Life Lessons - Part 3

It isn't easy to enact the character of  life.
People have to disintegrate,
To cluster scattered relationships.

Knots of Life

When a blob of water merges with the sea its bliss.
But when the sea ebbs into a droplet, 
it becomes a gordian knot!

Seared in Silence!

Heart burning in silence,
Devoid of smoke and ash,
yet I still ignite within.
Soul lit; but leaving no mark, 
wounds still glare in the night!

Bleeding In Silence

Clutching shards that cut deeper with time. 
Bleeding quietly, hoping they’ll become whole again.
But letting go feels like losing the last of the light.

Thoughtography 2

Life and death is just about a burp.
One burp, life leaves it's abode
Body to be consumed by fire and mud 
Then, what's the use of 
having a mansion as a home.

Life Lessons-Part 2

We always speculate that,
it requires considerable time,
to instigate change in life.
But little do we understand,
the changing times would leave our life bartered forever.

Smithereen Memories

The red mist descends beyond horizon, 
footprints of your visit yesterday linger on.
Nonchalantly the haze still fills up my senses, 
reminiscence of your lyric still ornate my soul.

Where Silence Drowned

The waves reached out like memories trying to return,
The sky, heavy with unsaid words,
And somewhere between the sea and the storm,
I left a part of me in those waters, 
still waiting to be found.

Stay, don’t go, not yet!

Stay, don’t go,
Not yet, let the night, stand still,
The heart still beats against its will.
A fleeting smile, a silent gaze,
Is all I need to set me ablaze.
Just walk on, smile once more,
And I’ll ask for nothing more.

Break Away

Drenched today I may be, 
but this isn't my end yet. 
I would ignite afresh, 
and this ability hasn't perished yet. 
Discard I might my wings if, 
I would glide up again yet.
Would you be able to stop me then?
There isn't such a wall yet!

ZEN within The Storm

A light within I ponder,
love for one that should be. 
A journey in silence I seek 
finding a balance within the storm.
Seeking the path of yoga,
not just the union of body with breath
but a Zen within to be found,
A soul’s harmony beyond life and death

Feral Smile

This smile isn’t just a show,
it holds stories of silent roads,
walked with grace.
There’s calm in the eyes, 
but the heart does carry waves.
Every glance tells of moments lived, 
not just days.
No drama, no show,
just the quiet strength of a soul 
that has learned to glow.

I Reconcile

I don't complain as I tell this tale,
for he who complains doubts life, 
and I am a firm believer of life. 
I believe in the worth of its bitterness, 
mingled in each portion that I drink, 
from the cup of life. 
I believe in the ultimate mercy of these steel fingers that crush my soul!

Grime Under the Tablecloth

Grime under the table cloth

Beneath the fluorescent lights and sterile walls, 
Lurks an undercurrent of unspoken strife. 
The daggers are kept hidden, the words unsaid, 
But the tension is palpable, 
A throbbing wound. 
For all the forced cordiality, 
the animosity seethes underneath.

The Final Synthesis

The Final Synthesis

The unknown begins, 
the wind whispers to the dancing trees about a thousand secrets. 
The rain cleanses the stained earth and makes it sacred. 
The night plays its quite music, 
Life is Born!
man, and nature, 
nature and creation bonding in the final synthesis.

Mother Tales

Hey child, you would not realize, 
what is in a mother's heart. 
cause you just grow up in joy, 
now, that is all that matters! 
A mother's mind is unknown to all. 
The melancholic call deep inside, 
is never heard by anyone. 
Soul severed in pain for you my child, 
yet unknown, 
you keep laughing with glee. 
Now, that's what a mother's life-tale is all about!

TEA YOU AND ME


When the heart feels low,
or the day feels too long,
just one warm cup of tea,
and you by me, that’s enough.
No revelries, no crowd,
just peace and a little quite ride.
your smile,
Your gentle touch,
my gaze,
Our heartbeats,
and tea by our side.
Always remember,
You share your laughter,
so share your pain too.
I’m here,
in every season,
for that one quiet cup of tea,
with you.
Always.!

The Journey of a Gaslit Soul

 The day of birth decides the date of death.
In the theatre of life that unlatched,
happiness and heartaches alike
what count to be taken,
to be scripted down on my own?
 
Knew this all,
spoke it all,
but the ambrosial journey that started,
now being pervaded by languor.
due to Gaslit Soul!

A journey of thousand miles
one step made it curtailed
now locked in the scarred walls
Of a Gaslit Soul!

CERTAIN THINGS UNSAID!

Some intimacies are quite unique,
where two hearts mature together,
enmeshed in a web of love.
Guiding each other
with the light in the eyes.
Hope, in the dreams becoming one,
guess, that’s what makes separation harrowing.
Pain is caused not because of two hearts separating,
but one being ripped apart.
Yet, there lies magic in those memories.
They can bring two hearts
yet closer spanning the miles in seconds.

A Day At the Bank

A day at the bank, 
I could never forget,
With the scowl-faced monsters all around.
Am I in the prehistoric Jurassic age? I thought. 
They smell the greens so well, 
their ear for the tinkles so clear.
Those radiating smiles,
reflecting their urge to hunt down their prey,
those who just walked down to them unaware.
Their transition from the meek to the prowl, 
and from prowl to scowl. 
A day in the bank I could not forget. 

@Chitra Arun

I WISH!

I wish to touch you,
Feel you with my eyes.
The warmth in your gaze alone is enough,
To light up a silence 
That only I hear.

Your smile hides in my peace
Yet silence scare,
Fingers freeze on unanswered notes.
Now I’ve grown used to it 
I still find you 
In the spaces between the words.

And my heart whispers, 
Let me just see you 
Let me just hold you 
Tightly
Quietly
In my arms,
Just long enough to remember 
How it feels to belong!
