revolution

The start of something

A revolution 

Is one of many

Only solutions.

The world may believe

In devolution 

But the only way

Is evolution.

fighting superstition

Now, consider the case of pets dead,

If you jog your memory then you will get

That animal sacrifice, a thing of the old

Is a black magic person's power shown.

So hundreds of sweet felines, canines 

Were served up in the name of good 

To blind and sever the very fabric that holds

Our faith in ourselves, God and our hold.

Many fighters to fight this superstitious trend

Have also gone before us, let's not forget;

So to scare the shit out of us all

Some dear dear creatures also we lost.

a thing to consider

In this world of total pretence

There are men who lay down

Their lives in the end.

An important thing to consider

Is that Osama watched 

Tom and Jerry too.

You find it difficult to believe?

Well, it's not a lie 

For if you try

It will appear on google too.

So soldiers wield guns,

And so did this man,

Who is worse,

Us or them?

Well, the worst for me

Is the man who heaped gold

To cause this peaceful war

For which lives have been torn.

He didn't pick up a gun

Or say such a word

Because in his capitalistic world

Capital punishment does exist.

Premium G

There was once a man, he called himself free,

Premium was his name and in his heart he was G;

He talked of amassing a heapful of gold

And they tore him down for they couldn't be sold.

He quietly went incognito and yet prepared 

Himself for mapping technoloG to spread;

Now, think for once in this jokeful sarkar

Who was once premium and now doesn't utter a word?

We the rulers

It started with a group of crazy sycophants

Probably not hand-in-glove, but able to stand

This close-eyed, wrathy sample of a man

Who wove lies to be told to usurp the land,

This land from where once we arose

This land that's ours which we composed

This fresh, now concrete, smelling soil

That we, we, we sunk into and toiled;

This story lest we forget

Of how the stars showed us

Two of a mind, but separate,

Brought down together as two crumbling vacant towers;

Now, somehow I believe in this alignment of the stars.

So I appeal to this glittering sand of god

That to see this we witnessed again jalianwallah bagh;

Never again may honest, earning men

Have to exchange their blood to later repent;

Today, even though a brainwashed mass

Says this is wrong, as citizens protesting is not our task!

I pray that as my land again awakes

Tomorrow it's children will never ask

If we played a hand, and all wore a mask?

In this land which they say is built on prejudices

May we never again, forget our right to rule

As the cultivators of this soil, not silent mules.

-- clearly inspired by Rabindranath Tagore (Amra Shobai Raja)

victory

Today, I am numb, but awake

The kind of wakefulness

That let's me play charades

With shadows, forgiving

As the shell breaks

And slowly I stand

Tall, but so small

A voice

But no noise

For the sweetest

Words

From these lips

Today

Seem like

A cry

A massive cry

Of human revolution 

Surrounded

Surrounded

Surrounded

By shattered boundaries

Even though

The station is low

It is now

Or never

Each in his own

But common

In intent

Good or bad

Sad or happy

This is victory

Victory for all.

My land of no fear

The lies we told ourselves yesterday

Are transformed into the one truth today,

Now, never again, never again

Will the lie be weighed as such,

Never again will there be yesterday's pain.

Today, from just a few weeks past

We carried the hatred from that lie in our heart

That melted into  a loud sweet melody

Just this moment. Noted for eternity.

But lest we forget in today's Joys 

The truth Dawns, and we bust sinister ploys,

 The heavy burden carried off our backs

Let's remember the cost of a well-told lie.

Because now again it has already begun

The mongering of falsities that were then spun 

Let's hold this moment, etch it clear

That the truth prevails in my land of no fear.

I was walking by the road

I was walking by the road today,

A temple, a church, a mosque

All within arm's sway;

I thanked my lucky stars to god

Of what secularism my country has got.

There sat in line young boys and girls

With myriad flowers In baskets left,

I kept my word to those children and availed

Ten rupees worth of flowers for myself to pray.

Quite absent-mindedly after paying my due

I took one petal and crushed it in my hand,

And one young girl with a twinkle in her eye

Said: "They smell sweetest when crushed, try again."

But if we had not built places to worship

And carried the prayers all in our heart

That petal on that flower wouldn't be nipped

From its bud, and we'd pray to the flower.

on an ordinary day

In November we saw some rain

Through June July so on

But December is not the same.

In January my heart was broken

I mingled around till it was stoken;

In January next year I hope to God

There's no disruption to this December cloud 

Of fumes, not golden, a bleary sea

Through to December 2050

I hope for a better we.

I did not know in Jan what 

December would bring

But in 3060 I know

Humanity will sing;

The hunger today that causes us pain

Will then be just like last month's November rain.

oh man

Why oh man do you slight me so

Like my dreams are few, with no gusto

If you could gaze into my heart

You would see it doesn't shoot a man's dart.

If ambitious you want my money

If not so you want my gunny

To clothe may be your shiny slack 

To keep you warm and have your back.

Oh man can you not see

In your mother, your sister, your daughter may be?

That a woman's heart is not as you understand 

It has more wildfires than yours so bland.

my father

My father dearest so born in me

He drinks like it is symphony

His jokes are icy, icy cold

He fears the worst and is yet so bold.

