Heavens

Flying through the clouds
I discover
The meaning of you
an ocean of love
A beautiful dove
And the nature of me
Like a dry morning dew
Drops far and few!

Photography and poetry AB Jan 2014

Pièce de résistance

thought passes through
light years of contemplation
ingrained in the fabric of the universe
after billion books were written, read and memorised
all in the name of love of I
it is never you,
if it is, it is never true
day will come and death will knock
the redemption door will stay shut
until I is left in a thick, dreadful rut
and a journey commences
to discover the soul denied
how body concealed and heart lied
life beyond self, sitting on the shelf
the first, middle and the last book
of devotion, selfless emotion, agape
distant evolution, of kind
not considered worthy of mention, before
what could have been the intention
of such worthless, clueless thought,
opinions of sages sought,
to defeat hope, desire of something before I
I commences scouting, shouting abuse
at green shoots, inkling of new,
uncharted galaxy, time bends, skew
perception, accept reception of end
lend a hand, be that of destiny
annihilate I, old adversary, good bye

Message

Messenger at the door
Brought news from my beloved
Moments are eternity, in dark nights
lost without you, nightmare frights
Come home soon, before full moon
assassins everywhere, sending this dove
distances are killers of passion and love

Placement and pain

your coloured blanket
still lies at the same place
years have passed
unable to remove
you or your blanket
from its rightful place
heart of the room or
Soul of mine
still feel the warmth
of your blanket and you
Life is fickle, death is true
still, why it has to so cruel

Everything

Mine are mere words,
yours emotions true
What this world be?
Everything, without me,
Nothing, without you!

On the hook

I can not pretend
anymore, to ignore,
from the heartache
I am sore
your eyes, lovely bait
hooked my heart
line running through straight
I am just a helpless wreck
my error, fatal mistake
no panacea
In the mighty big sea
just crying, dying
me

Condemned

Never you?
And never me?
How could it be
I thought
We are bound
Life long
After life
Eternity
How could you
Be so cruel
Leaving me
Treating me
Disposable
Throwable
Ignorable?
Simple one
Beautiful, with
a dimple, one
It’s not you
It’s just me
Scoundrel
Deplorable
Scum of the earth
Horrible
I did it once
Will do it again
Just like to see
Everyone
in pain
You can
hate me
Berate me
Just don’t forgive
Curse me
Immerse me
In dark deep
Fires of hell
That’s where
I belong
for life long
Eternity
Not with you
Just with me!

Adieu

It’s time
ship is here
captain called my name
I have to go
heart wants to be
always with you
sailor in me
wants to do million miles
continents to see
torn before two
I say adieu
If life allows
and the luck
was good
not for long
it is here
I belong
It is true
I in me
says to you

That lost moment of salutations

million miles away
in thoughts random
in tandem with fairies

ignoring who is just
waiting for a solitary moment
salutations, recognition,
heart to heart conversation,

Lately, finally, realising only
standing at the life’s
alighting place lonely

with thousand faces,
indifference traces,
never ending races,

in thoughts abandoned
tandem with fairies
who, what was lost

and when and why!
fate is sly, will never let die
sense of could have been!

Glorious exceptionalism (an anthem for being different)

you standout
from the crowd
believe deliverance
trust in difference

come on
you stand,
standout
from the crowd

what is holding you back
have courage, sail
you will, unarguably, fail
many times,
most of the times

just believe,
standout
standout
from the crowd
from the crowd

pick yourself up
dirt will disappear
a new you appear
bask in glory

standout
from the crowd
they are waiting
standout
from the crowd

doubters, shouters
hooters, looters
will feel sorry
for what they did,
they should

standout
standout
from the crowd
you deserve it!
