Middle of no-where?

2010-11-03T02:56:00.000-07:00

In the middle of the journey
When you reasoned
And felt, that this
is not worth it -

You quit my love.

That day
When I lost ‘you’
I found my precious self.

For love

2010-08-13T07:08:00.000-07:00

Do you remember?

The first time we met

Exchanging the strange expressions

Unsure why the heart was beating faster

And the world seemed nicer.

The first call that you made

We talked for hours

Then wondering what the talk was about.

How we became friends

Over few cups of coffee

The ups and downs

Binding us into something known as love

That never let us live apart.

The first time we fought

Saying those words which I didn’t mean

And then consoling that life without you is a life not led.

The first time I cried

You held the tear

Said it was precious as a pearl coz it was mine.

The first time I promised

To love you forever

In that pouring rain

Where you could hardly hear.

Do remember --

No matter even if I have said it a thousand times

I am here to stay

To love you for now and for always…

Twisted wish

2010-07-21T23:43:00.000-07:00

I want to make a wish
That my only wish must be you, love.
And if you do not wish to be with me
Then let the wishes be unwished.

-Poorna

Honour

2010-07-05T23:49:00.000-07:00

“Why me?” is the question, my love
That haunts me like a gloomy ghost.

When I, in the hour of twilight
Promised to offer you my soul
And chiseled your name
On the chest of my dim lit heart;
You showered me with the coyote lies,
Burning the trust all the while.

Don’t you know that a man
Who can’t stand by his words,
Is a man better dead?

Away

2010-06-27T23:09:00.000-07:00

In between our souls
When distance embraced each parting step
I was not to choose.
So I let myself to disintegrate --
To become your dream
That could never be disowned.

2010-06-03T06:54:00.001-07:00

The day takes its last melancholic breath
Letting the darkness overshadow its beauty
I lay on the pillow of my solitude
Staring at the ruthless moon

The stars stare at me with the same hollowness
And I know how it feels
To twinkle magnificently, yet be so lonely…

Distant

2010-04-20T21:04:00.000-07:00

God returned you to me,
you came back and gave me my broken wings.
As we fly high -
in the light blue sky called life
trajecting a new trail,
why do you seem like a distant dream
that never realises ?

-Poorna

After a long time......

2010-03-23T03:09:00.000-07:00

The clean white tiled room with miniscule prints
Smelling of a fragranced disinfectant
Shiny pieces of metal, artificial flowers
The television blazing in full volume
My hand on the remote zapping
Mind wondering
The rays of the noon sun
Trying to pierce through the thick curtains
The cushion beneath
Comforting the drowsy eyes
I sleep away dreaming of the serene air
Green pastures, sparkling rainbow
Captured between the four walls
Mind wanders, here and there, this and that...

Woman

2010-01-07T22:41:00.000-08:00

This is dedicated to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeOumyTMCI8
Morning rays warming her dark skin
Laid as a bare body her chances of survival so thin
Eyes staring at her looking away
Hands afraid to hold her, help is just a say
Her people come and take her home
They heard someone whisper ‘rape’, their hearts doomed
She blows the pain suffering within
Trying to light the fire of revenge, never letting it sink in
Defeat is something she hates to accept
Coz with time she is going to stand on her own,
Steel strength alone reflects
Damn the world, she fights for her justice
Her purpose crystal clear, her journey never ceases
Her virtue can be stolen but not her vision
Coz the deal is the ‘strength of a woman’...

Wanderlust

2009-12-21T00:40:00.001-08:00

The blue bottle of my pristine dreams
Rolled down to your feet
You pick it up with your tender hands
Find it not so worthwhile
Throw it away
The glass lies on the floor, shattered
Floating dreams flowing with the breeze
Kissing the clouds
Flying high
Reaching nowhere
Why did you break me?
My dream asks you
When all I dreamt was ‘you’

Lighthouse

2009-12-07T20:41:00.001-08:00

In the abyss of
Lost hopes
Fighting hard
Not to drown in the silence
Sailing and floating
In a direction unknown, unexplored
Help me find a path
Be my lighthouse
Be with me, my master!

