I live in the West,
The happening world
I am going to travel
To exotic places,
In search for sun and fun
As the world
Around me falls,
Not interested,
It’s not of my creation
I am going to listen
To music,
As these chords mix
To create the sound
In search for peace and comfort
I am going to adapt
New habits,
Odd and strange;
Simple and easy
For experimentation
In search for […]
Bring in my patients,
“I am ready”,
Says the young surgeon
In his scrubs,
Often in pink or green,
Pass me those instruments
Those goiters and forceps
As moments fold,
Into hesitation and valor
As moments fold,
Into years of learning
To extract,
The old fluids
Causes of distraction
Often they come,
The old thoughts
Upon these tables
Of finding a conscience
Dead or alive
To question,
Those old rhymes
Of faith and existence
To question,
The old […]
Many years they spent in control,
Of our fates and dreams,
Of all the time given to rectify
The old mistakes, the old blunders
Avoided they have, this responsibility
Like those old fears, glued to bones
Not a virtue they say “to accept”
The years of guilt- in conscience and soul
Destroyed in abundance, the spirit
From the concept of nearness,
The hollow mechanics of […]
What is my life ’s standing?
in the suicidal mockery of my
fellow beings
where the sneeze of an animal
is of concern
but a mother kills her own children
to avoid a life of hunger
doesn’t raise a tear
where dacoits are in the councils
of law making
where everything is translated to mandate
where aims are twisted
into manipulated tools of using people
where faces change; […]
Only a hope we all have
our only possession;
to offer
through years of trial and error
Only a day we all have
Our only celebration,
To remember
Through years of our formation
Only a life we all have
our only existence;
to bring peace and comfort
through years of blood and terror
Only a nation we all have
entangled in crisis;
to gather
through years of evil and hatred
Only […]
“The ode to the old train journeys………”
Part 1- The Arrival
Like a carefree bird
It arrives,
With its horns and whistles
Engulfed in smoke
Left behind,
The old trail
Of excuses and failures
As I hear the calls,
From fruit vendors
To the tea makers
It’s a long journey,
So prepare and be patient
Take it will, many days
To travel,
Across thousand miles
To unravel,
These beautiful mountains,
These lonely deserts
They say […]
Bring you will “the revolution” they said,
As my young soul stared into its existence,
From those tables where they all ate,
Fruits, knowledge and fear of unknown
Raise yourself, you have learnt enough
Our voices will be there, always
Unfold your arms, don’t remain silent
The old desks, heavy in their burden
As my old friends let me disappear
From their world of […]
As I wonder into creation of an old magic
Of my bindings in this world and to another
The white-haired often speaks of her years
Of her dreams, and of her existence
Of what I mean to her, and of perfection
Wrote many, in their lifetimes, of a relation
As words not enough, as feelings more inherent
Hidden and beautiful, in its […]
She couldn’t help but make
The same mistakes everyday
She lies broken;
Broken inside,
Reasons are?
Why? Is she not strong?
She was strong,
But where should she go?
There is;
No place to go,
It’s all because of your grace,
She wants to go back,
Go back home;
Did you go dry her eyes?
She’s broken inside;
Because she came to you,
The girl inside;
The girl that is you;
Me, everyone,
Lost-
Lost, […]
These blank sheets of paper
Often ask, often wonder
As I stare in dispersion
Invites me they to begin
An empty fine existence
Into lands – unknown!
Arrival of ink with thought
There stands me,
To witness, its story
Of paper and words, in fusion
To see its pain, to see its face
Moments of acceptance
As we all fall, as we all rise
From these podiums of […]
