Field day

And so you think it is with you
Your ideas mature gradually
insipid thoughts
though never do

Let them grow,
let them form shape
without
undue haste

Live on them
and
procreate as though
you could be today
what time is .. to me

Grace the glory
and tone the goodwill

Circumstances act guilty
of prying
hapless miseries
giving no tomorrow
any lack of shrill

Who could say
what new spirit will be
within you, I shall find
nothing else
but the want to let me be

Believing your hand
will lead me through chase

Accepting the anxiety
and incompleteness
with complete grace

I shall wait till the night
lives and
the day turns black with grimace ..

State of affairs

Seeing the stars
in my sleep
I am flowing through the moonlight
while you keep
my sanity
and
my pain

I shake the myth
and emerge less inane
I fumble through
the lies
and stumble deeper
trying to contain

The urge to spill
whats to be numb
by now
the urge to proclaim
what was to be
somehow

My truth, my life
my dreams
take two
leave no spare

Hold me close
infinity
I'm driving
down your way

Sit and watch me go
silently
and
hold what you can't
let go

Frame my dispositions
with reverence
old friend
while the vision is bleak
and the narratives still seek
the conjecture
is oblivious to a maybe

Mighty might
would you restore
seek serendipity,
serenity's fast melting core

the layers of hope
turn a new shape
Turn the slayer
to cope
Oh! whoever said
we could live on in hope

Slapstick
adaptations
and maneuvers of plight
the keeper
of secret has
rejected the sight
and all those
that turn your thoughts
away

Look at the black
of the night
and
the color you think
your life will portray

perspective shifts
no longer looking for meanings
while the night
rests on its laurels

the difference as you know
will always be there

You've something else to say
and I've nothing else
to hear

inch by inch
and tear by tear
we're losing, we've lost
the meaning
of being near

Fear of not being together
thats
now no longer there

My mortician
I'm no longer bewildered
by fate
I may not be moving
on but
I know I am not furthered by wait . .

Linked in . . .

Let me break into my stride

Let me live out
what I have
and
all that
I never let out for you to decide

Let me revel in what
I wish to no longer mull

The pen's in my hand,
the ending's unplanned

The sky has a newer soar
I have no one but life
to settle with
all my unfinished scores

My way has no road
but things may
still turn

The distance has no cage
and my thoughts
are no longer my mind's
hermitage

I know no rage
and I seek
a blank canvas
to render a beginning..

I ouster
an echo and I know
but life will never be bore
I have never been so sure

All I need is to be free . . .

But we are the lovers . . .

There are many prayers
whispered
as night turns to day

many questions that
go unanswered
as faith gives way
another reason to sway

When all is silent and cold,
will I have a hand to hold?
When the grey turns black,
would I be able to look back?

Some people fight
and others fall
Some people live
and others die
Some people run
and others fly

But us, we are the lovers . . .

If you lie awake
in the night
you'll probably remember
what you feel

If you were looking for
stars outside
you'd have noticed
it is never so reel,
it was just how you
wanted to feel ..

You can wonder
through the fiction for the truth
beneath all the lies
is what you stole

from life
from others
from self
from pain

when all turns black
it would still show
buried at a distance
but not far from
wherever you'll go

But we, Oh we are the lovers . . .

If a chance comes to save
between the one you lost
and for whom you now crave ..

A life you don't live
is still lost
A thought held back
runs deeper in a deadlock

the past is a legend
the future is a door
the lights are so perfect
but you can never be sure

If... , but maybe
say still .., perhaps
Have it your way

But we, Oh we are the lovers . . .
we're here to stay

You drove down all
the way to the shore
just to see if it sinks
while you gamble more

Smoke on the water
Now fire in the sky
look all around
there's no place to hide

Show me the way, you scream
It's all that you'll need in life
Hiding the guilt
in your eyes

Nothing is lost
to a will that'll find
Stand on the edge
and you'll know your way...

But we, Oh we are the lovers . . .

Still waiting for the meaning
the bright light on the shore,
the epiphany driven
parachute descending from
the sky?

Bury the memories,
this pour
Look at yourself
and know now
what it is to be sure

So live like you mean it
stealing doubts from
those thoughts

and you'll see
your never-ending-way
Dreams will be there to show
you the day
while you're up in the night
melting castles to clay

As for us, we are the lovers . . .
We chose our way,
in silence
to hear what life is trying to say.

An inconvenient truth

Time has come ..

time has come
for pace to slow
for the circle to bend
and the cracks to show

Between the
routine tears
that devour me
off life

the managing smiles
have got to flow

the age rings
are countless
and the
freckles have got me slow

Time's up
memories, leave me
I'll be fine, go!

It is time to flow . . .

Heading north
through south now
As
east is the new west
where the sun
will rise with a new cheer

The light,
I've never seemed to
comprehend
illumines me to transcend

I've longed for sunsets
thus far
And embarked
on missions shaded
in the dark

The cover for con
and
guilt within
The corner for
dejection to never sink in

Darkened hues
did me in
I miss the life,
my fear of the dark

Ohh light is the vision...
You can see,
without it
illusion is the star

I'll raise my voice
if it makes things clear
that we all are alone, utterly
here, there and everywhere ..

Stalking ourselves
through and through
in our minds
fighting the blues

But to that ignorance
is a cheer
to go through it,
is pain that
destroys all fear

And that somehow is
the way too

Living in
silence sometimes
is a life
of dignity with
its glory view

Uptill you know
your turn to find
has come,
to land you
to that time . . .

No bond like the one
that shame binds ..

Anger, pain
not displeasure or
disdain
Misery, not felony
deceit not near

To be cruel
just to feel kind
The bad ends
leaving the worse behind

The worst though,
is when it comes
to cheating oneself
of overcoming a fear

Feeding the impossible
and taming the clear
But if the bus's missed
so is a lifetime of
cheer

Through death
of a relation
or a sign of bane
The key is
in taking, all that
remains

So, dream a little..

A little dream
for me,
one that flows unbound
Because thats how
I wished to flow ..

A time without beginning
is also the time
that ceases to bend ..

False humility,
I deny not the good work
you've done peer ..

Of bringing me
to the crossroad of truth

I may also
quickly revise
the longing and cheers
that wait did provide
It'd cast its
bracings on the future too

My dilemma is
not hate
but its failing
to curb my love, silhouette

I say it not
for I realize it brings you down
I hold it in
and they can see me frown

This epiphany
still strikes me deep
While I draw clashes
do you nonchalantly sleep?