Migration

2009-11-29T23:08:00.000-08:00

Sitting across the sea
Pondering over good and bad
Thoughts keep migrating
Between the two
From shore to sea
From sea, back to shore

Creativity

2009-11-23T01:05:00.001-08:00

God created the beauty
The fragrance of the tiny flowers spread across miles
The varied shades of the firmament lying quiet
The birds humming the divine tunes
The soft breeze carrying the holy whispers
The flowing water purifying the souls it touches
The mother earth holding the remains without any complaints
The trees standing in patience n bearing the sweet fruits
The rains showering the message of love
The never repeating colours making the rainbow glow
The world a screen, every dusk n every dawn a new scene
Then he created the Humans
And his creativity ceased to exist forever after…

Friendship

2009-11-20T02:23:00.001-08:00

Facing the raw situations together
Rendering companionship
In times of need
Endless spree, sharing n’ caring
Next to each other
Despite all odds
Sailing in the ship called life
Hold my hand, my friend
I will be with you
Promise me the same for eternity

Reincarnation

2009-11-15T19:10:00.000-08:00

No matter how
Each time
A dream of mine
Is killed
By this world
Filled with
Insecurity

Somewhere
Unknowingly
A new thought takes
Its first faint breath
Growing up into
A new dream…

:(

2009-11-12T22:39:00.001-08:00

Dull morning
Cold clouds
Lost thoughts
Fake pretense
Forced smiles
Deep hurt

Without you…

Dab Hand

2009-11-06T02:19:00.001-08:00

Dancing to the tunes of the world
Asking the questions that even the soul does not know
Breaking the dreams to fulfil duties

Hold on
Ailing heart needs that passion to revive the fading life
Note that you are gifted for something
Do it or you are just killing your special skill

Shift in time

2009-11-03T01:20:00.000-08:00

There was a time
When I would look at the sky
And thank god for the serenity he bestowed
Now all I see is dreadful loneliness
Creeping within me
And swallowing my happiness
Past is nothing but a pile of doomed hopes,
The dust of surrendered dreams silenced forever
Insecurity etching its story
In the stoned pages of hatred filled days
My aura has lost the glory
Now I can only give back pain
Sarcasm has become my expression
Loathing the world my honest duty
In all the ways life forced on me
Where is the chastity of my innocence lost?

2009-10-29T02:29:00.000-07:00

To say or not to say
To do or not to do
To think or not to think
To care or not to care
But the toughest confusion is
To love or not to love...

Elusive

2009-10-26T02:46:00.001-07:00

Entangled with my own confusions
Misty eyes blurring visions
Lost soul wondering in reality
Waiting for the dreams to return
Hopes clinging on to beliefs

Someday elusive dreams will come true
For that glorious moment
I shall fight
The chasing death

Leave me alone

2009-10-25T20:13:00.001-07:00

Walk away
Leave me alone
It’s all over
I have nothing left for you
Nothing to give
Nothing to take
Let me make my way
Live this world
Rest in some peace
No more tears
Get high
Lose the pain
Feel numb
Care for my own sake
Avoid myself from the mess
Have some good sleep
Damn all the saintly promises
Walk away
Leave me alone
I want love no more…

Gone

2009-10-22T02:42:00.001-07:00

I see the wings
Of the angels burning
Their sadness
Like a dark cloud misting the sky
The river of goodness
Vaporised
Serene Earth draped with greenery
Stand barren n high
Stars lie down
Wishing for some sparkle
The rainbow
Hoping for brightening colour
Wind wandering
For the right direction
Flowers thirsty
For the lost fragrance
My lucid thoughts
Now draining down the abyss
Blinded innocence
Opened to the reality of loathing
The altar of sins
Is now where I seek shelter
This is now who I am
I silence the saintly soul forever
You gotta dare to be me
As I set the unreal heaven of love in my heart
On fire…

Morning Glory

Yours'

