Atramentous storms!


The day has quit, the darkness reigns
Calm as death, I’m standing still
You fill your pen with ink, I fill mine in blood
The truth is overrated, Conspiracy is a creed
Shadows move in and out, Death is delusional,
Nothing remains on the other end, nor this,
Lamenting is a cliché, Numbed are hurts!
Yes! My pages bear scars enough, 
Of depths oblivious be you,
For, in demented oblivion you dwell.
Aware are you of who you’ve fostered?  
Broken quill feeds better, did you know?
And so you’ve raised a predator in me,
The one that waits, and waits for the kill.
For, there hasn’t been another thirst known,
Only of blood and that alone!

The endless symphony...


In the Deserted dreams,
Heaps of hopes lay crushed
In the cluster of stars,
Not one falls in for an agreement
While a decision is being made for me,
I lay handcuffed.
Was that a door of hope?,
Fall forth, the iron curtains.
I'm lost,
In the labyrinth of your love
I'm stuck,
In the shackles of your desires.
I've waited with a steadfast will,
Caught between dreams and despair
A hopeless hope,
And my heart sinks in truth.
It's just another name after all
Or a salutary pain? 
A fancy I've let grow,
A thirst tarries, and the silent screams..
I toss and turn in sleep
Your premonition and I sigh!
Do I retire or let play
The forbode game of light and shadow?
In a blink I clutch, in another retreat. 
A conflagration rises,
And the storms to ease
Fast falling tears and a melancholic symphony,
I pray for the strength to greet my destiny.

STAY!


A symphony in the background
A reminder from the heavens,
‘You asked for intimate moments, here I give!’
A satisfying silence,
The roads often traversed, now defined
With a memory new, a fragrance ingrained
Some words, a chuckle and a naughty mockery
Swept by the tempest of love,
I’m a merry go, you are a drug
One look in the eyes and I’m high as a kite
For today, contemplation I’d do away.
Today, cloudy contingency I’d over look
This day, conflicting controls, I've set free
Another look, I’m canonized
The rustling leaves, the rustic dreams,
A long hoped day, a distant wish met reality
You envelope me, I’m owned and the day seized.
I know not of what tomorrow brings,
Or takes away…
Of what I know, this, you, me, the magic will stay!

Defenceless Atheism.

Castles in dust do mix
That once was called a home
Dreams soak a little
In the unmet material possibility
The roads have shed a tear or two
They say, they’d fancy duality
Certain corners have echoed laughs
They seek for eternity
The wind had played havoc then,
Doesn’t it now!
Give my message to your master, shall you?
I shall never believe your sire.
He calls himself the master of lands
And, looks upon us with indifference fierce
As unfair as life charted to be,
Why with the people we love and fear?

I wrote to thee!


On the fogged window I wrote to thee
Of the unspoken words of love's entry
Even when rains wash the scrawled pane
A song, a story, simple and plain
Some fall day you shall see
That my love wasn't a timed story
But as boundless as the ocean
As timeless as eternity be

In my griffonage, I wrote to thee
While lips lie sealed, but eyes whispered for you to see
A muffled smile, damask'd me.
A sunset behind, florets blushed a coral glee
A shadow, the two, a silent walk
An unsigned vow, a quiet promise, and the birds' flock

Grateful heavens, I wrote to thee,
A wordless wish, a dandelion set free
The stare of silence, boundaries a blur
A new moon dawns, unreal azure
Some stills inscribed, a magical composure
Time ticked by to a reassuring closure.

I tore myself away from the place
A treasured fragrance, of him I trace
To keep sake of him from there on,
And to savour by when he was gone
Flanked by trees, some hopeful while
I turned to see, memories smile.

Given to uncertainty, you may never see,
I always will, I wrote to thee!
