To wake up and run
Should be a real fun
But NO , its not
Feels like stifling by a knot
Short of breath in my mind
Even before the start of grind
We sleep, that's fine
But to rise is asinine
The weight of my slumber
When I drag encumbered
Against all reasons
Be what may the season
My soul shouts " Treason"
For my wilted rhythm
Why why why
My heart starts to cry
I wake up for what
And sleep to naught
This universal cycle of routine
Is a time tested guillotine
My hunt is on for the reason
Till then I ll punish self for the treason
By waking after sleep
And running daily and weep!!!

What’s opposite of a teacher
I have thanked them all
For what I am
But wait master Ji
What about the glass half empty
No!
No credits to thee
For the ignorant, indignant,
insolent -me
For indecisive, irrational -me
For teaching the logic of convenience
Over the struggle and friction
then enabling to veneer the meekness
with vainglorious diction
“Sit down” for “How?”
“Shut up” for “ Why??”
You didn’t even,
ever let me Try!
Branded the doubt as foolery
and ensured that my mind
be all but free
Yes, all but
Free!!
Contouring my thoughts
with that of someone else’s
Delineating the world
of abstracts into absolutes
Befouling the beauty of randomness
by the confines of routine
So why
Yes - Why
I dare to ask
On this day ‘ O Teacher’,
you stand so tall
All in all you’re just
Another brick in the wall.

He is dead and close
As he never shows
Tantrums and huffs
Like others all the time
He never jumps and scare
Does not annoy anymore
Never turn up and never turn down
Never offends, never complains
Just silently lurks in memories
And looks all happy
Quietly stays in the past
That will always last
We never talked that much
Now I wish I could
But he ll never know
That I wished so
He will never be
The friend he could be
Will never know my secret tree
My top ten and our best three
But it's good that he didn't see
How I cried and cried
when he Ceased to be
And gone like an escapee
As if a song finishes abruptly
Only never to be replayed
Your mind tries hard to rewind
But sorrow distorts memory all the time
But wait
Mine is dead
Yours may still be here
Some so dear, some not near
Do whatever
Talk, sing, cry,shoot, send
Anything is better than
That one dead friend..
Friends
Nothing happens later
You know better!!

Don't talk to me
Ye vanity
Cladding truth in urbanity
Expressions left to emojis
For Conversations we type
Reassuring through selfies
Relationships through swipes
Get drenched in rain
Get scorched in Sun
Quiver once in a while in pain
Drain out after a run
Get in a fight in real
Burst off of sorrow
Then you ll know what matters
It's today not tomorrow
Let go
Let go
O please
Let go
The veneer of sophistication
The hope of impression
Smiling through frustration
And short term-fad salvation
And if not
Never blame it on generation
For We took the turns
and We paved the path
We are here for what we chose
And we only ll be wondering at last
we always had a choice
Always...

Eid
That's what we need
Now More than ever
To show
That we are together
Enough of "holier than thou"
And clamour over the cow
We couldn't have fought
Had we put a thought
That all our customs and faith
Are to gather and celebrate
And embrace all
So More than ever it's now
Necessary to take a vow
That together we grow
And let them know
Who toss us into fire
Of instigated ire
We all had a choice
And we all have a choice
This time
Let's savor the kheer
And a hug a little tighter
Let the crescent moon glow
On us all a little brighter
Eid Mubarak
Let's be better.

Come see it
Just see
Don't think , don't blink
Let it be
And please No.
no... no... no
Stop trying to acknowledge
With adjectives learned from college
Not everything seen
Has to mean
This place, this moment
You 've never been
Nor can you be
So just see
Come see it
You lucky one
For not all can
But only
some see it.
Come
See it

Love is when you understand
that she doesn't understand
everything you assume she understands.
But love fails
when you feel
that she won't understand
and decide not to make her understand
because she for sure understands that
and choose to overlook it as a misunderstanding.
I hope you understand!!

When we don't do
what we want to;
See how we do
What we have to ;
So should we do
What we have to?
Like we can do
What we want to ;
Or just do
And get over with it
And wait
To do that same rut
Or fight within
And end up
Doing none of what
You should have done
And
Cry aloud
For sooner or later
You ll have to do
What you had to
But not what you want to
O god
What to do?
We often do
A lot of things
To undo
Things we did
That's so messed up
Right?
Do it
to
undo that
And sometimes undo all
that -You did
to undo that -you did earlier
Sounds a horrible vicious cycle
Ain't it
But trust me it's worse
When you do it
And even more terrifying
When you know
You did it
So what I ll do
Is something new
And not think about it
Will do and just do.
God
Will that do?

Should you know everything from start to end
Would you change a thing?
I would rather not.
Not even Choose to know
That where to reach
So there to go
Whom to meet
Whether say yes or no
I just don't even wish to know
That where to search
And what to find
That what will hurt
And who ll be kind
Isn't that what we do
build that wall Of certainity
Wall of our dreams
Of that promised secured future
Organising everything random
Offered by the universe
So that
Not even for a moment we go off track
Into the unknown
So that none ventures in and surprise you
Changing things so that
We don't have to change it later
And then what
Lay staring
Nothing but those walls
Your walls
Made of those work-hours
Decisions, regrets , memories
Walls so high and strong
Now you can't see beyond em
Let alone walk past it
I won't mind losing
For my mistakes
The pain, the chill, the burn
Heartbreaks under scorching sun
Let me be swept by cold winds of doubts
Drenched in the rain from clouds of fear
Not under the safe concrete of wealth
Unseasoned and a mortal mere
I would rather choose
To be lost
As I am
As are most
And won't even try to find my way
No quest to solve
Nothing to resolve
Just you and me
Walking all the roads
Stopping where we feel
And staring at the sky
Counting stars as if we can
Everyday afresh and start anew
You with me and I with you
And
You love me and I love you

I read it on a wall
"Live more"
Okay!!!
I exhaled and walked past
Same old **** right?
What does that even mean
We just live
Breathe and eat and walk and talk
And do it again
And again
For what ?
Working our way towards
The ultimate end
Where all our numbers-
Money, age, calories, friends
Zero, seven, million, on and on
Will remain same but not.
So just before the last breath
I draw
I don't wanna say
I lived,
Just lived.
But rather
I won't wait to die
And live on till that last goodbye
I ll be shaking hands
And hugging friends
Eating muffins
Listening bands
And fall flat there if I have to go
But no , not on the bed
Waiting like a convict on row
Keep doing things
You would have wanted
To be done
Before you are done
Say things aloud
And write your mind
Sing her that song
Play odds and blind
Who cares
if right or wrong
Come out of you
The you of now, Open your door
Do life a favour
And live it more.
Live it more!!
