The lies we tell each other

Under the blanket of modesty and etiquette

Who follows them when

One is burning in longing

To crush lips and rip off the shield

The heart hides in?

Who follows rules when

Rage consumes the brain to lash at

And take the last breath of life in one's hand

We love living in dramas secretly

And pretend to be discreet

And ever changing masks to cover the scars...

Being casting director, seems to be

A very rewarding work

For us and everyone out of egg

Secretly I vote for the cave man

It's very stressful

To be in love for eternity

With two, at the same time...

So I take time out

To cheat my feelings

That things can be different

With yet another temperament

In another story

Of a stranger's life!

I realize, at the end everytime I flirt with life

That it is not being in love

That I love so much ;

It is the surprise

Of realizing..

I'm falling deep down the pit

The thing called love

Eating me up like a hungry whale...

Some things are good only

When it can't last long,

Eternity is boring

When one can play roles,

Different everytime,

Knowing that the real game is on, elsewhere,

I was there ..

Soaking in the morning dew,

Sitting on the wetness,

Tears have dried though

Bleeding heart does not stop

Repeating anxious moments

I waited for you

In my empty bed;

Not in hope to be undressed slowly,

But in eager antipitation

Of unwrapping my soul

That I dared to give you

As a gift of foreverness…

And foreverness you gifted me

Leaving my torn ripped shreds

In tears for you

In vain

Hoping that you take a glance

At what lies

Under the covers

---------------

When tired and down

Walking about the town

Laying down to see the sky

Does it think of pouring down?

Make me wet not in tears

For joy has no bounds

No chains, no fears..

Tired legs not tired mind

And eyes that can see behind

Just stopping by

Just dropping a little sunshine

Here and there, on the way

In this day.

Someday someone may come

Walking along the same

And lay down for a rest

I am keeping my heart beats for others

To hear and be alive on scorchy summers

And cling to for warmth in winter nights

That which lights

The broken glass pane of the lonely house

At the end of the road..

I have rested there in comfort

Of mosquitoes, spiders,rats and a groaning toad

Making me at peace with the dust

The road calls again

And there go, I must!

—————————

Don't say you want me..

I am still in my wrinkles

I did not break out of my shell yet..

You have not seen my colors

Nor felt my breath,

My stardust sparkles have not settled in your eyes yet

And my gravity did not pull you

Wait till we meet between the galactic bedsheets

My depth will darken your deepest fantasies

And light up your soul without the mornings

Chase me and you will be lost

Let me chase you and you will lose yourself

Into the realms of forbidden worlds

Don't say you want me

Unless you are ready to mix your blood with mine

Unless you are also ready..

To break your shell

And take a walk with me

Along the path of the rainbow..

Till then,

———————

Mornings come and go

Leaving their sheen on wary faces

Run in the speed of light..

Echoes the wary faces

Wanting to fly

Like birds in morning sky

But my wings are in pain

And I lay in vain

Till I call upon the night

Under the blazing sun

And draw upon my shadow

The twilight of the wary faces,

To morning, I send goodbye kisses

Not for me, the brighter today

Eyes hurt a lot

And they feel hot

As I try to blink

As I try to think

If now this moment

The sky could sparkle cool

Like snowfall in the heavens up there

I could only be happy

To gaze on, be lazy

The color of the wary faces

Chase me throughout the day

----------

A faint gold lurking

At the horizon distant past

A hint of sunrise

On the silver strands of the wise

Those thousands wrinkled lines of stardust

From the deep

A sound is heard

Quieter than silence, and

Sweeter than bird

Porcelain eyes have seen it all

Before the rise ever so planned

Made it to the theatre long before

Rehearsed it over and over to perfection

Before the wrinkles got tanned

From the deep

Came a whiff of sigh

That went round and round and round

And as low as high

Lines of wisdom

Lines of kingdom

From sigh to sheath

From whiff to breath

From the deep

Risen a deeper manifesto

'Risen'

From the deep

————

Of cheerful laughter, and pain in the bones

A picture of dual tones...

Broken child in growing years

Half in rage, half in fears,

True inside the King's heart

Are secret worlds that are traveled part

Out of this world, a tiny hub

The Disneyland of mind's subarb

The King in his den

Looking out for his Queen hidden

Roaring away to the sky

Calling out to the Spirits passing by...

With twinkle in the eyes

Dreaming away, making ties,

Sparkling smiles as the hours sing...
