The Last Rites

Whatever i had, in what i had

Comes to an end

This existence, of which little

I had been in, now abandoned...

Unabashed, i look at my back

With bated breath,

Waiting for my shadow to abate

The abduction, of what's inside me

Leaving behind my abbreviation

Is in itself, an aberration

What's outside,seems like babel

I search for my bacchanal guide

Who'd perform my last rites

The daemon in me, obtaining its dagger

For the final assault....

The world now seems rigmarole

With the reversal of my self

Now complete.

Shifting Sands

Walking on the sands

Of a deserted shore

I see flashes of what

Once stood there..

Balloons suspended in air

Bouncing heartily

In the same manner

As their owners

Small feet of small boys

Making their marks

On the shifting sand

Scattering joy in the air

Hands of couples in love

With each other intertwined

Like two creepers

Reflecting the bond within

Wives and husbands

Sitting together

Under make-shift shades

Chattering about the world

..i find today no marks

No bond,no chattering

The void in the landscape

Haunts my mind

The beauty of nature

Still intact

On to which added

The ghastly silence...

Give me a word

Give me a word

To think upon

When i have

Nothing in mind

Give me a word 

To pause and look

When the world's 

Moving too fast and blind

Give me a word 

To make use of

When i need 

To do it most

Give me a word

To get comfort from

When i am weary

From the deeds i have done

Give me a word

To caress my heart

When my heart

Aches with you apart

Give me a word 

To meditate upon

When my mind

Is rambling in the wild

Give me a word

For the sheer beauty

Of what the word 

Is by itself....

Goodnight...

Its so simple for you
But its hard on me
To see what 
I never want to see

Its easy for you

But difficult for me
To be what
I never want to be

Its happy for you

But its sad for me

To feel good

When you set me free


Its so simple 
For you to say
Goodnight dear
And you go away
Its so hard 
On my part here
To think that

You'll never again be near...

Masks

Shattered masks spill out coarse mud

Unveiling within a new bud

Feeling hesitant to come out

Is inside an innocence

Not ready to shout

A faith on a fragile thing

Is bound to end its being

Old flowers are bound to die

It isn't something

On one to cry....

Come out and see there's the sun

Standing outside is a new morn

Give it a try

For you shall never repent

A day which is well spent

Serenity

I lay on my back

In the  mild coolness

Of a  summer evening

Infront of me

The vast expanse

Of the night sky

A big eucalyptus tree

hidding a part

Of me from the world

Looked as if

It was going to fly

Crickets jumped

From here to there

Some leaves rustling

In the breeze

Beckoning every

Little thing around

To come and dance

with the serenety

Of the time and space

Come on, they said

Come, give it a try..

Whispers

Clouds whisper by my ears,

As if they have a sweet secret

Confiding in me ...

Their secret confidante,

Things from far and near

Things good and bad

Telling me...

That what may seem distant
May actually be too close,

And what too close may be too far.

And when they relate

To me, stories from faraway lands

They often invite me

For a ride on their back

To take me through time

And across the space

To some warm, forgotten place

Sometimes they warn

That more of waiting

May ruin the result

And too much haste

May ruin the wait

And too much of everthing

May make not much of anything

Clouds understand the world

As i so believe

I listen to them with a keen ear

And when they set to depart

I ask them to come another time...
