Bitter Sweet Symphony

I wanted you in my life,

Speculations about you were rife.

Looked for you here,there and everywhere..

Thought of achieving you,felt like walking on air.

I know, on you, I am banking a lot,

Hoping you to spray colors to a pallid plot.

You are hiding behind the prevalent scenes,

With a motto,like a person of means.

And then tomorrow comes and you run away,

Yet I feel you to come closer every single day.

Finally when you arrived and held me,

You bound to me like an unforeseen decree.　

Was hoping you to interpret for me life's true gnosis,

Pulling me out of an abyss to an eternal bliss.

You were like the cool fresh summer breeze,

Made me happy enough to even understand Cantonese.

Because you came in knocking without any clue,

I wanted to make sure you wouldn't bid adieu.

I wrote your name in the sky, and locked you in,

Looking forward for a beautiful journey to begin.

And just when I began counting on you,

Like the sudden gush of wind you just blew.

The pack of cards came crumbling down,

Lying there, smirking at me was the clown.

Nothing could have stopped you, you are insurmountable,

You would come and go,as you dislike being stable.

Should have known,with you I shall always have a tryst,

You are the 'Change' which would　forever exist.

You are the only evidence of my existence,

But like the mist you never wait to condense.

Sometimes I like you and sometimes I don’t,

Change is constant, I can’t resist & I won’t.

Drunkards Song

Smoking a weed,

Sitting by the tree,

I am sloshed,

Drowning in sea.

Feeling all weird,

Demons in head on a high,

I am invisible,

Like catcher in the rye.

I couldn't care less,

But her thought enters my head,

I am lonely,

For her, I am dead.

Not in my senses,

But this ain't a drunkards song,

I was her best friend,

Until Riche Rich came along.

Truly loved me she said,

Trusted her with my heart,

I was a backup,

Dumped, for a new start.

Left without a parachute,

Cut off the oxygen supply,

I was a loafer,

Just a random guy.

Words left unspoken,

Love sure comes with a fee

I am sober,

Just as she told me to be.

This Is Me

I want to exist in the corners,

Wish to see my life from a 3d view,

Rustle around in known place like foreigners,

Hoping my disguise would carry me through.

Why do I want this?

I don't know.

This is me,

That's all I know.

One, Two and turn, elegantly roam like the knight,

And suddenly disappear like Houdini with a sleight.

To move all around with nothingness,

Jumping off from the fence of pretense.

Being stuck somewhere in between the line,

Wanting to rise and shine.

Yet to not care a damn about this world,

Lying on a hammock,reading a book,all curled.

 I shut my eyes and I see stars that shine bright,
 Sleep empowers and sweetly kisses me good night.
 Paving way to a kaleidoscope of patterns in my mind,
 Waking up to a morning with no thoughts left behind.

Why do I want this?

I don't know.

This is me,

That's all I know...

A Love Story

Let me tell you a love story
A legendary tale full of elan and glory.
She's a girl in a pretty pink gown,
He's her prince charming from tinsel town.
What happens 'Jab They Met'?
On each other their eyes are set.
Their fluttering heart beats out of control,
A home run, a kick,a score,a goal!!
In slow motion the wind blows her hair,
Cupid strikes love is in the air.
From the corner of her eye she steals a glance,
Imagines them together doing ball dance.
Oops!!Dancing on street;stumbles,she trips,
She gasps!Her hand he firmly grips.
I won't let you fall my lady,
Falling for her slow and steady.
And begins the saga of incomprehensible talks,
Round and round the aimless walks.
Inseparable they are like the moth from flame,
Saxophones and guitar play in background they claim.
Each others sentences they unknowing complete ,
A look at each other & their heart skips a beat.
Beneath the starry skies he holds her hand,
Promises enclosed in a golden band.
And down he goes on bended wobbly knees,
A ring in hand,"Will You Marry Me Please"?
She says "YES" & he leans in for a kiss,
A slap on the back,something is amiss!!
Working from home,drooling on the table,
It's her husband not the prince from the fable.
A friendly slap and shes jolted into reality,
The side effect of work and it's cruelty.
He's concerned, "Any Thing Wrong My Dear"!?
"Nothing My Prince Charming,Come Sit Near".
And so they open their laptops and work together ,
Aiyyo !! So romantic,perfect!nothing could be better!!!!! :P

Again & Yet Again

My City Mumbai....Is Hit By Blasts Yet Again...Innocent Lives Lost...For How Long Do We Tolerate These Attacks.. Try To Move On...Again & Again Old Wounds Are Scratched

The city which gives a second chance......
Where hope springs from the dead's grave.
'Terror' tagging along as the city's bride,
Justice is what we crave.
Everytime regaining the lost pride.
A mokery of our patience,
A slap on our face,
Yet we tolerate the nonsence,
The government stumbles in the haze.
The city which gives a second chance.......

Chimera Or Reality...

Dreams whisper only what you know,
The idea foments to slowly grow.
Subconscious mind knocks on the door,
Seamless thoughts begin to pour.
You are transported to a distant land,
Ruminate on the footprints left on sand.
The very thought you wish to avoid,
Crawls in, sucks you in a void.
Nothing but a matter less extension of your soul,
Unintentionally, mind takes in full control.
Facing the things that scare you the most,
Cold hand of fear grips you like a ghost.
Jumping with sudden delight,
Screaming with numb icy fright.
Head on collision with your innermost desire,
Truth unravels sans any fancy attire.
Mysterious happenings all around,
The dream leaves you spellbound.
Reasoning takes in a different angle,
No longer bounded between crevices of a triangle.
A memoir feeling of a déjà vu,
A moment lived from a different view.
A sudden fall from a candy floss cloud,
You feel claustrophobic in crowd.
Suddenly you dream of a ray of hope,
Tough times you wish to cope.
Standing under the starry chameleon sky,
The divine feeling of the dreamy eye.
What if this life is a dream?
If things are not as they seem?
A dream within dream as in ‘Inception’,
A figment of subliminal imagination.
May be that’s what happens when we die,
In some other world we open our eyes.

Moments....

A moment of truth,
A moment of comfort,
A moment of happiness,
A moment of inspiration
A moment of anguish,
A moment of trust,
A moment of temptation,
A moment of sin,
A moment of emptiness,
A moment of frustration,
A moment of shock,
A moment of lust,
A moment of separation,
A moment of care
A moment of pain,
A moment of infatuation,
A moment of guilt,
A moment of longing,
A moment of passion
A moment of anger,
A moment of sorrow,
A moment of attraction,
A moment of hope,
A moment of silence,
A moment of desperation
A moment of ecstasy
A moment of tear,
A moment of exasperation,
A moment of relief,
A moment of fear,
A moment of attraction
A moment of helplessness,
A moment of spontaneity,
A moment of chaos,
A moment of awkwardness,
A moment of insanity,
A moment of tranquility,
A moment of love,
A moment of breath,
A moment of death,

MOMENTS that last forever,
MOMENTS that vanish,
MOMENTS make up LIFE
MOMENTS disappear from LIFE.
