Utopic Visions..

This post is inspired by the movie "Avataar" and My Muse....

Hold my hand,
take me away.
Into a world,
Where "green" rules the day.

No mindless competition,
No heavy price to pay,
No unruly strategies,
No games people play.

No socio-educational hogwash,
No violence, come what may.
In such a world of harmony,
I would like to stay.

TIDAL WAVES!!

How can you look like that?
Freezing me to a halt.
Your gaze like a torturous tongue,
Licking over my soul..

Your charisma in its majestic glory,
Haunts me and sucks me in,
Like a vampire seducing its prey,
Without even trying..

Are you for real,
Or a figment of my imagination?
Or are you a blend-
A surreal combination of both..

This question lives and dies,
With the days and nights,
The heady tidal wave of undercurrents,
Wrecking havoc to my senses..

Pleasure or pain - cannot fathom anymore,
What matters most is YOU,
Making life sweeter,
As I fall off the cliff....

Of Fantasy And Reality

My only wish
May just be a dream..
Cannot tell you why
Thoughts are flowing in a stream..

Waiting for reason
Clouded by emotions..
A sweet battle with the brain
An unsatiated hunger in the heart..

To hold you and touch you
And taste you and love you..
To enjoy with you and share with you
and heal you and soothe you..

A wish, a desire
A quest and a prayer..
Once in a while
Let this Fantasy be Reality....!!

Sealed With a Kiss..

Can you listen to my smile,
As my world fades away.
I can't wait to see you near,
Can't hold on and make you stay..

You are illusive,
And I am a bystander.
I watch you from a distance,
As you flip colours..

You don't remain what you are,
I am happy to let you be.
You are my ace, my shining star,
You mean so much to me..

Goes beyond definitions,
and futile boundaries.
It is THE SPACE that is,
Sealed with a Kiss....

2 LINES..THE PANDEMONIUM OF LOVE..

Two Lines that got me the 2nd Prize in an International Poetry Contest..dedicated to My MUSE....Words are not enough to express how special you are and how much you inspire me....
so, here goes....


"DIVINITY CANNOT FATHOM THE PANDEMONIUM LOVE UNLEASHES,
IF IT DOES NOT FIND A RECLUSE IN YOU, OH LET IT BE FANTASY....!"

MIRAGE!!

For someone....


Go away Mirage,
Stop haunting Me,
Don't fuel my passions,
I pray to thee.


Why are you here when you aren't,
Why are you so important?
Luring me away from myself,
Into a spectacle beyond imagination..


I feel you everywhere,
I wander dazed and entranced,
I try to reach you out and hold you..
And in that moment - You are Gone..!!

That Something!

I had stopped writing at IMNU but finally I did manage to write something for my MUSE....


THAT SOMETHING....


You've got something about you,
I cannot pin it down,
Words are so few,
To describe who you are..

Is it in your mesmerizing eyes?
Or your velvety lips,
Or is it in the mysteriousness,
That surrounds your silken head?

Is it in your thoughts?
Or in your persona?
Or in the flights of fantasy?
In which you forever indulge?

Is it in your ambition?
Or in your Dreams?
Or is it just a divine gift?
To simply feel and not perceive....?

I cannot pin it down,
I do not want to now,
I cherish who you are
For what you are and will....FOREVER!!

TEMPORARY FAREWELL....

I'm going away,
So wish me Goodbye.
Not going to be afar,
Nor be so very near.

Wish me good luck,
For my new endeavour.
Pray for me please,
So that I don't waver....!!

You will be with me,
Wherever I go.
In me and with me,
I will feel your soul.

You are my Angel and my Saving Grace,
I'm mesmerized with all your ways.
I'll miss the moments that touched my heart,
Its numbing to be moving apart....

But I'll manage to come back my way,
'Cause its indeed difficult to stay away.
With you its life and laughter and pain,
It would be LIVING LIFE TO BE BACK AGAIN....!!!!

Water God....

Okay..again for My Muse....
This one's called Water God....

Mesmerizing eyes
glow from a face,
young and wise,
from an ancient race..

He gracefully lies,
upon the shore,
the warm sun kissing,
on every pore..

Gorgeous Water God,
Spirit of the sea,
His unspoken tune,
beckons to me..

I watch him from,
amongst the dunes,
as he entices me with
his magical tunes..

He conquers the waters,
to get a high,
His potent aura,
just can't be denied..

He looks like a water nymph-
born to swim,
Its a sheer pleasure,
just to be watching Him..

Locks pasted
on a silken head,
eyes that look
straight out of the bed..

Promising fire on eyes,
with sultry lips,
A body that looks,
entirely at Bliss..

A mystery on water,
He remains,
His mind , body and soul,
Not confound by chains..

Nothing can take away,
that sizzling allure,
He is an ILLUSIVE REALITY,
That's for sure....

Possessed....!!

This one is for Rags..Mah Muse....

You have come to me,
from a distant land,
The shimmer of scintillating eyes,
The fury of a thousand winds,
the mystique Dreamer of Dreams..

Sweet music playing
the tune of life,
that plays within,
to ignite passion's fire,
and burn in its flames..

A symphony of word and thought you bring,
Excitement builds upon crescendo's sound,
Brought forth in tunes to make my soul sing,
For all the beauty with my muse, I've found..

