Dreams don't let you sleep
Dreams won't keep you awake
A silent decision
For you to make
A revelation lies in wait


Faraway worlds of wonders
Faraway worlds of hopes
But one decision
For you to make
A revelation lies in wait


Balanced on a see-saw
Your soul untarnished
Imminent death awaits
For all established
For it cannot wait
It works on fallacies
Fallacies about fate
About love and hope
About blood and hate.
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2014
As fast as your death nears
Fate loomed over
As the rain of innocent tears
Shadows recover
And the undertow of the pain
Brings you back

No need to see
But to smell the ashes
And the pain you feel
As the dream crashes
And yet you feel
That small insignificant heartbeat
Those lotus flowers yet unfurled
Those fearless survivors
Those lights around the street

As warm as the summer seas
Love took over
As the winds softly tease
Death recovers
Fake contemptuous voices
Hold you back

Waking up again
An ache inside your chest
Yet nothing compares
And after the rest
Is what you feel
That small insignificant heartbeat
Those eyes that haven't been opened
Those hearts that haven't beaten
Those determined survivors
That life inside the beat

As fierce as the bee sting
Revolution took over
As the final homecoming
Life recovers
And you are free
Nothing can hold you back
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2014
Its time
Finally
To wake up
Go shake
the leaves
come upon you
And wake up

Hustle
Through the little death
Ragged
The sword in sheath
Rumble
Through your fear
Thunder
It will all clear

The shining light outside
Is the biggest ever lie
Get to the dark side of the moon
Yet hope there shall find
The nook where everything lined
Makes us human, makes us cry

Surrender
To nobody, not even you
Obedience
Is a humdrum virtue
Traveller
Everywhere alone
Reverence
Don't heed

Its time
Finally
To wake up
Recover
The debris
Your heart
And wake up
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2014
Punch the walls in desperation
I'm just another one
Another one of the walking dead
There's no hope, no consolation

Screaming at the emptiness
And wondering of a million ways
Of a million ways
That I could make you understand

As the storm came
I ran as fast as I could
I left you behind
I ran into the darkness
Where the skies are starless
Where our dreams turned to ashes

The seeds of love were washed away
On my dead knees I walked away
I walked away
Away from all I ever had

The rains only brought despair
Yet all your smiles were in my head
Were in my head
That I could hang on to forever

As the storm came
I ran as fast as I could
Yet here I am now
Take me away from this darkness
Save me from my regrets
Let our dreams rise again
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2015
Crawl crawl
Burning through
Obsessions
Rotten stew
Crawl crawl
Through the pain
Remission
Is a joke
And life was a game
But is a remainder
of screwups and screwdowns

Crawl Crawl
Burning through
Possessions
Deadbeat crew
Crawl crawl
Forgotten stains
Permission
Is always denied
And rebuttals dumped
In trash cans full
of screwups and screwdowns

Drilling a hole
Finding geodes where a core was
Cold and dark and empty
Drilling a hole
Finding loneliness inside
It is who you are

Extinguished supernovae
Could have contained
And still the darkness would have stayed
Crawl crawl
burning through
your house of cards
melting all definitions
You're a screwup
Still alive
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2014
Shivers pass through
Your every breath
Uncontrollable fear
Nothing is clear

Shivers pass through
Your every thought
You could run away
You could stop and stare

Slow-mo sickness
Know all the grains of sand
Repetitiveness
Destiny in your hand

Shivers pass through
Your every word
Soul-stained, taint
Incoherent and quaint
Jimmy Solanki Jul 2015
Silver
A crooked back beneath
An epiphany
Of scars and the toil
Of generations
Dancing through the veil
Of destruction

Shiver
A pedestal behind
The curtains of dark embodiments
The tragedy of life
Of generations
Dancing through the veil
Of destruction

Moonlight
The bleeding death of a collapse
Unending
Silent
Misdemeanor finally revealed
Dancing through the veil
Of destruction
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2015
Sleeping heart
Beats slowly as if fighting
The hands of time
Sleeping heart
Wounded from the warring
Thy ****** crime

Sleeping heart
Croons slowly, out of tune
Whispering lullaby
Sleeping heart
Howling under a blue moon
Cowardly calamity

Liar liar
Weeping slowly
Liar liar
Scheming
Dastardly liar

Sleeping heart
Calmness and composure
Corrugated tin roof
Sleeping heart
As you were
As you are
Your dark innocent grave
Sleeping heart
Fly away to dreams
Jimmy Solanki Mar 2015
Sharp stabs over and over again
Learnt it the hard way
Left me in a heap
A lovelorn defunked stain
Washed away in a stargaze
Annihilation

