A glimpse of life

A glimpse of life
Through the window
Each hole in the air
Your circumscribed view
A sense of déjà vu

You want to stand and stare
There is learning there
Your inner demons could find rest
Or oscillate the elements

But speed and barred peepholes
Never let you remain
Experience the peace
You will never know

Disruption

Why is rhythm not mine
Sounds that don’t rhyme
Limbs in rebellion
A call for more time
Oh! It’s so simple

An eluding shadow
Please throw some light
Has lost the touch
Will have to end

Speck of Dust

Can one drop of poison
In the vast ocean
A difference make

Can one cube of sugar
Sweeten the bitter lake

Then what chance do I
A mere speck of dust
In this world create

Cliche

Love
Such a cliché
Clichés all hate
Then why has this one
The oldest and worst of em all
Survived

Too much to ask

Is it too much to ask
My own life to live
All I want is freedom
From age old ideas

But that is all
This what I value the most
Don’t deny it God

Past Ghosts

Those Ghosts
from the Past
Slowly enveloping me
Smothering me in its bosom
Suffocating me.

How do I exorcise them!
smoke em out
drown in Madira

What had to be destroyed only grows stronger
But those valued has been taken away forever

The ghosts are breeding
clouding my mind
There is no escape
Please lemme live

There is only this once
It's my life
Why can't I have it    

Chained Freedom

wind in your hair
at 60 kph
you have been liberated
Breathe in the freedom

fear of total freedom
holds the captive back
only suffering to other
your breaking away can cause

questions there are unanswered
the answers promise eternal imprisonment
he who can spell your purpose
is he silent
has he said it all
and you never heard
capitulation at 60Kph is better
and not complete liberation

Vicious Cycle

you've drifted from the path
lost now, again
in the wilderness

joie de vivre

i am born wild brother

i am born wild

to roam this God's earth

and enjoy his creation

the vegetation and the meat

the mountains and the valleys

the oceans and the seas

the beaches and the plains

it has been willed to me

and to raise worship

that alone is my purpose

for that i live

if i like you

bury myself under needless thoughts

then the purpose of my existence

will be in vain

Home

desolate
killing the green
to lead life comfortably

caged in a prison
brick walls and bars this is home
there is a bed, a fan, a loo

comforts you think
you have been chained
emotion: the warden
jailers: the loved ones

no reprieve, no parole
the door's shut the day you are born
the only liberator, death

Mob Power

A stranger has dared enter
Our territory
A shout
There's strength in collective action

Noses flared
Eyes blazing

The cowardly individual
Has become a hero in the crowd

The outsider turns tail
Wisdom says, Run

The mob has lost capacity to think
A need for show of strength
After being battered life long
Cowed down by life

Mother

A forlorn look
Eyes Glazed
Aimlessly wandering
Confused

Breasts filled to the tip
With nourishing nectar

But who will gain
There are no takers
The life giving liquid
Has become a pain
Causing an ache
Her children but are no more

A knock

Oh, the hit on the head
Water in my hand
Did I say wrong
Hurt flows
Is this retribution through the air
The ache remains
Is it all fading away
I’ll never understand I said
Did I mean all that
All is a haze
What has been all day
Some more's been added
Clear me, I’ve confused you
I’ll await your reply

Last words

I’ve run out
It no longer flows
Thoughts I want to make
The depth is lost
Still one strives
To make
What is left me
Maybe the only one I know
The others are not sure
Oh it’s all so frivolous
Therein ends the DAY

No Clue

What does the heart desire
Does he know
He said and laughed

The converse was
Is it better to arrange?
So many decisions
Not one was made

None of the choices,
Was yours
What was told to him
And to them and everyone
The oath taken
Swore on earth and sky
All stand against
You cannot love
How can what is not in existence
Be ever arranged
To be your forever

A Twist

Happiness and joy
Shocks and sadness
All in a day
That is life

Acceptance
Does it really help?
That jolt was electric still
But no pain do I feel

How long will continue
The search for another
When self inflicted norms
Traps one in shackles

Will breaking free from it
Provide any solace
Won’t you have to live
With the indignity

A life full of loss of word
And the, you said this
Where is your pride
Will misery set in
How can you forget remembrance

A Message

Love you guys
Thanks ok for coming…
Cleared my head
Little bit from all
That’s happening…
Muuah!

Don’t love too much
And don’t demean us
by heartless thanking
such a request,
we’d to be there

really love you all
truly kinds
just running high on emotions…
so wanted to thank you…

ok ok
thank you accepted
I’ll never understand you

Never understand? Why?

Oh forget it
Am in a haze
And talking gibberish
Ignore please

Cheap Love

When the news broke
Why was I startled
Had I not written
At the very beginning

The advice to take
What was offered me
Did I not preach against
What was bound to happen

The cheapening
That I canot fathom
And the revelation
That set the reporter to thinking

From mild depression
To reaching the nadir
No reprieve
Cos justice has been dealt

Across the seas

Was it a coincidence
That call from across the seas
In a like situation
Only enduring more anguish

Why did that seeker
Promised goodness for life
To whom you shewed kindness
Could have not one joyous day

Why do one meant to rejoice
Cannot obey your bidding
did a wrong occur
That takes me away from you

He who does not want you
That I do understand
But why only sorrow
To one whom you were all

When the news broke

Where is the passion gone?
I crave for you
For that fulfilling experience
Why is it denied me?

Is it!!!
Am I …
Have I rebuffed???

My being was yours
Nothing can fill
The all-encompassing emptiness
Spells the truth

Have I not the requisite all
Another would desire
My search for more
Is the answer, I’m for you

Why do you not take
Show me what you want
Then would my wandering cease
And rest I would find

Have I lost forever
Do you find no place within
Despite knowing, my foolishness
Has it cost me my soul?
