i see a cart, a load of sand
i see a hardtop, over the rubber bands
a man puffing pride, straightens his tie
a man resting in sweats, unable to stand
Too hard to live, too soft to die
i watch them stare and look away
unable still, to battle my gaze
ragged to the bare but trouble is fair
looks at the […]

Happiness is in “no regrets”
But we run after vanity
And looking through our eyes,
Everything that we see
is being blurred
by the misdeeds of humanity!
   
If you want to shed some tears
Wait for your turn
for we are at this circus where
everything ain’t fun
Wait for the curtain to fall
Await your return!
  
Numbers count more
500, 1 lakh, […]

Enraged drops of life
from dark unholy disguise;
death over terrains.
 
 

I’d posted this one on my blog some time back. Here, i’ve changed the title and some lines. Please read twice before drawing any conclusions…or…maybe…you don’t have to    …just a thought…Cheers - to Life!! 
a curse that devil has put upon me
a path that has been shown to me
the brighter it gets, the lesser i see
the larger […]

when the memories of the long gone
return, to break you down
and the expectations of the loved ones
open up the wounds profound
when you cry,
unable to stop the tears
you intend to hide,
remember me by your side
watching the drops form
at the corner of your eyes…
crying myself within
unable to bring the tears
i intend to hide
as they they flow through your […]

 
If you think that you already know,
          then its better if you go.
If you feel that i am angry,
          [don’t worry]
                    i’ll never let my feelings show.
And,
if you’re trying to frustrate me,
          i’ll find a way to disagree!
talk sweet and use me
          but i’ll know when
                    you’re trying to abuse me
                                                                stop once!
                                                              think twice!
And now,
if […]

Nothing comes for free,
freedom has its own cost,
sometimes you pay,
sometimes you make others pay,
either way,
you get tangled into this worldly joy.
and struggle -
to survive another day.
Nothing comes for free,
even freedom has its own cost,
you walk around with your burdens
and imagine that they are lost!
and before you realize,
there comes another fear
there comes another pain
wrapping you around […]

dreams that break
hearts that shake
eyes that meet, and
roll over the other way;
things that happen
happen anyway.
is there anything left
for me to say?If i wash my face,
for you to spit upon
if i love her like i should,
just to see her gone.
if i learn “everything”
only to lose my mind
if i encage my soul
and free mankind;
there is nowhere else
for […]

sing little bird,
tell me your story
i’ll write it down
before you get buried
the words i write
will forever speak
of your long lost soul
and withered beauty
sing little bird,
forget the bars
weep away
the unshed tears
your mind,
they cannot encage
sing little bird
don’t turn your face
sing little bird
chirp away your wounds
the sky is your limit
don’t look at the ground
one by one,
open up your […]

Dark clouds of vanity,
engulfing me slowly;
horizon of soberness,
constricting - stifling …
am i sane?
.
My vision of clarity,
blanketed -
by subtle obsession
i take a plunge  [into the void]
am i lost?
.
Drowning in my sorrows,
i’d invited,
that rained on me [heavily];
my only desire…
escape!
 .
This fodder of humanity,
i’d taken,
when i came in -
is choking me badly…
Help!!

drenched with shadowy pain,
u shook and shivered;
like a gazelle
in the rainstorm,
flooded by the river,
of your bleeding heart;
u waited on me…
 

i too am a helpless being darlin,
this you know, and… i have known,
a gust of wind this might be,
but…
a puff of smoke is all that life is.
.
A brief moment we’re seen,
struggling to keep together,
and in no time we disappear,
into the thin air,
or…
get blown away,
far away,
not a trace remains.
.
what we do, what we are,
it does matter,
these […]

lord!
this can’t be,
the man in the mirror,
it ain’t me…
‘look around, all i see
sightless folks,
staring at me

Life, it seems to be,
is light, love and liberty.
A mind,
that wants to see,
A heart,
that loves thee, and
A soul,
that wants to be free.

An old man has just arrived the town
feeling lost, feeling down
he stops for a while, rests on the ground
and sings of the pain that he has found
lines of age carves his face
the tired mind has lost its grace
worn out by time, eroded by fate
he awaits patiently for his final bait