He lingers on for love's sake

Knowing not it's his to take

Never grudging but silently resenting

He thinks quietly, minds reading.

If my father could be exchanged for another

I'd know no breath and would have no tether

The anchor that holds us so deep

Like in a ocean not always placid.

perversity

The perversity that has hit us all!

Beyond dignity, knowledge-bound,

We make no more a serene friend,

Because our humility is always a question.

We seek more dough

But do we know

That perversity 

Is at our door?

The meaning of sacrifice

What is another word for love?

I understand now it's sacrifice:

It means never covet another's gold

Or another's wife

For beauty lies as you know

In what is beholden

And not what's in store.

We each our born with our lot

To hide our pain as joy is sought 

Even strife and challenges in the final bout 

May mean you have been saved from a rout.

We each love and stay attached

But to love all, do you know the joy in that?

As you ceaselessly make your owner's dream your dream

Never complain, never retreat.

my ever-virtuous mother

My ever-virtuous mother

As pure as the virgin herself 

Sweet and of a heart like gold

Burying her pain in the depths

Of sands so I and we may rise.

What sacrifice is this mother sweet

Why do you pain me so

When our minds do meet

Humble, sweet and yet so strong

I owe the blimp of virtuosity in me

To my ever-virtuous.

I love you.

nothing to none

We owe nothing to none

As much as the sun

Shining on and on

Free only when

You owe nothing

You become

The discord

The entity

The harmony

Of nothing

That is everything

Nothing to none.

father in me

The father in me has died today,

Oh what a terrible loss

For if I had to choose right from wrong

The father in me now is lost.

A woman may not be That One

If a man leave her crumbling by the side

So the father in me has died today

Because from the dust I rise.

Bit by bit like woven tapestry

I nurture the mother in me

But what a mother without a father

Tied in chains, closely tethered;

I severe that cord today

To keep something alive 

And more and more empty I become

Because the father in me has died.

crows

As I walked on to the road

I saw a flurry of feeding crows

I walked into them

And each flew in it's own direction

According to it's own dereliction 

Knowing not that I was here

To offer some more feed

But the coast was clear.

Wanderbug

Wondering and wandering are closely linked words--

A wondering mind leads to a wandering mind,

And to it's great benefit and virtue does incur

A life filled with all of it's kind.

A wondering mind, a curious thought,

Questions existence, nature, 

nurture And is fraught 

with a wandering existence

That unto this day

Philosophers could not parlay.

And there came prophets high and low

Asking us to conquer the senses

And never grant the mind furlough,

Resting in something divine

The mind will rescind

All the wondering wandering curiosity

That rules the jungle and prophecies.

I wonder if I'm ready to give up

My wonderbug, my wanderbug 

And face my future 

And face the past

For what I think now

Will always last.

So it's crucial for me to wonder today 

If my piqued interests should hold more sway.

The myster of why

We are all lost

In this mystery

Why we do

What we do

Wherefore we go

Or why we know

Or why we should

Or why, why, why

Not when and when;

What is this mystery

The truth of which

Dawns on us

From time to time;

It must be true

To ponder on this

Mystery

Or else

We wouldn't--

Why we do

Where we go

And why?

Buddhe

Oh well-adorned, not wanting more raiments,

You talk as though you have seen all aliments,

Yet you taste not viands, or anything macabre,

And people slay you with tooth and sabre. 

To seek your way must it mean

That I must also always glean

The virtues that you have accumulated 

And see forth what today has prepared?

Your mind still, your eyes at peace,

How do you seek the way oh great one!

moon-filled day

On a moon-filled night as today,

Life still and placid by the waterway,

The reflection of a silver waxed coin

I wade in through and try to catch.

But this is no moon of yesterday

All elegant and arm's fully wide,

The water has rippled and I have shaken,

Now it seems like such a moonless night.

A friendship lost

A friend you are, friends are we

But you chose her over me

For this small journey.

I gaze into the past 

When all I have known

Is that friendships do last

And you are never alone.

A love that has gone

As the waves disappear,

A love never to keep

So never to adhere

To, friends that are lost

Because you chose her

Over me, what is what was

That new friends I call near.

A life of beliefs

This game of life and the way it plays
Is all about the beliefs we hold in our stead;
We think a little thing and believe
And that becomes our destiny.
For once I thought I'd like a shoulder to lean on,
A love to nurture and a voice to hear songs,
I got that and now lo and behold
This belief was not fully tapestered,
I realise that today because all I do now
Is lean on his shoulders and frown,
So now I believe I will take the future by storm
And accept no defeat come sun or cloud.
But does every belief have a black hole
And a silver lining together, I havent been told.
But I'll work and believe in myself from today,
That's more worthy a thought, what say?

Worn

Nobody understands my pain
And it seems that it would only rain,
Your pride don't you see how it kills me,
Your restless banter, your shouting and screams.
I wish this brain had not gone so numb,
From being treated harshly and so dumb,
I wish only you had understood when I was born
That I am different then I wouldn't be so torn.
My parents desires are not my own,
A great teacher once to me told,
But my kin burden me with desires so
That I am numb and dumb and oh so worn.

