My child I dearly pray
The wrong doers will pay
Your life was priceless
To some meaningless
You had a golden smile
Tho so far, so many miles
If I had you here with me
You would have been alive to see
There are those who have lost
Beautiful innocence by cost
I am deeply hurt reading about you
My heart cried tho I don't know you
The red t-shirt you wore last
Will alway remind me of this past
Why your family had to flee?
Why authorities ignore your plea?
Why the boat capsized in the ocean?
Why was there no precaution?
Why the world had to see you washed on the shore?
Laying face down on the Turkish shore
Such a beautiful child, how many more!
The aches getting worse as I see your face
You left every heart to break where we trace
It was not you fault, Oh baby boy!
You were thrown off board like a broken toy
May the good spirits guide your soul
Don't you worry, these ruthless will burn in hole
Even hell might reject them for achieving such goal
You were a Syrian prince, one can hint
Your tragic death would stay as an imprint...

On the bed I lay
Bubble by bubble I let my breath sway
Deep below this ocean
Where there is no escape way
My fate struck bad luck on this very day
Friends and families gathered today
For a cruise tour over the bay
This happened in the month of May
The boat caught up near a far strait
Where current flowed in massive state
No one knew we would meet up with a blow
When the boat began to move slow
The engine stuck alerted the crew
Knowing so, our fears grew
The captain immediately called on rescue
Most people had life jackets on
While I was left alone in the queue
One sudden bang and I was thrown below
Lucky I sank holding onto a rope let low
I thought it was my death fall
But few hours later, I realised it was a rescue call
I was saved from death
Which I was about to meet
I never reached the seabed that lay to my greet
I got lucky as I am alive and safe in my own bed...

Stubborn, strong
Loving, thinking, bounding
Attractive, kindly appreciated bold

For these winds blow so strong
I wish it blew away all my wrongs
The brisky branches of trees sway
Broken branches lay in my way
Thinking the winds would blow
My thoughts as I hung my head low
Tears flow, dripping on the ground
Its too silent, no one's around
For these tears that flow
I wish one day a tree shall grow
With such a thought, I start my walk
The trees are listening as I talk...

©sim

These eyes get all teary
Thinking about the past memories
Sitting hours, staring at the mirror
My eyes, shys away in shame

A deep breath and a true feel
That, love is nothing but a cheat
Unnecessarily, taunting my own fate
Why this bleakness haunts to greet?

As these eyes cries and sees
A reflection of you in the mirror
My hand, rises to touch
Whilst remembering the moment, you left my side

©sim

I wish to sit in the rain,
In a park washing away my pain,
A hot cup of coffee in my hand indeed,
Sipping slowly while my tears flow freed,
The aroma and taste of coffee,
******* onto the leftover toffee,
Gives a sensation feel of joy,
Who knew you also thought me as your toy,
Oh yes, it just feels as if it was today,
When I saw you in the marriage hall the other day,
Holding her hand who was my best friend,
Shattered came my dream world to an end,
You glanced at me from the chapel,
With your smirk smile you made me so *******,
Along came my best friend in her wedding gown,
Looking like a princess wearing a silver crown,
I had gifted her that on her birthday last year,
Didn't know she would become my greatest fear,
I was merely being used as a hitch for their meeting,
Always friendly and behind me their cheating,
Both played me like an average doll,
I can't stop thinking as my tears start to roll,
My soul mate now someone else's future fate,
Struck with shock and pain in a miserable state,
Was I really a bait for them to come closer,
Good heavens! I feel like such a loser,
Torn, hurt and shattered badly,
I know I have to live with this sadly,
Trust no one was my new goal,
And live life like a renowned soul...

Holding the paddles tight
As the boat rocks from left to right
The sun seems a lot bright
In this big ocean, no one else is at sight

You dressed in formal attire
To be with me, was your only desire
You ignited within me a burning fire
Which one of us is that perfect liar?

