That Night

The sweet smile
mixed with bitter sadness while
I walk past;
with future uncertain
waiting across the street;
so colourful and bright
that night

It's Saturday night;
time to unleash
the free spirit;
the people sing
as they enjoy their last drink

It seems like wildest dream;
walking on this street;
passing the dancing strangers;
drunk with memories
of that night

The humid weather;
melts the artificial colour
on my skin
as I try to get away
from the sweaty crowd

Music is playing
from the cheesy pub;
as I watch the dancing couple;
celebrating romance
while reminding me past
of that careless night
where I kissed my dead lover
one last time

The Invisible

Look at the stars,
gleaming and shining;
looking out for attention;
they have desired for long

Look at the people,
awestruck by the glimpses;
of the shiny stars;
as they arrive;
during the night

Look at the performers;
not wary of themselves;
or the others gathered;
while basking in praises
for their talents
they boast

Look at the spectators;
always watching out;
for shiny stars;
ignoring invisible;
with hidden talents

Look at the Invisible
standing at the corner
waiting eagerly;
praising boasters;
undermining themselves
though they are better;
than the proclaimed shiny stars

Look at the Forgotten
waiting for chance
to redeem themselves;
to reclaim position;
and attention
lost in the war
against themselves

Cinderella, Cinderella

O'Cinderella Cinderella
where do you go,
leaving behind your dreams
as the midnight strikes?

O'Cinderella Cinderella
why do you bend
as your stepmother plots
for goodness of her daughters?

O'Cinderella Cinderella
your heart is pure,
golden and clean,
yet you are weak
in hands of evil

O'Cinderella Cinderella
you don't need
any fairy God mother
to enlighten you
with hope

O'Cinderella Cinderella
you hide your real self
beneath the layers
of magical transformation
granted by Godmother

O'Cinderella Cinderella
don't hide
stand up for your right,
as world will recognize
you as bold and beautiful
not delicate princess
of your prince charming

Rainy nights

The rainy nights,
of late September,
neither so hot,
nor so cold,
marking the begining
of season of authumn

Wet! Wet! Everywhere!
Tiny droplets
turn into puddles ,
due to imperfect roads;
made to gain votes

The plants,
green and rich again,
relieved from sun
scorching and burning ,
due to man made global warming

Thunders rumbling,
Lightining flickering,
momentarily appearing,
as the clouds merged,
hiding stars and the moon

Smell of hot pakoras,
crispy and hot,
tempts taste buds,
while tummy craves ,
for one bite

The nature cries,
of happiness,
and sadness ,
in form of tiny droplets
to wash away pain ,
and clean away dirt

Benji Boo

His round eyes

staring deep

into me 

with tiny

pinch of curiosity

His mouth is open

with huge tongue out

waiting for treats

I offer everyday

He is my sweetheart;

who melts my heart

distracting me

taking me to world of his

He is carefree

running around the house,

barking at strangers

sniffing strange smells

is what he does 

while I am out

He eats whatever

he finds chewable;

shoes or biscuits;

chips are his favorite

He wags his tail;

whines for me;

claws the fence

that separates me and him

while I call him

my Benji Boo

Growing Up

Little tiny girls
dreaming big;
about flying sky;
while growing up

Everything seems simple
for little girls
wanting to grow
tall and huge
with hands so long
to pick up things


Innocent eyes;
Curious minds;
Sweet smiles;
No worries;
Tiny wishes
to grow up soon


Do they know?
Life is a ride
filled with joy;
and bit more grief
with testing times
of patience

Little tiny girls
play games
unaware of future
uncertain and unpredictable

Lessons of life
learnt hard way;
bearing little pain;
shedding tears
while growing up

Him always

His sweet smile;

that lit his eyes;

carefully hiding excitements;

he will share 

soon , very soon

His eyes

bore into me;

for mysteries

I will unravel

slowly and slowly

Oh! His touch,

my body shivers,

even when our hands touch

for brief few seconds,

short and sweet

yet seemingly long

His strong perfume

casts magic,

charm me 

to dream filled,

with sweet love

His voice

lyrical sometimes;

masculine sometimes;

make me want,

to hear him many many times

Being with him,

for hours forever.

