note: ppl keep telling me that i dont write anything but poems on sadness
and gore and black and bad so i decided to try something happy but
i was only partially successful :P read and enjoy!
Stars, above, shining with all their might,
Sending the opalescent light into my eyes,
I could capture it and turn it into a twinkle,
If only I had a moment.
Laughter emerging from the mingling of the leaves and the wind,
Inviting me to share it using their subtle hints,
I could put it on and turn it into a smile,
If only I had a moment.
Years filled up with eternities, have passed,
Gifting me my present and my past,
I could discern the difference and grow up,
If only I had a moment.
moments have come,moments have gone,
Sometimes deserting me in the middle of a crowd,
And the other times, giving me company, when alone.
Never did I acknowledge their transient presence,
Neither did I sense their leaving me behind and moving beyond.
Beyond all the light years that are fathomable,
Moments that passed away and sank into the unimaginable.
I could steal at least one of 'em and hide it inside my heart,
If only I had a moment,
If only I had a moment!
A VOID
An emptiness in me exists
Filled up with a hazy mist
That does not clear up at all
Making my existence insignificant and small.
I used to enjoy the dewdrops
That inhabit the long thorny weeds
But crushed are now the hopes
of even the delicate flowers of amusing me.
Space in my heart is just a void
As vast as the bleak universe
Wrapping me up with its black shroud
watching me die and turn into a soulless corpse.
Vaccuums form when the spirit decays
And aches in that void become ceaseless
The sore grief looms over me like a shadow
Hence left, is a void in the void for all the tomorrows.

I WISH
Wish I could really sneak
Off to some world faraway
Where future would not appear so bleak
And past is not a burden of unfulfilled dreams.
The world of no goals and ambitions
And journey to there is adventurous
Where realising dreams is not arduous
but within the realms of comprehension.
Will I ever get there?
Or is the thought completely romantic?
I shall never know for sure
Because blurred are always the dreams that are unrealistic.
But i continue to wish ceaselessly
To reach for that world faraway
So I watch the nights fly
And the days melt,with a little hope
And sometimes, hopelessly.

LONELINESS
note: writing a poem like this is sad in a way 'cos it brings out my
inner conflicts so obviously but i did feel very good after penning
this one down.It did relieve me of the misery i was going through then.
Surrounded by a crowd of familiar faces,
But why am I so lonely?
Disgusted by the pretence around
Destined to suffer gradually.
Filled up with extreme wrath
And an urge to kill almost equivalent
To dying; like there was never a beginning
Left with only broken pieces of my heart!
What did I do to deserve this?
Do not I ever qualify to be happy?
Why am i subjected to this torture?
And so much more is being added to my agony?
Alone, alas! I reside
Within the confinements of my soul
To die painfully is the prophecy
and to be buried along my woes.

SOARING TIDES
A pair of wings are given to me
Should I fly?
Or let this moment pass by?
The universe is all mine to see.
Let me hold this dream a little longer
Its been only a while since I closed my eyes,
To behold this beautiful sight
A few moments and I would wake up, dont wonder.
Floating on these soaring tides
Having in my hands, all that I can have
Getting back, everything that i had once lost
I experience a wonderful high.
The whole cosmos has been captured,
By me and in my heart, it lies entrapped
How will it get away from my grasp?
Unless I let it fall apart.
Dreams have a thin periphery
Falling back into reality is scary
Which one is mine?
A world I fly in or the other I live in?
I choose the real sky,
The real ocean and the real nights.
But only to go back to my dreams,
My clandestine universe and my soaring tides.

SELF REVELATION
I was told by my friend, a star
To dream for the unpredictable
For something mystic, something bizarre
To think and pray for I was unaware.
Unaware of the mysteriousness of my soul
The sacred thread that holds only the bold
Courage lies in a warm heart, I was told
And in the rarest of the rare, true blood.
So I set out to seek these treasures
And found them buried beneath the red layers.
Of my heart with thy blessings un-separable,
From my veins and thy faith instilled in my nerves.
The mystery unfolds and unleashes a beast,
A beast caught in its own ferocity and wilderness
The beast is my mind and its uncontrollable mess
A mess full of tangles that cant be undone.
Ferocity of the beast accelerates with every thirst
Mind, invigorated as soon as the hunger sated
Controls of life slipping and water of life, too scarce.
I keep plunging into grief that is hardly iridescent.
Death shall bring a sweet resurrection
A re-establishment of calm and peace
In the end it'll bring me ashore, to cease
The violence of the beast.
And its gore shall effervesce
Forever into the ever-stretching nothingness.

A SMALL REQUEST
ok, its been long since i have blogged or put up anything.. i wrote quite a few poems
in the meanwhile so here i go putting them in my safe deposit box :P
The shape of my dreams,
My desires and fantasies
The silver of divinity gleams
Slowly with uncertainty.
My 'wrongs' are mine and no one else's
My 'rights' are always debatable
It takes a few nightmares and curses,
To make life hell.
When will an angel rescue me?
When will this monotony stop?
I desire sinfully,
To be placed atop.
If not the queen's throne
Then at least make me strong willed
'cos my dreams have shown
A world of adventures that is misery filled.
Allow me to breakaway and flee,
An imprisoned life is as good as the end
Let me reach out to my destiny
And i shall no more pretend.
To live and laugh
When the bitter tears are always hidden
A few stars i want to have
And an unpretentious life to live again.