The rockets came over to call me
Call me back to life
But I was never away
Imperfection was my game
Call me back to life
I pray over and over again

Death has the strongest hold
Yet we fall into hallucinations
Wish to live forever
Love is the most painful jolt
Yet we dive into affections

Sharp stabs over and over again
Learnt it the hard way
Bedazzled my love
I'd take all of the pain
To be a reminiscence
Souvenir
Jimmy Solanki Jan 2016
I never have loved
Playing with words on my mouth
They're a lavish redundancy
I merely write them
To stop an overflow
So my dams do not crack
Where I nurture reservoirs of
Everything

So I will not speak out loud
I shall let my fingers
Whisper a word
Or an emotion
A long lost feeling
Or its phantom
Uncertain, yet not absolutely so

I shall let my lips touch you so
Subtly as the first and last vestiges of sunlight
I shall let my soul move you in ways you have never imagined
And oh so softly and gently
I shall let my eyes open to you
Gaze deeper inside yours as can be
Whispering the same thing
Over and over and over

I shall speak only what is important
And even so, it shall only be repeating
Repeating everything I would have already said
Jimmy Solanki Jan 2016
A mouthpiece of unknown origins
Reminiscent of scents
The definition of the soil in my skin
And a part of every womb
That gave shelter to each one of us
I carry this
Every day, oblivious
I carry these
Stories of a barren world
The definition of the soil in my skin
And a part of every mouth
That kissed your soul within
And gave you redemption

Bonded to the land
To its owners and managers
It's rightful heirs
If rights were godly
To its owners and tyrants
Every day I carry that
Little part of my people
The **** on earth
Jimmy Solanki Jul 2014
Stuck
The tape keeps on repeating
No disgust or hate
I just cannot relate
Anymore
Any longer
Stuck
Here I can't escape
Even though I ran
And I changed
I stayed the same

Too tired to sleep
Too afraid to dream
Stuck in a bowl
A delicate stream holds me
Down to sanity
Stuck
Here I can't escape

Tried courage
Valiant I was defeated
My dreams won't let me in
Stuck
Here I shall never
Escape my fate
Insanity cackles
Taunting each vein
I'm still running
Too tired to wake up
Too tired to fight
Stuck
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2014
Capsized
My heart has sunk again
As a crimson iceberg struck
Bittersweet disdain
by the Gods above
Realizing I got stuck

In a starry sea
Under moonlit remains
We met in a hurricane
Capsized
My heart has sunk again

The moon whispers soliloquies
Legends and tales of eternal love
Mysteries and Immensities
Legends and tales of you and I

In a fiery haze
Under the silent refrain
of the crackling of fire
Our eyes met again
Nothing else made sense
Nothing else mattered
Nothing

Capsized
My heart has sunk again
Don't save me
From love's domain
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2014
The heart is broken
The dark swallows
All that is left
Words that were spoken
The rest will follow
Like emotional theft

Symphonies of destruction
Have raided us
Annihilate the peace
Words are banal notions
Of half dead masses
Half-slaughtered

Save yourself
The comfort
of Denying the reality
Your demons shall all
Be laid bare now
The frailty of banality
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2014
The smell of burning and sparks around
The rumble rolling through the heart
You knew it always from the start

Silent whispers from near and far
Songs of love, songs bemoan
Songs about the brightest star
Songs of you and me and us
And long lost love, which is alone
In that little something in your heart

Let fear blow away from you
As you let the waves wash over
As you go flying over

The brilliant stars beneath your feet
They beckon you, they call you now
The wind at the corner of your street
The shadows of the moonlit trees
They beckon you, they call you now
To that little something in your heart
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2014
What do I do?
With all these thoughts
They run around in this room
Where I fear their doom
What do I do?
Of the quiet ravages
These savages cut me inside
Where lies a deep divide

Thousand words
Dumber than space itself
The beast lies still
As the beauty dies

Remember when you said
You'd remember me forever
And here I am stuck forever
In this painful void
Where I fear my doom
What do I do?
Of the quiet ravages
These savages cut me inside
Where lies a deep divide

Thousand words
Dumber than space itself
The beast lies still
As the beauty dies
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2014
The smell of death burns the lungs
Of a hundred thousand innocents
Steel on steel, minds on minds
Destiny is out of your hands
And you're the only one standing
A million women are still weeping
Their sons who shall never wake
What is it that you'll still take?

