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

:)

lingering sight!!!

2006-02-10T04:30:00.000-08:00

How desperately I waited
every tick seemed like ages
to get out of the visions chasing me
felt every beat pounding and pumping
blood in my eyes
tight fist enough to pierce skin
breath like a maddening tempest
all doors closed on my face
no friends no foes no grace
what stopped me
why was I scared?
open sky over my head
pulls of gravity
vanishing at some distance
world moves at his own pace
there are orders
other than natural
and those made by man
why was I silent?
why was I a witness to the brutality?
why was everyone quiet?
why why why?
no ! I am not a coward!
I am not , I never was
I feel the might of a man,
the dash of tigress
in flight of my dreams and hope
but i regret today and moan
why did i let that poor old man die
on streets ........................All alone!!!!

for all man out there!

2006-01-24T08:47:00.000-08:00

woman thou name death
echo in yore
sumptuous galore
eyes allure greens of Nile
your smile can shy
pearls from ocean bottom
your tread challenge
lavish trails in wild safari
words not your captive
language is a lost companion
beauty speaks volume
Adam would have been lost
if eve would not have graced
ordeals of history
you fool yourself
claiming you can know
a woman completely
ever shrouded in mystery
persona not bound by definitions
she breaks all conventions
like a phoenix
rising from her ashes
a meaning in voids of creation
woman thou name sacrifice
your tears champion
extents of endurance
your love none can know
poets, seers and generations
your pain none has understood
woman thou name secret
you can not be revealed...

so keep guessing!!!!!

red rose petals

2006-01-21T01:52:00.000-08:00

stretched long swirls of twisted road

lies barren in front

should I walk or should I wait

a bit longer

hiding in my pocket

petals of a red rose

dry and dead

yet with memories alive

an evening like paradise

the city abuzz with laughter

dusk draped reflections

looking through the river beneath

the bridge and gala street light

there were voices within

more vivid yet subtle

where am I going ?

where have I reached?

staring those petals in my fist

I laughed yet again

merging with the city laughter

street lights , wild rush, loud music

but i was silent inside

i may not be able to tell

where i went with that night.....

turn back once more

2006-01-14T09:43:00.000-08:00

she kept walking not knowing

she was chased all along

a lonesome tread

screams in her head

she heard none other voice

as if a sweeping slumber

gripped her senses

night put on her robe of youth

gradually getting darker

the maddening winds had premonition

she as usual ignored

but why she suddenly stopped

and wanted to turn back

some whisper or her illusion

what was it that let her stop

and look back

nothing.....

no voice ,no sight just a void

a void like her life

she resumed her ordeal

her life running like a flashback

in front of her eyes

and now she screams

shivering the silence of the woods

she screams at her life

at her love at her dreams

at her dilemmas and struggles

shredding through the dying crescent

across the sky

she takes out a knife

and rip her veins open

and waited for her death

she turned back again

never knowing why

a loud laughter in the air

laughing at her for she did

what she was made to do

and she wakes from her intoxication

knowing the bleeding hand was no dream

she died with every tick of that bloody night

and this time she could never turn back

never knowing that laughter

and the intoxication

never knowing she was loved and wanted

for there were eyes waiting for her return

in her home all so alone

and wished she would turn back

for once to come back home....

2005-11-27T03:20:00.000-08:00

Killing her softly

2005-11-27T02:56:00.000-08:00

She sat unplumbed in her own

on moon staring from the window
eyes with cease on torn apart tempest
shivered at her charisma
the city laid bare in front of her
glistened with the filth of misery
naked and traumatized crusades
why she bore the burdens of guilt bags?
looked for a shoulder to cry on
aloud enough to bang
the closed doors of conscience
lost in the hustle bustle of city
swarmed with the beasts of flesh
was looked at and laughed at
yet living for the sake of it
a tear poured occasionally
enough to tell they care
left with numbered days
she could count on her fingers
she wished to live a few more though
one of those many nights
she was trampled and trashed
took away that last hope
that drove her to the filths of city
she would no longer see
serene breeze ,the lush green guards,
flawless compassion inviting her back
with open arms still waiting for her
the valley she left for the filths of city
she knew she was not the first
nor the last to embrace
the death crawling like the shadows in woods
gradual , heavy and dirty
no more reason no more motive
she beaconed termites of HIV positive.

