She and I

A lady in a white dress and a yellow hat,
All filled with a fragrance of the preeminent perfume,
When I hold her tight with my bare hand,
She makes me content full of amuse.

She is the best healer and companion for me,
She took me out of my black misery,
When she touches my soft lips gently,
I feel like I don’t need anybody only she in full tranquility.

From the early morning until I close my eyes,
I find you there as you’ve become my only bride.
I will never let you go till I collapse,
With the embers of fire full of passion, I burn you alive.

You have always suffered and smiled in agony,
I tortured you but you gave me comfort,
You were in pain and in distort,
You endured everything and silently kept on burnt.

All my life I thought you were the perfect companion,
You took vengeance on me for burning you alive,
Now I know I didn’t burn you instead you burnt me,
By sucking my youth, putting an end to my misery.

I regret all my courageous effort,
I made you my pride keeping you close to me,
My life is frozen now full of frost,
Even your heat and warmth can’t warm me. 

Today I see myself disappearing in a thick cloud of smoke,
I lie on my earthy bed covered with white snow,
I set myself on my own pyre ready to blow,
I didn’t leave you and you didn’t let me go.

Will I Fly Free

I want to fly free like a bird 
Breaking this wall of Jericho into dust,
Transcending my limitations and boundaries above the sky
Escaping from this miserable prison I just want to fly.

All those catapults of prying eyes on my flesh
Each and every thirsty soul full of lust on the quest,
These herds of pigs enter this dragon to quench their thirst
I just can’t open my mouth for there is none whom I can trust.

There isn’t any price for my emotion and feeling only perishable body
Do I even have a heart or I’ve lost it in this cage utterly,
No one would even bother to peek inside to hear its beat
All are betrayal and deceiver and I’m forever again in deep. 

Why are they so hungry for this bare flesh?
Do I even have any identity outside the glass bar which I can’t break,
Crowds of dogs I see auctioning for me every day
With cold heart and suffocation of smile, I welcome in my own sway. 

Will I ever find someone who will love wholeheartedly and unconditionally?
This is the only dream to get lost in my own wilderness of fantasy,
I often dream of that redeemer of the dark alley when my flesh is in rest
I am alive trading myself for that only hope which is my best. 

I’ve won different titles and names from merciless heart
Their hands of filth have destroyed my whole art,
I want to run across green vegetation, Himalayas and sea
But the only question is will I ever be able to fly free?

Broken Dreams

All the juvenile fledglings broke the nest and spread their wings
Suffocated from the warm embrace of their mother
They demolished their own nest to built somewhere else
Sky is wide and their dreams so high
Collecting those tiny sticks one by one
She tried to build her nest again
She knew this day would come
But still why her eyes are so numb?
She is abandoned by her own
They ravaged the path she had shown
Spread your wings my little chicks
I’ll wake up for you and you’ll have a good sleep
Conquer that whole wide sky
My best wishes are with you till I die.

I'Ll Rise Again

I looked back to see
Without knowing, what should I see?
I saw the paintings painted in my own blood
I saw myself drowned in the tears of a flood.

I searched for the time if I was in peace
To my dismay, I was never on ease
The first step I took, lead me to the end
My ultimate trust broke with no penny to spend.

I knocked on every closed door
My shriek couldn’t reach out when I roared
I walked on the lonely avenues
I fell every time, abandoned with my own residues.

No redeemers’ hands were there to take me out
Entangled in my labyrinth with no voice to shout
I drowned in that filth for a long time
Now, I deny dying and got up to rise.

I saw my world full with corrupted soul
All excruciated me to fulfill their own goal
The pure and naïve mind is destroyed and poisoned
Free bird caged with the shackle of treachery and treason.

I have cried enough to empty the vessel of my tear
I have two divergent roads laid unconscious and unaware
For ages, I kept myself in a dark cage
Now, I shall choose to move to fill the left blank page.

With every accumulated fortitude, I’ll pave my own way 
Open mouths will be there, so let them say what they have to say
No more filthy hands to entertain, that always made me insane
Death will die to see my strength and with a new ray, I’ll rise again.