Do you think you are still alive?
Give up all your pathetic chores
Surrender yourself to the sword
Lay your heart down to the God of War

Sticks and stones can **** you now
Even though you escape somehow
Don't tell me it was all mistakes
You bloodied all the pools and lakes
But hey now blame the God of War
I only know what I speak for
Your demons are out in daylight
Your lust for blood you can't deny

And do you think you're still alive?
Come now all of your heartsores
Surrender yourself to the sword
Lay your heart down to the God of War

A war inside your head is on
And you've been barely holding on
Revenge is all that you crave for
Denial is all that you stand for
You took the lives, you stabbed and swiped
And You killed till your heart felt awe
But hew now blame the God of War
I only know what I speak for

I know that you're aren't alive
You've been my minion all this time
You had but been a big wild boar
Your heart has me, the God of War
I wrote this after watching 'The Hurt Locker' again.
I hate the movie. I hate what it says. I don't think that 'War is a Drug'. It is an excuse, it is propaganda.

So I wrote something satirical. I mock that idea of war being a drug by giving an equally ridiculous alternative, a 'God' of war, while trying to give the essentials of every war. ******, killing innocents, destruction and a maniacal devotion and belief. The people are not drugged, they have in them that evil and they wield it. Of course not all do it, but enough do.
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2014
Your inquisition
Is in denial
And there is
No justification
No consolation

The darkness envelopes
Your desires
But you should know
Erased by persistence
The ignominy of existence

Drum beats falling on
Up on your innermost heart
Raise your shackles
Pull the burden on
To where the lights lead on

Your destination
Is from your own heart
And there is
No alternation
No surrogation

So cut the rope and
Fall loosely, breathe in
The sweaty air, the despair
The broken heart of the land
The footprints on the sand

And drag the shackles
Till they crumble, or you do
Till your feet bleed
Till the very earth rumbles
Till the dictator humbles
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2014
See you're thinking
Remembering the old
The loving
and the untold
Stories,
Forgetting
A moment I didn't miss
I couldn't help but kiss
The last remainder you were
In my head you are
In my heart you were

Stars reposition
to bring the
already happened
long lost cadaver
Lets stall the inevitable
The longing indubitable
The longing insufferable
The last remainder you were
In my head you are
In my heart you were
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2014
Here lay the souls of the dark
Under the deadly nightshade
Here the fair are sundered apart
Doomed are those who tarry

Sleeping under the Sorcery
The Necromancer is biding
A living desolation
The brave and the fair are falling
Here lay the foes of life
'Mirkwood' is a forest in the famous Lord of the Rings series by JRR Tolkien. Mirkwood is a synonym for Dark Wood. In the series, it is Mirkwood where Sauron, the dark lord, finally regains his strength to reclaim power and become an evil force again. To be precise, it is situated in Dol Guldur, a tower in Mirkwood.
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2014
Close your eyes
So that you don't see a thing
Logic defies
And you're finally a prisoner
Bonded to death

That breeze through your hair
They way your knees go weak
You just want to stop and stare

Particles shatter
To show you the unknown
Nobody else matters
Now that you're a prisoner
Bonded to love

That smell of dried blood stains
Forever encumber your soul
Make you clutch your heart in pain

Take a breath
To remember the forgotten
Its undeniable
That now you're a prisoner
Bonded to life

That pain makes it all real
Inside your head
Inside your head
Jimmy Solanki Sep 2014
A soft touch of your lips
Caress my ears
Pouring life into my veins
My soul brought back as redemption
The world swirls around you and I
Dropping all concern or restraint

I feel all that I could feel
I feel all that I ever wanted
Your eyes hold me down to this earth
Your eyes make me fly
War
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2014
War
A silent breath
and a realisation
You're alive again

The malicious sheath
and a realisation
Mischief's afoot again

But the birds chirp
the wind howls
Look beside
A lover found
And you decide
Nothing is disturbed

In the shades
lurked a beast
who wished nothing
But to feast
On your dreams
In the least

A heartbeat skipped
and a realisation
You're chained

The earth shook around
But rage didn't consume you
You bowed and mistook
And death went through you

The beast ravaged
All you loved
Life was an endeavor
And you dropped
Your arms

A tear crimson
and a realisation
of the frission

Your heart, mourning your death
You hope for the best, you do
Refusal, denial, fear
But death went through you