Romance ? not my cup of tea!

2005-09-22T11:32:00.000-07:00

his eyes intoxicated without booze
his gaze pierced like thousand needles
his charm could shy sparkle on crystals
his breath warm like the first rays of sun
after a freezing snow fed night
he sat spruced up and quiet
a glass of red wine desperate for his touch
he could communicate without words
the rhythm of loneliness dying on violin strings
night raged passion stroked desire
true there is no smoke without fire
all i could hear was my own breaths
in that silent musing night deep and dead
the chills of breeze spared no mercy
giving me goosebumps in agony
strange pangs gripping yet tender
mesmeric in his charm offensive
crazy winds cascading his hair hugged me tight
moon played hide and seek pranks
how i wished i could get my eyes off him
if there would be temptation personified
it would be him
my heart banged heavily the doors long closed
meandering from tip to toe
my gaze on his tuxedo
he was diving into my ocean
stealing pearls hidden deep
ruling sensation smeared infatuation
he came close ......too close
fire and ice fragrance
ripping me apart ,
his persona
breaking me to pieces .
night still young and yearning
even in open space
a dearth of oxygen
the walls of breeze between ,unbearable
and i fell off my chair besides the table

i wonder , why a happy ending is far from possible
i wish dreams could have been tangible..............

Sumptuous slumber

2005-09-11T13:31:00.000-07:00

Sand dunes stalked piece of land
scorching sun severed sonata
sweet slumber sobered senses
youth enslaved to theory of relativity
time keeps slipping like sea sand
captured in a lavish photo frame
a smiling face rid of gloom
will always be alive and untouched

every tick takes me closer to my grave
am I scared of dying
or scared of death itself?
pain of parting says it all
with super strong senses
it will find me from darkest hide outs
i may fool myself
with false promises of living eternal
like a dove closing its eyes
on deadly approach of canine
thinking its not there.

oh death!You are inevitable
an unwelcome guest, a mighty foe
you keep everyone on their toe
the duality in you
hurts and heals the wounds
left open by you with ointment of time
some plan ahead of your visit
some even beyond you
none wants you still none escapes you
am i astonished at you?

no one understands you
nor the gifts in your bosom
a great pacifier a humble equalizer
your justice is unbiased and unchallenged
you break all illusions of the invincible
taking away all wear and tear of life
ceasing all chasing and cravings
rejuvenation is your weapon
you reside in transition
neither in end nor in beginning

you enslave time and keep it guessing
a mystery amidst misapprehension
novelty your desire , liberty your duty
an unflinching and ungiving discipline
your virtues are firm even on road less traveled
cries and shrieks cant melt you
you will take away everything
every possession,every relation , every achievement
every inch of my body which has been closest to me.

pain and misery your pretences
peace and harmony your promises
like a mother you nurtured me
every night in the garb of sleep
waking me up to a new dawn
ridding me of the push and pull of yesterday.

But you have your limitations;
the one who will know
all your secrets and beyond
will be able to escape you .

am i falling in love with you?

2005-09-03T14:09:00.000-07:00

bliss personified

Finally found you

2005-09-03T13:20:00.000-07:00

dying for the wait living for the sake

had questions you never answered

imagined distance you never fashioned

construed in reverence stiffened nostalgia

an emptiness caged in ribs for twenty three years

finally tastes the blood of life in eternity

your one glance filled all voids to richness

you were beyond this flesh and blood

an untold truth an unheard revelation

only a humble heart would know

you are finally here

to hear the call of ages

to wipe the tears off miseries

to treat the wounds of destitute

to embrace every bleeding heart

in your eternal love and bliss

a smile that blossom millions petrified

a look with strikes of lightening to dead conscience

a touch that heals and every pain seals

ridding me off the swamps of living

every cell in my body dances

to the rhythm of celebrations

right now right here

tomorrow turns to mystery

this body may be history

but this love that you poured

filling every empty space

will nourish every gloomy night

to a bright new sunshine divine

giving me the spark to light all dead candles

gratitude has become my attitude

smile is my wealth and I will be a millionaire

owning fortune of your love I have no further desires

bowing in your feet for I am born today

when I found the ocean

no more chasing

the lonely drops of water

life turns to crystal clarity

there are no further shades of grey.

