A beautiful lie
A tiresome truth of a generous life
A beautiful lie of a dreamy mind
The restless eyes of a thirsty soul
Seeks for some unsaid answers to unroll
What if it's not a "true"?
Is it a Sin or is it a Virtue?
Am I suppose to live or die?
Why do I sink when they say I can fly?
Let me levitate through all these days and all these nights
Let me invade the destiny and shackle it to be mine
Le...

The truth
From the dream
Across the sand
From the sea
Between the Land
From the laughter
Twinned with the tear
From the distance
That resides so near
From the pain
That tastes so sweet
From the broken wings
Of all flights so deceit
Calypso seeks exoneration...
A sleep in concealment
And an eternal separation
From her deceiving heart..

Melancholy
A midnight melancholy
Rolling down
The old cold stream
Hesitant to trust
The existence
Of her very own dream
An obscure night dressed in a symphony
Passing by
The tale of two lost cities
Reluctant to believe,
The existence
Of all mortal adversities
And far across the great seas
A world awaits to be revealed
To see the first ray of life
To feel the first kiss of her lov...

Forever Spring
I may be deep in my hibernation
Burried under the heap of an old winter
Freezing like the Northwind
Too fragile to be a thick skinned
A strange light peeped across the Horizon
My heart sipped an air of summer
Swimming like a Dolphin
Through the high tides of the ocean
And drop after drop
The warmth of life
Was infused through the veins
Of a forgotten corpse
But the query di...

A Robotic Life
If tomorrow doesnt arrive
At the same pace as yesterday
If tomorrow would look different
Than how I saw today
If tomorrow doesnt knock
Again at the drooling lids
of my sleepy eyes
If tomorrow doesnt bring
nightmares of strict deadlines
An obscure dawn
May grab a chance
to be unvieled from its
mysterious cloak
To be revealed
As a morning worth a breathe
As a morning wort...

Into the Past
There was a home
Burried under the memories
A million decades old
There was a story
Under the ruins
Of some wounds untold
They keep her awake
Through the nights
She has passed
Through these years
And all the lust
That's remained in her
Are the memories
Of some blurred dreams
Some indistinct figure
That must have been killed
In some wars of the yesteryears
And she fo...

Yours Forever
No it’s not too far
That you have eloped
With your new life
As a string still exists
Invisible and yet elastic
And I may seem
To have ended by now
It may sound creepy
But death cannot touch
Me anyhow
Coz I am immune to destruction
I can just grow
And continue to grow in your heart
No matter the distance
No matter you treat me how
And the...

Venom of love
The darkest of the night it was
And storms were howling from all sides
But she dared to step outside the walls
Coz there was something scarier inside
That snare disguised as love
Was toxic for her life
As the venom passed across her bloodstream
When he kissed her every time
She paced fast along the road
To the woods half wrecked by the thunderstorm
But it was safer than the cozy...

Soulfully beautiful? A myth
You said you believe
Beauty lies in the soul
Then why Can’t you recognize me
Every time you see my unattractive eyes
Why dont you try to
Read my mysterious mind
Why?
The answer I still seek
From you every time
Stays as an eternal mystery
Coz what’s around me
Is wrapped in a rug of never-ending hypocrisy
Why?
I may not possess those curves
Every night about whom you...

Property
It doesn’t matter how many years I have passed breathing oxygen
What matters is my urge to play with the wind
as I oscillate through the swing
And the force with which I exhale out my laughter
when those voices tickles my senses
And I feel as if I am still roaming around
In the streets of my childhood
Somewhere looking for those pebbles
That were actual treasures of my li...

The phone call
Staring at the sign that says “Take exit 35 for airport “
I tried to hide my tears behind my acquiescent eye balls
A painful scream was trying to blast my head
But I tried to pass a smile at you instead
The cab turned right to stop at the parking lot
You said “I will miss you”, but I could hardly talk
Grasping a heartful of your glance , I turned around
I was scared, how broken ...

