Derailed...

Tending the blisters, hoping for cure,
Witnessing destruction, waiting for the messiah,
The blisters burn, the wounds hurt,
The zone of probability complies, conspires!
Likes attract but repel, confusion rules
In derailed minds, breath-taking blues...
The mind goes on, so does the pen,
The heart stops somewhere...
"Uncanny" they say, the heart says "No"-
Choices of utility optimisation
Subject to love constraint.
"Love constraint?" laugh they,
"It's an use and throw world,
What kills emotions is materials"
It says; protests agonised-
"... And what kill materials is emotions!
Your messiah is the same as mine,
Salvation the end-all of things!"
Confusion rules, confusion reigns,
Confusion fuses into the mind-
Fusion-Con, Con-fusion!!

Shadow

When love cries out, gets betrayed,
When hate blossoms find their way,
Then you find me behind that shadow,
- A region between affection and imposition...

When people stop caring or understanding,
When expectation forever stops itself,
Then you find me behind that shadow,
- A place between expectation and anticipation...

When sweet dreams turn into nightmares,
When friendship and enemity confuse,
Then you find me behind that shadow,
- A point between love and hate...

When the soft rain lashes ,
When the bright sun scorches,
Then you find me behind that shadow,
- A dillemma where no emotions reign...

Penning Down...

Bid me goodbye before I go,
Bid me goodbye before I know!
I don’t know which path I’ll be treading,
But I’m sure it’s peace towards I’ll be heading!

Sweet thoughts and dreams portraying my mind,
Perhaps I’ll dream of this world, hope someday it’ll be kind:
To people whose powers are gone,
Who go on living without passion,
Who linger just on the memory lane…
As the wait for their departure.

So much tension, so much clash!
People are humans- not robots!
But the world is running and advancing,
With just psychologists to help them…
But what sense does it make-
When you have to come back to the same old torture?!
Again waiting for your departure?!

NO, I don’t wanna come back…
So, bid me good bye-
For soon I’ll be making my journey..
With the sunfall…

Intoxicated

The morning: it dawns-
In the valley with those birds,
Chirping and chirping along
Are they, as the sun peeps out-
From behind the ranges…
Flooding the peaks with light.

The valley overflows with light-
The melody of the stream…
And you feel the sprit of love,
Hypnotising you….
As the nature shows a new day
To live for...

Passes the midday and sets in dusk,
With the vibrations of red…
And as it pales out into blue,
The sky darkens and darkens…
The twinkle so soft,
The shadows on the valley…

The twilight changes to…
A moonlit evening,
The valley bathes in the purity-
Of white yet again…
The birds have retired to
Their nests………

The eternal silence
Fills you with happiness,
And emotions,
And nostalgia…
Yet again those finer tastes
Get refined… With the picturesque valley…

Obituary

Waiting for an acknowledgement that'll never come,
Waiting for friends who'll never remember,
Hoping for miracles that'll never occur,
Dazing to eternity as life unfolds...

Caring for people who'll never feel,
Nourishing the dreams that'll never be,
Witnessing events that'll keep mum,
Kicking promises as they shape up!

Cherishing moments they've killed forever,
Recognising ethics that i'll never respect,
Clinging on to people miles away,
Slow-poisoning the soul till next dawn...

Will You??

When i'm gone, miss me
- will you?
Cherish the memories,
Enjoy the twilight,
Remember the romance
in the moonlit night.

The gushing stream,
The bows of the banyan,
The starry night
- when owls flew by!
The just dawning day,
The call of the birds,
The sunshine shining
... on to our faces
- will you?

Tell them how we killed time,
How toxicating love could be with us,
The flowers i loved,
The dreams we spun,
The hopes that flourished,
The nostalgia that was born!
The unborn hopes,
The budding desires...
Tell 'em all about it
- will you?

And not my death
be mourning,
On my grave bring
primroses and orchids,
Sit by me on those
moonlit nights,
Remember the way
we killed time!
Be by me always,
to the end of time.
Just remember me fondly enough
- will you?

Volumes

Powers have drained out
- i can write no more,
Sweet dreams have flown away
- i don't imagine anymore.
My innocence lies in that dustbin
- as i stare at this world
- dazzled, bemused...

Love has stopped hypnotising me
- i no more feel toxicated.
Regards have found their way
- to places it never belonged!
Hatred rules my heart
- like a poison it swells, erupts...
- where i never imagined it would...

My soul has died out,
My mind has atrophied,
The heart is no more a heart-
My feelings have flown by
... hypocrisy hypnotising me...

Z-Files

Alone under the blue sky,
Alone amongst the green grass,
Alone in the city-lull,
Alone amidst all friends!

Melancholy breeze, morose colours,
Portrayal of a human heart,
Uncaring love, un-felt words,
Symphonies unbound, recurring sounds.

Happy hearts, tired souls,
Faint memories,
Decaying feelings,
Hostile friends, echoing blues...

Sad with happiness,
Cacophonous harmony,
Echoing colours,
Forlorn crowd!

Remnants of imagery,
Ruins of feelings,
Graveyard of memories-
Intoxicated minds...
