CAVE OF TIME

The Skeletons in my closet

The Skeletons in my closet

    

When I explored the history

somewhere in the cave of time.

Though not too long ago, it was

for a story in its prime.


Treadin’ along the stony walls

Through the darkness I strife.

Hand-in-hand with the memories of you,

Our past I bring to life.


With the twinkling of light ahead

I let my senses get rewind.

Reach far end at the root of cave

Our friendship we left behind.


Picked the threads with utmost care

To form our friendship band

A second chance was all I wanted,

Before I left you and this land.


Cave exploded in the warmth we shared

And brought brightness our way.

I let the shadows of past escape

When again we are friends today.


Though, its time to say goodbye

And finally, we do part.

Oh, dear! its loving memories of you 

I’ll carry, so close to my heart.

The Skeletons in my closet

The Skeletons in my closet


I preach the undeniable, as I pray not to be denied 

I scout the forbidden terrain, while I hope, not being spied. 

There’re apprehensions in every mind, for the unspoken 

We vehemently bat for the truth, wishing we’re never lied.


Honesty is honesty, even with an act of omission. 

Psychological violence ain’t violence, if the hand isn’t risen

We live in an age of relative truth, we bend ‘n’ fold ‘n’ obscure 

And keep our closets tightly shut for the fear of tumbling skeletons.

LIMITLESS SKY

The Skeletons in my closet

LIMITLESS SKY



Free the mind of afflictions 

of mediocrity 

The already accomplished mundane routines 

The shackles that hold you back in archives

The Success by practicing the repetitive  

Grow the wings for the flight, a limitless sky awaits. 


Literacy is just means for learning 

An education, a process for acquiring knowledge. 

Knowledge is to acknowledge what’s accomplished & what’s left undone. 

And that’s where the journey of exploration begins. 

Don’t stagnate at the bottom of the pyramid of Cerebral equity. 

Grow the wings for the flight, a limitless sky awaits.

SELF-DEFENCE

Lonely; In A Busy Street

LIMITLESS SKY


Expand the horizons of your thought process 

The perspective of your detectors might make some sense. 

Let the velocity of circumstances take you along, when stuck

It might give the momentum to your life now ’n’ hence. 


Colliding with precedents; not so rational as always

When your chips are down, better sit by the fence. 

Listen & pay attention, what’s there on offer 

An offence-less you at times is your best defence.

Lonely; In A Busy Street

lonely busy street poem poetry endless

    

“Walking down the alley, 

after a day’s busy work,

stress lines creased my forehead

the stomach growled at the neglect,

I shushed the monster

Promising a sumptuous meal 

Mind still muddled with unfinished business

I headed home, in long strides

After; everyone had left.

That’s the price of hard work

We load ourselves with every passing day.

Alone; in a peopled office.


Turned the key to my doorway

So gently, not to disturb the family, I so love

I remind myself, it was for their greater good

I strive and survive each toiling day

I hear the soft snores, oh so satisfying 

And smile; at least someone was contented

As I laboured day and night.

I check out the kitchen

And turn on the microwave, like always.

But turning it off midway, a routine now

The hunger taking over the wait for a warmer meal.

Tomorrow, will treat you better, tell my starved stomach

I gulp down the morsels,

Alone; in the house, my loved ones lived.


I head quietly to the shower

Soothing the fray nerves

I resign to the warm gush of water,

taking over the hurt and pain.

Tomorrow, I promise to myself

I’ll do better at work and get home sooner

And just as I were to hit the bed

The phone rings loudly, a ritual for years now.

The better half cringes in sleep

And I get the message loud and clear

So I get out of the room, to appease 

The bloody team, working in another time-zone

Sapped and drained, a few hours left for another day

I drop down almost dead where I sat

Alone; at the end of the day.


I wake up to a bright and sunny day

Covered in a warm blanket,

I remember I’d forgotten to take.