Nainital...

2005-08-28T10:25:00.000-07:00

an echo rippled accross the giants

draped in lush green attire

that chill taking the blues away

from a petrified body in gloom

giving me a reason to smile

and wonder the time swooshing good bye....

as the winds swirled by

rescuing me from the stagnant sattire

streams of dilemma reunited to void

leaving me all alone in bliss

the rains of grace drenched me

in gratitude never revealed

calming the fire within and without

i was home after so long.....

2005-08-15T04:46:00.000-07:00

sigh!!!

An echo from yore

2005-08-11T14:12:00.000-07:00

crystalled in ruptures of dry leaves
my life made a humble beginning
a new page a new title
and a new me
running through the strings of guitar
a rhythmn never played before
like the dew drops still young
on drenched needles of grass
a calm gaze , a humble walk
through the dream of yore
lying in the bosom of sacrifice
and every other dilemma
now unstrings all by themselves
for i dont chase my dream anymore
its knocking right on my door
waiting for my next move
and i dont even get up
for what i desperately needed
does not impress me anymore
guess i came of age
to share the fate of trampled leaves
to nourish the barren land
for the seeds of tomorrow
need my ash
to phoenix a new beginning
on old pages of yore
i finally have
a new beginning......

2005-06-13T23:11:00.000-07:00

kiddo

the child in me.....

2005-06-13T21:40:00.000-07:00

Monday morning spelled mischief

i wish i could fly

fly so high draping stark sky

jumping to hip hop beats

drumming walls with sticks

tapping on the floor

dancing shoe ,tic tac toe

rocking body stirring soul

i could 'Bendit like Beckham'

waving hair to the new rythmn

shaking body to unchained melody

life was throwing proxy parody

wish i could be strings of guitar

swooshing through winds touching star

every cell of my body sang today

distinct colours of joy no shades of grey

music went wild , body caged thunder

cacophony from outside, amazed were my neighbours

cared no gaze ,cared no laughter

danced till the rage continued to flutter

chopping inhibitions ,rid of all masks

wanted to cry ,yell and laugh

Adidas t's, bermudas,a pair of Nike

today i was me ,me and just me

bell rings and everything went still

monday morning banging the door

kissing eyes open, my wonderland bid good bye

it was time to get up and let the child die

deep inside me waiting to be heard

and a chorus from dawn to dusk

forcing me to GROW UP!!!

for all my frenz in the world of blogging i will be taking leave for sometime to be back with a bang ......till that time .....good bye. will miss u all!!!!!

rejuvenation

2005-06-11T06:31:00.000-07:00

Human infermities traversing new paths

since when we have been weakened

iron willed and steel nerves

falling apart melting to sensitivities

one strike at religious pandora box

and the blood paints the eye red

impenetrable walls of creed and colour

ignorance shielded the truth from acceptance

wrapper changes but gift of history remained same

human sanity enslaved to veiled and viled politics

selfishness turned from individual to global realities

modernisation is in space not in time

national boundaries have soaked blood of millions

what we dont have is a perennial solution

we live in a unipolar world

besides promises of multipolarity

there are no absolutes only relativity

vices operate behind barbed wires of virtues

what is visible may not be true

even rivers , breeze and sunset

could put everything to test

turning nations to battlegrounds.

tags put on during lifetime

are enough to spell horror and disaster

for the human within innocent and pure

promises of technology and innovation

gradually turning world to sleepy hollow suffocation

seeing world through coloured glasses

spectators have turned blind

international platform and one misplaced statement

enough to flutter fury and abasement

words are now more important than sentiments.

money might manoeveurs and manipulates

morality is dead around naked dance of wealth

selling bodies,selling children and selling selves

markets of scavengers and blood sucking pests.

hunger for food no more potent as sex

instant gratification is the need of the hour

where every woman viewed as a whore.

fury of nature has signalled premonition

trailored in tsunami ,earthquakes and explosion

heed the warning or succumb to soil

deterioration has always preceded rejuvenation.

