Inception!

Inception!

 

I did not yearn to have you remain close

Neither by my side, nor forever tied to my toes

All I wanted is to have you in my memories

Some moments together, to live a life in those

 

I missed to have those chit-chats anymore

To just sit beside, and watch you galore

And fade away in the tick-tock of that wall-clock

As you turn pages of that book, sitting on the floor

 

I never wished to be part of your shining laughter

Neither to your sadness, nor any other chapter, no, never!

I just wished to be that water droplet hanging by your hair

One that fell upon you, when you danced in the rain, so prettier!

 

Time flew past, life going by, it’s all afresh, and it’s all here

We are no more together, and moments of no more tear

Strangers again, only if someone could sew

Those torn pages of the book, you gifted me last year.

Independence Day!

Here comes that day again
Day of independence, day of liberty
Day of regaining its lost sovereignty...
Day when we swore to bring back that lost glory

To fall from position of world leader
To fall apart of those invasion and shear
To be ripped in pieces for mere gold and diamonds here
To be ridiculed by them all for being kind and peaceful teacher

To get raped and robbed again and again
To get killed in cold blood again and again
To get butchered for standing to its values
To get kicked and laughed, as it did bear; for ages, all that pain

But enough was enough; it was not a mere sheep
It gave birth to warriors and brave hearts too,
Who vowed to break free those shackles without fear
And to rewrite that story of history with the ink of its blood and golden tear

And today, it has been years of all that
Things have changed, and it’s all much better
True, we still have several wounds to fill, many holes to fill
But, our beauty lies in our persistence and determination
Our desire to keep moving forward despite glitches and hitches…!

A Smiley!

 

A Smiley!

 

To walk through fire, to stand by storm

To stay upright when being forced down

To not loose calm amidst rage around

To keep moving forward by the lost ground

 

One needs courage, and guts to rise up

To show one’s choice to accept and suffer

Find its way through the darkened corner

Let own blood melt those chains tangled

 

Suffer, what you must, it will do good

Believe yourself, keep your head high

Smoke some joint and dance by every dawn

Welcome another day with no sign of malign

 

Let yourself burn, let self melt

Let it make you shine like gold, strong as brick

Let it drive you away and distant

Let yourself discover a dreamland everyday

 

Catch a butterfly, and sing it a song

Smile though the heave of pain like insane

No wonder you will come out afresh

Brave like a lion, and roaring in a flash

 

We live for someone, we die for some

We may find ourselves lost at some moment

But, life is a journey, we must accomplish

And walk past waving our hand high as we finish...
