A FAR CRY

amid the merry crowd, i screamed aloud

the ghost of solitude usurped my soul;proud

hoping to lend some ears i walked

to extol the beautiful tale of a heart yet cursed

instead busy strides heard every where

playing the death knell in my ear

a far cry it seems to be

and a Deaf God wait upon me

aching mind with a tiresome leg

and a bowing head ready to beg

many faces passed by,the many darling faces

yet none stopped to hear my cases

To be a man with out any fellowship

Is like a boatswain in a lonely ship

storm and thunder ,his friends

water and wind his kins

for peace and calm we turn

a still roaring silence in return

Saw my Creator in a light

asked The remedy for this plight

Smile was that all He gave

Take it gladly to my grave

DESTINY AWAITS

An oracle shrilled past my ears
and opened my eyes it was dark

thought it to be a dream i laid down
but it haunted me like a ghost

the middle of the night it was; yet
dared to go out in search of my destiny

traveled past the mountains and the sees
and the deep valleys and the hills

the silence of the woods ;the howls of the demons
played the choral song to my journey

asked the spirits and the stars
what destiny awaited me

their mute response drove me mad
and the body began to retreat

but the soul as it was determined
huddled its way through the towering obstacles

on my way heard loud cries of men and
the mourning of women and dirty children

saw the fires and the fumes in the houses
and the remnants of tanks and shells

the children fighting among themselves for their bread
shot down his brother to get his share

smashed buildings and mobs running after choppers
to catch the bits of bread throwing from above

They failed to catch the showers of god
the gifts of love brotherhood and companionship

Now struggling hard ;pulling others to ground
to catch the bread thrown at them by the devils

the sounds and scenes made me pause
both body and soul ;as cold as ice

hold out my hands to an unknown mother
shared the vine bottle to an unknown brother

lost my way in search of my goal
now the call of duty is what rings my ears

conscience murmured in my ears
do your duty ; reach your destiny

A lonely soul

oh ! it creep towards me like death
slowly and silently consuming my light
luring my mind in to darkness and
throwing the body for the devils to eat

playing the funeral song in my ears
and pouring three libations to my body
the graveyard getting ready to welcome me
with its nurturing hands hold out

dark clouds paying tribute to the soul
which was once the Olympia of gods
now languishing here and there
awaiting for resurrection and rebirth

more happily embrace the death
than to lead a lonely life
like that of an insane bitch
lost its way in the midst of stones

a passive lonely life with boredom as
the one and only companion
with out any action and activity
is worse than the ultimate fate

with great gust they ate up its prey
with out offering any challenge i gave up
as i happily embrace the death than life
a life with none to live with and for

loneliness like cancer it spread
craving for my pure soul
as the body is completely surrendered
and the soul will soon be captured..

MY LOVE
Hey friends !I'm here disclosing a secret
The secret that every lover shies to reveal
Its about my latest crush my latest passion
Don't know how i became his devotee
But for sure i love him and his presence

Often tries to remember my first date with him
But that day he left me in a trauma
And my mind stopped working at his sight
So hard to recollect the memories of that day
The memoriesthat every beloved cherishes

And after that he comes often as my friend
As my lover and even caressed me as a mother
And at times of loneliness he cracked jokes
So much so that he could see my laughing face
And at times he danced with me too

Today he came with a bouquet in his hand
And give it to me to convince me
As he failed to kept his promise yesterday
To come and see me and took me with him
To his home which is quite different from my world

But he had a lot of restrictions to hurdle
He cannot come every now and then
There are certain seasons allotted to him
And he painfully accepted them with a smile and
I too realized this; yet loved him more than ever

Some times he gets angry and pours vigorously
And sometimes he gives gentle showers
And awakes all the sleepy mosses and buds and
Gives new lives and hopes to the drying earth
This is my lover; my own rain

Today he seems happy and naughty
Taking me in his arms and kissing my cheeks
But that divine moment stayed for a short while as
Today is our parting day and he came to say farewell
And promised to come the next year

The kiss that he gave is more than enough
For me to live the rest of my life
The beautiful memories that he gave me
Will be my food and fodder till he returns
And till then we 'll unite in our dreams !!!!

LINES WRITTEN FOR A SPECIAL FREND

 I feel for you my dear friend who

 Hides his tears to make me smile

 And glitters my face with his voice

 While a storm was inside his heart

A dutiful companion is he ,making

His friends happy and giggly

Embodies all the goodness of this world

He is my cute little friend

My eyes never get its chance to see him 

Wonder whether they had done any sins

But we known each other because

The heart's language is what we speak

A pink rose devoted her life to him

He too dotted for her love and care

She bloomed everyday cheerfully to

See her sun ; her love

As the sun need to go round the earth

It missed his rose terribly

But her sweet smell reached out to him

And they made him ablaze brightly

Together they draw rainbows in the sky

Like the love birds they sang and dance

Compose poems of love and happiness

And formed a sacred world of their own

But the inevitable was yet to happen

And jealousy was the gods above

Decided to make a touchstone for their love

Testing their unmeasurable love for each other

What has doomed that pink rose as it

 Tries to wither away at the sun's sight    

And it seldom bloomed ever since and

Never the both of them smiled

The sun is hurt and  is now in mourning

Wailing sorrowfully at the thought of his love

Who deserted him to loneliness to weep 

Circumstances ! Circumstances! is what she says

Words comes scarce and  cant describe a soul 

Lost in contemplation about his beloved

Who made his life beautiful and sunny

 And for whom he lives for

Finally the rose identified the depth of his love

And she bloomed once again to see h

And they beamed at each other with love

And together they started singing again

The gods  realized their love for each other and

The heavens above showered blessings upon them

Theyall  celebrated the victory of love

The immortal poem of love is heard everywhere  

 

A Rainy Day





The rain on that day dropped hard on earth
Not to wake the sleepy buds but to
Arouse in me my vainer thoughts that
Dries my heart and wets my eyes

Reminding me of a face ;handsome yet cruel
Shattering the mirror of my heart
His sweet voice stored poison for me
Yet consumed it out of his love

I shut my eyes and closed my windows
But it kept knocking at my door
Soaking my face with blood and
Left me in contemplation

It often comes as though to visit me
But mocked at me very often
Laughing at my face and smiling at
My storm laden heart

But the same rain remain shocked
To see a rainbow in my eyes
And a rose too in my cheeks which
was once marred with the thorns of deceits

Unaware of the return of the almighty
Who deserted me as my soul was under
t he captivity of a deceived love
Now is happy free and serene

The rain in disbelief flee like a lost soldier
It failed to water my eyes and mind
And it shook its head and looked for
Other preys to be mocked at

The last tears that i shed washed away
All my sinful memories about him
Now with a pure heart and soul
I devote myself to Him [god]
