The final Tryst .....

I think what i am,
where contentment is a sham !!
Where ignorance satisfies the basic needs of life,
and knowledge is a virtue but it teaches you to dive !!

The need for affection or belonging is not there any more,
a world filled with despair and apartheid is evermore !!
Where seeing people dying of prejudice and hunger,
does not move people or focus their anger !!

We live in a world which evolved with a big bang,
and even in those wee hours there was a someone who sang !!
The history after that is just too gory,
and nothing can be done to bring back the humanity and glory !!

We live the lives of the ghost who never died,
we change ourselves as if we never lied !!
We still try and cause an aftermath,
a revolution could not teach us nor the resultant wrath !!

Inhuman goodness does not fill the earth,
its just too soft and the anger has no dearth !!
The wolves dance but we dance evermore,
animals we were and are today completely to the core !!

We cannot change is the call we make,
not thinking of the future whose fortune we are trying to rake !!
A selfish protagonist fills up the body,
its not clean any more but dark and muddy !!

In boxes we live for today and not for tomorrow,
we enjoy solitary happiness and also its sorrow !!
We are proud to say that we are diverse and growing,
but in the end we are a lawn that's undergoing mowing !!

The isolation is just too great,
everyone is as free as a bird but its not too late !!
Its just the souls that need to be changed and undone,
its a tough ask but they are human and it can be done !!

I think and i live and i strive for that day,
when the horizon will be clear and we shall see the sun's ray !!
I still believe that we can clear the shrouds and the mist,
and see the rainbow at the end of the destiny where we shall have a tryst !!

Inanimate but has life .....

It glitters and it glows and it's filled with light,
it maybe the most loved and forsaken in the nights !!
Its white and draped in virtues of fun,
it lives a life enjoyed by none !!

The landscape around is covered in this white beauty,
if you cannot see the innocence you have not done your duty !!
The misty skies call out aloud,
its mine and you have taken it so please be proud !!

The man with the white beard and the big sack,
lives in a wonderland filled with all this in his rack !!
His reindeer's feed on the imagination of this gift,
they try and taste its wonders and it helps them to lift !!

I am human and so i cannot taste it,
but i try and use it to keep my imagination lit !!
It helps me wonder and think,
it takes my spirit as if it was a sink !!

The bare trees in the moonlit sky,
beckon it to come and join them in the tie !!
They refuse as if it's too lame,
there is no excuse to leave the ground and hang with them !!

They Absorb the shadows and the sounds,
they give fun to a child sitting on a merry go round !!
The footsteps that show but are not heard,
are the final desire of a vagabond or a bard !!

I wish i was one of them inanimate but still alive,
living in ones imagination where there is no need to strive !!
I wish i could fall down with shows of splendour,
and cover the ground with significance but still tender !!

The night lives on and so does the glory,
the light lives on and so their story !!
They lie on there in the cool breeze so low,
its nothing but the serene and sacred snow !!

The widnow of Unity in Diversity ....

An isolated room with a bolted door,
with a window to the world that touches the floor !!
Seeing the birds high in flight,
and feeling the wind which blows with might !!

Where eventuality is lost in a dream,
and you can helplessly shout and scream !!
Where you can toss and turn,
till the wounds begin to burn !!

But you know where you are led,
is the place where destiny bled !!
Ever thought why the kingdom's too high,
ever found a reason to die?

Ever felt the fleeting momentary chill,
as a child sitting on the window sill? !!
Never can the reality be false,
do you think while doing the final waltz? !!

The healing touch of a human hand,
where dreams had transformed into quicksand !!
A society divided by creed color and caste
with makings of an apocalypse coming fast !!

The satellites far far above,
beckon the birds to spread peace and love !!
They are lifeless but they spread light,
showing a vision to people if things are wrong or right !!

Sitting on the rooftop staring at the stars,
is a pleasure that only a dreamer can feel and not the cars !!
The lifeless but moving wind can make you feel,
it can make you stand and all the wounds it will heal !!

People moving in patterns of confusion and hatred,
makes the lost pattern of rhymes more sacred !!
It gives you the hope and the bliss to carry on,
the reason to look to a life that's not lost but won !!

It helps you never to doubt,
that a small group with hope as a bout,
can make a new and better universe,
where peace prevails even if everything else is diverse !!

Fear forgotten and division lost,
is the price you pay for the final cost !!
If everyone did care and everyone did love,
the world would be filled with no hatred but white doves !!

Diverse is genesis and the life it gives,
a stagnant light music is the life it lives !!!
It will be achieved when you see the dark side of the moon,
so just close your eyes and listen to the hopeful tune !!

