heal the world

i-m-possible !!!!!!

2009-07-09T08:32:00.000-07:00

blossoms on parched land

songs on tied tongue

heart beats in the dead

vision in the blind

fire on lake placid

movement in stillness

exuberance in void

love in petrified heart

"impossible is possible"

for the one who believes

faith is not an external shell

it is our very core

from where dreams take shape

and expands our being

impossible is possible

for the man who thinks

to venture on untreaded paths

leaving his own mark

on the sands of time

for the brilliance of his wine

will intoxicate the lost souls

so they realise their

carved out dreams

impossible is possible

for the one who knows

a bright dawn awaits

the darkest of nights

to take away pangs of pain

of a long journey

bathing in morning dew

for those few

who kept walking

and never looked back

impossible is possible

for those who learn

to discern

right from wrong

and make tough choices

for the wrong tempts

and rewards instantly

with short lived pleasures

the right will take longer

and test harder

but rewards eternally

one may sweat and bleed initially

where vision is hazy and hopes thrashed

where nothing lasts

friendship,family and fortune

may vanish fast

and that is when

the greatest of tasks

were accomplished

by the brave souls of the soil

they conqured mortality

and will be remembered eternally

impossible is possible for those

who walk off the edge

and treats this whole world

a stage

where life is enacted

and roles played

for they learn to laugh

and enjoy their part

in the game of life

to master camaraderie

they join hands

and take all along

where none is left alone

and together they accomplish

the i-m-possible ........................

from where i stand today

i wish to see

a world sculpted

by the hands

of these men of substance

with strong shoulders

to pillar humanity

away from all the insanity

Amen!!!

get UP and get GOING

2009-07-09T03:36:00.000-07:00

if i were asked
one thing in this world
that shatters me
beyond imagination
i would say
its a man without enthusiasm
a man without courage
a man who loses
his will to live
a man who gives up
a man who hates himself
a man not MAN enough...

a river never loses hope
meandering through dreaded channels
on pebbles,concrete and gravel
from the darkest woods
hitting rock bottom
from the highest cliffs..
no mountain dares its determination
to reach the mighty ocean
its panoramic destination
and when the two meet
after a long ordeal
after myriad twists and turns
and topsy turvy oscillations
heres a revealation
for mankind and its affiliations...

the river no longer
is a lonely river
it acquires the vastness
and grandeur of ocean..

life is no smooth ride
and if its one
its really not life
the tougher the times
the bigger the opportunity
to learn a few more secrets
life caged in its bosom
for you to acquire new strength
and carve your destiny
and shape your life
its the crisis
that seperates the real
from the pretenders
give up not
for a man is not born
to give up
he is born
to take up
challenges like a rugby game
to dodge the hurdles
overpowering him
and keep moving
never to lose sight
of the goal
and the purpose of his being
of the only thing
that makes him man
the mightest of all entities
even in his frailties
he can redefine
this thin line
between winning and losing

get UP and get GOING!!!!!

one last time

2009-07-08T00:30:00.000-07:00

you have been walking
for so long without stopping
turn around and give me your hand
close your eyes
and let me dream on your behalf
let me hear
what you havent even said

engulfed in the chills outside
as if a thousand isebergs
melted in me
in the warmth of your breaths
the moment stood still
but you kept walking
with me following
to grab you if you fall
to stand beside you
to accompany you
and still never evade
your silence and your solace
your love like a grace
like a prayer in my heart
in my silent musings

let me shoulder
the weight on your soul
give it all to me
know that i am strong
i can hold on
to traversties and tramples of time

in this star sprangled night
let me play the old melody
once again to your shattered soul
to heal it and bring it back
to life and love

can you trust me
this one last time???

