The Guardians

Even before opening my eyes
I felt that warmth and protection
Behind the womb of the mother
I was safe.....well guarded

Evil viruses or agonizing dreams
Lost in a fair or lots of despair
Drawn in Confronts or shame by affronts
Beneath the armour of father
I was safe.......well guarded

As my wings become stronger
The guardians push me to go higher
"Learn the cruel rules
May the guardian angel be with you"
I laughed with bloated pride
"Let the angels be with you"

As I grow up learning
Sometimes pain creeps-in the veins
Sometimes darkness penetrates the soul
Sometimes devils start barking in the mind
Sometimes false expectations squeeze the heart


I want to reach behind that safe womb
I want to go beneath that impeccable armour

And then
I could feel in dreams
Guardian angel collecting sorrows happily
Filling the punctured soul by honey

Oh my angel...
This selfish spirit,
needs you tonight
Please visit for a moment
And May the life freeze at that moment........



Written for the guardian angel of everybody...May they visit earth this diwali

This abstract poem is all about missing your loved ones...those who protect you from the evils outside and inside both and to those in the company of whom you feel safe and cozy...you can associate as many meanings as you can according to your understanding...it's open ended

Please leave comment if you cannot understand the meaning of any line

Love,
Saurabh
