No Presence, No Absence






I am not losing anything,

I had nothing to lose to begin with
But I wish I had the sense
To breath in my Muse
Savour in the luxury

But who on Earth said that
Absence is the lack of Presence
Seems to me that presence is overrated
A little warped in meaning

For the muse is a forever entity
Away from the play of presence and absence..
Capable of rendering my mind and heart
A little meaningful, not little meaningless

It has got nothing to do with presence or absence
It has got everything to do with the person you are..
Being possessed by your very entity..
And a very unique, mysterious, captivating Identity....

Rock my World..





For my Muse....because you simply rock my world....

I don't KNOW you,
You don't KNOW me.
Yet, we meet often,
Sometimes, we even talk..

Are we friends yet?
I simply don't know..
Yet this frenzy,
Refuses to die down..

So, I DO care..
So, You DON'T care..
So, You aren't a part..
Of my deluded world....

Yet you rock my world,
You colour it in rainbow hues..
You are the unsuspecting tangent,
To the careful circle of my life.

So what if your presence,
Is my only wish..
So what if moments with you are,
Permanently etched in memory..

I don't live in illusions,
I don't want no reality.
Its not my imagination..
It is a truth well known..

I feel my world has shaken..
To degrees unfathomed.
Yet, the warmth of your words and smiles,
make me feel cherished like a cherub in the womb..

You Rock My World My Muse..
BY SIMPLY BEING THERE..
Its You and Sharing moments with You,
That Capture Running Time..

The World Rocks and Comes to a Halt..
In the space of a few minutes in your presence..
Its just simply YOU..
Who MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE....

The Little Mermaid..





At times when you don't like me,
I open my eyes, that feel like lead,
Look around me in anticipation,
Waiting for my Fairy God Mother..

But what did I expect..
To be the fortunate Cinderella?
With Fate and Magic by her side
and a Smitten Prince Charming in tow..Hah!

If Reality were to be Fiction..
What Character would I be?
No Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella for sure..
I would be the Little Mermaid lost as Froth in the Sea....


Lost....

A special occasion warrants a special poem..Thinking about you, my Muse..On your Special Day....


Lost....

Why do I feel so Lost,
As if I'm standing on the Edge..
On the Line that separates
Agony from Ecstasy....

Am I feeling them both,
Or am I blissfully Numb?
What is this feeling..
Novel and yet as old as time..

Why am I smiling and yet crying
I'm not even aware of what I want to do
Thinking about you is both pleasure and pain
I'm rediscovering myself through You..

Its mesmerizing, its exhilarating
Its captivating to be with you
Do not know how to do without this..
Losing myself to you is Dangerous....

The Exit!!





So, I'm thinking that I'll be leaving soon..Just the thought of leaving family, friends, my muse leaves me in cold sweat and maybe even in hot tears..so many changes..so soon..There is hardly any room for preparation..maybe the time spent with loved ones is never enough..and its all about to change..forever..


For my Muse..


THE EXIT!!


Parted Lips sighed his name
A pearly smile is the perfect facade
shadowing
the pool of tears
I'm on the edge now

I take the final bow
The game is up
The play is over
The lights are dim
The curtains fall
Was there even time for Catharsis?
The Audience Applause -
An abrasive cacophony to the senses..
I'm jarred, scarred, torn apart..
Is finality the final blow..
There is no time left to ponder..
It's time to EXIT!!


Ecstatic!!




I'm wondering whether the endless toil,
would reap the desired fruits..
I'm impatient, its a huge turmoil,
that I grapple with day in and day out..


Begging is what I have resorted to,
For opportunities I find fit are as rare as diamonds..
Going with the flow is not what I intend to do,
Going against the tide and emerging a winner is my destiny..


I'm in a race only with myself wherein,
I strive constantly for perfection and creativity..
So many goals, dreams, desires and cravings,
So many strategies to make them come true..


And yet that first step is the toughest to take,
So many temptations, so many fears..
Not losing focus is the only way,
To make sure my life is headed to where I desire..


Taking calculated Risks and Being Patient,
Waiting for the Right Moment..
Preparing, Researching and being Tolerant,
Waiting, Waiting and More Waiting..


That Patience pays off is more than a saying,
It is the mantra of life per say..
A golden opportunity - I must be dreaming,
No stones to be left unturned for it..


A conversation true to myself,
A combination of suavity, poise and control..
Then the test of nerves and elegance,
Prayers to the Almighty in the face of sheer scarcity..


The Moment of Truth - The result of an ordeal,
It' is a rare opportunity - It's a Make or Break..
Praying to the Lord to be placed for real,
An Affirmation - Oh Nothing in the world beats the feeling..



Sheer Ecstasy, the feeling of Unbridled Joy,

Totally Unparalleled and Absolutely Irreplaceable..

The spirit soars high enough to kiss the sky,

A feeling to be shared with people that most matter..



Being true to one and all works more than lies,

It touches the right chords deep within the recesses of the mind..
A heart of gold always shines,

Backed with a functional brain and the right temperament..