is what I want

right now always

Passion

Passion, red and hot;

driving me mad;

making me crave

for soaring heights

Emotions within me;

sometimes postive;

sometimes negative;

make me fly high

or fall down the sky

The climb is hard;

everyone says;

maybe they are fearful;

or wary of my success;

The distance is long;

not very long;

but filled with blocks;

stopping me;

every time I step forward

Life is difficult;

like bed of thorns

pricking every time

I step on them

I don't give up;

I can't give up;

I am up already;

fearless of falling

while my passion

stays strong

Diya

Sh
ShShe's invisible girl
    oblivious of her surrounding
     with thin hair

    petite body

   neither pretty
    nor brainy

She's Alice in wonderland;

always in fantasy

in our own world

non existent in reality

She's struggler

a loser or failure

yet she never stops

though she is behind everyone

World has different names

for her kind

but we know her

as Diya

Diya-My first novel in progress which I will presenting in short episodes in my next blog this weekend. Have taken 12 years to conceive the idea. Hope you will enjoy it.

Freedom

Our restless mind;

Our tired souls;

Our lifeless bodies;

wants to be unbounded

by strings of pain

 Impossible it seems,

 to be independent;

 to be free

 from chains of imperfections

Days marked every year,

by people like us,

the day we got free,

from foreign  rules,

yet we are not free

Experiences of life;

memories sweet or bitter;

views of society;

relations we make;

tie us until death

Freedom is

what we do;

what we speak;

what we wear;

without worrying society

It's not politics;

It's not societal views,

It's not religious virtues;

It's us only us;

who can untie

ourselves from bounds

of ignorance

The Childhood days

Curious eyes

wandering everywhere;

observing new views;

relearning old tricks;

during childhood years;

sweet filled innocence

Play times;

eagerly waited;

by innocent souls

alluring them

towards fun and merriment

School times

colourless plain;

yet seem golden

during last days 

filled with pain

Small fights;

everlasting love;

unbinding relations;

old buddies;

stay young forever

while we grow

Sleep worry free

as world goes round;

day night changes;

minutes fly;

but life must go on

is their lesson

to all old and wise

The wish to grow soon;

quick and fast;

no work only play

remains hidden lie;

pretty soon;

tiny ones will know

Friends Forever

We walk hand in hand;

facing life;

with glorious smile;

drawing memories;

sweet and bitter

Friends forever;

promises we made;

we will stay together;

during good and bad times

She had cures

for my cranky moods;

sweet lil jokes;

to cheer me up;

bitter spanking;

to wake me up

Long short distances;

close relationship;

the hi bye ones;

as well as forever buddies

types of friend

you meet in life

Sweet sour times;

awkward situations;

make our bond 

stronger and tight;

never will it break;

ever and forever

Friends forever

always together,

till we die;

holding hands in hand

every day

If I ever do something I love

If I ever do,

something I love,

I would fill 

plain colourless life,

with stories 

from tiny places

no one has heard

If I ever do

something I love,

I would create

characters you see

day to day life

If I ever do

something I love

I would bring

truth hidden

answer unsolved questions

The Caged Bird

Every evening,
begins the routine,
the sky turns orange
the birds return home,
while I sit in the cage,
watching this view,
day and night


The night appears,
I can't sleep,
in the golden cage,
I sit forever,
waiting day and night
for freedom

The sky so wide,
large and open,
empty and fresh
unlike this cage
with railings
preventing me
from flying

Oh sweet love!
Where are you?
I wait here
imprisoned and helpless
by my human captive

My feathers long
for the wind
dancing and playing
while I fly
with clouds fluffy
white and grey

The starved need food,
The drought needs water,
The child needs mother
The unloved ones need love,
and I need freedom

Demons of the night

The dawn sets,
the blue sky turns,
into orange yellow,
as the sun sinks,
deeper and deeper
into slumber

The moon rises,
the cool winds brings,
the peace and calmness,
relaxing tired mind and body

I rest on my bed,
beginning to dream,
a beautiful future
perfect and colourful
fading as the dawn set

Tonight is no different,
as I rest on my bed,
waiting for demons
feeding my mind
to run away,
faraway to their underworld

The demons wander
around my soul,
like the scavengers,
of the dead,
raping my spirit
of contentment and happiness

