I APPRECIATE YOU
You are so swift
Across my life you always want to drift
Each time I try to up my game,
You showed the bottom and left me with no option that to apportion blame
You make my tears wet my smiles
When I go through my memory's files
For as I page through , I embrace joy as I bump into your enemy
Alas, as I flick further, I find you consistently
I appreciate you though
For you help me mature and grow
You strengthen my bone and give me wings of confidence
And I soar and rise above you with resilience
You irk when you knock on my door
But you can come and wage war
For without you I have no will to cross a barrier
You make me bitter but I appreciate you Failure.
I laid down upon the shore
of my bed,
and dreamed of a world i
set ablazed.
I heard the great shouting
and roaring of my name,
as i kept playing the
beautiful round leather
game.
The electrifying emotion on
the pitch,
and the extraordinary
feeling off the pitch,
Made me the best.
Even when faced with a
hard test,
i had no option than
victory,
cos wen am on the pitch, i
cause my opponent misery.
The smooth texture of the
grasses,
brought me happiness from
the masses.
The joy of winning every
match,
brought even more tougher
opponent attach.
Every game had something
to play for,
and when i don't get a
chance to play, makes me
bore.
Hearing the screeming of
my name from the fans,
only makes my opponent
feel banes.
I just want to tell the whole
world,
that i am the best in
everything i does in the
world.
It all started off innocent enough
To take a slight edge off the pain
Some days seem worse than others
So you take a few more I'm afraid
Before too long the battle is gone
You don't dare go back to the doctor
So you take to the streets to meet demanding needs
With no option of over the counter
As all addictions do they stop working for you
And eventually bite like an ungrateful dog
The only reason you know is your friends tell you so
In your shipwreck of a drug laden fog
You try and think back on the life you once had
Before you first swallowed this hell
But with a mind that's not clear to point you anywhere
Your past is too far back to tell
You pray for normalcy but never down on your knees
Afraid that you might get your wish
Not sure you could let go the only comfort you know
In this cruel world of hit and miss
Still if you could go back you'd jump at the chance
To not have given your soul away
In the form of a pill that doesn't care what it steals
Leaving behind death in its wake
Today's pill epidemic is horrifying.
Words
Like I’ve never felt the worst
Like I’ve never felt it hurt
You don’t know me now do you?
Ghosts
Haunting brand new unused minds
Feeding on a soul alive
You’ve not felt it now do you?
Was a tough struggle, ‘Tween land and water
War zone placed with the faintest border
To paint the struggle, the hues uncertain
Couldn’t understand why ‘‘twas so much harder
But I was 24 days old
When I went to the death’s door
And you brought me back alive
And I was 24 days old
When I faced trial at court
And you saved me in the fight
If I did not find you then I’d be watching from the sky,
Still 24 days old
Gods
Please don’t let her wander off
Please don’t make this life too short
Hear our prayers now will you?
Too young for battle, she got no option
She fought her way through the heard of monsters
Still underwater, can’t reach the surface
Would’ve given up if you let me surrender
But I was 24 days old
When I went to the death’s door
And you brought me back alive
And I was 24 days old
When I faced trial at court
And you saved me in the fight
If I did not find you then I’d be watching from the sky,
Still 24 days old
Your needles prick me all day long
But they stop me falling under the ground
Where the monsters wait to drag me down
To a place, I’d call home, if you’d let me go
But I was 24 days old
When I went to the death’s door
And you brought me back alive
And I was 24 days old
When I faced trial at court
And you saved me in the fight
If I did not find you then I’d be watching from the sky,
Still 24 days old
Context:
I obviously don’t remember any of this, but I had been diagnosed with meningitis when I was only 24 days old. Thankfully I made a complete recovery, and is quite healthy at the moment, with no side effects.
People expect me to go to med school so I can repay the debt I owe to those who saved me, but I chose to study arts instead.
I wrote this song hoping to release it and raise funds for a children’s hospital where I was admitted when I was diagnosed. But since I didn’t get a chance to do that, I decided to publish it here.
Hope you enjoyed it. Thank you
Parchment letter sealed with wax
Ancient communication did not fax
Addressed to me in elaborate style
The ink was crimson, it did beguile.
With hands that shook I opened it
Read the signature threw a fit
Seems I've heard from Frankenstein
Invite sounds deadly, not divine.
There's no option a coach will call
I'm thinking of a way to stall
Seems Mary Shelly will be there
Can I breathe their deadly air?
Covid virus a rampant threat
Fear for life no vaccine yet
Politicians useless without a clue
Tea with Victor a big taboo.
All dressed up in Victorian best
Wearing a cross it has been blessed
The horses are powerful soon we arrive
Goosebumps all over, will I survive?
Mask is on it's a vigilant move
Virus mutates, science approves
Bathed in bleach 'tis the fashion
Now I need a little compassion.
The butler looks like a composite
Tell no lie holding down vomit
Too late now I'm through the door
Dear readers, sorry there is no more.