Proposal

I am excited thoroughly
As you make this proposal to me,
But I've missed the bus now
As without me the spectacle must go on.
Your lover, your friend departs
And in her stead I come in,
What's the point of this theatrical piece
And all this dancing and this singing?

By the vegetable market

I see you by the street side
Vegetables and flowers before us;
You ignore me as if your heart had cried,
I must have caused this suffering I'm sure.
I can't cry anymore but I'm trying to be kind,
As for the reasons, them I cannot find;
I wish we could hug as before and take
Some vegetables for the lunch you would make.
I'm sorry I cut you off,
We are strangers now.
It's 9 PM.
Too late to be by the vegetable market.

Elevator of life

Down, then up I go
Hands full in
The great elevator.
I've painted many
Colours on the
Canvas of life,
But tears flow down
My heart cut with a knife.
The bottle is empty
And now it has broken
And to the truth of loving
I have awoken.
The men trample on
Their women in need,
When all they do is
The children feed.
I balance these wonders,
Heal the bruises in my heart
As this elevator of life
Goes up and down.

Elevator of life

The old woman off her path

The ugly woman who no one sees
Turned her head today and smiled at me;
She is no ragpicker, she talks to herself
And sits by the temple and rings the bell;
From where she gets her meals I don't know,
But yesterday at night by the zooming cars she snored;
I spoke to my tootie flootie friend about
Her yesterday, and he seemed to sound
A little in despair over my unending interest
In this old woman who talks
To none but herself and god.
I wish she'd open up her voice to me,
For I know even she has a story and a destiny.
So I told my friend "God I don't know,
Why I chose you over her to give me company so;
It goes such that I witness her going about her day,
But I sit over a beer and hear what you have to say."
I don't know why my friend thinks I'm off my rocker today,
Or may be he doesn't and is just showing his care.
But as it rained hard tonight after my beer date,
My thoughts went to the old woman friend by the bend.

Angry deity

How have I angered the mighty deity
That in your hand you hold more ghee
And in my hand I simply hold
A morselful of that delicious prasadam.
Oh deity, I have no faith in you
But you may have existed
Some time and are no more new.
I believe in things more contemporary,
So deity don't be so angry with me.
You are a God but so are we,
Why don't you bestow on me this prophecy? 

Lazy

Lazy lazy everywhere
That makes you dazy
And with no care;
You go about your hazy
Thoughts because you are lazy
You have no doubt.
Most say this is
No way of being
But you know what
I'm only seeing
In my mind's eye
If I can work
Things through because I
Never want to misconstrue.
But is this no way
Of really living,
To think of forgiving
And only giving.
I urge you my
Not so lazy friends
To tell me why
So lazy I became.

Tomorrow

I believe that tomorrow I will soar
And hear calls around with a lion's roar,
Tomorrow I believe that all will be well
And many heroes will in my life swell;
I believe tomorrow I will be kinder still,
Tomorrow I will hold all at my will,
Today I do just that but well
You dont see me so you cant tell.
Today you may think that I am stuck,
But I prepare for tomorrow as I sit duck.
I've paved the way because tomorrow I believe,
Will be the best day as today is despite the perceive,
Because today I have conceived my tomorrow,
I know I'm happy today and abandoned sorrow,
So I beg you, urge you that just believe,
Tomorrow will be the best as I just did.

Inertia

The many mazes I must traverse
In circumstances most adverse,
This inertia that has caught me so deep
Causes me to only sleep.
As little by little the river gushes,
I must little by little ignore the mushes
And push against the tide and more
So I can reach the other shore.
Little by little I will find the outlet
And release myself from this maze unless
You had caught me then I would never know
How this inertia has caught me so.

Dark and deep and black

I look inside a vacant hole
That's dark and deep and black
It reminds me of the strength that leaves
And all that I may lack.

I'm continually reminded of drawbacks:
It's dark and deep and black;
You may think that the strength leaves
But all that fortifies I stack.

Time may be precious and I have little left
Cause it's dark and deep and black;
I didn't mean to hurt you, I meant the wishes;
Can't you see it's dark and deep and black.

When what we do we doesn't

I don't know if I'm qualified to say
What you might and what i may.
I don't know wherefore you go
And what you do, but success is not far
That at least you must know.
I'm grappling with troubles but
Enough of all that, what troubles
Beset you, and what you do doesn't:
That's a fact. I within burnst
More and pain, what is it I can do
Some one said you were playing so
I fell into a trap and now talk we mustn't,
What can we do, when what we do we doesn't.

You and me

You and me?
You and me.
You and me...

For you

I love him so,
But he doesnt answer
My calls anymore.
I wish he'd just understand
That all I want is
For him to love me back.
I may have slighted him,
I may have hit back,
I wish and only wish
He calls me back,
He loves me back.

Love never dies

What is the nature of love
If I may ask?
It never dies
It always lasts,
It transforms:
Becomes better,
Sometimes worse,
But love is way more than
Eyeing a tiny purse;
Love never dies,
But it's for us to see,
If its flames we kindle,
Or set free;
Love places us
In such quandaries,
But its here to last
Since the distant past.
So my friend
I've now set you free
So you may fly.
My love for you
Will never die.