My eyes are open,
it's almost dawn,
everyone is fast asleep,
my  heart is trembling,
praying almighty
seeking his blessings,
listing to his hymns
begging him to free me
from the clutches
of demons called fear

A dream.. a sweet reality

She smiles

with hidden secrets,

waiting for her knight

riding white horse

who has arrived at last

She blushes

as her cheeks turn red,

without realizing

their sweet story of love

began long ago

She sings

in her heart,

songs of love,

reminding her soul,

the wait is over,

and bad times have disappeared

She giggles

at the sound of her heartbeats,

as it thumps louder

with the time coming closer

for two souls to be one

She dresses

in off white gown,

she had chosen

for the day

she had been dreaming

since long

She shivers

as she sees him

coming towards her,

while she thinks

she is living

a dream

built of roses

and everything nice

The Artificial Nature

Snow capped mountains
surrounded by fog
standing tall and strong,
Sad! It will be gone
while future will remember
the pictures and words
reflected in books

The rains drops,
falls like the arrows
of happiness and hope
to beings tortured
by drought and heat

As year pass by,
the rain drops
turn into drips
formulated by humans
like us

The forests
thick and green,
filled with animals,
big and small,
innocent and wild,
with hope to survive

The forests are encroached,
Tall scrapers are built,
Animals live now,
in man mad shelters
to entertain humans

The river flows,
like blood in veins,
The air we breathe,
is like the soul,
The land we dig,
is like the body
encompassed of soul and life,
yet we forget
to protect

As the Rain Gods arrive

The green grass shines,
pride and happiness
glowing and rupturing
as the Rain Gods arrive

The dry lands,
The steering temperature,
The sweaty palms,
The symptoms of summer
will vanish soon
as the Rain Gods arrive

The smell of mud
wet freshly by rain,
tiny droplets dancing
celebrating their birth
as the Rain Gods arrive

The cold wind blows,
The trees sways,
The lightening strikes
The season of wet rain has begun
as the Rain Gods arrive

The flowers bloom,
The peacock dance,
The rain insects sings,
as the Rain Gods arrive

The rainbows arise,
after the first rain falls,
The sun shines
admist the dark clouds
while the colourful light disperse
in water droptles
as the Rain Gods arrive

Oh my love !

Oh my crazy heart,

in search of sweet melody,
waiting to be lost,
in soft eyes of my beloved

Oh love of mine,
give me a glimpse,
I long for,
night and day so long

Oh my darling,
you are my sparkling
shiny knight
stealing my heart

Oh my charming prince,
you behold me
with warm gaze,
and mysterious smile

Oh sweet love,
you sing me
ballads of enchantment,
trapping me into fantasy

I wait here,
arms wide open,
heart filled with love,
eyes looking out for you
Oh my love
come back home
to my safe heaven

A hate song

You disgust me
with pain and agony.
My heart bleeds,
My soul cries
yet you don't stop
miseries bestowed on my heart

Your love is pretentious,
Your hate is bitter truth,
that is feeding my heart
with poison of your world

You are vivacious,
Charm is your tool,
Your sudden arrival,
Your sudden departure ,
turns my world upside down,
traps me slowly and slowly

You are leech,
a parasite of my life
never leaving my side,
sucking the bright hope
out of my soul

You are sweet enemy,
A friend I thought in need,
Your infamous tricks
remove your masks of mask
yet your true identity non revealed

You are part of me ,
What a tragedy!
I detach you,
yet you seem
to arrive in form
of fury, negativity and arrogance

Shopaholic confessions

The hard cash,

The plastic money,

The discount coupons,
The cash at bank,
cry to me,
'Oh! When will you use me'

Prada or Gucci,
Nothing so cheap
seduce me
by dreams
of having one
hanging by my shoulder

Little black dress
on the mannequin
reminds me
of lovely evening party,
I have in the night

The discount offers,
Mid season sales,
Buy one Get one free,
tempts me wherever
I see

Lakme, Loreal and Mac,
without which I look
plain, colourless and boring;
without which I remain Jane
not Pretty Polly

As I walk,
on street filled temptation,
trapped and stripped
by desire for more
brands making me
feel forever 21

A second chance

A second chance,

a rarest occurrence,

showing it's presence,

once in a while.

