Blur

sections and aisles
rows and columns
divided and separated
arranged and ordered
everything in its place

yet Life!.. is a mess,
no boundaries to repair,
failing to distinguish.
what is real.. ?
what is not there?

All seems a Blur
a fantasy..
I am no longer sure
If this is me.. or just destiny..

Abandoned Hearts!

In a closet of afternoon
glowing memories
in deep red
words of comfort

holding hands
on a Summer's eve
blue lake
.. your eyes are dead..

reaching out
wipe the tears
..a colourless stain..
of longing

the heart..beats
like a resounding knock
on an abandoned door
..all is black..

Tiger-Lily! :)

Another Dark Lord!

Trust me to be the one
who fate chose, for the fight!
whenever i dwell in delight...
to catch me , by surprise..
throwing me amidst the war
as they chant,,
The savior!... The Lord!

I do not fight to own glory
or triumph over those who suffer
I only fight to complete the story
saving all and as many
tearing down the crossroads
of time.... of destiny

the prophecies run amok
declaring my fate for all to read
and I end up as the green-eyed savior
to keep the dark-lord at bay
and the world at peace

I wish i could mock..
stutter and frown
or ignore all that goes around
give up all.... in exchange of normality..
but fate always gets its dues
even in the realms of impossible fantasies!

Drained

words of comfort
arms around
hands held tight
stray tears...
lurking about
thoughts of loss
of emotions
of respite
I drain you all...
I take away.. a little of your life
the burden is heavy in my heart
and i stay away now
keep my horrors at bay now
keep myself astray now
so now you have your own
and i have my own... life!

zamana!

zamane ki soch mein ... na jane hum kahan hain!
humari nazar mein lekin
yeh zamana jawan hai..
nayi khasiyat, naye khayalat hain
par is boodhi zameen ke dil mein
koi humara kahan hai?

tanhaiyon ke pul hain
akelepan ke kamre
nadaniyon ke charche
aur majbooriyon se kharche!

aaj ek pal ke liye har fasana jawan hai
par har jawan pal ka yeh fasana kahan hai?

aasuon ke katghare mein jo khada hai zamana ..
to use faisla sunane wale jasbaat kahan hai..

Snippets.. thoughts..

kabhi kabhi...
bahut man karta hai ki koi khaas saath hota..
fir khayal ata hai..
saath hota to yeh khayal na hota

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

apki baaton mein khoye..
aur raat ho gayi..
bina aankhen band karke jo soye...
subah ho gayi...
aapke saath bitaye kuch pal..
aur zindagi ho gayi

- dedicated to varti.. thanks for a grand bday..

San Francisco

Golden gates
sunny state
seaside walks
lovely talks
foggy skies
starry nights
twisted roads
droopy boughs
friends along
singing a song
ultimate peace
sharing thoughts
moonlit paths
rides in BART
taking a cruise
finding a muse
figuring it out
as sun sets down

i can say it in a word..
californication is the term