I hear the rumblings of my children

Being cajoled to have their meal

Their mother rushing up and down

All ready; for their day at school

She picked up her car keys,

Instructing; my breakfast and tiffin was ready

I get up lazily and kiss them all, goodbye

A ritual; now on for years. 

So that, they remember, I’m the father

They see every morning before they leave.

I start my day, making me a cup of tea

Alone; I see the hustle-bustle as I stand in the balcony.


The rigmarole starts, just the same

The back trip the office, where the boss awaits.

Is it ever enough, the work we do night and day

Trouble-shooting for others, we leave ourselves nowhere.

Are you indispensable, I want to question myself

But the paycheck at the end of each month

Keeps my mouth shut.

A faceless person, that’s all we are to the system

No one will miss you; once you are gone.

But we go on, thinking about everything, but us

Because, that’s how life goes, along.

It’s just the bills, we live, to pay for,

No one knows, who’s getting and enjoying the proceeds.

We go on and on and on

Lonely; in a busy street.

Lonely; In A Busy Street

Lonely; In A Busy Street



  

A cold glass of water 

on a hot summer day,

An elixir for a parched throat, 

one might say.

But, as the temperatures plummet; 

a crazy winter

The same cold glass of water 

turns untouchable.


The high mountain peaks, 

the lofty sky

The rush of youth, and limitless, 

we fly

There comes a time, 

when age does catch,

Realization, the adventure certainly feels unreachable.


Those our own, the relationships 

we share,

Some we love, others 

we genuinely care,

But it ain’t always honkey-dory when things go south

Should we give up when one’s unapproachable?


It only teaches, situations; 

oh so volatile

And changes; 

seasonal, diurnal or circumstantial

So long, we retain 

the rational of thoughts

Adapt, recuse or pursue, 

the choices we make,

Must neither be 

implausible nor unacceptable? 

Whims Of MAN

A Relationship gone by

A Relationship gone by

    

The oblique magnificence of nature

transected by the whims of man. 

A wishful effort to tame the wilderness, 

so long as nature plays along! 


The gushing waters of the dam, 

the carved out serpentine roads 

applaud the human efforts 

while still preserving the brilliance of the highlands. 


But would the human greed

For more and more prevail 

To burrow the womb of earth

To extract all we could.


Plundering the resources 

A baton of inheritance, 

an heirloom for future generations

We leave our race bankrupt of empathy

And, of the life-support 

Like there’s no tomorrow.


A few pebbles of blood-diamond

Some oxy-bars; chopped for currency stacks

Ecstatic at our riches; we buy ventilators

To get that extra lease of life; a few gushes of air.


And that’s when we remember, 

if those trees weren’t chopped; 

to feed our currency hunger

And that earth wasn’t mined

To constrict our throats with strings of diamond

We might be alive; without the ventilators; 

a human innovation for air

that nature had provided in abundance

for generations to survive.

A Relationship gone by

A Relationship gone by

A Relationship gone by

The harsh reality of a relationship gone sour,

It takes you down, when you try too hard

The greener pasture from this side 

of the fence

But a thorny, graveled patch; if you ever cross the yard.


The aura seems to elude, surprisingly, when, sit across

The heartaches, so painfully precious, would lose the gravitas 

The unfulfilled dream, today, would never wish, came true

A shadow of the distant past; the vestiges, burnt and charred. 


It’s the euphoria, must cherish, the Me-time-indulgence

A near-orgasmic pleasure of thoughts, a sinful diffidence 

A gratifying tribute to the dead and gone, pay obeisance 

The mantra; try not to forget, indulge, revel and just discard.

Time is the Tide

That comes only once

So make every moment useful


Time is the Incentive

That God gives you

To enjoy all that’s beautiful


Time is the Money

If we value it

One can use it as one needs


Time is the Earnings

Of a lifelong struggle

A reward of all your deeds.