A lost opportunity, 

A lost chance,

has come again,

giving hope once again

A second chance

is like sunshine hidden by,

the cloud of destruction

that come in forms

of emotions found in oneself

Demons within us,

crazy and vivacious 

will stop us

from climbing and trying

to touch sky so high

A second chance 

knocks at the door

bringing in with gifts

of future happiness,

dreams and hope

Nothing has perished,

Nothing is over,

yet we stand on brink

of losing nothing

or everything 

The Wait

Blank spaces,

Empty spirits,

Low esteem,

Lost hopes ,

hunting down my lover's soul

like scavengers of the devil

I see him

fighting the inner demons

laughing at his failures,

while I cry

and I try

not to give up

Dreams are bitter lie,

faraway from reality

we live everyday

to match up with mirage

called the dream

He toughens up

He holds up

He stands up

against odds

posed by the world 

he doesn't care 

Distance building,

Sweet memories fading,

Love is dying,

while we stay strong

to hold on to each other

Let difficult time pass,

Let the nightmares test my wrath,

I will wait and wait

Till he strives 

And flies back home to me.

A mother's love

It is sunny day,

streams are dry,

cattle pride walk faraway,

for flowing water 

and green grass 

Atlast they find

an oasis in dryland,

promising water 

that can quench their thirst

not hunger

The cattle fulfill

till it is time

to continue journey

for the love of life

An innocent calf
stranded alone
away from mum
away from it's own
while danger lingers
around his life
in form of lioness
looking for a kill

As she crouches,
towards him,
his life gets shorter,
and death is smiling
at it's youngest victim

She is very close
to her victim
but something stops her
from having first bite
instead she brushes
her face next
to her new son
who is not her kind

Chocolaty Temptation

Sweet sugary pops,
in my mouth
red, purple or yellow
or colours of the rainbow,
melting goodness and sweetness
at once

Chewing gums
sweet at first
like the new life
filled with adventures
juicy and amazing
that ends tasteless
and bitterness

Candyfloss
pink and fluffy
vanishes quickly
as I pop it in mouth

Milk or dark
fruit or nut
round or square
mint or rum
chocolates so yum

Cavities and tooth decay,
I don't care,
weight issues
not a issue
when a piece of chocolate lava
can ignite my passion

Coca bean
the source of this temptation,
when mixed with coca butter
can produce blissful
sweet and sizzling
piece of delight

Summer Terrible

 Summer terrible, 

 the season so abominable

 that raises my temper

 whenever it arrives

The sun at boiling best

 raising the temperature at its worst

 drying the river beds,

 making me wish

 for the cool evening breeze

The clouds are the gifts

of the God Almighty.

Tiny drops , not very large

are blessings to life

pining for even tempest 

to cool it's burning heart.

Hot soups burn tongues

though tasty and delicious

don't relish our taste buds,

while the chilled milkshake

relieves my soul.

Trees are best friends

that protect me

from blazing heat,

though they are dwindling

year after year

Oh the mighty rain gods,

shower  your blessings,

drive away summer

and hide the sun

with your fluffy clouds

Midnight creeps

  The night is empty

  dark and creepy,

   unlike usual night

   with only full moon shining 

    and mad dogs howling

    As clock strikes twelve,

     the souls of dead

     wakes up from bed

      not made of roses 

      but made of dead

      The ghosts strolls,

        the living repose,

       while the dead spin

        the web of trapping

         the living soul 

         When all the demons

          sings the songs of fear,

          she hums the rhymes of revenge,

          of her life taken 

          by the one she loved.

         She didn't want to scare,

          She didn't want to kill,

           She wanted to know

            the truth so precious

             than her lost life 

             

             She swings to and fro 

              from the place she was hung

               while her killer sleeps

               like an innocent child,

                unaware of his victim

                 smiling, ready to take him

                 to a place between life and death

Freedom- Being Woman

I walk out only 

when moon rises

and clock strikes 

twelve- the end of day,

while pack of wolves

walk free for some fun

I smoke

I drink

I club

I dance

while the wolves stare

greedily at me

like I am a prey

in their jungle of myths

My lips are bright red

tempting them of lust,

My dress is too short

to cover my skin

I don't care

the lecherous wolves

who are howling

at my sight

I date many men

as I search for my one

who will be my knight

to hold my hand

when everyone leaves me

by my own

I earn my bread

like many men

to cherish my dream

of being independent one

I don't shun

for this society of bondage

I fly with colours

of freedom and spirit

 

Depression

My heart is empty

with only monotony

beats to keep my body

alive and warm.

