Obstacle

Obstacle

Marching to get there,
steps aren’t to be count.
Broke my pace and I halt
for there was a little mount.

An old tree, stood and waited,
to mend mislead minds like mine
“Climb onto me and have
a view, better and fine.”

“So go, conquer the hills
climb and get right at the tops.
look how far you have to go,
refuel your hopes.”

I needn’t fear the barriers,
realizing it after it had gone.
before the conquer, it was an Obstacle,
now it is another milestone.

There shouldn’t be failures
take it just as an Obstacle in your way,
get over it, and
you will for sure succeed someday.

The Two Sides of Everything

Searching for the Sun(with a candle)

________________________________

________________________________


Walking alone by the way,
all in a bulk of crowd.
I shout with a squeak
to be heard aloud.

Then suddenly, I realize,
the time has not yet come.
When not in the crowd,
but, I would be amongst the some.

Far away, I can see a mountain of success
and the long rocky way to go.
Other side, an island of success,
and a mischievous sea to row.

I am not supposed to sit,
enjoy and just admire the view.
Instead, march forth, work hard,
strike glory and be amidst the successful few.

Hopes

Hopes

I hope, I am not the wrong one,
because I doubt if I am correct.
I hope, I expect better,
because things aren’t as I would expect.

I hope, I am not drunk,
because I don’t sound Sober anymore.
I hope, I do possess some wealth,
because I just feel like a popper, at core.

I hope, I am blind,
did not wish to see this occur.
And now I hope, I am dumb,
so there’s nothing that I remember.

I hope, I am happier,
but my lips do not picture a smile.
I hope, I am not crying into tears,
I hope, I am not that fragile.

I hope, It is not one more time,
I hope I have not changed again.
I hope, I am not started again.
Because, I know I am hard to stop then.

These hopes are so beautiful, like glass artifact.
What if I crush them hard, intend to cheat.
I will probably break them, cruelly.
But then, I hope they don’t pierce, hurt my feet.

The Other Side of It

The Other Side of it

At the arctics or at a desert,
As you would try value the sun.
You will definitely end up being wrong,
For adjudging it, the same one.

Won’t you love to take a dip in a stream,
So as to ignore the rising mercury.
Won’t you love to stay away from it,
From the flood’s fatal fury.

Friends, family love and life,
Is all fake and namesake.
But we all want to be a part of it,
So that less we give, more we take.

While being pictured,
you would prefer to ignore but don’t actually realize.
The frame will be hung on wall, someday,
To count your “beloved” demise.

The world is always ready to be,
the way it may never appear.
It might possibly generate a rainbow,
By passing light through a drop of tear.

The jigsaw of this,
that you just couldn’t complete.
Until your senses realize, that there exists,
The Other Side of it.

Meaner

Meaner

No sooner did my eyes dash
onto the frame on that wall,
than I just felt like to smirk
over his stature, so small.

The picture so coloured
So as to resemble of his portrait
which is the ugliest as I remember
of all, till the date.

I can’t stop laughing at his face,
so ugly, pale and faint.
And can’t stop praising
The Artist’s difficult job of paint.


He appears haunting
In his horrible hair.
Intolerable to an extent,
that I could had tore mine in despair.

Oh he just looks a kid,
though a fully grown.
His eyes so forgetful for self,
that he can’t even mimic for own.

For all of my words spoken hitherto,
I realize a few defects.
It never was a portrait in paints.
But a mirror, which reflects.

Perplexity shouldn’t be blamed
for the mirror that day was cleaner.
I don’t dare to speak more.
But the reader in a word was “meaner”.

Elements of Love

Elements of Love

What is love, in a true sense?
I wished to learn, if someone could teach.
And later I discovered the answers,
as I walk barefoot, along the beach.

Love is Sand. Down to Earth,
and with facets in infinity.
Love is Water. Picture of Peace,
which also suggests of Purity.

Love is Fire. Just a spark of it
and sheds away all the ignorance.
Love is Air. Though never visible,
but always sure for its fresh presence.

Love is Sky. So Wide and Vast.
Though nothing ever it had claimed.
Five Elements of the Universe, are the Elements of Love.
This is how I was explained.

One query which now stands unanswered,
“Why is love symbolized by a Dove?”
And not by a Human Figure,
though humans are made out those Elements of Love!

The Departed.

The Departed.

Every moment I breath in gas,
I have to sniff it with intensive care.
I have to calculate it, every little part.
So that I do not pump in, wronger air.

Every little step, the way my feet move,
has to be done with shadowing.
And it goes so, for my other matters.
Continues with my other things.

I thought, its me at play.
But, not sure if it is a game, or a trade.
Eventually, its me caged and enraged,
Into the thoughts, so much self-made.

I was never happy to do this,
to stand aside the foe, and clap.
Better, I would shoot myself,
or at least on my face, Slap!

People saw me smiling with them.
But it was a Smirk, hid by the Mask.
Relations of fraudulent intentions,
which no longer lasted, after the task.

I do not wish to live, by these pills.
And just an Identity of mine to seek.
I better be, The Departed. For now.
and arrive, later. Stronger than the weak.

Blind

Blind

Today I met many faces,
and there’s one which I recognize.
The eyes contained a question,
While I pretend, as unrealized.

The question, which I opted
Not to reply,
But the eyes made another attempts,
With freshness in every single try.

I could sight the whole world
Reflected into those eyes,
Colours and blossoms on the earth and
Shine of stars and moon from the skies.

My mind turned into a maze,
Against my beliefs, of it being fortified.
I already began to falter, against the quest
that the facing eyes had tried.

Feeling captivated, I left the place,
hoping I successfully left everything behind.
But when I tried to see, myself,
I realized that, I was blind.

My letter to YOU

My letter to you

Rather confused about it.
To call it ‘Truth’ or ‘Misery’.
The life of a poet.
Till when to be a mystery ?

Coloured glasses of desires and cravings
Which were vulnerable to be shattered.
I bleed it out of happiness.
They were all broken and scattered.

I shouldn’t had been addicted,
to dreaming under the day.
It ended up into silent voices,
which I always expected something to say.

I also tried to count agonies into ecstasies.
But couldn’t continue for long.
All the calculations had misfired.
The maths I practice was all wrong.

But now I feel a bit merrier.
As if returned to life from dead.
Because these words now belong nit just to me.
And I am thanking you; that they are at least read.

Mistaken

Mistaken

Aside an erection site,
in the heaps of sand.
About a three feet-boy,
toiling with his little hands.

carrying stones over his head,
moving the big bricks.
He was made to dance
over fate’s unfaithful tricks.

for a future with bread,
he is slogging in present.
He hadn’t a playful past and is not
allowed to live being innocent.

Within him had grown
a man, angry and wild,
and I foolishly had
Mistaken him for a child.