When you are angry with someone

When you are angry with someone
You are actually angry with yourself!
Did you know that you pithy lesser mortal?
May be you made a fool of yourself
Or you misjudged clear signs written
In stone for you by the wayside.
When you are angry with someone
You really hurt only yourself!
Did you know that you pithy lesser mortal?
How low have you fallen?
Oh! What have you done!
Abandon this cacophony,
Let down your guns!
When you are angry with someone
A kind thought, a thank you,
A sorry even may be can call it truce.

Ladder of life

I climb down the pink ladder of life,
But I'd rather just be your wife,
The room is empty with strife
And the suitcase is empty undenied.
Where are you headed now?
In the vacant space you look forlorn;
I'm pained by the foreboding
But it's to you that I am looking.

Kisses for you

It has been a while since we've spoken
And I want to wrap you in my arms,
You don't know how torn and broken
I feel, teary into nights and until dawn.

I wish you would call me and say
The three special words I longed to hear,
I'm in love with you that's a given
I want to lap up all your tears.

It's been some time since I've known you
And you've floored me every time,
I began to feel that what is true
Lasts, and now I'm eating humble pie.

I want to smother you with kisses,
And smell your sweet smell into eternity,
Will you please forgive me my deary,
I've had enough of being so teary.

Why did I slap you?

Why did I slap you?
I don't know:
May be it was because
You were smiling at my anguish
And agony, and saying falsehoods
To my face.
I was a bit rattled already;
I'd never raise my hand,
I wish and only wish
That you would understand.
I miss you sorely
But you have moved on,
I wish that you had heard
The painful song,
Then playing in my heart;
I want to caress that cheek,
Now I'm so meek,
To forgive myself
Is all I really seek.
You have left me
And for good,
I wish you all the best,
Every moment we encounter
Must verily be a test.
Know that even though you are far,
My eyes see you near,
I wish I hadn't done the unthinkable,
I wish I could quell my fears.

Moonless night

It's a moonless night today
And I miss the shiny beam,
That makes sand glitter like silver
And shows me what seems is like it seems.
Yesterday it was a sliver,
Not a tiny speck, not round,
Today I must spot the dark cloud
Alone, and keep my self dusted and sound.
It's a moonless night today,
Time to turn up the lights,
And forgive myself and seek it without,
Because it's a moonless night.

Please say yes

Will you please say yes
The next time I ask you,
It seems an inordinate amount of time
Since I heard from you.

Are you fine? Are you angry?
Are you philandering? I wonder.
I wish I'd heard your voice cheery,
Chiding may be, but never asunder.

I miss the smell of your sweat
And Teas and onions on your breath,
I know you've been through a lot,
And now with me you're caught.

I miss the dandruff in your hair,
Me picking them with care,
So please say yes to me
The next time i ask you.

Free as a bird

I thought I wanted to be free,
Free as a bird,
But now our destinies,
Have intertwined and hurt.
I miss the shackles,
And the care,
What is what
That's beyond repair.
I miss the golden moments
And now I'm free as a bird,
How I long for a nest
From where I can take wing unperturbed.
No more will I hope
To be free as a bird.

Irreparable mistake

I love you dearly and
I made a huge mistake,
Will you please forgive me now,
Of course with friends you can pics take.
I was depressed and lonely,
You may not know the feeling dear,
I'm feeling so sad and I want you near.
May all the work you have undertaken
Go astoundingly well,
I dont know if I'm more shaken
Or in love, only time will tell.
I wish I could convey
What a champ you are,
I see you getting an Oscar
And me very far.
I love you and I thank you
For all that you do and have done,
If this mistake is irreparable
I'd never forgive myself hun.
I'm not feeling too good these days,
And I wish I'd told you that,
Instead of doing the unthinkable,
I wish I hadn't held back.
Tears dont stop flowing now
Because you were the one
And you always are,
Please forgive despicable me,
Please know that I am sour.
I hope you will take care of yourself
And eat and sleep well each day,
If there's anything I can do to tell you I love you
Please convey it to me and I'll do as you say.

Slap

I slapped someone today,
A dear old friend,
All he did was hide a thing or two
And we were supposed to clear the bend.
Forgiven I am not,
It's not the action but the thought,
Why oh why did my hand move?
What is this feeling so loose.
I am sorry my dearest friend,
You'll be the best till the end.

Trample

Why does man trample upon man?

Love me

I wish there were someone to love me dearly
With all my faults and all my blemishes,
Willing to get past the silly skirmishes,
I wait upon wait for someone to love me.

Distraught

I am distraught, I am crying,
This too shall pass shall it not?
Is this what I did to you in the distant past,
That's why with malice my life is fraught?
Tears rolling down my vacant heart,
I know not who is mine, who is not,
Nothing I own belongs to me,
A loveless specimen of destiny,
Today I make this vow in your stead,
I'll be more than just a damsel who is well-bred,
I'll be a rising star in the night sky,
Not today may be, not tomorrow may be,
My time is nigh.
Rise I will above your dusty chidings,
Your holding me but never binding,
Most successful, most endearing,
Even you with kindness I will welcome.
Rise I will above your beatings,
And become more than a mere speck,
A shining planet, that rules me at my beck
And call, I will be all and more. Your thinking is wrong.

