Scaring them away

Those listeners..

Amidst this

Solitude,

Whose voice is it now

Riding on delicate..

Waves of air

Dancing-

Like a seasoned performer

Whose gifting words..

That elegance

Of portraits,

Landing in my heart tonight

A messiah i so fear..

Her heartbeats be

A rare character!!

When in reality it has only just begun

Behold! A brand new world of realisation

Of gratitude, hope and benevolence

Where trees bloom to life and sway gently

Underneath which the clean rivers cry of joy

The whales look up to the sky and smile

For once, there is no fear, atleast for a while

The air is pure and pristine as a chapel

Sunlight welcomes us, bright and radiant

The peaks beam now from a distance

Earlier obscured by the haze of our misdeeds

The ozone hole now stitched itself too

The flora and faun floursihing anew

As for us, we now know which heroes to hail

Yes, the one in khakhi and in white coats

We learnt to spend time with ones we love

Rather than engaged in our busy worlds all day

And also began to give time to ourselves too

Our relations were deteriorating and so was our health too

And now we put our faith in God more than ever

Perhaps a miracle from Him is what we await

Its a rejuvenation of faith and self care

The earth's healing its wounds and so are humans

Strange how school's closed yet we all learn a lesson

Perhaps this is the lesson we needed the most

So lets take our time to be thankful and pray

For the ones we lost and for the one who are fighting

This is not the end and believe it wouldnt be

Its only after the storm that there shines a rainbow.

Tum Tuttey Huey Pathar Nahi;  Bhekey Huey Badal Ho.

Tum Samandar ki Leher Nahi; Ussey Khelne Wali Hawa Ho.

Tum Dor Kaha; Leherti Hue Patang Ho.

Tum Meri Khushi Nahi; Mera Khwab Ho.

Tumse Nazdikse Kya Milna; Durse Dekhneka Maza Tum Ho.

Tumhe Dar Kesa Khoneyka;  Kabhi Tumse Chahat hi Nahi Hue.

Tumhe Zarurat Bananeyki Khwahish Nahi Rakhi  Na Rakhengey; Bewajha Dil Ko Ruthaneki Adat Nahi Mujhe. 

I only paved the way to let it in

Tell me, would you still call it mine?

Dingy dark deserted alleys with jarring secrets alight

I ventured to the furthest one for I, ever in illusion

Couldn't perceive the howling winds as a premonition.

The journey was like walking down the lanes of past

Flashbacks like spirits apparate and leave me aghast

Who knew I'd lose myself when I'd reach the end

There I stood quivering, shattered, lost and broken

Like an oasis in desert, I found a shallow stream

I peeped in to see my reflection but it made me scream

In place of my visage, there stood these devils

Staring back at me, reckoning my evils

It was who I'd become inside, contemptuous and cold

Indifferece laced veins, tale contrary to my heroics told

The devil had comsumed my soul till it killed my conscience

There is no retreat for it controls my subconscious

Now there is no regret for my deeds nor reproach

A heartless beast with no care was my approach

I had sheltered my demons not knowing they fed on me

Now I run away from me only to run into me...