RANSOM NOTE
A stark white note left on the front door,
Bright red droplets of blood on the floor,
Dear God, let my niece and child be alive,
Please, please let them survive!
I am told do not to call in the police,
Lest they take revenge and their patience cease,
But I have no option, I must,
True story of this kidnap is lust,
Money they want, I want my children and peace,
I want my children back, please!
I sit anxiously and terrified by the phone,
I’m so exhausted I fall asleep all alone
Waiting to hear good news,
And praying the situation will defuse.
I’m frozen with fear to my very core,
But suddenly hear voices, and a knock on my door,
With trepidation I open, there stand the police,
With two wide eyed children, my son and my niece,
They look battered, a young girl and a small boy,
I couldn’t contain my tears and ecstatic joy,
As I engulf them in a hug, dear God, they’re alive,
You made sure, that you helped them survive!
The wicket culprits were arrested in a dark lane,
Inflicting petrified children with unthinkable strain,
My life no longer seemed senseless and black,
For I had my purpose for life back!
Justice and the long arm of the law had won,
The greatest joy for a mother, under the sun!
I stand before the ocean
a lone beacon
enduring the crash
of relentless waves
absorbing their hidden secrets
Weighted whispered woes
and carried calls for compassion
wear on fragile shoulders
gritting truth behind a smile
where withering resilience hides
Navigating the intentions
of those with insatiable thirst
narcissists crave to drain
the vulnerable empath
standing alone in constant company
Lightly treading depths
lost in a running river
I can walk away
but stay submerged
as boundaries dissolve
An empath has no option
dwelling in cores beneath spongy skin
innately woven in veins
flowing with the essence of others
outweighing mere empathy
Yet, beyond colliding tides
a distant, soothing glow
from a familiar lighthouse
emits an ease of missing peace
A suffering human
aches to be known
by those who know

Went at stream strand to watch twilight ! The Sun went down. Started walk back to
home. Darkness to embower soon, peeping crescent Moon.Evening merging to night.
Too much tired was my feet.Hankering for car lift. Noticed headlights of a car
approaching from back. I stood getting no option. Car in slow motion. No response,
though showed hand. Seemed useless , just to stand. Pulled car-door: I preferred.
and hurriedly I entered. Got stunned, looked aslant. Driver seat was vacant. Car went
as usual, but in slow walking speed. Got puzzled, but what to do ? Ghost driver ! No
clue. Suddenly car hit bump. Promptly I made a jump. Man behind car came out.
He was pushing : No doubt.

By hook and crook
I passed two days of lockdown.
On 3rd day i made up my mind
Not to take task at home in hand.
I left kitchen and home on her behalf.
But 12 hours of day
I couldn't spend without work.
So i decided to play an adventure game
My soulmate was competent in the game.
First of all i made a cloth ball with my hands
We shall try to catch it on both end.
She and i entered into the hall
To play game with hands made ball.
The rules of game were decided first
Hold catch 2 points and dropped catch 3 points
We started it only for fun
But regret, we forgot it very soon.
I threw the ball
She caught and scored two points .
She tried to dodge me
But i caught and started with same points.
The game was going on
Throw and catch
Catch and throw the ball.
Clapped at every point
We were the players
We were the spectators
Enjoying game at both ends.
But my fate never liked my happiness
I was just behind her on points table
It my turn to throw the ball
I held it as rugby player hold ball.
Threw it hard towards her
Unfortunately she missed the ball
It made her face an extra ball.
The game was finished without declaration
No one defeated, no one was win.
One side the flooded Ganges
Other hand the hungry lioness
Childhood song i understood this day.
Hurt lady at home
Corona warrior was on road
To catch culprit of lockdown
Difficult to select
Either stayed in or out in lockdown.
I stood unmoved till conscious back
Hurriedly i took towel to use as mask
Opened the doors and ran out.
'Stay in', ordered a cop to me
But who had time to listen it.
A ball from my doors targeted me
But this time luck saved me.
Married man knew married man very well
So he helped me to save from hell.
He said me politely,
'stand under margosa tree in isolation '
I followed his instructions with deep breath
But it was damn evening
When honest man asked me,
'Choose home or quarantine of 14 days'
There was no option
So defeated soldier turned back to home.
She was sitting in sofa as queen
Watched as tigress looked lamb in grass green.
She turned on the TV at high volume
Highlights of WWE was going on tv screen
Punches after punches listened neighbours
With wrecked smile on lips
They asked me next day
' who won the match yesterday?

It seems, conflicts and even full-fledged wars have become common in the world we live in today. Despite the life-threatening circumstances however we have no option but to live blunting our senses as if nothing has happened. Life too has no less conflicts and yet we have to live. This ghazal reflects this sentiment.

With this life’s unease I’d to live--
By stifling my wish I’d to live.
Alibis no more, I’d to live,
With banes bare of bliss, I’d to live.
On sail-less boat, unfulfilled dreams,
On a half-baked dish I’d to live.
Bearing burdens unbearable,
Hope on a long leash I’d to live.
Amidst all waging wars in world,
On my inner peace, I’d to live.