2009-10-19T22:46:00.001-07:00

Distance has taken its turn again
Trying to diminish the love between us
How do I make it understand?
That the silly attempts cannot extinct the high flames
You must know that after all the waiting
I will be there to hold your hand and lead you, love
Nothing can tear us apart
Coz no matter where you go; my shadows will follow you
Let your days be blessed with the sparkling smiles
Thinking about me, never letting you down
These thoughts of mine praying for your happiness
My kisses sent with the breeze that touches you
You can see me just by your side, all the while
For one more time, I wanna say I shall remain eternally yours…

Predictable

2009-10-15T01:38:00.000-07:00

Perhaps…..you think
Reality of knowing me hurts
Emerging from the dark, you see an unknown face
Denying is tough
I am that dark shadow
Colours of innocence shed
Truth is now what you see
Alas! I proved you wrong
Blame me for the double games
Love is not what I seek
Ebb the predictions, I am the uncertainty

The Metal

2009-10-14T02:14:00.000-07:00

Stupid minds boasting the unaccomplished goals
Their idiocy turned into the most worshipped ideals
Leaving us the same old tracks that led them to the glory of nothingness
Committed not to fret on making new mistakes
Reviving what is already done
Fear of being different is scaring the secure soul
The thought of falling down letting them slay their dreams
But we are different, we are the metal
Don’t try to find us in that lost herd of good people
Passions drives the mind; courage sought by the world so cruel
Painted with the vibrant imaginations, yet unknown to the sleepy eyes
Spirits burning with the radiant desire that can burn the lesser mortals
Named crazy and we lead the unconquerable horizons
Fresh hopes, new vistas, new roads and no dead ends
Life is in living every moment n every day a new battle
We are different, coz we are the metal…

Faith

2009-10-12T21:20:00.001-07:00

Far away I am drowning in the sea of loathing
After all, still struggling to be someone
In this single precious passing moment
Take me with you, my lord,
Honour me with your grace, I ask for nothing more in this circle of life

Breast Cancer

2009-10-12T01:12:00.001-07:00

Betrayed by life
Rare treasure of memories
Etched this soul
Amidst the pain
Smile becoming hard to hold
Together we shall fight this battle

Cannot bend down to this
Arise from the sleep of ignorance
Need to hold hands and be strong
Concentrated efforts will lead us to victory
Erasing the cancer
Reminding us that together we can…

Not easily broken

2009-10-12T00:35:00.000-07:00

Near the edge
On the cliff
Time ticking away

Errors turned miseries
Answers unfound
Shadows burnt
Intense fire
Lighting up
You are mistaken

Bits of hope
Rising high
On my own
Keen to explore
Eager to discover
Newness within me…

Tragedy

2009-10-10T06:32:00.000-07:00

I walked pass the cemetery
See the dead sleeping
A bare body lying upholding helplessness
No one around weeping
Horrified eyes staring at the carcass
Blood decorated the mud in an unknown pattern
Curious souls want a name
Making their topic of the day
When the face is turned
Beat of my heart skips
The popped out eyes closed by death
The face covered with blood like a veil hiding the expression
Heart is open, now just a piece of cold flesh
I see and I see closely
I know who that lady is
It was me who was once in love with you, my love…

Metal Mania

2009-10-09T02:25:00.001-07:00

Turn off the lights
Increase the non audible volume
Let the music blast the ears
Degraded trance crawling towards me
Allow the alcohol to flow through and within
Head slowly banging to the rhythm
Feet tapping with each beat of the drum
Soul dancing to the tune set in
Rage spills out its fatal venom
Let the smoke mist these eyes to reality
Riding high on dreams
Drifting thoughts reach the land of eternal bliss
Don’t stand there watching
Come; join this holy journey of the metal mania...

Unequalled
This distance
Between us
Is catalysing
The chemistry of our bond

Theories of attraction
Proved consistent
Together
We will react
To lose ourselves into a single alloy

Awaiting
Your return
High on u
M drugged for sure
With this new found chemical of love...

Can you tell me one thing that i love when u are not around?

