FOR IT RAINS NO MORE…


Gone are the days of umbrellas
And the little joys of pitter patter
The euphoria of puddles less cleaner
Splash crashing through craters
For it rains no more, like it used to

Gone are the memories of romance
And the moments of intimate chatter
The bread of hope with a spread of butter
Hastily gulping at the strike of hunger
For it rains no more, like it used to

Gone are the conversations of sweetness
And the laziness of evenings darker
The lightening of happiness glazing brighter
Caught from beneath a thatched roof for shelter
For it rains no more, like it used to

Gone are the innocent deeds of nascence
And the cluelessness of being a lone ranger
The taste of freedom growing better and better
Served graciously on a live sized platter
For it rains no more, like it used to

I LONG FOR

Arrested by pale colored walls
Driven crazy by conference calls
Bogged down by time-sheet updates
Stripped by the formal mandates
I long for those carefree days

Deafened by eerie silence
Insulted by sophisticated obedience
Betrayed brutally by fake deadlines
Pushed to the edge by stringent timelines
I long for those creative days

Threatened by boring work hours
Irked by conversations of zero power
Pulled deep by my Adam aged monitor
I stand in quest by a purpose definitely better
I long for those charming days

Forgotten by good times of joy
Remembered by bad foes of ploy
Slowly erased by dust of nothingness
I might perish into the world of shallowness
I long for those carefree days

HAVE NO MERCY (on me)

For the many times
I have remained
Heartlessly indifferent
Ripping emotions
Betraying faith
And proving my might
Have no mercy (on me)

For the controversies
I have fueled
Against innocents
Tarnishing reputation
Shunning dignity
And stamping my soul
Have no mercy (on me)

For the insults
I have inflicted
Knowingly unknowingly
Shattering souls
Sacrificing happiness
And imposing my ills
Have no mercy (on me)

For the assaults
I have orchestrated
Against unarmed
Slaughtering devilishly
Erasing existence
And sharpening my ego
Have no mercy (on me)

For the stories
I have narrated
About life
Concealing facts
Underlining myths
And abusing my position
Have no mercy (on me)

A DIFFICULT ‘ME’

Forgive and forget
Not at all my nature
Masked as a human
I am a heartless creature

Sacrifice and surrender
Not in my demeanor
Selfish and self-centered
I am a rude crusader

Love and hate
Mean nothing to me
In a confused state
I train my mind to be unhappy

Hurting and thrashing
I turn my decisions into rules
Wish to follow or not follow
I keep imposing them on all

Success fails to impress me
Failure succeeds to win me
Giving up before trying
And trying still to win

Jealousy runs in my veins
Passiveness works like oxygen
Dependable I am not
On lucky ones who love to gain

With a pinch of venom
I consume the nectar of life
Rather than being sweet
My thoughts are nasty like knife

Competition is not my flavor
I will deliberately do no favor
If heaven is not a place for me
Hell too shall choose to disown me

VOYAGE OF LOVE

Between two destinations of
Dreams and desires
Traveled two souls
In quest of love

Time, days and years
Passed by as milestones
Of infectious romance
And addictive passion

A windfall of gifts
Bowlfuls of surprises
Kept the love alive
Between the two of them

Till one fine day uncertainly
Another face emerged
From the crowd
They were a part of

A third traveler
Or a perpetrator
None of their souls
Could make out or decide

But the chemistry
Was getting better
Between the emerging days
And paling nights

The two souls
Very much in love
Were finally separated
By the third soul of love

And the love continued
For many more years
At new destinations
Of allegations and advice

Arrived a tornado one day
Heaved by another soul
Pushing the two much in love
To the edge of disappearance

Thus begun another journey
Of illicit crimes and conspiracies
Staying awake through the lethal nights
Frolicking between the dangerous days

Names of each other tattooed all over
Colored hair in shades unknown
Getting pierced and pricked
By objects and sexy little things

A bit too famous did they get
For the souls to fall apart
In arms of their distant pasts
Hoping the love could have last

Abandoned on an island
Of hopelessness and hatred
Waived the hand of a soul
To a shining light of life

Descended another soul
For a new journey to begin
Deep into a whirlpool
To the point of no return

And finally the eyes opened
Wide awake they found
Each other again
To continue and remain

In a journey between destinations
Of faith and trust
Committed to each other
Ascending to the peak of TRUE LOVE
