24/F/India Pouring out the thoughts populating my head
You sway in the past Linger like a beam Of a somnolent sunshine In its moments that swelled you up. Try to wheedle and root yourself Like a feathery cypress On its ochre coloured paths. Spread yourself like a flowering vine All over the places and events Captured with a fervent heart. Cause even a single toe Dangling unknowingly into The external spaces Of present Seems to situate you fully Beneath a cast of whitening skies With the shape of silence As your only companion. Where a thousand different times You've always struggled To solemnly exist In fact.

Past
In secrecy her thoughts dwell So discreet are her actions That try to slip past the Nods of harrowing disapproval everywhere. Feelings that stumble from the mouth Become a burning garland of despair Is what she hears Like a chant everywhere. Despised is the knowledge Futile are the facts That she strives to glean From the world that's determined To reduce her size Into a box of standardize measurement everywhere. The hunger that makes her assertive With a vision of a lioness And a vigour of an athlete Is seen as anomaly A jarring discrepancy everywhere. In thus a queer, uncanny world She's forced to exist Suspected as a devil Rather than a marvelous human everywhere.

She
Dear one, The trial of your slow waning, is what haunts me like a wretched spirit. The way my dayly moments, that used to resonate with thy invaluable presence are dwindling like a destitute's wealth, renders me a maniac, ridden with an inexorable anguish. What am I supposed to do. I cannot lift these sacks of grief. Enfeebled by a dolour, tis like I'm fighting a lost battle, with a forlorn capacity. Nary a thought grips me still. Thine picturesque glance, the blithe cadence of thine lips, upon which I nurtured and reared banquets of poetry, now tend the flames of a halcyon past, that singes me with a rapacious melancholy. The throes of longing imprison and harass me till I'm cemented within a dank spite for myself, and ruefully discard any smidgen of reprieve. Beloved, I'm a convinced bearer of countless blunders I agree. Mine miserable apologies will only vacate the gasoline of thy peace. But a miniscule opening is all I seek. With reverent hope, I beseech thee. Indeed, for I will become a bane for myself without thy caress to redeem me.

Beloved
Adoration reigns supreme, like a never lost battle Every word, every act expresses a tale of untold desire, / Nothing seems to placate, the restive thoughts that rattle Everything burns and heats, in an incredibly untamed fire, / What then aches to be released Like a jaunty bird from inside a trap, Are unheard, muffled truths hidden within heartbeats That seek some reason to eagerly unwrap, / So long as they’re coerced to solemnly stay Within the confines that imprison their devout expression, / All the seasons will persistently make way For the sins and crimes of an inordinate, unrequited passion.

Crimes of passion
There's this unforseen announcement An unanticipated dissemination Of an abstract, unsolicited thought That ricochets within every single cell Of my facade And furtively causes A mass hysteria A bedlam which I am Unable to dominate. Then there's this smoke A bevy of pungent fumes That rises insidiously from The blight of all my sense and sanity And the ensuing frustration That yields nothing But a night full of relentless tossing and turning And a dawn full of panicked breaths That renders my anatomy As scarred and stricken Yet leaves it to trail Amid the gusty shores of life Anyway

Some days
You look beautiful, with a matchless splendor, The taste of your voice Breathtakingly delectable To all the four senses Eager to embrace you With a sprightly endeavor, You seem like an aesthetic vision That I'd love to comprehend With the mind of a cartographer And eyes brimming with happiness, You feel like a melange Of glowing colours Shedding those petals of dusk That bind the hope of dawn For a budding floret, I only wish that somehow I was able to map the distance Which spreads persistently between Your presence and my reverent arms, Before it's too late And this life spirals away In meaningless motions and tasks

Andromeda
He follows the same orbit Everyday In the same motion, Devoid of any thrilling emotions, With desperate dedication Without changing the pace of his muscles Or the direction of his notion Day after day He isn't allowed to run Or shift, tilt, step Even a tiniest bit, away from this linear trajectory Which he tries to bruise and beat Using the enduring might Of his legs Yet every morning He opens his eyes To the searing light Of a sun Pushing and shoving him Mercilessly, Towards the place of his daily grind And exertion

Orbit
The aching brambles of this eternity Pierce and rip through me mercilessly Tangled between their inextricably intricate knots I howl and scream indefinitely Only to find my desperate voice Get repeatedly trapped and ensnared within It's razor sharp bars And become evidently inept to turn into A choral symphony Buried beneath it's empty, vacant Yet unflinching and determined grip I struggle and strive to remember Those dreams that caressed me Long ago With a vision that was blissfully distinct and immeasurably distant than The endless phases and facets of life That now surround and besiege me How can I freeze and pause This ever-growing loop of perpetuity Without waiting and wondering about A constantly flickering yet elusive end That too, Refuses to cradle and embrace me Wholeheartedly

Elusive
The sky looks marvelously serene Like a bejeweled birthday gift Laced with bright ribbons Of a sparkling sunlit peace Perhaps it's an evidence of Our invisible yet invincible strength and synergy To continue living or existing In a clear direction which Renders us worthy of A gracious life as well as Shelters our faith in ourselves Even when the vicious wintry haze Makes us shiver and quiver With ceaseless doubts and mysteries Let us all bask in the pleasing warmth Of this heavenly gift Let's celebrate together Our mindful victory against Our very own weaknesses Today

Xmas
A crisp cold day Reluctantly makes way For a pale spectral evening Whose sky isn't willingly beaming With even a single drop of star That may rest like a victorious scar Upon the dim dull curtains of a night That seem to be enticed by nothing bright Except dusting the landscape all around With a deluge of derisive winds that hound A mighty silence And an aggravated sentience Tonight