REMEMBERING

  

Remembering is heart’s own way

Of rewinding, the threads of memories

And shaking them free of the dust

The Dust of Time


Remembering is heart’s own wish

To bring the shadows of past alive

Before they disappear in the mist

The Mist of Time


Remembering is heart’s own gesture

To look back to the shores once combed

Before they’re washed off with the tides

The Tides of Time


Remembering is heart’s own pleasure

To feel the warmth again

Before, engulfed in the clouds

 The Clouds of Time


Remembering is the heart’s own tragedy

Be reminded of the pain of loss

Before the time heals the wounds

The Wounds of Time

Driving down the memory lane

Rewinding the hands of time

In the era we merged together

Dwell on the beauty of my past


I pull out a handful of marbles

Of each ‘n’ every loving thought


Run to the places, I admire

Cling to the people, I adore

In the relationships, I cherish

Among the friends, forever to last


Then I become aware of each marble 

Telling a story of its own

Bathing in the pool of affection

Each friend of mine ‘s shown


I bring back the life in shadows

Our fading emotions still cast

With strife, I venture back to reality

To the uncertainty, I ran from


With shaking hands, I put back all

The marbles & tighten the strings

Of my memory bag

To see me through another journey

Down the memory lane

I hold it close to my Lonely Heart.

FOREVER

TRUE LOVE

MARBLES OF MEMORY

  

Doesn’t it feel like yesterday?

When we were herded together

Converging from all extremes

Joining under one shelter

And I asked myself

‘Do I want this, Forever?’


Nurturing a strange feeling

Of a sudden alienation

Though glued to the crowd

Still fostering the separation

And I asked myself

‘Would it be this, Forever?’


Inhibitions slipped away

We began to know each other

Amidst the tiffs & fun times

Just happened to grow closer

And I asked myself

‘Would I like this, Forever?’


People we met as strangers

Got them for our friend

A smile, a pat, a hug, when need

With a shoulder to lend

 And I asked myself

‘Do I deserve this, Forever?’


Today when we stand together

In happiness & gay

Just to realize, it’s time

For us to be pulled away

And I ask myself

‘Would I miss this, Forever?’


At the threshold of leaving

One another with a pain

We part with a wish in heart

Somewhere we meet again

Today I know for myself

‘I’ll remember this, Forever?’ 


Tomorrow it will be over

Life might just seem in shamble

But the moments we spent together

Are Eternal & Indelible

And, I pledge to myself

‘I’ll cherish this – Forever!’

So fresh as new dawn

Perfuming from heaven above

So deep as ocean Pacific

The feelings of True Love


As pleasant as a cool eve

Seems rare as a chance

Colorful like a rainbow

Beloved single glance


So thrilling as a streaming river

Increasing the heart beat

Exciting as some winning

When, for first time thee meet


Aimless as a horse run

Alone in a busy mart

As gloomy as a cloudy night

Life, when he’s far apart


Endless as a circle

Charming as the blooming flowers

A ray of hope in darkness

The joys, of waiting hours.

BREAKFREE

TRUE LOVE

TRUE LOVE

  

From a world close ‘n’ compact

Set afoot to gauge the rest

To the landscapes undiscovered

To the depths, those are unsaid.


Nurturing a burning desire

Searching for the new horizons

A foothold, before astray being

A prey to the festering demons


Tending to the wounds of heart

Walking on tight string

Just as I was to give up

Heard an inner voice screaming


The right ‘n’ wrong ‘s all there

Open your eyes & see

Taking backseat won’t help

You gotta stand tall & break free. 


It’s the two-way play for life

If dignity, you rate a must

An era of blatant realities

And blunt truth, now rust.


Good’s good no more

Your mettle, you gotta prove

Fair or evil come what may

Your status’s what they approve.


So life’s no fun in the sun

Gotta bear the burns ‘n’ heat

‘coz once you set out leading

Behind you the world repeats.


Though, it’s lonely at the top

But if, still nurture the desire

Hold on to morals once valued

Rekindle the extinguishing fire


It’s about time you shot back

For miseries of the primitive hour

Change is what system needs now

So, do it when you have the power.


