Thoughts 009

 Some people are lucky, they can't express their happiness

Some people are lucky, they can't describe their despair

I am so lucky Oh friend.... really so lucky

For life has broken me beyond repair

Thoughts 008

Stranded in this unique intersection, dazed I am
Unknown lies the path ahead, is there a skew…
Clouded my mind, with choices & consequences
Entrusted my fate, for the path’s chosen by you..

Magic happens yet again, albeit it’s momentary
Something’s are too good to true… fleeting seconds
Tread the path chosen, for that’s our destiny
Swallow the emotions, for the life beckons..

Tears may run down, far and between, as they flowed
Don’t fret my friend…life happens… for this the poet’s last ode

Thoughts 007

 
Tell the drop of water that douses the raging fire… Don’t do it..
Tell the breath that savours the fragrance of flowers…. Don’t do it..
Tell the eyes the beckon the arrival of lightning… Don’t do it..

Tell the heart that beats for one not yours…. Don’t do it…

So writes the mad poet, unflinchingly in multiple flashes
Crying hopelessly.. all he desires… to become one with ashes..

Thoughts 006

 
Answer to a question unknown
Fate of lives certain to change..
Factors galore, emotions lot more…
For god’s ways are indeed strange..

Grapple I do with uncertainty
Body is on fire,  desperate for clarity
Promise I do to follow the words
With all my heart, full of sincerity

Thoughts 005

Ask a breath where she belongs
To the external world, where she is the creator
Or the internal one, which she sustains

Ask a drop of water where she belongs
To the fountain of spring where she emerges
Or the majestic ocean where she unites

Ask a speck of fire where she belongs
To the embers of a previous life
Or the life to be begotten, by it’s flame

Ask a tear where it belongs
To the pleasure of happiness within heart
Or to the longing soul, waiting forever

Thoughts 004

Dance of black and white, miss I do very much
Hoping against hope, for a word, a syllable
Certainties are uncertain, times are such
Pains of separation, found to be unbearable

Know that a heart beats somewhere, soul’s on fire
Though its mine, mind is dumb, heart’s full of desire

Thoughts 003

 
Lips sport a smile for reasons unknown
Eyes glisten in the dark, like diamonds shone
Heart skips a beat quite often, it’s already flown
Spell has come over me,  for something is sown

Desire for a syllable, yearn for a touch
Elusive like a mirage, special as she is such
Near yet far, out while being in, special she is
Miss I do, really can’t quantify .. just how much

Thoughts 002

 
Flashes of spark, moisture of dew, black as coal
Sparks of brilliance, captures, controls my soul

Yearn for a touch, desperate for a smile
Admonishes my stupidity, laughing all the while

Mirage of life, Elixir of eternal love I seek
Just a mere presence, makes my mind go weak

Time to hang up, for reality beckons
Deep inside me, she’s the queen of my heaven

Thoughts 001

 Unexplainable are my emotions, bereft of words
Caught in the quagmire of my own apprehension
Searching for the elusive light, did I roam everywhere
Little did I know, deep inside me, lies a sun in possession

Yearn I did for touch, perhaps a glimpse, a word
Mind deceived me, Heart cautioned me, Beware
Dance of desire and fright, made my intellect go numb
Separation though created by me, unable to bear

Lightning strikes, emits a spark of light
Caressed my soul, like a cool breeze of November
Ignited the unbridled passion, undying love
Reminded me, she is & will be mine …. Forever

Wake-up

Thunder and Rain in the air
Signs of the times around
Darkness envelops mind and soul
Zeal is lost, life opened a wound

Heavy breath takes my inside away
Mind says..How I wish, I had my say
Tears run down, for they are destined
Soul is heavy, but pain is going away

Cheer up my dear !!! Sun will break
Dawn will usher in new rays of sunshine
Light drives away the darkness of soul
Wake up... This is God's sign

You need to be loved, caressed, cajoled
Child... Come let me embrace you
Life is beautiful and long road.. Don't worry
There are many who still love you

Love your self, Love your soul
Stand on your feet, drive away the blue
Draw the sword of confidence, Wear the belief jewel
Wake up oh queen.. The world needs you

warrior princess

Swinging her sword, she lunges towards me
Pushes the sword right into my chest
Killer instinct in her mind, to kill me
Yet unknown to her she resists


Oblivious of the physical pain
Smile escapes my lips
Glint in my eyes, I speak
"What is your name, miss?"

