An Urge!

An urge to write

The emotional vibe

Your love, your feelings

From the core of your heart

It makes you feel same, as

An urge to bring

Justice, to fight

For a cause, for love and peace

For what is right

To bring smile on faces

Of those

Sad and deprived!

 It seems hard

Like walking down the road

With a blurred sight

In the midst of rainy night,

Like trying to fly a kite

Against the wind, high in sky

At an ultimate height,

Like to sail a boat

In sea, through its current

Through its high tide,

Like to burn a candle

In the evil dark, facing a cyclone

Holding it’s shaken, yet

High on spirit, it’s light!

It all may seem hard

Impossible to achieve, but

That’s where lies

The challenge, I accept

I will always

Continue to fight

I will always

Continue to write.

Keep Silence!

Keep silence

Like you never spoke

Your lips never parted

Like you never knew

If there is something called words

Leaving it to die, its premature death

Before alphabets could take any shape

Like you never heard

What is sound,

Even if it was chocking, right there

In your throat

Just listen

Don’t speak

You are not supposed to

Even if you are asked

Just nod, pretend

Don’t let your emotion roll

Keep it hidden

Emotion makes noise

Be careful

Keep your eyes shut

They say even they could speak

Whole story, silently

Just prohibit it

You are not supposed to

Disturb them

Else you would be punished

By the authorities

Of love, of loved ones

And your own soul would

Make you feel like a criminal

For hurting them

Just to make yourself feel better

Just to cry your heart out!

Encounter with Truth

A desperate try

To hide it, to fake it

Like no one is watching

Like no one would ever find

You lie, to none other than yourself

Oh you poor animal!

Your eyes wider, your muscles stressed

Your ears ringing, your hands shake

Heartbeat racing, breathes out of sync

Still you make your lips dance

Bringing an evil smile to distract

No one but your own soul!

You thought you could get away with that?

To fool someone was that easy,

Like telling a kid, there’s a granny on the moon

Shame on you, coward

Beware! Before it’s too late

Before it starts killing you, mercilessly

When you sleep, or in dream

When you awake, or at work

Before your own soul refuses

to recognize you, to forgive you!

You could never make truth your slave

Whether Keeping it decorated, or beneath diamond walls

Neither Make-up nor fancy gold sheet would work

It’s eternal; it is no one’s prisoner

And, once it would start dancing naked

You would beg for mercy, you would cry for death!

That Girl Wearing Kohl In Her Eyes…!

That girl wearing Kohl in her eyes

Eyes that were deep

Like a blue sea, full of life

Spoke love and grace

Silently, jovial soul of her

Flickering innocence all around

She walked like a fawn

Roaming in her own thoughts

Careless, afraid of being lost

Whispered something

Euphony swirled in the air

Making a rainbow of words

So musical, so magical

Like a poetry

Or a painting,

Carving an artist’s imagination

Perfectly into a piece of art, and

I felt a sudden urge

To explore, to steal,

To touch, to feel

Her soul, her beauty

Too curious I looked upon

And she was just smiling at me…

*Kohl- Kajal in hindi, a decorative cosmetic used to wear in eyes.

An Illusion

We live in a fake world

Most of time,

One full of fiction, deceptions

Where thing looks like we want

Where thing happens as we want

Where thing sounds what we want

Even when we know, it’s dangerous!

Even when we know the price

To be paid, once it’s over!

Do we love to be in, or

We are forced to?

We are not blind

Or deaf or senseless

Why than we are deluded, or

We fall to it, but somehow

Embarrassed to accept the truth?

Does it mean we lie,

To self, to our own soul, why?

A dark desire buried in heart

Deep and more, of name, of fame

To rule, to kill, and no shame

To stand on par with God

Slicing the throat of truth

Beneath the foot of lies,

Weaving a spider’s cocoon around self

Slowly behind our own shadow

We die in a fake world

Number of times!

PRAYER OF A DYING SOUL

Prayer of a dying soul

Missing words, breaking breath

Losing vision, slowing heartbeat

Still a prayer, to almighty God

Take me to your shadow

Let me be thy slave!

On the way to last journey

With Silence all around yet a fight

Soul to self, who did right

Who lived it or who would regret

And a fear griping around

Would it ever be able to stand in thy sight?

To confront self, to answer own soul

It always kept running away

Carrying loads of sin and lies

That it did day and night, though

Kept on weaving excuses and illusions

Making everything to appear full and bright!

A fight lost long ago

It knows it could never win, and

It knows, has nothing more to lose

But a last chance

Seeking forgiveness, it asks thee, the almighty God

Take me to your shadow

Let me be thy slave!

Shades Of Some Moments!

Shades of some moments

Scattered like a broken glass

Here and there, shining, blinking

Giving a glimpses, various colors

Mysterious faces and shapes

Of near and far, here and there

Squeezing through the sharp edges

Cruel yet tempting!

It reflected a part, absorbed some

In the tranquility of its own shadow

Though breaking sound kept it dwelling

Penetrated its soul, Next moment

When someone walked over it,

Thousand more like him were lying there

 Still carrying that beautiful scattering

Of the light, passing through them

A rainbow perhaps; even bigger!

Rejoice and Claps

It got, when placed on a center piece for display

Under the flickering of a tiny bulb

Filled the blank space with a sense of eternity

Scattering rainbow and images all around

Amazed by its beauty, I kept my hand over it,

Couldn’t escape an urge to feel it, to touch its tempting boundaries

When it pierced through my fingers,

Sucked the blood out of veins,

Bringing me back to reality, instantly

Felt that pain deep inside, Shocked and surprised

I looked at it again; unmoved, silent

It was still carrying that sense of eternity

The rainbow, the beauty, only difference

My blood was a part of that beauty now

Shining at the edges, even more tempting

Like a red lipstick on the lips of

A seductive lady!
