Faith

White robes,
Or Black robes,
Caps of crafts
Diamond crusted staffs
Beautiful mosques
Cathedrals grand
Golden temples
Shiny stands
This is Religion
Really?
This is vanity
Human insanity
The one truly matters
Lives in your heart
Want to please him
Better start
From inside
Deep within
Voice begins
It tells the truth
It will not fail
Inside, faith prevails!!

Optimism

far in the distance, eyes search
no signs of lost love found
foolish heart, optimism abound
when last shred of hope
will be lost, it will die,
soul sighs,
sings to the terminal,
no cure illness,
last beat, stillness….

Last wish

Soul cries incessantly tears of solitude
I am lost in the wilderness without you
I forgot you in my heart, blinded by faith
The music played on, passion had its death
I danced and danced till blood seeps through my toes
Please have some pity and listen to my woes
My master, my soul, to the last breath
Don’t leave me a comatose soul with no solace
Servant, a slave, a concubine in your palace
Take me in, crush my heart for my deed
Cut my flesh in pieces, revenge tigers to feed
Savagery that will be, only self to blame
Each piece will still call your name
At last at last, my pain will cease
I will die, in absolute tranquility and peace

Liberty

Life need not to be a prison,
a jail for the dear heart
Wake up, make up and take up
Moments which will be lost
Loving again is easy, forgiving is not
They live happily, why should you rot
Nothing deep, nothing profound
Just a simple, shallow
Thought

Apathy

Most wonderful creation,
of gods, nature
Believe what you can
beauty in chain
Raise a shallow voice
It is suffice?
For the suffering,
that pain
Then I call it art
Do I really have a heart!!?

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

Steps

One by one,

back aching,

age making,

every inch a furlong

lasting for how long

before every beat, any song, 

let’s stop walking,

and witness million hurried steps,

forgetting their time to come

one by one, back aching,

age making, every inch….

and so on, long after you,

you and I are gone

Cure

In a dream, I saw
Garden of Eden
rivers of milk, flowers of heaven
tree of life
Soul still
Just unsatisfied
missed your presence
you who I sought
for whom I fought
battles of will
essence
piety
society
woke up all bare
sweat running through my hair
a beat then revealed
open secret of billion years
Heart is your home
Most of us wandering
True explorers are some
Don’t want garden
Don’t need heaven
Just let your presence felt
in dark blackened heart
Cure the incurable

Cruelty and misfits

the distance between us
is nothing worth mentioning
time in between albeit
is centuries if not more

you live in palaces,
my solace on shore
admire opera and ballet,
I listen folklore

diamond, gold ornaments,
black iron is my core
thousand hearts sacrifice,
none comes to this fore

money never in torn pockets
you have more and more
few steps door to door,
still destinies apart

Canvas and frame

scorching heat
head to toe sweat
hands getting tired
nails are wet
Hard work,
heart’s work
Created art work
priceless,
sold for pennies
true artists few
fakes so many
