My heart is a frog
The moment clouds arrive
It just leaps out

somebody must freeze
my emotion
my elation
my abrasion
i want to stop awhile
and touch each of them

i did fly higher
but my wings caught fire
took me down
down to the ground
where i belong
even if beguiled

feelings melt
flow like lava
burning but docile
moving but adamant

i want to touch
and see through them
or into them
do they hold
those thousand thoughts thine?

O heart!
be my healer

mine is the pain
that only you know
mine is the joy
that only you hold

i speak for you
in closed prayers

i am your savior,
the queen of own heart
and i shall be resplendent
in my shining armor

today,
i gift you the hope,
My Smile,

keep it, prized!

Just by the moment
you seek a star,
I wish to become one,
our wishes streaming out
of the same spring.
while you run away from me
into hidden solitude,
I'd become your abode
in equal disguise.

I see words and words all around,
they swarm, change forms,
they twinkle like your eyes,
smear me like your smile does.

Here I am,
Between the silence and sound,
They both exist right here,
One step, one pause. Pause. Step. Pause. Goes on.

Rest for whom,
Restlessness for what,
My destiny starts and stops here,
My life begins and ends here.

I find no yesterday,
nor any tomorrow,
I bring myself to just one moment,
This.

Life and Love merge.
Unfolds nothingness.
I am enlightened by truth
Of being nothing and all.

Word is it that he is gone

No more he walks by that lane
No more he whistles by your window
All that you found inappropriate

He went away with a broken heart
And I did not hear the songs, as he passed by,
Which he was so accustomed to stroll with

His face white against the crimson rays
Did not glow anymore with tickling blood
In such a way the quiet seeped into his veins

You can live in your world happily
Which is no lesser than a cage
Now that nobody would ask you

To walk out

i walk down the road
each morning in the hope

to see you just once more

the dew is still so fresh
tender with dawn's caress

touching it to the core

the sun is yet so red
as it used to be those days

as we walked over sea shore

come back, where ever you are
take back the singeing scars

return the heart that i have no more

what game this life is
why can't you change the rules
no body is so perfect
try walking in my shoes

baby, i cannot forget
i cannot let it go
memories had no inkling
all love you would just forgo

no day is ever replete
without you I feel not complete

take back, all that, which is yours.

ah! i see fear
oh my dear!
nobody ever rose
whomsoever it chose

if you be free
you'd surely be fragile
for the underground
is the only safe haven

but, you know
there is no life
inside the walls
nor beneath ground

even the earth has to breathe
and so it does by coming to bloom
in the open sky, under the hot sun
through so many rooted gills

opening itself up
makes it vulnerable
and grasses do dry
trees do cry

but does it ever
stop the breather
from gathering her seeds again
and peek out again

and you see,
what the sky to it did?
it showered rain
to quench its pain!

One flower born in mist
Another in smog
Turn of fate upon pretty faces

Then
a
day
came,
her
gaze
fell
on
me.
Something
is
broken,
ever
since.

Even though you were gone,
I put back your words,
Derived the worth,
Fought the sump,
And justified your wrath.
Strong I am.
If not for me,
For your words' sake.

no spin,
no twist?
no twirl
in the mist?

what frightens
your strong soul

look at the butterfly
so tender, so vivid
susceptible to each and all
her wings are

but does she fear
in her daring flight? nay

fly uninhibited
and ye shall rise
where captive
becomes the queen
of her own heart

all i have got is a moment
that never seems to expire
it keeps tip-toeing on my heart
and has outrun many desires

would you ever stand with me
on a moment's dais
afraid not of whether it'd
be able to take the combined weight

would you sing along
and dance and swim
believing not of fall
but of our rising dream?

i promise no rose
i have forgotten the thorns
i offer freedom

Our paths crossed,
our thoughts collided,
somewhat she wondered,
somewhat did I.

Both, amused, paused,
spoke one at a time,
listened one at a time,
our destinies merged.

Songs were made,
music hauled,
smiles rushed in,
a story composed,

Until the last day,
when she bade goodbye,
our hands disjoined,
and eyes met for a split second.

i am a program
i am meant to act when asked
i am meant to be efficient
i am made to deliver
all that I can.

just a program
fated to suffer
fated to be silent
under goodness' disguise.

