You did not speak up for me.
It was a ‘Sign’

You And I
Look at me and
You can see your heartbeat.
An eyeful inspection &
You can see your own dreams.
Peep through your own soul
And You’d find me.
I were you and you were me
Ever since the first gaze.
A rough draft of your future
Gained a foothold on my devotion
Our clumsy Gluttony fondness
Found each other with hungry keenness
Look for that appetite
And you’d find your own cravings.
Bare out the constraints &
You’d see an incredible acceptance,
An acknowledgement,
An approval
Of your melting wounds dying to be healed.
Look for that magical potion and
You’d find your sorcerer.
I’m the chalice of your conjured up magic
The magic which exists only between you and I.
Magic that bewitched us
Throwing us into an exquisite eternal maze
For I were you and you were me ….
Ever since the first gaze.
In search of Deep Slumber
“It’s ok grandma. I’ll be fine. You HAVE TO GO & rest now”
A cute little human presence gave respite to the soul
when her sudden demise disrupted her peace.
Materialistic Mayhem
Light appearing at end of the tunnel, I ran towards it blissfully.
Realization hit me eventually when it railroaded me skillfully.
Rotten thoughts, infected logics, even snatching the reins of ethics.
Obnoxious brains decaying goodness along with it’s robust magic
Couldn’t stand righteousness, these conniving creatures plotted schemes
Being one of an honest kind became their bitter distant dream
They struggled relentlessly to exterminate me like a pest,
But the Pearl already underwent her share of pain to be a glorious Gem.
Happy Diwali
One smile,
Two hands
Fed hundred mouths
Divine Light shone brighter
than any burning cracker could…
Happy Diwali Folks
Survival
Slaughtered,
Butchered,
Destroyed,
They tried hard but could never kill his poetry.
Survival– the road that seems almost invisible buried beneath thousand of layers of Hope.
The Pending Kiss
He kept pulling
her close,
Tempting to join him
she lurched
everytime she saw him.
Dancing Tides secretly
promising the Moon their pending kiss.
Risk that Fall
When life
puts you in a cage
Be a butterfly.
Flutter open your doors
Leaving a colorful imprints
In it’s hands.
Humans be like:
Man 1: Hey! I have been seeing you struggling for a long time. May I help.
Man 2 {beamingly} : Sure. Can you?
M1 : Certainly. I will see what I can do.
[M2 meanwhile struggles really hard and almost achieve his goal]
M1 {sarcastically} : You yourself have done a lot without my help. Why would you need me now anyway. Seems like you didn’t trust me enough.
M2 {genuinely} : No! No, Friend. I trusted you but I didn’t want to be all dependent on you. I HAD to make up the leeway to keep my pride. But truly I AM grateful to you for even offering help in my hard times. I will always appreciate that. Thanks and do let me know if could be of any help to you. I would love to be.
{Smilingly, he walks away}
M1 {To himself} : YOU!!! YOU WILL HELP ME?
Yeah! Blow your own trumpet now. Disgraceful fellows. Why would ask for help anyway. I don’t understand how did he manage it himself to come up to this level. Totally unbelievable. I am sure somebody would have backed him up and that snobbish liar isn’t telling me the name. No one can struggle that much. I know I couldn’t in my past. Everyone needs a lifting hand. I was waiting for him to flatter me but NO. He didn’t even charm me enough, didn’t buy me any gifts and yet I was ready to help him. Why should I? and that too for free?
Well! Now I am gonna see how far can he go on his own. I am going to set zillions of roadblock in all his assignments, might even snatch away his supporters. I will not let him accomplish anything and then I will see how he doesn’t come up to me crawling and begging to be helped.