With my red flamy dress
I was almost ready to impress
But instead you grabbed my neck to press
The choking and fear from me, left you in distress

Pushed me over so not to cause more harm
You turned away so to maintain self calm
On your turn, with a shock and alarm
I was gone in the waves swayed unharmed

Realising your anger you searched the boat
Along the wade, my body was afloat
Now your cry was unheard as I was gone
You dropped down and sobbed as if you were torn

I was caught off guard by such death
The love we had sank with me as my last breath
Your anger and temper has pushed me over
Never again in a life, I shall trust a casanova...


©sim

Must I not trust my heart
To fall in love again
To forget the so long past
And free myself from the pain

The emptiness within me, stings
My thoughts rush in like tides
My shadow has taken cover under my wings
Don't know from whom it hides

A seizing pressure in my brain
Feeling of despair through my head
Love might just hurt me again
With a part of me broken and dead...*

Observe the water
My lovely daughter
For the water is at boil
Here, put this crushed ginger
Be sure not to burn your finger
Bit of crushed cardamom to flavour
Keep your face away from the vapour
Add a spoonful of ceylon tea leaves
Smell the aromatic flavour it gives
With a bit of milk and sweetness
Our tea is ready my cuteness
Sieve in two cups, let us sip slowly
For you are my little angel, my one and only...


©sim

There comes a time
When all things seem unreal
Even the kindest soul
Looks drenched in darkness
And you and me just don't exist
Upon nightfall of each day
Staring at the starless sky
The fear of losing you
Turns my life's rainbow grey
It is my only wish to be with you
Regardless of how far or near
The distance may be
You are always close
Close, just like the beats of my heart
Drawing closer, being my part
One step at a time
And I tip toed into your gentle arms
Never before, this feeling came about
I feel as to scream and shout out loud
That you are my love, my one and only
A better half of me
Full of life, my dream, my love
We shall never grow apart
Tho distance may divide us
But never again, shall this heart be  
Shattered into pieces
Like how you found me one day
Drowning in my tears and collecting
My hearts broken pieces
The melody you played that day
Slowly repaired the strings of my soul
How fortunate, I am today
To be standing beside you
While you holding me gently
Blowing my sorrows miles away
And filling me with your unconditional love




©sim

These tears, drop for a reason
They don't have any desired season
Like the monsoon it sheds
It makes no sound as it's unheard
Wets the pillows and the sheets
Dreams are sweet but reality speaks
The emotions flow when tears roll
No one beside you, no one to call
You try to block your heart, creating a wall
Fail in vain, and tears begin to fall
You take courage to subside the issues
But when you look around, you see wet tissues
Who is there to understand the weeping heart?
Which day by day stumbles and falls apart
Everyone has their own ends and starts
This crying and weeping is everyones art
I wipe these tears off my face
As I now understand my unusual case...

©sim

Dark puffs under my eyes
Begs me to sleep tonight
But there are so many whys
That keeps me awake every night

My mind cannot rest
As the reasoning of whys linger
I tried to divert first
But somehow it kicks back like a winger

The past and present haunts
The so called journey till to date
Has been full of sadness and taunts
And the mistreatment full of hate

There is no love, no forgiveness
No understanding, no care
Just devilish acts and forgetfulness
The relationship was so unfair

I tried to chase away the culprit
Residing in my own dark heart
Yet, my attempts failed to forget him
Who initially broke me apart...*

...and the heavens will open
To let the angels fall
The myths will again be spoken
When people would raise their hands to call
The GENERATOR of this entire universe
Please rewind and reverse
The OPERATOR of this entire universe
Please remove this curse
The DESTROYER of this entire universe
Please have mercy as I chant your name in a verse
Dear GOD, don't let the angels perish,
And have the humans die
Why has this day come?, tell me this is a lie
If this is a dream, I shall pinch myself to scream
But as I look up towards the sky,
I see grinning clouds and a hollow rim
Almost like as if I can spy into the heavens gate
I sense the rush of crowds to their deadly fate
I've lost being a sane, everything looks so plain
In pain, many slain, people cry and claim
The remains of their loved one's on the ground
Why am I spared to witness such a havoc surround?
Why am I not dead? , what has led me here?
As I stumbled over a skeletal remains laying near
A gist of feel, a terrible outcry of fear
I've been dead, seems almost a year
Now, few things I see quite clear
End of this world is near
Soon no one will be left to even shed a tear...