The Music Man .....

He has a rhythm in his walk,
and lots of notes in his sack !!
He moves on with time,
and he does not want a dime !!

He hums a lovely tune,
which takes you for a trip to the runes !!
The haunting melody encompasses joy,
it leaves a mark on every man woman and boy !!

He can dance away darkness and bring back light,
his soaring musical laughter makes the world so bright !!
The strings of his violin are ever so taught,
he can weave magic with it whenever its sought !!

He plays the bitter sweet symphonies of life,
and when done there isn't anymore strife !!
A stressful day can be brought to an end,
when he plays the guitar as if he has no money to lend !!

The mythical music rings in the air,
when his fingers move on the piano with flair !!
Provoking every dreamer around,
to dream on while listening to the melodious sound !!

He speaks while under the tree he sits,
Music i don't want it !!
I need it, to breathe, to see, to feel,
to know about life and to be able to heal !!

He's not utopia nor is he bliss,
hes human and him u will always miss !!
He can bake mystery, calm and peace in his pan,
hes nothing but the one and only music man !!


Dedicated to all the music lovers and musicians of the world who bring about harmony !!

The City ....

I am lost in the revolution,
fighting for some rights and bags of ration !!
For a place where people lose their religion,
not for the lack of faith but for some unknown reason !!

A land where freedom means a great deal,
where the betroth en shores the Ganges heal !!
Where people still have the right to say,
i cannot work as its just another lazy day !!

A marketplace where dreams get sold,
some make silver some make gold !!
Some still sit with eyes full of prejudice,
they could not accept such a close miss !!

Where the fairy on the memorial flies every night,
and hovers above like an angel showering light !!
The bridge on the river shining in glory,
its seen the past and wants to tell its story !!

A city where the raj ruled once upon a time,
now ruled by people, malice and crime !!
But goodness is something you cannot forget,
and it lies in the heart without a regret !!

Colorful figures dancing in the shade,
the moving crowd in an esplanade !!
A place where the glorious past is still preserved,
where time and fashion changes but art and culture is still revered !!

Where once strived a famous ray of hope,
where people still want to reach the top by climbing the rope !!
A land engulfed in magical lights,
in the middle stands the grassy sights !!

A land of hope and a land of belief,
where even the ignorant if they try, get relief !!
A land where life dwells in every creak,
where the oblivion is the last to go bleak !!

Its the place where i was born,
its the place where i had my first piece of corn !!
Its a city of joy filled with hidden sorrow,
its the place where people still dream of a better tomorrow !!

A Fairy's Tale ....

There was a little fairy Queen in the land of Oz,
with big black eyes and butterfly wings how happy she was !!
She liked to eat an apple and sing and dance and play,
she liked to go to dreamland each and every day !!

Sleeping was her hobby in her soft bed,
with care for her close ones always in her head !!
She dreamt about fantasies and lived in fairy land,
she liked to create magic by swinging her magic wand !!

With every passing year she would get younger,
with every dream she spun she would be stronger !!
She liked to roam and travel in her black toy car,
and she liked to cuddle and hug her fat teddy bear !!

Beauty arises envy and people speak bad,
that's the only thing that got the fairy sad !!
She looked around in hope to get some belief,
but lost in hearsay was the friend who could give relief !!

Then one day Santa came with his gigantic beard,
he looked at her and said that all of it I've heard !!
He did not show her pity but smiled and patted her head,
and said you are a fairy queen, its late so go to bed !!

He took a book of bedtime rhyme from his huge and heavy sack,
and read it in his usual way till the dawn was about to crack !!
And while the birds flew out of their nest he whispered in her ear,
you should be happy like ever before and no one should you fear !!

He gave a smirk and a wink and told her in mirth,
envy is a common thing and people get it from birth !!
You should be proud that others are envious of you,
you must be having something that the others could not accrue !!

Good old Santa picked his sack and told his reindeer's to go,
and just before he departed he gave his old ho ho ho !!
The fairy Queen waved him away with a new lesson learnt,
she knew she was a honest soul and nothing of hers were burnt !!

Next day once more she danced and played and sang out aloud,
she said i am the happiest here in this envious little crowd !!
She ate her apple and swung her wand and magic she saw and heard,
the lovely smile on the fairies face never again disappeared !!

Change of places ...

Colorful bottles lying all around,
the smell of ether and the musical sounds !!
There he sits on his age old chair,
writing away about the world with utmost care !!

