Let me stay in my own cocoon

-

I Want to remain in cocoon
Cozy, comfortable, confined
Having wings is not secure always
Being butterfly isn't an easy task

Wandering here and there
Looking for the tranquillity
From one end to another
Travelling all through life….
Being butterfly isn't an easy task.

Wings that give freedom….
Freedom that comes with liability
Liability that demands charge
Charge that  steals the steel
Being butterfly isn't an easy task

Who want wings…that take me to the world
A world that’s demanding
A world that’s bewildering

Let me stay in my own cocoon
Being an ugly caterpillar is convincing
Handling beauty isn’t an easy task
Being able to fly isn’t an easy task

To dress up and fly.. yes I can see the advantage to be a lowly caterpillar.. I like the extended metaphor I think I read in your poem

Yes, flying isn't easy but it is something you can do. Do it well.

Friends are like memories

Friends are like memories Some good… some bad Some sweet…   some mad True you can choose them But it’s they who decide…. to stay or leave Friendships are like cyclic process You meet …you mingle You treat…you part No one is permanent No one is life long They keep coming and going Some come for a season Some come with a reason Remember…they are like memories In fact …with time, friends become memories You evolve… Your thought evolve… Your memories evolve Bad may become good Good may be become bad…. Seasons do change…reasons may differ Remember… Friends are friends forever Friends remain in memories forever For Poets United Poetry Pantry #293

Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din?????

-
Mukesh is my favorite singer. And when I am young….specially during teenage days I use to madly listen to his songs. There is a kind of magic in his voice with inexplicable sadness…. That use to take me altogether to a different world. There are n numbers of Mukesh songs….which I know by heart and can sing along! But this one is like the ultimate…..Jaane Kahan Gaye Woh Din! Whenever I listen… there will be definitely tears in my eyes…. by the time the song is complete! The voice, the lyrics and the music….no match at all! And today I don’t know why? after long... long... time I just felt like listening to it! All those …who are sensitive at heart can listen and enjoy! Kyonki…. ”Baadhe saukyamane bhaavana raanevoy! AA yeruke nischalaanandamoy…Brahamaanandamoy”! Learn Telugu if you want to follow it!