Before millions go through the ordeals

Your dying principles had to face

To redeem your deprived conscious

And that’s how you’ll finally BREAKFREE.

Sometimes in the noisy masses

So lonely does she feel

Eyes, looking for friendly glimpses

For someone, the lips appeal.


A world of fun ‘n’ laughter

Still makes her feel aloof

Abscessed & shattered individuality

Gives damaging thoughts a roof.


Killing the self in distress

But does pretend to live

Caresses, for the glooms of heart

Sunshine, for the world to give.


Frolics done tale of past

Relations ’ve lost the relevance

Away from the norms of life

Digging a grave of silence

A woman is like a cigarette

Lighted, smoked & left.

To burn in soot to ashes

Or crushed miserably to cleft.


Individuals die once

She dies dawn to eve

Commends the manly power 

But in turn is put to grieve.

 

Her heart is full of love

Not everyone can brace

More often, looked ‘n’ embraced for 

Her physical charm & grace.

 

For ages, she’s been treated

As a thing merely of sex

Her soul ‘n’ spirit ‘n’ psyche

Overpowered by the Rex.


She’s a woman, she’s a man

From the woman, for the woman

But it’s still tough for her 

To understand this inhumane.

Saw a guy wandering

In the lane of a pretty gal

Approaching for her friendship

Took her to above of all.


Innocent beauty flushed

‘n’ drew a facial frown

The blue of eyes twinkled

Floated the hair brown.


After some no’s & not’s 

Agreed the poor fellow

Driving the youth on thorns

Still dreaming of the willow.


In the sun ‘n’ in the cloud

Enjoyed the warmth of heart

A day in sheer insanity

Her passions, to him she lost.


Love’s there no more

Sights have sweepingly changed

She’s now seen in agony

And he’s got estranged.


In grief ‘n’ out of distress

Led to the way of death

Stunned, saw him in another lane

The poor Lost her Breath.

Whenever I sit idle

& Begin to think of past

I wonder why those days

Of carelessness couldn’t last.


How the joys of my life

Changed their coursing way

Imparting me new endeavors

New dreams & a different day.


Carefree laughter ceased

Coy smiles took the place

Ignorant expressions faded

Shyness, had it replace.


Youth, someway came closer

As a stranger, could barely realize

How the feelings of young heart

Someone somehow defies.


Today when I compare 

The days of past ‘n’ my present

Except MYSELF is nothing

That can be put adjacent.

Or sitting leisure in a groove

I feel someone love me so much

Will the time ever approve? 


Ever looking for a chance

To give my dreams a little glance

I feel my passions fading

Waiting for a gentle romance.


Inhaling the air in wreaths

When the day ‘n’ night meets

I feel thee very close to me

A course of mingling breathes.


Trailing twigs hinder my pace

Or wind blows hair on my face

I feel thy touch so soft on me

Thy eyes on the hidden grace.


Oh! What I look for what I want

Some thoughts ever do me enchant

I feel, I think, I wish what so

The Destiny, ever would grant?

They made an association

To look out for distress women

For the ladies not aware 

Of self imposed inhumane.

They dressed well & came out

Of homes with a potent plea

Belonging to the upper crust

THE LADIES were thee.


They held their first meeting

In a five star restaurant

Enjoyed the luxury meals 

Amidst lights ‘n’ flower scent

Then came out simply laughing

Begged one for a bun ‘n’ tea

They sneered at the poor

A LADY was she.


Arranged for talks on the topic

On a lonely riverside

Had the best of time swimming

Meeting none could preside

One came close clad in rags

Had water, thirsty was thee

They all shouted in anger

A LADY was she.


Went once they on a drive

To a peaceful jungle park

In fun, went all the time

On the subject, no remark

Collided one in despair

For one that couldn’t see

They all jostled the poor

A LADY was she.


With a great pump ‘n’ show

For the work they got reward

Praises fell showering on them

The society did applaud

Stunned, when listened the distressed

Wanted, go in & see

At the gate, knocked out by keeper

A LADY was she.
