When I look from above..

When I look from above,
all seem equal, 
all small.
Doing mundane jobs.
Earning to save.
Some hoarding, 
being money's slave.
Some slaves at hands of
poverty, corruption,
war and inflation. 
Huge buildings e'en, 
too small.
Seas just pools blocked.
Green n' brown matched
with the blue sky.
Every day thousands die,
thousands are born, 
to laugh n' cry.
The most talked about
and least acted upon,
a feeling called
Love;
Overpowered by 
Hatred of sly.
Thousands of words
in many noted books 
spread like ripples 
in ever flowing brooks.
Still none could explain
its perfect meaning
to flourish n' grow,
used as a bait to hook.
From above,
it's love that makes
the universe glow,
its beyond a show.
Our earth on its axis
moves day n' night
under warmth of
the energizing sun
with
Love and hate
on an unending
war, each has its 
turn to have
lost or won!

dreams, not so important

Heavy grey dreams 
started my journey
of sleep when I
had nothing in my
mind to sweep

Shy outpourings  
waved at brink
pleaded me to 
rethink before I
allowed the flow
of my ink 

I assured them 
with a blink
Its nothing but 
a life's strong drink

It asks me to link
with the rest of
the universe with
a sound knowledge
that I may 
someday sink 

At a far distant
corner of this earth
someone sees 
dreams of pink 

Dreams float
in the air when
we're asleep
Their interaction
with each other
may bring colors,
I think

Last night,
I stood at the highest
peak pleading a lady
to stitch some cushions
lately, she refused
leaving me confused

What I was doing 
with stitches n' threads
those colorful spreads
when I ought to be 
on plains to get 
mended those 
broken window panes?

Dreams can take one
anywhere when the 
need is to just sleep
and wake up early
to perform fair

Dreams, after all
are dreams,
providing material
for poetic themes
In my case,
they badly fail

As world moved..

Through dusty roads
and narrowed
stinky lanes of 
a historical city
she took me 
to an old building
not letting me know
what went her inside
She left me outside
while I waited
for it seemed
the longest periods
of my ever waiting
for anyone in my life
Then I saw a rusty
old iron board hanging
outside making things
a bit clear,, 
an astrologer's place!
On the way back
she asked me to stop
at a place from where
she bought an idol
for worship, as I
stood listening to
mourning cries 
coming from inside,
for a mother whose
only son of two months
in need of treatment
died!
A mute spectator
failed to see God
anywhere,
those dusty dingy streets,
an astrologer's place,
woman who made 
an idol for worship
The world moved as 
ever 
unstoppable 
for anyone 
on those busy 
dusty roads
Unknowingly
as I stood,
saw my tears
flow!
What went inside,
who understood?

Tear apart!

Sunday summer afternoon
Internet opened with 
No important mails
Facebook charm fades
Not much it says
People have lost
All craze
Pressing keys on
The keyboard
Hands did shake
What else left 
In this life
Why I fake
When nothing 
To write 
All mistakes
Repetition 
"Are you still
being disturbed?"
No smile leaves
This place
As ponders the
Last post
With in between 
Many breaks
All same old 
Faces n' their families
Day to day incidents
Clouds call outside
Green paths nostalgic
Bicycle takes to
Roads less traveled
Nothing to seek
No one to speak
A solitude
Temple stands 
In queue 
Bells no more
Steps broken long ago
Shattered door
Empty floor
I sit letting myself out
Minutes pass
I wonder
How long this lasts
I thought it ended
Why am I chasing aghast
Death, my wish
An only wish
Wait for it
Long for it
Till then
I ride again
To watch n' play
My feeble role
While my heart
And mind both 
Tear my being
Apart!

A thought

For days
Turning into weeks
Then touching
Almost a month
Standing at the edge
Hoping
Someday 
I'll swim
Not drown
Hoping and hoping
How long
To hold a hope
And stand 
Holding an edge
Self interrogation
What can make me do
Really do
A thought
A person
A thought of a person
What
Who/what
Who can inspire me
A single name
I reflected and thought
Most hurtful being
Always distant
Not to be seen
An unfulfilled dream
Now I knew
Yes,
For one 
I cannot bother swim
I can drown
The next moment
I laid my being
For the thought
Of one
As if I'll never
Live again
Ready to drown
Who cares
Even if forever I die
And that thought
Turned out to be 
The initial step
The first step
In the way of
Swim
And made me realize
I can die 
Really die 
Without 
A second thought
For someone
And that name
Turns out to be
The first step
In anything 
Nearer to death.

Thoughtless

I take a walkway
Thoughtless
Asking nothing
Answering nothing
Walking
Looking ahead
Sideways I see
Just see
To feel
I'm free
I affirm again
For,
Inhibitions are 
My own
No one can
Put me down
Unless I allow..
Thoughts waited
For entry
As I was silent
And thoughtless
I was happy
Further I went
Sunshine smiling
Beyond a tree
Sat below it
Gathered myself 
To speak to
My soul
Seemed still
I forgot 
Queries
And answers 
Distant thoughts
Stood and watched
Pain dried
Sparkled bright
Grey leaves
Turned green
In sunshine
Hope returned
I took again
The walkway
This time
Back home
My duties
Calling....

Words mesmerized..

Small colorful flowers touched my feet

Had went so long to feel the glee

Words mesmerized..

Morning birds sang bright day assured

Thoughts gazed ahead searching some pure

Words mesmerized..

Simplest held view wonder where they grew

Happiness greeted while anguish bid adieu 

Words mesmerized..

The previous night as moon peeped through

Winds wrapped drapes stars appeared sky glued

Words mesmerized..

