A SONG FOR YOU

All of my songs one day, I will play for you
All secrets hidden, my heart will say for you

If you ever get stuck or else get confined
Ploughing out barriers, will make way for you

If you ever get the pains or else get hurt
Sheets of good wishes, I’ll try to lay for you

It is your happiness and success always
My hands will rise all time to pray for you

And if you get depressed or get upset
The fate and destiny, I’ll try to sway for you

If I could earn your trust, faith and smiles
My existence and my life, I will pay for you

Collecting our moments of togetherness
Turn them to gleeful nights and day for you

The world may cease, the universe may halt
But my heart, mind and soul will stay for you

NOW

All I wish is to get rid of all the thoughts
So that nothing just remains in the mind
Nothing to ponder over or think about
And no chance for memories to rewind

It is not the past that I desire to plough
Unfurling of the precedence instances
I don’t need castles of dreams of future
Coz foundation of just air does it fences

Hence what is left is just the present
Without any yesterday or any tomorrow
No feelings and no emotions to deal
Neither any happiness nor any sorrow

Let everything finish or let it initiate
And leave the fate to be clandestine
The past and future may be strangers
If I realize this present will now be mine

FRAGRANCE OF LOVE

It is a sweet smell around
The aroma filling the heart
And relinquishing the soul
Captivating into a paradise

It is the garden of flowers
That blossom thro’ hearts
Bringing about happiness
Also blessings in disguise

And this fragrance I’ve felt
As it has filled up my lungs
This I don’t want to exhale
And never want to sacrifice

For only this I have longed
And now when I’ve found
The feeling is quite abstract
And this I can’t summarize

MY GENRE

In an effort to pull up the strings
In order to strike the right chords
Creating a pleasant music of life
Echoing thro’ to vindicate my genre

Along the peaceful sound of silence
The noise of which seldom breaks
From ears to reach the heart n’ soul
Assuring me of my triumph on fear

At times leaving all that was the best
In some obscurity I now want to rest
Disappearing almost leaving no trail
Chances of being revealed bit meagre

As it’s the absence of all the desires
That will require efforts to conquer
And whatever achieved I wish to lose
Letting the world to scoff and sneer

For now I wish to step into abstract
Differentiating between false n’ fact
From which peace I want to extract
Now its rule and ways I need to figure

FOR YOU

It is your thoughts that just don’t leave me
So it doesn’t matter if you’re with me or not
And because of which all my sorrows, I forgot
Leaving only a sense of bliss for me to keep

I just don’t know how and I don’t know why
I need to talk to you, before going to sleep
For there is something in our conversations
Making slumber upon my eyes calmly creep

For your voice showers dreams and hopes
With it upon my heart happiness too slopes
Reaching up to soul as happiness envelopes
As tension and sorrows take a clean sweep

The pleasant sound that falls upon my ears
That comes thro’ you, promises and swears
Along with me, thro’ out my life will adhere
The sense of this feeling is strong and deep

WAITING

It is waiting and it is waiting forever
And seems as if it just won’t end ever
Coz from the time, the eyes opened
Have been looking up to something

While watching the time moving on
The waiting also transformed itself
First just wished to be able to crawl
And then tried to walk, run and to fly

Along with it also trying to express
All the feelings accumulated within
Starting with babble n’ stammering
And then singing and shouting loud

Waiting again to learn and to know
Taking the first step into the school
And then waiting to get into college
Again quitting the same to get a job

While spending time with parents
Waiting to move along with friends
Then hanging along finding a date
Finally settling down into marriage

Even after the job and the marriage
This waiting just does not conclude
For now it has turn into kind a habit
Being the eternal part of one’s self

The wait continues and moves by
And now it’s for kids and promotion
As you climb the ladder of the life
The waiting to attain similar heights

And now what you waited for self
Now you wait for the same for else
And it is almost a kind of continuity
That will keep moving on till infinity

READ ME NOT

Read me not
For if you get addicted
To the way I write
And then think like me
It’ll make you unhappy
But I don’t want to see you sad

Coz whatever I pen down
Is just sheer nonsense
Kind of meaningless stuff
That is also a waste of time
If you devote it to that reading
One day, you’ll really go mad

All that’s written quite strange
Putting unnecessary burden
Thro’ the head into the mind
It’s a maze leading to nowhere
Making one lose out to the senses
And the whole idea seems too bad

For all the weird thoughts
That always invades through
Taking my senses into captivity
Making me difficult to understand
It’s sceptical or just gibberish
Its mysteries wish I could unclad

DEAD AND BREATHING

Dead and still breathing
Some fragrance seeking
For blossoming the soul
Before ultimately leaving

I want to gather memoirs
Remembrance collecting
All that will travel along
Final sigh almost heaving