ascension

2009-05-31T08:11:00.000-07:00

swinging by my bedside
i stayed up all night
waiting for the dawn
for that first sight
swooshed aloud and screamed
in my own mind

i wish i could bare my soul
come out of this dingy hole
back into my light
like a free bird
in the vastness of sky
unbound and unceased
unchained and carefree
flying higher than my own being
now wondering if i understand a few things

let the storm pass
and spare no sight alas!
ripples rovered in revenge
on calmer surface entrenched
encroached on my patience
like a mirror
in million pieces
lying on the floor
behind closed door

destruction leads to rejuvenation
death leads to life
like a phoenix
from my own ashes
gathered my being
with darkness all around
it illumined like many suns
with all veils burnt
in its brilliance

like no gravity
hovered around like a feather
in rainbow adorned weather
in mysterious violin echoes
from eons back
everything around crystalled
in trasparent audacity
like everything communicating
something to you
those eternal messages from yore
our material ears couldnt adore
when you copmprehend
the incomprehensible
and the unimaginable
when all chains are broken
and all rules immaterial
when every word uttered
is a song to eternity
the whole universe
full of melody
a joy ruptures from within
and keep pouring out
as if it can fill
the whole cosmo
with an enormous expansion
spanning galaxies and beyond
you break free from
your tiny existence
and merge with the eternal
to become one with it
to become one beyond it
far from fragile limitations
like a gift
this immortality
is caged in the seeds
of eternal secrets
waiting to be revealed

too soon
TOO SOON!!!!!

sighs of a lover

2009-04-08T02:03:00.000-07:00

you are the rivulets
flowing through my mind
every time i am walking
i stop to turn back
to see if you are behind..

the waves of my being
chain you all over me
even when you try to
depart like twilight sunshine

and if you still know not
my love for you
i will be the breeze
wrapped in your fragrance
cascading through your body
in sheer elegance
whispering in your ear
the secrets i held dear

i wish i can turn back time
when i killed my dreams
so suave and sublime
never even confessed my love
to you until now
thinking my silence
will communicate to you somehow
i even shouted and yelled at you
how else do i tell
i really really love you

miss you when i am awake
miss you when i sleep
miss you in the rains
miss you in the chills
miss you in the summer
miss you in the springs
miss you inside me
miss you all around me

i run out of words
every time i try to tell you
i wont want to lose
now that i finally found you
your voice echoes in my ear
your smile crystalled in my eyes

like an artists imagination
painted you on my being
and if you still dont understand a thing
you would never be told
what you always meant to me

petrified in my heart
you will be caged till eternity
like a prayer on my lips
you will be whispered eternally
like a vision in my eyes
i will see you eventually
like blood in my veins
in every iota of my body .

(i wish you read these words
and know how much you are loved
before its too late
before nothings left to state..........)

alis grave nil : nothing is heavy to those who have wings

2008-11-11T21:09:00.000-08:00

vivid flow of rivers of my thought
conspired to draw me deep within
my own world my own being
trying in vain old game of hiding

face it or fake it
one has to make it
the chase now transformed
to a new beginning
where gloom is as true as lightening

no longer at crossroads
i stood without a choice
it hardly matters
whether one succumb or rejoice
that one way ahead
drawing me with all its might
like a grain of sand
swaying in mighty dash of breeze
how can one judge
whats wrong and right ?

i held time still
letting lose threads of imagination
will i turn to ashes
or is it time for rejuvenation
countless ripples on calm core
where on surface i became
a vast ocean

when i gave in to life
it began unfolding
guess its done with
its spree of testing
my endurance and strength
or clueless at my indifference

hope in my heart
song on my lips
dream in my eyes
air in my lungs
sky above my head
soil beneath my feet
a part of me wants to leave
and a part wants to stay
ceased between this sway
gathered my being
i am waiting for your
next sting

guess the journey is yet to begin...

terror twilight

2008-09-22T06:26:00.000-07:00

crimson tides across skies
sends message from aboard
the land below has turned bloody red
sullying everything that was once sacred....

catharses of human endeavors
lies naked in front of thy eyes
we built nations for centuries
and all it took was one explosion
to blow us apart…..

our death at a click of a button
in their hands
so at their will
the whole city stood still
that fateful night
blood thirsty and nasty
snatched smiles form many faces
lying everywhere their scattered pieces ....

stop this dirty game
enough to put humanity at shame
their left behind helpless souls
shrieking tears and widespread fears..
booming from every corner of the street
while you step out of the doors
death waits in the garb of greet....

no one knows who's next
whether I will see tomorrow
or be a bait to these enemy of fate?

they intend to ravish
the kingdom of bones and flesh
on the name of god and scripts
can destroy our dreams in a flash….

pain of orphans and widows
homeless and helpless
melt them not
for they are not humans
but evil disguised as blotch..

