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...

RUN RUN RUN!!!

Got up this morning
To an unpleasant song
Followed it through
With a routine so long
They slammed me on
& They put me wrong
I should've been dead
But instead got so strong

When I'm down
When I'm out
I run for cheer
I run for fun..

I opened my door
& I walked under the sun
My boss he snubbed me
Still I got no stun
When I looked around
I was alone
I found all my relations
Numb as a stone

When I'm blue
When I'm choked
I run for solace
I run for console..

I still went on
With no one by my side
I got no worries
Till I was bona fide
My darling she ditched me
& she walked her way
Still I'm alive
Enjoying my selfish sway

When I'm betrayed
& When I'm conned
I run for peace
I run for repose..

I run run run!!
Headed to the sun
With no one my own
I run alone
Oh! so alone..

The Underdog

I've been wicked, they call me a rogue
You say I'm unpredictable, but I'm jus' a stooge
I went to the broadway to kick some ass
Back in my dark room, I smoked on hash
I've been a satan, I go for the kill
People fear my sight & it makes me thrill
People despise me, my girl she hates me
When I'm gone, they're happy to be free
Cause I'm an underdog
Living in your heart,
But you never loved me you tart
Hiding in that mist & fog
Cause I'm an underdog

Life's been so cruel under that mask
Hypocrites they hate me when I'm on my task
The world's so crooked, I'd tell you this
Her eyes looked evil, while she planted me a kiss
I see no serenity, in this world so forlorn
I'm a killer, taking lives from dusk to dawn
I kick the rich & I get my stack
Doesn't really matter, if I'm out of your rack
Cause I'm an underdog
With a hateful face
On this planet I'm wasting space
Under that mist & fog
You called me an underdog

I wasn't like this, I too stood proud & tall
You know back in time, I was also loved by all
I wasn't kicking the dust, I wasn't so dry
This world's so mean, I still gave it a try
My emotions are killed, my heart's vacant
My girl she hates me, she'd stab me any moment
My parents estranged me & world's too dark to see
Still I'm happy to be & don't want no one to pity me
Cause I'm an underdog
With a heartless spirit
You better kill me before I'd hit
Way down into that mist & fog
Baby, Here I am as Your Underdog........

Money - The Rogue

Money, she cried out loud
Money, I got a feeling profound
Never did I had a thought
Money, that's what all people sought
One fine day when I was going away
My baby she huggd me before I held sway
"Darling", she told me as she kissed me hard
"Excuse me honey, could I get your credit card"

I called my buddy, asked him to dine
I ordered a platter with an expensive wine
We had a chat of our timeless bond
I went to his home and I was heavily stoned
It was so late & I had to go
He stopped my way & told me "No!"
I never knew his dark cravings
As he told me, "Pal, jus' gimme all your savings"

Dejected & diffused I went back home
My son he jumped & his eyes shone
I was blissful as he came
Atleast he was inocent & he lived my name
& then he pulled me to whisper in my ear
Now his eyes were red as he gave a last leer
All that was fake & I knew his mean intentions
"Daddy", he said "Money for my playstation"

& now I realise
The world's full o lies, lies, lies
I spend my days all alone
Sitting lonely on my own
Sometimes I think I should seek solitude
Kick all the money & give it to the destitute
Now I feel I'm off to heaven
Money, money, money, It taints everyone...

The Witchy Lady!!

i walked all day
i walked on through the night
i went through the hay
where i saw her might
trust me my friend
i don't lie, i don't exaggerate
she was the queen of wonderland
magical & charismatic, she got me in her bait
i don't care what it means
but she was a psychic indeed
she was hard to understand it seems
& i was the one in her need
she was an alien, she was weird
this world was burning, burning in plight
they said she's dangerous & they cried in fear
but she caught me before I'd put up a fight
that woman cast a spell on me
she hooked me & took me along
she took my right to be free
while she burnt the world so wrong
one day while i reminisced her
she flew away & she was gone
our love was trash & her heart was stone
that magical lady, she's a devil
she threw me in that burning fire
i was left to die at my own peril
i could see it bur, my funeral pyre
sometimes i still feel her
i dream her in her best attire
she kisses me & takes me further
but i cant see my love falling in the mire
& then she told me the candid reality
our love is not a curse she said
she loved me in hi - fidelity
she'd love me till the end, she'd love me like a fad...

