Failure
Deep May 2021
Victory is resounding the dull cries,
Thousands became victim of a deranged mind,
The mighty whom people assigned power
To change the quality of life destroyed it completely,
The cries, the lament of innocents;
boys without mother, girls without father, parents losing the only light, and the only lover who loved her like she dreamt-
All are lost somewhere in the blame game.

Ellipses
Deep Mar 2019
Ellipses… Ellipses...
Who made you?
You have achieved fame freakishly...
You are easy to put...
And handsome to look…
Supposed to hide
irrelevant details…
Earlier only punctuation mark
you were…
now a substitute of thought…

New Beginning
Deep Jul 2022
Motivation is high
A trophy awaits in the end,
I'm like a child in swimming
but I know to flutter my arms and legs,
I'm certain that this won't be easy
But I'm also certain that I won't drown,
I want to live a life on
the other side of the river dearly.
Hope beginning motivation

Migrants Returning
Deep Mar 2021
I was walking yesterday
I am now,
And I will be tomorrow,
Nothing has changed,
We're hopeless and starved yesterday,
We're hopeless and starving now,
Day changes, the sun changes its course
But  we move on to the same dusty road
in search of handy chores
to hear the jingle in our pockets.


The stakes were different at different times.
Earlier it was thirst and hunger,
Now is the fight against stillness,
We cannot stop.
The houses that we built
The families that lived in it
barricaded from moving ahead,
But we must move on.

The vehicles, the baton, the air, the iron,
the hands of rich and politicians equally
noosing our neck, rammed us in desperation,
As we vowed not to stop.

Our sweat and blood wicks the lamps
glowing in those homes,
We are the horses that pulled these lifeless cities,
the moon shadowed under its corruption.
But we cannot compromise,
My life depends on the walk,
And I have to walk.

We cannot stop.
We must walk.
For those who stop withers early.

Twice decieved
I pounce on my trust
in conflicting mind to tear
it apart,
I move around in my own fear
To trust you again or linger in this
madness thrusted upon me
unasked,
Life was bitter in your absence
But you made it worse with the triangle,
I'm not good in geometry neither
in maths,
I might fail
And failing is better than living in the fear of failure.
I'm deceived again, a poet deserves this I guess
Deep Feb 2021
It's just a moment ago we met
And you insist on leaving this early,
Life has just only begun
Let's refrain from putting an end to it,

I'm lost, my love
Closing my eyes, I wait for sleep...
Lines from Song Abhi Abhi

Message In a Bottle
Deep Dec 2020
No one knows this joy and
Ecstasy on my face, but if I tell, will you
Hear? Like an
Anodyne you entered my life. You're the life-saving drug I need.

Tuberculosis
Deep Dec 2020
Hope is drying up
Like a Well dries after the monsoon,
Sitting in this room, alone and aloof,
I have counted the stains on the wall,
None of it is more prominent than the
One I have with me, I'm a social pariah,
like an untouchable, polluted with death;
Run, Run away from me,
I hold death in my lungs.

Love Stirred
Deep Dec 2020
The ashes are once again fired
by four years of idleness,
Yet again I want to plunge in the
Sea of madness
Knowing very well the outcome.

I'm lost, my friends! salvation is not possible now,
Tell God! I have found a person to worship on earth.

Archer
Deep Sep 2022
All eyes are fixed on a person
who isn't aware of the expectation
of these gazes,


Unmoving is she against all frenzy and noise,
And aims the eye like Arjuna, undaunted and unbridled
slackening the string at once,
the arrow moves making hole in the dictums of a thousand years,
The crowd is numb seeing her deeds which only men performed.

Blanks to Fill
Deep Jan 2022
If full stops.
Occur often.
They take the shape of.
Ellipsis ...

If these Ellipsis
Increase in frequency
They create a ............ to fill.

Punctuation and Life

That Old Site
Deep Jul 2022
The remnants of our closeness
were eaten by our egos
Like cemented pillars we were affixed
in our resolution to not move,

Memory is shedding tears now
visiting that old site where our homes were,
The debris is disturbing to the eye
the stain of blood is not visible but
the ****** of this heart was in proportion
to the hundred wars.

Remain single-wingle
Deep Dec 2020
Try and linger
Jingle-mingle,
But do not wait for Love
remain single-wingle,
The ping-pong of life
the zing-zong of marriage
Is an hopeless affair;

So made up your mind
If possible, make it rewind
the break-ups
you got over with hiccups,
Remain single-wingle
Zing-zong and jingle,
Remain single-wingle,
Zing-zong and jingle.
I don't know what I wrote
Deep Jan 2021
Like certain corners of the world
without electricity
I too write you over my heart like a
child writes an alphabet on his slate
under kerosene light.

Empty window remembers the forlorn
eyes that stared the moon with burning passion,

Looking old photographs, he says,
"How do lovers survive apart?"

Beginning and End

How
Easy was the

How difficult
To end it in
The same

Lost and Found

The Muse is generous these days
or the sadness is welling up,
Who knows?
Like a tired traveller, I'm moving my
pen in hope of reaching a destination.
