Damini

I don't know who she was to me, Yet today I shed a tear-drop or three, Thinking she could be my daughter, my sister, my neighbor.... Or Me!! Leave your remorses and regrets behind, Damini...  Set your brave self free. For its Us who stand shamed, For its our souls that are dented Its this nation that's painted and tainted black   Its all of us that are raped by our supposed protectors and Keepers, And the Government watches with glee! *sighs*

The Rollercoaster - Life!

Evanescent,  Effervescent,  Ever so elusive - Life! At times wondrous, at others torturous! Sometimes, its meaning escapes me by a fraction.  Then, in an unassuming flash of a moment it all seems to fall in place! Its here that I could touch everything I ever dreamed about... And its here I could realise everything I could've never imagined.... Placid at times, turbulent at others! Coming apart at the seams, then teaching me to take that timely stitch that would save me nine!! It's here, my playground! It's you, my game, Life!

I doubt therefore I am!

Sometimes I believe. Sometimes I don't! At times I'm believing when in doubt, while at others I'm doubting when in belief. Does that make me a believer or a non-believer?! When one believes, the conflict ends - that's the general notion. Believing is comfort, believing is peace - usually! And while peace or comfort is the seemingly obvious end I struggle to achieve; I realize that the doubt was the means!! Unless I doubted, I wouldn't have come to believe! Its like reaching perfection. I imagine perfection like still calm waters; I may momentarily look at in awe and wonder against a picturesque scenic backdrop, but then in a while I look away! Had that perfection not been there, had the water not been still....had there been ripples and waves that danced a mad dance while I was looking at the scenery, making patterns as it flirted with each of my glances.... holding it spell-bound.... making it difficult for me to look away.........! Maybe, Just maybe I&

iWalk..

And...  It wasn't long  Before I found myself turn around. Now and then.. Wonder why?!? Maybe those distant echoes; t hey're now fading.  Maybe the memories; n ow fast evading.  And I walk on... More and more further-bound... l ess and less I turn around! And.. Maybe now I've come far.. And.. Maybe now,  I'm closer to where you are!!  ---

Waiting for the Rain!!!

And do you see those grey clouds?! And they are a-mocking! And can you see the hiding Sun?! He is but "just joking"! And I hear some giggles filling the humid air Making my expectations damp... Even the Mockingbird is puzzled!!! -----X-----

Definitely. Maybe. ~ (My first Fabionacci Sonnet!!)

Faith. Faithless. Absolutely; maybe.. Where am I?! Help me find my feet, Perfectly perched on steady ground Yet, I'm dis-aligned... I follow a butterfly; it leads me through woods, meadows and then disappears.... Lost, standing there gazing in amazement, how far I've come and where do I go now?! I want to stay here... Is there someone looking for me when they find I'm gone, or not?! Or, am i just fooling myself in believing Someone will come finding me Or will He?! Yes, definitely. Hopefully. Maybe!

An evening of "Making Poetry" with Vinali!!

And so we wrote..... "Making Poetry" I. Tangent Diagonally aligned parallel thoughts swifting into the by-lanes of  imagination. Quite vivid and linearlly-challenged logic! Quantum is my field, stretching into infinite space - Circling to touch, centering  the vast realm of 'externity' existing in the universe inside me!  I struggle to dissolve into "Nothingness"  sacred space within -   I.... ---- II. A Yard Doesn't measure up to the fabric of proportions defined by this society. Yard is my own measurement of immeasurable ideas crossing boundaries of Mind-space! Playground of emotions resting where the heart is And exerting when the mind is sedate losing all measures of freedom confined by this Geometry! ------ ~HAIKU~  I.  Green is my color -  Green is natural Twisted notions of the socitey of green being money.  I long for a world of barter!! ---- II. 

A Tear's Fury!!

And this I must tell you, My Dear,  That now it has come to this;  That you're talking to a tear!! Every time you leave her broken Every time you scream and shout Its always Me in front of whom  She can pour her heart out! I can hear so clearly Her sighs and silent screams,  And I watch her as she sits and weeps On a pile of shattered dreams!! And next time you yell and shout I'll tell her to walk the hell out Coz its just not fair, after all Every time you leave her down WHY THE HELL IS IT MY JOB TO FALL??!?! %$#&*%......

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!!

MicroPoetica...!!!

In your night Your Moon Your stars And your sky May I be a dreamer??? --- You say too much Too many words Yet clueless I am of what you say Its not your words That are wasted But my attention!! --- Words Like camouflage Hide what we feel! --- Dear Life! You're my muse And the songs I write About tears and joy, I leave them all for you to peruse! --- Awkward silences Pregnant pauses - Conversations ending with 'K'!  --- The grey clouds A water-colored hope A black cloud Hovering like Impending doom And tonight I forego seeing the stars Let it rain! #AwaitingRains --- Come June I start forming imaginary clouds Eventually, they start to form in the sky - My formula for rain!!  #AwaitingRains  #InAnticipation --- Your love ~  like bubble wrap ~  delivers me safe and sound ~  anywhere!! ---- The warmth of a thousand splendid Suns ~  and the cold, frozen ice of

Humans: The Deadliest Pests On The Face Of This Planet!

