronunciations,

Whosoever has explain pronunciations,

All's are running with sorrow's explanation,

Blaming own-self some times to others,

No one stay to examine frustration,

All's in dreams or alive in trance,

O You Men;

It's Dreams not pranks,

World within rest on divine slumber,

Dreams of divine manuscripts,

Will of Almighty with life and death,

To achieve emancipation,

33
The Sound of Words

Or Your will of salvation,

It's not a duty or right's frustration,

Accept with humbleness,

Bend with gratitude,

It's not your creation,

Don't be lord of your own-self,

Stay and calm lost all debris around,

Close your eyes,

Open the gate of lights,

See yourself furnish your clay,

Embrace your beauty,

Thanks, divine charm,

Don't punish yourself,

Clean your attires,

Thanks, your being,

With humble gratitude,

Oh She is....!

She just hold me turned me behind,

What are you saying,

34
Rahul Suri

Whom are you saying,

Do you not know,

No one ready to listen to your voice,

Even no one can see your presence,

All's blind running in a trance,

Left this thoughts left all burden,

Now sleep a while,

My lap is hungry,

Aah,

She forcibly lay down,

On Stone-bed at a crematory,

Hold my head on Her lap,

Close my eyes with Her palm,

I'm slowly getting full of silence,

She just singing a song of shrine,

I'm getting lost my all of essence,

She is smiling,

Secrets hold!

FOR A CAUSE

Photo by Tengyart on Unsplash

A date with self, no one else

Several times on personal notes

Used and abused by the emotions

While acting so-called social-animal

Several times trolled breaking down

Where every move mattered-

36
Rahul Suri

Making marks in various show-events

Winning accolades from all around

Being the best version of the times

Just, making it happen calm and cool

To see and visualize coming to fruition

Minding own moods and business

Talking about my own career graph

In conversation with a common man

Finding solutions being elder-figure

Of relations and emotions thereof

Getting mentally mature and strong

Communicating the message of hope

With courage, strength, love, and care

Inspiring the child within me for a cause!

LIKE ANTS

Photo by Gabriel Manlake on Unsplash

Here are a million thoughts in my head

Like ants,

They swarm my mind

Crawl all over it

Leave beneath their million tiny legs

A true mess

38
Rahul Suri

One comes

Bumps into ten others

Disrupts them

Which further disrupt a hundred more

And it never ends

They're suffocating me

There is so much darkness

The absence of light

I feel trapped

Buzz buzz buzz

My head feels heavy

They won't stop humming

It hurts physically

So much noise.

What is silence?

For once, leave me alone

Let me slide into the bliss of sugary oblivion

39
The Sound of Words

I would choose the absence of knowledge

Rather than have it

along with its terrible darkness

So much darkness

So much unhappiness

I'm drowning

I'm lost

Please stop troubling me

Go away

These thoughts

Millions, billions, trillions, zillions

Infinite

Like ants

They've made their nest here

And they keep coming

They might just run out of space...

I can't.

REJECTION

Photo by Henrikke Due on Unsplash

I once saw a girl behind the counter

And what I saw was truly mesmerizing.

I ran home and called my best friend who was known for his
advice,

I told him everything and what I really desired.

We spoke for hours creating plans for my next move,

Oh, how we planned for hours and decided to confront her head-
on,

41
The Sound of Words

I went ahead and waited in the line of lovers,

I was excited yet terrified of the outcome

Would I get what I desired or would I be forced to face the


rejection?

My head was clouded with my thoughts and doubts,

And before I knew it, my turn had come,

I looked at her and with all my courage told her what I wanted,

With a pitiful smile, she said

The very words I dreaded,

“Sorry, not this time kid”.

I was once passing by a window and saw a beautiful

girl behind the counter. In front of her, there was a

line of lovers. This is a poem about my first rejection

and how I dealt with it.

Once again we planned and with a foolish grin, I stood in the line
of lovers.

