Believe. Not!

Here where the ties die too fast

They say, only a fool believes, love will last

While destiny has a weird fashion

Everything withers, men and their passion

Here where dead dreams reign the kingdom

To bind love to last forever, well seldom

What worth is worth of a chained freedom?

Light at the tunnel's end to see

Arrested by hope one shall be!

Here where substance deeply slumber

Two names remain tied not too longer

Love's a fool's errand I wonder!

For happiness sought in wrong spaces to linger.

For all the things said and done,

Though all the hatred, the blood and bone

I look for a perennial bond of passion

In the quest of that uncommon fraction,

Is it a hunt for self-destruction to bend?

Or a voyage embarked for the immortal blend.

Be loved and to love

Perhaps the verdict of the stars above.

To do is your duty, high or low

The receipts shall or shan't follow.

Thus all that accounts

To nothing that counts,

So long as you love...

As long as you love...

No liar!

Of what remains,

I’d gather stones

Of what is left,

I’d build a home

Of all, that still stand by,

I’d bind a family

Out of the dying feelings,

In you, I’d try and find an ally

Of all my ink smeared pages,

I’d feed the hungry fire

Of your silences and sweet deceits,

My pen is not a liar!

Like that, life goes on!

I like this girl that she’s come to become

So full of hatred in her eyes,

Failure, she’ll never be.

For nothing is at stake to lose,

She thought.

Until, she was invited to see,

It wasn't all black and white after all.

Never is.

Love was never on her side

She never found it in her to lament

Stars, she never looks up above for anymore

Certain places, she wouldn’t dare traverse

Some stills, she prays she’ll never stumble upon

One face she will love, with no choice

One truth, she can never change

One wish, that’ll never come true

Questions that’ll stand unanswered

Silence, she won’t bring herself to terms with

But through days she breathes along

And that’s how life goes on!

Dark and Cold.

So,

When the sun has left you

To your plight,

In the darkness to dwell forth;

To some place,

To some part of the world,

He gives all his warmth.

Sometimes,

When you’ve given yourself away,

Into the darkness…

-Choiceless or out of free will

Even  the presence,

Of his warm bright light

Would do no difference.

It’s still a world without the sun-

Dark and Cold.

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!
