Woes

WOES

Cracks can be detected in walls
Crevices can be found in bridges
Pores can be spotted in dams
Holes can be seen in containers
Flaws can be explored in structures
All with relative ease…
Compared to the
…cries of the heart
…pain of the body
…agony of the mind
…injury of the soul
& the breakdown of a human
…when eyes became professional
& individuals became opaque to…
…humanity…care…concern
…feelings…emotions…truth
…sorrow…reality…

Forgetting You

It was an arduous task
But I had to wear the mask…
Leaving behind my past
In trying to be fast…


Carrying the burden of sentiments
& juggling with amorous thoughts
Laborious to be engrossed…
From dawn to dusk


Reading the books…
I glanced through those days
Yearning for your aura
Every moment, every day


Writing the solutions…
I recoiled the pain
Persevering to inscribe
Those words of desire & delight


Walking through the path
& longing for the light
That illuminated the trail
Leaves fell down upon my broken spirit in vain


Just as I lurked in my rosy past
Stars twinkled in the gloomy eyes
That reflected my frail frame
& miracle happened another time


Overlooking the transience of days gone by
Transcendent was the luminance
That had newly arrived…
Giving me a new frame in my sprightly eyes

A Dream

A Dream

I had a dream last night

Of flying through the air

Looking down at the people

A world full of despair

Even then I found myself

Sleeping with the clouds

I felt my mind was clear and sound

Yet I felt alone and lonely

And was always accompanies by nobody

The loneliness inside me toke toll

Felt the puncture turn into a hole

I flew back, came back on the ground

And forever decided to lose myself in the crowd

Shhh...Surpise

SHHH… SURPRISE


The room was dark
…the stars bright
…the moon crescent-like
On that scary night

Noises were playing
…in the lonely house
Form trumpets to saxophones…
Yells to whispers…
Every kind of sound
…had just managed to
Kiss my anxious ears

Light eluded my patient sight
…before I saw something bright
…just to be scared at the ghastly site…
A skeleton floating adrift in mid-air

I ran in the hall
Panting & gasping for breath
…in the pursuit of relief
Just to be left aghast
…by the floating cloaks
Making my eyes pop out of the holes…

Demure & deprived of peace
I ran in the greens…
In the beautiful lawn
Under the sky
I lay on the ground…
Finding solace in the homely land

Wet I was when my eyes opened
Soaked in the watery emotions of yesterday…
Shining in the notorious eyes of my friends,
…who whined ,”It was just a PRANK!!!! ”

Dying in peace

DYING IN PEACE

Looking in your eyes
& partying all night…
Love blossomed in the dark…
& my heart started to beat fast…
Happiness had crowded all around
Dancing with you on the floor
When I heard a crackling sound
Thrashing the glass panes
Penetrating through the doors
Acidified iron had arrived
Piercing through the flesh
Gory became the scene
With fountains of blood all around
We ran for our lives…
Vandalizing every bit of time…
Living in the threat of death…
Holding each others hands
We reached the corridor
Nearing the vacant exit door…
To be halted in the way
By the hotel staff there
& looking in your eyes…
I sat unfazed, unafraid…
Little did I know
That life was shorter than
What I had believed…
Piercing through my torso
Embracing my tiny heart…
Splashing the red fluid of my life…
The bullet sent me in a trance
…sliding through the memoirs of the past
…crawling the time we had spent together
…glancing across the visages of dear-ones
& smiling at you…
In the trifle of pain
I continued to smile…
Asking you to be my valentine
I waited for your affirmation
…as I was closing on my death
Your eyes poured out
…with all the emotions
I had been eager to see
…the lifelong patient stand
Had now come to an end…

Words

WORDS

Words are more powerful…

They can soothe…

They can touch …

They can prick…

They can pierce…

They can penetrate…

They can kill…

They can give joy…

They can surrender sorrow…

They can express helplessness…

They can show anxiety…

They can worship love…

& thus they continue to remain…

The most memorable aspect of my life…

Because they engulf all that has been with me…

In my world of sacristy

…the temple of my mind

…my heart…& my soul

Time... The Doctor

TIME…THE DOCTOR

With tears in my eyes

& sorrow on the rise

Walking along the roads

I look upon my past…

Grey & dark

Down in the valleys

Where fear grows

In the shadow of black clouds

Gloom & doom spells the background

Where blooms of thorny weeds

& eroded soil rule the land

With poison in the fray of plans

Dull & draught surround the sand

Jealousy & disregard stink in the air…

Misunderstanding & incorrect conclusions

Mar the land…

Misuse & selfishness

Rob the rich forest…

Money & ego

Take away the flame…

Feelings & care hurt like flints…

Leaving indelible imprints

In the mould of my matter

…days passed by as they came…

…with each day carrying

Its own weight in the pan…

…like the raw food it needed a boil

In the vessel of mind

With the fire of thoughts

Persistent cooking made it edible

& digestible to the stomach of belief

& tongue of understanding

…days passed by as they came…

But I never knew they

Would also bring change

A ray of hope flickered upon the marsh…

& a cloud of hard work burst out

…this symbiosis had a big yield

& land became fertile

With no gravel & rock

…trees grew & bore juicy fruit…

…& days went by again as they came…

Healing the pain…and sealing

The dugout with pleasure & gain…

In the grief of the absent pain

& time played the perfect doctor once again…

Success

SUCCESS

Success is the fruit of belief

Belief is the realization of potential

Potential is the form of drive

Drive is the result of desire

Desire is the feeling for a purpose

Purpose is the meaning of life

Life is the acquaintance with time

Time is the value of death

Death is the freedom of the soul

Soul is the mirror of thoughts

Thought is the clarity of mind

& mind is the gift of nature.

Mind... Heart & Dreams

MIND…HEART & DREAMS

Every individual has three things:

Two inborn and one acquired…

An innate heart and a mind…

& an acquired dream…

In the process of life

Unfortunately I have lost two of them…

A heart lost in the battle of love…

& a dream has broken due to the loss of sleep…

So I remain a warrior armed

…with a sword-like mind

In the battle of survival of the fittest

Aspiring to conquer

The fort of my heart &

The crown of my dream.
