weekly bath..

not clean, you are
i said

give you a wash, i said
i will

responded like a cat
who hates its weekly bath

finally i gave it a wash
soaked and washed
well with a soap
looked shiny, after the bath

stopped talking
after the bath
my cellphone,
guess it hated the wash after all!!

storm coming..

Leaves shivers
Winds soar
Clouds are babbling
And lightning shouting
Rain drops run
And hide under ground

A storm is coming
My way!!

And I am waiting
Hoping and praying,
Life and death
Anchoring me,
On this ground

And everything blew off..
My hunger for life, still remains!!

when u left me..

Gave me hopes,
and she gave me dreams

And she left me
when I was asleep.

Left to dream all alone
and left to live so lonely

So happy I was
to be free

Had a party
and called it -
'independence day'


--
part - ii
all I say
at the back of my mind..

all i want
is to be strong..

still i cry
at thoughts of her..

still i cant take
she is never mine

ask my pillow
and it will know

how much i have cried
in your name..

criminal instinct..

Took my gun
out for a walk..

Gave the bullet
a quench of thirst..

Put in the prison, I
with no guns and bullets..

Still wondering
what crime did I commit..

silence generator

there was a machine
sitting in a dark corner

shadowed by thoughts
percieved with fright.

it took 'everything'
and returned 'nothing'.

churned 'words'
and gave out 'silence'


kids were playing
all around it
their laughs and giggles
fading into silence

birds were chirping
but to the rhythm of silence

far away..
tides were splashing, and breaking
on rocks, without their screams..


on the darkest of a night
the silent of times

a kid walked down
sobbing silently

walking close, he was
to the 'silence generator'

there was no sound,
just the tears, to his cry

searched the machine
in vain, for a voice to swallow

cried the machine
in a sky breaking roar

started to smile, the kid
his sorrows scared away!!!
