Poesy
When you are near:
I am on cloud nine
thinking of you
I imagine your sweet smile
and rosy cheeks too.
Can’t get you off my mind
just want to have you here
I’m the happiest
when you are near.

Winter’s day:
A freezing morning
Shivering with cold
I wash my face with icy cold water
Even my heart starts
to flutter.
Studying alone while others sleep on
I feel sad and want
to weep.
But with a hot breakfast
I feel warm and cozy
Like I am in heaven.
Getting dressed, reaching bus stop at eight
Is what I totally hate
As it is colder outside
And the dry leaves fall
by my side.
On the I go to school
I feel like I’m drowning in the icy pool
I can’t concentrate well due to the cold
And it appears like I
am in hell.
My hands shake; I
cannot write
It is very dark as there’s no sunlight
My body shivers
I have a headache
At lunch break I see
the sun
Feeling very happy,
out I run
But in minute’s the
sun’s gone
As fast as a shooting gun.
Once again the leaves start to fall
The fierce wind
starts to call
Pulling close my blazer
Back to class I
start to run.
After classes, I
return home
Even a five-minute journey seems very long
Reaching home,
I heave a sigh
I’ve gotten through yet another winter’s day.

Wake up:
Hey man! If you wish
You can run the world
To serve your nation
You can earn the gold.
Throw away your
laziness
Take steps towards
success
Be quick, don’t get left behind
Then a goal you will find.
Time and tide waits for none
A blink of an eye and chance gone
So respect and
follow time
You will find that
everything’s fine.