My soul is lost

in this world of robots

that take me along

with their actions

they call ' right'.

My mind is blank,
clueless of future
or present or past,
as I walk on rope
so thin and long.

I am walking,
running and moving
continuously in dark,
searching  hopelessly
for shining light

I am alone
amongst people I know
in this world of mine,
I have no one
except me , myself and I

Am I mad?
Or is this phase
we call it -depression?
Am I mentally ill?
Why do I long for
love and care
when I have abundance
of it around me?
My heart is empty
with no answers
for questions above.

Stay stronger

The darkness lingers,
The hope recedes,
The disappoint sets
but heart says
stay stronger

Loneliness, my new BFF,
wishes to stay longer,
sucking my heart out
of joy and happiness
lout my heart says
stay stronger

Evil laughs coldly
at my failures,
as they mock
day and night
but my heart says
stay stronger

Love died
Hatred lived
Fear grew
So did all evil feelings
but heart says
stay stronger

Peace perishes
Restlessness thrives
while I crib
but heart says
stay stronger

Life must go on
Peace must be revived
Love must be reborn
Light must shine
but heart says
stay stronger 

I am a Woman

I am a lady
with a dream of normalcy,
neither too big
nor too small.

I am not first
woman to achieve
nor last one to loose
the battle of sexes

I am soft
like stream flowing in meadows.
who wishes
to be the tiny rocks
that break the flow
of the calm river

I am a woman
you see everyday
at your home
across the street
by your side
sharing your life

I am strong
though delicate outside
while I have fallen
many failures
to come up as winner

Let me free
to greater skies
Untie the chains
of the myths
of the mind
as we are souls
just like you

Nature

Dew on green grass

of the forests of Savannah

is rare view to my eyes

that is accustomed

to the humid winds

of the urban jungle

This part of world

is new to me

as I was born in a place

where the sunshine called life

falls down against diseases

of man made worries

and germs of fast paced technology

Oh! The cool nights,

The shooting stars,

The hooting of the owl

is symbol of silence

that is now no longer

existed in my world

where cries of pain

is hidden beneath

the shouts of gathering

of human masked demons

Here, in this abundance

of nature not yet affected

by men of greed and evil,

I still see the adventures

of creatures so beautiful

that once roamed 

my world free of fear

The sounds of sparkling falls

is like the laughter

I want to listen

again and again.

Nature gives freedom,

we take for granted,

exploiting the resources

we have been gifted

but time is coming near

when we, the creation

of mighty God

will be the cause

of the end

of this resourceful planet

Confinement

My heart confined

in the confines of feelings

of negative and evil,

burning the soul

of mine

Love is lost

not yet lost

as it breathes it's last

in the prison

of heartbreaks and disappointment

The sweet coated words

attract me towards

the dungeons of traps

of the big bad word

that will bring me down

Fresh wounds seem

like the old ones,

while it hurts exceedingly

though it doesn't hurt anymore.

My dreams are held

in four walls of social laws.

Frustration has reached the extreme

and the adrenaline lava wants to errupt

but the worries of failure

doesn't let it out

So I sit here

in floors of wrecked life,

a life that I chose myself

a destiny that was drawn 

since I was born

to win the acceptance

even when my heart doesn't

Oh love of mine

Oh Love of mine

you fill my empty life

with sweet blossom love

and fulfill dreams 

of being someone's valentine

We stay apart

where distance between us

is inevitable thorns of rose

so red that defines the color

of the love that binds us

I dream of special night

filled with the calm rays

of moon white as pearls

necklace adorning my neck

while you sleep on my lap

singing love ballads.

Oh my sweet love,

my life is colourless

without your presence.

Love never seemed 

so true and believable

with you in my life

Nothing matters more,

not even the gold

and glittering diamond.

What matters to me

is your smile,

calm and peaceful soul.

