The Life Beyond!!!


I sat
by the river
lost in reverie
of me
and my perished memories
Just trying
if i could revive
Those memories
when i was just five
There by the river
thoughts ran amok
I felt like a castle
perched on a rock
hIGH! So high
i felt up there
Where nothin could reach me
just the air
Slowly and gradually
this feeling arose.
Of a sudden calm
amidst the chaos
My frenzied mind
was suddenly calm
And peace held me
in its arms
The world down there
seemed cold and frigid
Where by the river
i lay buried
Now i exist
just like the river
From tide to an ebb
Smooth to shiver
Now i live
a life like that
A life
that mortals call Death!!!

(an ode to Death)

The Monsoon Ballad - 2 : Waiting for the rain....

They say he's been coming often these days and waiting outside my window for me, I've been too busy to even know if its bright or cloudy, or which part of the day it is outside!! Heard he's spread the carpet of green all over, for me to see and smile when I peep out of my window. But I've been shut away in a box with lots of staplers and letter pads for company, occasionally clicking on my mouse... Googling the weather and blue skies in 'another part of the world'... fantasizing if I could run away and live there forever! And I complain I've been a slave to this corporate weather. And all I breathe is the smell of paper.... I take detours in my mind, wonderin how it'd have been if I was a farmer on the hill side! And I could've seen him often, wearing a rainbow crown on his head....Oh I definitely think you're handsome, Rain!! And I day-dream about getting drenched in a sweet surrender, and I imagine the droplets chatter occasionally, hummi...

The Monsoon Ballad - 3 : Floral Romance!!

And the young and handsome Flower In full bloom Stood proud and tall in his glory "majestified"! Sweet summoning scent Of his perfume sets the heart a-throbbing Pulsating and b eating Leaves the senses mesmerized!! You see his proud stance and arrogant charm But seldom its known  that secretly he stalks the Sun! While he knows not That the bees and the drones Are soon gonna arrive Uninvited!!

Confessions of a Turbulent Mind!

Sometimes I wonder why Solitude has become such a crowded place!! Make 'em stop; these cacophonies of screaming silences; they're deafening!!!! Who built this barricade in the middle of our bed?! Why do our conversations resemble a talk show on mute?! Can you tell?! Jet-speeding through the highways in my mind, I'm afraid, the light at the end of the tunnel might be a halogen bulb put there to illuminate the sign board that reads - "DEAD END"!!! :-|
