The Emotion Trail...


Emotions as they say 
Are best seen as a way 
To feel something deep
Which otherwise bundles up in a heap...


The crinkle of the nose 
Is the cutest gesture
When a little girl teases
Her brother for a chocolate...


The wrinkles under the eyes 
Are felt to be beautiful 
When the laugh is from within
Rather than a compulsion...
But the same wrinkles 
Are feared by the beautiful
When she sees them as a threat
of her approaching old age ...


The blush of the cheeks 
Is an observer's delight
For there flows the joy
Which drenched the little boy...
But the same blush 
Is an embarrassment
Faced by the lad 
When he falls down in public...


The tears falling down 
From a sad father's eyes
Dedicate an ode
To the death of his son...
But the same tears 
Share the boundless joy
Of a mother
Holding her new-born....


The emotion trail
is full of strife
Which makes us realize
The essence of life...

  3. Very beautifully written demarcating the different perceptions of emotions.. I loved the last stanza especially. Will keep visiting :) and by no means it is a "chaotic" collection!
