Truth

You can buy and you can sell
You need no money but hypocrisy
Love is just a need
Like the blind man's stick
It breaks and then has to be replaced.
Emotions are more of an excuse
Never noticed when expressed
And affects only when it hurts.
We seek more hatred and sorrow
'Coz we appreciate it more
If you are happy, no one cares.
Condolences are always meant
'Coz people fear god and death
Birthday wishes are seldom so
'Coz you are still here for your last one.
Some days are important for you
But no one bothers as its yours
Everyone does when its theirs.
There is no choice, there is no escape
You are stuck in lies and seek truth
And so you go out and do good
And you do it to create a smile in the air
And more than god you fear loneliness
You seek relationships but as a need
And then you are back to square one
What you get is what you do, its true.

Falling To Rise

And then you fall and then you rise
This fight is not for all but the wise
There is anxiety and there is grief
There is work to do in time brief
There are tiny but trillion thoughts
And inside you, your mind rots
There is failure but there is hope
And you can do without dope
There is loneliness but there is love
One day you'd see the white dove
Tough times many will come on your way
But "all for good" in the end you'll say
You would have many, not one choice
But always hear your own inner voice
I am not far but inside you somewhere
For one reason that you are here.
And then you fall and then you rise
And then you learn of this life's disguise.

A lost dimension

My dream can’t reach beyond the green valleys

And the cold northbound wind is blowing me away;

Like a rock, I stand frozen trying to hold the ground.

Imprisoned by time are some memoirs of yours

And my petrified soul is dissolving into their warmth

No conundrums and no doldrums do I see now

The melancholic meadows are effaced

And the fresh dew promise new horizons.

And still if my eyes are not meeting yours

In the priceless elegance of your smile

Will reverberate my heart’s soliloquy.

Please stay...

I close my eyes and I see you smile
And only then, you could be mine
Let this illusion stay and you leave me not
Stay with me for the sun and the stars
Its been unfair always but seldom fair too
I ask for a chance today, my apologies to you
Let this love be all yours this hour
Please stay, Let not my love be alone.

Mutton Gurda Fry

You said you can't love me. For five hundred and forty five days I have loved you and embraced every smile of yours. I am glad that all this while I could see you everyday and talk to you. I express my gratitude in these poor emotions. 

With you I fought battles and conquered myself but I could never defeat you. Because I  never wished to. A defeat means sorrow, a slave to someone else and of course without your consent. You were meant to rule  and I could have never disrespected you, Your Highness. Had you forgotten your smile, I would have died and it would have been a tragic end. My kinsmen would have remembered me and glorified my emotions, left in desuetude. Forgive them, they are innocent. You wish I stay with you till eternity and my friend I can promise nothing less. You know why? I am not done yet. Not yet. A year back it was a kid growing, as notorious as it could be and then it learnt happiness but it could never learn sorrow. There was a point where it knew suicide too but it could never learn to murder because it could not become selfish. And today, he is a big guy, expert of its own business and it fears no one. When there is no fear, there is no death. But someday, the inevitable would happen and it would die, in honour. That day, there would not be any word spoken and the silence shall serenade to every night that I see.

They say, time heals all wounds and this love is still too young and courageous to afford a wound. Time, a joke of all times. By the way, I love mutton gurda fry!

She, is dead

There is a revolution in my head
There are incessant deaths, blood all over
Every moment she dies in my heart
Not a suicide but a murder
By the foes of frolic and traitors of time
And when my eyes not often try to talk
And when I serenade to the petrified dark
I am silenced by her echoing soliloquy.

Untitled

Like me, a part of life it was for you

Till you boarded the last train to the west

The twilight gifted a heart unhealed

The moon rued and the starts silenced.

I solicited some answers from them

And the night had never been so long.

The game was unfair and I lost it.

Rules were broken, the result influenced

I was holding a candle in the cold shade

The thunders did calm my wails

But no rain did I see to wipe my tears

Neither did I see you, ever again.

I reaped my crops everyday, fed the cattle

The scarecrows targeted my lost self

My hopes, my emotions were worried

Unprepared to leave me alone, like love.

My friends, my kinfolk never deserted me

And I found no reason to do the same.

Later one day I packed my bags, and

Departed to the east, back to myself

I traveled through the green fields

I swam across the widest rivers

I crossed the deserts and the mounts

And I felt no pain, no more dejected

Days were crawling, blessed by almighty

A dreamer no more was I, just a human.

We move on, year by year close to death

I just know the time given to me today

I earn my living from dawn to dusk

For me to celebrate with the stars later.

While I never stopped, you walked with me

You gave me your hand, lifting up my spirits

I did not need you still I felt your need.

My comrade, my ally, together we fought

I learnt your skills and you followed mine

And we both were conquering everyday

Preserving and protecting our dreams.

Like two souls in a single body

Like two storks quarreling for dinner

Like two leaves of the same twig.

And in the east did the sun rise again.

And I could see you, for me always.
