come again

come again

With hollow claims of a life
I asked for moon from the sky
And the stars that came by
Riding on the chariot
Of the moonbeam I dreamt
Lay scattered over this path
as my fingers failed
And my feet stayed glued
I sit silent
my head resting
on sounds of castles
erected on water
That never flew in rivers
From the land of my survival
And the sky whispredImage
You need to be born
Yet again…

no title

Walking on thin air
the horizon seems hazy
Do i caress this river’s surface?
Do i touch atoms that come from nowhere?
I search far and wide
I long deep and deeper
I laugh at absurdity of life
I cry at audacity of death
Still born I look for a reason to scream
Till I fall on deaf ears
The way the witch glides down the aisle
Riding her broom of wishful thinking
In the moment of wasteful weighlessness
I dive to emerge defeated, cheated
Yet ready to die for another lifetime.

new age emotions

in an attempt to touch the base

of my vocal chords

I cry out aloud and harsh

I caress a ball of fur

and my palm feels a hardened surface

what could cause it?

this subtle erosion in my soul

it does not hurt

it sits silent

in anticipation

of some new age emotions

that could carry me

across these clouds

shaken or broken or mended?

may be I will know

or might not know

but I know this gulp sitting right now

will never leave the base of my throat

this is made of the matter

stolen from my soul.

trying to break free

circular roads never meet at junctions

the access track

that emerge from one point

ends in echo of successive thoughts

 

thoughts of intrinsic

self contained parlance

 

that myopic  stance I sent in horizon

boomerangs at my doorstep

in multiple wavering shrieks

 

if I ever get up from my post

and walk away nursing my sprained ankle

I end up feeling disjointed

at all joints that ache and cry out aloud

for painkillers that put me to sleep

 

and I deny this shallow oblivion

until it reaches my inner core

to put me to sleep.

to die

Is it me ?
or is it the magic of you being with me
I rest my case at our threshold
here
I test waters with both my feet immersed
if I swim across my ocean
I regain youth and die unseen
 if I drown I get to see the bottom of our sea
entangled in weeds
 immersed in salt crystallized from our dry tears
I rest my case at the altar of we
or is it just the magic of you with me?
  I rush towards gray evening
while holding dear to a single thoughtless carefree morning
 I check every corner with a sigh of wish full glee
 till I drop dead and still look around for a single sign of thee
is it really one big portion of me?
or is it simply the charismatic magic of you being with me.

whiffs of life

Open to the winds, wolves, elements
hunger, thirst, passion, love , fruits of fufilment
acid rains of forbidden lakes
 is it one single sun ray ?
or it is one dark cloudy drape
 over the head of a shy lass
 bride that could be and never would be
 groom that should be and never would be
lethargy writ from horizon till the sea shore
 tea that brew over open wires
pavements that reek of fond footsteps
 pavements that whisper lores
 whiffs of coffee through these nostrils
 shouts in attics like banshee’s screams
come hither you awkward animal
halt and spread your woven carpet
 this is the place to sit and eat.
