A Dream

A dream
     A death
          A dead end

A Silence

You and me
Sat beside and
Listened to that song.
A song sung by-
The rain, in the dark

A silence
A breath
A smile

Along the rains
Into the river.
Like a river that
Ever change but
Never change.


A smile
A silence
A breath

Along the river
Into the ocean
Ocean with waves
Floating above and
Calm deep within

A breath
A smile
A Silence

The Journey

A train
The journey
A Tear.

There was no choice
But to move away
There was no choice
But to catch a train
There was no choice
But to break a heart

A train
The journey
A tear

Between You and Me

Between you and me

There are three 'I's

The I that I know, the

I that I told you and

The I that you know.

The I that I know

May not be the I

That I told you and

I do not know the

I that you know.

Day and Decade

It was not a day but decade
The walking besides with
Glitter in your eyes.
Your solicitous warmth
Soothed my woes and
That smile on your face
Took my breath away

It feels like it was a day
And not a decade...

The aroma of that Rose
Intoxicated me; the Rose
That you never given to me; and
I know you loved my missives
The missives I never wrote to you

It feels like it was a day
And not a decade, but
It was not a day but a decade

Chosen Ones

They were the chosen ones
And so they chose to
Walk away...

Pain

The pain of

Losing heart

To heartless

Path

She said left

He said right

They parted away

A Lioness Woe

The Lioness in the cage

Had a lovely forest past.

Now she has a city cub and

She doesn’t know how to

Tell her son that they

Do not belong here.

Cannibal

He ate brains to boost his brain
Testicles to boost his sex
Human fetus for his health and
They called him civilized.

I accidentally bit
My tongue and
'Drank' my own blood
And they called me
A cannibal.

Ladder

She asked him to

Hold the ladder

So she will not fall.

He held the ladder

Coz he heard her say

She climbed, up

Up, up and away.

Away she went

Alas! She went.

Still he holds the ladder

Coz he can’t hear her say

 

Back in the bench

I sat on the bench

With tears in my eyes.

You opened the window

And sung a song for me.

I strolled your trails and

You left a fortuitous rose

In my dreams you came alone

And stole my heart from me

Back on the bench with

Tears in my heart…

You opened the window

And sung a song for him…

 

Old Age Home

The ornamental tree

New leaves got trimmed

Old leaves stayed.

 

 

Cafe

I happened to see this unfinished one:

In the Café with rain outside

He sat near the corner stall.

Waiting resulted in nothing

But he waited, just waited

The candle gave not just light

Hot tears fell down the eye.

Vacuity filled the memory chair*

And memories crammed the mind

(*Memory chair - a chair where somebody used to sit whenever he was in the cafe that brought him lots of old memories)

Now, when I read this, I have a different mood. So, what might have happened in the café?

I think the café guy changed the disc in his music player and there came this Michael Jackson song:

“Do you remember the time?

The Tree (of Wisdom)

Under that tree they sat and
Under that tree they took nap.
They traded dreams and thoughts
They resolved quarrels and agonies.
Under that tree they sat and
Under that tree they respite.
Within the tree He sat and
Through its shades He spoke.

MileStone

I am a milestone over the highway.
Cars and vans, bikes and trucks
Men and women, boys and gals
They all passed me in ones and groups.
Some looked at me; some did not
Some stared at me; some did not
‘Yes!, we are almost there’ some
Shouted with cheer; and some
Said ‘Oh No ! long way to go’.
And Some? Some did not see me
And they lost their way, somehow.

Perspective

We were walking,
Me and the sculptor.
We kept walking,
Me and the sculptor.
“Did you see that”?
He asked me with joy
“Yes, I do see, it’s a rock”
“Just need to clean it..,
it’s really beautiful..
Wait..”, he added.
Took out the tools and
He started cleaning it.
The last sand fell
From the hourglass...
“WOW it’s really fantastic”
I said looking at the sculpture
“Sorry, I could not see it”
"It was just hiding, just
Hiding within the rocks"
He smiled at me with
Sparkles in his eyes.

Hell and Heaven

The hell and heaven
Do they really exist?
People don’t believe
In hell or heaven, just
Because they exist, but
The hell and heaven
They just starts existing
When we think they exist!

Chrysalis

Some thought he doesn't exist
Some thought he died
“What’s wrong with him?”
Wondered some more.
He did not breathe
Nor did he make any move
He did not drink anything
He did not eat either.
He looked mummified
Though he wasn’t dead.
He was just transforming
Like a pupa to butterfly.
He transcended the time
And travelled to places.
Through the clouds and
Through the wind; through
The sky and through the ocean.
And now, it’s just a waiting
Waiting to be re-born, with
Peace within and peace around
Love within and love around
It is just a waiting, just
Waiting to be re-born.

Mind it !

I don’t live between the ears
I do live in every cell of yours
I don’t live just in every cell
But I live beyond the cells
Who am I?
