Breaking down the walls
Can be very hard....

If you break it down
Brick by brick

You have made progress
That many people will see

It takes times
To release the demons

Make the wall
Come crashing down

But if you let us
Into your hearts

Then the true
                         YOU
                                  Will be found....
Most of us have a wall that we build around us through the years. Try to make the wall come crumbling down to unveil the true you.

The ether shimmers.
Time slips.
Your words float,
and dance for my eyes.
But we belong apart,
destined never to meet.

Yet...

There is a connection
as images assault me,
directly from your pen,
wrenching my soul,
drawing the pain,
painting the pleasure.

And...

Your words found out
emotion is not dead,
its just a sleeping child,
waiting to be loved.
But we belong apart,
destined forever to be...

… perfect strangers.

A lady had a garden of oranges
oranges were green
her children were in teen

The garden was irrigated
oranges went yellow
her children needed 'fellow'

The garden entered spring
oranges got burr  
her children left her

The garden suffered autumn
though oranges were ripe
her endless tears... and nobody to wipe

The garden may love its fruits
and oranges may be orange  
but this poet wants revenge !
My past karma are so
that they make me go beyond
just being a human
while the present ones
tend to fall me from the same....
Amidst the struggle of these two
I am falling for his name..
Coming out of all the myths
the deities, the idol worships
I dared to challenge myself
to disapprove my childhood God kept on shelf

Then began the period of unrest
the soul was no more body's guest
Mind surrendered to the inside quest
and I had to pass the divine test

Though I wasn't a atheist
but for so-called God, this soul wasn't a feast
I again dared to challenge myself
this time to dismay this world's God itself

No doubt ! Almighty is there
much beyond time and thought
yet you wish to believe
believe in yourself as if you were God !
Nobody understood
those pathetic eyes
jibes all the way
unfolding luscious ties

All were gazing her
with ambiguity
but what I realized
was that inside beauty

Amidst the metro
full of lecherous in disguise
those eyes asked me
for being so nice

And these eyes of mine
closed for a moment
in respect of the inside shrine
bringing a smile on her face so divine....
