With muddled memories
And biased thoughts
From tilted perspectives
And choices flawed
We spend a lifetime
Blinded with distortions
But blame the machine
Trained on our ways
Of erring in decisions
Calling it hallucinations!

Dare
When you cast a bullet
Can you also emboss on it
With certainty the faith
You wish to desecrate?
At the soil drenched in blood
Can you stare long enough
To quote the side from where
Came the dreams that bled?
When you hear cries of a mate
Can you dare find the words
To solace the broken soul
Devoid of revenge and hate?
Starve
I do not know
How to
Get used to
Being without you
I do not know
Where do
I move to
Search for you
I do not know
When shall
The morning befall
When I find you
I do not know
Why do
I let my heart
Starve for you
Wake Up
Wake up
‘Coz while you have been living
you have not been feeling,
you have been existing
With so little sensing
Wake up
Not to the sounds that you hear
but to the sobs that you don’t
to who you really are
to what you bear
Wake up
‘Coz what gains are any good for
Showing yourself to the world
When those close struggle
to see you unfurled.
Wake up. Breathe. Feel. Love.
Figureless
It isn’t made in stone
but it ain’t fragile
It resides in every bone
but it ain’t sterile
It dissolves my duality
Of desires and sacrifice
I carve myself a reality
Worthy of my own choice
It needs no nectar nor necklace
‘Coz power needs no drape
My faith is figureless
‘Coz belief needs no shape
Free
I have rode as far as I could
I have ran more than I stood
I have worn more than I should
I crave for no feeling nor food, but
A sleep where tread no dream would
On the fertile Earth I lay bare,
With just a few breaths to spare,
To the heavens I let my eyes stare,
The clouds show an intent to share,
With showers I plead them to pare.
Like the ease with which I see
the water slip all over me
I cede my flesh with glee
From all the debt and debris
Tonight I set myself free.
Who you are
Are you the forceful gust
that shoves away the clouds
to lighten up the dark?
Or are you the cheerful breeze
that fills the shade
on a day schorching and stark?
Are you the powerful wave
fighting the storm
refusing to take a knee?
Or are you the water
that whispers by the beach
to relieve the weary?
May be, you are the lost traveler
who yearns for the right road
Or may be, you are the admirer
of what lies amongst new stores
To seek the answers I resist
to venture far,
Since your biggest strength is
you always are, who you are.
What defines us?
Is it the last name we didn’t choose
Or the land we have marked with muse
Is it the parents we didn’t pick
Or the labels we decide to stick
Is it the beliefs we hold so dear
That we treat those with a spear
Who don’t to our ways mend
Whose God we can’t comprehend
Is it what we say is our culture
That we have refused to nurture
When those who wrote it on a stone
Wanted us to build our own
Is it the facts cheered by the few
Which as opinions we wish to prove
I don’t know what’s all the fuss
Tell me, what really defines us?
Dance
In a world that doesn’t
Look at all like this
Where the choices
From our past
Haven’t shackled us
To these paths
Daring to have built
A craving for thee
I would ask for you
To set myself free
From carrying the guilt
For wanting you for me
So I could muster
All the courage
To do what I should
And say this to thee
I wish you could
Come dance with me
Distance
Like the light luring the mist to flee
You dissolve all my worries to be
Like how a flower is found by a busy bee
I search and seek for you within me
But let me not surrender my heart
To the want of us not being apart
The two shores walking along forever
If they met, what would be of the river?
If the moon got what it always craves
Would there be any more waves?
The sky hops horizons in the hopes to hug
The Earth wanders and waits without a shrug
So let me not squander any resistance
There is meaning to find in this distance.
