Learn what a child has to offer. Dedicated to my sister.
Written for a very close friend of mine for her birthday
The viscious cycle of spurts of glory, unanswered questions, and confusion is nothing but chaos. Written during a train journey sitting at the doorstep of the train.
This poem was written in the beautiful hills of Garhwal, and dedicated to my first love, and angel to me .
This poem is addressed to a 'successful' man, who despite all he has achieved is unhappy in life, and has lost love and concern somewhere on the way.
Written when I was very low.
The day the life is tiring ,
And world is sick as sick can be
No passion,dream and hope to bail you through
Then pull to wish that wish is true,
To leave all fears unfounded
And live the child you were
With innocent looks, when looks were true
Yes, miss, and miss-the age that can never be!
No calculations, no rush of blood,
not even the thought for survival.
But safe in arms, my sleepy wee !
The mama's care, and loved by all
Treasuring a smile, the twinkle in eye
A simple cry when hunger strikes
The playful mode made all then bow,
Oblivious of the fear- a cruel , cruel world!
There you are- tenacious so and yet so lax,
The little age and collate that intense
Those petty words all so exclusive.But even so
Implores for love, for love all need.
Say O man! Be blessed you recall your saga
Even in fancy, relive the sage naive .
And though time past will never return,
Thank now the virtuous seed, and pray be a man!
Old memories from an age-old age
unearth and lo ! The smile still stays....
The eagerness evades the moving time
and fire yet burns in charming eyes...
What gift can gift to ye so nice
X'cept sing in praise and utter these lines:
The happy hours' for all to see
But wait for the moment the rainbows cease
To tell me your sadness n' share me your pain
for here's a friend, goes never in vain
To be or not to be ,
now there's the question.
To face to adapt or dare to escape
then there's the confusion.
To hope the cloud bring rains
or seek the clear blue sky?
Can I prove be an oracle of rebel,
or should I seek inspiration in pain
The jumble is the qualm of today
Curiousity is inborn in man, and mayhem its aftermath.
Is this why man so confused? So frustrated ?
More so, why am I ? I beg you , o stranger ..
Where 'is' the happiness I seek
the moments of memories and dreams
the journey to paradise , the era of content...
What then is ambition? Where thence are the roads ?
Call me anomalous or baptize me insane
But pray tell me my purpose of life ....
The phase comes in each one's life ,
when he questions existence, the very quest for it.
So where lies the power? The decisions I make ...
Some believe it is you, some weep for a God.
To trust the wise old man or say what say you feel...
Some stick to dirt, some learn the hard way
But there's one big truth for all to see
Chaos is all around me, and chaos is all I feel
The viscious cycle continues .....
Times like these I'm mawkish ,
Looking up the sky, seeking beyond stars-
With terrene beauty ebbing into shadows,
A smoke in hand, song on my lips-
Searching for my dawn, my flower of life
Where are u ? I strive for you.
It's not an obsession, a sine qua non
Nor a dilemma of juvenile infatuation.
The pain's embedded deep ,
The fire you inflamed deeper
My heart's all void ...
bar memories of a smile
You say it's difficult, what in the world isn't?
You say you're far- now remember our love:
The soothing touch, the walk till eternity,
Holding my hand , dreaming for dreams
as deep as the ocean, your eyes....
Oh ! pleasant, pleasant were the days.
I know you're close, you always were
Your virgin tears still burn me hollow
Weeks I've dwelt in sight of thee
Then why this distance, will I bear no more ?
Stay near me - do not yet depart,
O friend , please! I can endure no more.
The fever's rising, now don't be late.
O Doctor, my doctor! Come kiss me hither
Kiss me face and limb, before my Tale is done
Then nod to William's words-
When we'll meet, we'll smile.If not
Tis' true , this parting was well made.
Standing tall, and yet so low
Amongst the alpine moor.
Still a colossus, but dying to perish
Where sunk is ambition now ?
You hope you're happy
Craving heights , n' braving strangers
To depart from people who love
But, only a small price to pay ?
All did love you once,
Prayed for fame and luck;
There-You play on emotions and amity,
grasp, bestow them a lifeless life ?
Why curse 'stances when reason betrays
The inner voice has lost its power,
And mind rebels heart.
Faithful no more: Hope holds no more.
You think you know what's right?
Then act to shun that's wrong!
To wait for time is child's play
Corrections foe to false pride ego.
To stay in the rain pains
But bear the sun: even more!
So bathe now the sapphires of life.
Prefer to persist, then be reviled, unsung, unknown......
It's a lonely path,
I know not where it leads me
No milestones, no guide on the way
Just crossings to decide my fate
Strange is the fauna all around,
stranger the creatures that seem to stray
But wait ! I see someone- mebbe a friend !
Alas ! He had but not a heart ...
Just rock-faced, and rock-made
futile to me, a shame to humanity
And so I tread on,
On and on ... the way's so long
With thoughts in my mind,
when freinds were on my side
They are still ! But none nearby ....
I wonder, and always wonder why
The heart's so sad, yet face a smile
Reminds of the jester who made all laugh,
play's over, and over it is.
And yet he goes on,
till he ever can ... alone !
Oh I miss the time, with people so true
now faced with with a sunset, a night ahead...
Now I "shall" walk, till horizon is mine,
in midst of flowres, where dreams unite.
And make a road, away from thorns
to ease some pain to some.
But if I can't, falter on the way
My bones will make a bridge
.... my love for all a bible !