Eavesdropping wet winds
While you sweep under,
Chortling I bloom into wonder

dreamy eyes clouds
even what you yell,
pours like music

Their reasons were never enough,
Songs never that playful,
Tastes never made harmony.
Despite all this, they kept up.

One day was fury,
Other was romance.
Sometimes they fought.
Sometimes they danced.

Minutes of hatred,
Minutes of love,
They loved to reason,
They reasoned to love.

Do all stories
Move like this?
Under darks of night,
Under day’s bliss?

What goes right,
What goes wrong?
What cuts it short,
What takes so long?

If path is true,
Ends never matter.
With each passing second,
It just gets better.

deal it is, this life
some part here, some part there
thus we part our strife

my hundred years,
its one moment,
no pondering its life has,
unlike mine, which broods,
over yesterdays, tomorrows, todays.
Lucky is the bloom
that has no gloom, no doom.
hereth it comes, hereth it goes,
Parting and Dying, life it sows.

different forms
transitioning human life
being overlaps

tipple blood
our ever-thirsty hearts
a fuel-fount

sanity needs
a yardstick for our minds,
it is time

It was all stark silence across the verdant meadow
The soul rested in total peace and some bliss
Until one dark night, when the wind blew really hard,
Rain-kissed drops broke its slumber and made it rustle
From underneath it came a song of ecstasy and joy
I wonder if I heard just that moments back?
And I wonder how many years have gone by, since.

I know it would’ve been great
But i am a li’l late

And it seems you have moved on

I wish i could go back
To where last time we sat

And never leave you alone

But that’s the way it is
You said you wanted it to be

Something more

Had you waited longer
As you once promised to me

There had not been a regret tomorrow
Of what today we’ve come to be

I so wish all could be undone
I am so alone on my way

Strangers again we’re
as you walk away

I know it’d have been great
But i am a little late

And it seems you have moved on

unspoken,
unfound,
unknown
i
remain,
my
true
worth
is
in
your
search
of
yourself.

sink
if you cannot rise
life won't mind

flow
if you can't swim
you'd reach somewhere

drift
if you can't move
it would count

make way for unsaid
make way for untried
today.

molten mass sears inside
bursts off existence's crater
oh, life springs upon even mount of wrath!

forgive a man
for he has nothing left;
he gave to you his all,
his heart and his soul.

Until there is an otherwise
I'd always strive to be the better me
Sometimes for your smiles
Sometimes for your sorrow

'there's an extra beat'
shuffling lungs complained,
but heart felt obliged

i carried a smile to your window side,
but it turned out as i awaited,
you were too busy among laughters!

pismires survive
strides of giants and humans
by sheer ignorance

my love has the shade of dark
for it takes in everything.
both, the light and the murk.

it has the shade like the one
you'd often find with your eyes shut,
faith abound, and strings undone.

By
degrees
we
differ
they
say,
but
I
have
also
heard
360
is
Circle.

i had no choice
no voice enchanted me
as much your silence did

Sometimes we know not our heartbeats that survive
On the bank of the river, or on a stranger's boat

Waiting for us over time to come around
And to take back what we thought we have no more

Green field's hello to sky
Its transforming into clouds,
Its wish to soothe the Sun

wind's invisible hands,
carved a moon in the somber sky
did someone see

struggle is a way
hung up in fluid, hues trudge
long night

Under the smiling trenches,
And laughing burrows,
When the sun is no more seen,
All are same, you and me.

last was the mourning stem,
for whom nobody awaited,
it's all fated.

i trespass reason
i am made up of faith
-- single code faith
unfailing, unyielding
i do not create hope
i sing the song of now
i take on both hands
open and out in welcome
for all that holds good
to beliefs, mine and yours

good to be born
strangers in times of prejudices,
we can draw distances

one drop more
makes me able one drop
less makes me prone

Rain appeared in mid air
sky and earth rushed,
to make a connection.

playful silence
dance of the dark night
cheers!

In my eye
stays a black well of existence,
whence all colors emerge

The day's relentless fate,
and the night's acceptance
Of all its sighs by the end,
Is that what you call true love?