Deep in her wine glass
A reflection of him, emerged
In the silent thought of the night
A teardrop, drops, creating a ripple
Drowning her thoughts
With heart break of pains
A sip or two, in between
Exploded more memories,
That once were sealed and forgotten
Now with every sip, slips down the cheek
a long night, alone with the closed,
chapters of her dark sins book...

The unseen forces dwell around me,
Some just whisper to be free, just free,
They house on the old ancient trees,
It's quite nice to enjoy the breeze,
But once you are a target,
That's the start of their game,
It's evident that most people say the same,
That you hear a whisper of your name,
Little unfortunes happen as people say,
Mostly experiences encountered during the day,
I have heard lots of stories from people around,
That people insanely do rounds around the trees,
And later found fainted or sitting freezed,
Some babble and laugh or just giggle,
The old stories keep people away from this area,
As the community has created sort of a barrier,
A notice read:
"Caution: Ghostly Whispers on patrol
From 12.00pm-2.00pm
Keep out of this area"
I was quite curious to find out about this,
And later decided to take a stroll to meet the risk,
The trees were quite old but stood bold,
With soothing breeze cool to cold,
I stretched my hand to catch a branch to hold,
My heart thumped as I heard a whisper in my ear,
Startled I turned around in fear,
But no one was even near,
I felt my cheek slightly pressed,
Then I saw a figure in white dressed,
An enchanting smile,
I stood helpless frozen for a while,
Then as fast as I could...I ran,
I knew the stories were true man!
Till today I've never tried walking near those trees,
Even though they provide the most enchanting breeze...

My mind spins like a whirlpool,
With mixed ideas and invisible weaponry tools,
I have been branded as an aimless fool,
Cause I wasn't like other kids at school,
I want to tame my ideas so I can rule,
To fuel my ideas so others can drool,
For I maybe just one person for you,
But one is good enough among few,
Who always accomplished tasks before it got due,
I feel new as in a person inside my brain,
Why shall I then feel others strain,
When am ready to push my negatives in the drain,
And refresh my positives in this enchanting rain...


©sim

My mind is unstable
I don't know, if I am capable
To withdraw the gruesome feeling
Developing inside me everyday
I try to divert, to give space for healing
But the negatives crosses my way
I remain silent most of the time
Unable to fight, as my anger takes to prime
Voices inside my head start their taunting
I hide my head under a pillow for it to stop
My own thoughts has started haunting
I felt I was on a huge cliff top
Freely falling,
To what lays beneath the dark meadows
My own undigested cruel shadows
Cuffed up, smothering, while I struggle to get out
Even my voice stopped echoing my shout
I am completely consumed by my leverage thoughts
So many tangles, so many knots
I may never be able to free myself from myself
For I can not run away for what's unseen
Inside my physical head to oneself
But if you know what I mean,
then this place within yourself you've already seen...


©sim

I am alive, yet I feel dead
Broken within, feel so sad
If only time could go back
And lives could extend for few more days
If only I could see him one more time
I wouldn't feel so empty everytime
He never made a single call
He left me all alone
I grew weak, weak then to stone
No feelings, No emotions, No regrets of any sort
Am still the same with my feelings tied in a knot
It was lame that we fought
A childish act who would have thought
If only you could come by without a lie
Set these feelings free, let the knots untie
And I promise to be yours until I die...


