Wall of Tame

A moment in life

No soul seems dear

Entering tangible world

With baggage of solitude

 

No language and words

Only still presence

Seeing without eyes

Listening without reply

 

A deeply fixed wall

Devotee of our sight

Reading the questions

And embossing on itself

 

A slender nicotine stick

Burnt by every tear

Relieves the mind free

Lowering a bit of darkness

 

Everything surrenders

But they still run quickly

The thoughts that hide

In every alive nerve

The Dark Dream

At the dark hour

I stay awake

To see a crimson

Image of a story

Or a silhouette

Of my dream

That flows inside

Each and every stream

Of this kid heart

But Moon is absent

Just like the

Missing ray of hope

In my fantasy world

Where I breathe

Neither more nor less

Than 24hrs

And now, the heart

Shuts the door

For long and forever

As it lives between

Sunsets and sunrises

With no moonlight

Dreams mistaken it

And sleep forever

The stubborn dream

Of you and me

Ever-growing

Deviated from

The stage of life,

Afterlife

And now finally

It reaches

Permanent cessation

ll कसं हे प्रेम ll

ते अनोळखी प्रेम

जादूच्या छडीसारखा

तो नाजूक स्पर्श

हरवूनही हवा असणारा

ते निरागस डोळे

आपलच प्रेम जपणारं

तो दुरावलेला रस्ता

वधालातही जोडून ठेवणारा

ते एकत्र चालणं

शब्द नसूनही बोलणारे

तो सुसाट वारा

प्रेमाचा निरोप वाचणारा

निरोप....

" प्रेम हे प्रेमाच्या भावने पेक्षाही खोल असतं

समोर असूनही अदृश्य असतं

आणि...

अदृश्य नसूनही दिसत नसतं

 

शब्द हळूच भावनेच्या मांडीवर बसू लागतात

शब्द जागे असतात तेव्हा प्रेम झोपतं

आणि...

प्रेम जागं असतं तेव्हा शब्द झोपू लागतात "

"Desired Afterlife"

Unsure of what I have

I always fear losing it

 

Unsure of what I have

I make memories from it

 

Unsure of what I have

I associate things to it

 

Unsure of what I have

I give away tears for it

 

Unsure of what I have

I end up suffering insomnia

 

Unsure of what I have

I love it unlimited

 

Unsure of what I have

I still am happy for it

 

Unsure of what I have

I live for its existence

 

Unsure of what I have

I still hope in affirmation

 

Unsure of what I have

I somewhere feel sure about it

Countless Night

One winter night

Lying numb on the bed

Heart started crawling

To an undying flashback

 

A forever silent wall

Embossed a question

That the mind was chanting

Glowed in every moon ray

 

A helpless mind

Living in a volcanic anger

Starts hurting itself

By screams of retake

 

Desires of happiness

Stitches the heart intact

That is occasionally ripped

Due to love-hate conflict

 

A mat of affection

Flew from a small niche

Where I could see the shiver

Of a tiny heart hugging itself

 

A heart with a deep yearn

That grew without nurture

With time that's not known

The hunger for a warm embrace

 

Every stare in the sky

A strong hope for warmth

One Touch from the Almighty

And those lil eyes go wet

 

Just like the inner chill

The winter wore a robe of snow

Every vision turned blur

Similar to the living moment

 

Frozen feel everywhere

From the cold fingers of hand

To the scary cold beats of heart

All seemed itching and arid

 

In the book of destiny

Every detail gets recorded

Not a single sheet of paper

Illustrated the story of hope