Angry as a smoking dragon
She snorts away, "How dare you?"
I hold her hand and look deep
"I know.. I don't require a clue"

Perceive I could the hidden language
Unspoken words from the glittering eyes
Tough exterior masks the real truth
For the real you is a beautiful surprise

Anger is a veil of hidden emotions
Perceive I can for I am aware
The need for warmth and love
Come my dear.. for I do care

paths

Standing on the cross roads
Gaze away at the two paths ahead
Unknown, apprehensive, confused
Results of my choice I dread

Teacher called life awaits
Experiences, value of which is immense
Clear yet confused, Brave yet scared
Words are missing for my defense

Faith in God, I take the plunge
Deep I go into the unknown territory
Sit I will one day, chart down my thoughts
Come my child, I will tell you the story

questions

Questions galore grapple my mind
Can you love someone so much
Sheer absence of whom makes you
Tear your heart out, no reasons as such

Wait I do for the evasive call
The voice that soothes my soul
Where is the essence of life, for
You are the one who makes me whole

Wait I will till the horizons die
My love for you is never a lie

answers

Listen to the music of ethos
For in the same lies the secret of life
Symphony of the universe tells
the tales of everlasting joy and strife

Dance of the bow on violin strings
Plays out the notes of the heart
Unknown and unseen are the pains
The drove two souls far apart

Do I need to write for someone
Or Do I write to soothe my soul
Questions for which I don't know answers
Sure I am about one thing, my heart which she stole

anger

Stood on the sidepath
Totally stunned by her anger
Her eyes were piercing
My heart like a dagger

Lovely sweetheart of mine
Soft and tender like a flower
Sudden metamorphosis of hers
Spirit of mine went lower

Oh I wish, I could say
I am sorry dear
Really meant it from inside
You are so far.. yet so near

Time is a healer
For heart needs to cool
Wait I will for eternity
For this is my own rule

Know I do that you will
Turn back into the angel I know
Come to me, you will cos
you are my darling & my beau

symphony

Skeptical, wearing my headphones
I set out on an uncharted sojourn
Music starts to ebb and flow
For the fire is lit and ready to burn

Journey starts off on a silent note
Sounds start off a triffle slow
Waiting for the magic to happen
When the strings are struck by the bow

Violinist started with a capriccio
Flight of the bow let the notes flow
Closing my eyes, music grows inside
Enveloping me in a bright glow

Time flies & leads into accelerato
Dance of emotion accelerates inside
Rising crescendo transports thereafter
Emotion that is about to ignite

Dimension unknown, not walked upon 
Crescendo suddenly takes an unknown bend
Strike of bow becomes long & stretched
Pain inside starts a new trend

Music takes control of my soul
Symphony bridges the gentile
Tears flow uncontrolled and unbridled
Coda releases my spirit from exile

Release the unknown hidden pain
Symphony was the soup for the soul
Space I would like to always reside in
For peace rests at last inside my whole

nature and love


Song of love and passion
Is omni-present in nature
Swing of the leaves to the Gayle
Witnessed by every creature

The gush of the water
Forceful caress on the rock
Is a time-standing testimony
One that goes beyond a clock

Relationship of a bee and flower
Is a talk of the yore
Beauty of the nature is there
For the eternity to adore

Colors formed in the sky
Testament of the rains that fell
Footprint of the water on land
Wait and watch.. only time will tell

Love is present in the creation
Secret of living is the love within
Fathom the passion we have
For our story is yet to begin

two rivers


Come my child, I will tell a story
Story of 2 rivers and romance
Eternal times they stand forever
Saga of blissful love and dance

2 rivers created, flowing their way
Unbridled, showing their might
Lord ordained their union by luck
Flowing they were, completely unhindered in flight

Destiny happened, cross the paths
they did, for unknown to them
Futures were being rewritten by the almighty
Stories that would be precious as gem

Mutual company they enjoyed
Danced their days away in merry
Little did they know life
Future is gonna look very scary

Cross their paths, a mountain did
Choice little did they have but
To split and move in different directions
World around them looked to shut

Confident they were, survival without
Each other, I can stay alone
Company of each other is nice, but
not necessity, it has flown

Forced upon to take different paths
Started to miss each others presence
Loneliness started to impact
Realized they did, impact of distance

Blessing them mercy, God changed
Their course and definitely they met
Loved each others existence
Vowed to repay the God's debt

Realization of love is the ultimate
Goal one should have in life
Lack of love hurts a man
Much more than a  sharp knife

United by god, destined by life
Rivers came together, acknowledged love is the glue
Merging and dancing merrily away
Constantly reminding each other, "I love you"

loser

Aching heart doesn't know
Reasons for the unbearable pain
Expressions miss from the lips
Emotions don't escape the brain

Man becomes a poet
Marrying words to inner notions
Creating an illusion
Weaving together,non existng emotions

Oh lord, here I stand.. a loser
With absolutely no premise
Who desires a reality instead
The one and only.. a silent demise

voyage

"Do you miss someone so bad?"
Is a question I get asked
YES YES my heart wants so say
But emotions I keep masked

Sheer presence electrifies the environs
Makes me want to hug her tight
Absence of her makes me go crazy
Wish I could describe my plight

Images of the life gone by
Pass in front of my eyes
Moments of happiness and sadness
Never knew how time flies

Rest I do, in this serene ground
Feeling free and light
For in front of me stands...
an angel shining bright

Opening her hands in an embrace
Ready for the one final voyage
God blessed me with her company
While the world pays us homage