©sim

I'll be gone without a trace,
Even if you catch a glimpse of my face
Death would beat you, in this case
As it is already winning this race

I dreamt of you last night
Didn't know, I would find you tonight
In my arms, hugging me tight
We broke up over a kiddish fight
But now all seems to be alright
I bet all relationships have little ups and downs
One is serious while the other acts like a clown...

The remover of all obstacles,
O' Vighnaharta
I fold my hands and bow my head,
In prayer
You've always been my key pilot
O' Vinayaka
I come to you with all my heart
O' Lord of Lords
My knowledge comes from thee
In abundance, you've shed your blessings
Upon me
I offer my soul, my lifes all deeds
To thy feet
Hail O' Datta
I welcome you in my life everyday
At this Ganesh Utsav
I request you to visit me today
With your favorite dessert and flavouries
I've decorated a plate,
Sweet ladoos, modak, paan and durva
With this red velvet hibiscus garland and flowers
I am standing here waiting at the gate
In the temple, inside my soul
Where blossoms the energy to carryout my role
Dear Father,
You never disappoint your devotees
In this aeon of cycle, on this earth and beyond
You'll always be my protector
Coz my soul shares a devotional infinite bond
With you,
Ganpati Bappa Morya...

Shinning in the ocean of woollen puffs
Surrounded by sparkles of zillion stones
One of its kind, that travels around
It's the moon, that fades the darkness alone
As I raised my head, towards the sky
No birds were chipping or flapping tonight
It was so silent except for the cricket,
That balanced the sound of this silent night
Admiring the celestial combination of nature
The mesmerizing, countless, dancing fireflies
So beautifully designed practising its culture
And here we are, drowned in material lies
The peace that shatters, on broken pieces
Over a period of time, heals outside
The gist of pain remains within
And all the feelings that we bury inside
The same story continues of love and life
Day after day and night after night
Once on the verge of giving up self
The darkness eases again with the moonlight...

©sim

For better or for worse I will always be there
Thank you for your love, thank you for your care
I promise I will be good in all ways
For you are my world, you bright my days
In pain or in sorrow, in happiness
I will be by your side wading out any sadness
For you my love, I give you my all
Whenever you need me, just dial a call
I am blessed to have you by my side
Oh yes, you ignite my soul being its guide
The trust I have in you shall always remain
As my past was full of regret and pain
I promise to love you till death do us apart
You are the one that rules over my heart
Every breath I take, every move I make
Every thought that strikes, its you I take
You are my start, and you are my end
For God has blessed me to take your hand
Here my love, I give you my vows today
I will always love you like I do on this day...

When "Ayenik" the hermit  
Travelled towards the pilgrimage,
Heard he nothing except the praises
Of gods and other sages.

However, the praises got silent,
As he neared another townshire;
There, people were only talking,
Of money and their desire.

For the hand that writes this poem;
Every town and city marks its own;
Where materialities are famous,
And god is unknown!

I am born between the torn lines
Lines that tell my culture and race
Race that this worldly society has made
Made in such a way that equality has no ground
Ground where I used to play when I was young
Young to understand the basic language
Language of body and action, least of words
Words that fell in my ears were mostly ******
****** enough to creep on my tongue to use
Use like any daily words on another person
Person or people, animals all treated same
Same that is in my grade of society
Society that builds less and destroys more
More of mentality of our youngsters of today
Today, yes was another vulgarious day!

When you see, the lamps being lit
Along the paths, on a moonless night
And the dusk decends, for the stars to shine
That's when my darkness will fade, with your light
I never condoned our love, neither did I forget
In the bliss time of this long lone journey
I've swept lanes of eyelids,
Remembering all the time we've spent
From where we started our journey together
Where we met for the very first time,
On the banks of that river, under the raintree
Which you used to climb
There, in the silence ,we met daily everyday
To drown in our eternal love, under the open sky
Where the stars would bloom bright all the way
Yet,
Another night has just past, waiting,
In my ribbed casket, here I lay
Now all bones, left in this deep dense place
By your very own, while you went away
No one has ever come to track or trace
People say, I am good as dead anyway...