A life is changed in just no time,
All darkness unmatched to his dazzle,
that shines from words unspoken
or spoken in the softest rhyme,
Yet, he remains only a Puzzle....

Bondage..

For mah friend - P.S..

A soul held in captivity,
in the matrix of life,
looking for salvation,
in an absolute oblivion..

Is Escapism the way out?
Seems very likely,
Smoking away the restlessness,
fears and ambitions..

The soul strips off masks,
that other souls put on.
Its need for the genuine clear,
with every course of action..

A depth and sensitivity,
Unexpected, Unnoticed,
An attitude of callousness,
Not so skin deep..

The friend of friends,
An intelligent charmer,
A laid back man,
A consuming lover..

So much in this soul,
that one would love to explore,
yet the soul is a mystery,
with secrets galore....

Precognition

A sense so strong,
Is HE in trouble?
Is something bothering HIM?
Is there trouble lurking somewhere?
Taking HIM down with it?
Why the vibes..
If things went smooth?
I'm a FOOL..
I'm yet to understand....

CHAOS..

I see someone sulking,
lost in the chaos of mind.
"Why me?
What makes rewards a distant dream?
Will I never get what i deserve?
Am i really worthy of so much?
Or are people really worth more?"
I know not..
I'm yet to learn..

Some could be gone,
to chase their dreams,
up on the moon,
as the stars shine down..
I belong there,
I would be here..
I didn't expect it,
Yet, I am..

And then it comes to,
unexpected fruits of labour,
more toil, more sweat,
yet, i get,
a spoonful of gray,
I don't deserve it..
I wanted the moon..

I knew I could get there,
That's why I'm here,
Or would I not e happy,
to remain sheltered in my cocoon??
I deserve more,
I will get it..
More chaos..
More sulking....

The BOBs

DEDICATED TO THE BAND OF BOYS....(BOBs)....

The BOBs share a piece,
of passion, pain and pleasure,
That no one else, no family can,
Begin to know or treasure..

It doesn't matter if they,
see each other everyday,
or years go by before,
they can come and go away..

Its as if a secret room,
Holds their private store,
and every time they meet,
(they) go in through some special door!!

The moment they meet,
is their to share,
the memories of loyalty and times of need,
of fun, gratitude, love and care..

Unchanged, united they always belong,
Mature yet playful and forever young,
A Band of Boys in Love and Pain..
Together they come alive again....

ETHERIAL SEDUCTION!!!!

The world rests away,
Kissed by Slumber
under cozy roofs,

I stand alone,
Watching the interplay of forces,
that give shape to the path I trod.

How can these shimmering lights,
Millions of light-years away,
Shape me..?!..

As if................
I were....
A Piece Of Clay....

Maybe, I AM!!................

The Velvety Silkiness of the night lures me....
And I GIVE IN................
TO ITS SEDUCTIVE CHARMS................
LOSING MYSELF........
IN SULTRY DREAMS............

LOVING YOU....

Loving You ain't difficult,
Yet, getting over conflicting emotions is..
A hundred reasons why I LOVE YOU,
A handful of WHY I SHOULDN'T.
Yet Time tells me,
What I Should See,
Despite all odds, I do agree,
that YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE FOR ME....!!!!

Two Strangers

For a mysterious someone....

We meet each day,
Making more of most....
Drinking in " The Presence ",
Savouring the Toast.

A look is what it takes,
A moment of silence,
hanging in the air,
Creating Walls,
Destroying More....

An eternity passes
Of mutual acknowledgment,
And YET, it is so strange,
A friction, a distance
and an UNSPOKEN
ENTICING ALLUSION
BETWEEN TWO STRANGERS!!!!

Something Stupid....

Dedicated to my Muse....



Its been a while,
Gazing into the distance,
Acknowledging the presence,
Awake, Aware....

Mutual Caress of the Eyes,
Not much to say,
No need!!

Talking to friends,
Knowing more than most,
Bonding and Sharing,
Yet we don't....

Silences and Speech,
Occasional laughter and depth,
A hint at Intimacy or Care....
NO INTENT....NO MEANING!!!!

Justice Denied..Without a Trial!!

"You are Lying !!", they said.
"I am INNOCENT", I pleaded..
"I wanna hear no more", they declared.

"I don't lie Your Honor..only a handful of them,
And this ain't the occasion", the naked truth..
"Don't You say a word..
Have you any Proof?", the skepticism.

I muster a witness, the ray of hope.
The court waits on, the patience
He arrives on scene..the palpitation.
He says Nothing..the disappointment.

A silence....
More silence........

"You are GUILTY
until proven INNOCENT", the verdict.
"Dejected, hopeless,
Deflated, scarred", the state of mind.

No lawyers,
No trials,
One man's Silence
against the Other....

Trust?? Oh ! the sheer absence!
Truth?? Oh the silent cover!
Just a little prayer for Thee..
Let not the hope Die in Me....

DHWANIKA'S DESTINY....

This one is a dedication to a good friend of mine at NRIBM....

The heart of Sound was Bleeding,
Her Soul's Bright fire dim,
She cried and lived without a soul,
She just couldn't remain the same again,
For everything HE STOLE!

In a life of Sorrows,
it was either Sink or Swim..
and Swim she did.
With the power only a woman can have -
Shutting those windows,
Yet CRAVING FOR MORE....

She couldn't have HIM back,
But she fought all that came..
In the way of what she calls..
HER DESTINY!!
