There are times when words cannot do justice to what you wish to convey, often it is when you need to write about someone dear to you. What prose can’t do justice to sometimes poetry can. As a cold winter knocks at the door When the breeze gently brushes my face As I button up and walk out in the rain And a million drops fall on me I look up and say, ‘Wow’ When I see you every morning [...]
I live for love and the love for life In simple moments I live and love Moments that connect me with you Holding me up when I am down And reaching to me when you need me Walking with me when I am alone And hugging me tight when you are scared Slowing with me in a world running fast And joining me as we chase our dreams Picking me up when I have fallen And falling on me when [...]
In front of the butcher’s shop lured by the smell of fresh meat looking at bloody carcass hanging Desire blinded in Hunger He stands waiting Mid Night in front of the filthy tavern As drunken heads with shrunken eyes – Struggle inside with their tandoori and kabob Faithful in Anticipation He awaits the leftover In front of the illegal brothels Where innocent powerless bodies are sold As the weakest and worthless prove their might Forced into Ferocity He guards the [...]
As the last ray of sun leaves the earth Behind it should go all stress of the day As you hold the night like a baby in your hand And watch it grow through the cocktail glass You should be Immersed in the music of love Then light a candle and let it burn As the world slowly dips in the dark You should see her face glow on you Take a sip from her glass And give her a [...]
Feeling life as it moves in time; You sense that there is no real urgency; Nevertheless it increases its speed Missing a few things worth an attention Sometimes it also slows down Feels like it is a stand still Life slower than the time Its texture also seem to vary Soft, abrasive, glittering, pale, hard, colorful It also unexpectedly intersects something Changes its course and again continues It seems not worried of what lies ahead But is always cautious of [...]
Troubles are like bubbles They sure have to break If one breaks away A new one blows your way But they sure go away Troubles are like bubbles They can never stay They have to break away Like bubbles break away Troubles lose their way Live a bubble a day
Today, break open all old wounds Beckon blood from your past Let it flow freely and drip again As old wounds slowly turn fresh Experience old pains with a new mind Open up and embrace the present Reconcile with heart aches of yesterday Tomorrow will bring you a clean past Free from revenge, fear, envy and loss
My two sides make me unique Give me the power to decide the fate Some win some lose with every toss For what I am made of For what is inscribed on me People desire me I am precious if I am the only kind They collect and trade me For much more than what I value I travel from hand to hand Bringing a smile where ever I go Leaving a tear whenever I leave There is also a [...]
When the pen goes dry Words fall short Dreams come to a halt Future moves further away Identities defamed The past blends with present Present looses relevance Sanity waits patiently Screams open a tear flood Souls leave the body Body rots Ethics get buried Love wanders on the streets Relationships are orphaned Mind winds itself till it can’t escape Silence breaks the long chatter Life looks at death and both hug The handover of man begins….
Nothing in the world corrects itself Time is a healer but too pricy It punctures the fabric of life Leaves you healed but incomplete Scars do not remind enough Of the days when the pain was struck They fall hidden in the chaos of life Only realizing when someone points out Banished from your own frame of mind All your Identities lose their battle Get deleted from every frame of reference Till you can be claimed non existent Like a [...]