lost is the kingdom of god
what is left is
a mad man
in the name of god
wanting a kingdom of his own
built on ashes of our dreams and hope.

are we waiting to yield?
for how long we will mortgage
our freedom to fear ?
for how long we plan
to live at their mercy?
for how long we plan
to pity our own identity?
for how long we will be
impotent spectators
to their ruthless verdict?

why cant humanity
stand up and find
its lost esteem and identity ?
its lost serendipity
its lost parity
and
its long lost you and me ……

for how long ???

this is what dreams are made of

2008-07-12T11:56:00.000-07:00

a star winkles over the glory of night

shining through and through to you

one in eternity in its entirety

this is what dreams are made of.....

reluctance of river to embrace ocean

tread in travesty still laughing merrily

sheen of calm caressing acclaims

this is what dreams are made of.....

glance through a child's eyes

searching for contours of mother's face

amidst a world so strange

this is what dreams are made of......

courting like a lover's delight

laughing through those endless fights

a joy that unfolds in tear drops on embrace

this is what dreams are made of.......

rainbow colours of human emotions

love disguised as hatred and jealousy

comforting solace even in this insecurity

this is what dreams are made of........

conquer the world with imagination

fading with time yet moving towards rejuvenation

a desire to live again without hesitation

this is what dreams are made of.........

like destiny hatching a conspiracy

and man wants to let go and break free

courage disguised as a sweet surrender

this is what dreams are made of ........

a temptation on fire between the lovers

fearless suspension of laws of time and space

amnesia about the world all around

this is what dreams are made of.......

2008-07-03T00:02:00.000-07:00

as waves splashed accross ocean
to see them embrace
time stopped right there
in a heightened grace.
when man falls in love
he rises to eternity ,
the whole universe celebrates
when two souls dissolve barriers
to merge in each other and reverberate.....
when there are no conditions ,
no promises to keep
nothing to bind, none to chase....
love is here to invade...
where there are no seperate identities
love would never escape....
where ego has no place
where will it stay
when there wont be any space
between the ones in love ..
temporal and spatial dimensions
are a phenomenon of this planet
love belongs to heaven
and lovers on cloud nine
their eyes do see all as fine
leave them alone for a while
they want to buy some time
shed these stares at them
they need not give justification
if love can be justified
its not love
for it is beyond reason
and if i can write about it
it would be a treason
for love is beyond language
its an expression
a divine imagination
core of humanity
none can understand its gravity
if you can ...
you have known love
then you would not want to know
anything else

......nothing else !!!!!

life in womb of secrecy

2008-06-26T04:12:00.000-07:00

Swarming questions knocking at my door
Heavy eyelids and weight on the soul
In search of that heart felt goal
Leading to a content universe deep within
Sometimes close sometimes miles apart.

Life goes round in circles
In search for that distant clue
These dead castles from yore
Alive with tales from the past
wish I can bring them to life
Travel to future to reflect on present.

And be a little crazy for sometime
Forget all rules all conventions
Rewind and forward life at will
And not be a slave of its erratic pace
Break the patterns and designs
Solve some riddles with hindsight
Find cause of the order behind chaos
Tryst between human destiny and choice.

Why sadness and joy take turns
Make us merrier at one time
Miserable at the other
Are we even masters of our own lives
Born with cries die with cries
The whole life we have to try
One goal after another
Looking forward to establish identities
On sands of time
In front of a world itself sublime.

I don’t pity this state
It’s a joke that we take so seriously
Frown and fume to fix up the gloom
Like a ray of hope
At the end of the tunnel
We all need to find our answers
To break free from monotony and irony
To put an end to this blazing war
And know for sure the way out.

To break this mystery wrapped around ‘time’
Drawn to a chase all this while
To stand the ground and be firm
Allow the notion to twist and turn
But come out white in the light
Clear the clouds of mist
surrounding the womb of secrecy
and bring all ordeals to their final end.

you should not know !

