Memoirs of the Cherished Days

Another lazy day
A day to think and reason
About days bygone
About someone who was important
The cherished love
And the intoxicating smile
The long journeys together
The times spent with each other
And the dreams we wanted to live
Now we are not together
But away from each other
And just like me
I know you too will be
Out there somewhere
Lost in my memories
Hoping those days would come back

No more

Don't pretend
I don't believe you any more
Don't talk
I won't listen to you any more
Don't preach
Your advice is not needed any more
Don't touch
You don't calm me down any more
Don't come in my way
You don't matter any more
Let me tell you this
I've had enough- no more

Ascent of Thoughts

Riding on anger
basking in arrogance
with chest widespread
and eyes so deep
I called for blood
And they begged for mercy
There is no space for clemency
Hunt them down
Break them up
Not a single soul shall escape
Sacrilege won't be forgiven
There will be no complacency
The hunt has begun
And extermination will be complete

Insanity

A cup of anger
A tinge of fear
palmful of pain
reasons vain
cometh thee
and conquer me

Fruits

I am a fruit seller. I bring fruits to my shop only when they ripen. Some fruits rot on the trees. They're not selected for the shop. Some fruits rot in the shop and damage the good ones too. I don't sell the rotten fruits. I don't want the smell of rotten fruits to disturb any of my customers. I don't want to desecrete my fruitshop. I spread fragrance and not the rotten odour.

Walk on the Sands

We used to be there every night
Walking on the sands hand in hand
With pants rolled up and sandals in hand
Wetting our legs holding each other tight
Talking to each other about our lives
With the roaring waves in the background
Our laughs lost in the wind
Stars winking at us
We learned to wash away our sorrows
And laugh at our folly
We built our sand castles there
Now we are fighting to make a living
Long forgotten is the friendship
And the promises made on the sands
Long forgotten are the peaceful days
When we had so much more for so less

Waves

Stars in the dark sky above
Outlines of a boat ahead
Cold salty wind brushing my hair
Wet sand below me
Water meets land here
Touch me, touch my toes
Wet my legs and cool me down
Wash away my worries , cleanse my soul
Take me farther, deeper
Absorb me into the rhythm of your roars

Translation

-uniform movement without rotation
I am not a keyed or a battery powered toy to keep going on a straight line. I change direction, I rotate, I revolve, I get angry but I am usually happy too. Even a keyed toy may want to change its destined path, so why not me? Don't expect me to be in translation.
- Reverberations of a disturbed mind...

Rains of May

A flash of light in the sky
A drop of water on my forehead
Or was it the sweat?
I stood still expecting the downpour
Where is it? I want to get wet
Drench me with the cool showers
Cleanse my tired mind
Kill the summer heat
And make all beings happy
Thunders and lightning won't do
We want the rain
Rains of May
Take my pains away
Make me feel light again

Don't Cry Maria, He's not worth your Tears

Maria, my friend, keeper of my secrets, my partner in all deeds. You lived your life loving him, gave yourself to him and dreamt of a life with him. You cherished every interaction with him and beamed in the world of extravagant love that he built around you. Then came a day, when he found that he didn't love you. You cried and cried. You got hurt like it was never before. I know, my Maria, how it feels when you lose your first love. I watched in silence. Even there you found time to make my worries go away. You put up a brave face wih everyone and never showed your pain. You still admire him and wish he would be back in your life. Your pure heart still weeps when you miss him. You have been pained by his denial and decided not to ever fall in love.
My dear friend, my lovely friend, this is not the time to weep the absense of the unworthy, this is the time to rejoice your youth. Go to the villages, dance with the wind, get wet in the rain, chase the calf and play with the early morning dew. Smell the love in the air. Fall in love again and again and again. Make this friend happy by bringing back your vibrant smile. Let me see the shine in your eye, my Maria. Don't Cry Maria, don't cry for him again, my Maria, he's not worth your tears!!!

Blank

Draw it

or spell it

Write it down

or describe how it is

This is how it feltwhen you left my life

But it was not just a five letter word
It was a concoction of all the painful emotions

Which can be packaged into this simple word called blank

You Live No More

Atlast we exchanged good byes
I knew this was the moment
When we parted
From each other's lives
And from now on
My dear love
You live no more
In my life

Happiness

Smile at the strange bystander
Feed the stray dog which wags the tail at you
Help the blind man across the road
Show the way to a lost person
Buy the beggar boy some food
And tell your friends you love them
Thou shall hate none
And give every shaken soul the comfort it needs
Let there be no fights over worldly belongings
Share your successes
And take others' troubles
Thou shall find eternal peace
And the happiness long lost
For reasons long forgotten
This is the satisfaction you always wanted
This is your happiness