Intermittent smoke rings fill the room,
he knows his time will com very soon !!
Thinking and forgiving all misdeeds,
he drinks his wine and counts his beads !!

He peers through his dreamy eyes at the walls,
he knows he is killing himself beyond all calls !!
He knows that the time will not stall,
and he will leave the room and the hall !!

His ruffled hair and beard are still young,
but the souls grown old and so his liver and lung !!
The rest of his body cries out loud asking him to stop,
but the ciggarettes remain lit and he drinks till the last drop !!

He sleeps with his head on the table,
he continues to breathe in a way that's unstable !!
He dreams of the past and the future and the end,
Satan arrives and asks him for ears to lend !!

He wakes up and listens to his masters call,
he thinks he has come to take him from the four walls !!
He thinks finally he can open his eyes and say,
i am free, i am unbound and i like the day !!

Satan sits down and touches his hand,
says you are too young too join my land !!
You are hurt and disgusted and lonely,
you try and kill yourself to join me daily !!

But the truth my son is that you don't belong in hell,
you are a pure soul and should hear heavens bell !!
I house only rotten beings who killed and hurt others not themselves,
if you want to meet such people earths there, no need to hunt my shelves !!

Satan stood up and touched his head,
he said life is long and you are not dead !!
Do not leave your dreams and your belief,
and try and live in my gory lanes for relief !!

The master went away in the middle of the night,
leaving the old soul with the young ruffled hair with a sight !!
His dreams changed to that of futuristic thought,
he lay back on his bed with the mental peace head had got !!

Next day morning the bottles went away,
the smoke rings did not have another word to say !!
The young soul continued to write at his table,
and his pen wove dreams cause he was more able !!

Satan sat above and gave a hearty smile,
another being i have saved from walking this mile !!
Someday i might change places with the man with the crown,
he might be here and me with his magic gown !!


Dedicated to all the satans in the world who try to make the world a better place to live in by giving good advice to people

Drakness in the white ....

Flurries of white hit the landscape,
the trees are bare and the leaves have no escape !!
I walk through those silent streets,
leaving my footmarks on the ancient retreats !!

The distant cold horizon beckons me to come its way,
i sit still keep looking at the distant lights on the highway !!
Time passes by and so does a million evolving thoughts,
they cajole me into moving into a stagnant dream of sorts !!

The soft and subtle veil which covers the land,
tries to call out aloud and pulls me by my hand !!
It lives on my mind like a parasite,
and sucks away reason and light !!

The cup of coffee has frozen, so has the joints,
could i ever freeze up those wonderful points?? !!
I play truant with the reality at large,
it asks me to think and force out the barge !!

The wooden windows move and creak,
they remind me of a time that is not too bleak !!
The broken silence of the inanimate life makes me smell,
the scent of a life that was once mine but is for an others to dwell !!

The frozen glowing frontsteps beckoned me to come in,
but i walked on amongst the shadows of the trees and the desperate lightening !!
I opened my arms wide and let the cold fill my soul,
the air was too little to cover an entire whole !!

The grass glittered in the sparkling lights,
although covered in white they still wanted to fly like kites !!
No one other than nature to stop them flying,
i decided to stop my fruitless life and crying !!

The broken branches on the tomb,
does not stop a mother to take care of her womb !!
Though both are covered and protected,
they are the past and the future both un projected !!

The innnocent snowmen fill the roadsides,
they still belive in troy and the heavenly rides !!!
They did not know the realities of relations,
they thought that life was fun and filled with celebrations !!

I wanted to walk out of the cold alleyway,
i wished i was a child with snow to play !!
I wanted to be innocent and have the joy,
of being a human and not a warrior of troy !!

The snow white dwarfed angles ran up beside me,
they said its always a question to be or not to be !!
But till the end be merry and live a complete life,
though u are partially paralyzed with the truth of the unpleasant knife !!

I walked on till the dwan broke through,
i listened, sang and stepped on till life was true !!
Walking amognst the fibs of being lonely and pure,
i knew that someone someday would pay for me being sure !!

The white pellets from heaven stalked me in my innocence,
they caused me to think and turn and know that it was all a pretence !!
I walked down the lonely ground into the haze,
where life was a standstill in between a crystal maze !!

The Gulf and the Dogs ....

There was peace every where and the missile struck,
the truth was was lost and people were stuck !!
They wanted to leave and go,
but did not have the means to do so !!

Jesus was free on the empty streets,
picking up souls from the lifeless feet !!
He did it with sorrow and a lot of displeasure,
but in the end the war broke out beyond measure !!

