"Run!" -heavy breathing-
You cannot trust them
Please.. Don't wait for me
Go..
If you have faith in me, don't ever look back.
Promise me.. "
His voice was trembling
I know you want me to come back
Take me into your bleeding arms
How can I forsake you?
If this means my death, so be it
Your beautiful eyes, I need a sight of 'em
.. And so, I did turn around to run into his arms
-silence-
-collapsing onto the ground-
No.. NO!
I was bathing in his sacred blood
Moaning and screaming till it thundered
The silence was deafening
My slaughtered heart stared at the corpse
of the man that I saw God in
My tortured heart stared at the corpse
No..*

Woke up, gasped, started to cry out
You rushed into my room to wash away all my doubt
I wiped my tears and hugged you tight
.. this, yet one more proof of how lucky I am to give and get love
from people
Including you, or without.

You are untethered in my blackness.
Floating, wandering, wherever you go,
I'll have you in me.

I held you tight for too long
And now, you are numb to my touch.

Sauntering around like the dreamy clouds do,
I devote my eyes to the breath-taking beauty of the night sky.
He is my best friend. He stole my heart.
He pacified my thoughts with his stable grace,
and his mysterious silver embroidery surface.
He had me with his beautiful crescent-like smile
and his fulsome jewel-like face.
That radiance cannot be made. It cannot be faked.
No disguise, no wizard, no human, no technology would replace
the glory of this unreal solid.
He is the beat of my heart, the enigma behind my mind.
My ultimate source of emotion, passion, love,
Endurance, lust, ambition, sensuality.
A condition for heavenly survival.
The lover of the dark, the emperor of beauty,
The slayer of skepticism, The one with termless complexion,
An illusion you wouldn't imagine even when you are drunk.
  And that is, just to me.
One mere human out of gazillion.
To me. One whole shade of soul.
One whole set of crazy wonders.
It works miraculously to this extent to some
But this way, Just to me.

Like the stars,
A thousand dreams burn softly in me
There is only one who can light up my sky
And that is you.


*Only you, my dear.

Without a lover who'd slash your heart
Or an impudent cut across your cheek by your step mother
Without the pain, without things to bother
Without the mosquito and the rat,
Without Malaria and plague to smother
You will be living in paradise
Dear friend, you just realized
This is Earth, the devil's prada.

Bold strokes a shy paintbrush makes
A flawless stroke of golden brown - her hips
Heart beats faster the artist breathes
Heavy and breathless and stolen
  Brave hands it takes
  To paint her bare sandglass waist
The woman who made him realize
  that he has a heart
  and that it beats only when he thinks of her.

Get ready to fly with bleeding wings.

How  are  you  going  to  battle  me
When  I  find  peace  in  yo­u?

Let your thoughts flow
like a river out of your pen
Don't care if it rhymes
Just make sure you lie within them
Weave them into one fine poem
Again, neither edit nor condemn
Frame it and you will be having
A masterpiece in the end.

I am not afraid of darkness
Why should I be?
The brightest of all lights
Is shining within me.

Summers pass me by
Breathless your heat touches me
I found an ocean
Underneath your desert sand.
Monsoons drench me whole
Cold frozen water from space
I treasure the droplets
Dripping off you.
Winters intoxicate me
But your breath keeps me warm
You kindle in me the fire
We sweat through the rainstorm.

Winter is the coldness of black marbles
Two beautiful black gems,
Your eyes.

Summer is the press of your warm lips
Like evening rose petals
Moist with drops of dew.

I am just fourteen but my immortal soul is sea green
Old and antique like my grandfather's shattered canteen
Realistic like Déjà vu and alive like death and demean
It has grown tough and stubborn like wood covered with jade green.

You shelter me,
You bear with me,
All the tests I've made for you
You have passed;
You caress me
You impress me
My presence is injecting sharp
Yet you are what you are.
I am so sorry
I make you writhe in pain
I am only making you stronger
Peace you shall own, harmony will rain.
Do you know why
I chose to shine only in you?
I believed that you are
The strongest person I knew.
The rest I see
Pain would **** them
I am so lucky
To have found home like you.
You shelter me,
You bear with me,
You are my home
And you will be free.

Yours,
Soul.

My soul is an ocean and you've dived into it deep
Ignoring no little thing you see
discovering all that I have deep down within me
You got me to realize the purpose of a mate
with whom one can share a soul as antique as that of mine
You swam deeper and deeper and deeper
until you've conquered the whole of me
This body was mine and now it is all yours
This soul was mine but now we share it , of course
Dear Savior, dear discoverer
I have loved you for a million years
and I shall do so for a million more.

