Pieces

She efforlessly moved her agile body
And jumped over the guy.
He fell on his back and stared at her.
Sitting on top of him
she took out a knife.
He did not even blink
As if he knew what was in store
and never protested.
She stabbed right at his heart
And he stared at her eyes
And then one more time
her hand moved
right into his heart.
With the full length of knife
Inside his heart,
He kept on staring
At her.
She stared back
as if to tell him
this was his fate.

He smiled as if to tell her
He never believed in fate
And this was his choice of death.

And then one more time
Her hand moved.
He smiled.
They looked at each other
With mutual agreement.

And then one last time
Her hand moved again
And then he closed his eyes for ever.
She wiped her tears
painting her face red with blood
And walked away
Feeling nothing
But relieved.

Smoky dark

"Don't utter a word
Don't ever show ur face"
Saying this he disconnected.

The room was dark
The bed was warm
With trembling hands
He reached for his pocket
Took out a cigrette
And lighted it with match
The room was closed
Full of smoke now.

He stared at nothing
He thought nothing

He simply wiped his tears
and smoked in dark.

Absolution

Wounded, he lie
Looking at the sky.
The pool of blood
reflected the whole world
and he lay in the middle
blocking the view.
Of the stars, of the moons.

The past blur,
The present in blood,
He gotup somehow
and fell back again.
The drops of blood
Splashing in the air
falling back again
Making him redder.

He got up again
and balanced himself.
Slowly, he walked
over the corpses.
Slowly he walked
to the horizon.
Dripping with blood
Covered with dust.

This absolution was essential.

Crossroad

Standing on one side of the road
He waited for the traffic
to slow
so that he can cross the road

He then noticed an old women
with thick....very think glasses
standing there....beside him
to cross the road...

He thought if he should
lend his hand
and help her
cross the road.

And then the traffic slowed down.


At office...he was busy
with work
then he had lunch
and then some more work
And then in the evening
he thought of leaving
for home.
But before that
he thought of
checking news online
to know what all
are happening in the city
that he lives in
and then
he saw
a picture
of the same road
that he crossed
in the morning
with some blood.
The news mentioned
that an old lady had died
while crossing the road.

Half Pant

The father took his sons
and his wife
for bying
new clothes.

The elder son
a 5 yr old
wanted full trouser
Which was turned down
By the parents
Who were
adamant
on half pant.

The kid said again
It's full pant
that he wants
No more.
No less.
As tears rolled down his cheek
He was bought a half pant.

He could never forget
How his request was turned down.
By his own parents.

But as he grew up
He realized
It was not that
his parents wanted
to force him
wear the half pant
But that
they had money
Just enough for the half pant.

Existential Crisis!!

The earth looks so different
From space
that i once got confused
while seeing one such view
that wheter I belong there

The space looks so different
From earth
that I once got confused
while seeing one such view
that whether I belong there.

I'll take care Dude!!

If You there....
Don't bother about me
Don't even wink
I'll take care.
You have already done enough.
You have your hands full
With so many things
I'll eat with my own hands.
And live my own life.
Dont worry bout me
and thanks for being there.
Till this time.
Others need You more than I do.
Go ahead and do Ur duty
I'll take care.
BBye.

Laugh

What makes you think
That I'm not enjoying
That I'm not happy.
Okay I dont laugh.
So what?
I've never laughed.
Can someone be unhappy
without break
For all his life.
No right.
This itself proves
That everything is right
If not perfect.

Drops.

Staring in the infinity
Till eternity
The tiniest particle
gains mass
slowly and steadily
some more particles
gather around
to give it more mass
And shape.
Though small in size
It bears heavily on heart,
mind and soul
And slowly that mass
starts rolling down
and then they become easy
One after another,
They roll down the cheek
As if they would never stop
Until they see
someone they long for.

Historic battle

Didnt eat for the whole day
Just practiced with the swords
One in the left
and one in the right hand
Fighting against each other
Didnt sleep in the night as well
Just did the practice
As the next day
There was this big fight
The fight which
would decide it all.

Started for the war venue
Before the dawn
Was there on the the ground
All dressed up
for the big occasion
Both the hands were already wounded
During the practice
But that was a sign...
of bravery and preparedness.
Standing tall I waited for the enemies
To arrive.
And fight the historic battle
Which would settle
for once and for all
Who is the winner.

They never arrived.
The only other thing
on the battle ground
apart from me
was my shadow
Fighting against me
And then I realised
What have I made out of myself
- an enemy!
whose only motive is..
To fight against me.
To destroy my being
To win against me.

