I Am

I am the winter water
you are reluctant to feel
once u let me in
i will only heal
your pains and sorrows
i will steal

I am the iron
You have to trust
Be a magnet to me
Before I rust
You need to go deep
To know what I feel feel
Coz my words may smell of lust

I am the planet
Who knows not to stop
Be my star
Not the sun
Leaving me in the dark
Who prefers to go for a run
I may turn my face away
Only to find you the star
Showing me the way

On Your Birthday

On your birthday

To THE ALMIGHTY I pray

People carrying shades of grey

Wish away from you they stay

May the life come to you as clay

You mould it your way

Life's a chess game

So enjoy and play

May the showers of blessings 

They rain down on you

May the happiness

Stay like the glue

How to hurt you

May no one get the clue

Sorrows be the dwarfs

Who never grew

Lots in the heart

But for the words so few

Here's me wishing

A very happy birthday to you

In Stature To Nature

In this world of concrete
Nature's taken for granted
Considered obsolete
Nature is the truth
Devoid of which
The honest Me is incomplete

Like the sand so grey
All will slip away
Nature is what will stay
As memories
Till the last day

Eyes with sunshine
Lips like a petal
Rosy cheeks
Fire enough to melt metal
From the snow
Teeth win the white battle
Even they don't settle
Like the ever humming air
Yeah the curls of your hair

Rivers trees
Mountains and lowland
May be they stand
As nature to the land
But no less than the nature
You stand in stature
Thanks to this maniac
Now you are a literature

The Penultimate Day

The Setting Sun
The Birds flying away
Have just one thing to say
You are around
For the penultimate day

No time is enough
To make you listen
What Heartbeats have got to say
May be some other day
A similar leafy way
When the time
Won't keep us at bay

I beg you
Give me a moment
I swear you won't lament
Through the eyes
To my soul
Want to imbibe you
As a whole

As always
For you
My heart will yearn
In your pursuit
I'll take any turn
I'm yours
Keep that in mind
Mad for you
I've gone blind
Every place you move
Will see me behind

Like the dice
The days will roll
I Wish for me
Exists a number
Exists a day
That dicey fate will roll
when towards you
I will stroll

A Writer Is Born

When your words 

Get no ear

Eyes throw a Pearl

I call Tear

Away from the lights

Alone you mourn

There And Then 

A Writer Is Born

When the world is fast

Like the beast with Horn

And you move slow

Like the Worm

When yourselves you question

Why for me

Defeats Setbacks are the norm

There And Then

A Writer Is Born

When for your Rose

You are nothing but a Thorn

You look for someone

To sew you up

When inside and out

You are torn

When you collect yourself

After the Storm

There And Then 

A Writer Is Born

The well within

With feelings emotions

Is filled up to the Brim

Chances of taking more in

They are too grim

When all from the inside

Out on a paper 

Gets thrown

There and Then

A Writer Is Born

I Never Got

You are the birthday present
I never got
Lost in the dark
That late night thought
That sold out bike
I once bought
Trying to erase from my tee
That red ink blot
The decades old wine
Went down the throat
An autumn leaf
Will stay afloat
A broken dream
on the trot
Turned to tumour
Once a clot
Era of life
That means a lot
I Behaved blindfolded
when walked or thought

I Won't Stay

I went down the hill
Till the river made me still
For a while
I sat still
Her thoughts in mind
Was trying to kill

Looked down at the running water
Yeah she moved away
Not staying still
May be at will
May be she tried
But for the life which never will

I took a vow
Won't take it on heart
Will be the river
Making a fresh start
Strings won't make me stay
Will reach my goal without a delay
People will come
People will go
Places will come
But won't stop the show

Life's on
Why to pause play
Any one that may want
May come my way
Coz from now on
I won't stay

Hostel Diaries: To See You Smile

Everyday Through The Parking Lot
I walk that Extra Mile
Just to see you smile

I wish I could carry on
For the whole day long
But for these damn lectures
I can do this only for a while

With due respect to
The eyes that twinkle
And that cute dimple
I jump to the conclusion
Without the slightest of confusion
If its an illusion
That mightier than the pen
That mightier than the sword
Is your smile
Coz mine pen that stays still
During the lectures
Has left impressions over a mile
Just to sing your smile

You Never Paid Heed

Those words behind my silence
You could neva read
For to the eyes
Behind the glasses
You never paid heed

All i needed was
Some words in return
A little bit of ur concern
A chance
A moment
When towards me
You take a turn
Now, all I have got
Is a heartburn

To hell or to heaven
Wherever time will lead
A single thought of u
Will make my heard bleed
Like all humans
I used to read
More than the words
Are the actions that speak
My notions
My obligations
Prevented from the deed

Those unspoken words
To myself I will speak
The heart will burn
Maybe the eyes will weep
The burden of breaths
would never let me sleep

The Saviour Mom

My saviour mom
I cry for u
Whatever U've gone through
Some were ignorant
Some were rude
Some hurled abuse
U stood the ground
For I was the one
U never wanted to lose