2005-06-10T10:50:00.000-07:00

spring

love is in the air

2005-06-10T10:30:00.000-07:00

dancing beams of moon

cascading waves of ocean

silent murmurs of breeze

and the music of rains.

love is in the air

a spectacle for those who care

leaving behind cocoons of comforts

and cubicles of heaters or air conditioners

night is young and full of passion

but alas! no admirers

her star sprangled beauty

hazed by intoxications of sleep

enough to quench thirsts dumped deep

snow flanked enormous mountains

turning saffron at dawn's trace

nature has more colours than one could witness

in spring collection of Versace.

satires of spring on summer

melodies of whispering romance

painting the streets with yellows

and the ones in love with pinks

chirping birds and songs of freedom

soaking the beauty of creation

drenching in mesmerizing rains

tintinabulations of serene breeze

paradise was right in front of my eyes...

2005-06-08T10:53:00.000-07:00

innocence

Face off

2005-06-08T10:37:00.000-07:00

wherever i cruise

one thing is bewitchingly apparent

the walls !

between heart , soul and mind

those having fortune ,beauty or wine

cold welcome and cosmetic smiles

pain is masked

blood in drains

yashmacks of selfish stink

choking me inside out.

zooming to rot and decay

we are machines of cosmo fray

dearth of true emotion

human frailty explosion

smiles curtaining grin and mockery

pride draping shame and agony

one is afraid to mirror himself

something within all of us breaks

possessions are ever endless

possessing last drop of ocean

kindles thirst for more water

in this world of paraphernalia

mother earth can satisfy needs

but not our greeds

when i possess universe

what next?

where do i go ? who do i belong?

and one question that rips me off

who am i?

continuing the amble

foraying into intoxication

at drags of life

and the push and pull

that deviates us

from humanity and its gifts

my ordeal continued

in the darks of cunning wood

searching for the innocence

this planet has lost..

2005-06-06T23:03:00.000-07:00

then and now

crucified

2005-06-06T22:24:00.000-07:00

bleeding wounds still young

drenched eyes still numb

parched land below

stretch of pale sky above

was her last resort

her eyes are not dead

they are asking you a question

what did she do to deserve this ?

staring at the corpse

of her dreams and youth

and that frightful night

enough to change

the course of her life

when her feminity bore

brunt of hungry beasts of body

to live a life of pain and agony

death could get her rid of it

but she chose to resist

her thrashing temptation

she knew she was crucified

to give life to the coming season

to blossom new flowers

drawing drives from her fertile land

of courage and dignity

for an immoral ,cruel , and stinking society.........

(she now runs a charity home to teach young girls escaped from brothels to be strong and live a life of dignity ....educating them to face the wraths of society, that horrible night changed her life and she became an inspiration out of her bleeding life's tragidy......

2005-06-05T05:23:00.000-07:00

twists and twirls

the spark

2005-06-05T05:08:00.000-07:00

Highway road twists and twirls

darting the bosom of naked winds

passage looked strange

calling aloud my name

creeping through my spine

an apparent hollow in me

swarming melodies accross this flute

every drop of blood blossomed

to this music divine

a rare spectacle shimmered

and woke me up to the energy

never fathomed that steered

my senses and awareness

sceptic notions clouded around

manifested into a beacon

lord gave me the spark

to light all dead candles

a far cry from heaven

a street full of tears

a subtle crescent of laughter

on a dark night of gloom

sadness cant curtain

sparkles of joy

the answer has finally dawned

to cease further questions

these meandering river of grace

to quench thirsty souls

the wait finally ends

right here ....right now........

2005-06-01T21:59:00.000-07:00

thick and thin

fate's bait

2005-06-01T21:42:00.000-07:00

In my silent musings

can i hum this tune forever

a blank paper is my life

waiting to be stamped on

with the impression of numbered days

a ship in the midst of turbulent ocean

aimless , hopeless , clueless commotion

drowned are the enigmas of destiny

searching for answers from trinity

a merky haze drapes subshine

sky now turns to red wine

and i sat helpless waiting for the cess

the drudgery looks so endless

and joys like eyeblink reflex

all i could ever do is wait and wait

time is almighty and i am its bait

a dual between master and slave

i was offered what i never desired

all i am left with is a being dead tired

so i wait till the day breaks

if i still breathe

i will surely rewrite my fate !!