Threads of the thoughts
Now gradually unfolding
Loosening upon the grip
That I was busy knitting

But awakening insights
Off late finally realising
Upon which I built trust
This world was deceiving

LESS ORDINARY

I think I’m less than ordinary
For I just can’t be compared
To anyone wise or visionary

Truth might taste a bit bitter
But to me its flavour’s sweet
My idea’s quite the contrary

Success may lie in triumph
Yet for me it’s like a sacrifice
Peace that’s contemporary

Its knowledge people preach
To be followed n’ understood
Except I’m short of vocabulary

I do not strive for the riches
Nor do I build upon wealth
I only wish for the necessary

RAISON D' ÊTRE

(reason for being / justification for existence)

Its coz of my own efforts
And time I have devoted
Can’t be easily sacrificed
And is to be clearly noted

Quite aware of the truth
I know the route is tough
The voyage won’t be easy
For problems fair enough

With tryst may overcome
Along with sincere efforts
Reaching out to intention
As all the senses concerts

It is not aim or ambition
But it’s more of the quest
Also a battle within self
Soul desiring for conquest

Reigning on own thought
With calmness and peace
That thro’ the soul spread
By which life will appease

SAINTHOOD

Searching for the unknown
I am on a voyage all alone
To none I attach or belong
Nor any wealth now I own

Though journey is endless
I am ready to travel along
To reach beyond horizons
To see my wisdom grown

And this world I’ll disclaim
For one day I have to leave
Behind the all else but soul
Without the flesh n’ bone

The free spirit will triumph
As a resurrection will occur
Building kingdom of peace
And there attain the throne

THINKING TWICE

The love at first the sight
Suddenly the next instant
Just transforms to hatred
Emotions never constant

Often the right thoughts
Ends up by being wrong
That seems simple, sober
In real are quite defiant

So one has to learn a lot
Avoiding overconfidence
Certainly it makes sense
Think twice of judgement

Better to have patience
Not jumping to conclusion
And this way many a loss
Is rather easy to prevent

BUSY AS HELL

Moments flashes by with lightening speed
Unable to cope up, the delays just exceed
And all that been wished almost achieved
Remains now only time which I really need

For moments hard to clinch, just cruise by
And how hard I chase, never able to lead
Hence the instant of time remains ahead
And I keep on lagging as it always proceed

Always fall short of the expected duration
This weakness of mine, I have to concede
As the routine of mine never gets punctual
Also the schedules often seem to recede

For I am being kept busy, busy for nothing
Nothing to accomplish and nor to succeed
Coz I want to lose myself and escape time
And of my engagements I want to be freed

CORRECTIONS

Everything that must have been erred
Wonder if any needs any amendment
But the senses indulged in a dilemma
If the wrongs really needs corrections

Repenting and sulking upon past acts
Whether those efforts really justified
Or may the forgetful mind go carefree
Its endeavours escaping resurrections

Entangled heart as if lost into a maze
But the attempts to come out go futile
It’s as a cobweb that will not let go free
Hence be prepared with all protections

Yet emotions that bundle themselves
Forming into somewhat like pendulum
Swaying n’ stretching to extreme ends
Instantly between hatred n’ affections

And desires that aspires to be perfect
Assessing the faults and the drawbacks
Only can continuously improvise upon
But can’t get rid of all the imperfections

ENDLESS STRUGGLE

The life is what the thoughts make of it
Past, present and the future closely knit
Without any edges almost as if endless
Neither escapes thro’ corner or conduit

Borders and boundaries round as world
And no matter to where you reach out
Your steps will always make you return
It is almost impossible to find out an exit

You have to remain and you will remain
Enduring all the sorrows and the pains
For the hope and expectations stretch
Of forthcoming happiness giving an intuit

And well as of me, what should I speak
Wonder if life’s chasing or I’m following
Finding difficult to grip on my existence
But then still my survival I will not forfeit

Living up to the very last breath of mine
Until the last drop of blood drops down
And if I can’t run or walk, still will crawl
Reaching up to where this life files a writ

QUESTIONS

Questions! Thou art quite a few
Every instant there is some new

Hovering on the mind and soul
And to escape, chances are few

In form of words or expression
Looking for your opinion n’ view

Thou may be riddles n’ puzzles
Sometimes leaving just no clue

Expecting replies and answers
That may be either false or true

Question may often be the bait
Thrown so as to judge n’ review

At times reluctant to face them
But this way they’ll only accrue

And upon the load get crushed
Thus are equally hard to eschew

No use running away from them
For till eternity they will pursue

So let them just pour upon me
Totally submerging in their hue

WHAT'S NEXT

I was good, then turned to better and then best
Currently thoughts engrossed as to what’s next

