HANDS

Some hands become treaties
that seal the fate of two nations
or the course of a river.
Some become weapons
against the creativity of a questioning child.
Some become fly swatters
during a summer political gathering.
The same become applause
at the end of a speech
and also a beggar's shame
at the traffic signal.
Hands, become starved deserts
and hands become goblets
that feed a parched soul.
A few become inkwells
that hold a pen all their lives.
Dancers to the music of words
lollipops, thermometers
gavels, sound amplifiers,
tools for teenage pleasure.
Amazement in a poetry night,
respect in the battlefield,
prayer in a temple,
followed by an offering,
and a blessing.
But, what is it,
pasted on all those hands?
Is it the weight of our destiny, or
merely depth of poetry
of Gods?

The Virtual Reality

The picture haunts, the laughter dies
Her smile just there, now crosses miles
Her sparkling eyes, now sparkle more
Pearls drop, they scatter, his laughter roars
Reflexes strong, she battles her foe
A lost war, her instincts show
Yet she tries, yet she fights
Bruised, torn by the mighty blow
Blinded, confused she gropes for her pride
She would no longer become her fiancé’s bride
Her future bleak
Her strength weak, rationality playing hide and seek
Fear, anguish haunt her mind
In life, no solace she can find
She dares to lose, one more time, this time however with a smile
Her soul from body does depart
While her soul in heaven gets caught, her mutilated body is left to rot….

Tell me

I cry, I laugh
I still don’t know where to start
The moistness of my eyes no one can see
Tell me
How you took away the smile of me eyes
Tell me
Why without you I fail to rise

I pray, I hate
I hope to end the miseries
You left me alone with the moon and the stars
Tell me
How could you betray my love so pure
Tell me
Why is it a disease with no cure

I care, I love
I look around for my lost destination
I wish to hold your hand again
Tell me
How should I forget that charming face
Tell me
Why am I still living in this pointless chase

I know, I learn
I searched for the start
When you gave me the end
Tell me
How to live without you
Tell my
Why this is the price I pay for love true?

Why Me?????

Every passing moment reminds me of my fear,
The memories have passed with every drop of tear,
I am losing myself with time,
I must have committed a heinous crime.

I asked God what was my fault,
Why is happiness so had to find,
I am still waiting for my answer,
Till then the life is in the tunes of misery dancer.

Love resembles the beauty of life,
But I wonder today if it could ever revive,
The sadness and emptiness that grips me eyes,
Lost in the darkness I lay out my hand,
Hoping that the gloom would shed with some magic wand.

Ahead I find an empty street,
The familiar faces but still an unknown greet,
The turns of life have left me with no hope,
Hope of filling my eyes again with the love as pure as dove,
And while I sit alone and think,
As to why my life changed in just a wink,
Why did it become I from WE,
Thus I ask you again WHY ME....

Lonely Road

Passing by the lanes of life,
Wondering what i did was right,
Took the path that people showed,
I was walking on the lonely road...

I forgot the fragrance of the rose,
While travelling up the mountains high,
Freshness of the dew unknown,
All I could do was just moan,
Questions of the soul torture me,
About my needs and about my deeds,
Still i am walking all alone,
All the way on the lonely road...

Desperate for affection, love and care,
Longing for someone besides me,
Afraid of my own shadows in day,
Not a ray of hope in my way,
I lost faith, I never won,
But I knew I had to run,
All along the lonely road...

With watery eyes, I would love to share,
My sorrows, my pains, my needs and fears,
My hands reach out in the dark,
Only to find my life apart
My head and heart still keep me going,
On the thorny route of the lonely road...

I wish I never had begun,
My miseries don't seem to end,
Desires and wishes will soon be dead,
But I continue as my soul had vowed,
To walk along the lonely road....!!!!