2005-05-31T20:18:00.000-07:00

someday this pen
would stop writing further
day would come
when these eyes would see
no lightening no thunder
when there would be no
further promises of dawn.
everything would come to a halt
no aspirations , no fears , no remorse..
no one to bewilder
an eternal slumber serene
no push no gravity
vastness of sky would be fathomable
depths of ocean no longer unplumbed
no further cages of time
all chase would come to a cease

sometimes i laugh at the joke that is life
sometimes i wonder at the puzzles that ripe
every patch of earth has poison for sensations
taking me farther from my home
sometimes i hold my breath for the dream
that is no less real than life
and the cocoons of questions
remain bleeding as i witness
a glitch in imagination
no stitch in time
i live the entire life to realise
there was nothing i could say was
mine!!!

abstract

primitive analogy

2005-05-30T11:50:00.000-07:00

about to hit the sack

a question crept aloud

a thought beleagured

left me astonished

revealing like whirls of calm waters

as i glimpse the depth

the reason sinks deeper

the stretch of sky is empty

in voids of time and traits

how can finite grasp infinite?

how can darkness fathom light?

facing the mirror

i was watching myself

and the analogy stirred me

how can 'i' and 'myself'

exist on seperate reference

how one complement others presence

we dont live in carpentered world

but in circles rolling out

operating on frames

with a change,the only thing

which has always been "constant"

a grip on mystery

a shocking halt

ONE consciousness gripped creation

and drowned it in the fluid

we are the mimickery of

consciousness and creation gelling together

it was my reflection in the mirror

primitive thought ,a gift of dawn

held my rocking mind to rest

sleep the cousin of death

younger and cozier in wrath

like death it invigorates to a new dawn

silence had loads of communication tonight

guiding me to penetrable untouched depths

life happened and continues to do so

reason kept me floating on the surface

for now i begin to sink to the depths

of enormous love and life and grace.......

handicaps

2005-05-29T22:28:00.000-07:00

the life comes to a crossroad

once again a glance back

dream peeps through the window

for i bid farewell to thee

the cozy cuddles of yore

as i depart from core .

frolics of childhood dilemmas

why am i a victim of nostalgia

when i knew i could not dream

why i relished their frailty?

creation has discrimination in its bosom

and i plead guilty

for being born as a girl

no identity , no integrity , no sanity

not even a master of my own destiny

i kept sailing against the tides

i bid farewell to thee oh illusion!!!

for i thought i am strong

i was as usual wrong

essence of change and procreation

the veils kept on changing

story of a women remains the same

with titles differing

and i would be a lost book too

in the pages of history

and will vanish with a heart stained

to be born

"AS A MAN AGAIN"

shades of grey

omega choked alpha

2004-12-10T01:44:00.000-08:00

scintillating summers spark mystery

wonder draped in ten fingers

the gaps between more crystalled

pregnated with wonders of intrigue

what's ignored in cloaks of thunder

mystique agony crunched and caged

anger unanswered from clawed pain

wheeling charismatic sophistication

drooling dripped timeless honour

bleeding intellect unchained desire

a pacific desire a phoenix blunder

olive innocense lost in ordeal

masked purile chorus utters

dogmas and distant trepidations

illusion, illusion everywhere illusion

closed eyes , closed hearts, closed perceptions

appealing emotion bleeding reason

sumptuous unattainable sensations

an atheistic view on ongoing degradation

rotten bodies and stinking graves

deadly jettison chorus echoes

world zooming to silent suffocation

gamble now comes to an end !

god bless .

lie !!!!

