The Edge

The Edge- Nikita Sara

The edge...

like a seductress, tempting me to her arms

like a poet, willing me to hear anther verse

like a magician, hypnotizing me under her spell

like a river, enchanting and endearing

I walk closer

the glimmering waters beckon

tempted by the sheer inviting drop

my eyes riveted by the reluctant dewdrops

that glisten on the leaves before they melt away

at  the hint of the first ray of sun

and kiss the tender tendrils on the ground

where the buds open up magically

at the first strain of the new song

the melody and harmony

of the birds waking up to herald the new day

the insects making their way

to their business of the day

...suddenly breaking me out

of my reverie

reminding me that

I should head back

to the bivouac of life

and I will have another day

to feel the magic at the edge

to be tempted by its delusive illusions

to move on and be up and doing

still achieving, still pursuing...

Wildflower

Wildchild- Nikita Sara

a girl, a child woman

like a flower in the wild

on the treacherous mountain top

on the edge of a hill

on the river bend

standing bright after a storm

all else withered but the wild flower standing tall

with a promise of a brilliant bloom after the rain

to bring joy to a broken heart
to stand out in brilliance at the break of dawn

to radiate hope at the first ray of sun

to be trampled once again

and yet flower again

bringing back colour to the enchanted wilderness

Reflections

Reflection- Nikita Sara

I like what i see

My reflection whispers to me

I smile a silent smile

It’s taken me a while

To move away from the shadows

To erase the blows

To find a place I belong

To find a place I want to rest

I quickly steal a look

without fear or anxiousness

at the brilliant reflection that smiles back at me

at the reckless soul

the free spirit that has nestled

with the spirit

that has dared

to bare itself and make space for it forever!

One Day

One Day- Nikita Sara

One day if you let me

I will take you to the skies

Seat you on the stars

And as we make our way through the milky way

I will pick up all your dreams

And weave them with the stars

And spin it all around you

I know you don’t see yourself

The way I do

The questions and thoughts

 that plague you day in and day out

but, with you on my mind all the time

those thoughts are things I cannot go a day without!

One day

When you let me, I shall build an observatory

Just to show you

That throughout all constellation

All the stars will never

Shine as bright as you!

Nikita Sara

Chasing fireflies

Fireflies- Nikita Sara

Been chasing fireflies......

Wrapped in a rainbow
Living a dream
Burying sensibilities
Leaving reality behind,
plummeting into a world so divine!

A jolt, 
a thunderbolt
As I lounged around on the silver lined clouds
Rudely woken in a world I didn't belong

Picking up the mask 
thrown once behind
Reluctantly, coldly, putting the dreams away
Back into the arena to battle with the mighty
A life lost, dreams lost but hope still remain alive

....Reborn, once again to chase the fireflies!
