Yellowish pictures, dark spots
unruly hair, rustic clothes
holding hands, running away
stopping somewhere, in the way
to catch some breadth
sitting down, sipping coffee
reading books with yellow pages
crying hard, smiling gently
stargazing, dreaming profoundly
riding a bike, passing the trees
Glistening river water
in the morning breeze
and from the trees plucking apples
sleeping in shade, heads on the shoulder.
Poetry and Life
Short poems about life, nature, feelings, love and philosophy.

Beauty and the Unbeautiful
Going on the same road everyday
Looking at the same things.
Same regular banal scenes
Dirty roads, dusty pavements.
Heaps of garbage, filled with litters.
My eyes wander in search of beauty,
but unable to find any.
In such a miserable world,
my only solace is you,
The only beauty, only source of peace.
The calmness of my eyes, after witnessing
the savagery of the people.
Remain same, my love, through all times,
inspire me and my incipient rhymes.

If I stand up and walk
So, what if I stand up and walk right now,
What's stopping me?
Am I a chained gladiator bound to fight and suffer,
And be a means of amusement to others?
Am I cursed to push a boulder
To the top of a mountain?
No, I am free, free as high flying falcon
Free as the king of the jungle
Ready to rush on my own will.
I'll not sit here anymore,
Holding my head in my hands, sobbing.
I will not bother to think how I look,
In the thoughts of somebody.
So if I just stand up and walk
Nobody would stop me.
I just have to walk.

in the corner of the room
I sit in the corner of a café room
Like an obscure little thing
Which has no use in this crippled world.
A room full of worthy and elite people
Has me in its corner like a tumor
In Ares' mighty body, making it
Adverse to fight more wars,
Or like the weakness in Achilles' foot
Which got him killed.
I sit there meaningless as ever
Staring into melancholic void,
Thinking about ways to get me away
From the age long suffering of this world.
While the God of Death
Sees me from sky and smile
On the futility of my thought.

rain is not my enemy
Rain is not my enemy,
it is not my friend either.
Rain is like that long forgotten memory,
which scathe my wounds even deep.
Its like that old friend that tells you,
what happened to your girl back home,
and you sink in deep trenches of dolor.
No, rain is not my friend or foe,
Its just that the sound of each falling
perfectly round shaped water droplets,
reminds of a piece of me which,
I left at home.
So, I pray it to rain,
Not because I have disdain for the sun
But I like to scratch my wounds more
So that I keep myself mindful
Of what I once had and now I have not.
But still rain is not my friend
But I don't hate it either.

turning sides in lonely night
Turning sides in bed is a new normal
I don't force myself to sleep now
Had done it million times already
Efforts of sleeping get wasted
Night by night in the black nothingness.
Of course this was not like this,
When we used to sleep side by side.
But it started after your going away that
My chest misses the tickle of your fingers
My hair miss the strokes
Of your sweet hands.
My cheeks and lips miss
The soft kisses if your lips.
Laying in bed, thinking of you
The night walks all way with me,
And my thoughts of you.
In morning I beg forgiveness to your reminisce,
I preserve the eternal requiem of yours
For the coming night.

blazing loneliness
Something at me stares fast,
which leaves me in fear and aghast
It tends to harm me,
it sometimes threatens me
I live in my life in terror.
It follows me wherever I go,
It imitates whatever I do,
It often looks at my body,
with eyes red and glance shady.
I run back home with fear
it shoots me with whetted spear.
I fall down and I scream,
waking up I realise, it was my dream.
I contemplate what had me chasing,
it was nothing but my loneliness blazing.
