Healing

As the golden gates open,

To the other side of

The world,

Clearly visible through

Closed eyes,

I hear footsteps

That accompany me.

Perhaps, those footsteps   

Are the memories

That come alive subconsciously,

Like the tides

in the stillness of the sea,

bathing in the shimmering light,

on a moonlit night,

and heals the scarred soul.

Oh Please!

Shadows are the doorways

To the light.

I wish to

Slide them slightly

Breathe in fresh air

Open my arms

Spread my wings

Turn on the music

Dance and sing

But it’s no fun!

I sit here,

With my overthinking mind....

My head spins,

My back hurts

I feel stuck.

I pop in a tablet

And now..

Oh I feel dizzy.

I want to sleep.

MIGRAINE!

Oh Please leave,

and let me be!

 Migraine and bad internet connection at the time of UBC is not-so-cool. Now that's a challenge!

The metal Buddha

2014 image, Gurgaon 

Where the vision was green

The metal buddhas

Made their appearance on

The entrance of the gates amidst chaos.The

Subtle reminders of the fruit

Of silence lay with price tags on the stand.

World is funny.It gets suspicious when we

Ignore and enter the gates to eat

All the fruits of patience and perseverance,the

light shines and world heals at the cost of a lost smile.

Buddhas laugh again draped in light and

       Drink the venom of darkness, then spit !

It overflows ..spreading out

 shrieks of unrequited love. The

Sacred stones!Biting tongues with chattering teeth.

silver lining

                                                                                                                            2011 image

When I sit silently and your thoughts connect with mine,
I walk on the silver linings and try to reach cloud nine.

Holding on..

                                                                                                          2013 image,Goa

Where everything is uncertain,in the changing world today

There are thousand reasons to let go and simply turn away

Perplexed language of bygone phase turn winters yellow pale,

From deep within rises a plethoric emotional tale.

Ignorance added to doses of irrationality

Indifference made preferences become formality

Tightly wrapped with the burden of short-lived congeniality

Shedding silent tears as “all is illusion” is what they say

Holding on to goodness and letting go of shadowy trail

I walk having faith in illusionary reality.

Thinking of you

image 2013,Goa

I remember the day

When you came in my life

And made me realize

My worth in the moment.

I hold you so close to my heart

Oh dear ,tell me how to part

 Today I see you lying
Secure in my treasure
So dead yet so alive
As some memories
that stopped my time.

Allow me,

To make some efforts

And bring you back to life..

 Thinking of you

I breathe..

You are a gift

You are a blessing

You are special..

It’s just a matter of time..

My dear watch!

 # Forever loved 

The Essence..

I like all the flavours of thought in this poetry that I wrote way back in 2010, "silent words"...its nostalgic,and most of all,it talks of words that haunt and silence that suffocates!Though time changes,whenever I go back and read these lines,I feel all the same..re-living these emotions with same intensity in The Essence. Read on..

In the darkest corners where

Best creations are processed.

Fear engulfed and

The light got dimmed.

 In some nowhere land,

From where the world

Seemed so closely knitted,

Love lost

the sight of those

Who lost themselves

In their own darkness..

Their words dissolved
In their gloom..

Their shadows

 left them with

Hardened hearts

Pseudo smiles

Agonizing pain

Immeasurable void

Forsaken miseries

 and fallen promises.

They prayed on their knees.
 HE laughed 

Then quietly blessed
and whispered..

Endless wait
shall end
for the sleeping slaves of words
Till they awaken
and find their way back
to their innocence. 
Rejoice!
 I am love
bathed in sunshine
I live in you
Drink from my cup
of pain and pleasure
with gratitude. 
JUST BE!
In the moment..

Breathless # Day 30 ,OctPoWriMo Challenge,2013

 Breathless

I inhale the smoky fumes

And exhale the ashes ..

In a short while

The Sun shall set again..

Today might not be my day..

Anger,fear,anxiety..

Rules!

Mood swings, Unavoidable pain ..

And the fever persists..

Oh Please! No more experimenting.

Choked! Get me a breather..!

Shattered and scattered

Thousands of reflections

Gaze back and laugh

Through the broken

Pieces of glass..

All days are not the same

The Sun shall rise again

And bring in new hope

And inspire

To live,To dream and to survive!

P.S.  Fever loves me so much that its not leaving..Doctors are trying to figure it out still and I am busy minding my own business..
