Avi Kolha Poem
My human diary just walked away..
Do I see it running away now?
What a painful sight this is..
And where do I record it now?
For it's my own diary running away...!!!
I remember the first page,
I never etched my name on it..
Just a coffee and some small talk to engage..
And as I turned the page..
It started penning down my life..
I never knew then, it would so soon leave my cage...
My trust, faith, was into my human diary..
May be it was foolish to expect so much from a mere diary..
May be I made it's life weary..
But one thing I know now, it has got me teary..
Never were the pages filled one after the other,
The void always had an importance..
The pen knew all by now, my laugh and cry and almost every shudder,
But still the diary chose to flee..
May be for our own convenience...
But as my very first diary is now distanced,
I dare not to write in any other one..
It still keeps my life enclosed,
But no more does it fill any pages to come..
I never reached the last page..
I wish I could do so..
May be that is entitled to only those braves..
Who write their name on the first page...!!!

Avi Kolha Poem
The You I love is not the real You,
It is just the figment of You in the virtual world..
I don't even know whether You will ever pop out of the screen,
But if you do,I'm not sure whether I'll love the real You!

Avi Kolha Poem
She sailed into the suffering seas,
Just like she through the mist sees.
Her heart lurches at the hint of land,
All she pines for is a heap of sand!
Ages since the smell of green,
And the familiar taste being only winds.
She's withered by the sea now,
She knows not to differentiate senses how!
But she's alive, it's enough it seems,
For existence is her only ordeal,
Her worn out gown no more feels,
Lonely in the suffering seas......!!!

Avi Kolha Poem
When the flock flies off..
And I stay back to savor the view..
It seems stupid initially..
My own home seems lonely..
Just as the sun sets..
It fills the sky with numerous shades..
I am lost in the beauty and loneliness vanishes..
And then it gets dark..
The darkness is so beautiful..
I start enjoying it's presence, loving it..
The pitch dark makes it possible for me to peep into myself..
It's the best i could do..
And lost in myself I spend the Night in introspection..
I never know when sleep takes me over..
As the morning breeze kisses me awake..
I wake to the call of the Sun..
And as the sky starts turning blue again..
I start missing my flock..
Their voices haunt me, and loneliness creeps into my being..
I soar into the sky in an attempt to feel their presence again..
I keep going through the sky in the thirst of their voices..
But nothing comes up..
The sudden activity stresses my wings and pulls me down to the branch..
The thoughts of the darkness, sunset, my flock and their absence take over my mind..
And unknowingly, push me into Oblivion...!!!

Avi Kolha Poem
Today I flee my cage,
My home for eternity!
I never realized it was a cage,
For I believed I could fill the pages of life,
Without stepping out of my home.
But it was not so..
Realization struck only when I saw the birds soar..
But to flee the cage, it took me strong chains to bind me first,
The price had to be paid!
But that made the flight priceless!
I hope that those chains always bind me,
So that i realize my capacity to fly,
And keep taking higher plights!

Avi Kolha Poem
Sweet good words!
That's what we crave for in life..
All the struggle, efforts, for those few words..
But when you actually hear them!?!?
They scare the hell out!
They always seem to be a layer above some hateful hurtful words that act as a shell,
To an unwanted nut!
Even if they come forth in the purest of forms,
And you know from the purest of hearts,
It's like a surprise which you know has a tinge of shock!
You know very well, that they have no other purpose than making you feel good..
But you are so not used to them,
That you always fear them to be true yet ,untrue!
It's like the feeling of emerging from a cocoon,
With the fear of being eaten up instantly , for being a beautiful butterfly!!!

Avi Kolha Poem
The noise troubles you,
And the silence kills me.
You keep looking for the deserted streets,
And even a single wayfarer brightens up my life.
You find spots with the minimum people in the garden,
I wait for the garden to flood with chirpy voices.
We both die to live in the other's environment,
But we both forget to live in our own worlds.
And may be somewhere in the gap between us,
Someone would be enjoying the best of both worlds!!!

Avi Kolha Poem
The sun and stars,
All the trees and flowers,
All animals green and grey,
And the Gods to whom I pray!
Also the milk and curd,
The bright windows and the dark pits!
They all form my world,
Seep into me bit by bit!
My eyes fall short of vision,
My tongue fails the sense-talk mission,
My thoughts keep running in this world,
And aimless zeal they wish to conquer!
All my being is just a comprehension of this world,
Who knows, may be in reality, it is even more absurd,
Bit by bit the world seeps into me,
And bit by bit i sink into the world!

Avi Kolha Poem
It's not what you hide,
But about showing that side,
Which I conceal all the time,
With the fear of none being mine!
I live and die for that acceptance,
That's the only reason behind all my actions,
After all, man is a social being,
And can't overcome his attention-seeking deeds!
Every person expects something,
Some control their thing, some let go of it,
The mime you keep for others' sake,
Is actually something they feel is fake!
You don't get things unless you ask for them,
But is there nothing in this world that would wordlessly understand them?
For I do understand them for others at times,
Then why can't I get the same from at least a few and sometimes?
But again we come to the same end!
Expectations is what kills the world...!!!