Destined love

I love you so and more,
Ever ever ever more,
But what does destiny
Have in store?

Original sin

What is this guilt you carry
That makes you act so obnoxiously?
What guilt is this you bear,
Holding your ego threadbare?
Why are you so guilty,
Of what tell me now sweet
That you trample on my gentle heart
And wonder if it Is the start
Of a new golden beginning?
Watch me soar as bells do ring.

Love changes

How love changes,
Once an eternal bond,
Atrocious harbinger of transformation
Of once once fond.
How love changes,
What is this anger within,
Love must grow by leaps
And bounds, of love we must sing.
Oh! How love changes,
To be caught in a trap,
Faith in goodness
Is the justified crap.
Love does change,
I know that now,
When reeling under pressure,
One must never cower.
Love changes eternally
For once a wise man said:
Change is the constant verily,
Say why does love change?

Life ain't ugly

Sometimes life takes an ugly turn
For better or for worse,
But its surely not a fallacy
Because life is never a curse.
It means it's beautiful,
It means it's kind,
Not probable for humankind
To understand that life's ugly turn
Is never ever for a curse.

I miss you

I miss you today more than ever,
Come close here hear, hear,
I know you need to get away,
Run even may be, but please stay.
I hope you understand what agony
I put you through is only and only
Because I love you so and so.
Your outrageous rage on this day I miss,
How you call out a bluff and sometimes hiss,
Today first thing I wanted to plant a kiss
And tell you this is what it is.
You never know what paths life may take,
It's undulating course we must not break,
But even though I whine and veer,
It's to you methinks I'll always steer.
I don't know how you feel
About me, but I miss the steal
Of your glance, your outrageous rage,
I miss you more than ever today.

Happy birthday

It's your birthday today
And you haven't cut a cake,
Instead your far away some place
Leaving all that's yours at stake.

I'm sorry I know you'd called
And now must be so appalled
That I have cried and I have bawled,
You must not think missing you I'm enthralled.

It's your birthday today
And I wish you were not far but near,
May all your wishes this year be granted,
May all that sooths your ear you hear.

You are edging close to the middle ages
And I'm sure you understand
That on your special day I miss you dear,
I wish you were close at hand.

It's your birthday today,
Let's celebrate and bring in good cheer
For a happy new year,
Your wrinkles and crinkly smiles, no tears.

Im sorry

I know that i bawled
But if only for you
For whom may i have expended
These mortal sinews;
Think about it some day
Even though i was unbecoming
What would you say
If i was so stricken
By all your lovely odour
Your smile so bright and white,
Im sorry for the outrage
And i feel caged,
I had the gall,
You saw me fall,
Im no more tall,
But dazed.

Unlikely path

The goal is not far
But i do not see the path
With brambles strewn
It must be dark?
Is this the road that leads
On to my destiny?
It could not be
Such a grime-ridden dusty artery
That no moonbeam
Or sunlight can illumine,
But all other lit paths
Don't bear the sign.
So head i do
On this fortuitous path
With no trees, or water
And oh so dark.
But as i reach the very end
I see paradise at the very bend--
I've reached my goal now alas!
Now the next milestone to be crossed.

Chirping cacophony

This chirping cacophony
In my head
I fail to gauge
And instead
Undermine its melody,
This chirping cacophony
On a rainy day
With splashy contours
In words well said,
This cacophonous melody
Is gathering momentum
Today.

Date

If i could share what i cannot,
I'd still make a day of it without doubt,
Walking in circles and circles, round about
I wish us heavenly love and celestial songs.
Things sentient and insentient at our call
I wish to take you out to the ball,
And there serenade you with amorous clingings
And shout it out for a new beginning.

Not an inane sun

The sun that shines overhead,
I look and hold in my stead;
A looming ball of fire and ice,
Touches elephants and even the mice;
Its rays hold the glory of an afternoon,
Its love for earth is ten times the moon's;
The sun calls me onward as i sit and dream
A lovely tale of conquering it and being queen;
I admire it from afar,
Does the sun know,
That i exist, a lass
Who calls out its glorious name,
Dear sun you are forever the same;
Come cloud, come rain,
Come the mundane,
Nothing the sun bestows
Can be inane.

In His arms

Is my life as vast as this sea
Or a mere speck in the ocean of life,
Plundered hell i rise evermore
On this quest to not succumb and rise.

Am i merely a puppet in His hands,
A mere drop in such quantities of sand,
Or do I have a meaning to soar,
And take on life by the lion's roar.

Am i to beqeauth every hope and desire,
And these dreams that i have so much sired?
Or am i to seize opportunity as it beckons,
And calls me to see all that me strengthens?

For love does last even by this sea,
But what is it that i do not see?
What is it that catches me so off tuned
To the causes i must make to my fortune?

I love with no reason, a benign child am i,
So unforgivable have i become in His eyes?
So distraught but i choose to claim,
My destiny calling out his name.

Destiny

Im sitting here inward bitten
Of all faults i am ridden,
Success does not on the door
Of a mind filled with outward lore.

Things look up when you are fitted
With colours all and accepted
Into the folds of lively dance,
Even evil fate then does not stand a chance.