My turn arrived faster that day,

And just like this poem’s rhyme,

I was rather bad at expressing my feelings for the second time.

However, courage prevailed and I told her what I wanted

42
Rahul Suri

And this time, she smiled happily,

She finally handed me my true love; a burger, onion rings and


some

SPARE ME

Photo by Goeruh Ary on Unsplash

The white noise

Blinding,

Binding us

To its unbearable heat.

It's waiting,

Waiting to disperse,

Refract rainbows-

44
Rahul Suri

Into a thousand words.

We wear wings

Yet we laugh at its thirst;

For the best monsters

The limit is the sky.

But you

Are the truest of them

All.

Spreading your wings

Leaping

Shooting at me

Making me float

White noise for you

Who’s thirst,

You quenched,

With forever.

Simply,

Empty promises;

Devouring me whole.

45
The Sound of Words

Those dreams of fantasy

Were left-

Reckless abandonment,

With hunger

Dancing in its eyes

For that sardonic art

Only is appreciated by

Pain.

Such immense pain-

That the halo cannot

Conquer,

That cannot be caught

In the fisherman's net.

It sprouts out of me

Like a plant that you've

Sown

Who’s not getting enough

Water-

46
Rahul Suri

Like any creature

Surviving-

It has to kill one

For the other to live.

So, spare me,

Your gracious,

For I'm no white light.

I dwell in this broken bulb

That only emits warmth

That will condense you

Into a shapeless being,

For love has no shape;

Nor does hate.

I HAVE FORGOTTEN

Photo by Ashraful Haque Akash on Unsplash

I have forgotten.

Forgotten the way the sunlight seemed

Forgotten the way the sunlight seemed magical.

Forgotten the time nature was extravagant.

Forgotten when life itself had another definition

I would sit at the edge of the water,

Watch the sun as it fell to meet the horizon.


48
Rahul Suri

I would watch the red swirl into the clouds.

I would wait for the purple to merge into the picture.

And I would sit there every day and try to define that beauty..

But then I didn’t…

I felt the water, I left the sky.

I stopped believing it was special and turned my back.

But I didn’t realize,

Nothing is special.

It's only so if you believe it to be.

So, take that cold hard heart and put it in your palm.

Let people put their own colour in your life.

And soon enough, you’ll have the brightest heart alive.

Bring back the musty old paper,

Gently turn the page.

It’ll feel as light as a feather.

So, treat it like water or it’ll crumble like ashes.

See the beauty. Beauty in rust, beauty in dust, beauty in moss,

49
The Sound of Words

Beauty in wrinkles, beauty in faded jeans, beauty in old leather,

Beauty in memories and I’ll promise you.

You’ll see the happiness in life.

SOUND OF SILENCE

The Dark night is quite

There is silence all around

Not a single sound

And then it's appears right behind me

It's eyes bright

It's eyes menacing


51
The Sound of Words

It's jury paws create nothing but silence

Its breath is soft and select

It stalks with silence

Terrifying sounds of Silence

Should I run?

Should I scream?

The eyes bore into me

It's coming closer

I shut my eyes

I scream

Breaking the sound of Silence

The four eyes neosh monster edges away

Now the sound of Silence are back again.

FAILURE

Failure does not been that a person fails in life

It means they are yet to succeed

It's is that they are weak in

The particular field like studies

Failure gives hope as the window to success

When we get fewer marks in education system

We feel sad and cry when dejected

55
The Sound of Words

When someone teases others then

We feel so sad and dejected

To know it's my opportunity

To feel alive when it doesn't kill me

If I succeeded tomorrow, well,

Never will I fail again

THE SECRET

This is an inspiration Stories.....

The Secrets

The secret love in my life created a history

The sculpture-like beauty in you is still a mystery

Your jasmine-like smiles made me adore you more secretly.

57
The Sound of Words

My secret glances at you made me feel more inquisitive.

An irresistible feeling, that leads my eyes towards your glittering


nose stud.