Oh love of mine,

with your arrival 

in my invisible life,

I celebrate everyday

the day of love

Imperfect Love

He makes me cross
with long speeches
about the worldly things
that go above my head
but I watch patiently
at the way his eyes sparkle
when he speaks truth
that I have blinded eyes to

Love is red wine
which tastes better
as the year pass
while we learn
to adjust little here
and little there

He makes me smile
with his poor jokes
that don't make sense
but I laugh like
I found every word
hilariously funny

Love is precious gold
that becomes valuable
as the years pass
while we learn
to enjoy every little joy.

He makes me blush
when he sings
love ballads with affections
pouring out from heart,
making me fall in love
with him again

Love is special
that flows within
invisible network
connecting two hearts,
two souls together
and lone humans one

My Benji Boo

His eyes are hard
like the solid steel,
filled with love
for his master only.

His soul is pure
not mixed with allies
of manipulation and bitterness,
but only unabridged love

He barks loudly
at anyone standing
near his boundaries
set by his owner only






His fur is mixture
of black and golden,
soft and thick
to protect from bitting cold

He loves attention
and walks outside.
Being chained
makes him whine

He will be first love
of my life.
Staring at his
never ending sleeping positions,
listening to the sound
of his restless walks
around the veranda
set by his master only

The view of the world

The world looks round
from up above in the galaxy
where the blue oceans mixes
with the white thick clouds

There are no borders
imaginary or physical
formed by humans alike
from the nations unlike

Wars waged out
in the name of freedom
while we are caged
by lies of our own perception

Love is four letter word
forgotten by the humans,
the only creature well versed
about this pure emotion.

As the centuries pass by,
with innovations and explorations
of new technology built
for lessening effort and time
has taken away human connections

The day will come
when we will celebrate
the true meaning of freedom
where the borders of difference
in race, culture and community
will merge into one
and love will prevail
in this world that looks round
from up above in the galaxy

The poison of Juliet

The poison of Juliet

is sweet not bitter,

but mixture of withering

love I have consumed

in my heart

slowly and slowly

drop by drop.

The poison of Juliet

is nor acidic

neither bleach

killing the germs

of misunderstandings and lies

It is not medicine

that can cure my heart

from insecurities

and ward away 

the demons

inside me

It is juice

from the devil,

bringing the havoc

from his jungle

of terror

It is a death,

bringing end

to life of my Poor Juliet,

the better part of my life

and shelter to my soul

I wait for the god of death

while drinking this sweet poison

that consumed my poor darling's life

and concieved by the people

who wished to see us apart

Love is Mirage

Love is a mirage
in desert of deception
where vultures of false liaison
fly, preying on the innocent heart of mine

Love is a bitch
with fake make up
attracting the sweet souls
to the oasis of hell

Love is wild dream
that is rosy in the night
but is never existent
in real Morden world

Love is shit
that makes you believe
in sunshine beautiful
and calm, peaceful and serene

Love is lie
shown by devil
while he smiles
at the pain of heartbroken

Love is neither red
nor it is grey,
it is colourless
that has bleached my heart
out of all emotions

Have you wondered?

Have you wondered
that the earth looks round,
with mixture of land, cloud and air
from the space above?

No one is Indian
No one is Estonian
No one is American
in the eyes of an alien
from the planets so many

Have you wondered
that a small piece of paper
or plastic or metal
defines a person's worth
than a large golden heart?

Have you wondered
make up erases
the faults in your face
but love takes long time
to erase out pain

Have you wondered
that life would become colourless
as you grow up
while you sacrifice and compromise
all the time of your life ?

Have you wondered
the inequality has been breeding
since the time immemorial
within us?

Have you wondered
new diseases have being explored
than the unique species
in the world?

Have you wondered
how we could enjoy
life's tiniest moments
without waiting for the next one?

Welcome 2015

The year has passed by

bringing memories of life

so wonderful as well as nice

Let the past die,

Let the future arrive

as we sing songs of farewell 

when the clock strikes midnight

No one has ever celebrated

with fun and excitement

during someone's departure

simultaneously with someone's arrival

The new year has arrived

with new hopes and secrets

to be unraveled and disclosed

as well as stories

to be unfolded

while new relationships are kindled.