2004-11-20T21:21:00.000-08:00

why are you so strange?
why your strangeness
gives you so much strength
wearing black yashmack
black as the darkest night
when you know the battle is lost
why do you fight?
so you really think
that you can hide
there are laws of nature
that will make you abide
you decieve the womb
that nurtures you
ashamed are the ones
who embraced you
millions of you can't
carve an iron identity
you cant shake
the foundations of reality
those who befriends you
get deserted by all
wherever you go
your siblings follow
and when the true light
comes face to face
whether it's month's ,day's
or hour's chase
you and your likes
can't decieve this light
from the day you are born
till the day you die
you lose your run
no matter you yell or cry
you disgusting , dejected and dreadful
lie!!!!!!!!!!

bonjoure!!!!!!!

one poem i jus could not complete :(

2004-11-18T20:34:00.000-08:00

Listen to this heart

as it sinks tonight

i felt it crying for you

i felt it vying for you

these eyes have never seen you go

when the dreams are

on the look out for you

you never cared to

even look back at me

for i have never been

your priority....

i am an ocean of love

but you cant drink me

i am your glimpse in the mirror

but you cant hold me

i am the heart thats pumping life

in your eternity

how can you even forget me?

you can run you can hide

but you can never escape me

i am waiting on the road

you left me

to tread to your ultimate destiny

but all your roads

would come back to me

you would find me waiting

for the twilight

when the sun of your life

would set on me

for you i would face

every drudgery

for your heart would know

i am calling you

you would see my face

in every stranger you meet

you would feel my body

in cold or heat

i am your today

i will be your tomorrow

i would be the warmth to ease you

from the chills of grief and sorrow

every dusk would remind you

of the evading night

you cant alone fight

like the melting candle of your room

i would burn to get you out

of dark dungeons of life

will hold your hand

to prevent you fall

that would be my last call.....

come back till i am caged in this body

come back till this rage is in custody

and i know you would

come back to me

that same road would be empty

and would find me

beneath your feet

turning to ashes

still lovin you ..never leavin you

irrespective of you

if i am not there besides you

you would be day without night

you would be strength without might

you would be fire without light

i complete you and you complete me

and without you

this poem wd be as incomplete

as me....................

innocence undefined

Return To Cradle

2004-11-16T08:15:00.000-08:00

A biwitching smile tells it all
the innocence gripped with charisma
cherish the pellets of life
in its own mediocre comprehension

an estranged reality burdened
by multifarious colours
and the seeds of novelty
on the bed of conventions

there lies those glittering eyes
searching for some meaning
out of these meaningless contours
but a placid faith that arrests fear
and returns laughter for every tear

rid of the craps of his world
lies the innocence in the cradle
beneath ignorance lies the greatest knowledge
and that deadly magnetism
with its alluring hold
grips the known and unknown alike
towards the radiating divine love

and the infectious pleasures
drawing from the observers
those tiny fingers gripping
what they can hold
and not what they can save
despite post natal handicaps
the smile never deserts that charming face
for a faith on entity
that has bubbled this creation
from the fluids of awareness

this world of corpse without dead bodies
this garden without flowers
these temples without idols

and yet those eyes bear hope
and bosom immesurable love
in melodious drummings of heart
that sings the praises of the almighty
a gratitude in solitude
for it knows its not alone
and so laughs on its own

take off those crowns of inflated egos

and throw the ashes

of burned kingdoms of sadness

and oceans of tears

on the beds of guilt and fear

and obsessions of sex and aggression

return to the cradle of innocence

return to where u belong

and not where u have reached

in meaning and essence..........

with love...................meetu

the masked man

2004-11-15T22:16:00.000-08:00

dreaming about you
i am walkin in the rain now
flashing street lights
and blinding skyscrapers
piercing gazes and hazy chases

the purple sky
flashes glory
of the love
it witnessed over centuries
wet under its tears
i felt the pain of loving

the woods called me
to embrace
the shivers of the wind
and the musings of the wild
replies the departin stream
i care no consequence
if you want to learn
learn the patience i bosom
for my love for the ocean
come witness the reunion

the barren deserts
preached glazing truth
i do not rebel the change
of the mad winds
in return for the promise
of togetherness
through thick and thin

an isolated sky
and the land draped
in the whites of snow
the chill of breeze
and the deafening silence

and then...............

i saw you
you looked in my eyes
the sky was still
the dunes waited
stream paced down
that look in your eyes
and all my question ceases

i had you and you had me .....
that dance that night
with every fragrant delight
i would not like to lose that sight
that memory fills me with music
and the feet move to its rhythm
and the unconditioned smile
somebody hold my heart
beatin for you and you alone
waitin for you and you alone
for i could never see you
i have always felt you
i know we are meant to meet
but when is the catch
will wait for you
till my last breath.....
oh masked man...

life is upside down

..........ga ga over Ganga...........