Two unknown Samoyed's played on the ground,
the war was on but they were not bound !!
They were dogs of the war and wanted to play,
in the dusk and the mist and till it was finally a day !!

The music of the gulfs were long gone,
lonely hostility did take away its dawn !!
An unexpected prejudice filled the world with sorrow,
a life and a kind struggled for a war begone tomorrow !!

The Samoyed's still laughed and played,
as the future of their kn owns got hazed and ma zed !!
They barked and scrambled for the bone that was dug,
and when not found they settled for a hug !!

The battle went on and so went on their story,
they knew in their minds that the future was gory !!
A cage not engaged with the bolts of of a lock,
did not prevent the thief without the conscience of a rock !!

He came in the middle of the night when the gulf was still being shelled,
and took one of the happy beings way in his arms while the other rolled and yelled !!
The discovery of the crime was too undiscovered till much late,
and by that time the other was a recluse, filled with hate !!

The attack did finally get over,
though the life there was never the same ever !!
The Samoyed still played when it was let out of its cage,
but he did realize the misery of loneliness and rage !!

Soon it reconciled to the absolute fate,
that never would he see the other at his gate !!
He decided to go and find the other at the final door,
he killed himself till they took him to the sea shore !!

They did meet at the end of the division,
when the guns had stopped barking in the oblivion !!
They did find a new horizon at the end of it all,
but was it enough, was it the final call ??

Never be the creator of such a crime ,
that stops life and its rhyme !!
The war ended but the Samoyed's still barked,
in a gilded cage not seen by the people lost in the dark !!


Dedicated to a brother who has faced realities of both the Gulf and the loss of the Samoyed's

Dreamer Dreamer ...

Dreamer dreamer search your soul,
weaving dreams that are dark as coal !!
Knitting and stitching up an untold mystery,
rewriting the past and putting the future as history !!

Dreamer dreamer you lonely being,
listen to the symphonies dance and sing !!
Bitter and sweet moments of life,
are like melodies which cut the inside like a knife !!

Dreamer dreamer you vagabond,
you lost the ties in the unassuming pond !!
You let it go as if it was just another note,
from the guitar whose string played but broke !!

Dreamer Dreamer you hopeful painter,
you paint it with happiness so that grief can't enter !!
You painted the walls with brick red,
to hide the place where your imagination bled !!

Dreamer dreamer you mask your sorrow,
with the desolate thoughts of a better tomorrow !!
You live for the present in dream land,
hoping that childhood had not become grains of sand !!

Dreamer dreamer you magical myth,
create the elixir to stop others from falling into the abysmal pit !!
Share your thoughts and your story,
even though they may be black and gory !!

Dreamer dreamer you fly all around,
you are a million different people in one bound !!
Imagining and laughing and breathing away,
you sleep while you are awake to keep the realities at bay !!

Dreamer dreamer live your dream,
do not loose those eyes with a misty gleam !!
Dreamer dreamer with long brown hair,
dream on till we walk up the heavens stair !!

Lucifer ....

He sat on his forgone blue couch,
upright, head held high without a slouch !!
Looking at the stars above he dreamed,
while people on earth shouted and screamed !!

He saw a shooting star and said,
there falls my evil twin,
he too will go to another hell,
and new tales of his demise they will spin !!

Was he happy, was he sad?
no one could say as he was an expressionless lad !!
Some left him, some feigned not to know,
some said he stays in hell and so he likes to live low !!

He still thought on in his brooding silence,
he had his music and his memories and the astounding absence !!
He had sold his mind, his soul and his body,
he knew he was now just a nobody !!

His path to another heaven was not there,
as his only virtue was not to lie anywhere !!
He was damned and forgotten and pushed to the past,
and he was oblivious to the knowledge that people moved too fast !!

He spread his wings and he tried to fly,
he tried to touch the deep blue sky !!
Every step he took he looked for hope,
cause he was Lucifer and knew there was always scope !!

They ignored him, they said he feigned it all,
they said he's a fallen angel, so never answer his call !!
They said if you go with him, you too will be damned !!
Ignorance is bliss he said, but bliss is like grains of sand !!

The more you try to clutch it, the more you let it go,
bliss is like that my friend and on sand you can never sow !!
One day when you know this truth and you turn back to stare,
I might be light years away as i felt one day no one did care !!

Sunday, December 9, 2007

Tomorrow is another day ....

We live today in mirth and sorrow,
we dance in the open and in the rabbit's burrow !!
we bless the world for its ignorant game,
we know that some people like to be lame !!

The social boundaries bite,
its nice to fly in the sky like a kite,
but even then your are tied,
to a handle and a string that guides !!

