One Fine Life

I woke up with a breeze knocking at my window,
I woke up to the sun, sending a ray of hay aglow,

My feet crawled me to the open hands of the clouds,
Where the morning stood smiling, with the chirping sounds,

A breeze came along yet again to brush my hair,
While the rose perched proudly, upon the stem of a leafy pair,

The dew was lying on the velvety red petal,
The soft earth, waiting its return to the warm natal,

I finally took myself into my own senses,
and drifted to a life that was unlike the morning, cribbed with stenches,

But life this beautiful should not hold you back,
to take a step ahead, and finally unhook fate's rigid backpack,

Life is about those feathery white clouds,
Life is about earths' scented mounds,
Life is about the crawling of dew drops,
Life is about those smiling golden crops.

I Dream

The violins string in my ears each night,
As I meet you under a star studded night,
when I seamlessly fall into dreams,
Where the small piece of moon is flowing like streams,

You meet me there every night,
As I meet you only in my dreams every night,
You hold my hand, you hold me in your sight,
You walk ahead my path, you take me away into the flowing light,

I have heard you speak your heart out,
I have heard you walk towards me, like love splashing from a pout,
I have felt your words through the winds flight,
I have felt your warmth, when you hold me with love's might,

But I have felt you leave my side every night,
I have felt my dreams fade into reality every single night,
I have heard my heart beat alone with a solitary plight,
I have woken up every morning rushing into reality with a fight,

And I still wish to love you more by each passing day,
I still promise my heart to dream of you each passing day,
I still wish you all the happiness, even though u stand on someone else's side,
I still promise just dreaming you, without any quests to abide.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan- Rewrite

The zest of your starlit eyes,
The sound of your mischievous laughter,
The twists of your black strands past the breeze,
I shall breathe, I shall dream,

That splash of raindrops on your lips, your hands,
That impatient tear, sliding past your dimpled cheek,
Those fake fits of anger,
Those blunt threats of fists and fights,
Shall beat within my heart,
until the my veins throb,
 until my words tremble,

The sliding of your  hand out of mine,
The parting of your shadow, and sliding apart with the light,
The aimless wait for your back to turn,
The constant urge for your feet to stop before the next turn,
I shall remember, I shall blame,

For all those lies and broken promises,
For all those dreams that burned into ash,
For all those half heartened prayers,
I shall bereave,
 till my chest heaves,
till my eyes gaze,
 till my nights dream,
till my soul begs.....

One Such Sunset

You stormed out,
But you're words willfully held back,
you took away all your promises and leaped out of 'us',
While I stood in silence as your eyes no more looked into  mine;
As your words struck deeper ,

One morning I woke up and found an empty space,
It was within me, and it throbbed with excruciating pain,

Without you, within me,
It felt like I was screaming, loud and shrill,
It felt like I was bleeding tears,
It felt like the world had abandoned me,
All the feelings locked within my cold trembling hands,
hollow eyes, and crisp dry lips,

I was rushing past places.... people....... myself
like an abandoned piece of paper flying down the road,

I was no more mine, I had been your's once,
I was no more living, I was a scattered hope of existence,

I am still standing there, right where you abandoned me,
I am staring at the floor that bid you farewell when I couldn't,
I am standing under one such sun splattered evening,
I am standing alone, looking at one such sunset.

A Traveler's Confession

Your rails, my ways,
Your wheels, my speeds,
Your trees, my greens,
Your wind,my sting,
Your rain, my gain,
Your drops, my crops,
Your clouds, my shadows,
Your lanes, my cranes,
Your field ,my scenes,
Your farms, my charms,
Your ponds ,my swans,
Your streams, my dreams,
These lives, are strides,
My life, confides,
Without your's, mines' lost,
Mines' alive, on your's cost

Who do I trust, and whom should I pry?

Who do I trust, and  whom should I pry?

Who should be my call, when my lips tremble dry?

Who should I rely upon,for the saddest day of my life?

Who should be by my side, when  life’s the pinpoint of a knife?

Who should hold me with strength ?

Who should walk along my life’s length?

Who should cry on my stiffened body, and cold blood?

Who should remember me , from the scent of soil, and a mystifying bud?

I know the one who should; but I know he wont ,

I know just,the bliss of dreams , desires just my own,

I know the brittle mirror of reality, where he resides,

I know I walk the ray of sunlight, when I should follow the cosmic tides.
