Once upon

" They deem me mad because
  I will not sell my days for gold;
  And I deem them mad because
  they think my days have a price "
                               - Gibran

When my darkness reminded me of a sunshine

there you are ! entering my soul lucid and laminar

Ghosts of time may have stopped the ticking of clock

and wondered who you are; to the reach of their thoughts

" Arrow of a heartless warrior or
   a word from thoughtless mind

  may be the thorn covered under
    petals from sovereign land "

And how far their thoughts may reach will never attain

the level of vision you brought undistinguished

And they move back again and settle upon

" victim of nature's ill, wrath called .. Love "

..

Turbulance

On the upstream things look different
different than downstream..
flow is inevitable, everyone has to flow through

Level on which you are flowing does not matter
nor it matters on which side you are ..
You never return to the previous point

you can't remain at a single point too long
however stubborn you are, or however rigid you are
Or may be..
however determinant you are..

To accept the truth u need to know..
you are moving and not the things around you

..

Wanna be

Everyone everytime..
they ask me
"who you wanna be ?"
And everytime they ask
I dont know why
but everytime answer comes
"not me"

Me in me who
not wanna be me
keep me growing
over me

so ..
who you.. wanna be ?

Apathy

It's like draining
passing thru my
impervious thoughts

leaving behind the remains
of the foggy yesterdays

buried deep down within
the void of selflessness

feeling of emptiness
bothers me not much
it may remain with me
fill my heart within

cause it's the only truth
at the end of everything

Routine checkup

Every time i start to think
my clumsy mind wonders
wonders about meaningless things

Every time i look around
my bewitched eyes want me to see
see inside me

Every time I lift my step
my restless legs want to run
run across my dreams

Every time I hear something
my waiting ears want to listen
listen all that is whispered around

Every time i wake up
my senseless senses want me to sense
sense I'm alive

Statutory warning !

when you are born
you know no ways
or nothing about walking
when you start walking
you want to see every thing,
each thing around

you keep enjoying
all that world throws at you
some time you get hurt
you stop and discontinue..

become a tourist just watching..
not reacting


everything keeps piling inside
every reaction every revolt
one over other
heart of the tourist pumps hard
pumps hard in vain

And when tourist inside dies..
traveler is born
there begins a travel
a journey with cause
and the tourist never returns..

..

Rendezvous at twilight

Rainbows in the sky
remind me of a helpless soul
having too much in hands
or just an illusion
..
and the game of lie
bridge towards doubt
question of a lingering mind
unanswered forgotten

And i try to concentrate
on things in hand
more they become distant
more they loose meaning

and the whispers i want to loose
keep shouting in my ears

I still keep thinking
a thought emerges
grows and moves on
making way to another

...

Haunted waters

on one of your shores
i stand by,
i stay to reiterate
how insignificant i am

with each wave passing by
you show me the urge
urge with utter silence
and self reliance

i stand to find answers
to unsolved miseries,
recurring worries
and standing uprights

and each time i stand by
none of these bothers
none of these bothers
over your haunted waters

Verticle limit

Standing on the top of my world,

highest peak in the region

exactly as in book

toughest climb of my life

and then a dog beside me

which climbs up daily..

one step closer to heaven

the temple at top.. peaceful

only sound of roaring gust

defying, denying dissolved

yet soul devoted

priest much younger than me..

there is much more than

two sides to a coin,

...

Assasin

you are the legend

greatest of them all

yet no one utters

a single word against

yet you follow me
like a lonesome shadow

and every time i look at you
you are as tranquil as moon

Remember I am not afraid
when i look in to you
but dare not look inside me

there is, a sea inside

larger than you

Oh! random road

oh! some random road
take me nowhere

make me think nothing

and get myself lost 

in the distant horizontal

no more I wish to see

lightened skylines

and no more I wish to smell

this hazy carbon air

every passing second

I feel not belong here

and every second ahead

I see a chance to escape

I see a random road

and wish this time

I'll be free finally

and I wish this every time