I found a streak of lightning in your eyes narrating stories.

I realized that shining is the reflections of your Rosy lips.

You smiled the first time for me when I glanced at your pouting
lips.

The cool breeze made your hair fly like a dark cloud whispering
silently .

The whispers are the secret sweet nothings between you and me,

The sweet nothings forever are the secret memories in my heart.

WAR AND PEACE

Photo by Timon Studler on Unsplash

Let not the flowers bloom

Let not the birds sing

Let not the fruit ripen

Let them not feel the sting

For the world is no longer what it used to be

59
The Sound of Words

No more love, friendship or harmony

No co-existence, concord or Peace

No more does the fire cease

Only the thunder of the ATM

Only the spillage of blood

Everywhere there is the only harm

The unrest and the thud

We no longer feel the brotherhood

We no longer see the good

No more do we perceive the calm

No longer is peace a balm

To heal the wounds of the past

Amity is nonexistent

Friendship doesn't ring a bell

How we all wept and shrieked

The day peace fell

But even in the darkest of dungeons

And the dreariest of lands

60
Rahul Suri

There is always a glimmer of hope

That can turn the times and sands

All its takes is a spark, a stir, a trigger

Anything to make this World understand

That we each need to lend a hand

Restore all that is good and pure

Plant seeds of Amity and goodwill

Do things worthy of Folklore

And bring this War to an eternal standstill

Peace is the road that leads to all things great

It brings no grief, it brings no harm

Follow this path and witness war abate

Waste no time, sound the alarm

The air to be fragrant with armistice and reconciliation

So let the flowers bloom

Let the bird sing

Let the fruit ripen

Let the world with peace ring.

It sped and pushed against

The beauty of the Blue water

We smiled and laughed

We screamed in joy

Our hands washed in bubbles

The mountains all around

Seemed to join in the fun and joy danced

Along with the Gentle

You tell me that you are there for a child

But then you callously pull away from me every time

Or clouds and stars.

Something just dwell in hell,

While the demon counts down your hours.

You don't even know just yet,

How bad the world can be.

Because when I look to the horizon,

There's only so far I can see.

There's a hell which surrounds me

And the demon is my soul.

You think the flames are bearable,

But trust me,

They tear you apart.

As I write this letter from hell,

There’s a lot I try to impart.

You don't even know just yet,

How bad this world can be.

Because when I look up,

There's only more fire that I can see.

The soldier has a daughter

He hasn’t seen her in five years

And he craves a glance of her face

Even he has a heart

70
Rahul Suri

And it’s not hollow

But he is braver than a lion

Because he neglects his desire

And fights for the nation.

He is on the border day and night

For his motherland, he fights

He will sacrifice his life,

For prosperity’s profit

And tonight, a child will have a peaceful sleep

Because the soldier is a symbolic shield

He keeps us safe like a father

He is on duty, so the people don’t have to bother

When I reach home I try to trace the amazing place

Paper is my love

Sketchbooks are my grace

I have a hundred to fill the colors and replace

When I grow old

I only have one dream to fulfill In a large art gallery place.

Seeing my paintings

In a large art gallery place.

MY LONELINESS IN A PALACE

Photo by Thomas de LUZE on Unsplash

I stand alone looking outside

In a palace of my own

Where no one lives.

No one visits

Just lonely me looking afar

The sun is bright But no birds I can see

My world is just blank

In this beautiful palace I want to run out wild


74
Rahul Suri

Climbing trees and chasing butterflies And fall in love with a


common man

With just two meals a day And a bed to sleep on

With his heartfelt of love

For me!

With lots of comforts and no one to love!

I am stuck to this palace and comforts and loneliness

Killing me slowly!

Let me run through the woods barefoot and eat spicy street foods

To enjoy a common man's life

I don't want these lace curtains

And silken quilts

I want to feel what is love

With a common man

Lying next to him

Eating simple food

Looking at the moving clouds

And sparkling stars

Walking under the beautiful twilight!