From those houses
We moved to our home
Through the struggle
When treated as objects to juggle
Fought it all alone
Till I turned from a pebble to stone

Under the roof of our home
We fought the quake
We fought the storm
It did subside
But not for this tide

Am on a journey
With bend after bend
Perhaps it would only end
From home to our castle
When i will ascend
I have distanced myself
From those
Who won't be forgotten
Who won't be forgiven
It may not be close
But i can envision
The day of judgement
 ALMIGHTY chosen
Wound for wound will be given
Bring peace for us
The vengeance thriven

The Last Rites

In my mind
Some memories in flashes
Some bitter
Some sweet
Having clashes
Having breathed your last
I burnt you to ashes
All possibilities
All hopes
they went up with the fumes
witnessed the rift:
what happens
and what man assumes

Looking at the ash
wondered if it was the end
but came the weekend
Offered the ash to the stream
that very night
I had a dream
Voice gave a threat
that it is'nt over yet
then I saw
the ash away with the flow
high and low
to a place we know
the one I could see
yes it was the sea

This did'nt stop there
was the SUN
shining up there
towards it
under the glow
the ash began to flow
Again came the thought
that THIS IS IT
It was not though

Eyes felt the strain
I woke up to the rain
I let each drop on me
did not refrain
got you back in me
said the sweet pain
    R.I.P Dad

Through The Eyes Of A Blind

Lost in the crowd
  am left behind
Yeah am blind
The day doe'snt bring light to me
   everything's black
There ain't a color for me

With the stick in hand
I   walk   into   the   city
  Voices turning slow
  laughter losing flow
Tell am being looked at with pity
In around the city
I endorse the brand pity

Each step I take
 is a giant leap
For may end into a gorge so deep
 May force some press beep
It seems I walk in senses
 but ask the darkness
I walk as if in sleep

Within the world
There's a farm of my own
Where seeds of love
   I have sown
Neither by looks
Nor by what they wear
 The way they care
 Their words that I hear
The time they spend
The patience at their end
It's by the Lord that I swear
To me they are dear

That WELL Within

Deep within me is a WELL:
   A well full of pain
Through buckets of eyes
     mine self tries
To fetch and throw out
Day after day
Again and again
  what you know as tears
    The water full of pain

So the buckets have turned rusty
     The voice a lil husky
The expression of smile on me:
    it's still there
But   for   the   feeling
  which is nowhere

These   are'nt   enough
enough are'nt my words
Tried sharing with hills
   whispered to water
Expressed myself pulling the throttle
  Don't want to open a bottle

I've started shouting on wall
Though am not on a call
   hollow and alone
I talk to my phone

Looking for a way
 with the 'WELL' emptied
I want to stay
Happily some days do pass
  before I have that FALL
Wanna  get   rid   of   this   soon
  for upon me it'll take its toll

Defining Life

Life is a cave
you try not to be
it's slave
The more you try
the more it makes you cry
still be on the move
with the hope
that for some light
there's always a scope

Meanwhile, some bats that surround
they just hover around
to put me back
down to the ground
Out of their mind
they are themselves blind
the fact that I'll make it
jealous and baffled
they are never kind

With each encountered bend
I sense some light
but it turns out to be a mirage
the end being out of sight

I disarm myself
ready to surrender
but the vengeance
hidden under
flashes out with accompanying thunder
I start again
with the thought
that not giving a try
would be a blunder

On and On
is this cycle of dark and light
So I do fall but get up and fight
with the goal in sight
I keep it tight
for the fact that
I deserve the light

The Decision

Decided to move forth
as you did'nt realise my worth
Still remem the road
not to forget the bend
you called me a friend
Never knew before
the cheapest way to end
All I intend is
to convey at your end
that on friendship
I talk of you as a blot
that's the way you'll stay
In my thought

Now comes the final stitch
hey you are
a bigtime bitch
who in my dreams
haunts like a witch
You learnt only to play
your hobby being to ditch
to you love means nothing
as you want someone rich

The Unanswered Me

These mysterious eyes
they ask an unknown question
Now the curious me
dives deep into the sea
The deeper I dive
the more am lost
Unanswered yet inquisitive
I'm left
by you the host

Inculcated in me is
a desire
a wish
to drink from your eyes
like a fish

Your smiling face
happy and refreshed
it does make me feel
All my foes
All my woes
it does make me leave
May call it the zeal
the medicine to heal
blessed and lucky
it does make me feel

The Need For A Heart

I just forget
that you need have a heart
to love the way I do
To care the way I do
You never really know
that I put it all on stake
The pain that I take
to bring that curve
back on your face
No words to tell
how happy does it make

Blessed I am
May be you are
that we came this far
all my things
I call them our
Away from all
We got to spend this hour
At times you do hurt
like a thorn
but you'll still be my flower
that cool monsoon shower

You broke it again
the promise that you made
Wonder you just make it
to break
Or you just want to
see my tears fill a lake

The Unsung Beggar

My love for you
makes me recall
that I have been a beggar
who was ready
with his blessings
waiting for you to toss some alms
into his empty palms
Would have accepted them
as a cloud full of love
prayed for you before
 the ONE sitting above

Always in your smile
i found an answer
I saw a hope
with all my wounds
will be able to cope
But, the laugh you had
It put a full stop

I knew I'll be forgotten
the way you forget your word
I won't be recognized
like the sheep in herd
will cross unnoticed
like the thirsty bird

Like the wheels of your drive
I carry the weight
The burden of losing you
to someone higher in state
The pain of defeat
that blot of failure
Will always hide
the fact that
I tried showing some valour

Rosy Geek

Amongst  the  girl  geeks
     I look for the one
 with   the   rosy   cheeks!

