Paradise



A vast expanse of the splendid green
A beautiful reign of the majestic queen


A land of love where peace exists for true
The promises are kept, faith prevails in a moral hue


A government that needs no laws to operate
Rules are not made, still all are euponic & affectionate


Dreams are chased, its a dreamland
Everyone lives with honour in this hinterland


This is the Utopia
The seeker shall find it
This is Euphoria




A crown of snow-capped peaks in near distance
A harmony, no borders & no fence


Where love finds it way everywhere
Where rights are for all, life is without fear


Food served in platters of gold, devoured with a silver spoon
Money holds no value, life itself is a bliss, a boon


No language needed, no words uttered
Eyes reflect the thoughts, a language of love is deciphered


This is Heaven
Shall you find it out
Far from urbane inanity
This is wilderness with a unique sanity


Welcome to Kashmir...

Flash

Wandering alone, along the dusty road

Late hours, humming a dusky song..


        Routine thoughts, colorless life

        I feel a deja-vu every night...


Deadlines, chores, toil & drill, all on my mind

Scent of a woman, a reminiscent of a beautiful past..


        A life worth living - a prophetic lie

        Still, slogging, selling, killing - an unpredictable present...



A Flash:


Wisdom, when do you strike??

Random Swings

Do I have to confront you
It leaves me confused..


& if you aren't headed my way
I ain't really amused...




Living rave, feeling grave
Just stay, I'm not your game..


Step off, for I may use you
Vacate the skies, I'm shooting to fame...




Random swings,

Either you give in..

Or you give up...

The Indian Lady

Across the door, I used to see a pearl
There once lived a majestic girl
She had an enigmatic air
No one missed her elegant flair
I saw her bloom since her childhood years
Till she was a teen living without fears
Morning she slung her bag and went out free
Late night arrivals, she was out on a spree
     Living wild, living out
     Living chic, living loud

She lived her freedom, she loved her life
She was naive about the societal knife
She told her mother she was in love
She was turned down, she met with a rebuff
Her outings were axed, her movements confined
She wept alone, her parents were no more kind
She packed her bags, she gave up her home
Next morning she was away, now she was gone
     Living mild, living in humility
     Craving a life, living like a liability

Now she had a life & it was pristine
But for a blink, then it lost its sheen
Husband, kids, in-laws & daily chores, it was all she had
No shoulder to lean on, no one to look upon when she was sad
Generating money, sustaining a home & a wrinkled face
Exhausting herself, with charred skin & a subdued space
One night she died, & everyone cried, now who'd do the furnace, who'd cook the rice
I thanked the divinity, good God she passed away, her life was a duel between happiness & sacrifice
     Succumbing to situations, sinking in the mire
     A lady like her, we see everyday blazing in our tangible desire

     She was an Indian lady...

DAYS OF MY YOUTH...

I opened my eyes to a fiendish sight
No scope fer prudence, 'twas a melancholic plight
A myriad of brutals in a melee, jus to give a fight
I closed my eyes, in my slumber, i took a flight...
'tis my destiny
'tis my life
I dont care fer a troubled childhood
I didnt give it a strife...
Left alone, wandering aimless, sinking low, thinking profound
Wondering how, amazed, amused, then hit by an eccentricity that left me astound
The rage died, fires extinguished, slunk in the Slough of Despond, i hit the ground
No one cares, no one knows, i lay down, they dont hear my wimpy sound...
My early years
The gruesome fears
Quietly i shed away those tears
Hiding from my closest peers...

WORKING MAN!

How often do we smile
How often do we pray
Using the guile
Not concerned about being led astray
Compromising with norms of the society
Running around with pointless fears
Our actions depict deep anxiety
No more love, we're left with only tears

We're the society
We're the disciplinarians
I'm the working class...