2008-06-14T03:11:00.000-07:00

Illumine me by your presence
Show me your core
Like a fig on distant galore
Swooshing and swirling
With trespassing ocean waves
On some lonely shore

Like the tick of clock
My heart skipped a beat
The beasts within are awake
To take the night by their stride

Like a tear drop
Snaking through my lips
Searching for a clue
Like a mistress of night

Caves of gloom and glitch
But the locks are broken
To run to you , grab you
Hold you tight
To never let go of you…

Ask the sky , ask the stars
They waited with me for you
Stroll of endless hours
By dawn shattered flowers
With leftover fragrance

To hear your voice
my whole world was mute
ephemeral like a shooting star
and its left trail
counting by seconds
to feel your presence

and when you come
will try to pretend to thee
Waiting for someone
Not my cup of tea
Dawn should not know
Secrets of night though
So should you never know
How I felt for you…….

nothingness

2008-06-05T12:10:00.000-07:00

stretched to the corners

distant and dark

even a whisper

echos so loud

on sands of time

a message for tomorrow

when we wont be there

no more

whatsoever

none to cherish our stay

none to bid a good bye

a void so vast

none could fill

don't even try

in designs of creation

like a black hole

to engulf our being

in part and whole

vanished without a trace

this body this face

this pride and grace

there wont be any voice

nor any choice

to stay

a little longer

choking nostalgia

and desires

those dreams

some real some shattered

this nothingness

was the truth

will be the truth

invincible as always

immortal for ever

we are unreal

a moment of flicker

like a bubble

waiting to vaporise

to nothingness

emptiness

sooner or later

wake up dear

its now

or NEVER!!!!!

REST assured

2008-06-05T11:34:00.000-07:00

winds blew the saffron

from flares of my dress

twisting and curling

to my joy from within

read my mind

understand the rhyme

my song no less than

divine

caress my hair

oh crazy wind

drench me all over again

embrace of rain

my laughter is unchained

unstoppable , uninterrupted

so pure , so novel

taste of freedom , taste of tussle

within my heart and mind

i hear none

i heard my self

beyond these

come share my joy

be with me

on this voyage

no bars , no rules , no age

like a conqueror

after a battle for glory

a solved riddle

deciphered mystery

free for once and all

free in this fall

to rise to eternity

holding your hand

cuddled in your embrace

i am at peace ....

long lost peace

now i wish to sleep .............

enigma

2008-06-04T01:26:00.000-07:00

stretched right in front of my eyes

large chunk of barren land

of my dreams, my hopes

everything i lived for till date

shattered in thousand pieces

scattered all around , all over

i stood up gathered

my whole being

still bewildered still tired

where my life is treading

none had a clue

including mine

no where to go

and have no time

no plans for future

my present is sublime

faith stole a shadow

i thought was mine

and brought it to light

hoping would be a crime

so no hopes no dreams no aspirations

i get up to see a day

to chase the dawn

and face the night

time has challenged

my soul and my might

unarmoured and helpless

i am not

i have stood the test of time

now i dont give a dime

to life and its dearies

today my pen wont stop

lifted it up

not to write a poetry

but my own destiny

on my terms

and my lines.................

look ahead!

2008-04-27T10:39:00.000-07:00

let my words run echo to your souls

and shatter its long closed doors

banging and breaking open

to melodies of novel chords

strumming the great guitar

of your being behind mask...

let my wings fathom

the heights of your imagination

to take you far from gravity

and your brevity

to the vastness of your being

enclosed in vanity.

let my music ease your pain

to bring back life even to the dead

let all your sorrows be mine

and my joys be so divine

to heal your loss and your grief

far from a heart felt wish

but a friend's firm belief.

let my limbs be so strong

to shoulder great responsibility

to take ahead

all those left behind

so we march to future

as equals in equanimity

no more hatred or animosity

with this prayer on my lips

and calm in my heart

i hit the sack

once again to come back

for the dawn waits for me

to welcome it

with hope ,love and peace

and a promise to always

look ahead !

que sera sera

2006-12-06T23:17:00.000-08:00

roller coaster ride our lives
blown by mighty dash
like a feeble leaf bidding farewell
to the branch of maple
her all time abode ,
nurtured it ,fed it, saved it
from rages of harsh seasons ...
knows not where it is heading
her dream to touch the sky
grab the clouds
swoosh and swing
to melodies of liberation
caught unawares at destiny's plans
it could never fathom ..
rush of river rage
took it to unknown shores
wind caressed its drenched body
zapped to snow capped mounts
frozen to core of her being
it yearned for warmth
in memories of yore
nostalgia of the same branch
at the break of dawn
and that amber ball
and those mist droplets
promising her youth and life
watching a long road swirled by
waiting to be trampled and thrashed
asking for just one last favor
to tell the branch and her fellow leaves
what they meant for it
never knew their worth

never cared a bit.

