Sunscreen On The Moon

A place where there is hope,
A place where there is light,
Where silence sings into space....

Where is this place you ask?
Somewhere high up the slope..
Or somewhere to climb with a rope?

It is a sacred plain which causes delight,
Where a million stars twinkle at night.
An alluring invincible fortress at place,
A beacon of radiant hope to embrace...
A place with no crevices in time,
A place which might be the perfect paradigm..
Wrapped in the cocoon of enchanting silence,
In between life and light,it is full of suspense.
An epitome of mystery, metaphor, love and fiction,
A timeless beauty to be moon struck with intoxication.
Different version it takes every single day,
A bite of it without fail somebody takes away.
Bright and dark; beautiful and non existent,
It is too near and yet,too far and distant.


In dream airlines an exquisite voyage to the moon,
Like a silver surfer to surf across the moon.
Every single day it suffers from the sun's wrath,
Nevertheless it continues solely on its own path.
May be to apply some sunscreen on its dry surface,
Prevent it from getting tanned and losing its pearly grace!!

A Reason

Do we always need a reason ?

A reason to believe..
A reason to trust?

Logic builds the reasoning,
An impulse refutes the logic.
You can't argue, you can't question,
Sometimes it's just easy to accept.

To accept that there are times when music goes into space,
The kaleidoscope of patterns don't leave an image.

That words have no meaning until you give it to them,
That the most small things can bring a smile,

That an Utopian way of life needs continuous adjustments.

That sometimes tears don't need a reason,
To accept that two parallel lines shall only meet at horizon.
That uninhibited laughter won't take you to treason,
That a White maruti omni is ominous without reason.

That Murphy's law shall never cease to apply,
That bulls eye doesn't mean a bull in eye,
Pet peeves cause annoyance,but you don't know why.

That hatred can be ignited just by a spark,
But difficult to keep the spark of love..
Even though it should be the other way round,
But they both speak in the silence of sound..

And you still are left searching for a reason,
Because it is just difficult to accept,
That sometimes acceptance is the key,
However much you hate to disagree.

Happy New Year

Of party invitations there is no dearth,
I think I am the most boring person on earth.

All I prefer is to go straight home,
Instead of having drinks full of foam.

I am a lazy person you can say,
Be new years eve or dooms day.

I wouldn't care a centipedes shit about some party,
Loud music,sweaty people is not exactly  dandy.

Exposure to loud music dislocates my brain,
Disintegrates it to finest level of molecular grain.

Zooming motorbikes and bellowing cars,
Surrounded by rings of jupiter and heavy stars.

Gosh! I am missing so much of fun,
Sob..I mean it with no intended pun.

Quiet place, few people quality time..
Senseless fun for no season or rhyme.

Yep, I am a lost cause with no hope,
You are free to hang me by a rope.

Antithesis Views

I command my brain,
Absolutely no more thinking,
Go sit in a quiet corner,
Shut up and meditate.

Hah! it laughs and floods all the thoughts in,
In a frenzy the thoughts party with chaos and din.

May be it's a matter of heart I analyse,
And I command my heart to step in.
Ask it to reshuffle and align  the pot pourri of thoughts,
'I just pump blood & such tasks are beyond my forte' it says!

The brain, the heart; the mighty powers fight to seize control,
Aaaaah! The dichotomy between the north and south pole.

I give up and decide I will do what I have to do,
The superpowers can continue to bicker,but I will move on,
Dancing on the edge and deciding on which side to fall,
It's pretty easy, I am just gonna toss and take a call.

I decide to bank on destiny and put an end to the cacophonous spat,
The burden lessened as though a brick was removed from under the thinking hat.

And just as I was about to do a free fall,
The brain and heart together got a stroke,
Within a jiffy they arrived at a common conclusion,
Ending the cacophony which existed a moment before.

    Well now, the brain said 'I win',

    The heart said ' You Lose'.

    ' I don't care', said the head,

     To which it's foe said 'Yes, you do'.

    Idiots I say! Such antithesis views,

    For once just stop to confuse and amuse!!

The Fall

The moment you start to do things to please others,
That's the moment you begin lying to yourself.
The aim being to marinade others of your fake charm,
And to constantly assure yourself that's causing no harm.

Well if the elementary reason for doing something is wrong,
Oh oh.. The dominoes are surely gonna fall,
Humpty Dumpty on his butt will have a great fall

Building castles on unsteady wooden logs,

Extravagance reeking out from everywhere,

The aim being to brag and parade with pomposity,

To portray a self image all shiny and pretty. 

If the reason to acquire power and be someone is wrong,
Oh.. Oh the dominoes are surely gonna fall.
The London bridge on your head is so gonna fall.

A little pretense, a twist to the truth..
A half truth here and a half lie there,
The aim being to fit in someone else's shoes,
It's between who you are and what you choose.

Well, the reason is not strong,

The justification is all wrong...

A butterfly effect in the long haul,

The dominoes are surely gonna fall..

They are so..so gonna fall,

And then whom will you call?

Damned

The hurt,the pain, the anguish,
The love , the caress, the trust,
The resentment,the anger,
The friendship, the companionship...
It's all that I had, which I never saw ,
What I heard, you never said.
What you said, I never heard.
When I was there, you were not,
Now you are there, I am not.
My head pounds and my heart is heavy,
In the green meadows I wander aimlessly,
All I want to say is sorry...
Steal the moments of happiness again,
The mist in your eyes condense.
I am far..far away, on a distant land
Ensconced by my guilt and regret,
To never say what I meant,
I hear you shout, I hear you scream
I confess, beg for a chance to redeem.
 I now roam like a damned spirit,
Some amends, some gaps to knit.
I need time on loan to borrow,
Alas it's too late I know.
You exist and I am just a dead thought,
My guilt with me in my coffin will rot.

Me & The Sea

A sudden whiff of fresh salty air,
And I stop with a jerk in my path,
The sea and me share a love affair,
I had to go and blow a kiss in the air.

My restless heart went on a flee,
And with a whim demanded to play,
Nothing else but only 'Beyond the sea',
And to hum along 'she is watching me'.

As always, I question why doesn't she fit into my view,
I wonder as I sit by its side and gaze into its depth,
She questions my restricted view,asking me to see through.
I blink,wipe my glasses; hoping my range of sight would improve.
She laughs her heart out with a mighty roar,
Offended I say, thou are full of arrogance and vanity!
Cauldrons of water plus salt and nothing more,
Forget the million metaphors that you stand for!

She gets annoyed and recedes away,
Melodrama, the sky and horizon together say,
Yet I plead her to rise and stay,
My emotion turn the clouds teary and grey.

Oops, I see that a storm is brewing,
That explains her mood swings,
So long I say, I will be fleeing,
Stopping our repartee for the time being.

There is something serene about the sea,
It takes me to a tranquil place in my heart,
To that special place it always holds the key,
And I hum along 'Swallowed in the sea'....