No more dancing in the rain
We hear no hymns, no yogic chant
Treating our life with disdain
Intensifying our miseries rampant
The festivities are gone
The celebrations seem far away
We're drinking our glories alone
And alone we're getting old, turning grey

We're the corporates
We're the diplomats
I'm a working man....

Life In Oblivion!!

We're living our life in peace

Killing our time with utmost ease

     Running for treasures

     Chasing material pleasures

Dreaming with eyes wide open

Unaware, and thus having the fun

     Blinded by the flash light of carnal desires

     Burning our souls in hedonistic fires

   We're living in peace

   We're living in oblivion...

The life here is like still waters

Covered with a crust of ignorance

     Never shaken, never stirred

     The vision of this society is getting blurred

All of us are sitting idle

Waiting for the rain to agitate this puddle

     And with the passage of time

     I find myself sinking further into this urbane slime

   Still we think..

   We're living in peace

   We're living in oblivion...

I raise a voice

In this subdued silence

     Threw a pebble into the still water

     Hoping for a rebellion to make life better

This world is growing inane

We're struggling, and still living in vain

     I longed to see the transformation

     I waited & I cried for the resurrection

   Are we living in peace??

   Or are we dying in oblivion???

Always With You

When your life inches its dusk
& you find no one along,
     The gates of heaven are down
     & you think hell is where you belong..
Moving step by step
through that dark alley of your actions,
     Whole life comes back to
     haunt you through your resurrection..

Jus' look around
& you'll find me for your repose...


While the world comes heavy
& all the ways are loomed,
     When to step up needs more courage
     than to be forever doomed..
You know you are committed
& you think you are right,
     But you cant brave
     & to stand up needs utmost might..

Jus' feel the air
& you'll find me all around you...


When your loved ones are out
to kill you & they behave strange,
     They tell that you have betrayed
     & you ought to be estranged..
Some situations are out of control
& let destiny control your fate,
     To sin is always humane
     & to stand up for your right you're never so late..

Jus' open your arms
& you'll find me kissing you...

The Narcissist - An Introduction to self

Follow my blog with bloglovin

Every morning I wake up
I look at the mirror
        I look at someone
        Someone strange, something queer
I never realise
What is true, what is sheer
        I look away
        I turn & go, but I have a fear..

This morning I awoke
I saw the same mirror
        I saw someone
        I was there, Oh! so clear
I saw my eyes reflecting
I saw myself, I wasn't so peculiar
        Enlightenment?
        Yes! But, I'm no seer..

        All these days
        I'd been hiding
        Under thousands of masks
        of Diplomacy, Hypocrisy,
        Greed, Sex, Solipsism??

    The winds swept the fog
    My vision is now so clear..

& now when I rise
I look at the mirror
        I stand so tall
        I got no fear
I don't cry
There are no more tears
        & every time before I turn & go
        I contemplate & give a last leer...

The NIGHT..

I'm glad to see this sunset

The sky is gleaming under the sunlight yet

The day is gone with a lonely song

I've been waiting for this night so long

What is concealed will be revealed

& all the pains will now be healed

The day hides the truth with sly

& night winds blow the drape of the lie

Welcome to the night

So true, So verite..

As my eyes get adjusted to the mirkiness

& the mundane day goes with all the stress

The nocturnals are out on the prowl

& I stand there waiting for a righteous brawl

The barren streets echo my empty feelings

I smile & contemplate all my revealings

The doors are closed, there are no more visits

The time has come for us to be nihilists

Welcome to my night

So dark & yet so bright..

The night is to live, the night is to dream

In night I see, In night I gleam

The night is so subtle, yet so clear

In night we meet, when she gives me a leer

The sunshine it chokes me, & it leaves me still

While every night bedazzles me with a thrill

The day is gone, the day is gone

Ring the alarms, now the night is on...

Welcome to the world in night

Sheer bliss, & no more plight..

The night has come yet again

Gone is the day, gone is the bane

& as I bade the furious sun

The night has begun..

Indeed...