a faint drop of water on her

left it like a tear of remorse

all alone and broken
vanished under the wheels
just like wheels of time
running for all of us
never wait for tomorrow
for the branch that holds us firm

adds meaning to our being

shedding haze from crisis of identity
needs to be told we love
yes we do we always did
and we always will.......

ebony ordeal

2006-11-19T11:14:00.001-08:00

of course she knew

none would welcome her

on her arrival

never a praise showered

never a word uttered

true to her duty's honour,

like a veiled beauty

night crawled lavishly

snaking through glitters

sprinkled on her robe.

a gaze through the window

radiated cold aurora

eclipsed by grandeur of moon

even in her quiet trails

nightwould never fall asleep.

dawn challenges her modesty

for she would never allow

humanity to remain in dark

and see the truth

in all its glory

and all its shine

daughter of mighty ticking time

she promises to return

to offer her laps

from a day of harsh world

to rest your head on.

sleep her exuberant gift

to prepare you

for a new dawn's spirit

she would wear

the twilight attire

like a new bride's desire

pure grace no satire

night is boundless beauty

for all to decipher.......

shed masks!

2006-11-17T06:35:00.000-08:00

hazy strokes of twilight

playing hide and seek

dancing waves of ocean

warm sand lavished

beneath my feet

how better could be a paradise

than this captivated view

in front of my eyes

rhythm in breeze

sparks desire of embrace

to a vast stretch of clouds ahead

caressing skin of zooming waves

bidding farewell to amber ball

I was only breaths

inside and outside

a union shadowed in

glitz and glamour

of maddening buzz in streets

and a crazy rush

to none knows where

breath is a secret

none knew its revelation

it makes everything lose its meaning

watching the dying waves

merging with the ocean

I felt an unknown connection

to that wave on ocean

being in ocean like that goldfish

water inside and outside

how can one question

the same ocean

it alone was our final introduction

shed all masks........

Stolen childhood

2006-11-10T13:05:00.000-08:00

dream through those twinkling eyes

are not dead despite a lost delight

life's hard equations barbed on them

fencing their basic right to life

their misery wrapped in disguise

bleeding to turn a deadly cancer

over time in nations future

the promise of youth

lies naked on streets

begging so they can have a life

dungeons of a stolen childhood

petrified their dreamy eyes

living for they don't have a choice

while the rest of us can have

an unabashed rejoice

these young angels work

in deadly establishments

with no contrasts of day and night

feeding their families

burning their flesh

in assaults on their mind soul and flesh

robbed of the beauty of innocence

time would turn them to mass violence

for what the society cant give them today

will be snatched form it tomorrow...

Confession.....

2006-11-10T12:39:00.000-08:00

Sometimes our worst fears crop up
dared in shame attired agony
no relief in sight
no panacea to work
just a lingering thought
do we talk them out
or stay the course?
an endless dilemma
and no end in sight
failed laws of gravity
the more one suppress
the more they surface
confession is hardest beacon
would you be left alone
or have a shoulder
to rest your head on?
a revelation that stood test of time
you may bet a thousand dime
love would triumph without a doubt
even when a dirty truth
yell its lungs out
strength would be born
on ashes of pain
when you have courage
to confess the same
when the heart is heavy
pour out the load
to one who cared
speak up before its too late
a lost chance may change
to a predator waiting to devour
the love nurtured in cocoons of faith
it is never too late
it is still not late......