I know not what got me so near
And yet so far in deathly moors,
Trapped, but breaking the shackles confounded
On the way to my destiny that i have founded.

Storks take flight

Many of you winged creatures,
Clothed in white,
Paint such a beautiful
Viewworthy sight.

One and three and five and ten,
You look like you've made
This badam tree your den,
So when will you fly, o when, o when?

You each and every one turn south
And one turns its neck to the east,
The grandpapa urging its wingling
To flight so it may save itself from any beast.

Now, seven, now four,
I look at the door,
As I paint a brushstroke
That means gore.

Now, three, now one,
The flights have begun,
Beckoning Monsoons and more
In my city of dreams.

Not ready for the garden of joy

Many in formal taste
Stand in line
Making haste.

The luminous glow
Does not show
What is ours to know
For ours to low.

I know not whether
I'll make it through,
But I stand in line
At the end of the queue,
In circles do run many pages
For us to sumptuously cross stages.

The hour has come to see the wilderness
Was it then needed that our formal tresses
That needed no trimming in this vast jungle
Come and show us that we would not bungle;
The order goes on, I'm no more last,
Out into the gardens I make it fast.

A feast

Suited and booted,
You invite me for the feast,
What did you think when i looted
The table -- that i were a beast?

I reckoned the fare was for me
To partake and not say anymore
The conjunction of our fallacies,
For here i am, a ragdoll, eating more
Than yesterday.

So i transform now into a lady
For you have very very gallantly,
Brought the food for me to share
And i must do justice, so i do taste,
No more in pithy rugs and wastes,
Thank you for this motley feast.

Shyam

Shyam shyam
Why are you so calm?
Why do you bug me so
With your inner peace,
Is it so to have tease
Me when i want to hear
Something else, not your
Calm placid inner stare?

Please forgive me

I didnt mean a word i said,
Putting my thoughto bed
Was not easy as you can see,
Im sorry now, please forgive me.

Story

You know dear i love you so,
Your sweet heart and much more,
With you i seek to be able
To charm and calm, then why rebel.

I wish you wouldnt wear that smile
Always, and show me what miles
I tread that cause you to shed joy
Because i can feel your pain, deploy
No means, pray dont forsake me.

The pain in my being will ease
But you know, i couldnt let tease
Your bosom soul, your lion heart,
Your lovely tale, waiting to be told,
As paper is gold and more is sold,
Tending vines in the forest of your soul,
A story written in a mere inky mode.

Dont forsake my love for a trifle now,
Know you are the sweet, mellow
Music that i sought.
Believe there are better moments
We do not yet see, that will help
Us sing this melody.

This game called life

We meet and part,
What is This puzzle,
That life has thrown
Us and made us guzzle.
Would it that you never
Stay the same,
Is this how we
Play this game?
For sweeter are the kisses
When there are misses,
Progresses for a bond,
That makes us grow fond.
I'd never break a heart,
Much less yours,
But May be life is
Never ever the same,
May be this is
How you play this game.

Kiss

I don't know
Who your friend Is,
If she forsaken her
Virtues for a kiss.
I know not how long
The road ahead is
But I wish it would stretch
For an eternity.

Estranged

I'm estranged,
Unestranged,
Regular
But irregular.
I am what
You may call
The light
At the Ball
In the middle
Of the night.
I urge you all
To forget my mighty
Trip and fall,
And beckon
My surrender
In the lords
Arms.
I am sweet
Not sixteen,
I am rueful
But happy,
Even though
It's snappy,
Id do without
The furs
And coats
And live
On a moat.

Noble

I've won
A noble man
No statuette won
But immeasurable dawn.
There's no more vanity
In sanity
For quality
Propsperity
And victory
All rhyme!

Feel good

Reddit bear.
Terror in the air
Over, it's gone
My sweet
Best friend
I love you!

Look look look!

Just look,
Look look look!
Eyes open,
Ears ringing,
With a smile
Read a book
And
Look look look!

Madness wins

Gift no more,
Not a penny.
I love the sane,
Who is sane?
Madness is the name
Of this game.
If that's the rule
We are all mad!

Yush

Hush yush sing song,
No more ding dong.
Who tied the pussy
With the bell?
It must have been
A protected secret mess.
Rack Eshwar is perplexed ;
Have we won the war?
Let's say yes!

War

It's over, the war has ended,
Sickly kids are also awakened.
How we battle this Gore,
No one but this whore does know.
Please relax, there is no more battle,
Loving beings never hassle.
We fight and live
With words of Love,
Because we give no more
To the tainted;
The trainers wish is
Prohibited.
God may be on every side,
But he has forsaken this forgiven.

Just lovely

Jinnah said no,
Gandhi said yes.
This old joke
Has been put to test,
I rest my case,
I rest it, I rest it.
Lovely parsimonious
Beautiful divine.
You're lovely,
Note this down.

Love is all

Love is all
To conquer this world,
But do we care
About all that swirls
And whirls. I love
Some One. Pure hearted
And fine. With disposable
Gloves you can't taste
The wine.
No more, no more!
Let's all get out:
It's amazing,
It's great
Is gods diktat.

