Boundaries and Loss

 Lines,

Real or Imaginary they may be

Ones that can be felt by skin or by brain

The mythical objects that keep us under restraints


An experience

One that shatters and shredds one into pieces

But that's when Tyche keeps an eye

For one who's resilient is awarded


Boundaries

Entities that divide which then leads to demise,

Entities that separate which then leads to despise,

Entities that discern which then leads to yearn,

For yearning hollows one out

Despise then follows 

For when the two combine, they push one to demise


Loss,

A phase when truth confronts

A time when faith is tested

A stage when one hits the rock bottom

Or rather the hardest rock at the very bottlom 

But from then on,

One things for sure

Heading up is the only way...

Nabila

 Nabila

It took the sky 

For your revelation

The glinting faces of your diamond earrings

Just like the holy light

Granting me the enlightenment


Though your face covered with a mask

Possess you a beauty 

No viel can hide

For it's permeable

Permeable to the thickest of partitions


I know

It takes alot

To reach the sky

But for the moment

Your eyes lashes met

I wanted to lock the moment

So that it won't pass by.

On My Way to Hell

 On My Way to Hell

While roaming across the earth

Did I see a girl

With her face buried in her lap

I, disturbed her with a tap

"Please go away,

I'm stupid and ugly they say, 

Leave me alone

So in peace I may moan"

Dejected was I when I heard her say this

Something in my heart not felt right

So I hid myself in the bushes, far from her sight..

After a few moments elapsed

Did she rise her head high

With streamlines of tears on her cheeks

She tried to fade them away with the back of her wrists,

Appearing in front of her then

Did I ask

"How do I help you dear?

You are so stunning, then why do you lose you heart?"

Looking away from my eyes did she start in a deel voice

"I'm tired of this world

Judging me and grudging over me,

I just want to be aloof

With just a modest roof

And write the tears and joys of life

And cluster the words to forge a knife

A knife that melts the butter of heart

To make it compassionate right from the start"

Revealing who was I did I grab her in my arms

And rested her cheeks on my beating heart

"You will win the world with your words I say

No more life with moments of dismay

All your life would be like summers of May

With the sweetness of mangoes and tenderness of litchee

Will you get everything from Tyche"

Kissing her forehead next did I bid her a good-bye

"Don't worry , just remember me when moments don't pass by

I'll be around you before the moment you sigh"

Waving her hand did she bid me my farewell

Once again then I was on my way to hell....

Memoir of Tomstones

 Memoir of Tombstones

Tombstones talking

Standing afloat in the air

But burried in the ground

With only the view of forward

Nothing to look back into,

Cracking in the monsoons

And collecting moss after then,

They still continue to talk


Wondering about the personalities engraved

Bodies burried,

And how had they ended up 

Were they a part of a war or a victim of a genocide

Everything's history and all is under a viel

But a moment of bliss is what they need

A humane touch on their shoulder's side…

Its Hard

 Its Hard

It's hard

It's really really hard

When the weight keeps pushing down

Life makes you look like a clown

It's hard


It's hard

To breath

When the weight of life

Is pressing against the tender lungs

Even a few hard swings but

Difficult is what it becomes

It's hard


It's hard 

To figure out

What's running in the brain

When every attempt at living life

Seems to go in vain

And holding back just a step before

Before tumbling into the land of insane

It's hard


It's hard

When sorrows mask up in silence

And fears attack in the darkness

When dreams seem to crumble

And future seems to tremble

But still hanging on, for a couple of nights

It's hard


It's hard

When tears want to flow

But the dams in eyes don't let them go

When the anguish wants to erupt and blast

But rationality just sticks it so as to make it last

Though crevices open up to reveal 

The layers beneath the sugar coated ice-cream

A heart that's almost melted and lost it's existence

It's hard.

Keep Walking

 Keep Walking

When the skies are dark

And light's too stark

Just close your eyes

And walk from the start

And walk and walk

Until you've surpassed your past

To reach the realm of happiness

The one that forever lasts..

Horizon

 Horizon

Between Blank Space 

And Hard Land

There is a sky

Sky full of clouds

Clouds with silver linings

Silver linings of dreams 

Dreams of tiny beings

Who are infinitesimal in comparison to others around

But encompass the understanding of it all

Between Blank Space

And Hard Land

There is a sky

Sky filled with freedom

Freedom to roam round and around

Without judgement or abashment

A place filled with love and compassion 

A realm which no has control over

But which does control hearts of many

And souls of many others.

Perfect

 Perfect

With face gleaming beauty 

And radiance emanating from her eyes

The way she clasped her eyelids while laughing

Is enough to stop my heart beating 


With Joy right at the tip of her nose

And earrings dangling in her rhythm and flow

And whence her expressions on the show

Make me pause moment

For I don't want this to go


Her outfit in sync with her skintone

And when she rests her hand on her face

After smiling,

Makes me gaze in the depth of her eyes

And ask, 

How can somebody be so perfect?

The Reminiscence of a Goodbye

The Reminiscence of a Goodbye

The last time

I felt you in my arms

I knew you're set for the sky

And I've worked alot to keep your eyes dry

But one thing that I know in my heart for sure

Is what every passing moment next

Will feel different

For an year did we exchange

Stories, instances, laughter, atoms and most importantly memories

Memories locked in the safest corner of my heart

Waiting to be unlocked on our next meeting

A time that will soon come 

And will soon be over too

But there will always be

A next time

To laugh more

To cry more

To dance more

To remember more....

Pixelate

Pixelate

I had a dream

A dream in which I met you

The night was surreal and so were the garden scapes

But in that world of good

All the people were wearing capes


We spent the night walking and talking

Reminiscing the memories that were astonishing


And then we entered the sauna

To rediscover our flora

And fauna, To get rid of all the impurities

On our bodies and hearts


And then it was 

Time, to finally go apart

Me in my perception of reality

And you into yours

You rested your head on my 

Chest and I brushed your hair with my long fingers

And in the process we both 

Pixelated.

The Visions of First Light

 The Visions of First Light

When the sky lacks,

The warmth of the stars

Do I tread in the

Desert, to see the vision

The vision of the first light


Everything I know starts

As a mirage

But what it leaves back are

the negatives of the false memory

Memory of what was real

Real and pure and also had the

Intensity to endure, hurricanes and cyclones

Rising from the clowns and the clones

But still seeking water

In the dunes of the desert

I see the vision

The vision of the first light


The careful dance of eyes

Those stranded gazes

And the restricted movements of

the Heart, thus immobilizing the soul

Are what I see, when I see

The sight of the first light


Immeasurable darkness of innocence and naivity

Filled with chaos and maturity

But what it gets is freedom of depravity

And still hoping for the life to turn towards positivity

Is what I see, when I see

The vision of the first light


Fixated at the goal that is already set

Waking up every morning

Only to forget that this 

Is the only life we get to enjoy,

To azure and to regret

To love and to expect

To relieve and to reflect

For still the cycle keeps on Rolling

For the stars they don't come falling

But I see the sun at the horizon

And thus comes true

My vision of first light.

  A meeting  Coincidental, was it destiny? I don't know ... For life we swore  To be together Did we see the future? I don't know .....
