Poetry Galore... Sore

Like a dream I go on
Undeterred, un-beknown.
Like souls after darkness falls
Like a lace, on a bloom forlorn
Like me- Like you
Filthy flimsy-ly
Like joy, win moon
Deeply toying
With a prophecy.
Once again it was
Date.
Except that the year had changed
By two digits...
He looked up
And saw.
A lady so pretty
Peaches all raw.
“Jacob”, called his friends
He turned.
Food all around
Christmas all tight.
Like a flickering light she was there
And the next moment
Gone.
He searched the spot
The bag was still there,
Though peaches all gone.
The music all played
People all gay.
He stirred his soup
Deciding not to stay.
Excuses galore
He made to the door,
Stepping outside
Took in air all pure.
Softly smiling, sidewalks unexplored
She looked up, she was still there
Had stepped out, rhythmic shore.

Laughter abound...
Joy so sound;
I hear the drops...
Platter platter.
Clouds all around...
Black magic profound;
I hear the shrieks...
Batter batter.
A smug shrug...
It’s Just a bug;
Laugh it off...
But don’t scoff.
Like a breeze I flutter
Hence and Forth
Twitter twitter
Am I a butterfly...?
Am I a bird?
Not that it matters
A puzzle I behold.
A drowned wish here
A star out there.
‘Meelon ke faasle’
Yet it’s ALL somewhere (?)
Would you,
Would we?
Ofcourse yes
We will.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like the tides of an ocean
You rise and fall.
Touching the Zenith,
Then drooping low.
I wonder aloud...
Is that’s the fault?
Life was like a song,
And then came this moment
Like a whooping gush,
Everything went by.
Hold me, console me,
Or I might just die
Alternatively let me go...
At least I’ll be able to
GIVE IT A TRY.
It’s all coming back,
It’s all too repetitive.
How far will it go?
For once, I’m contemplative.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My smiles are less than before
Why am I less so?
My persona has changed over lot
It’s not what I want.
I look up, O Heavenly Father
I kneel before you, Mary Mother.
Grant me the freedom
Liberate me
Make it all peaceful
Joyous me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dandelions
On the pavement;
Alone, a lore
Windy
And sunny;
Looks all milky.
Flap flap flap,
No road blocks on my way.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like walking in a memory lane
Trees shedding golden leaves.
I look ahead.
(Am) beginning to dream.
Now That:
However, forever
However, for a dawn.
It’s a game
All tamed.
Soon to be
Through the pain.

I wish I could give myself
All memories lost.
I wish I were untold
If that’s what.
I wish I were untold
If that’s what.
I wish I had a garden to myself
Flowers all... Unlocked.
If only if only
Never only.
If only once only
Glory
Wholly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dil ek humara bhi hai,
Khushiyon se naata bhi hai
Shaayad khud se hi nibhta nahin
Bhool paana ab khud mein ek naata hai.
Zindagi atak si gayee hai
‘Kehne ke dhang’ pe.
Kuchch atak sa jaata hai,
Kahein na agar hum
‘Sambhal ke’.
Bhool jaane do ab
Kiye huey jatnon ko.
Dete hain hum apna vyaktitva
Ab aane waala sangharsh ko...
Poochna mat, mat jataana
Par lene do,
Mera keemti aashiyaana.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yoon dil mein basey ho aap sab, ki kya bataayein
Gar shabdon mein bhandhney ki koshish karein;
To kahin dokha na kha jaayein.
Nursery se lekar 12th tak
Chaaha bhi aapko, sataaya bhi aapko.
Ik pal mein sab chorhkar
Hum kaise chaley jaayein?
Woh chhoti chhoti baatein, woh lambi lambi daantein
Woh chotemote jhagre, woh karaarey karaarey chantey
Woh stage par aakar nervous hona
Woh chori chupe cheating karna.
Mat poochna humse ki school life kaisi thi
Mat poochna humse ki school life kaisi thi
14 saal maano 14 janmon ki kahaani thi.
Hum jo hain aapne banaaya hai
Zindagi se muhabbat karna sikhaaya hai.
Yeh Hall humara, woh ground humara
Yeh stage humara, yeh mike humara
Classroom humara, pyaara staff humara
Jeeta rahe sada... Convent humara.
Bharha charha kke nahin keh rahe,
Sach mein yeh sab feel kiya hai,
Zindagi ke har pal ko yaahaan,
Humsabne bharpoor jeeya hai.
Mere doston main tumse kya kahoon -2
Shukriya boloon to saara maza kharaab na kar doon.
Har awaaz yaad rahegi, har muskaan yaad rahegi
Humari shararatein humein, hamesha hansati rahengi.
Yoon peecha na chhorenge hum aapka; hum yahin rahenge,
Aapki muskuraahat ke through har naye batch ko,
Hum ‘welcome’ kahenge.
Yaahan par students aate rahenge, yaahan ki yaadein le jaate rahenge -2
Aur shaayad thorhi si yaadein
De jaate bhi rahenge?
You can wait till eternity
Or take that step...
That’ll make or break.
Make it will,
If you let
Break it will
If you forget!
Sometimes it’s okay
To get flowed
To be
To not know.
What makes me wonder is
How to?
‘Let-Go’ when you
Come to know—
It was never meant to be.

The music of my soul
Is my own,
You can’t steal it.
My dreams, however galore,
Are my own,
They’ll reverberate in me.
“You are on your own”
Most of us –
A ‘One man show’.
Through the tide
Through the snow.
In the end I’ll make it
Finally
Once more.
Sometimes
It’s okay to get flowed
To be
To not know
What makes me
Wonder
Is how to ‘Let – Go’ – When you
Come to know-
It was never meant to be.


Laughter abound
When the waves falter,
I often wonder,
Light (the moon)...
I stay back;
Mocks abound.
I move ahead.
Pain kills me
Profound.
A heart screaming out to Heavens
Give me HIM.
Give me a life.
A Happy one, please.
A Husband taking care
Me giving more than love.
A humble bee
A smile so warm.
Like a fish I leap
How long...?
Give me love
I beg.
I’ll help
For me and you.
Come hold
It’s us, no more.
Simple feelings
Lasting Joy.
Aflame
Aglow.
I love you.
An always
I’ll heal
As always.

In the corridors of LSR
I walk by...
By ladies who know themselves;
Or, at least, who TRY.
I think of the days gone
Of the ideas born...
And revel in the joy
That has always shone.
The joy of learning
While contemplating...
A joy so fulfilling,
Like friends embracing.
And the next moment I realize
That I shouldn’t get lost...
For it’s essential to retain yourself,
Despite the crowd being vast.
Know what you want
Know what you don’t.
And start exploring...
The opportunities galore.
Among trees, on the grass...
Like long relaxing leisurely walks.
Be open, be versatile...
LSR, then, surely ROCKS!

“Should I have been trickier?”
My heart says.
“I want it back”
It weeps.
I crave
As if in daze.
Seems I went wrong somewhere...
But
Was it my fault?
A life unlived
My dream shattered
Yet again, what I have
Are all pieces of glass broken.

Did I bring it upon myself
Or was it inevitable?
Give me someone...
Just a ray of hope
Give me someone...
Just that scope
I bring myself on to it
And the rest, then,
Grows.