ODE TO SUMMER

Photo by Ethan Robertson on Unsplash

This is for the sweet summers breeze which blows.

Embracing me with pleasure and stealing away my sorrow.

For all those beautiful, doves, robins and even the crows.

Which I may not be able to see from tomorrow.

For the gracious green grass beneath my feet,

And for the circling eagles screeching in the sky.

For the twirling leaf which falls down in the heat,

76
Rahul Suri

And the kid who runs to make his kite fly.

For the cuckoo which sings,

The most mesmerizing melody I've ever heard.

For the ladybug who flaps her wings,

To catch the wind and fly amongst the birds.

For the vast blue sky which sets me free,

And the summer showers which make peacocks dance,

For clouds which appear to be boats adrift at sea,

And the naughty squirrels playing tag in the branch.

But all good things must come to an end.

And tomorrow's the day when I must part

With all the good things that call me a friend

As tomorrow's the day that schools start.

The last day of the sweet summer,

And I can already see the clouds closing in.

Why can't monsoon be a late-comer?

Why must I part with my beloved kin!

HORIZON

Every day we awaken to the sunrise in the morning

Its hues have a bright shine

It has orange and yellow shades

Bright Colours spread towards the clouds

The stars have left the sky

Dark clouds are but a memory

Rahul Suri

The moon is a receding shadow

Our souls remains in my body

To believing we could last

Longer than it will

But we are finishing auras

We are foolish auras

We crave the moment now

Whether it is the sun or stars

Night has the darkness of terrible tones

Its looks like horror scene

Yet retaining the Beauty of nature

Its looks like souls goes up

There is a strange humour

Days are bright and sunny

Sounds of fresh water go tinkling by you

The trees exalt in their dance

The Sound of Words

As plants rise to a crescendo

Birds are twittering and chirruping

The Horizon is always happy and full of love

I LOVE MY MOTHER

When the first tears parted from my eyes

And the air was filled with my cries

Tears would’ve trickled down

Her cheeks too, to meet smiling lips...

Shattered souls have endless tears

81
The Sound of Words

And there are smiles for those full of cheer

Two extremes, but when together,

Make the sweetest couple ever

As these came together, on her

Face most gorgeous ever

She would’ve looked prettier,

I wonder!

My little hands she would’ve held then

With warmth that felt like heaven

She would’ve lifted me with care

And brought me close to her heart

So much love that none

But she could have for me

A beat her heart would’ve missed

When her skin, my breath would’ve kissed

I wonder!

Sleepless nights would’ve become routine

To keep me happily sleeping and ‘clean’

For which she surely never regretted

82
Rahul Suri

As her love was selfless and divine

Perhaps she would’ve loved to stay awake

To see me smile in sleep

I wonder!

Years flew past, I realized her worth

She was the one who taught me to live

If at all I had forever kept

The innocent promise of not hurting her

I wonder!

As I grew up, things quite changed

Annoyance and evil looks now I gave her

Instead of those warm hugs which I used to foster

But she never failed to understand

I was young, my soul easy to soil.

Why didn’t I thank her as she brought

Me back to track as I lost my way,

I wonder!

But when I now sit quietly with closed eyes,

Glimpses of her love and care always pass by

83
The Sound of Words

I had changed, so had my ways

I forgot my ‘soul’ in life’s race.

The tide of time didn’t take over her

Because her love was evergreen

Because she was my MOTHER.

Her touch still as warm as on the first day,

Her love still as selfless

I would like to confess

Though expressions have changed

I love you no less!

Your sweet smile still is the most gorgeous thing

And your hugs still arouse most precious feelings

Your caring looks do always cure

My illness halfway, for sure!

On this Mother's day, I promise,

I'll fill your life with bliss

I also won't regret a bit

YOU as my world and fill it with glee!

LOVE YOU THE MOST MUMMY!!
