Black [labelled] Comedy

"Jokes apart

Life still remains

A black comedy

 

People we meet

Few already are dear

Act as stand-up comedian

 

Either we or they

Impact everywhere

Results into laughter

 

Laughter so loud

Right from the heart

Wetting eyes instantly"

-- Tanvi D

...knocking surprises...

Knocking the destiny

Those words

I never wished for

Myself and for

Anybody.

Making me numb

And tender

That is surprising

Every part

Of the blank me.

Hiding those tears

My hearts eyes

Fear of expression

Covers my soul

Protecting my emotions

That took a major toll.

Every inch of hope

Cling too close to breathe

Irrespective of

Being ignored

By unfortunate events.

Now, there is nothing

To lose

Memories sit in my crypt

Breathing peace

Yet, there is no win.

A life sketched so long

Equally filled with

Unlimited and undying

Remembrances of

The history of assumed

 Togetherness.

-- Tanvi D

"Discovering Life"

 Arrived on this planet

With GoD's grace and make

A soul filled with love

For everyone to take

 

A temper not known to the Sun

Was paired with a weak heart

Always swam in bad phase

As good was not welcomed

 

The soul was in deep pain

As love also wore horns

Nothing seemed dear to it

As millions scar had taken over

 

Wondering about conspiracy of life

And its purpose of existence

No road can be identified

Desires look unfamiliar to them

 

The uncertainty of this coin

One side reflects ardor and hope

Flipside shows strange face of guardian

A blend seasoned with questions

 

Certain aspirations have half life

And some are past avatar mandates

Forced upon our questioned destiny     

Resulting to some definite incompleteness

 

Standing in the world of possibilities

Knowing the departure point of each

Still juggling self with every chance

And wandering in the waves of negation

 

Unlocking and locking frequently

Swiftly moving every phase of phases

Heading towards the popular end

With a bits of desire and fear

-- Tanvi D

"Despaired Reality"

Crossing almost half-life
Without knowing when it ends
I sit wondering almost daily
A default question of cessation

With nil percent of fear
I wait to open the gate of afterlife
Not knowing hell or heaven
But assuring emancipation

Dear pals want to debate
The disturbing thought of exit
Speculating about my scars
That in itself is mystery

Life, an ongoing quest
Breathes nothing but desires
Those pure fortunate moments
Turning into unfortunate ends

Knowing this doomed reality
And ignoring its existence
I turn my heart towards Almighty
With wetting every arid corner

Feeling of ignorance stemmed
Consecutive smashing of doors
Develops a doubt about destiny
Considered as a gift by everyone

Reaching a step on the ladder
Where anger overtakes hope
With immeasurable darkness
Hiding the leftover inner glare

An irritating immortal hope
Makes me smile for a moment
And shed tears in the next one
Confusion at its peak spot

Flickering faith on possibilities
Developing an intense dispute
Hearts ignition and mental pause
Dividing & ripping off every yearning

Sudden birth of fortitude
Standing with absolute zest
In stillness of immortal desires
Smiling over destined solitude

Living under the tree of memoirs
Coating all over in its warmth
Waiting to embrace the end
Wishing for a better revival

...an insight...

A truth that sleeps within

And keeps talking to us

also listens to us

Tries to convince us

To let it free

But our nut-size heart

The poor sufferer

Has to go through

What the eyes see

And what the ears listen

Different perceptions of truth

Truth, a stubborn kid

And glowing innocence

Not willing to compromise

A cocktail of stress

Filling a huge pitcher

Called Life

 

-- Tanvi D

...sometimes...

 

Sometimes

Silence scares

Words are scars

Love that we care

Is considered as

Torturous to bear

Who should we spare?

The one in despair

Or those who are

Not worth the tear

Love is perplex

Making all complex

Wise are those

Standing on toes

With a beautiful rose

Even in their woes

-- Tanvi D

...mirror image...

She notices herself

In the mirror, but

This time it's her blindness

 

Strange blindness

Courtesy cold feet

And a shivering heart

 

A heart that is haunted

By warm memories

And bitter realities

 

One ache led into other

As she pricked

One of her dear vein

 

A vein that knew

Nothing

But living in peace

-- Tanvi D

Only You !!

There you are

Again

Whirling in my

Dreams

A lil at dawn, a lil at dusk

A lil in everyday

A scent

That you spread

Runs along every

Nerve

Dipping each of them

In the potion

Of love and

Passion

The spark of your eyes

Is still with me

In the ecstatic

Moonlight

It hallucinates

My mind

With our warms moments

Breathing

Just like a new born

Pure and untouched

Just out of the womb.

But unlike the

New soul

Our memories

Never grew together

But I know that

It's grown to some sort

In me

I am waiting

To hug you

Which you know

I never did.

I am missing

That deep breath

Of yours

Seeping through me

That hush-like sound

Still echoes.

The way you held

My hand

Nobody ever did that

To me

Nobody kissed me

But you

Nobody heard me

But you

Those silent moments

Of you, me and

That bench

In the woods

It's only you who

Gave me

And now I am

Addicted and crippled

That those memories

Have turned past

With no hint

Of re-entering

Now, every night

I start breathing you

Every thought

Losing direction in sync

Only weeps your absence.

-- Tanvi D

Talking Woods

Woods are silent

And so are the

Moments shared

Between us.

 

They quietly seep in

The silence flying

Within the distance of

Our separation.

 

Memories created of

That ecstatic laughter

Makes me smile even

In this undesired absence.

 

The innocent heart

Nailed those memories

And failed to get over

Ending up in a whimper

 

Years pass by like

A non-working clock

But emotions double up

With immeasurable pace.

 

Hope seems to be

The reason and solution

For the formation and

Destruction of this mess.
