The indelible
marks on time
The eventual
fall of the last rise
No matter how
much we regret
The moment we
live to forever despise
Which haunts
to sadden us forever
The constant
din emanates from echo of surmise
If only we could
hold the time for once
When the constant
truth arises from transient lies
The swarming
memories blindfold life
When you stare
hard into blurring eyes
The breath that
fails to recoil from within
Your mother rests
on lap and then just dies.

I shine eternally
with a hope
Upon your frigid
world
But this white
layer of callousness
Fails to flow
like my inherent magma
Notwithstanding
my infinite dazzle
From dawn to
dusk everyday
And to begin
everyday afresh
After a night
of charred regrets
Though some drops
of dew
Like stars in
the raven sky
Glitter in my
devastated world
When they sneak
out from yours
Only to cast
their twinkle
All over my dark
canvas
And the sun smiles
yet again
To glow over
your frigid mind.

The water we
hold in our palms
Oozes out with
a hidden rainbow
From heavens
the hues descend
When your hand
touches mine
And our souls
mingle with breath
To cast an overlapping
grey shadow
Even as the sun
blazes to golden glow
Like your glowing
countenance
Dipped in the
pulchritudinous colors
The shade without
a blemish or scar
The day flows
from one hour to another
Much as your
cheek awaits my touch
Then dusk reflects
in your blush
Rubicund visage
lost in my efforts
Then you cover
your face with hand
The moon is lost
with surrounding raven
Only to hatch
dreams on the stage
My dreams overflow
with tinge of life
While life is
sketched with the dreamy brush.

I blossom like
a sidelined weed
On the margins
of your world
Yet my petals
are bright and lovely
Only if for once
an eye is cast
The way the meadow
is beheld
For who decides
what a weed is
These lines are
created by furrows
The soil is one
deep below
So is the sky
above us
And the pollinating
breeze
Hence regardless
of what they call me
I bask in the
joy of being

The droplets
drizzle from skies
It is dark sooner
than expected
The flap is lost
in the twilight
Which has dived
in the night
The sky is bereft
of moon tonight
Even as he peeps
into the cloud
The veil is unrelenting
and blind
The wing is confounded
amidst blur
Like a frantic
oar in the whirlpool
Desperate and
wayward in measure
Where is the
branch that was mine
With nascent
dreams hatched on tuft
Their chirp is
submerged in silent thunder
My plight when
you do not respond.

A capsized life
and you thought
I had drowned
in the murky waters
But life sprouted
within demise
You sprinkle
riches on the façade
While what is
stony within is parched
Bereft of what
supports the flora
But I remain
deep deep enough
To feed my drowsy
buds in cradle
Those who have
played in coffins
Find some means
forever to live.

Futile were my
words to you
For you never
cared to reply
My lyrics were
posted in air
As my heart sang
to streams
When my oar smudged
the reflection
The moon had
cast on the lake
You chose to
remain quiet
Then I saw the
face of moon
It touched me
by her silver shine
While the bubbles
burst silently
My oar pushed
waters with a sound
The breeze carried
sound of bank
There was an
echo from abstract
That spoke of
what I felt
And sang a silent
lyric of heart

I wish like a
calendula I
Would greet
a spring
With a nodding
dangle
After the gnawing
winter
Wraps up her
fury ;
I would face
the sun
With His own
reflection
As He assures
with a smile
That the frigid
times have thawed
And I trust Him
completely ;
I would spend
my life
That lasts just
a season
In the wait of
your breath
That would last
just a moment
But would stay
with me forever
Lighting your
path with my glitter
Only to carry
the seed withered within
In hope of another
clime sometime
When the shrouding
ice will melt
To launch the
sun in the sky
And smile again
in the furrow
