O Sea!

O Sea!

O sea!

When I saw you that night

Lying naked,

Below the transparent cover of moonlight,

On the bed of sand

Alone, your waves as wet hairs

Flying over the face

Your voluptuous body

Floating here and there

And you like a lady

Lost in her own thought

With no sense of shyness

Just waiting for her love

To come and embarrass her tight

Cuddle her, touch her,

Fill her and complete her

Though as grew night

Wait continued, and no one came in sight

When I saw you that night

A sense of loneliness filling the air

A desire to be touched, to be caressed

To be fulfilled, in the shape of clouds

Decked all over you

Conversing feelings of teenage rivers

Fuelling it, and desperation on your face

Silent screams, to reach him, to find him

Your tides breaking limits

Rising high and higher

Like going to bring the moon down

You breathed fire

Volcano erupting in your heart

Tears rolled through your eyes

Salty water, still…

When I saw you that night

Rainy night and storms

Like trying to hide your tears

Trying to stop fire in your body

Trying to dilute your screams

Under its noise

And world thought

O sea, you are the one

Who is filled, and complete!

I can still taste salt in your water

Are you still crying, O sea?

Let’s Play!

Let’s Play!

Let’s play

O dear time

The game of life

In your own courtyard

Under your own shadow

On your conditions

I accept your rules

Play rough

Play soft

Play hard

Play funny

Play fair

Play dirty

Play as you wish

I promise to amuse you

Play to live

Play to kill

Play to build

Play to destroy

Play on your own terms

I would never complain

Play

Like it’s no match

Like you are already a winner

Like there is nothing to challenge you

Like you would crush my existence

For this asininely act

Under your wheels forever and ever, and my soul

Would just vanish, as it never appeared

Even then I wish to play

O dear great Time

Let’s play

I promise

I would continue

I would rise

Every time I fall

I would resurge

Again and again, and

Will continue playing

The immortal game of life…

THIRSTY SOUL…

THIRSTY SOUL…

Thirsty soul

Walking by sea-shore

Looks through the horizon

Infinite water

With a Glimpse of hope

To quench its thirst

Dives through

Deep down

Swallows it all, but

Salt dilutes the blood

Tongue reacts

Spills it all, surprised

It looks to that

Infinite domain

Disappointed, it walks back

To the world, it left deserted,

World, of fading hopes, dead souls

Whose bloods polluted

The river, and

Water became an illusion

Alas! The moment of apocalypse

It thinks for a moment, and a sigh

Sits on the chair

Looks at the table 

That still had a paper, a pen

An ink-pot with last few drops

Lying at the bottom,

Thirsty soul

Once again

Swallows it all,

Licks every last drop, of ink

Mixes with the blood

Nerves twitches

Venom or nectar

Uncertain, it dips the pen

In own heart, and decides

To rewrite the history

Of someone

Once called

Human!

Hide and Seek

Hide and Seek

Hide and Seek

That we used to play

Long ago, in your backyard

Making our way through

Those plants of berries

Away from the crowd

From family, from everyone

Just you and me

Playing, hide and seek

Oh Dear! How easy was it

To catch you, to see you

Even behind those berry plants

Because my heart was always filled

With the smell

Of your jasmine body

Because we breathed same air

Dipped in love

That came from heaven, blessed by angels

Because our heartbeat

Sang same song

Even in midst

Of all the chaos around

And I knew

Where you hiding,

I used to find you, always

However hard you tried, to hide

What fun it was, and

You wondered, how could I

Did I cheat?

Did I keep my eyes open?

You used to ask

Showing a sweet frustation, smiling

I used to let you

Tighten your scarf on my eyes

And the play continued.

THAT NIGHT…!

THAT NIGHT…!