For a whore

The sun has risen;
No more, no more!
Shouting clouds:
Who is this whore?
No more lovely,
Karma is a bitch,
Lovely songs
Make you nice and rich!

Honesty

One could foretell
The virtues of honesty,
A truth better told
Than not told,
A veritable justly case
Of good and might
Meant for only
The old and bold.
It's a mixed emotionally
Charged epiphany,
An honest man
May foretell
The fortunes of the
Wicked and wasted
And that which is tasted
And hell.

Indian song

The crows caw
Black and common.
The crowds cheer
For Beethoven.
Pianos play
All svengalis
Who knew
I am a Bengali.
I love and live
To forgive
To devolve
Me revolve.
Let's solve
This puzzle
My friends
When I meet you
At the next bend.
We women
We men,
All equal
All the same.
Let's understand
That our evolution
Lies in resolution.
Sing a song,
Break a leg.
Lovely words
From a true friend.

Reason

I love
For a reason,
But it's
The season
To fight
For the right.
Watertight
Case.
I rest my case.
We have won!

Sad

Sad is Sad,
It's never bad,
Good is Good
Red riding hood.
You so cute,
Two winsome
Mores.
Love
Love
Live
Live.
In a storm,
A cup blew,
And they called it
A prophecy.

Honey trap

The world has become
No more ridden
With monsters
No more sweet
Is sour
In this godly hour
They perish
Like fire
To stone,
Earth to earth,
Bone to bone.

Winning streak forever

I know you are trapped
And I am free,
Is that the cause
Of your jealousy?
You look so pleased,
And I am teased,
A little bereaved
While you are peeved;
The trap-- a fallacy,
In ignominy,
Rise, awake,
Do as spake;
A lot at stake,
We shall win.

Life goes on

They've lost,
We've won.
The most,
The least.
The forgotten,
The forgiven.
But hell knows
No fury,
In the line
Of duty.
Love remember,
The fury of thunder,
The dark resonance,
Of love gone wrong.
No more fallacies,
In the line of duty.
We are out of the maze,
In a crazy daze.
This love. That love.
Life is life.
The sink in sadness,
For the morrow.
Their sadeness gone,
Long forlorn.
Love is love,
Life is life.

Laughter therapy

Numbness in the brain,
Dullness ensuing from bitter pain,
Nitric oxide in your brain,
Causes you to feign
A helpful fallacy
But if you laugh
Your daft dumb incorrigible half,
You will see bit by bit
That the reason
Has no meaning of influence,
So you go about your bitter day,
Knowing better worlds are here to stay.

India

India listen,
We know not
What the terrific
News, where was it got,
It has been bought,
No more sought,
We have won the holy war!

Cocaine

Cocaine is no pain,
The pain eases in rain,
No disdain,
For the feigned
Released in rain,
No cocaine
Eases pain.

Life is life

No demonic thought in space
Could ruin a heartfelt face
When left in a daze
The forbearing fear has no gaze,
But when fear is fought point blank
The reason is seemingly dank,
What love is then there to win
When love is love
And life is life.

Inhumanity

It was a felony
Inhumanity,
Sickness borne,
So forlorn,
The war began,
The river ran,
Tears flowed
No more
No more.

A good deed

The most important thing
Is defeat with a brave face,
And learning how to
Lose in the race.
Last but first.
First but last.
A good deed.

The final bout

Girl no gone
So forlorn,
Jumbo jet in the sky
My my my;
Family,
In the ocean of eternity.
No more crime
So sublime,
Without doubt
The final bout.

Very funny

Money is money;
It rhymes with honey,
If you find it funny
You feel bright and sunny;
It's an epiphany
For this loony
Because it's money,
It's a dummy dimmy funny
Epiphany.

Love

I love you
In the deep dark night
For in its stead
I see light instead;
I love for no reason
Your sweet
Lovely facade,
In the smoke
I give up the lark;
My darling little
I love you,
My hands shake,
The venom has spewed;
We live longer still,
Of our own Will,
All lovely suns
Of mother earth.

The melodies in my head

There are melodies playing
In my head and I would not
Have them cave my cravings
Until I lay myself in bed.
You know why? Because I'm
Growing, knowing more
For the show so
That I may play my rhymes
To your voice as they chime.

I'll kiss the sun

Oh! How I wish I could kiss the sun,
Hot and raging in helium,
Warm to me, but also scorching,
I'd tell the sun I am bequeathing
All my powers to its might
So that I may do justly right,
Think as Crystal, say as sugar,
And act with sprightly spur.
I'll kiss the sun, oh when oh when,
My mighty sun rise each day, again.

Butterfly

Does a butterfly
Flitting amidst flowers
Remember that it
Was once a caterpillar?
Does a caterpillar
Know that in the morning
It will fly away with
A new set of wings?

A jewel there

You may think I hide a jewel
That brings sparkle to my eyes,
You covet it and seek It, but if
I tell you: you live amid lies?
For what is it that you cannot find,
That will give you all of its kind,
It lies within your very blood
This precious jewel you think I've got.
You may break me with your words,
Hit me with sticks and stones,
With staves you may call me names
Of jealousy you are borne.
But there is no need to be so torn,
Or search without and become worn,
For this shining, lit veritable gem,
Is at your beckoning, at your very hem.
So channel it for I still love you,
And the love you seek is within you.