The beast afraid
Of your light
Life was loved most
But you'd dropped
Your arms

It started to rain
Touching you
It started to pain
Where you feel them butterflies
Where you soak yourself
During anguish and pain

The war cry
and a realisation
You can still try

The chains broken
Melted the prison inside
The beast thawed
And led away
Disbelieving and dismayed

Your spirit unbroken
Though death went through you
Words yet outspoken
Though death went through you

Your fight is over
To be in peace
But yet to begin
Is another epic
Live the feeling

The heart back from stone
and a realisation
That you're not alone
Jimmy Solanki Nov 2015
Not equal
We are not born equal
I'm born in a naked cage
Open hostilities
A crown of thorns etched into our being
Namelessness is considered a gift

We are not born equal
The weight of expectations
The brunt of brutal suppression
Of our existence
Is incomparable
The pain that we never deserved
Yet is destined for us

Religion defined me
Contained me
Yet changing it
Abandoning it
Does not break my chains
Often I wonder
When people cannot realize
The wholesale selling of humanity
In India, society is divided into castes. Each caste historically had a particular profession and they were in a hierarchy wherein the cleaner, sweepers, tanners were at the very bottom and the priests, warriors, businessmen were considered at the top. You were born into the system. Your changing professions didn't matter. It still doesn't. Casteism rages in my country. There is a lack of English mainstream literature by Dalits in India.
Jimmy Solanki Mar 2014
Your memory lingers around
Like the soft smell of wet earth
Like the persistence of old parchment
Of burning rubber and gas stoves
Of cinnamon and crushed cloves

I can feel you
Even in the very air
I can breathe you in
So far
Yet so close

A cold star with a fiery heart
Words like flames that rip apart
all shields of this fallen heart
Your words hang around
Unsung sonnets and sounds

I can hear you
Even in the core of my being
I can touch you
So far
Yet so close
Jimmy Solanki Jan 2014
On another day
like a feather in a cloudless sky
I'll run, as I've never run
I'll do, as I've never done
Things from my heart
My innermost desire
Wishes of the liar


You have been denying
The thoughts millionfold
Running amok
'Cause you never jump up high
'Cause you never fly in the sky
Reality is reserved
The cautious denier
Wishes of the liar


Deem it unsavory
Words don't do justice
for such a feeling
Stop and stare, beyond the stars
Stop and stare, its yours, its ours
Live a future
Of love-stoked fire
Wishes of the liar
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2014
A sparkle in the heavens
Sundry lives, no destination
But your very incarnation
And nothing else mattered
But you and I

A bewitching atmosphere
Crying out, as my heart did
I was no longer morbid
'Cause nothing else mattered
But you and I

Questions of existence
Lovers inane
What do they matter if we stood together
Dislodged conscience
Finally sane
What do they matter if we stood together

Together we row
Below the thousand suns
And the sea of the homecoming
The coming of the loved ones

The eternity predisposed
To let its wrath out too
I cannot live without you
For nothing else mattered
But you and I
Jimmy Solanki Feb 2014
Your faithful betrayal
Of love and all its colors
Your truthful denial
Of hurt and all the stumbles

Your fight against the world
Your fight for us
As you went against the world
Your fight for us
Lay in shambles
Just as your heart did
Just as my heart still does

I surrendered ere long
To this sweet misery
And sweeter despair belongs
To our story

Your ferocious cherishing
Of life and its ecstasy
Your eternal anamnesis
Of you and me

Your fight against the world
Your fight for us
As you went against the world
Your fight for us
May not have saved us
Neither our serendipity
Neither our inseperableness
Jimmy Solanki Jan 2014
Blinding flashes
I know them now
They are your sparks
Baby, they are your sparks

You sparkle
at night and in light
You wonder
But I shiver
in awe and in fright

You've stunned
my unshakeable beliefs
You've loved
this moronic relief
You rose
when I fell
You fought
And I can tell
Those shivery thoughts
From dreams apart
I know them now
They are your sparks
Baby, they are your sparks

The brilliance of your stalwart smile
The moonlight on which your feet tread
Though I may bend or I may walk
A thousand miles beneath the sea
Where my love stayed, frightened of
Of missing you and misery

And all those stupid memories
That you ever gave to me
Had meant I loved you more and more
Till it became an ecstasy

You've revived
My long lost dreams
You've loved
This stone cold fiend
You rose
When I fell
You fought
And I can tell
Those shivery thoughts
From dreams apart

I know them now
They are your sparks
Baby, they are your sparks

— The End —
