Little Allefly

~ Frank Solanki ~ 37 Comments

My little sister, Allefly

With hair of crimson red

Very timid, mousy and shy

A tiny worm can get her scared

…

She is scared of the dark

Never wants the light to go away

Pretty scared when stray dogs bark

From school to home, on her way

…

But she isn’t afraid of telling the truth

Nor even afraid to speak her mind

Like the time she broke Anne’s tooth

And confessed to being quite unkind

…

Nor is she afraid of any bully

Neither afraid to say ‘No’

Like the time Little Wooly

Asked her out for a show

…

She is neither scared of me

Though I have more numbers to my age

She punches me when we disagree

And then puts on a loving bandage

Peculiar Green Guests

~ Frank Solanki ~ 53 Comments

I flashed a light in the sky

With a small mirror in my hand

And beheld with my naked eye

A UFO dropped down on land

And out came two green creatures

With a tail each and eyes a-poppin’

A thousand other eerie features

The aliens had come a-droppin’

I looked up at the sky again

For I found it quite hard to digest

“Why can’t He throw down snow or rain

Instead of peculiar green guests?”

How To Cook A Life Full Of Love

~ Frank Solanki ~ 138 Comments

I cooked a special meal for us

With magical ingredients

1 tsp of hope and hard work

1/2 a cup of luck

2 tbsp of chopped romance

500 ml of song and dance

2 large cups of trust

And a 100 g of passion is a must

…

I soaked hope in water and kept aside for a few minutes

Cooked hard work in 2 large cups of trust

Then grind hope to form a delicious paste

Heated luck in a pan and added the paste

Stirred it continuously till the mixture turned to happiness

Blended song and dance and passion into happiness till it changed colour to peace

Sprinkled a little romance on the top

Then let it cool for some time and take the desired shape

And spread it over your heart

All The Worries

~ Frank Solanki ~ 34 Comments

Take me to a place where I can find good in everything

Where the flowers bloom, the stars they glow and there’s eternal spring

If the lord would grant me one last wish, I’d say I’d like to stay

With Him for ever as a friend and never go away

My heart and soul you can keep. I do not need it now

But also take all the worries that are resting on my brow

And free me from these chains that are residing in my head

I am so confused. I know not if I am living or if I am dead

Never Love Again

~ Frank Solanki ~ 102 Comments

Someday I will tell you just exactly how I feel

If I am able to figure out what is right and what is real

Then I’ll hold you close and leave my fate completely in your hands

Or I may turn around and walk away just as I may have planned

…

I know not what is in my stars and in my destiny

But I know that sooner or later the truth will set me free

Till then I’ll just close my eyes and try not to feel any pain

And pray to God in the heavens above that I never love again

Every Cloud Has A Story

~ Frank Solanki ~ 39 Comments

Out there floats a ball of dust

Smoke and gas and hollowed rust

Swimming in the sky with swollen glory

Every cloud has his story

…

As they’re born they form and float

While they live they quietly gloat

Some they rain and some they blow

Only a few call a splendid show

For some you reserve your euphory

Every cloud has his story

…

Every leaf has his glory

Every dew has his story

Every breath has his glory

Every cloud has a story

Am I A Poet?

~ Frank Solanki ~ 105 Comments

Am I a poet? No, not really

I am a painter. This page is my canvas and my pen is my brush

I am a magician. I create a story out of nothing, a poem out of thin air

I am a scientist. The letters of the alphabet are my chemicals. I keep experimenting with them

Am I a poet? No, not really

I Gave You My All

~ Frank Solanki ~ 69 Comments

I gave you my heart, I gave you my soul

I gave you my time, I gave you my all

I still asked you just to be sure

If you needed anything more

…

But you always mocked and laughed

What I gave you was never enough

You wanted me to smile while I bleed

You wanted me to know all that you will need

…

Now it doesn’t matter since you’re gone

You’ve flown away and I’ve moved on

Hope you appreciate his heart and soul

Appreciate him, his time and all

​You, You, You

~ Frank Solanki ~ 57 Comments

Yeah, you, you, you

I wrote a poem just for you

But you just couldn’t do

What I asked you to

…

Yeah, you, you, you

I wrote a song just for you

I spent an entire night thinking of you

Did you spare a moment for me too?

…

Yeah, you, you, you

I walked a mile just for you

When you called, I came to your rescue

But you didn’t even see me through

…

Yeah, you, you, you

I crossed an ocean just for you

Just to get to you

I climbed a mountain just for you

Just to be with you

But I guess you don’t want me

The way that I want you

Yeah, you, you, you

I’ve had enough of you

Now it’s going to be

Me, me, me

Yeah, me, me, me

​3 Voices In My Head

~ Frank Solanki ~ 47 Comments

3 voices in my head

Scream and shout

Make my head all dizzy

Fill me up with doubt

…

3 voices in my head

One asks me to wake

Two likes to stay in bed

Three just needs a break

…

3 voices in my head

One wants me to write

Two raises his voice

Three gets into a fight

…

3 voices in my head

One tells me to work

Two is lazy

Three goes berserk

…

3 voices in my head

I listen to None

She is peaceful and quiet

She’s a lot of fun
