#vigor
It is a place of abode to eternity Everything is vivacious and startling With the blessing of almighty! Nature creates its own mystic presence With its vigor and extensiveness To make it generous! Everything resembles with our life and its process Inspire and embolden to lead the life! In the end we return to the place In search of eternal peace! It is a place of perpetual wind We call it ‘Balpakram’ !

Place of perpetual wind
My heart soars When I read your favourite book It is the only way I can be a part of your story

Soaring
I find the allure of burgundy hues,           not one for the corpse of grapes,                being   squeezed of every essence of life... But the allure haemorrhaging forth.. I could be buried within this collage of                                                       elegance. And when I dig myself from it,                        I would  paint,                                    seeing  a picture of vigour. Not the outline that others see , when                 its chalk lined on the canvass. Its not deceased, this moment has only just breathed.

Wisdom
The world from here looks like an endless landfill of human trash, Crime, pollution, hate, and death, Fill our ears and eyes and noses from the moment we wake, Till the moment we medicate ourselves to sleep. The air is too hot, The people are too many, And when I walk down the street, I feel like an ugly alien, But there’s a little place, Nestled in the veins of the city, And at night, when the air is heavy, And the sky is quiet with darkness, The doors open to this little place, And the people go inside. In this little place, everything is so lovely, Even when the beer grows warm, And the rain floods in through the poorly sealed garage doors, Even when the powder on the floor is spread too thin, And there’s not enough seats, And the old curtains haven’t been dusted, It’s perfect in every way. Here, in this place, The bar is unevenly lit, but it’s got what you need. The old, black chandelier gives you just enough light to see what you need to see, And the stage always has instruments, Playing away your blues. The curtains and tapestries swallow up the sound of the outside, And when the music starts, you can pretend that you’re somewhere old. A time with saxophones and an upright bass That cry out an ode to the dancefloor. It calls to people, In trousers and Mary Janes, As they swing, **** and lindy across the concrete to the sound of their anthem. Skirts swing, Shoes slide, And the people close their eyes when the notes are especially smooth. Glasses of watered down scotch and lipsticked martinis are left at the tables And inhibitions are left at the door. Low, sultry tones resonate through the creaking wooden platforms beneath the tables, So no matter who you are, The cat swinging his gal on the floor, Or the one nodding from the booth, You can feel it. But everyone, Everyone down to the big man at the door, Has to get on their feet. The music is too sweet, Too good and too smooth, Not to try it on. Gotta try a little taste of that jazz, That old swing, That smoky blues, Whoever you are, Oh, you’ve gotta try a little bit of that. Someone takes someone else, And off the people go. One foot, two feet, three feet, four feet, And on the floor, they slide, swing, and **** To the excited fluttering of everyone’s collective heartbeat Beat, Beat, Beat, Into the microphone, You can’t resist, Whether you’re “good” or “bad”, If you dance, you dance, In jeans, in a dress, Suspenders or sweats, If you dance, You dance, That’s all there is. Someone sings out your deepest woes from the stage, And you shake, rattle, and roll, Until your feelings are all over the floor, You don’t need love here, You don’t need any of it. There’s no husband and wife, You can’t go steady, Romance is a faintly remembered legend, All you need here is dance. Rhythmic pounding of feet against the ground. That bass starts to strum, And everything you thought you felt is replaced, Replaced by air moving through you. If you thought you missed someone, Think again, If you thought you had unrequited love for someone, Think again. Here, the people hop, skip, and glide from wall to wall, And whatever they felt before, Flies off of them like dust. Because we’re the dancefloor people, And we can’t feel a thing. By the end of the night, You’re lucky to breathe, Feet red and sore, Body wrung out like a rag, There’s nothing left to feel but your mattress and a gratifying ache in your limbs. The dancefloor people can’t see the kingdom of trash, We can’t see it from here. Spinning, wild and hot, Just trying to stay on our feet, Grins splitting weary faces, No, we don’t see that bad, bad, Ugly, ugly, Earth. We’re the dancefloor people, We’re aliens, we’re characters in a story, And when you come looking for us, We’ll swallow you up, And you’ll be dancefloor people, too.

Ode to the Dancefloor People
The world from here looks like an endless landfill of human trash, Crime, pollution, hate, and death, Fill our ears and eyes and noses from the moment we wake, Till the moment we medicate ourselves to sleep. The air is too hot, The people are too many, And when I walk down the street, I feel like an ugly alien, But there’s a little place, Nestled in the veins of the city, And at night, when the air is heavy, And the sky is quiet with darkness, The doors open to this little place, And the people go inside. In this little place, everything is so lovely, Even when the beer grows warm, And the rain floods in through the poorly sealed garage doors, Even when the powder on the floor is spread too thin, And there’s not enough seats, And the old curtains haven’t been dusted, It’s perfect in every way.

TRY ME Like swimming in the sea I am a wave crashing over you With a current too strong And too deep TRY ME On the side of a cliff With arms outstretched and fingers clenched Reaching for everything Be it far short of eternity TRY ME When I’m standing tall Like a pendulum Rocking in the springtime of youth Until my stride becomes a bitter fall TRY ME As the wicked winds are howling Having carved their way inland Ever trying to push me off the edge Midway through my own decent TRY ME If you dare TRY ME If you will AND TRY ME If you'd like to see All of the TRY that is left in ME

Vitality
That hot-blooded youth Expired at last Cold grease-fire ashes Just soot on the soul. Where are the children And where are the wives Where are the stocked-up answers For the rest of his life? Here is the bourbon Here is the wine There the eyes sparkle But the limbs have all declined. His speech is fiery His decisions forthright But where there was once a cuff to the cheek There is grasping for a cane. I respect the man I acknowledge his might It's death I despise And its sapping of rights.

Cold Sword Quest
*My old self keep dying everyday To keep tryst with new beginning Young heart beating with vigor Every vein filled with brimming hope Charting new territories Being better than my old persona Inception of fresh perspective Every cosmic particle in me enthused After fresh lease of life*
