I am so....

 


I am ...

Angry

Like to  to spit fire

Nothing now I desire


I am...

Sad

Want to painful spiral out

Avoid a nervous bout 


I am...

Lost

Want life's mirage fade

From the oasis of life 

Roam in hills and shades


I am...

Mad

Throw stones at others 

Tear off my hair 

But,who will care?


I am...

Depressed

Want a full stop period end  

Not a bloody comma

Away from dubious drama


I am...

Frustrated 

Failed relationships gawking 

Desires refused walking 

Will the crossroads end?

Before I Bid Adieu ……


 

Submerged in past bundles of dreams

Maple leaves dotting your stone

Resting date on epitaph loudly screams

But, a bird in me remains silent and alone


I sprinkle vivid colours and lush

A canvas strewn with sinful escapades

Vicious thoughts continue to crush

Prick my heart with sharp blades


Oh, my dear painful memoirs

Conclude your melodious cuckoo call

I will applaud you last under the stars

Before I bid adieu to one and all


Shaking off the dusty confessional rugs

Who I was, I should not give a damn

If I wipe my house off past specks

Surely, I will turn into who I am

Bitter Sweet.......

*****


You were once a yellow citrus
Plummy fresh with satin texture
A light crush of love litmus
Turned me red with pleasure

A drop of bitter sweet nectar
Was enough to make me tingle
We joyed and soared together 
Gentle squeezes did intermingle

Satanic lure of sunny shores
Greenbacks overlapped yellows
Grass looked greener in other doors
Landed you in softer pillows

You still remain a lemon
But seedless sliced arc genie
Alluring with horny demon
Mocking on top of martini

Reinvent yourself yet again
Shoo away the weeds awkward
Let there be showers of rain
Sow your seeds in my open orchard

Unseen and hidden.......





Amidst the stormy sea
I park myself cross legged
Mortal world I flee
Try to be level headed

I sit in lotus position
All those flashbacks
Twirling round me
Chaotic life seems

Sum of all ticks and crosses
Positive and negative
Monsters and mermaids
Both flash their tails

Then a soothing soft whisper  
Awakens me from inertia
A distant galaxy shines
Where all departed souls reside





“There are infinite births
There are infinite deaths
Infinite is the time
Life a long hard climb”

“Short is life’s path
Breaths are countable
So are the relations  
As ordained by Almighty”

“Weep and mourn
Like a dove divine
Bear the speck
Of fate and time”

“Don’t get anchored
By boulders of fear
Unshackle the chains
Ignite the incense of love”

“Rise from the dark caves
Stand on two feet
And live the life
That has been given to you”

“Battle has just begun
Finish the pending tasks
I will always be there
Unseen and hidden”

My beloved Anonymous ….




Every night I want to
Cuddle you


I long to
Caress you 

A last touch ?

But you are far away
In distant lands
 


Where my arms
Cannot not reach

All I have
A scratch of rejection
A soft scar on
Tender heart



I keep humming
Melodies of self-denial
Tossing in iron beds
Heavily chained 


Wait for the dark folds 
Furry quilt of death



Amen !

We Are One.....




A touch so humble
Loaded with  desire
Lustful electrons flowed
Through pores atomic

What is the purpose
Of bond deific
When there is no connection
Of positive ions

Why do we
Hop to higher level
To seek
Solace mysterious

Life is what
We define
In folds of
Conscious self

Let subconscious
Subatomic level
Spin their webs
Of mirages

Bond with me solid
Physical and mental
Merge into me
Unbroken

Palm on palm
Do recite
We are one
One we remain

Zig Zag Love...

****
Don’t 
Booze much
Warns my wife
I steal a salivating glance 
Colourless liquid beckoning me
To guide me through the stormy life

At last conflict flows out of my mind
Vodka trickles down stomach
Burning the channels
Silence followed 
Buds of voice
Sprout

Could 
Now solve 
Complex problems
Chatter non stop philosophy 
Except the solution to my alcoholism

**** 

Hide And Seek

Don't Pelt Stones.....



Swallowed by ignorance and hatred
Nostrils spitting fire like dragons
We raise our voice to destruction
To ravage whosoever comes in our way

Peace buried in our own courtyard
Logic thrown into muddy ponds
We continue to chant in freaky bellows 
Freedom, justice and equality

Feet on accelerator of rash spots
With defective brakes of emotions
We found a new weapon
A stone of primitive instincts

A new race has born
Running helter-skelter
Blind, deaf and bigoted
With stones to pelt

I keep mum and close my eyes
I can not see my nation burning
I run back to my cave to hide
And resume my art on stones

Tattoo....





Sleepy 
Hollow 
Desire

Floating aimlessly
Sunk to a mere mire
Tormenting endlessly

Hanging lovelorn magnet
Looking for attraction 
Hardened rebellious mindset
Yearning for expression 

Do I seek immorality 
Or external beauty
Do I show off sexuality? 
Or body sooty

Intricate mystic matters
Chanting mantras tantric
Eagles 
Snakes 
 Patterns magical


Colourful, yet eccentric 
Turn Inside outside 
A painful skin statue
Everyone eyed
My brazen bright tattoo

From Dawn to Dusk.....



***
I may not have sweet aroma
Like roses that everyone loves
I may have yellowed tongued petals
But structured in Fibonacci series

Despite your black spots
That nobody notices
I trust you when you rise
Hug you without shame

From dawn to dusk
I carry your name
And follow you
To my last rites

Congratulations to the Featured Artist!

Yin and Yang

***
On a high pedestal sits the Goddess in tranquil pose
An aura of umbra and penumbra engulfs her seat
She spills her royal rob to create a fertile womb
To delve deep into the realms of motherhood divine

Out of the clay, she creates a figure unique
Adores it with eyes from the rays of Moon and Sun
Kisses to implant another eye on the forehead
To attain higher consciousness beyond cosmos

Maternal bliss and sublime love remain elusive for her
More she yearns, farther it gallops into chills of time
Finally embraces the duality, yin and yang, men and women
For the light can only be encountered in the dark tunnels

Humans or animals, all long for what they don’t have
Satisfaction, wiser people say, is synonymous to death
As long as you have desire, you have the instinct to live
But don’t flutter like moths towards paradise of light

White or coloured, all have the same elements of blood
Mind conflicts with matter and good clashes with evil
Live in peace, harmony and all-pervading universal love
Thus, ordains Frida Kahlo in her silent and implicit gestures

Cheers.....

***
I lit a candle
Say “Cheers to all “
I blow off my mind
For another sojourn
Of celebration of life

Life is sum of
Infinitesimal dots of
Happiness and sorrow

Isolation.......


Free Image Via Pixabay


A city once my humble home, anonymous now 
Littering now with strangers with frown on brow

Where do I dump debris of my forlorn love life
Shredded into pieces by scythe and crooked knife

Whom  do I narrate story of ossified tears
Who will lend me patient unflappable ears 

Every night I board the last train to sleepy bed
Shout the story amidst the rattling sounds of head  

Racing dreams and city merge in flirtation 
Only to fade in morning with pangs of separation