It ends well

When anxiety creeps on you,
And your breath heavy, heart stalling,
Your thoughts racing, chasing
Dreams, what keeps you from falling
Is being present in the ever present,
Tackling the issue by the horns in reverence
To the moment, and living it up,
For whatever it was will sort itself out.
Take a pause. Create the cause.
And do. Do. Do. Do justly good,
It is well understood
You need not deny
Or identify,
Or plummet to suffering hell,
Because all's well that ends well.
And it will.

I cannot fail

Many diversions come to pass,
As I stand in this vale it seems dark.
I can see a flicker shining somewhere by
That will lead me upwards to the sky.
I know the path is correct, I chose well,
But how I tread on it only I can tell.
My maker has left me to chart my course,
And I proclaim love and hope of course.
What if I don't  reach the light? The doubt dawns,
Even though I trudge, stretch and yawn.
This slumber has caught me so deep,
That I am never awake and always sleep.
So many dreams I have weaved like a cobweb,
I'll break them now lest I'm caught in their depths.
The flame is near, the wind on a trail,
Leading me to my destiny: I cannot fail.

To my twin

The say that a twin
Is hard to lead by,
Confusing, monotonous,
So predictable, so sly;
But they warm your heart so
Because so confusing it becomes,
They seek you on the word go
Whether times are good or tough.
My twin, twinning I'd be
There to back your bone;
I hope that you see
That you are not alone.

The end

Where are you trapped
My darling friend?
Run far and away
Till the next bend.
He was put forth here
For you to send
And heal your heart
But it seems like the end.
Would he forsake his vices
For your fortune to mend?
It's difficult really
To comprehend.
But i hold out my hand
But you are sad and
Despondent now,
Reaching out
Only in the final bout.
Youll find me standing
When you're out of the maze,
With arms open wide,
To rest your case.
All i have is good wishes,
And a few misses,
My darling friend
Just reach the end.

Emotion

Ye emotion badi faadu cheez hoti hai,
It makes us go blind till we are blown up
In hot air.

Let's play a game

We stand in line awaiting the whistle,
Many contenders prepared for the hustle;
Some mortified with things past gone wrong,
Some looking for just fun, dance, all along,
Wondering if they would be made to sit,
And lo and behold! The whistle does tick;
The forward pass, I tackle it slow
From the very word when you said go;
So many doubts, but play we must,
To this feeling we must all do just;
Thickening storm crowds the ground,
But we go on and on, round and round,
Your smell fills the fresh air
And mingles with every sweat and hair;
Im sure this game was played fair,
So let's shake hands, shall we, for all we care.

I refuse to stop

Wishy-washy dreams are not mine to keep,
For even if they show me a vision
They do not lead me to what I so seek.
They have me flounder in my depths,
They flagellate my senses and percepts,
They see me plunge into suffering hell
And by building illusions kill imagination dead.
No, now I seek to walk on that path,
Of mindfulness, even if I wander in the dark,
I seek to play, I seek to work, knowing fully well
That my dreams are now built on stronger stuff.
I may wonder now, and even drift,
But the foundation I build is now more stiff,
It holds me steadfast, so that I may not fall,
Even at the height of victories, or mighty flops.
I can feel the gusty wind on the mountaintop;
Why am I not blown away? Because I refuse to stop.

By the sea

Orange, pink, saffron what not,
Seagulls screeching, pulling higher fast,
Waves lash upon lash on the cold hard rock,
Like a pillar of fortitude I stand taut.

The water streaming down my eyes
Also bathe my calloused feet,
I have walked miles today and nigh
Should I cut out what I really believe.

That no maker had sought such paints,
That this self-same picture I did create,
Maker of my thoughts, maker of my life,
Some little filth, some anomalies to expiate.

That make the Sunrays lashing hard
Bruise my hard, rotten, pickled skin,
I know not forever if strength will last,
As the sun illuminates the dun and din.

But standing rooted, gazing at the orange hues,
A sweat breaking down, a tear curling down,
The waters covering, wiping the calluses
I gaze, a smile now covering the frown.

Pink dung

I'm hung, stung by pink dung;
I feel, steal a glance,
And now as we have rung
In this new time Let's dance.

Pink in the air, a Dionysian view;
I speak, wreak smoke in the air,
Even though I do seem a bit blue
I have a lot to care of and fare.

The pink dung is sweet to taste;
Let's sing, drink, fling hot balloons,
Lest this time goes to waste
And we lose time even before it's too soon.

Timescape

I'm a time traveller
Didn't I tell you every time,
Even though you're close and near
I've blocked you in my mind;
Was it just yesterday or the day before
That you professed eternal bonhomie,
But to me you're just a dark cloud
Floating by in my destiny.
You're a time traveller
Just like me, Whenever your voice does ring,
I know not if you're in my face
Or in a distant place, where clocks don't ring;
And the melody you sang me years ago
Still plays so in my ears,
But what you said just yesterday
Has blanked out amidst my fears.
So travelling time
In my mind
I know I'll see you again;
And through Sun, wind and rain
May we etch immortal
Sketches in timescape.
