Silent words !

Anticipation of the unknown
with your pulse beating up
like an echo of the drums
yet the soul remains
silent, just like
the voice of the unborn,
Shouting at the top of your voice
you are, questioning the skies
yet you remain calm, being
at the center of the storm.

The silent transition in the dreams
is the only escape from the real
and the comfort of the night
sings to you in harmony
cause the light of the day,
reminds you of the brightness
you miss in life.

the subconscious filled with
a light eternal,
the fragrance of lilies and
warmth of memories filled
in a home you made in your head
is the reason to smile.

Devastation !

And finally that fine night
surrounded by her loneliness
it dawned upon her
that the clearest of day
could end up in dust storms,
thunder and lightning,
yes, the clearest of day
could just end into
pure devastation.

Epiphany !

Awake, and this time
driven by the rush of blood in my veins
raindrops are falling,
the sky is clear
Oh ! look the storms have ceased
and the hurricane settled.

The damage it caused
yet to be analysed,
may be more, may be less
but the storms have ceased
and the heart has started pumping
the blood at its normal pace

Oh ! look I see the sun
though it has not reached my window yet
it is yet to grace me with its warmth and light
but look the storms have ceased
and I will climb up
leaving this bottomless pit
till I finally see the light of the day.

Lonely thought !

At the bottom of the pyramid
is where I lay
as I watch the sun go down
the horizon
and just like that
another lonely day of my lonely
being passes.

I lay awake in the company of
this unending sky and the million stars
staring at the moon, lonely as it is
despite surrounded by all the beauty
yet darkness is what
accompanies.

In these moments where my eyes witness this
my mind struggles with the thought that
if only I could capture your heart
may be then, just may be
you’d stay and we’d never would part ways.

Being fine !

She said she was fine
the sentence that had become
a default setting in her brain
letting her oblivious to reality

but no one is really fine
in the dark
speaking to the voices
in their head
fighting the demons
haunting them
all on their own
and crying to themselves
all through the night,
getting ready to face the light,

no one is fine in the light
with only themselves in sight.

A visit !

it visited me again tonight

slowly creeping in

making way 

to amplify

the darkest hole in my heart

enlarging that never filling void.

the loneliness it is

entering uninvited

in those hours

when the night sleeps

and the sound of crickets

is the only comfort

it grows, with days passing

and nights coming

and with every passing night

i’m a day further away

from everything, from everyone

-THEMOONLIGHTREVERIE

Mystery !

Strange are the ways of life

takes you on a road strange

where you pave the way, you can’t see

carving out your path 

as much with petals of rose

as much with thorns,

where comes a point, 

pretending as if not feeling the pricks of fear

becomes the only choice

you feed your brain with

as if that burning fire inside your chest

is not killing you in those profound ways

even when the smoke begins to choke you

you just keep on walking through this heaviness

even when the alley ahead is clouded with fog

and the vision is anything but clear

you are expected to see the dazzle in it

as if you are standing strong as a concrete wall

when inside you are falling into pieces 

just like a deck of cards

Shining light !

I wish for the time and space
to unwind and float away.
Stepping into your mind
to read your thoughts
sweet and complex,
wanting a piece of you to remember
treasure a part of you in my heart forever
there are countless paths to travel
abounding passages to discover
having you by my side
the rising of the early sun
and the touch of the dawn
the sound of the morning crickets
and the silence of the night sky
the moments are infinite to experience
yet this endless distance
standing tall between us
forbidding the sweetest pleasure
of being together
however the darkness thrives
i’ll keep the light burning
in my heart, warm and bright
for you to always find shelter
peace and comfort
when you finally come home !

Anticipated !

The mind strays uncontrollably
in haste, flowing with the turmoil
things fall apart, the hell break loose
despite the pleading, its the darkness,
stubborn and persistent,
decides, just to stay
for as long as,
gloom becomes the only way.
Feelings foreign begin pricking
own is the heart
yet, begins betraying
for the millions of questions
alien and mysterious, transpiring
answers to which flow
in a different galaxy.
The blame is on the heart
for its inadequacy.
and just in time
a feeling surface,
the lies unfold
the control is lost
nor the mind, nor heart
no longer can
control, manipulate or stop
the coming of the storm

Re-birth !

The art of inventing the strength
to welcome the life she fancy, with grandeur.
ways she choose, paths she traverse
frowned upon by many, yet the life is hers to be

Confusion and delusion,
insecurity and all the battles
fighting she is, with all her might,
no place left for second guessing the beliefs;
the beliefs, she holds, dear to heart.

The fierce is the fire
burning bright, to vanquish darkness,
following the rules made by her own
in search of the true truth,
making a life for her own.

Transcending out of guilelessness
she grew, while travelling
in those moments of voyage
travelled she a lifetime, mentally.
and today she blooms,
for it is the beginning of an unending end.

for the world is lost in its labels,
disabled and oblivious to what they’ve become
in the name of honour and dignity,
where ironical are the actions,
disgraceful and horrendous.

So she proceeds in the direction ahead,
unbound from the labels; right or wrong
accepting the ways strange and different
but once she gears, takes a flight high.
making the soul reappear, from a long slumber.

Taking the hold of the destiny
unpinning the roadblocks,
retrieving what she seeks
in anything but grief,
there she rises high, once again
like a phoenix.