Smoke
Have you turned out to be just a thought?
Fading away as you have untied the knot
Why can’t you hear me as I scream?
Why have you stopped coming into my dream?
My scream tears my soul apart
I couldn’t realize when did the dusk start
I can feel my heart is now a hollow trough
I have filled it up with dark smoke
I can see you through these Smokey rings
Your ...

I
Who am I?
Self realization, that I can re-construct the true strength in me!
Self realization, that I can flaunt afront the world despite of all encapsulation..
Self realization, that I house the courage to rebuild myself with all my broken pieces...
Self realization that my ignorance will destroy them more than my vengeance..
Helped me know myself...
And I u...

The dreamt destiny
The mysterious mind...
And its non-decodable thoughts of many-fold...
Drifted her senses across the horizon..
And kept oscillating her between the real and a dream world...
Puzzled and unaware...
She finally held the hands of her dream...
And got overwhelmed to see all the pebbles on her way...
Getting dissolved into the ground like a handful of melting cream.....
Tuesday 20th February 2018 5:56 pm
The uninvited gust
A sudden gust over the face of my life...
And gone with it...
Was a wish I kept treasured for long in my heart..
Was that picture of your sun kissed face half covered with the shadow of your hair...
And Was that part of your dream, in which I had my own share...

The heaven
I thought I was worn out..
A lifeless body and a lifeless smile..
Clueless what it was all about...
I thought I have been standing dead for a while...
Just then, you came along...
Crossed my way...
And you made me believe...
That I didn't fray...
And that a heaven still exists...
It can reform me again...
As I can see it exists in every bit of ...

Hidden behind the dark
A rainbow of emotions...
Is covering the sky of her life...
Sometimes she feels a tragic downpour across her cheeks...
Sometimes there's this happy wind that blows her heart off...
But she still can't see anything across her pathway..
On the other side nothing seems to be clear...
Stumbling in her journey...
On pebbles of uncertainty...
She wonders where's the light...

The colourful rain
I had once met a colourful rain..
Somewhere in the forgotten pages of my time..
And I let it colour my soul from all sides..
Probably bcoz I had hoped it to be all mine...
What it did to me, was a magical stroke..
A barren desert was turned into a heart of gold...
Each drop of its colours poured life into my deprived soul...
And a never ending thirst was quen...

The dream I knew
Flower's adorning that backyard...
And it was me standing on the balcony...
Waiting for someone I know...
And he would appear soon across those trees of mahagony...
Fragrances and clouds were all I remember...
And that was when, my heart starts beating faster....
How much I was in love I still wonder...
Is it just a dream that flashes in my sleep every night ...

Highway 39
It was 2pm of a hot summer day..
When she opened my eyes to show me my way...
I thought I have been left in the desert all alone...
And she guided me back to what I knew was my home...
Driving through the lanes on highway 39..
While trying to get rid of the memories I had left behind...
I met this friend, her name was "Life"...
And somehow I realised I am still alive...
I sa...

Sleepless Nights
These sleepy streets..
And the snoring world leaning on them...
Reminds me of the warmth of those hands...
And as that thought peeps my mind...
My heart skips a beat..
The beauty of this night...
And the moon kissing on its forehead..
Reminds me of some gifts from that heart..
And as that thought peeps my mind...
My heart skips a beat...
The softness of...

Dissolve in the air
She flaunts herself all around you..
You stare at her..
Wonder about her..
Dream about her..
One fine day you know..
Who is she?..
She's Love...
And you realise ...
You have been waiting for her...
All these while...
All throughout your life...
You tried to see her...
At home...
But she wasn't there..
You tried to find her...

Mystery behind the scene
They think about me...
Who am I?
Am I an open book,
Or a mere mythic story...
Am I a dramatic play...
Or just a single page of history...
Who am I?
They try to live through my life...
By flipping the pages of my past...
They try to penetrate through my mind..
But the more they try, the more I hide...
Because I...
Am a mystery...