Pain

My eyes are paining
Probably I need to weep
to fix the pain
Probably I need some tears
To wipe away the pain
Probably I need to see someone
To soothe the pain

But one thing I know for sure is
I need to forget the pain
To let it go away.

Leave me alone

Lemme tell you somethin today
That I hate you from the 1st day.

Lemme tell you somethin today
That I love you from the 1st day.

Lemme ask you somethin today
Please leave me alone
Please clear my way.

Money

I need money
I want money
Only two things matter
Money
and Money.
If this doesn't sound like poem
then to hell with poem.
And if you think it's about money
then it was never about money.

Roarrr....

One more day is about to be over
One more second just passed away.
But what I forget, is the start.
One more evening is about to start
One more night lies ahead.
One life still survives.
Raring to go
Roaring to kill.

You drift away...

My kite is cut and is drifting away
And I've ocean in the way.
Starvation has made me weak
But I wanna run
and I dash for her.

I take a raft
And on waves I sway
The ocean gives way.
I cry and row
But my kite is flying away.

She reaches an island
And dances in the air
I cry so loud
That the wind stops
And there she drops.
Just in front of me
Staring at me with tearful eyes.

I bend to pick her up
But someone stops me
And pushes me away.
And I notice the threads
dangling in his hand.
One end going straight
to my kite ... my life

I step back and laugh
To hell with rhyme and rhythm
To hell with poetic flow
And I roar and laugh.
As it starts to snow.

He knocks me so hard
that I fall back in the raft
The wind and the wave
Push me back.
Back to my shack.

I see from a distance
The kite resting
on the stranger's shoulders
Sleeps peacefully, looks cute
And is lead to the his castle
Which I could never afford.

And then suddenly cloud thunders
And the wind whispers
And the waves roar
All tell me the same thing
I never deserved her.

I'm back to my place
Where nothing is left.
The shack is missing.
There is no water
No food...no her.

I lie down still
eating some snow
Drinking some wine.
Thinking of her
And drinking some more wine.
Don't ask me where the wine came from
I just felt like drinking.
And like a true lover
It was there.
To be drunk.
To make me drunk.

Being Drowzy

Feeling drowsy again
Not tired, not fatigued
No dope no grass
Just drowsy
Why I feel so, I donno
May be because
I hurt someone
I never wanted to.
May be I cheered someone
I never wanted to.

Something somewhere
Is not right
I can see it’s still night
Or may be I just cannot see the light!!
Fighting with my fears
Fighting with my tears
I lie down still
With drowsy eyes
Unable to sleep
Unable to weep.

Volcano

No body knows where the lava is!
No body knows if the volcano is dead
or just simply dormant.
I come here on morning walk
Expecting some change!
But there is nothing
That is different
from the previous day.
But I still come as a habit
or with hope...
That the lava may come out.
The volcano may erupt.
Changing the country...
Turning the side!

Life!

With gals all around,
Dancing on the ground.
I thought if this is the life!
Well, then to hell with life.

With booze all around
Background with the noisy sound
air filled with smoky hell.
I thought if this is the life!
Well, then to hell with life.

Tip-Tip of the keyboard
Coding and conferencing
And getting a hike!
I thought if this is the life!
Well, then to hell with life.

Waking in the morning
With the bed tea by side
and wife saying "gudmorning honey"
I thought if this is the life!
Well, then to hell with life.

Living like an obedient child
Doing what the guardians dictate
And doing everything correct
Right in the first go.
I thought if this is the life!
Well, then to hell with life.

Life is not hell
I still hope
And it's not one of the above
I'm sure.

No Love Here!!

Some one please tell them
Not to disturb me again.
Someone please tell them
I'm not human.

People sing and dance
All night along.
I drink and sleep
With no complaints.

Then they come
and be kind and sweet
And try to take away your heart.

But Someone please tell them
I dont have a heart.

Confuzion

So many thoughts running concurrently
One entangled in other
So many thought planes
intersecting each other
So many mirrors
reflecting on each other.
Family, friends, girlfriends
Office colleagues, beggars
Celebrities, Stars, Models
All overlappng on one another.
Forests, Oceans, Deserts
Making a biosphere.
Then and there.
Trying to pick different strings
I get confused

Sand Castle

The dark little kid
Says nothing but looks
at me in awe.
I come close
to the tattered barefoot boy
And offer him some pop corn.
He smiles back
But refuses to accept
My favour
And busies himself back
to making the sand castle
That he had been working on
for quite some time.
I look at him in awe
not daring to disturb him again
from building his dream.
Forget about me...
Even the Ocean stops
just short of him
when the boy stares
at the ocean
with his dark dreamy eyes.