The Taste of Success Well Earned is Sweet Indeed,
The Joy Unparalleled, The Ecstasy Everlasting..
The Feeling is so Enormous that Nothing can Beat,
It becomes The Halo, The Guiding Light, The only Goal - The Destiny!!

Moments in Time....



Seeing and Meeting My Muse is Pure Ecstasy to the Senses..It feels Wonderful. Can't really say How Good it Feels..The Sheer Pleasure to see Him all Enthusiastic and Dynamic simply Stops Time....Not the Prince of Persia..but a Self proclaimed 'Prince' none the less..This is to a Very Special Friend..My Muse....

This one's called Moments in Time....

We meet again,
It has been weeks.
Sharing time and conversations,
I'm Living a Dream..
and Dreams are Illusive,
So are YOU.
Yet Time Stops.
Yet Again..
I'm Mesmerized.
I Breathe in You,
Taking You in.
All of You..
The Mirth in your Eyes,
The Contagious Enthusiasm in your Voice,
The Dynamism of your Persona,
The Passion and Drive,
Everything More Magnetic by the Second.
And Yet to Part..
Agonizing, Confusing.
Have to go,
I Really Must.
A Handshake won't do,
A Bare, Consuming Hug,
Like a Potion for Life.
I Have You Now, My Friend,
Like a Cocoon of Warmth and Reassurance,
That melts and Reaches to the Core.
It is Easier now to Survive,
Until We Meet Again....

THE CONCEPT OF MUSE....



The concept of Muse,

The way it captures the imagination,
Too difficult to fathom,
Too easy to jump to conclusions.

Not an infatuation,
Nothing so immature,
Ordinary or momentary,
No longings and sudden disappearances.

A constant wealth of emotions,
Caring beyond measure,
Affection beyond doubts,
No names possible to explain this.

A selfless wish for his success,
No motive for captivity,
An inspiration for creativity,
Truly necessary for life.

BEYOND THE VERY ORDINARY,
MAKING A HUGE DIFFERENCE,
SO VERY SPECIAL,
MY MUSE!!

Suicide




The sheer futility of existence,
A meaningless life,

No one who cares,
No one to care for.


A loveless monotony,

Devoid of genuine affection,

No friends, no family, no love,

No one to understand the depth.


A life that faces scorn and bitterness,
A life scalded by insults and sarcasm,
A life humiliated for difference and non conformity,
A life that is beautiful and yet not enough.

So much pain and sadness,
So carefully masked and concealed,
A life that is sought after and yet,
A life no one can see through.

A smile that hides a wealth of tears,

Some shed, some guarded by esteem,
Casual banter and meaningless talk,

Veiling the intensity of the hurt.


Contemplating suicide is tempting enough,

Luring into a faceless trap,

A promise to set you free,

An introduction to finality.


Yet suicide is not really an option,

Not when a part of you,

Dies everyday, hour and second,

Not when you celebrate that death.


A numbness within,

A cold cruelty,

Wishing myself to die,

And feel death consuming me gradually....

Musing....



For my muse again..
Its called
'Musing'....


A sigh escapes my lips,
so much perfection,
too much to handle..

The sculpted angles,
the defiant structure,
a seductive foreboding..

What would it be like:
to kiss away the indifference?
to surrender to the interest?
to give in to the ultimate..

Would you be burning in my arms?
or make me quiver for your touch?
would we be meeting fire for fire?

Or would it be the perfect blend of souls,
where I know not for sure,
WHERE 'YOU' END AND 'I' BEGIN....

Awe Naturale..


This one is about NATURE that WAS, NATURE that IS and NATURE that CAN BE and the Relationship between Man and Nature....



AWE NATURÁLE


Standing across the mountains,

Watching the playful cascade,

Listening to its music,

Feeling the air purge the soul.


The myriad swirl of flowers,

Colours filling up the senses.

The buzzing of the bees,

Like Nature’s incantations to The Divine.


The heady nonchalance of the birds,

Branding the sky with freedom.

The ultimate diversity of the fauna,

Enticing, enthralling and yet soothing.


But now the river cascades no more,

It sings a sorrowful song.

Of the ruthlessness of its transformation,

And tales of times that are long gone.


Now there are tears of pain,

Both invisible and seen.

Battered and bruised, Nature endures,

More torment from one of her own.


When Darwin said Survival of the Fittest,

Had he truly meant –

Pollution, Deforestation,

Technological Misuse and Barbaric Wars?


Can her greatest creation not perceive,

The ethereal beauty of Nature?

And her role in maintaining –

The Ecological Balance and The Circle of Life?


Blinded by hubris,

Dizzy with ambition.

Man punishes Nature.. and then,

Nature disciplines her prodigal creation.


It is time to introspect,

Time to learn and move away.

Into a simple, real yet superior world,

Where “green” rules the day.


No eco destructive mechanisms,

No heavy price to pay.

No mindless competition,

No violence, come what may.


Nature is indeed magnificent,

And a powerful driving force.

This acknowledgment, awe and respect may harbour,

Mutual sustainability in due course.
