THE ROAD OF (K) NIGHT IN THE DAY’S REST

Faces of humanity that we see…
Different persona that we meet in life’s journey.
Varied facets of growth that we come across…
A journey where everyone a self-boss!
So many carriers spanning this earth,
Connecting people right from their death to birth!!
After all just sixty years of this has been…
Traversing long distances had been a boon…
Until the threats of society had come into the zoom….
But why get scared of this all?
A part of life’s journey it is after all….

This poem speaks of the journey of train.

Mother - Nature

Oasis of love in them we find,
Ocean of differences is all she binds.
Through her every chide and simple gestures,
in all, love slowly nurtures.
An eye for beauty she gives,
A heart for the ailing is all she asks.
She caresses our feet, in dark.
One mother and nature that we have failed.....
while she endures us all....
If for her we call it duty,
isn't it ours, to care her beauty?
saplings grow and leave....
she stays along, still more to give.
An inspiration, against the odd she survives,
while we have got on in our lives!

A mirror that reflects the past,
for chide and actions we blame,
while we forget, it is God we tried to tame.

a feeling that we failed to express......

While we run in the race of life,
it is to her we look upon in strife!

all enduring, ever embracing figure,
she ever stands...a forgotten mirror.....

to Her i bow......
in your waters I play....
in your winds i relax....
in your fire i burn ego..
to your soil i bend......
to the sky i go back.....

this for every mother, who has stood through every phase of their kids....
through every hardship of her family....who thought of her family before herself....
and yet ever remained in her poise and never changed.......


just like our nature.....
the winds which have never changed their courses since time the earth was born....
the waters which have always remained the same irrespective of where they went and came....
the fire which which burns everything...taking her kids in her own humble ways....
the sky which always looks upon us as an ever guarding guardian!!!

In Search of Lost Life

Fears unknown and known
I had to face,
Unexpected that you would let down.
From past you took me to future.
'hoped for a love that lasts,
wished, for you to come back.
Hate agaianst you now I bear,
Despise too, for you uncovered my fear....
Eternity of love you spoke of,
your hypocrisy and my life's lost!
Time and again I ask,
where was my fault.....
While I suffered,
Why did you just bask??

As I stroll on the path,
the lonely shadows follow on.
As I walk around
alone on the damp earth,
the pain still lingers on...

I have tried hard to run away,
but the past never leaves me.
Beneath the blanket of sky as I lay,
The songs of future called upon;
While the bliss of present is far gone.....

In the race against the unknown,
a heavy baggage I carried along.
I searched for a drain to shed away,
until it got the better of me.
I searched for a corner to cry away,
until the tears had dried in me!

Abstract Joy

The mind caressed every thought,
Smooth breeze flowing thro' the locks
whistled in the ears the sound of the conch.
the whispers of the waves merged with the victorious smiles
a fragrance were sent by hum of the tides....
the fragrance of eternal truth,
the glimpse of the sublime.....

The zephyr comprising in the secret of happiness,
ether seemed realise the oneness.
Aves passing by the joyous smile,
the glory of sadness sung by the clouds....
moments which were once a pathos,
now were the lessons of the future.

Innocence long forgotten
love unleashed the forces within.
ignorance once a bliss, now a sin,
Wisdom gained out of path long trodden.
Silence emanated from the gaps within,
the silence which now merged with the One.

THE ODYSSEY

Love thyself, or thy fate.
that I came unto you, thou are my mate.
To live with you, i do not promise,
in the end, for you i do not care.
your words, your smile, nothing I miss,
a butcher I am, you a sacrifice mare.

your worries, your pleasure eat my time,
your care and love.....i do not bother.
you have collapsed, yet I'm fine.
you've failed, yet i do not waver.

'Might say, my success is for you,
But never yours, my world's mine.

Do not you dare cross me,
'can never see you glee.

"Images of love in the loved,
Voices of dumb can be heard"
all this "love divine" you thought of,
is the sin committed, that's put off.
do not you think of love again,
it is only success for which i remain.

THE BETRAYAL

THE PREAMBLE

Your expressions in my face,
your thoughts in my voice.....
a dream that we saw together,
are now down in the races.
The race of life....the race of survival.
You stay on, while I enjoy the carvinal......

THE TORCH BEARER

Driven by water,
The zeal of fire she encompasses,
The emotions of pain and joy she surpasses…
A life led in pain, in times of joy…
Tears shed in vain in times of buoy.
Risen from the debris, to reach the ultima
She travels….
A ray of hope in crisis she unravels.
She runs - only to halt at the maxima….
For her journey goes beyond the life’s decree…

THE LEGEND OF THE FALL

Ever groping in the fear I was,
For a hope to be one among the mass.
A fear that was never really mine….
A glory it was to be sung in the melanchonous chime.
A world created in my own self,
Stranger I was within my own.
Caged was the bird in the old shelf….
A misplaced identity in the replaced gown….
That I call….
Is the Legend of the Fall….

Legend of the Fall that am told,
Is the life of experiences.
A heart, to emotions; that it has become so cold….
For every moment of test and results of grievances,
Is the life led in failures….
And brave is the heart that endures….

Comfort of speaking; am unaware of,
A tearful night that I see.
Emotions to be felt in silence that I know of.
When relations get strained,
When someone you know
Turns someone you knew to be….
Then to traverse a lifeless journey it is ordained!
To the providence I bow…..
This I call….is the Rise!!
Rise of the Legend of the Fall…..

Sleeping Beauty

In the waking hours of twilight,
lies the world in its pathos and plight....
the angel of sleep sweeps her wand....
amidst the chaos , a moment of bliss we find,
Back to hell towards the dawn....
the peace and war ever waging in the mind.....