Bells rang in the air making night so fair

Counted moments pleased awe inspired still

Words mesmerized..

Do you wonder too, why?

I was holding your poems in hand

Reading rereading lines in between 

Mind seized and words mesmerized..

Faithless

Reveals too much?
Much still hidden!
Impermeable perhaps?
Chill waters of despair
Fills her heart's gaps!
As storm echoes
Aggravates her
Mental wrath..

Don't fret
Don't expect
Too much
Else,
Felt as a troublesome
You'll be left.
Oh, why love has so many restraints,
Complications?
Why not simple, innocent,
Free flowing?
Weakness of one,
Does it allow the other's strength?
Fiction and reality,
Relate not straight
Dark corners of soul,
Witness strength of feelings 
An encouragement by
Playful moiety
Hard to resist
Selfish Irresponsibility!
Tearing up dignity!
Yes,
Hunger of love,
A rebellion for the world,
Rage for wrong done
Faults turned to virtues
Sufferer of pain
At the hands of
A Faithless!

Inspired

Go away those moments 
When I expected n' felt
Those were dark n' heavy
Made me weep under
A negative spell
Yes, I repeat from bone
I didn't leave a stone unturned
No, not destiny
Someone's treachery was shown
Throw dust, more of dust
Bury it deep don't weep
Ashes won't speak
No one will beep a sound nor care
Did anyone care when you fell deep
You were unable to breathe
From ashes you're reborn
You were no where seen
Did heavens listened your screams
The nature witnessed and asked 
To move and you'ere able to crawl
Crawled your way out of darkness
Now when you're breathing
Life is showing you ways
Don't be distracted
Don't get worried
Don't go deep what you've buried
Dead don't come back
Even if they do
Are mere ghosts
They just attack
Are nothing
Don't make them more of anything
Light is ahead
Set yourself free
Free of sorrows
Free of yesterdays
Free of failures
Free of falls
Free of old
Tomorrow's new
Always brings new hopes
Strive to fulfill them
You're much more 
Than you once thought you were..

I'm the Lord

I'm the way,
                  you're missing..
Don't you know?


I'm the light, 
                  you're avoiding..
Don't you see?


I'm the calling, 
                     you're not heeding..
Don't you hear?


I'm the everlasting love, My child
Don't go anywhere..


You'll find solace only in Me.

Longing

Why I do relate to some words said by an unknown?
As if a story untold, unshared kept at a distant zone..


Why a song fells upon ears seems to be my own? 
When I've not sung it nor wrote in times forlorn..


Why a promise in lovers' eyes bring me a ray of hope? 
When I've never been kissed let passion gone alone..


Why I yearn for sweetness, a rapture that love brings?
While my life stands still I've to pass on my own..


For whom do my eyes search, heart silently mourns?
When the winds of whisper carry no message nor a tone..

Confused

How can it happen?
When nothing's happening..


What the eyes don't see,
The brain cannot..


Though sometimes
Brain can fill with 
Something else..


Here,
What the heart allows
Brain to see,
Brain agrees..


But eyes do not!

Not to leave anything Incomplete

After two decades of life together
He says,
"..should not have married me!"
She's well aware,
There were many things 
She should not have done.
Like leaving things behind.
They return to her
Haunt her
Take her to those places 
Where she dropped her 
Incomplete dreams
Pleading them to last..
Mistake,
Should have buried them.
She has learnt
Not to leave anything
Incomplete
That may bring back her past!

Shhh...something serious

A touch of hand here
A caress there
Forced your power
To put devil's kiss unfair
An innocence ruined
Many will be followed in line
Godliness vanish
Wickedness emerge
Dirty look 
Conscience shook
Screams silence
In a nook
Terror grips
Burns on tips
Who's to blame 
Who'll be put to shame
Its all wealth game
Easy money
Lust takes role 
In need of penny
Outer face 
Or inner grace
Lost all in a muddy race
Societal norms
Authority forms
Drama n' show
Off it goes
Abuse in the name of charity
Darkness knows their vulgarity
Beware,
From where their money comes
And where it goes
Their false pomp n' show
Hardly impresses Me
I know them much 
Much more than required 
Don't you think so..?
Let time bring to them
An appropriate fate
Gates of destiny still lies ahead!
I've Open Eyes

Pride hath its fall

Pride, has two ways
Which way do you go?


Upward it leads,
As a virtue to please


Downward fall,
A vice none stand tall


An inflation of ego
A sense of attachment


Choices n' actions
Praise n' independent


Voices n' reactions
Splendor transcendent 


Development of self
Or  high social status


Disagreement of truth
Or love of self excellence


Feels like magnanimity
Or brings vainglory?


Treason in love
Penance has a call


Forgiven not
Everlasting shot


Ask the miserable
Have you forgot?


Dreams complete
Rest till not..

Wipe those blues..

There's no one out there,
For me or you..


Mindful or mindless,
Whate'er we may say or do..


I know well,
You know me well too..

I'm learning what,
You're asking me to.. 


There's a glow in the sun like ne'er before,
A twinkling of stars sending smiles to lure..


Take my hand in yours, 
Let's walk to far away lands..


Meadows of mirth talking poetry,
Winds playing through leaves singing hymns,


Through your melodious voice,
While a flute played by me,


With skies pouring fragrant flowers, 
A journey to heavens on earth,


Few can see or understand..


Ne'er mind dear if it seems to be far from true,
At least there's enough time and space,


Still left in my humble life,
To think and write about the Godly you..


Just feel that magic,
More will be coming through..


Just keep watching, 
And wipe those blues..  :)
