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! 


Penned on- 22 Sept, 2012.

I barter you with this ink!

This thing that dances,

At the brink of my lips

Sometimes it flashes blatantly in my eyes  

Until it’s vanquished, from the hush of my lies

And then it seeks, asking for words,

To melt into lines and embrace my voice,

But, the only distance they could travel was a blank sheet…

I apportion you with this paper,

I barter you with this ink

And, all there is and all there will be,

All the bottled wishes and engraved memories,

All that I know, all that I feel,

Every letter silenced with fright,

The world of words that I cannot summon

The lines that found refuge, in hiding

And the carriage of it has sought anonymity

I apportion you with this paper,

I barter you with this ink,

Do not call me a coward,

To have chosen inscription over voice,

For, voice can be buried beneath ignorance,

Or shushed by a lethal rejection,

Or be hushed by cacophony.

While to indite, is forever beyond

To ink, is to bestay for infinity!

So I apportion you with this paper,

I barter you with this ink!

Replaced!

Nightmares replace dreams,

Loss substitutes for love,

Yours isn't yours, never was.

The dispute perhaps is, denial.

The winter snubs summer in the end,

The flowers are to freeze and wither,

We will meet again at the fate’s gate with no choice

Everything in the living world- Is Replaceable. Everybody!

The world’s a comedy, a dark comedy

You are its muse!

All I did was stood in silence!

The midnight dressed a shameful black,

When the little girl, chased and attacked

The hideous men that feasted on her

Her tiny eyes, lost in a blur

The little pink frock shred and slit                                         

Her pale body, used, reused and quit.

Was it a rife, violated innocence

While all I did was stood in silence.

A country wed to corruption,

With no hope of redemption,

A land I called my own,

Only in words and flown

Nature and her children, in pollution drown

As routine as night and day, lives are burnt or blown

A motherland soaked in violence

While all I did was stood in silence

They were young, they we smitten

By the love bug they were bitten,

 They belonged to different worlds, people hurled

And so were they hunt down, found in a blood whirl

With confidence I’d write of love, its power and presence

But all I did was stood in silence

Roads were a home, pavements the bed

With ten coins, their little tummies they’d fed

Then they wished another day never dawned

For, survival was a hope long withdrawn

They lived in scant, I frowned even in abundance

Cause, all I did was stood in silence

To someone, the world was a burial ground

To someone, life is a terrifying hound,

To someone, home is a word unknown

To someone only family is lone

To someone, food is that is thrown

To someone, God has been just a stone

What do I care of, absence or presence!

For all I did was stood in silence…

Let me be!

Every time the chase knocked a dead end,
A little window did open
Confiding in it to renew hope
Broken spirits I did attend

Now no window, nor door obliges
Only the towering walls that resonate
When one not can, forge and undo
The love ,the feelings- the damage’s done!

And in disguise two options destiny confers
To vault into the seas by choice, by will
Or to dance on the deck of a burning ship
Either which way, vanquish rightfully I own

I’ve sailed too far now to anchor a turn
To do away with pain, to make amends
Washed away in blood and in rain
So much that I feel pleasure in pain

Either which way, I belong in the sea...
Not do I need your help, so let me be!

And, there by hangs a tale!

To the stars did prayers reach, of the life undone
In the times she pushed, with silence alone
Being denied of what she rightfully owned
A name, a tale, a mark shall unfailingly hound

In darkness was her quest for light
With destiny and desires, too small a plight
In storms did she seek peace
In the hope that rains shall ease
She numbered heart beats in his wait
The path that led to the closed gate

With a life of dreams, too filled for a space
For her, layered diplomacy a sweet grace
He denied, dismissed, set her heart ablaze
She fled, in the routes unknown, into a maze

Harboured a heart, hurt beyond repair
Wicked schemes did mortality prepare
With reality could she make amends?
Of happiness, love, hope pretence

Seemed a storm raised in his heart too
Set to follow his heart or any clue
In her griffonage, he did see,
She could play with destiny by setting him free

To announce his love, he did reach
To swing her in his arms he did reach
But love concealed, be love belied
The love adjourned, be love denied

Nothing left to last forever
Death's mortal hands were clever
Her wait were to end for final
She slept a sleep eternal

His routes took too long a time
None could awaken, nor love nor hymn
She lay pale and cold,
Silent lips, confessions untold

In confidence he had denied of love
Now he begs, to the one above
To love he did surrender
But dead shall rise up never

The feelings too late to unfold
The love remained a story untold.
Her love, he'd never know
His love, he could never show

And in veil, there by hangs a tale!








PS Tell your loved ones you love them before it's too late! :)
