I belong somewhere in the middle — not quite there, not quite here either. But in a constant urge to keep moving. And it seems selfish of me, I think, to take pieces of both sceneries, yet give no piece of me in return.

Between Places
They wander in search of ancient shrines, Endlessly roaming, people seek the divine. Each day, a new address for God, they say— Even He seems to move away. I’ve watched the roads, the cars, the skies, Even learned to watch my thoughts arise. No one leaps to a final stand, Man merely roams across the land. When the wind, with careless grace, Blows away cheap plastic bags in chase. I've seen, at the edge of fleeting delight, So many drift through the dreamy life. All joy and sorrow now congeal, Even the finest feels unreal. Wearing pride as his only name, A hidden serpent feeds on pointless fame. And leaving behind the soul of sight, He spins in circles, day and night. Rather than stepping deep within, He dances round the veil of sin. I’ve watched the roads, the cars, the skies, Even learned to watch my thoughts arise. No one leaps to a final stand, Man merely roams across the land. They wander in search of ancient shrines, Endlessly roaming, people seek the divine. Each day, a new address for God, they say— Even He seems to move away.

The Restless Pilgrim
A wandering soul, so lost, so wide, Drifting through shadows where dreams reside. For ages it wandered, through time and through space, Seeking the moon, its soft silver grace. One day it found, in a small stream’s glow, A reflection of the moon, a light to bestow. It wept in silence, the tears soft and deep, For the love it had lost, for the promises it couldn't keep. The willow tree sighed, its branches low, The soul sat beneath, where the cool winds blow. "I've loved the moon," it whispered, "for eons untold, But I’m trapped on Earth, bound by a cold hold." "Why must I remain in this world so dark, While the moon shines above, like a dream, a spark?" The willow wept softly, its leaves fell away, As the soul, in silence, longed for the day. It gazed at the moon, its heart filled with grace, But forever imprisoned in the Earth's embrace. A soul with no home, no body, no name, Only a love that would never be the same.

Whispers of the Wandering Soul
i cast no shadow beneath the white sun amidst the sea of swaying green and my skin is see through and passes through the blades of grass like a projection a hallucination in no one's head am i even real? there is no colour on these sickly bones but i feel the warmth of red seeping through my transparent mind am i even real? i feel like a ghost with no grave a ghost that has not died just yet a ghost trying to look for something for anything for everything while having no eyes.

The road to you is a treacherous one But you must carry on For this mirror must shatter And the image forgotten For you to see What was there all along In all the madness of life We hold on to what we know With sweet threads of memories, we sew Beautiful pictures we love and cherish But only if mirrors could lie The way pictures do We could go on pretending As if the soul is not a wanderer In search of its treasure trove In the dark silence of sleepless nights It knocks on doors unknown Looking for the one he knows not Yet the only one he knows The one that has a thousand forms Hope, desire, pain and love His dream, his truth, his true self Like a Sufi with a bleeding heart He follows her to deserts and ruins Coz all he wants is to know And the day she steps out of her veil It will shatter to pieces by itself For it's beauty the mirror won't hold And he will dance like a madman Naked through the valley of flames For the fire can't burn him anymore Coz he is burning more fervently inside There will be tears in your eyes Yet you will be smiling Floating weightlessly in your conscious Then close your eyes and drift away To the garden of thousand blooms Which once was the valley of fire And there you will meet your madman Drenched and dancing in sweet rain His bleeding heart is whole again Like it never knew any pain.

Journey to You
I was lost into    a place I've never been    where both the mighty and wicked    hide their true guises    taking two steps at a time    trying to chase my soul.
