Its Complicated

Your silence holds my wandering mind..
It seeks meaning for clues it cant find..
Asking you why draws but a glare..
An expression of grief, some despair..
Nothing happened but something broke..
There is no fire but there is smoke..
Try as i do to reason or rhyme..
My answers arent worth a dime..
Why is it that its not right..
Simple as it [...]

Another piece of Me..

Hidden in a book as old as can be..
A token rose, of love that can never be..
A memory of a place and time i so wish to be..
Another piece of the jigsaw that is me..
 
A carving on a tree where swing once was..
In a backyard among the wild grass..
Awaiting turns, just not long enough however it may [...]

Inviting the Inevitable

Take me into a grip so tight..
take from me the will to fight..
leave me by the wayside cold..
let no promises the future hold..
Break my will and my dreams of old..
let no more mysteries unfold..
let the past not haunt anymore..
let there be no knock on my door..
silently into darkness take me..
for there is nothing i wish [...]

What do You Need ???

Pieces of dreams
Embers of a fire
Fragments of thought
 
Hints of emotion
Moments of randomness
Glimpses of the future
 
Shreds of a picture
Flickers of a memory
Flashes of the past
 
A million faces
A thousand smiles
A hundred frowns
 
A world full of places
A pocketful of pennies
A heart full of ambition
 
A meaningful conversation
A thoughtful sentence
A single word
 

I am..

I am..
a passing thought..
a lingering glance..
a forgotten memory,
a stolen moment..
 
I am
an unsaid prayer,
an unseen path,
an unheard song,
an unfelt touch.
 
I am..
a wicked grin,
an angry glare,
a spiteful lie,
a heartfelt wish.
 
I am..
a silent stoic,
a mindless critic,
a method to madness,
an order to chaos.

Out of Place..

Its just another summer day..
Sunshine in the month of may..
Another one of many such days..
But somehow i feel out of place..
Nothing in particular is truly wrong..
But today seems a little too long..
There are things to do and places to go..
But my heart somehow says a No..
Life is neither up nor down..
And yet i have an [...]

Men Vs. Women

Over prose and poetry we fight..
No solution so far in sight..
Men and women invairably stand..
One without the other always damned..
What do we have so different i wonder..
Physical and mental differences i ponder..
Oh, the almighty did play a wicked plot..
Dividing us amongst our own lot..
A knight stands strong fighting his side..
On the other a lady scorned [...]

Ode to Childhood

Wonderful times of old i remember..
School days of careless freedom..
To memories today i surender..
Thoughts of the past i pick at random..
First crush and the jealousy it brought..
Fist fights on the sandy playground..
The trifles of things we once sought..
A chocolate, a picnic , a ride on the merry-go-round..
Untold promises of undying friendship..
Some kept , some in [...]

Raindrops on a Windowpane….

Raindrops on a windowpane..
Coffee , books and no complains..
India loosing its cricket match..
Still i sit and watch..
Jobless mind makes up rhyme..
Anything it says to kill sweet time..
As i type in hopeless despair..
I wonder who online has time to spare..
For this poem has no meaning..
No true end and no beginning..
Its just like a teen movie..
no reason, [...]

An evening of Unfortunate Events

Somewhere along those travels long..
My weary feet felt not strong..
So at the next inn i rested my feet..
Beers galore did i drink..
When he sat down i barely saw..
His voice a song, pure but a little raw..
His stories he told me lots and more..
A colporteur and a gentleman he seemed to the fore..
Before i knew i [...]
