Living in Moments

Moments of truth
Moments of love

Moments of care
Moments of warmth

Moments of woe
Moments of pain

Life is all but moments

It makes us
It nurtures us
It at times even destroys us

Life is all but moments

You ponder
You wonder

You frown
You laugh

You worry
You hurry

We live We die
We strive to survive

This is how we are alive
When are we alive

Life is all but moments

Adieu-Once Again

Don't look back in anger,
Don't look back in hope,
Don't look back in fear,
Don't look back in angst.

The time has come,
to take the step forward,
My dear...
The time has come
to bid adieu...once again.

Pocketful of memories,
bunch of laughter,
that’s all I have to give.
When the time has come
to bid adieu...once again.

I say
A beautiful beginning
is awaiting...
A new adventure
to take upon...
So as I say these,
the time has come 
to bid adieu...once again.

Those Corporate Monkeys

Am I the only one
or are there others
sharing the angst
against those monkeys

Those Corporate Monkeys!

Anger, hatred, grief,
are
filling up the senses.

I hate!
I pity!
their mere existence...

They are the Scaramouche'
They are the corporate monkeys!

The passion is gone
The attachment is gone
The satisfaction is gone

Who is to be blamed
Is it us???
or those monkeys???

Those Corporate Monkeys!

Cast Away

As I sit, my thoughts
carry to me to a place
Then comes before me
a rough sketch,
a human face.

Someone well-known
I see a gloominess;
a radiance is seen
that shines up the face;
I recognise,
its you and only you.

Why it happens to one?
All is past now
You are not here,
but your memories are with me
Like a treasure,
I care it.

All those moments,
we shared
Is for me an epical movie.

Crave to be with you
Your smile, your speech,
brightens up my life.

Day came you asked
Is it me or my life?
I said my life
Like clouds you went away...
But my dear
Were not you my life?

All the promise made
lie like a colossal wreck.
Like a broken glass on floor
that pierces the soul.
Echoes heard as in valley
Listen, Listen, Listen.

The pangs of suffering,
cries of the heart,
pierces the ear drums.
The sound as the sounds of
thousand howling hyenas.
Tearing the silence
of solitude.

With the fury of hurricane
comes upon life;
Showering its fury
with all its might.
Leaving everything shattered...

All that is left
is a lifeless soul.

A Girl I Met

A girl I met
With a twinkle in her eye.
A girl who
Craved for freedom.

As I see her
I feel thousand
Fables as if untold.

A search has begun.
Mind is not at peace
Questions to be answered.

A lot to talk
But no one around.
A queer girl
With a great smile

That pleases me as I see her.

Borders to be crossed
Lands to be conquered.

A solitary girl
With a quest to begin.

Life is tough
But not harsh.
All with a smile
You can win.

Too close but too far
That’s what I feel

Lot to say
But voices unheard.
But I thank you god
For such a lovely gift.

A girl I met
With a twinkle in her eye.


Note: From my old books...

Bidding Adieu

No more reasons
No more arguments
No more requests

The time has come
to bid adieu

No strings attached
No feelings left
No guilt associated

The time has come
to bid adieu

Tearing apart
Piercing the moment
the truth is on the face

The time has come
to bid adieu

Like a free bird
chasing the dream
leaving behind a legacy

The time has come
to bid adieu

Wandering Soul

At the crossroads of life
with thoughts in my mind
i wander....i wander

Questions linger
Voices as if heard from vacuum
Hollow and shallow
and i wander .....i wander

In the distant
there i see you
Fading into eternity
and i wander...i wander

With memories in mind
cherishing every moment
recharging my sap
and i wander.....i wander

The touch of your hand,
gives me solace
the warmth calms me down
still i wander.....i wander

Truth at times
stranger than fiction.
strikes the blow
so hard so hard

Still i wander .... i wander
in my quest
to find the stairway to heaven.

Question???

Memories and moments
wish could be relived
Alas! its just a wish

Clinging to it
i lead my life ahead
Alas! we are mere mortals

As i see you
erupts a unique ardor in me
tenders into me a renewed zest

Why is it so?
Questions...Contemplation...Retrospection
leaves me clueless and wondering

Is this the beginning of new epoch
or is it the gable end
And i question....

Confessions to make
confidence to be gained
And still i question

The touch
The feel
The warmth
And still i question

Alas! Reality has its own say
Fate has something else in store
And still i question

The scramble
The wrangle
Mind and heart yet to sync
To end this eternal quest

Survival

Aspire for the star
you will get up to sky.

Zest to survive
is key to success.

In this golden cage,
feel like a bird
tied with shackles.

Bondages are to be broken...
Every lock has its own key.
But you are the one,
who has to find it.

Life is beautiful.
Its taste depends
on how you savour it.

Never say die
as it is a wild world outside.

Rise my soul
Rise my soul
Conquest to make;
The destination is ahead.

You are the key
Master of your life
life is indeed wonderful...

This World

At the crossroads
of life,
I feel the presence
of a coming hurricane
I feel the chill
running through the spine.

Bit by bit
narrowing the gap.
It is haunting me...
No past, no present
and no future!
What a life is this?

All that will be left
is chaos and sadness.
Oh! God help us.
Oh! God help us.
Give the power to survive...