Answer is NO-THING

Just like that

2009-09-29T21:59:00.001-07:00

As I see across the misted glass
The rain drops
Pouring on it
And slipping away
In that lousy time
I stare at the wet street
Back in my mind
Your thoughts are pouring
But not slipping away…

Me

2009-09-28T22:20:00.001-07:00

I am my known complication
I am my own solution
I am my biggest challenge
I am my best competition
I am my self motivation
I am my sensible judge
I am understood weakness
I am my only solace
I am my almighty
I am just ME…

Wots this?

2009-09-24T01:56:00.000-07:00

U
And me
No more together
My world is falling apart
Words spilling out of my head
Life lost control and emotions are vapours
Heart is empty, world is upside down, spinning mind
Running feet to an unknown destination in a circle of nowhere
Save me, I hate myself, I hate that you do not need me any more
I am a ship lost in the ocean of loneliness, sailing far far away
You know my world is nothing but your love so invaluable
But you walk away, don’t turn back to see my tears
M still waiting there with my broken heart
Hoping our paths cross someday
My love is unstoppable
Me is
U…

Where

2009-09-22T20:03:00.001-07:00

Miss you

2009-09-21T19:47:00.001-07:00

Soft drizzle
Fragranced soil
Unsaid poem
Incomplete feelings
Wet trees
Still breeze
Unheard melody
Mysterious love

Another way
Just to say
Another day
I miss you…

Dead

2009-09-20T21:25:00.000-07:00

Don’t look into my panic shadowed eyes
Hands covered with your thick blood
I could hear the last words as I pierced the knife
Your throat slit n your lips tremble while u call my name
I sit by your side waiting for your last breath to arrive
I have laid the rules n death walks in my stride
Feel of victory conquers the fear of my meagre heart
Your dripping tears no longer hurt my guilt conscience
In this moment I have set myself free
My face covered with glorious smiles
This darkness does not scare me
As the night flows under my control
My soul knows no hurt as your name stands erased
For today this heart of mine is gonna live again
As you lie dead in the hands of my thoughts…

Angel

2009-09-18T00:08:00.001-07:00

Come to me
I will protect you from the sins
Curl up
My wings of goodness will hide you from the evil
Hold me
The demons of reality will burn in hell
Take my hand
As I promise you love for eternity
In my eyes
Drown into the mystery of the depth of my feelings
Don’t be scared
Will fly away from the garbage called world
Trust me
Let insecurity now suffer solitude
Walk with me
I have laid the roses for you
Let me be your savior
The end of anathema is here
Please do me this favor sugar
Allow me to be your raging angel…

SIGH!!

2009-09-16T20:22:00.000-07:00

Dil ki khayi mein reh gaye apke nishan

Bizarre
Bizarre

Earth has stopped moving
Trees are running for cover
The sky is on fire
The air has turned into smoke
Water is now stone
And the valleys are all gone

Weird
Weird

My eyes have become my ears
The men are now croaking frogs
Spiders are raging giants
Ants walking on hundred legs
Flowers look jaded without colours
And all the birds are the dreadful dragons

God
Lord

Please spare us this end
Melancholy be replaced
Let love and peace rule
The world be back to those beautiful odds
Let us go back to our programmed destiny
And get churned in the bizarre, weird life; my lord!

Magic in a cup

2009-08-03T20:13:00.000-07:00

The cup filled with tea
Comprehends the beauty; withholds the golden key
That can drag you from the world of tiredness
Into the glorious reality waiting to fuck your happiness!
And then the whole purpose of refreshment is well served!

1.
Bhool gaye aise ki hamein jaante nahin hain
Aur hum apni jindagi unpe loota chale
Ek tumhari aas hi hai jo aakhir hamare saath hai
Nahi to hum apne saanso ko kab ke chod chale the…

2.
Kal ki hi baat thi ki hum aap ki baahon mein madhosh the
Kal ki hi baat thi ki hum apni khabo mein khush the
Kal ki hi baat thi ki hum aapke sab kuch the
Kal ki hi baat thi ki hum aapke pyaar mein mast the
Aur ek aaj hai ki tum hamare na rahe aur jindagi jindagi na rahi…

