The Mal-contentment Circle
Becoming a dervish whirling in a blissful peaceful trance is what I sought, what I sought In a web of never-ending superficial zeals am I caught, am I caught To make both sides lose a never-ending war isn’t why we fought, why we fought Need not for this ‘ache-medal incised beneath the chest’ we got, we got So after [...]

Midnight! Stars around… I am waiting for the moon (you) to appear… Morning! I am surrounded by clouds… I am waiting for the sun (you) to shine on me… Winter! Everywhere is full of chilling snow… I am waiting for your warm hands to find me…. Summer! Flowers are everywhere…. I am waiting for your love to blossom in my heart…. And where are you?

My people beat on drums We swallow chewing gums They call us ignorant But they know we vigilant They’ve been behind us But first place doesn’t find us Now they’re centuries ahead Our leaders beg them for bread We have killed each other Demeaned sister and brother We have lost our birthright Taken away without a fight We asked to be set free We screamed like an angry [...]

It rained, leaving the weather damp The breeze brings along brain cramp But I still roam memory-lane The only part that remains sane The fears I ever fought The tears I never sought The joys of the past The reasons they did not last The people I failed The ones I hailed The wrongs I have done The things I have none My plans for tomorrow Dodging the [...]

Which is the master? Which influences faster? The brain or the heart? Baffles even the smart Your heart says NO Your brain says YES Which way to go To avoid redress Short pain yields long pleasure Short pleasure yields long pain Advice, inspiration or peer-pressure Any option you consider main But as easy as A,B,C Simple as 1,2,3 You eventually choose neither When you choose either So why harbour worry When you’d [...]

Tuesday, May 6, 2008
It has been a long time since I last saw you I was crying then and you were worried You just murmured “don’t know what to say” And I replied “I know as I love you” You eyes already said no to me And your body had turned its back suddenly You were ready to go forever And I was ready to [...]

There shall be a day of freedom and joy And there be a night, mixed with mirth and a melancholia song. There would be dances, candles and a crowd of millions…. Yet, there would be my morbidity to me to sing along. There will be a noon, without the sun And the colours bland, And there would be faded vistas and [...]

Monday, April 28, 2008
When do I miss you? It’s not when I can’t pull you out of my thoughts and kiss you Its not when I haven’s seen you in a year Its not when I awake from my dream and you’re not really here Its not when your name doesn’t appear on my phone Its not when I call your landline and [...]

When I met you it was a hazy day Being so far, you were impossible, people were to say, On this grievous experience of love I was ready though no matter what I had to pay. Opening your warm arms with a soft smile on your face, I was totally lost in this precious embrace, Feeling safe hearing the music of [...]

Wednesday, April 23, 2008
The reason for my hurting I’m not sure and neither certain Everything I hoped for Everything I groped for Slipped right through my fingers Drifted from reach and seldom lingers When I was so sure That my success was so pure Failure makes faces at me Brings weakness to each knee I knew I put in all my pressure But my pain never turned pleasure So here [...]