Ignite my soul
Welcome my pleas
Smirk at my grief
Steal it all away, please.
Excite my skin
Invite me to kin
Show me how scary life can get
Steal it all away, please.
Dance around me while I sob
Employ my sorrow
Pay me for each teardrop I shed
Steal it all away, please.
Pleasure my senses
Unleash my beast
And just when I think I need to cry
Steal it all away from me, please.

When you want it to be
No force can stop you
When you expect miracles
No logic will guide you.
Awaken your senses
Set your sight on fire
Let your eyes gleam with
What within does hide.
Desert your brain
Control your mind
You are a wizard
Let your power shine.
Seek the impossible
Shaken dreams to truth
Show to your own self
What a wonder you are.

She moves those hips hypnotically
As she smiles through her slender long fingers
Speaking with her big beautiful onyx-black eyes
Ah, Will you just look at her grace?

Her saree painted rich brass
With amber brown motif on the edges
Heavy indian anklets adorn her ankles
Her skin so golden on which sunshine sketches.

Glorious, every little move she makes
Flamboyant, her mehendi feet, the way they part and meet
All the energy any strong man can have,
Reflected in her elegant femine beauty, sincere and discreet.

Like a goddess, she holds her head high
And showers you with her immortal blessings
When she gets down the stage with a humble smile
You'd exclaim "paradise on earth" with a sigh.

Come to me, dear Harmony
Drown into me your ecstasy
Hold me, give your pain to me
Be my evening sky, I am your sea.
Come closer, my Destiny
Take me beyond this galaxy
The breeze sings, the moon glistens
Find in us the place we next meet.

Where there is now wisdom, evil did once reign
Under this celebrated dome, skulls and bones still remain
Close your eyes, into you, find your path through all pain
Wisdom's light will blind you; victory for an eternity will rain.

Raindrops raindrops feel my skin
Bring with you the monsoon din
Sweep a smile across my face
Purify me with your flowing grace.

The skies are raining cats and dogs
I sing my song to the birds and frogs
From over the moon the raindrops fall
To free this world of the heat and haul.

All these countless stars
Just the million shades of colors
The mystery floating in the air
The weeks, the days, the hours;
The very feeling when you smile
Changing into guilt's home tower
The pain, this fickle pleasure
Gratitude which has the healing power.

What an amazing creature I am
How astounding you yourself are
The power to create on and on
Lies always just a thought away;
The first shower of rain after summer,
The romanticizing drops of midnight dew
Breathing in, breathing out
Disease and meaningless doubt.

Would you ever dream of shooting stars?
Could you in your wildest dreams build beauty like today?
Do not cry
There's still hope left
You will not die
Until you purposely **** yourself.

I know you don't care
but again, a part of you does
So, here I am once again
telling you tales of all that I was.
There was a man in my life
who now, maybe left
but I still see him crystal clear every time I close my eyes to blink.
He still laughs out loud like a careless little kid
He still walks his way into stranger hearts
just to experiment, yes
He does not love
But I don't know what made me fall for him
Whatever it is, definitely it ruined me
in the most beautiful way, in the most terrible way
I am devastated at what he made of me.
He ran past me on Monday
On Tuesday, he took the trouble to look at me
He smiled at me on Wednesday
and on Thursday, got me head over heels
I smiled at him back that evening
Friday, I don't know why he said 'please'
He kisses her before me on Saturday
and Sunday, he comes to check on me.
He drew me wild and crazy
I forgot who I am.
The best of all the story is that
Every week he still plays his game
Holding my heart in his palms and watching me writhe in turmoil
but I still breathe in the pain
Smile at him when he wants me to
I know he is a disgrace to planet earth
but at least, he troubles me to the extent of joy and bliss.

Do you know what one life would mean to a dying soldier?
Do you know how much a mother cries for her dead unborn?
Do you know that God believed you to be worthy of life?
Do you know what a disgrace this is?
This deed will smell above the earth.
It is an unforgivable sin.
The most pathetic crime.

Hold me, rid me of the cold
Give me warmth
Hot, fearless and bold
Love me, hold my hand
We have each other
Till we grow old
Far away from this world let's flee
Leaving no trace behind
Help me build your nation
Become my religion
You are my dream, you are my gold
You shine brighter when you in my arms I hold.

Walking on the wet September grasslands
Waiting for you as I smile to myself
The hours they swim through the rough shore of time
Ignoring the weather, welcoming the cold
My feet kicking off those tiny stones
They do not know where they belong
My head faced down, eyes staring at the ground
Oh, what an unusual treat
of curious mystery pumping through my veins
This silence, one may call it absurd
But right now, it's the tune to my song
The clock strikes twelve and yet
You are to be seen no where around
Is there ever going to be a limit to my madness?
I know the truth
I shan't be seeing you anymore
So, I walk my way back
Back the wet September grasslands
Smiling to myself
All the way home.