A journey.....no end ,no beginning

2006-11-08T10:15:00.000-08:00

I kept calling you
all I heard were the echoes
of my own voice
when I went looking out to u
all I saw was my own reflection
in the mirror
when I open my arms
so i can grab you close to me
all i get is an endless void
stretching to infinity
crawled an inkling out
sharpened on razors of reason
failing badly to grasp even an iota of you
alas ! All conversations broke soon
starving my senses
with nothing left to feed
and no more plans ahead
so unplumbed under an open sky
nothing that my palms could grab
no turning back no stopping by
void is not so lifeless as it looked
void can be so full

was all an experience
silence could speak things
that intellect can not comprehend
a tough game of unflinching faith
why starve yourself a thrill
you have never known
and you would not know
IF YOU DO NOT SET OUT
to seek it play it and win it
all by yourself........

for my journey has started

and it still continues.........

someday

2006-11-04T00:51:00.000-08:00

like a free falling leaf

carried by powerful breeeze

to unknown destinations

an exuberant flight

an escape to some place

where hypocrisy fades

where treachery doesnt hide ,

behind innocent face

where blood relations,

are not mocked at

where woman is someone,

beyond her body and flesh

where creator of creation,

need not be proved by reason

where echoes of laughter

not too expensive to spare

where there is no mad rush

for things we already possessed

where blessings have a meaning

and not just a verbal gimmick

where destitutes and dejected

are not left to die on roadsides

where mother nature

is not robbed and left to bleed

where silence is all enduring

do we really need a language

alas utopias are embedded in imagination

or can they really exist?

i left a thought in cosmo

hoping it will resonate

to humanity lost in frailty

someday somewhere somehow......amen!

my friend's wedding.....

2006-08-01T09:26:00.000-07:00

saw those clouds going by
finally the rains have poured
weather is calm now to everyone's delight
so was the look in her eyes
she didnt know
where her life wanted to take her
after a terrible push and pull
she finally had an answer in sight
confusions plenty and a choice on every turn
life is a long road with twists abundant
she was a victim of the similar confusion
all she looked was affirmation
for the right and wrong of her final decision
after all its a question
of a life long relation.
would she make it a success
or succumb to her fears?
but the moment was finally here
her love is going to be her life
she still thinks to be a surprise
he loves her so much
may be more than her thoughts could fathom
i hope she never becomes a victim
of any further confusion

love is an old mystery

flirting for her is now 'history'
wishing her a beautiful life ahead
wish this finally gets to her head
and i lose another friend to nuptial trap

alas its strange to understand her smile now
guess this curve could only set
all things straight

keep smiling friend........

ageless body timeless mind....possible

2006-06-13T10:43:00.000-07:00

I am busy with my life
from dawn to dusk
days just go by
and every day my mirror
is afraid to tell a lie
I grow old and may be bit wiser
but world still seems
an unending riddle
may be the test of wisdom
draped in age old vision
the more I know how little I know
is alone going to help me grow
read a thousand books
all my life
heard millions of tongues preach
entangled in confusions
sometimes utter frustrations.
at the face of it
life seemed an easy game
the worst truth raised its ugly face
what do I really know
about who I really am?
three things that unite us all
baked in hot deserts or drenched in lavish showers
you may be a millionaire or a roadside pauper
inadequacies, desires and death.
no matter how busy I am
or I would be
I share a common destiny.
the whole universe a family
and I saw family as my universe
truth has always been contradictory
and so am I.
we put up a facade for whom ?
who do we try to impress?
who do we try to protect?
we are all murderers
we kill innocence we kill humanity
we kill our souls we kill our essence
we pave ways to trap ourselves
in immortal chains of mortality
losing our sanity

wake up before u sleep eternally

moon seemed sprinkled with glitters
shining through drapes of night
breeze so calm and soothing
thought to stay awake
a little more
heaven so vast yet humbled
my gratitude to you
before i forget before i am no more
u never asked for anything in return
wish i can pack my bags
hold my guitar and air in my lungs
walk away to unknown destinations
everyone including me a stranger
a forgotten song on my lips
a forgotten rhythm on strings
in the laps of nature
cozy caresses of day soothing shades of night
like a kite without strings
flying accross the sky to test the extremes
would i still look back?
yes i would for i am indebted
for every bit of love i recieved
from the known and unknown
some dearer some stranger
some conditional some unconditional
love in all its shades
jealousy hatred and anger
here a no mans land my heart
still stuck in nostalgia
i will become a cloud
and cry in drops of rain
easing you from the burning pain
i will be the fire
to save you from chills of life
i will be gone but never lost
writing to be alive through my words
till eternity in memory
of the ones i loved
and all those
who loved me hated me
remembered me forgotten me
will reside in your smiles till infinity
laugh your heart out
whenever you will miss me