Some try to break free,
and some try and revolt,
some say its part of the game,
and become nuts and bolts !!

Human emotions are hard to understand,
Freud tried to draw some with his magic wand !!
Creation by nature is an unknown art,
interpreting it would make the creator of the universe less smart !!

Boundaries are many, and there are great divides,
but the origin is the same like the ocean tides !!
Hatred and love go hand in hand,
in a world where people still fight for their land !!

Hope is still there in the eyes of the beholder,
the future will be strong and insolently bolder !!
They will learn from the errors of the past,
they shall know that the die is never cast !!

They shall live in a world they created,
they shall dance away unadulterated !!
They shall know that the sky is at bay,
they shall say tomorrow is another day !!

I am .....

I am greed, i am cursed,
i am in disillusionment completely immersed !!
I am faith, i am hate,
i am waiting for him to open the gate !!

One day the bell will toll,
and the judgement will be told !!
It may be right, it may be wrong,
perception is what will sing its song !!

I am a dream, i am the fact,
i am gracefull and do not have tact !!
I am in need of a reason to run,
i am in need to see the sun !!

Running ahead, ahead of time,
beliving in myths is still a crime !!
Belief itself shuts the door,
and i am stranded far from the sea shore !!

I am lust, i am love,
i still believe in the white dove !!
I am mercy, i am trust,
i am hypocrisy, believe in me if you must !!

Draped in fortune, covered in wealth,
joy forgotten even though there's no stealth !!
Worried with desires to gather more,
values were lost to the core !!

I am human, I am life,
i am just another name for strife !!
I am living, i am alive,
i am hoping till the moment of the final dive !!

Questions ......

Taken away for a ride,
on a long and lonely tide,
the ocean seems too big,
but is it not worth the last gig ? !!

Roaming the roads that did not call,
watching the hills that were not small,
echoes came back with fond memories,
the future did hold untold mysteries !!

Fighting the lullaby's that put you to sleep,
is tougher for a man than the sheep,
cause you can think and u can reason,
and if you fail it is treason !!

Living on the edge is a tact full game,
but when the supports not there it's not the same,
venturing on faith and trust and belief,
it will come true if you want the relief !!

Satan's reprise is a long way to come,
apocalypse will end the sun !!
But will it end the rain falling down?
can it cover the human crown ?

Even though the lightening covers the cloud,
and masks it with its glittering shroud,
do you not see the dark background?
Do you not sense the lonely vagabond?

Questions to ponder upon,
while life is not a sum,
and you walk by, as if nothing mattered,
living the dream which was all but shattered !!

Life - The Truth !!

Life's not a movie nor a TV Show,
some learn it early, some learn it slow !!
But every moment is worth living
happiness is worth the giving !!

Dreams and desires need not come true,
and the sky may always not be blue,
but even in the black cloud,
you can hear a music that's loud !!

Chasing your dream is never wrong,
its just another way to sing your song !!
Obstacles will be there in middle,
you just need to solve it as another riddle !!

Belief and faith is still the key,
if u don't believe, u'll pay the fee !!
Wars and battles shall rock mankind,
but it does not make every human unkind !!

Promises are there to be kept,
else when you wake up, you'll never feel u slept !!
Life still is black and white,
bad incidents doesn't take away the light !!

Life is beautiful, life is long,
ask the dead man who coud not trudge along !!
Live it with all you have got,
a second chance may never be sought !!

Blurred Memories !!

The silence speaks,
and the memories are too bleak !!
Reinforced emotions run around,
life itself makes no sound !!

Belief and faith a thing of the past,
the earth revolves and people move too fast !!
Deep down inside the child still cries,
the man in front only sighs !!

Smoky vapours sorround the land,
blurry eyes look for a hand !!
But he's forsaken, forsaken with time
he doesnot know for which crime !!

Living on patience and on hope,
living on the edge without a rope !!
Echoes all around speak aloud,
go ahead and catch the passing cloud !!

Optimistic Pessimism ..

The tears dried up,
the souls not there,
I am a stone,
in an evergreen Fair !!

Rolled twice,
into a bottomless pit,
the injuries too deep,
and i can't be hit !!

The crust gone,
the inside hurts,
I cannot move on,
my mind blurts !!

Gathering strength,
is a thing of the past,
a flag flying low,
on its lonely mast !!

Pretence and masks,
flying all around,
roped and tethered,
bound to the ground !!

Hoping against hope,
that the wounds will heal,
and know for a fact,
that the fate is not sealed !!