That night
When words scribbled, magically
And poetry came alive
Floated in the air
Filled it with the euphony

That night
When you laid beside me
Your chin resting on my back
Hairs falling on my shoulder
Friction of skins keeping the warmth
Mixed smells of sweat in air
Night growing in its temptation, and still
I lost in my own thought
Searching for words that could
Decrypt the emotion, dwelling in my heart
Almost a rage, I kept denying
That I too could have my love
In my arms, burning agony
Watch ticking slowly
Sound of heartbeat in synch
Oh Dear! You felt my pain
Did not speak anything, just
Made me look into your eyes
Where love tides were waving high
Passionate to take me away
Asking me to dive through, and
Exhausted I let myself flow
Weighed under your voluptuous body
An urge to sail through those curves
Seduction took over
Lips locked, saliva flowing across
As I went deep within you
Bodies became singular
With no sense to stop, I continued, and
Your arms tightened, a joyous cry
Tears rolled through your chick
You murmured love
And I could feel
Your nails doing some scribbling
On my back, like sketching my emotion
Trying to give them shape of words
That had a sense of poetry, and we continued
To create those magical moments
To compose the lyrics, to pen down the feelings.

That night
When our heart spoke love
You became my pen, me you paper
And, we created a magic
We penned poetry
Whose echoes still floats
In the chorus, the sound of love!

I wonder if I could write anything
If you would not have been with me!!!

PRETEND!

Pretend

Like you are an actor

As you are doing rehearsal of it

Since your birth

Like you are unknown of

The meaning of being real

As you live in a virtual world

Like you are part of a

Mathematical problem

Where it starts with

Let’s suppose, and

Ends with hence proved!

Pretend

Like you do not feel hunger or taste

Even if you are ripping fleshes

Crushing bones,

Sucking blood out of veins

Of your own

Raising toast, inviting everyone to join

Clapping on your own brutal victory!

Pretend

Like you cannot hear anything

Even if your soul crying its heart out

Mind torn, growing vacuum inside

An unknown fear griping nerves

Of losing self, purpose

Carnage over own shadow, and

A turbulence hit, in a cascade

And you feel nothing at all

Your sense organs been paralyzed

It could do nothing, but to watch

Prohibited of showing emotion, crippled soul!

Pretend

Like you are on a world screen

Your duty is to entertain everyone

Raise the voice, lower your gaze

Broaden your lips, let smile take over

Even if they praise you with

Knives and swords of expectations

Stabs your soul, buries you in the debris of memories!

Pretend

Just do it, as it’s your karma!

*Karma- a willful action you are supposed to accomplish…

I SEE YOU STILL…

As I walked by those pathways

Down the hill, alone this time

Pathways, which were once cherished

With cold breezes, smiling flowers,

Dancing waterfalls, greenery all over, like one

In a picture of paradise, Blossomed

With all imaginative picturesque beauty

I see you still, in that vast green grassland

Sitting, under an old tree, playing

With the grass roots,

Singing a folk song, slowly

Euphony swirling in air, adding

Touches of innocence, making it look poetic

Breaking the eternal silence, in your own style

Like the god of love has come to pamper you himself

And, you unknown, careless of happenings around

Weaving a shadow of dreams for yourself

Decorating it, with those memorable moments

We spent together, holding hand in hand

With a desire of being together forever and ever

With a feeling to get drowned in each other’s eyes,

Filled with unconditional love and emotion

With an attempt to get lost in each other’s appearance

Carving to make it two bodies, one soul!!!

Oh Dear! Such was our love, and those lovely moments

Invokes me still, forces me to look back

Even the promise we made faded slowly

As the time passed by, and life moved on

That seed of love we planted, turned to a

Banyan tree, whose branches hanging out even today

Reminds us every time we passes it by

Down our memory lane, of love

That was nothing less than ideal, and though

We failed miserably, it still lives there

Asking us to spend one more evening, together

Below its branches, to recreate that magic

That hypnotized the world, one

We once were ready to die for

I see you still,

Sitting, Weaving, Singing

And the dream continues…
