Eyes

You are sweet innocence
A small child
Much bigger than em all

Rosy lips
Smile that aches the heart
Will I never have

Feel the warmth
Remain in deep recess
Put a light on it
Only pain revealed

Awake for no reason

The night has been shot
Ale within my blood
Smoke in my lungs
A song in my mind

A call that never came
Sleep that ran away
Thank you for not shattering
Peace is all I crave

Tomorrow you’ll not be there
You are never there
I’ll head home
I’ve to climb the mountains
For a bigger dream awaits me

Calling me
Come hither, climb higher
A note has to be slashed

All My Love

Woman, I love you
But what is desired of me
Is not mine to give

A force higher than me
Has claimed it all

Can I renege on a promise made
Before times existence?

Then how can what I in the present give
In this ephemeral now
Ever be true?

I need thee
It fills a part of me
But never have I even once felt
Thou art mine
In spite of being within
Engulfed by thee

You who’ve desired me
Have never felt me thine
Cos, am chained by the power
That laid the then and now and forever

The Trip

So empty
A hollowness deep within
The seemingly simple
Oh! All too sure
Has slipped out of grasp
And all that’s left
A bad taste in the mouth

What can fill that cavity?
A puff? A drag? A Sip?
The emptiness remains

The will, not within control
What is desired of me?
Why give me hope
I never did ask for it

And when arms are outstretched
To hold what’s been thrown
Why was the light switched off
Tell me the purpose

Optimism is easy to preach
But the question deserves an answer

Is this a preparation?
Then what is the final end
Do let me know
Ere I unknowingly
Move on to a path
That will never bring me back

A frame on the wall

Don’t you leave me
I know I caused pain
But a little now
Is a shot
Against a rend heart
In time to come

We be the glue
That holds the poster on the wall
Two of a kind
Been placed and replaced

The glue has lost its use
It cannot hold us together
A little of the wall
Has been left behind on us

Even the newest house
And the shiniest paint
Cannot anymore charm us
Sooner than said
The grip will be lost
And hurt ourselves we will
By landing on the floor

Blameless

Why do you blaspheme
Why do you blame
You knew the consequences
Still broke the rules

Did yah tell you
To step into the muck
Then why curse purity
For the dirt on your feet

The girl is crying, you are in pain
The world is responsible for your bane
Be a man, face the light
Fight for your right, though failure looms

System

Never letting me breathe
Like a blanket over me
Smothering me
Never let me breathe the fresh air
The all-pervading cover over me
Tied up in it
Forever enmeshed
Afraid I might escape
The trap I was caught in
Never knowing it was a snare
From whence free
No one would return
But no chain's too strong
To hold one forever
One day I did break the shackles
And did try to run
I was lagging far behind
Did try my level best
To pick up pace
And reach the mark
But years of immobility
Acting like a chain
Though not there
Still in a mesh was I
Trying to catch up
But running out of breath
Why did they do this to me
Why O why
Did you never let me breathe

Desire

Much talked about
Most sought after
Killed for, betrayed for
I’ve met you

You are nothing
You still fill my thoughts
But now I know your truth
You are not worth dying for

Not a single dream will be sacrificed
At the altar of your promises

All Alone

Lonely Once, Always!
Not lone, still all alone
In the midst of a crowd
Still no one 'round you
Teeming masses, city of millions
Going their own way, all!
We are lonely
We are scared
Can't people live their own lives
Guess it easier to live anothers
Problems tensions
On the pressure
The bubble is suffocating
I'm stressed
All you needed was a pin
To burst the bubble
And breathe

Lowly Roar

Shaken confidence
Hidden pains
Unfathomable emotions
Unreachable lanes
Lions roar
Oh so low
Made to cringe
Only hearts did sob

At the tunnel's end

Far in the distance
A ray of hope
Like a coward
Walking thro' a graveyard
What is it that gave him courage?
Is he really a wimp?
Faith is the answer
Knowledge is the strength
A beam of light
Visible, though a mile away
To reach the source
I did aim
Safe in the bosom
Of that which it precedes
There will the trembling stop
There feel secure
In your arms
O keep me safe
Keep me sound, I pray
Now, ever forever

Cogitations

Passing thoughts
Little forget me nots
Etched on paper
Come a cropper
Verse in colloquy
Mans soliloquy
Sapiens rant
Use of hands
'lusion of grandeur
Will all pander
Verbose the preacher
Fans all creatures
Hearts meaninglessness
Minds meaningfulness
Called a genius
Crime not heinous?
All ye fools Why he and not you rules?

The local

At last he's moving
Struggling hard
Almost falling
But still moving
Picking up pace
Still struggling

The long inactivity
Has taken its toll
Hey, but what's this
He has started running

Slow down you
You've miles to go
Yes, you've been left behind
You've to catch up
Then run my boy
Never fall again
Till you reach your goal

Love or Money

Love or Money
You can have one
Choose, says God

You see I'm practical
So my choice is very obvious
I'll have the money
Love never lasts

Even your money won't last
Then I'll live with my memories
You may say, love lasts longer,
The memories are better
But I prefer things tangible
The pleasure you buy, will
Always light you up
But love is bitter sweet
More bitter than sweet
Full of pain and agony
Only to realize it was
An ILLUSION
Like a dead fly in ointment
Causes even sweet myrrh to stink
Love turned to hate
Only makes one more miserable
Nothing good will ever
Come out of it
