Poem a Pic

here i lay
fettered,
fettered by the winds of time….
cared juz by the rust,
creepin within day by day evadin away my glory…
tired spokes of mine were once,
vibrant to scale the latitudes !
restless to touch the destination !!
proud of their flawless pace !!!
they now lay in despair,
lifeless with blue..
still,
i rest in peace..
rejoicin the vanity of mine,only mine !



You are too high and too distant,
still not out of reach…
we try harder and harder,
but you manage to defeat…
we fall back again and again,
not in despair,not in vain…
the harder we fall, the stronger we raise !
A gaze at you fills us with courage,
to fight the gravity drawing us in.
A thought of u envigourates,
the wildest anticipation driving us from deep within !!



There she rose,
a swirl of steam with the familiar aroma,
the smell of hers enriching the air,
the grace of hers bringing life to the beholders,
the warmth of hers gently awakening my sleepy soul.
you refreshed my mind and cheered my spirit,
agitated you were,still refreshed my thoughts.
but where did you instantly vanish robbing all my laziness ??!!
I truly miss you my maiden !!



I wish to disappear,
I want to get lost.
untraced and unseen behind the screens,
merging as a green among the greens…
I’m so gloomy,
I’m so very sad..
having eternally lost the hide and seek wars,
shining as a moon among the stars…

Nothingness

restless mind..
fettered thoughts..
agitated dreams..
pointlessness unbound !!

liveliness shrouded by murkiness,
darkness creeping deep within.

winds of melancholy chilling the innerself,
blue clad serene desires of white chrome !

despair hauling out the glowing spirit,
dwindling conscious..

the clock ticking away its way into nothingness !
Absolute nothingness !!

Eternal Evanescence

It was dusk,
the saga of the sun basking in its glorious sheen semmed mortal
as the darkness creeped in slowly and steadily...
the striking skill of god went unappraised
as myriads of birds ceased to chirp...
the realm of the white maiden
robbed the glow of everything adding to hers...
sounds , smacked by silence died a painful death
shrunk , the vanity of this world !!

The incessant waves still reverberated
never they shuddered in the coldest of the winds,
never they thought to recline for a moment ,
never they gave up dreaded by the diminishing ray of hope,
restless were they driven by their anticipation...
for they believed that
there will be a dawn to make this dusk eternal !!
for they knew that
this eternal evanescence will last evermore !!!

i'll lay down everything of mine
for the ephemeral trance....
which makes me feel nothin but,

the rhythm of ur heart beating with mine..
the sweet strength of ur slender embrace..
the depth of ur breath reflecting ur ecstacy..
the serene thoughts which always care for me..
the warmth of our eternal love..
and the hope that u'll be my side evermore..

please tell me this is bound to happen....
dont let ur steep stillness
shatter my dreams any more !!

twilit balcony of my sweet home,
the best of heavens i shuld say,
i settled with a hot streamin' cup of coffee
a swirl of steam with a sweet ,well recognised smell
rose and was lost in the air...
as i smelt it, i was reminded of her,
my soulmate,
who always accompanied me for my evening coffee,
i was reminded of all r moments together,
all those silly meaningless talks ,
the innocent gestures, the endless gossip.....
which were a part n parcel of all r evening get togethers..
i closed my eyes ,wished she was by my side...
soon took a long deep breath n felt a comfort..
as she was closer to my heart even being miles apart !

In Despair

Rejoicin’ ,
the unadulterated nature's serene beauty..
the slightest tinge of beauty in a child's cry..
the overwhelming brightness embracing the dark skinned night
the sweetest pain of adieu from a good friend
moving, my finger writes on…..
realizing,
the deepest silence which chills my heart,
the ignorance of the benighted mind,
the melancholy which haunts my thoughts,
the solitude which penetrates deep within,
my moving finger just writes on.....
just writes on n on.........

Nature

lonely, lonely in a frozen night,
enthralled by the warmth of the cold breeze,
admiring the sheer beauty of the white maiden,
i lay lay in a trance,
gazin' up the star strewn sky.
lost in thoughts,
i was searchin' searchin' for somethin',
among the numerous stars,
i was searchin' searchin' for someone
who had been always with me,
refreshing my thoughts,cheering my mind,
but veiled....unseen....unseen
coz my eyes were blinded by this beautiful dream.....

Life

Memories afresh as dew clad on the fresh grass,
a fullstop never does it has,
in all its silent beauty n subtle grace
always leaves us with an unuttered phrase...

In the deep,dark,drowsy shades of mind,
there lies the slender nests of these myriad glowmoths
capturing the unsurpassed delights
all those cherished,treasured moments
which brightens the past n lightensup the rest.

the luminance that grows strong with
each n every crack of the dawn...
for life is just a
struggle to enhance this radience..
before the sunset in the welkin of spirit.
