desire.
Pradyumna Ranade Mar 2017
In her eyes a vocabulary lies,
roots, oh! so foreign,
meaning, oh! so vague.
In a land so enchanted,
takes her voice, so sweet, such mesmerizing.
Like a moth to fire, such is the desire.
To be lost, to be found...
the desire, oh! so profound.
Under the stars in the skies,
Lie awake naked still.
Talk behind the curtains,
curtain that is, silence.
Him as her, she as he,
she'd want everything she denies.
they'd stand still, while time flies.
the desire, oh! so profound.
Writhing in sweat and breathing with passion.
Consumed by fire, such is the desire.

awakening
Pradyumna Ranade Jan 2017
into the thin air it vanished,
the sense and sensibility all perished.
the quiet in nights turned,
a silent mind it yearned.
void of reason, devoid of logic.
innate stubbornness, innate pride,
lost to it all, desolate might.
turning in bed, all too aware.
cowering in sheets,
from those dreary nightmares.
with bated breath and beaded sweat,
a yearning, a discerning and a sudden awareness of death,
of fleeting time in hand and of urgency to take a stand.

convolution of thoughts, a concussion of sorts.
for , the things of matter and matter of things,
a parallelism, that doesn't seam.
a parallelism indeed,
of, self that matters and the self that doesn't,
of,letting go and holding on,
of, nightmares and daydream.

a sojourn in the dreams of inaction,
and of dilapidated affairs of men,
struck by lightning and pangs of paranoia.
sights of knavery and of chicanery.
sight of self, in the deluge.
an epiphany struck and catharsis followed.
and a thought, a naive perception all billowed.
and whims of self that doesn't matter...
like a frail glass it shattered.
