It comes with
turmoil of feelings
love, sad and  pain  
thoughts of death and depression

when it bangs with 7.8
and evrything is
just lost..lost
and more lost

then they fight..
..fight harder
against the demon
whom once they
...termed as GOD

they condemn themselves
they sorrow themselves
they trust the hugs
of neighbours

as they come to normal
again it bangs with 7.4
again it lost..lost
and more lost

The smashed ribs, the swollen legs
The state of heart every time the ground shakes
The endless tears, the unflattering fears
The subdued feelings, the impotent states
and I realize how helpless I am
As everything vanished within seconds

The cracked hopes, the buried dreams
The unbearable truths, the painful screams
The broken fantasies, the shattered desires
The situation where no one admires
Tried to stop, I tired to evade
Then I realize how helpless I am
as everything vanished within seconds

As the earth starts quaking
the trees start shaking
Leaves tremble down in the harsh breeze
How terrifying is the merciless ease
The house is coming down with a smack
All the windows begin to crack
Animals run about in a scurry
The humans follow out in a hurry
Your shallow thoughts reach for all that's inside
Your tremulous feet move forward leaving behind all pride
A loved one grabs you and holds you down
They say take notice of what's around
The registration of the scene racks your brain
bringing about a searing pain
You fall to your knees
Broken, you plead
Your entire body is filled with ache
And suddenly, your dreams ends and you're awake.
Taking a spin with my childhood rhymes.
Ignatius Hosiana Apr 2015
There's only sad songs in the Souls
No peaceful nights even to the birds & owls
There's no more trusting (life) ,this road
Counting on those close to help lift their load
There's no more stars in the clear sky
Without ears to listen to their lonely cry
There's almost no more reason to fight
Without an armour what's a knight?
There is no destination for their journey
No, not without any strength or money
There's no history to be reported
No fighters, children are unprotected
There's no more hiking the Everest
No room for the mountaneers
No place to call home midst the unrest
There's little if any hope 'neath the rubble
No trust that the quake won't cause more trouble
There's no way help can reach,no channel
And no light at the end of the long tunnel
But there's brotherhood and volunteers
A thudding fall from the tree of hope an Apple
And a percentage worldwide sharing in the plight of Napel

I was born in terrorism.
I grew up in earthquakes, tsunamis and rebels:
in shouting blond girls with red eyes and pixel
smiles.

I was born in blurred faces and mute
voices pulling at my
eyes until I dripped the clotted
tears of a thousand soldiers, or refugees,
or children.

I was atomized, crunched
into small seeds and scattered
across a desert field.
Someday a flower would grow there,
budded from the bones
of my being and  
flowered into a fiery,
empty marigold-- dripping
gold and embers across a thirsty desert,
where the shout
of the civilians was distant
enough to ignore.

I was sodomized,
conceived in the roar--
of the rumbling wave- crashing over-
pulsing through her thrashing cave.

I watched my flower whither
and blister with the deliberate count
down and the glare of the
floodlights-- dowsed in water and soil--
or some semblance of the two.  

I was born in the blood
of my mother and died in the
womb of the world.
Inspired by the destruction of the Nepal Earthquake and the general desensitization of the human race.

Lifeless stones in peace,

How many more tears to fall?

The mountain shudders.
To the many lives lost to the earth and mountain in Nepal, 25th and 26th April 2015.

Peace be with you all.

Good Morning said the sun like everyday,
He woke up smiling finding it a Saturday,
Loads of fun,lots of play,lots of chats,
Morning with ice creams,Evening with play and Night with friends
is that all they had in their plans.

But, the Mother NATURE had some other plans,
She shook the ground for a minute or so,
To turn their plans to wobbles,
All laughter turned to cries,
People running in streets for their lives,
Everyone's homes and hopes falter to dirt
Everyone's dreams turned to nightmares
Just a shake to bring riches to rugs

Loved ones are lost,their hopes are in dirt,
Whom to blame for the loss,
Shall he die succumbing to loss or try another chance at life,
He is a brave man's son,He chose the later
He can breathe so he can live,He can yet again chose the way of life,
Nothing is more fatal than giving hope,
He will live to show the world love is more mightier than the quake.

And I was falling,
So fast
Reducing constantly
To become nothing

And I was barely breathing
A heart forced to beat
Eyes bloodshot
But you could not see

And you were blinded
From the self-despair and pity
A heart
Torn and stomped all over

And you were shaking
From the tremors
only You could feel
But I could not steady your hands

I was waiting for you to save me,
I forgot magic only happens when you least expect it
You were waiting for me to notice
You forgot I was too caught up fighting my own battles

You were bitter
Over the times I had let you go
You forgot
I loved you w every ounce of my being
I was broken
Over the times you did not care enough
I forgot
You are a human with your own limits

And so we fell apart
In the most common ways
We forgot what we had
Because we were too busy grieving what the other person lacked

And now that the end is near
I see where we went wrong
I loved you and you loved me
But love
is almost never enough

And I got my wish
With my last breath I took your name
The earth shook,the sky turned black,
This is my last farewell
I'll never see you again
So many aftershocks have got me losing my grip and when that happens, I write, a lot. RIP people who died in Nepal and strength to their families. Also people in north India like me, just hang on. I know it is hard but... I can understand. and every life is precious so just take care of yourself and those around you
Mercury Chap Apr 2015
It was a lovely afternoon
When I felt dizzy and soon
Started to feel as if my chair's moving
I looked up at the pendant hanging
Freely and also dancing
Back and forth
It wasn't just me who was moved
It was the earth and the whole building hoofed
Back and forth
One slip of plate
And it moved the whole earth.

It was mild
I hoped it won't go wild
Calling for my loved ones
I ran to the ground
People hustling, steps making a panic sound
From the eighth floor I felt it stopped
But as if it read my mind, earth again rocked
More than I've ever felt before
We all hustled downstairs in case it got wilder more
Old people, children running,
Mothers, scared, panicked, scooting.

Down the building everyone waited
Till the earth slowy bated
And stopped in a sudden motion
We were glad it wasn't that strong
Back to home, we all scurried
Switched on our televisions in a hurry.

Though the earth was soft on us
There were places where everything was crushed,
Homes, offices, families destroyed
Everything because of simple but strong
Back and forth
What is happening in the world?
Is it the human being which the earth loaths?
Can we call it natural destrustion or human destruction? Does the earth want to vanish us? Does it loath us? Are we the reason for all this destruction?
