Sweat runs, forehead to toenail
Time has stopped in sweltering heat
Chores get accomplished at the speed of snail
All muscles go, all systems fail
How much more do I sacrifice for this pittance!
An arm and a limb, a hit or a cut
Take your given tools, have a go in the rut
Excruciating pain, then you stop abrupt
Thanking your marbles you weren’t born without luck

Abu Dhabi – Sheikh Zayed Mosque
People know the city for its oil wealth and F1 racing! I will know it for its truly majestic mosque. Here are few shots…
Do I belong here
If not here
where exactly
Reality of life
is ready to hit
the true misfit
perhaps for one
last time
ready to quit
no black suits
no lamp lit
just solitary coffin
that is it
Traps of glittering sand
Hope trapped in
minuscule crystals
translucent image
of what remains
still and will be seen
for teaching a lesson
for generations to come
I was the mason
created quicksand
someone didn’t land
so soft so beautiful
can’t waste such mastery
a sacrifice made
a price was paid
my sweet darling hope
was trapped instead
forever, infinity
no even divinity
could rescue, such
is the genius of its creation
now I roam the earth
mocking with mirth
cursing the birth
of universe and time
unable to cope
such is the effect
everlasting defect
of losing hope
Suffocation
Lost in the city
where camels glitter
diamonds on taps,
gold in litter
flutters in gutters,
Rich and poor
contrasting fates
soul suffocates
before long
Evening thoughts
intricacy of hue
carries me away
no opinions matter
just your colours cater
for what life is going to be
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