2004-11-06T20:13:00.000-08:00

the dancing sunbeams
are telling something
to your sparkling beauty
untarnished glories for centuries
you have been the mecca
for the wanderers of peace
like sulking clouds
unaware of the destination
they thought to reach.........
nothing could challenge
your territory and charisma
you stood the test of time
and hummed an ancient rhyme
while piercing this saintly land
pumping life in barren sand
glittering stars on your robe
and the touch of your chill
ran through me like a sensational thrill
enlivening every dead entity
in my petrified body
melting it like a wax
and bewitched at your abundance
from dawn to twilight radiance
under the purple sky
guarded by those giant greens
that alluring breeze
whispered an unchained melody
a fragrance unpossessed till date
i wanted to cage it all
i felt your love cascading my hair
running through my breath
and i knew i cant cage you
for you belonged to every bleeding heart
that has longed for a lonely laugh
i take this calm along with me
wherever i will go
i know you will follow
and so i sit on my knees
and to your love i bow............

lady ! stop thinkin from the heart
the more it explains
the more it complicates
a life of one time
one beginning and one ending
and one CHANCE.......

A flickering lamp
in a remote corner of my room
flashes of starlight
and a lonely window
i try to breathe
and i try to laugh
i try for things
that dont even require trials......

that night i kept drenching
in emotional rain
and stormy pain
the love i get
chains me and is loaded
with pity
too heavy for even gravity

i have become an open book
everyone reads it his own way
some try to flip pages
some go on reading
some even forget the title
while others try to edit

all i ask for is space
to breathe to feel free
and to escape
this drudgery
searching for that loneliness
that fills all voids

hey world!! i am ready
for your wraiths and questions
i alone can solve your puzzles
when i gather nothin
will have nothin to lose
would be answerable to none
i want to be alone
all so alone......

treading on the sawanna's
gazing at the alps....
snaking through nile..
trailing through sahara sands
delving depths of marina trench
drenchin under seattle clouds
clasping florida sea waves

and i touched the window pane
i was gazing through
returned to my couch
holdin cup of coffee
still feeling the pour drummin aloud
for i want some sleep now
listenin to enigma entangles ......
i lied on the laps of sleep....
with a prayer on my lips
at least.....
promise me that you will never leave!!!!!!

call of the ocean

2004-11-05T11:24:00.000-08:00

the dying waves on the shore
touching my feet
with the warmth
so dynamic and so pure
approaching from far end
to bid farewell dawning close
to teach without words
a detached attachment
with other waves
departing one by one
saying good bye
with a promise to meet again.......

this lesson fell
like a tear from my eyes
and the wave splashed on my face
to feel no sorry for them
they are not gone for ever
at the beck and call of mother nature
to return ....
with even more love
in their bosom....

the ceiling of clouds
the bed of sands
the miracle of winds
so full of life and 'you'

i close my eyes
never to let go of 'you'
and never to see anythin
more divine than this
one mother and her eternal love
manifested variedly
to take care of us
to share our sorrows
to relish our joys
to endure our pain
and asking nothing in return
not even our concern...........
NOT AT ALL!!!!!!!

