    5 sentences later

    5 sentences later, I look up

    to infer the vacuum ,

    every 5 sentences later ,

    I realize the vacuum is absolute truth.

    Every 5 sentences the vaccum reminds

    I will stay.

     

    Every 5 sentences

    I try to feel -  with and within.

    Every five sentences later

    The presence of deaf ears

    Five sentences later

    Silence seems golden and

    walls welcome back to the grave.

    August 01

    relentless rain .

    thick dark clouds

    sway over rainparched land

    moisture laden winds

     seducing , tempting, provoking.

    a single drop -

    moon lit,

    as if a teenagers caress

    the non chalant drizzle

    soft, noiseless , yet continuous

    making way

    for the deafening downpour

     intense, rhythmic

    thrusting itself

    into the heart and soul of all parchedness

     raising it to esctatic heights,

    droplets go on relentless,

    the rain goes on .......

    silent Raindrops

    Silent Raindrops
     
    Raindrops falling silently,
    as if afraid to disturb
    the silence of the night.
    Rolling down
    salty consistency.
    The heaviness
    is it the soul , or
    in the rains?
     
    A pair of eyes looking up
    A pair of eyes looking away
    A pair of lips expecting
    A pair of lips saying-
    "we have only one thing in common ,
    we cant easily please ourselves".
     
    the rain silently rolling down,
    salty incessant consistent.

    eagle eyes

    eagle eyes cant be soft
    instant gratification
    may nt be the road to peace .
    it might lead to happiness though- instant hapiness /gratification.
     
    a moment to moment life .
    how insecure must one be
    to think that a moment is all that might be .
     
    that which is enticing
    may seem exciting
    but is the rushing adrenaline
    the path to solace.
     
    belief ,faith and dream
    ..... if there is no truth
    dream is a delusion
    belief ,a misconception
     
    no place really belongs .
    its time that seeks to capture
    and be captured
    then again ,one who captures is also the captive.
    entice also means to capture ,captivate.
     
    not a thief , not a snatcher ,
    what does it really mean to usurp?
    refusal to let go.
     
    some eternal dreams are like dough
    too fluffy to be baked into shape
     
    salt water is often grimy
    and grime cannot be soft
    and neither are eagle eyes soft.

    grey moments.

    what is the truth?
    the warmth of your lips
    or the cold  waiting .
    what is the truth?
    life or death?
    or the thin line in between-
    some white tablets
    one white tube
    pouring oxygen into a body
    the white sheet of the hospital bed
    which could ve been a white shroud.
    truth -
    changing with changing perspectives.
    as if not the words but the change
    were the essence of truth.
    what is right ?
    not truth not lies
    just - now .
    the moment
    not black not white
    jus grey.
     
    someday some one should write a book on how to lead a grey life .
     
    sach kya hai?
    tumharey hoton ki garmi
    ya unka barfila intezar?
    sach kya hai
    jewan ya mrityu?
    ya uske beej ki rekha-
    kuch safed tablets
    ek safed nali
    sarir mein oxygen dalti
    hospital ki safed chader
    jo kafan bhi ho sakti thi.
    dristikon ke saat badalta sach.
    jaise ki sabhd nahin
    samay hi satya ka saar ho.
    thik kya hai?
    na satya na jhoot .
    sirf abhi
    ye pal
    na shyam na sweth
    sirf - grey.

    Blue vaccum /neela sunya

    it took thirty years
    to realize
    the blue expanse
    which was to be my
    flight arena
    was nothing but
    a
    shapeless
    lifeless space-
    a vaccum
     
    one does nt live in vaccum
    you just infer it
    the feeling
    of feelinglessness
    vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
    tis saal lag gaye
    ye samajhne mein
    ki jis neeley vistaar
    ki aagosh mein
    mujhey udna tha
     
    wo neela aasmaan
    ek shunya
    hi to hai.
    nirakar
    nishpran
    shunya
    shunya mein jiya nahi jata
    usey matr samajhna hota hai
    ahsaas heenta ka ahsaas.

    lifecycle.


    life goes on and on
    like a cycle
    press feet onto a pedal
    and the next surfaces up.
    a day begins
    the next comes on
    solve an issue
    the next emerges
    Between the pedalling of days
    goes on ,the lifecycle.
    You can turn the direction
    by a twist of the handle
    but the movement always remains-
    LINEAR
    you may opt for the brakes,
    but are you ready to stop?
    why stop?
    where else can you experience
    this wind of life
    blowing onto your face.
    A bit of manipulation
    and esctasy could be yours
    The price-
    pushing (the pedals)
    day after day
    non stop.

    how little it takes.

            how little it takes........
    just looking straight into my eyes.
    just asking me to heat dinner.
    just enquiring if it was vital that i chop off my hair.
    just throwing the book out of my hand
    just stealing into my bed
    just gninning.
    just asking me where have i kept the rains,
    just commenting that without monsoon the heat is crazy.
    just saying -"net e ghantey nei to"
    just 3words-dont think so much
    just a concern-switch on the light.
    just a ring worn now for 11 years.
    just my sea and his wildchild.
    just u and me and our togetherness.

    a poem

    a poem
    estangled in my chest
    lines fastened on my lips
    words
    like butterfly
    wont sit still on paper
    i sit
    for so long
    with your name
    on this blank paper
    your name
    just your name
    could there be a
    better poem.

    ACID RAIN

    WE ARE LIVING IN  BITTER TIMES
    EVEN CHILDREN KNOW ABOUT BITTER CHOCOLATES
    WHEN BEING INTRESTED MEANS THERE
    IS INDIVIDUAL INTEREST
    AND LOVE MEANS
    THERE IS LUST HIDDEN
    AND WHEN WE TALK OFRAINS
    WE COULD VERY WELL BE SPEAKING OF ACIDS
     
    THESE ARE STRANGE TIMES
    WHERE EACH ONE IS BUSY
    HIDDING BEHIND WALLS
    ISOLATING IN CROWDS
    AND COMPLAINING OF LONLINESS
    wHEN EVERY NOW AND THEN
    THE URGE TO BE HUMANE
    HAS TO BE CURBED
    WHERE  VALUES IS A SYNONYM
    FOR PRICE TAG
    WHEN WAR MEANS THE TV
    HAS TO BE SHIFTED FROM
    MUSIC TO NEWS
     
    BETRAYAL,CRIMEAND BLOOD
    ARE EVERYDAY CLICHES
    AND GROWING UP IS A
    PROCESS OF UNLEARNING CHILDHOOD VALUES
    AND LAUGHTER SOMTHING
    ONE HAS TO PRACTISE
    IN CLUBS OR ELSEWHERE
     
    WE ARE CITIZENS OF A STRANGE ERA
    WHERE REACHING OUT IS
     A JOTTER ON THINGS TO-DO.
    HELPING OTHERS IS EXCESS BAGGAGE
    AND RECIEVING WITHOUT CAUSE
    A REASON OF SUSPICION.
    WHERE TIME MOVES SO FAST THAT
    EVERYDAY SEEMS THE SAME
     
    WHERE BITTERNESS IS ELITE CULTURE
    AND SWEET UNDESIRABLE
    (THEY ARE EVEN RECOMMENDING BITTER JUICES NOW)
    WE ARE STRANGERS IN THIS STRANGE LAND
    INSECURED,HUDDLED TOGETHER,ANXIOUS
    READY TO LASH OUT---
    OUR CHILDREN SEEM EVEN
    MORE STRANGE TO US.