Your   captivating   eyes
   make me have sighs
The    specs    you    wear
   they act as a shield
to    the    cupid    vibes
     your eyes yield!

Wearing  that  top  with  zebra  stripes
   you look like those cute types
You are the reason that am always keen
      to hang out with buddies
            near the Canteen!

If    the   sea   was   the   word   I   had   to   define
   would have pointed to your eyes full of shine
The   more   I    peep
  the more I go deep
Like the never ending elevation
       of a hill so steep

Neither   i    stalk
  Nor i try to talk
Coz   am   afraid that
   I may end up
as a laughing stock
So  i  conclude  by   saying
  that this is my creation
      dedicated   to   you
         the inspiration
It's  a  pleasure  to
  share  the  bus with you
till the metro station!

Vengeance- The only way out

I have been living in a kingdom
     widou the emperor
You are the one
     to be blamed for terror
Never felt perfection
     only experienced  error
Intentionally for me
     you initiated the  'emotional flood'
and you say,
     we are related through blood!


I'm away from my place
but that SOMEDAY will come
     when I'll be back
Remember, you won't be spared
     coz I'll attack!
you'll run for the breathing space
     for am gonna set your in and out ablaze


I have been the PRINCE
     who shouldered the pressure to perform
On my own have I faced
     every approaching storm
There's a thing in me
     they call 'never say die'
so each time I have a fall
     on the floor I don't lie
I   pick   myself    up
and as always
     I'm ready to fly!!

Hostel Diaries 4

You feel defeated and
You  feel hurt
Sometimes i ask myself that
Why I'm not a flirt

Why I fell for someone
Why is she the only one..
Around me I have some gals
who are my pals

(mind says)
I could have tried my luck
(heart says)
how can you think so yuck...!!

Towards her I do walk
with the motive of having a talk
but all in vain
now back in my hostel room
I feel the pain

My buddies offer beers
but no cheers
Because for my mom
I'm the hope
So I don't dope
I don't wanna act like a BANDIT
I stay raw
coz am a PANDIT

Hostel Diaries 3

My legs are shaking
and the back is aching
My hair has turned white
even an apple is difficult to bite..
A glass of water is difficult to hold
my heart is young but i have grown old..!!

Riding bikes gives me joy
right from the days when I was a boy..
I feel relaxed and free
sitting under a shady tree.
With the helmet on my thigh
I take a deep sigh..
i look at my bike and
she looks back at me
I thank her for being a girlfriend and wife to me..

I wish the latter one was SOMEONE
who was the ONLY ONE
With my eyes closed,
in her memories I am engrossed
I met her during my days in college
but where is she now
I don't have any knowledge.
marriage was an agreement
That I did'nt sign
Because I cud'nt make her mine.......

Hostel Diaries 2

Living with the fear
of losing someone dear.
Was far from me
despite being near.

I Don't want her to be a memory,
don't want her as a password
without her life would not be life
but just a word..
The very thought that
I would never get to see her again
turns me insane

To me says my inner voice
God never made you
to make a choice
The gal for whom
you have put your very self on auction,
For her,
You may not even be an option.
From that very moment
I made a decision
will never let her be in my vision

I will forget her
though my forgetfulness
Does'nt take my side
I will survive
with the feelings buried deep inside
but my eyes speak the truth
that i can't hide...

Hostel Diaries 1

Life comes with ups and downs,
Sometimes with the enthusiastic YOs
and sometimes with the moanful NOs...

But that "NO" from your side,
Has ripped off my very inside.
Come swords and may come the knife
It's easier to bear 'em
But for this life..

With promises to keep and scars to hide,
With the love in my heart and
the pain by my side,
i walk with my buddies
with a smile so wide....

You are not the one whom I blame,
Defeats stand for my name
This heartbreak may be just another stone
in my life's lane
but yeah,
It does pain....

Thanks to you,
i laugh more
i shout more
more than i have ever
just 2 hide the impact
That will remain forever......

Hostel Diaries

Tring-Tring...
....KNOCK....
It's already 9'oclock
and I wake up with a shock..!!

Straight from the home,
Its my mom
On the phone..

While I rub my eyes that burn,
I hear a voice full of concern.
"Have u ever seen the rising sun??"
enquires my mom with her eyes on the clock

But never does she know that in the MBA block
every morning there's a beautiful Sun(YOU)
rising for her son!!!
