Deluge

I have you right in front of me yet you are so far,
Is this what people call destiny?
If it is, its like a breaking star 
There are no more shackles i am bound to
No more restraints from the visible world,
yet, the invisible peeps in my gut 
whispers, "smile", even though your life is curled! 
I smile a lot, I know I do, why?
Memories- Yes, you are the culprit..... why dont you fade away with that good bye?
I wish you did, freeing me from this guilt trip
Snarled are my thoughts
wandering, as if in search of something!
They have travelled a lot, yet no luck
Unlike me, I know, they wont give up.....
I was crawling, music made me stand
It keeps me going, pushing me beyond my limit 
I want you to go.... as far as you can, 
Not because I dont want you, because I know I am a misfit 
I have you right in front of me 
yet you are so far,
Is this what people call destiny?
If it is, its like a breaking star............

The Masked Me......

My gaze cuts through me deep and it says I look rusted,
I now understand why my life's story is vehemently twisted,

I try to bring back the time when I had no need to scribble,
I try to erase the times when we quibbled,

But now I know, "fate is a two faced bitch!"
I wish my overworked mind had a "turn off" switch....

I look for the dreams to come true in broken eyelashes,
I look for the old me in the smile I put on those pretty faces,

I ve tried a lot, a lot more than I can sustain, just to find an answer,
For heavens will cry one day, "leave me alone, I am not a fighter"

The chase has been going on since I heard my soul cry,
The crease on my forehead is my soul's best alibi,

Am I nearing the story's end or is this just a pause?
whatever it is just tell me, still expecting an answer, what was the cause?

Just some more time and I ll be free,
The story will end soon and so will the misery,

You have very less time left- I want you to retort,
Please answer me before my rusted figure distorts......

I hope it rains!

I hope it rains today. .

To transform me into an artifact from a mere lump of clay. . . .

Years have passed but its still the same. . . .

The silent breeze still whispers that name,

That moment of truth which was once a lie!

Underneath that blue umbrella which was my sky,

I hope it rains today for the heavens have to cry,

To drip over the innocence which once made us fly. . . .

Even If it doesnt rain, i ll still be drenched,

For, as u ve squeezed me in and out nothing is left to be drained!

RETROSPECTION! My new poem.

My mind is filled like a crowded street,

Even the early morning's silence has agreed,

I need some rest but the eyes dont dare

To close for a moment lacking the despair,

I reprimanded myself for being so sure,

That my insomnia was desecrable lacking a cure,

So i am back with something untouched since long,

To scribble my thoughts whether weak or strong,

Having joined hands with the world's best fraternity,

Could i do more to prove its sanity?

I try to dodge the hurdles with a furious rage. . . . .

The gallop has collapsed into a dawdle. . . . Thanks to the barbed wire's cage!

An attempt made never goes in vain,

I think i ll get my sleep soon now that peace is gained!

Bulls eye achieved!

I wander everyday in search of the unknown,
To see if i can find the heart made of stone,
I know the path is neither just nor serpentine,
Every emotion attached needs to be redefined,
I met selfishness on my way,
I stopped by her just to say "hey"!
I got a stare back which cut me through,
I searched for torn bosom with experience as the glue,
Just a mile away in a corner was "care"
she was ripped too badly and needed some repair,
A tear rolled down when i felt her pain,
My heart said, "chill this is just the begining of a game"!
There came "happiness" to share the stage,
she said i ll always be there but in the last page!
The more i searched the more i failed,
But the quest for the stone heart always prevailed.
I was about to lose hope when a thought struck me,
"Lets meet love!" i said as it is always free. . . .
I almost crossed the lane when a car banged me,
The driver was "love" smiling at my agony,
I laid down there moaning in pain,
Searching for my heart which was new in the game,
There it was, at some distance, standing alone. . . .
I was flabberghasted to see it turn into a stone!
It smirked at me and said aloud "a dangerous game is about to begin!
Your search ends here as i was dwelling within". . . . . Lolz. . . . :-D
