THE MISSING 'I'

THE MISSING -I.

I am missing 'I', I am looking for 'I',
'I' may be lost some years back, still here 'I';
Will come to me one more time
If -'I', will give it- a try.
Am’ wondering why ‘I’ can’t recognize me;
Have ‘I’ changed from what ‘I’ used to be?
Perhaps! ‘I’ had a Melody, a Magic, a Mystery;
Oozed away with tears, ‘I’ have lost;
Just one flash, one spark,
Will find me from the dark.
And then –
It’s all again-Same.
Same as ‘I’ was when ‘I’ smiled
As sweet as ‘I’ sang
Like ‘I’ dreamt and like ‘I’ glistened
With every shine of sun and in every glow of Lune
Engulfed, encircled, enlivened with ‘I’.
Unfolding thoughts reminds me of ‘I’;
Longing for long, to see thee
Awaiting I-,
I that promised me to BE.

BREATHING ONCE AGAIN

BREATHING ONCE AGAIN

Changing its meaning Life comes to me now;
Kills me at every breath, kills me somehow.
Trivial it is- what you might say,
Yes you touched my heart;
Like Darkness is touched by the Eternal ray.
Enlivened my soul with a trance,
You have handcuffed my sense;
Set an aura on me to mesmerize.
They say, they read it on my face;
Which you can’t see it in my eyes.
Brewing within me whatever is true
Hew my heart into pieces to see through
Blood not I have, for it is now vanquished
By unchanging new feel that’s changing my hue
Shiver not when you’ll find in it
Someone you’d known; someone like you.
Thus when you’ll kill me such,
Fear not, I would not be dead.
I’ll rather dwell in your heart
Than too breathe once again.

LANTERN IN THE DARK

LANTERN IN THE DARK

Grieving and mourning, I spent too many days,
I counted the hours with eye–droplets.
Feeble was I and muffled with dismay,
Enough I had, enough this way.
But now I woke up, yawing too late,
To lit up the lantern, to start a new day.

What to fear now?
Since the worst has passed by;
I have to show them all,
That I too can -Survive.
Those who have discoloured my picture,
This light of my lantern, will again make it clear.

Time yet –will return again
As still the earth’s turning;
Not have I, all forgotten
As growing is my revenge within.
Laugh not at me, for sparks are still hidden;
Tiny glitters of lantern, will ablaze all in seconds.

Hardening my soul, I’ve killed innocence,
Sin within is bitter, than heart of vengeance.
Near is the hour, when you’ll repent.
HE’s seen so far, will see it till the end.
Dark is the path and dark are the lanes,
With lantern in hand I’ll cover all the pains.

SILENT VERSES

SILENT VERSES


I tore too many pages
Of those silent verses.
Few of which I remembered,
And rest-I buried;
So that one can’t see and none can read.


Fear struck me first;
If truth is what, I am to disclose;
Fold these all, before it shows.
Thus no one knows, what I wrote
Simple thoughts that I begot.


What better way than a poetry
To express things in mystery,
Thought I, and started to write.
Yet my lines still so simple,
And still unrhymed.
Know not I how it feels
To read such lines of my kind.


Seeking for such affections
I've started walking hereby;
Unknown lanes, unknown wayside
Thus I stepped inside.
Fill me up with imagination
Fill me up with emotion.
Make me not immortal
But make my lines eternal.

ONLY IF I COULD STOP YOU FROM GOING SO FAR

ONLY IF I COULD STOP YOU FROM GOING SO FAR


Only if I could stop you from going so far,
As you will leave I’ll sit and stare
At you - like a helpless child.
Lost in the dark, dumb and blind.
Wiping my smudged tear I’ll stand there.
Only if I could stop you from going so far.

My sight will now be blurred,
With mind losing its strength
To reason and to question.
But feelings yet unbarred , as ere.
My nerves will be numb then,
Only if I could stop you from going so far.

Like shackles stiffening my hands
Lump in my throat will make me suffocate
Torn as a leaf unclaimed lands;
Here I’ll stand- as long as you’ll go away dear;
As long as you will fade.
Only if I could stop you from going so far.

Broken dreams and broken all of that
Whatever beats inside again and again,
With the ticking of time, will keep these intact.
Do you not listen to my heart? Can’t you hear?
I know you have not forgotten- then why?
You’re going away and I can’t stop you from going so far.

NAMELESS LAND

NAMELESS LAND


Drive me, drive me away
To that nameless land
Where differences evaporate
And we walk, hand in hand

Make me fly; and fly me higher
As birds cross the tall barrier
Never feeling, that those were there
So do I living here, feel - If I to were?


Burn the castles, burn them like the fire does;
All the towers painted with lust,
And worms of hatred, crawling on the dust;
For the venom of pain can never touch us.


Wake me and wake me up to see,
When these were done, for you and me.
Then would I look at you and time will cease,
Tis’when words will not be , but eyes will speak.

SPEAKING TO HEART

SPEAKING TO HEART

Words are like my friends
Never they leave my mind.
Talking to mind, I often stop to find
How would have been I ?
If speaking to heart was’nt my art;
Mere structure of a broken stone,
Left alone – to die !
True it is, we are alone,
Never did I have someone
To call my own
Such winds have come and gone
None but my words
Stood there to console
When I was wild with the grumbling storm
Or battered by the bitter cold ,
Sheded tears as summer perspires,
All were their too tired to share,
But still said – “We care.”
Only these words of my heart had lent me an ear
Told me-“ Pour in what u feel,I am not any stranger,
You are my image and I am your mirror.”
