The Message

What does it mean,when you are finally happy, then it’s all mercilessly taken away,

What’s the universe saying when all you hear is the language of disappointment,

What’s the reason they give,when the bright colours turn all blue and grey

What’s that bitter pill that you have to swallow as was prescribed by doctor nature

What do you efforts don’t count, there’s nothing to show
for it just, wasted time

They say, listen, there’s a message.

But what do you do when you listen and listen but don’t hear the message?

Is the universe talking or are you just on a bad luck trip?

So Much To Say

Did I tell you of my day?

Yes? No? Well, I’ve so much to say

See how I was afraid to die,

Today I thought to try

Face my fears right in the face

And oh! That I did with utmost grace!

You would be proud of me!

Aha, remember my puppy

The one that is never grumpy?

Well, she learnt to bark at strangers

Damn!Who taught her about the dangers

That lurk with every new face that comes in

Yet, she remains jolly with the people within

Ah you’d be so amazed by this!

Wait wait, today I met with happy people

My sister, her husband ,their kids,so special

How warm it was to be in their company

We talked and laughed and ate

So much love, laughter, joy, I had missed them

Wish you were there to be part of this memory

There’s so much to say,lots to tell you…..

This Feels Right

I’ve seen beautiful sunsets, on the golden horizon, with patches of pink and blue

I’ve seen the gorgeous sky, lit by the moon it it’s full glory, sprinkled with a million shimmering stars

I’ve seen the splendor of the waterfalls, flowing, falling with might making rainbows

I’ve seen majestic mountains ruling the land,needing no announcement of their existence

Life is beautiful, just as God made it,and I’ve seen and experienced it all.

I’ve been loved by kings and paupers alike

I’ve lived like royalty

I’ve felt the piercing pain,the stab of a heartbreak

Maybe more than I should have

I’ve lived and died, I’ve risen from the ashes like the Phoenix

But life is still beautiful,like God wants me to experience it

So don’t tell me that when you say you need me, or long for me,its a bluff

Or that when in the still morning moments when your heart reaches for me, it’s a mirage

Because I’ve lived long enough, I’ve tasted life,the bitter and sweet

I know what’s real,what’s not,I heard your heart call

And when I answered,I knew it was right

Because it felt so beautiful, so pure, so right,just as God intended it to be

So instead of banishing me into the oblivion, vanquish the demons of your past

Then set yourself free to live the best days of your life.

My Wish

On this clear calm night,

I wish upon the shimmering star

You and I sitted at the rooftop

Wine bottle in hand, cigarette on another

A swig here,a puff there

The whole world is quiet

Save for the sound of my loud laugh

When you tell me about the one time

You made a complete jester of yourself

How I wish the moment never ends

Daylight drives away the dark

And as the sun in its majesty wakes the world

I wish upon the sunrise,

To let you in on that one time

I was in a duel

With my kindergarten teacher

Over my untidy work

Caught her by surprise

But again I was a little chunk of energy

Then watch your bewildered look…

It’s a story you’d love

And when the sun and rain

Compete for dominance,

I wish upon the rainbow that paints the sky

That one day

I’ll reveal my secrets, my dreams, my Hope’s

My ambitions, My craziness my weaknesses

And you’ll tell me about your achievements,

Your ambitions, your desires,your plans

And there will be no judgment,

No embarrassment

No fears

Just two souls,bonding.

Till then, I’ll keep wishing

Maybe tonight,

I’ll dream it.

Goodnight,my wish.

Someday Maybe

My brain dances,
To the melody,
Of chaos and madness

My heart pounds,
To the rhythm,
Of mundane and sadness

My dreams die
To the stab
Of swords I carry

And I carry on
Like the stubborn time
That no man can stop

Yet when the world asks
Why I dare dwell in insanity

I say,
The cloth I’m cut of
is different.
The path I walk is mine alone.
The load I bear is part of me.
My fate was written long before.

So to be like other earthlings
Is not my cup

Not now,
But Someday Maybe.
