In the sooth silent valley of ours,
Stood the well dressed souls,
In bizarre air of Pahalgam.

How can some demon, a ghost
Too inhuman to be born,
With a roar invade their elegant home,
And a line of splitted love they formed,
A beast switch air with his scorn,
All the smiles fades,
only to  leave eric air to mourn.

How inhuman of them to decide
And then to divide ,
On bases of what?
"so called, fantasised, man-made tribes?"

A beast who knows no soul,
Not even the flesh he himself worn,
How can he know a sacred script
He claims to be its magus divine,
But How can it even partalize?

Sindoor they stabbed, out of rage,
For her an ordeal she can never erase.
So, Did they not stab the honour?
Drowned the humanity in blood's corner?

Shrill cries that wound the stone,
Where justice whispers and fail to roar,
In the bleek silence they upheld the war,
The wounds won't dry ,
They'll scar across every door.


The Lass, a लाश right now,
Sinner of her, smiled somehow,
And god said,"get up Devi, strengthen your armour, face the devil and set them on fire".
And the goddess,
Who resides in sky with the wisdom,
Burnt down all nine of beast's sites.
And so the justice somehow survived.

We humans are trapped in illusion of emotions,
We humans are too fragile to be in sound motion,
We humans are hollow void,
Empty of everything that ignites the oil,
We humans are, pretending to be armoured stones,
So afraid of people, to eyes humans are prone.
Desperately empty yet filled with hopes,
Happily bleeding on path to adorn,
Like an orchestra filled with distracted hosts,
We humans, build castles of sand,
Yet we forget to keep away jinxed hand,
We humans are trapped in wraps,
Wraps of our over-love and understanding that lacks,

"If I had the map, i would get out of this track."
Oh but you  deceive yourself like a brat,
Dragging your cores in maze that mirror you as vulnerable man,
Masking the fact, that you can!

Oh my dear!!
You unsee the keys and cry over locks,
You know the ways out ,
but decide to stay in doubt.
For you are always ignoring the oracle that surrounds.
That's the tragedy of you humans,
Who are trapped in emotions and frown.
When you screamed in labor’s strife,
Filling my lungs with tactical life,
Ma, I had no idea what this orb would be;
All I knew was wandering, free,
In the warmth of your womb’s embrace,
Like a caterpillar on wood, finding its place.
Ready to bloom, from a caterpillar to a cocoon,
Unaware of room that's full of boons.  

Your amnion did shield me well,
Like a chrysalis providing me shell.
The moment this air bloomed my lungs,
I was the bug, basking under the sun,
Fighting my battles to be THE son.

Ma,The armour dissolved in air  
as the age, I cannot ensnare,
And I had the burden of life,
All together, bleeding on knife,
Yet I am the caterpillar in the sky,
With my juvenile wings I sigh,
Oh! I had to be the butterfly ,
Once these walls of your scarf subsides.  

And after dysphoric yet euphoric wine,
I had my last breath stealing my time,
When on a soft bed I quietly lie,
I honour the end, and smile as I die.

And you are the waves and I'm the bay,
Trying my best to make you stay,
I wrap my arms around you,
Yet you retreat without a clue,
I stretch them as much as I can,
Yet my grasp is never a 'ten',
I wish to keep you close and confined, Oh!! my rocks can never aline,
This pendulum of clock,
And my love for thy,
Your departure recites,
the melancholic sigh.
You are the muse that I never can write,
For I would keep you alive in eyes,
So that when I die,
I die with your sight.
(preserved in eyes).

Sometimes we are closer than ever,
And then we go far apart ,
Oh my heart!! It wrecks every hour,
when I can't throw you 'hi'
And  you leave addressing a bye.
I know this jealousy is not mine to keep,
Yet it dwell inside so deep ,
I wish to fight this distance we keep,
Yet another chaos and I'm at bleed,
I wish to keep these wreckage unseen,
Yet another day and I weep
With all the abience I dry and clean,
To deal with muse I meet on streets  
These silence like knife dug in streams,
Indelible museums, how hurt seeps,
And for my own sake I wish to sneak,
Sneak from present, and past ,
for it is the future that must last.

And love is something that never satisfied my soul,
Tempest of emotions, tornadoes of thoughts.

Futile are constellations you adore,
For it is not the magnetic world of alphabets,
But the realms of gold inside, eternal bond of warmth,
then is when affections of yours can replace agony, on cathedral, inside I behold.

Do not be in disguise, I won't mind!! Show me your craters, as if sipped wine.
Do not conceal your hot atoms,
let them bombard with passion.
Don't you bleed on fetter,
let real you grow wings and flutter.

Let me trace your demons and dejected face you hide,
Show me the depth, I'll measure the fathoms of salt, a suppressed tide.
The fossils which underneath your skin lies,
I'll show you then, what beauty they put out of sight.

And how can I not miss thy presence, In such a delightful present,
When you are the ignition of candles, The warmth of festive events.

In sleek corner of the house,
Lies emptiness of your spouse,
Wishing we were at one place,
Instead of us sitting at miles haze.

On thread of indelible flowers,
Petals seem to have grown too far, Your absence make minutes feel like hours,
Makes me question the shooting star.

In melody of eve, your fragrance I
desire,
Smokes, the ashes residing in my lungs,
Without you, melancholy I respire. This is the heaviness and chunk,
your absence sings in a choir.
When our loved ones aren't home on festivals we miss their presence with faded zeal of the event.