3.
Har pal is judai ka
Hai sitam nahi ehsan hai waqt ka
Agar hoti nahi ye dooriyan
To kadar na hota apke pyar ka…

4.
Is dil ke arman ho tum
Jine ka ho maqsat tum
In ankho ki ho roshni tum
Hoto pe saje hue nagme ho tum
Tumhi se hai ye jindagi, kyonki is
Jindagi ke jindagi ho tum…

5.
Ek adhoori pyaas si bankar reh gayi mohabbat
Ki jeete hain to marne ki aas lekar
Naseeb ne jo chini humse woh saari khushiyan
Unhe taaro ki tarah sajaana chahte aap ki jindagi mein pyaar bankar

6.
Lafzon ke daayre mein khinch na payenege woh aapke sitam
Pyar ke ehsas mein bhoole gaye the saare gum
Gir gaye aansuon ke saath hamare sapne
Aur aapke vaadon ke saath bikhar gaye hum...

7.
Tanhai ne apnaya aur bheeg gayi ye udaas aankhein
Rok na paye aur chalak kar beh gayi aansuein
Jeene ki aarzoo jo khatam ho chali
To pyar ki in raho mein hum khud ko mita chale

8.
Apne rooh ko jala kar apke mohabbat ko roshan kiya
Toot gaye hum phir bhi apke hasin ko mehfooz rakha
Bhool gaye humein aur hum intezaar mein baithe rahe
Saath reh gaye gum aur humne apke diye hue dard se bhi pyar kiya…

9.
Badh gayi dooriyan itni
Ki hum apki ek jhalak ko taras gaye
Haalat ke aandhi mein
Ummeed ke diye bhuj gaye
Apke pyar ke chirag ko le chale hain jindagi ke raah mein
Aap agar saath dein to hum is duniya ko mehfil mein badal dein..

10.
Jaane kyun dard se ek naata jud gaya
Is rishte ne humein wafa karna sikhaya
Ab is dil mein itni dard bhari hai
Ki ab khushi bhi begana lagta hai…

11.
Aapki khusboo ki ehsas ne humare khayalon ko mehka diya
Aapke haseen muskurahat ki yaad ne is dil se saare dard ko dafa kiya
Ab in yaadon ka hi sahara hai
Ki inke rangon mein hum apne aap ko bhool chuke…

12.
jindagi ne humein aise tabah kiya
ki humari Tanhai bhi tanha rehne ko dare
raakh ban kar reh gayi humari hasti
ki hum apne aap ko pehchaan ne se rahe

o Life always gave me fair chances, it was me who chose the wrong one

o I do not mind failing to the situation, coz that teaches me how to conquer

o Do not try to dig my past, it will only create a sub-way to hell

o Never let a compromise be a regret for a lifetime

o I was born creative, circumstances made me normal

o I have always been highly motivated to achieve things, it’s just that I am a bit lazy

o Don’t go by my appearance, its just a mask covering the hollowness rooted deep within

o I do want to be single; but I do not want to be alone…

o I have died long ago, what you see of me is the remains that only time can perish

o I want to paint my thoughts with the wildest shades of life and make the brightest painting that others can cherish…

o Feeling low is like a quicksand; it will only take you to the depths of solitude and silence your smiles

o My life is a state-of-the-art jail where thinking is barred, laughing is fined and living life is strictly prohibited…

o The most efficient key to happiness in life is the habit of loneliness

o The fake smile is the new means I have found to conceal all the screw-ups

o My tongue is sharper than any knife; it will cut u so deep that it’ll take your lifetime for the wound to get healed…

If only

2009-03-02T01:22:00.000-08:00

If only I could unwind the time and get back to the those days
I would have undone all the wrongs and held you with me forever
If only I could get to do something and bring that gorgeous smile on your face
I would have told ‘Hold on’ even to death and pleaded not to take my breath away
If only fate could bless me with one more chance
I would carefully wrap all those mesmerising moments and made a treasure out of it
If only I could become the passing wind
I would have carried all the beautiful fragrances and filled your life with the whispers of love
If only I could be the road that you would ever tread
I would only lead you to the world of happiness and taken the pain with me instead
If only I could really tell you how much I loved you
All I would want is to make you mine and hold you with me for eternity…
