Buried in dark slumber

Moving around in the depth of ocean,
beyond the visible wrecks
Lying in the deep dark trenches
visible through the cracks

I seek glimpse of treasure in this darkness
Unhinged by rain and thunder
I chase eternal bliss and happiness
buried in this dark slumber

Tides of life have rocked my ship
Losing control on the helm
I struggle to keep the trouble at bay
adrenaline kicks, nerves overwhelm

Shaking to the core of my existence
I wonder why I took the journey
Fortune favors the brave, persistence,
all the brave words go with me on gurney

Laying down I look upon the sky
I wonder if eternal bliss is true
Is happiness buried in this dark slumber?
Have I been deceived too?

I utter gibberish, spit on the sky
I roam gloomy and lost like an urchin
Curse the heaven and the divine
Forever lost, forever searching

Buried in this dark slumber
somewhere I have lost myself
I am too lost to give up now
Through this blood soaked, mud I plow

Forever resisting, forever stretched
I am a man forever hinged,
clinging to the last piece of sanity,
my life is a brevity
before I let go and fall in this slumber.

The Unknown Child

Wearing a tattered modest draper, wide eyed,
she stood amongst the maddening crowd.
Lurching traffic, shrilling sirens,
amongst all this craze, she cowed.

An instant plea withheld in those eyes,
her constant pleading, pitiful tries.
A child with fragile arm holding few alms,
she stood in merciless sun, yet showed no qualm.

Sweating within their cooling cars,
disgusted by child's hands and it's scars.
They paid no heed to her constant banging,
life is too fast and she needs no tending.

Some spit, some threaten with consequences so dire,
some with lust in eyes, try to pierce her attire.
For them, she is no child, she is just another urchin,
they care no more, as vultures perched in.

She hopes beyond the hope, someday she aspires,
she would get it all, what all she desires.
For now, she ignores this melee,
she moves ahead looking for a new destination,
for people with more alms to plea.

she knows, her new destination would not be so different,
just new faces with same apathy, similar indifference.
Putting up a brave face, she still moves ahead,
Leaving just questions in my mind, as she fled.

As I exist

It's been long since I have been myself,
nothing is me just a hollow shell.
People all around with worthy advices,
some mean the best, some with diplomatic vices

I hear the things I never wanted to hear,
no moist eyes not a single drop of tear.
Just a melancholy solitude in my inner being,
I cheer myself with doltish, careless living.

I revisit the past again and again,
wishing to change time with helpless disdain.
I try to gather my self from the fallen pieces,
failing each time with visible creases.

I don't know when this curse may end,
but each day I spend is with zealous intend.
I no more desire, the eternal bliss,
Just a content existence with nothing to miss.

I know this isn't supposed to happen,
for the course of life demands more striven.
I will not fail, is all for I care,
Let it be this way, it's the life itself I dare.

Dedicated only to you!

It wasn't far back when life was a pleasant dream,
a scenery painted with birds, bees and flowing stream.
Days went with each morning bright,
exuberant impatience for twilight

I lived each day as i thought it's meant to be,
never realizing the awaiting atrocity.
I did not choose to do so, for now I repent,
was it my actions that made you distant?

Each moment I spent is a memory,
be it a fraction of second, than let it be
I do not frown on the past, neither I dwell jealousy
It's only a question. What were we meant to be?

You were there as an inspiration, a source for my strive.
For you I willed it all, for only you I thrived.
I begged, entreated and tried in vain,
I feared the misery, intelligible pain.

I questioned your trust, your faith in me,
Doubted if you deserved the way I loved thee.
Now no more I seek vengeance, love or sympathy,
if this is what it takes for you, then let blame be on me.

I don't wish to woo you by these lame words, no more.
It's just a burden that my heart bore,
I hope for no respect, none I can visibly see,
it's just an ode for what you were, are and always be.

The Final Awakening of a Fool!

He had it all, friends, fame, money and dame
Life was good, steady in the fast lane

He went around enjoying every bit of the company,
took for granted even depth of matrimony
He cherished the lavish life and wine,
life mixed up, things entwined.

Still elated with void achievements,
past days glory, history were indictments
Ignoring every inner voice
He kept it up with never ending vice

For the day of wilderness were soon to end,
he could see it yet chose to pretend,
taking every step for granted,
no foresight, just wildly enchanted.

Now he sees, what all he has lost,
friends, dame, family and all he forgot
Now he sits as a shallow, empty man
Lost forever in melancholic trance.

Floating on a distant false hope,
It's all a dream, he gets a chance to cope.
Alas, for he knows that life for real,
but is it worth to live this ordeal.

He knows that he has to continue,
earn it all back, for what is due.

Of Life and it's Trades within

I see it closely, the changing time and rhythmatic life
A toddler eager to speak, a child sensing the wise
Rigorous time table of keeping up with all,
circular well with never ending wall

A teen with upright thoughts of rebellion,
a new found interest, curiosities of horizon
Youth fighting with the years for justifying their age
working in treadmills on compensating wage

Man realizing he has spent it all for a sensation
Keeping up a family, rendering every compensation
It's a feeling of running an Army always short of supplies
A never ending war, perhaps till the time he dies

Elder spending times relishing their memories
Their yesteryear's, learning's and life's atrocities
Final death bed remains as a peaceful wish,
making pact with God for they relinquished

All running to excel with the better placed,
A never ending race for an unseen finish line
It's perhaps right to be contempt of those who gave up and laid,
But the question is when and the price they paid

It's imminent and for once you will feel that life is practical
But in the end, it's you and memories that are left, choosing
the right one's is a gamble

Life is a Thunderdstorm without you

I have seen the lightning thunders,

I have seen the seven wonders

But you are the the one, who paves the light

the dark sunset, the depriving bright

I can feel the first drop of rain on my ears

I can feel the eyes moist with tears

You my love are the way to my eternal bliss,

those wonderful moments, those wet kisses

I can feel the world revolving, is it just geometry

Cause i think, you are the one, you are mandatory

My humble words are just a shallow body that shows,

my feelings for you are just as a tree grows

I can feel the saplings grow as veins,

blood rushing through, love prevails,

You are the torch I carry in darkness

For if you are not there, I have nothing to harness

I may not rhyme with the winds of chimes

But I will always love you, even in changing times
