Rain and Light speaks my life



Human life can be defined as a pendulum moving to and fro between a state where he/she wants a life full of comfort and the other state where the person wants to achieve something bigger. This poem is dedicated to that endless journey of human desires. Well I don't know what the reader can understand as it depends upon the perception. So the rest part is left for you to interpret. So here it goes



I walked this plain on a summer day
Oppressed,dreary full of stains
Far from home,desired running away
Yet no drops to wash my pain

Saw new faces; some pale a few bright
Just like drizzle before you arrive
Far from home on a sailor's plight
Waiting for drops to clench my thrive



And then you came;the leaves danced
Showers of blessing did the birds sing
Heart turned peacock; an aura tranced
Relieved of pains, antidote of sting


Days went by and so did nights
You were there for me, pouring unbroken
Turned me lazy, inanimate to coming fights
Dreams captivated me, aspirations unspoken

And so you blocked my pores
My roots turned pale again
I turned weak, fell into bores
Hoping of light, a desire in feign

Light marked a cusp of life
Leaving behind years of trench
Which washed away pain;even the slightest slife
Burning no more in the drops of blench


On this eve of farewell I say
O'hail thy rain for you wash stain
O'hail thy light for you victor vain
Till life turns narrow from bay

The Loud Silence

Rummaging through a cacophony of squawks Many thoughts were heard; many forgotten In the fog leading one to weary Stumbling over an ascending despondence Yet the GREY went on in hope Of a stone fluent in silence Of a rippling substance beyond void Of a symphony amidst clamour Days and nights of retries and reset Led to the longest night before it bloomed When the course took its final en-route Towards uncovering the one departed The  silent spoke as the curtain rose Louder than the worldly cackle Of ideas breaking ever convention Of thoughts suggesting a lyrical prose But the world wasn't ready For the orthodox couldn’t decrypt, Couldn't afford anything but flak Painted on the walls of prejudice  Years passed as the material decayed Yet the GREY went on in hope Of a hushed tide to soar again And honour what was unhailed

Encounter

You have been visiting me more than often I presume the peak is near And so is the fear to move on For you may fade one day Debuted on a rainy canvas The slumber chose to squander Dreams of ambitions played a role no more But a song on bosom twin roads We had to part; the bona fide assured Many lines were left unread on a brief intimacy What followed next was a tumultuous applause Of a short episode, leaving me in disarray  I sought repose; ceded to comatose Of a desire for a yet another rendezvous It had to happen again; this time on a moonlight tryst On a winter solstice over scented candles Waking up next to you was inescapable A deal over smiles and chardonnay Days went by, so did the episodes of meet and farewell Leaving me on the stop of a conundrum  For you have been visiting me more than often I fear you may fade away

The 'LionHearts' : Colours of Change

12 th March 2017...this is just another usual day. Some people can call it a sleepy Sunday; for some it is a working day and to many in India it marks the initiation of Holi, the festival of colours. But for me this day brings much more in the form of thoughts that cease to exist in this busy-busy life. These thoughts mostly surround the life of a child who “lost his spring” even before he was allowed to do so. A child, who came into this world in rags and destined to leave the world in same; a child, who played with rocks, sand and fire instead of toys; a child, whose sole purpose was to win bread from the leftovers for his family of 6. While running towards maturity at a tender age, one day the child forgets his way to home; he is lost. The untouched born entity now becomes bait for the world to consume. There are quite a many but repetitive paths that he might fall into. The well known among them is “ Child trafficking ”. Courtesy: Google images Lost his way, the child
