The Stuff........

of dreams
      and the odd nightmare,
the stuff that makes the skies bluer
          and the clouds greyer,
the stuff of elixirs
     and  slow poisons,
the stuff that drives you to distraction
         but brings focus to many a lost cause,
the stuff that intoxicates
      and yet rejuvenates,
the stuff that makes you a fool
     but leaves you with wisdoms untold,
the stuff that tugs at the heart
         and yet smashes it to smithereens,
forget logic , this stuff apparently makes the world go around,
defies 20 - 20 vision,
famously addictive stuff,
notoriously deceptive stuff.......
what else? but that four letter stuff called Love.

Grey Skies by Varun

Ugly dark frail sky,
Kiss the hope,happiness and the summer goodbye,
miserably, spitting, dull rain,
forlornly, drifting, pale, puddles down the drain,
gloomily,huddling people,
lifelessly swaying sad leaves,
stiffly swaying abandoned trees,
gusting winds makes shivering knees,
the standing deserted green fence,
no cheerful faces on the cold chocolate brown bench,
dry standing trees all frail,
black birds on the dull silver rail,
sad reflections in the grim puddles,
abandoned bike rack steeped in rain,
rain pouring on the glum umbrellas,
all warmth ,sun and happiness gone.
