Travel travails

Go fly, in the red sky

end of journey

someone is waiting

to give you flowers

happiness and powers

to change all what is

around us, thus

don’t wait, don’t be late

it is your calling, risk of falling

who cares, destiny dares

grab and go, never show

weakness in the hour of need

thousand minds to feed

inspiration, elation, relation

to love, life, and leaving

as whatever we see here

is fickle, dime and nickel

tease and tickle, compared

to what is waiting,

on the other side, so ride

cross red tide, burning sun

reach limits of the sky, fly

In the tunnel again

After a long time

I entered that tunnel again

Memories are not very kind

Squishing you under their boots

Planted thousand trees without fruit

And my heart was the cheap loot

Was trampled on, crushed uncountable times

Till there was satisfaction, clock chimes

Thirteen and fifth quarter of the hour

Tears replaced water in the shower

Guards ready to fatally shoot from the tower

When I escape emotions prison

with million justifiable reasons

still considered life ending treason

I am forced to enter that tunnel again

And I cry uncontrollably on the first step

No one to console, just me and darkness

lack of colours, mind’s starkness

and ignoring, unobserving, faceless passerby

Unable to lie, to myself or any of you

Longing

Desires are mere manifestations of our souls
Cravings we have, inseparable hearts
Beating million miles apart
In a parallel universe
Song of longing and belonging
To us, to you, to universe
Reality is lost somewhere in between
Creates a tornado of affection never seen
Come, reside in my dark lump of blood
It becomes a red rose in the garden of Eden
A palace of unmatched beauty
Once you have been
Visit me once in a blue moon, latent maiden

Reflections

Sweet dreams caressing my eyes
Your voice giving solitude a hope
The day I see you, happiness unfathomable
Will come, alas, my heart won’t cope
Throw a few rose petals on my coffin!

Humanity – the book

The current civilisation of Human species has come a long way in the last five thousand years. The technology is mesmerising, architecture astounding and knowledge is touching nebulae and far flung galaxies. Our values however are perhaps not showing same level of progress. There is continuous war and hunger. Inequality is increasing every moment, pursuit of wealth has made most of us blind from the misery of our brethren living just few moments away from us. Environment is a concern for the tree hugging minority only. Destruction of forests, extinctions of wildlife species and increasing temperatures globally is a commonality not even worthy of daily news anymore. This age of individuality and trying to live life through social media has made our planet more ignorant, less tolerant and a troll infested realm. I hope, wish and pray that some of these terrible trends will reverse in the not so distant future and humanity snaps out of this current craze of abominable behaviour. This short book of poems and images try to highlight my humble observations in an abstract setting.

I will try to spread this message of compassion and equality until the time is upon me. Here is the latest instalment in the form of a book at IBOOks store (free)

Humanity

Colour of your eyes

Scene never changes

Perhaps ever so slightly

Weather does, mostly

It could be hot or cold

Clouds, sun behold

Snow just scolds

Torrential rain, be bold

Step outside and sing

Whatever the day brings

Never pay attention

to custom and convention

Take down barriers

Returns all couriers

with bland, bad news

Sadness you can refuse

Put happiness in shot fuse

rejoice, entice

all around you,

Love, laughter to bind you

together, forever in a merriment chain

so what, if today is terrible rain

Sun will eventually come out

Smiles will eventually return

People will ultimately have fun

Demons will actually run

away, far, beyond north star

And finally, just on the last day

before judgment is upon us

I can see colour of your eyes

Deep blue, showing pure, true

worth of life, living and love</p>

 

Majestic Madrid

Gardens, palaces, squares
A city full of passion
Hot, boiling blood
Never out of fashion