The Silent Scream
I know now the pain of getting abandoned from my home...
I now feel the destruction being caused by the swirling storm...
Couldn't withstand the drift that crushed me from all sides...
I don't know how did I lose you even after holding you in me tight...
Can you recognise the shattered me inside this smiling face..
Can you see the tears rolling invisibly in its haphazard w...

A drop of life
I was in search of a smile..
A smile coming all the way from a true heart..
I was looking for that heart warming stare...
A stare that would shiver the whole of me with the paint of love...
I was in need of a caring touch..
A touch that could quench my thirst for a mother's love....
I was looking for a pure heart...
A heart even holy than the heaven above...
I saw decades pas...

The Ray of hope
A usual morning...
And a head full of load...
Somehow she's scared of this light..
Somehow it is the parasite..
That is eating her up hollow inside...
With each tick of the second..
Her heart becomes heavier...
Is it an unknown grief she is trying to hide?...
Or a Revenge that is lingering across her mind...
It's a stranger to her...
Like every passing scene across the window of a ...

The Light
Opening up my wings..
And a high drift in the air...
In love with every particle of this wind...
That kisses my cheeks as I fly..
As I emerged through the clouds of uncertainty..
I started flapping my wings...
I am determined once again..
Once again my mind gave birth to a new dream...
I am in search of the light...
It teases me every moment..
Of my stay in the dark...

Hope still exists
While your dreams are getting constructed...
To travel this entire universe..
You may see a dark clueless way ahead...
And your mind will forbid you to traverse...
Don't get scared...
It's a mirage...
Behind which a ray of Hope exists...
And a world for you to explore..
While your belief is growing stronger...
To clear your heart from all new and old tears...
You may se...

Decades have passed...
Everything has changed...
Relationships have changed..
Priorities too..
Faces have been painted with wrinkles..
Hairs too have greyed out..
Individuals have grown..

Still standing in that railway platform..
Watching you go...
That was the last train...
And the last good bye...

Chat with my bestie
Talking through the twilight...
As we let pass the ticks of the wall clock...
It feels as we are watching the rolling waves...
And the ships silently departs the dock...
Lost in the midnight chats...
Our souls are as innocent as a child's touch...
We are so much lost in our childhood...
That our hearts entirely ignores the present and the past...
And as we moved o...

Yes, That's what I am...

All through these years...
That's what I have been feeling...
All through my paths...

When the time is passing by...
I have realized....
That yes! I am strong...
Yes, I had believed it right..

She has learnt to tresspas all hurdles...
She has learnt to build her own pathway..
She is a sun disguised as a star...

"The time" I let it go free...
And it never comes back to me..
But I wait until eternity...
May be there's a hope to get it back to see...
The time passes by me...
As I sit silently to watch the departing waves of the sea..
I ask myself "was the sacrifice worth it?"
My heart replies "let it go from your mind as you have allowed it to flee"...

My thoughts and me
Sitting on the stairs by the shore...
As I watched the reckless waves...
Passing through my feet...
somewhere I was lost in my thoughts...
I couldn't recognize whether those memories were bitter or were they sweet?
"It is good to stay blank sometimes"..
I said to myself...
I realized I have been missing this comfort..
Of conversation with only my own-self..

Paralyzed
Traversing through...
A cocktail of dreams and nightmares...
I couldn't realize how many years...
Have passed by my sides...
While trying to peep..
Outside I saw...
I have reached a maze ...
Of some strange unavoidable tides...
The more I travelled..
The more paralysed I got...
And now that I want to stand still...
My limbs left my side to support...

Haunting Guilt
Suddenly, that phase has arrived...
The past is flaunting itself...
Right in my front...
I am trying to escape..
And to hide...
Running across and around these enclosed walls...
But I am trapped and there remains no way out...
The time is rewinding itself back...
As I just can watch and wait...
Assaults of heart aches, getting showered on me...
And countless more...

