Imaginations

By Shanu Goyal

Wild imaginations
Prove incredible capacity of mind
When ideas wander
Thousands of mysteries entwine

Erratic thoughts
Passing through crests and troughs
Struggling way through this maze
Seems really tough

Thousands of webs woven
Then hundreds of them broken
Human mind still wandering
Melting desires that are frozen

Plethora of flamboyant dreams
Web of utopian concepts
Unending phantasmagoric shadows
Surreal emptiness

Shanu Goyal was born in the small town of Uttar Pradesh, India... "I've been writing poems since age of 12. For me, poetry is a medium to connect to my inner self. Poetry for me is divine. A sudden burst of emotions come up to the brim, I channelize my turbulent flow of thoughts and a composition takes place. My book, Silence Speaks published in 2005, is a collection of poems written in different moods. I believe we can stop running in search of happiness... I have realized that happiness is a by-product of our actions - it is a state we all can remain in if we choose to. Today, my poems are a reflection of this new 'ME' and I do not have to feel depressed, for example, to pen down a few lines."