I triumphed over the mind, then body and soul
Now considering if remains any more conquest

I had loved and hated, then buried the feelings
Dead are now feelings of admiration and detest

I have lived and died a infinite number of times
Surviving the turmoil always thro’ every pretext

Emotions, feelings and sentiments still do exist
Though the heart had put these to ultimate test

It’s a sport to perform or a battle to be fought
Expectations high in both forms of the contest

Cruising along the obstructions and hindrances
Let’s see now beyond life’s storms and tempest

Solutions turn problems, answers to questions
As in my life there always remains some quest

Often this seems weary but it’s a kind of puzzle
Towards the infinite level, it keeps the interest

The future turns present, the present the past
And again what is next, I try to seek in earnest

LET ME DOWN

I just want to say let me down
Because I think I fear the height
Where you want me to escalate
For now I do need some respite

Unable to withstand suffocation
From the place where I belong
With the sense of restlessness
Coz I think I’m not that strong

The altitude seems quite high
But the stamina cannot match
And the efforts wishes to halt
Hence from ties, let me detach

With tryst to get free I wriggle
For this climb just doesn’t end
And success seems worthless
I feel it’ll be better to descend

For the inclination's quite steep
From where I really fear the fall
So I wish to preserve my energy
Coz later I don't want to crawl

Achievements now just amuse
And with my heart can’t comply
For now I want to take retreat
And now my desires I won’t defy

ONE LAST NIGHT

Lonesome in the darkness
Thoughts again set to sail
In high sea of imagination
That sight couldn’t curtail

Shimmering stars guiding
Moonlight showing ways
Trying to rekindle hearts
By setting emotions ablaze

Spreading feel of warmth
Into the whole atmosphere
Developing in confidence
Removing angst and fear

Yet sleep refused the eyes
And restlessness in silence
Indulged me throughout
Preparing for long absence

Leaving for the journey
Without any destinations
Along a route never taken
Having no halt or stations

With a continuous walk
Along an endless passage
Hoping for a steak of light
So the night comes of age

THINKING OF YOU

Thinking of you now like never before
The feel of love seems more and more
Overwhelming emotions like high tide
And waves breaking beyond the shore

The thoughts burns like candles bright
Illuminating both the heart and souls
The light then reflect n’ refracts along
Playing to the ears the musical score

Creating sounds that exhibit serenity
Tuning the dreams and imaginations
Into an atmosphere of contentment
As from clouds of hope, smiles pour

Moistening all feelings that I possess
And also creating a sense of warmth
Evaporating the anxiety and worries
Exuding the care n’ affection in galore

A new acuity that earlier didn’t exist
With feeling as if being on cloud nine
Sailing through the winds of the dream
Which leads the identity to extempore

DUST

It is dust from where I have risen
And its dust in which I’ll be buried
Along with all the tears I had cried
And the blood too that did bleed

Almost everything turned to dust
Being carried by the gust of wind
Settling and then scattering away
Along with the desires and greed

Everything seemed meaningless
All the wishes and the ambitions
And from the burden of survival
Finally a feeling as if being freed

Wins and losses that did accrue
Now were just timid occurrences
As now no regrets for the failure
Neither any aspiration to succeed

Presently indulged in nothingness
Feeling as if being with the winds
Without direction or destinations
As there isn’t anything else I need

ME OR MY SHADOW

It’s me or my shadow, along the trail
Often follow and also being followed
Through a light flamboyant else pale
By light dim n’ dying which glowed

Both think alike or their belief differ
A load or a support that is bestowed
Dragging along, carrying throughout
While the energy constantly flowed

Walls and grounds reflecting images
Disappearing but which also crowed
Maneuvering and moving amazingly
Diligently, swiftly sometimes slowed

Is it a real perception or a fake image
Shadowing or powering my identity
Or may be it attempts to camouflage
All blessings that have been endowed

Whether a follower or stalker of mine
Appearing and disappearing at times
In the gesture that seems clandestine
Along which my wisdom gets stowed

A NEW MORNING

Gradually the sun lifted itself
But not amidst the two peaks
Of the usual mountain ranges
By where ray of light streaks

Also not from the end of seas
Where it seemed to lift itself
From beneath the blue waters
Towards a new world to delve

It is not just a source of light
But brings about rays of hope
Penetrating inside the hearts
Where all grief it’ll envelope

Leaving just happiness to last
Spreading the feeling all over
Bringing about the strengths
And above good omen hover

As last spot of darkness gone
It’s now new morning ahead
Brightening upon your spirits
Let this light scatter n’ spread

And illuminate just everything
Almost as a welcome surprise
Breaking thro’ from anywhere
Helping the dead spirits to rise
