There's a rock
In the ocean
Which I envy,
It's like a tombstone.
A rock that's not always covered
By the Pacific ocean,
It plays with the motion
Of the waves,
Holding its breath
When the water comes,
Like a child going through a tunnel.
Life grows on the rock,
Kelp that help
Holding to the smallest cracks,
Like a bumblebee
Trapped in a web
Heating up in the sun.

आपका इंतजार हमेशा रहेगा,
मोहब्बत बरकरार हमेशा रहेगा,
दिल टूट गया तो क्या हुआ,
पर आपसे प्यार हमेशा रहेगा,

वो झुठा पल हमे याद हमेशा रहेगा,
सीने में दर्द ए आगाज हमेशा रहेगा,
इन आंखों में आँसू है तो क्या हुआ
आपके लिए ये बेक़रार हमेशा रहेगा,

इन होठों पर फ़रियाद हमेशा रहेगा,
वो बिखरे ख़्वाब याद हमेशा रहेगा,
हम नही रहे तो क्या हुआ सनम,
इन अश्क़ों में वो जज़बात हमेशा रहेगा..✍

दर्द देने वाले मुझे आज कुछ नया सीखा गए,
दिल तोड़कर मेरा आज मुझे वफ़ा सीखा गए,
हर बार देते है इस दिल को एक जख़्म नया,
एक और जख़्म देकर आज मुझे बेवफा बना गए,

काश! इस दिल का दर्द भी हम दिखा पाते,
कितने जख़्म है इस दिल मे वो दिखा पाते,
तो शायद आज बहानो की ज़रूरत ना पड़ती,
ये जख़्म ही बिन कहे सबकुछ बता जाते..✍

We all want to be liked
To have people see
The version of ourselves
We choose to be
And say, yeah
That's someone I admire
I aspire to be like
We all want someone
To look back on
The snapshots we've accrued
Over years of holidays,
***** nights,
And picture perfect food
And say, look
Here's someone who's got things sussed
We all want someone
To validate our lives
To comment that we're doing just fine
You're great
You're pretty
Your smart
Well, I guess that's a good start

We all want someone
To click that **** thumb
And validate the effort
Of keeping the mask on

She inspires and destroys,
She conquered, before the Viceroys.
Her power & beauty, in awe we see,
Mercurial, blossoming immortality.

Insidious fingers creep over the fence,
Leaving thriving forests, ever so dense.
Weaving for Earth, an elegant cloak,
Yesterday, to the truth I awoke.

She favors none & is never antique,
A surreal presence, ever so unique.
Leaves shrivel & flowers wither,
But time, her splendor does not tether.

The die has been cast, the battle lines drawn,
Nature gainst her destroyer, as she awaits the morn,
Look not so forlorn,

For tis from chaos nature brings,
Peace and order to all things.

Mesmerized by swirling lights,
kaleidoscopic colors flash,
reflections of silvered mirrors
simply add to the confusion.

Lurking clowns with orange hair,
crawl amongst the shadows,
waiting in ambush,
armed with terrifying laughter.

Slippery slides and trap doors,
lead to fearful passageways,
a labyrinth of neon trees,
roamed by purple minotaurs.

Helixes of pink and yellow,
spin baffling the mind,
tables and chairs on the floor,
but we walk upon the ceiling.

Jets of air blast through the floor,
surprising and delighting,
and suddenly the door opens,
and real life rushes in.

How many bridges have we burned
How many lessons never learnt
Try and do but then we don't
Say we will but know we won't

How many flames have we shot
How many mysteries never caught
Reveal but then very well refuse
Admit but still confuse

How much more can we take
How many do we blame for our own mistakes
We know what we need to intercede
But how far do we take that belief?

How many desires we breed
How many sins we commit
Though we know for what we aspire
Still we keep on fits with betrayed trials

How many years have flown by
How many tears have we each cried
Far too many I believe to count
From lips that move without a sound

How many theories never understood
How much head we put
How much we neglect
The oscillations of solace..
