WINGS OF TIME

time

its wings

like that of

cute lovely little birds,

or of sweet charming butterflies,

flies far away so very quickly

leaving behind nothing but just unnoticed ash

of decayed pain and sorrow and forgotten bliss

wings of time...

PS : i really like the pic... :) ...

Chasing Rainbows

Choosing one path, yet
Heart in doubt
Ahead lies the road of life
Smile might fade, but
Inner strength must persist
New heights to be achieved
Graph of the journey is curvy, sometimes

Roses and sometimes thorns
Answers none and questions many
Images familiar yet so strange
Not sad but still not happy
Bright sunlight lies ahead
Orange, red, green and colors many
With hopeful heart I move ahead
Searching and chasing the rainbows.

LIFE

I have lain eternally in wait, to listen, to see,

I have poured my life into the heart of this earth,

I have searched for the unknown in the midst of the known,

That is why, in wonder, that is what has awakened my song.

The lines are from a Rabindranath Tagore poem. Tagore juxtaposes the eternal bond between man and his self with the bond between man and nature. The harmony and the wonder that spring from and define this bond gives rise to these words from the poet.

ANGELS TO ASHES, DEVILS TO DUST

That pain was forgotten
Those bruises were gone
Life was new as I tried to move on
Once again things seemed to be fine
The cuts and rashes were getting filled with time
Once again I learnt how to fly
Once again I learnt how to hug the sky
Things were beautiful, things were new
Once again the words seemed true
But again the dark shadow has been cast
Once again I am in the painful past
The box has broken and so has the final string of trust
Angels to Ashes and Devils to Dust

The tears seemed far away
Happiness I thought was here to stay
Once again the grass was green
Once again the world wasn’t mean
Once again there was no distress
No more was pain my mistress
Once again smiling wasn’t a task
There was no need to hide behind a mask
But now I know the façade is here to stay
The more I want happiness the more it goes away
The box has broken and I have been cursed
Angels to Ashes and Devils to Dust

Your memories will never be the same
This heart will never take your name
This angel is not yours; this devil is not yours any more to claim
But now I wont have no repent, now I wont have no shame
For it’s time for the phoenix to rise
For it’s time that change is a must
For it’s time that the Angel is Ashes
For it’s time that the Devil is Dust

DARK BLANKET

ilent night
soothing night
away from the harsh lights
of truth and reality..
so hard to accept

in the blanket of darkness
i lie warm and soft
away from the freezing cold..
of the frozen white sun

d light ignites me
like a torch..i burn out

knowledge will kill me
ignorance is my bliss
in ignorance i shall win
lying bleeding on the ground

‘coz in the dark i won’t see
the blood gushing out
from the wounds i no longer feel..

just a new pain

lost amidst so many before..

silent night
soothing night
take me in your blanket
and smother me tonight
rise no more
may i, to burn under the cold sun
sleep may i forever
in the warmth of your soft cradle..

CATALYST

This is about anything or more precisely any phenomenon that happens to us atleast once in our lives which creates a mind altering scenario where much of our critical reasoning and logic fails. This phenomenon cant be judged in a scale of good/bad , the right/wrong or the positive/negative. Its just stateless and its there. But you can relate to it on several other emotional dimensions like courage,love,apathy,telepathy,fear, etc. Its really upto you on how you feel like relating yourself to it. Thanks!

An intervention in me , became you
Endless years in wonder
That voice in rain calling
my name, the silent thunder

I gave up slowly to your charm
And embraced this transience
From a vacuum to void calm
to a metaphysical genesis , became you

An interaction in me , became you
Clutched the tenderness tightly
Afraid to shove the unbearable
Therefore I changed slightly
Like blue water into a crystal

Your unsurpassed dexterity
Created a neutral world inside me
With full of dreams and purity
Now rendered vague but indeed , became you

An imagination in me, became you
A helping hand , the moment’s need
But from where I stand, its not too deep
Your thoughts keep evolving like a seed
Inside this mind trampoline, the change is so steep

Beneath the soil lies this unfinished portrait
Not a cognitive synthesis but a psychic bet
Within a span of intimacy and a smile that’s due
Thus I changed , I became you…..

Well-Wisher

Wake up my dreams,
Envision them; revel in the pictures they paint.
Lost in infinity, a billion lives intermingle;
Lurking among them, don’t remain.

Witness my life, each moment,
In you, a mentor, a protector I search;
Shield the blows, cushioning me so,
Hold my hand, steady my stumbling steps,
Encourage my ventures into the unknown,
Remain forever, if you will, my well wisher.

P.S: This is for my well-wishers who have always believed in me, encouraged me and saw me through many a difficult time. Thanks a ton. I will always be grateful to you all.

Waves At The Seashore

This is one of my favorite poems…. was lost sumwhr within the pages of my old diary….

I started out to think.. that this is my story..
But when I moved on further I realized that it’s not..

No poem belongs to one person.. n this is the most beautiful thing about poetry.. In few words, it can capture the lives & sentiments of many..

This is strange how everyone shares this element of similarity even while juggling with one’s own uniqueness.. How everyone wants to blend in.. This poem is nothing but an idea.. a thought blended into rhyme.. you might have felt the same at some point of your life.. or you might have seen this idea somewhere else.. in someone else’s words.. But, the core remains the same.. n It always will be n that is..

You are Unique.. just like everyone else..

I’ve flowers blooming around me
& birds flying high in the sky,
There’s so much to be happy about
but still I find myself so dry..

As the world moves swiftly in front of me
I’m standing here all alone,
Thinking if it will lose its pace
When I will be dead & gone..

Will I be remembered with love
like the essence of a breeze,
Or will I be forgotten
the way leaves wither away from trees..

Will the winds stop blowing
Will the rainbow lose its charms,
Will the sky miss me standing below it
Opening wide my arms..

Will the sun reduce its intensity
Will it stop shining bright,
Will the stars & the moon miss me too
gazing at them at night..

Will the earth stop spinning for a moment
& notice my absence,
For all I did was to live a life
without making any difference..

For I lived like a stubborn tide
crashing at random places,
Trying to embrace anonymity
scared of my different faces..

Tried to suppress my individuality
wanted to get lost in the crowd,
Always trying to keep them happy
while my own soul cried out loud..

I always tried to become
what others wanted me to be,
In pursuit of their love
I stopped loving real me..

When the truth basked upon me
like a sudden blow,
I broke into a hundred pieces
Didn’t know where to go..

But life’s not meant for crying
for nurturing hurt & pain,
With a new sense of purpose & hope
My new journey began..

When bad times come to break you
It’s only to strengthen your core,
Coz no matter how tall a rock stands
It has to turn into pebbles to reach the seashore…

SHOW ME A WAY!!!!

Muted moonlight beams

That stream through window pane

On me casts mystic dreams

Of unconquered goals that begin to wane

Stars that shine with brilliant light

Show me the way I have to go

In which direction I should take flight

Only they to my heart can show

A breeze that blows through the cloud

Whispers to me tales of unknown lands

It causes me to tell my thoughts aloud

Hoping for success as it stands

Black night of hope

Guide thy pupil in his quests

Teach me how with pressure to cope

Show me the place where pleasure rests

Stars that shine bright

Muted moonlight beams

Cast on me now thy light

A shower of hope in my dreams