You & I

As I look in your eyes
I see the clear blue skies
the glory holds your sway
when nothing else comes your way
I wait for the summer sun
when you & I could feel this fun
there's a magic in your words
I don't pay heed maybe, I'm a nerd
I close my eyes
to escape your disdainful lies
you are diabolical and yet so sweet
& your polite words make my heart skip a beat
when you go out of my myopic vision
the whole world seems to be an optical illusion
I see the clouds so dark & grey
every man seems to be a beast hunting his prey
I usually suffer from these schizophrenic thoughts & actions
my mind doubles up with you & my past resurrections
Baby, you are a viking on the prowl
common & kill me so I can gift you my eternal soul
fool as you may call me lunatic I actually am
when can I see you again so I can lose my rein
come today & come to me baby
cause life may never ever be this way
You & I
under the clear blue skies...

The Darkness

Of all the wisdom i know
there's a strange hush
I see the people blindly follow
the crowd in the maddening rush
their doors are closed
& my words are lost
wise men, they acted & posed
as if they knew it for utmost
my thoughts, they echoed
from the deaf ears they fell unto
the darkness peaked on to the node
where wisdom failed to do
Darkness prevails,
All over, where it has to
& thus, Darkness prevails...

Everything I had
I gave it to you
but you were so busy with your fad
that you didn't care for anything new
I lived my life
I lived on for a holy grail
So entangled in your strife
baby, & so you were bound to fail
I mean no evil, nor to preach
I still try to explain ya
& all my norms that you breach
girl I call you a stigma
Darkness prevails,
All over, me & you
so gravely, Darkness prevails...

I hear the Gods talking
fear the mother
she's coming
she's the one, the soul killer
they taught you
& we gotta unlearn
father comes in that queue
kill him if you wanna discern
the free will lives on
the Satan calls like a kin
choose the wisdom you forlorn
else live this life with you sin
Darkness prevails,
All over, preachers and learners
so hallowed yet Darkness prevails...

The Quick Sand of Materialism

it seems hard to find
myself the peace of mind
while the world runs for materialistic glory
i've got a secluded history
i watch the kids playin' around
they laugh together havin' found
some strange incidents to share
for what i never care
the world around me
entangled in a painful and gory battle
what i see
is this jungle gettin' fatal
lost in a world of my own
never cared if i was still unknown
i used to be like those
runnin' around for unreal pleasures
now i think deeper i suppose
no more attracted by worldly treasures
i need a change around me
its inevitable if i have to love, meditate and be free
the thought of victory in life is deceptive
it follows the one who lives it
defeat lands me in a wilderness of its own
to come out i've to rise up to the throne...

Sacrifice

immolated my youth
for the sake of mutiny
a hecatomb of palatial pleasures from the penniless
still life's soothe for the urchin
livin' in allay in that taperin' alley
never sneaked onto the other side
where livin' requires a strong resolve
takin' a wide reckless stride
never think how hard it'd be to retreat
bacchants and raves enjoyin' their pitiful lives
while some are workin' in their sad plight
so pressed for time, inchin' towards heaven by handin' out servitude as a vassel.
free yet modest is the state of man here
oblated everythin' on the altar of ambition
on the other side is this wanton,
shameless and happy
don't have to bother a damn
for the rebellion for the rights of all
jus snuggle into their cosy homes and die once & for all..

Fire

an eruption a fission
a volcano bursts with a lava storm
wilderness is occupied by silence
the shrieks seem so worthless
in this vacuum of darkness
pain agony and loneliness
no one to rescue you out of this deserted haven
tears, fear and a life of pessimism
is all what's left
no one to rely on
no shoulder to rest upon
you are not the only one
there are many more victims of this malady
the narrow walls may never part
a fire of rebel and frozen pain
some muthafucks spark this fuckin' disdain
deception and contempt is all what they know
but baby, you're a braveheart so never let it go
launch a battle to fight the nerds
a fuckin' lesson for those hypocrite bastards
blow that fear away,
do or die is what i say
that's the way u got to go,
break this leash in full flow
some inspire and rest follow
some act and rest worship
choose the path you wanna be on
finally your fate is decided
you're the one who's gonna rock on
and sing out aloud
i fly but never forget to come back to ground
that's what you are honey
you stay free and push off all the agony
run on heavy fuel
roll on with your spirit and fire
bring it on and let there be some light
get everyone free from this plight
find a way and cross the sea
fulfill your dreams and make it a reality
burn this wilderness
fuck this silence
ride away with your fire
be there to see me baby
i'll wait to merge in your fire

Satisfaction

there are days bygone
and the days begone
i struggle to find
myself peace of mind
lightning strikes and thunderbolts come
i strive to survive
and finally get some
Satisfaction
now i rule this world
and these fools are dud
i never mind
the extreme fame that comes in my stride
bullets are shot and cannons fired
but no one can take my life
oh. and i get enough
Satisfaction..