*sighs* Also... this triggers a rather philosophical thought -  This explains why the Human mind first creates this world as a construct of its imagination, then questions it and then gets busy finding its answer!!! #MyMusings

Of Complementing Contrasts and Articulated Abstractions!!!

Of ruffled feathers and blow-dried hair... Of battered hearts and dazzling smiles.. Of melancholic madness and mass hysteria... Of noisy solitude and and a carnival of lull.. Of bruised bodies and soul reborn... Of sleepy afternoons and sleepless nights... Of verbal misinterpretations and silent approvals... Of unattainable fantasies and fulfilled aspirations.. Of consenting differences and contradicting similarities... Of visual blindness and blinding illusions... O' Life.. You are but a festival.... Of mournful delights and exhilarating gloom!!!

'Fake' is the new black!!

On the foundations of hatred and envy Cemented by ill-will and lies Walls of foam painted with pretense This house built on doubt and distrust; thrives!! The wolf is my next-door neighbor Meaningless conversations to fill up the void inside In a town full of strangers  We call some of them our "own" allies!! Tea-time chatter Laughing on a character's sad demise! Or about first-copy merchandise These crystals doth diamonds outshine!! Songs with profanity  Played aloud on loop Exchanging pleasantries Perhaps, that's why 'Fake' is the new black!! And all the sentient beings crying,  "This house is falling apart!!"

Meet me where the sky touches the sea; wait for me where the world begins!

I know it's late,  So, why hurry now? If You reach there first, look for a small hill,  By which a river is flowing,  Or by the sea... or nearby a waterfall! Find a nice place under a shady tree...  And... Build a house, wait for me! If I reach first.... I'll do the same!!!

An Ode To The Moon!!!

The Brightest Full Moon of the year - May 05, 2012 Me : The full moon  Like a balloon  At the string of my desire tied, And there I lay back  With my head on the grass  Thought of a verse  Life's triviality glorified! Mira : Is the moon; the full-bodied orb of delight u serenade,  or do you wait , oh so patiently for the winds of desire to fly you to the moon ... my love.. Me :  Its the Moon, so vain, I compel A self-obsessed celestial object of desire It can't resist the gravitational pull Of an Earthlings' sweet serenade of d'sire Of which, I always leave him/her wanting more.... By saying come back fortnightly, it only would get better, fo'sure! Oh, and if I were to fly... I'd like to go BEYOND PARADISE!! TNT : Oh lady moon...wish I could hold you on my palms.. You look so beautiful,sitting lazy with the jealous stars.. You whisper to me,as I watch you from under my favourite tree, ur pand

The Birth Of A Poem.... !!!

Words If suppressed Held captive  Inside the chest Turn rebellious And form verse!!!

How to give a negative F#c@!!!

Just read somewhere that Agni-V's best feature is that it can ruin 10 cities at a time @ 5000 kmph?!?! Wowww, isn't that just awesome, world-class armory?! Now India has no reason to worry abt bein left out, should WW-3 break out, eh!! Yayyyyy... we're gonn go to war!!! All those video game fantasies that little boys grew up on, in the 90s are gonna come true!!!! \m/ :D Also, the UN should immediately meet and decide which those 10 cities in the world would be.... and send there all those people with SENSITIVITY and SENSIBILITY levels below "High"! I sincerely hope and pray otherwise, but wudn't be surprised if the city I live in is selected among those ten!!! And I give a negative f*ck about it!!! *sighs* :-/ Genuinely yours, Ms. Whocares Sowhat P.S - Genuine thanks to Mr. Tumlin Fromsomewhereinthesea(Sandeep Venkataramani) for the picture, without which this post wudnt make half a sense!! :') 

You are tired (I think) .... By E.E. Cummings

“You are tired (I think) , of the always puzzle of living and doing; and so am I. Come with me, then, and we’ll leave it far and far away— only you and I, understand! You have played (I think), And broke the toys you were fondest of, And are a little tired now; Tired of things that break, and— Just tired. So am I. But I come with a dream in my eyes tonight, and knock with a rose at the hopeless gate of your heart— Open to me! For I will show you the places nobody knows, and, if you like, the perfect places of Sleep. Ah, come with me! I’ll blow you that wonderful bubble, the moon, that floats forever and a day; I’ll sing you the Hyacinth song of the probable stars; I will attempt the unstartled steppes of dream, until I find the Only Flower, Which shall keep (I think) your little heart while the moon comes out of the sea.”  

"Silence" revisited!

Thank you Samina, Sumit, Yanka, Shreyas, Janki, Soumya and Mira for your thoughts!!  **Some changes and editions have been made but thank you for your ideas and your inspirations** Here's to you.... **This was by Simi Aapa Urf. Janaab Samina Shamim)** Silence Sometimes you stand for the truth And sometimes you personify the cruelest of lies Your shackles bind Me And I burn as you watch me You're as cold as ice! **And this I think was by Sumit** Silence You've lost your own game,  These voices that you tried to block They're talkin to me,  They're screamin my name And you said eloquence renders efforts fruitless jus the same?!  Bah! What a shame!! **Ducky's input @Priyanka Sanikop** Silence I'm awake now my 'conscious