Hidden Strength
The Sun..
It's radiant, it's mighty...
The igniter of positivity..
and the assence of what life is ...
But it's unaware of ....
It's face that is...
Scorching, powerful, strong...
And sometimes the destroyer...
Yes.... also a destroyer...
It believed it's born to be...

The source to lighten up...
All homes..

Dreams
True that..
Reality often backstabbed my dreams..
Still I house the courage ..
To rebuild them afresh within ...
True that...
I see straight pale destinations within some few yards..
However my mind opts...
For the Tangled path to reach the enlightened ones...
True that...
They don't leave the slightest chance to embed self doubt in me...
But my mind is an o...

Distance
Just a few miles together...
And a never ending age of separation...
Few smiles and a handful of memories...
And they stayed forever in the heart to be my life's inspiration...
An unbreakable wall of silence...
Conquered the little world created by us...
Distance widened it's territory so much that now...
Even a scream at the top of my lungs can never invade your ear...
Friday 8th December 2017 12:09 pm
Knotted again
A rainy evening...
And a flashback to the yester years...
Some memories flashed like the lightning...
And a smile got canvassed through her wrinkled eyes...
While some sips of the hot coffee..
Ran through her congested throat...
A known voice intruded her solitude...
"Is it him?" Was her first thought...
And as they stared at each other...
Their lives came...
Friday 8th December 2017 12:08 pm
Set her free
Stir up her emotions
And let it settle down
While there may be traces of bitter sediments
Love will float all way around...
Let her swim along the sea..
And she will return to kiss your feet...
As she is that handful of sand..
That will escape with every attempt of your grip...
Let her thoughts touch the sky...
They will shower on you as a caring downpour....

The conqueror
Differences, yes they exist...
And get stronger...
Bonding with some crowded misunderstandings..
And a handful of jealousy...
But at the end...
'Defeat' flaunts itself on their face..
And destructions transform them to nothing...
While "Love" conquers everything...
Boundaries, yes they exist...
And get stronger...
Bonding with some crowded fake norms..
And a h...

Departure
To the person...
With whom I will spend my last days with...
Believe I am someone very ordinary...
But I will be your companion ..
until I continue to breathe...
I will rejuvenate your every passing day...
And you will experience your childhood again...
As I might have grown wrinkles on my face...
But my mind never grew up...
And I am always a child from within..

Anatomy of a female life
It has been ages by now...
And she's still walking on...
The roughest streets..
Along the desert..
And under the hottest sun...
There may be a few miles left...
Or may be another bunch of ages...
But she's not allowed to quit..
As she's accompanied by tremendous hope...
And a blanket of dreams she has her wrapped in...
And the chase continues...
There's ...

Sleepless
The sky is still awake...
And so am I...
Once again poked by a million thoughts.. They keep lingering through my veins...
There's beauty in them..
Traversing across me the entire night ...
Through endless talks with myself..
Is it a pain free drug ...
Or just an addiction...
Whatever it is...
It's so pleasant and full of life..
It's a mother to my second lif...

Arrest
A drive through the horizon...
And the beauty of that dark night...
I chose the journey without a destination...
Just to treasure it for an entire lifetime...
The farther I went..
The clearer it appeared...
As if those streets have been waiting for me....
Through all the ages they had survived...
And within some blinks of few moments...
Unknowns became my ...

Past once again
The evening amidst this moonlight...
Some curvy pathways across the woods...
I am not the solitary Voyager...
Today it's just me and the moon...
I fall in love with the stares of the beautiful dusk...
Felt like I got rejuvenated to someone new ...
And as it got rewinded to my beautiful past...
I somehow tasted those moments I had once went through...

Perfection(expectation vs reality)
They said...
It's normal to hide yourself....
Confine, conseal..
Bind yourself within
Tangled chains of relationships....
And be the one all want you to be...
Walk as they say...
Speak as they expect...
And do what makes them happy...
I said...
It's beautiful to flaunt myself...
Be free, tear the seal apart...
Break free all the chains...
That drags me...
