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...