2004-11-04T23:39:00.000-08:00

mad waves

felt the feeling

2004-11-04T06:10:00.000-08:00

like the waves of ocean
you come and go
so dynamic so alive
so mesmerizing
the senses surrender to you
eyes dont see
what they could have
without you.......
you tread on the lanes of conscience
and veneer it round and round
the picture remains the same
but you change the frame.......

when one follows you
one knows you never stood by your word
you shake the foundations of virtues
and drill the walls of awareness
for no one knows where lies the catch
but one wonders
had you been constant....
would this world be more sane?

for it would rot and stink
for you add colours to the being
but one thing that doesnt give a dime
to your enormous designs
is the mighty TIME......
that would always betray you
on the truth of trinity

now i realise your clue
for i am the master
it was never you
you chained my awareness
and denied me access
to the transparency
that lit on its own

you relegate rationality
to the backgound
for i will cherish for long
the treasure i have found
for now i laugh through my heart
and i dont need you anymore
for i have learnt to adore
every present i am meant for....
with the time wheeling
i command you to surrender to me
oh FEELING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dead night

2004-10-24T21:07:00.000-07:00

dead night

on lovin the DEAD

2004-10-24T04:23:00.000-07:00

couched in the dark
gazing at the still
of air , of clouds and of chill
not a single flutter or tappings
in my silent musings
my longing for you grows
like a barren land's
towards pregnated skies
with the glittering jewels
in the midnight hour

oh! this pain of waiting
and the ticks of clock
with morning chasing
all gone with those first rays
the dreams you hold dear
are gone with the winds of illusion
and frets of temptations

your share of dreams
had stayed all night
in casino ,stretched roads ,and dirty drives
the hidden face of shame
wearing veils of night
lying on the couch
fiddling with the remote
how i wished
to control my world
to switch it on and off

i lost all my keys
and locked are the answers
to the question i ask
to the future
through the past
and this present splash
sandwiched between the two

another night passed
without your voice
the dream too are left
with no further choice
sleep dashed off the window
looking for you
in casino ,stretched roads and dirty drives

anything for that one moment with you
in the rain , holding hands,seeing the night die
staring at your last image
my eyes have have gone dry
now they hardly ever cry
for a compromise with pain
for then i would stay home
wrapped in your love
never to return
to your GRAVE again.............

shrieking silence

2004-10-23T22:36:00.000-07:00

the silence of night
is adorable
the calm of winds
is laudable
the silense of man......
is questionable

when a brohter is beheaded
and a sister is ripped off her dignity
we talk about equality ,peace and prosperity
cos the day here is chill
and night is still numb

till we dont hear
the shrills of misery
we think life is green
till we dont feel
the pangs of hunger
we think world is prospering

we close our eyes
jus like the dove
on seing the approachin predator
and think it is not there

the sacred texts have turned
bibles of terror
we will all be left with
the destruction and fretter
the death will dance
on the grave of deception

this silence be not misunderstood
its the lull before the storm
time would lose its grip
on the laps of eternity
for us to see our destiny
doomed in darkness for us to reap
what we have sown,
for generations to come.

we gift them blood and hatred
we snatch their smiles
we rob their innocense
on our false pretence
that we care for the world
behind the masks of
stinking selfish existence

ignorane is what we suffer
and what we preach
why do we watch with
our eyes open
and tongue stitched??????

the sretches of
deserts of hopelessness
and oceans of arrogance
takes a backlash
who would you safeguard
when your own people are killed
with your own bullets???

speak up!!for the time is ripe
to grip it in your hands
and hold it tight
or else it 'd be too late
to count on fate
for the world would be left with
jus HATE HATE AND HATE....

friend vs lover

2004-10-22T23:31:00.000-07:00

when friends become lovers
time has lost a war
for the test of perseverance
is won by love
love is hidden but never lost

when love blossoms
no chords are struck
no sound is heard
no words are spoken

when the moon is
more beautiful than ever
friends are going to become lovers
love is no infatuation
for infatuation is saturation

frienship gives and love expects
the greatest miracle happens
life itself straightens
when love turns illusion and friendship
give way to fusion.......

keep lovin

2004-10-22T07:54:00.000-07:00

my naked eyes were watching
the setting sun
the beauty beneath
the burden of question

why is this life such a blunder
everything is known yet we ponder
blood no longer ties you
and a passing smile holds you forever

i stare again towards the glowing pain
of the parting sun
for i knew i earned a day of life
for which death will strive

love is no mystery
it is being
it is you and it is me
my chase for love ends here
for i know this chase will never end
for it should have never began

if there would have been pockets in coffin
i would possess the world
but i know this act would come to an end
a new audience a new cast
but u r never alone at last

so keep lovin and keep livin.. :)
