SEASONS

Seasons come and go
They don't last that long
And wait for us to write
That seasons song
Winters are cold, Summers are warm
Monsoons are moist, Autumn is calm
They do what they are meant to
Each year without any qualm

BE MY ANGEL

The clouds hover as I speak
Over my head filled with thoughts
Of nothing but death and being weak
Come, be my angel, end my draught

PERPETUAL SPREE

So here I go, into the wind
Putting everything behind
Fly I do, into the skies
Away from the joys and cries
In this realm, I feel free
Love to make this a perpetual spree
From where I shall never come back
Just fly with freedom filled backpack
Down there, the town is full of clowns
Wearing so-called tuxedos and gowns
Up here, I don’t have to keep on anything
No-one to ask or feel for a thing
Ashes I have become, murdered by mortality
The freedom it has given from fake morality

SO I SEE IN A BUS

A plethora of countenances few joyful
Looks galore hardly any soulful
Withered by the mundane and mediocre days
Battered by the busy life’s ways
Cursory gestures at the conductor's behest
Neither a contest nor a protest
I see them all and I see them in me as well
Not so different from a frog in the well
At every stop, some get down while some stay
The story of each one seems the same to convey
All alike give lifeless glares
What’s life when it’s all just empty stares

MIGHTY BEAUTY

The dawn comes to wake you

Dew drops sprinkle to make you

The sun makes tea to make you feel warm

Noon comes to your abode to find some calm

At dusk, sun gets to see your dance

Before it fades away merrily into trance

The stars now wonder while moon is praising

Its night for world, but for you the day is rising

Trees walk to serve you their delicious fruits

And sing songs that touch you hearts roots

The milky way milks you into sleep

Joyfully, it sways after stealing your peep

The universe says, "Bye Bye mighty beauty"

We shall wait to hail you again as our duty

HERD RULES

I've been told to do this and not that
Write this and not that
Be sane and don't go crazy
Life shall doom and the future is hazy
If I won't do whatever they asked for

In the garb of lions they are a herd of sheep
I got to know this when I got a bit deep
They frame the rules
If not followed, call me a fool

I want my space, where I won't be told
And their rights and wrongs won't be sold
Escape I shall if it's worth my freedom
I shall smile carefree and not seldom

IN THE SCHOOL

When I was in the school
I had made myself a fool
I saw her coming to my side
She seemed to be a high tide
From, the sea for an unknown reason
Turning this moment a romantic season
As she was about to cross
I held her hand in a fizzy
She said “It’s so Gross”
And slapped me back that make me dizzy
I fell into the dreams of her where she embraced me
But, truly she did walk away while fell on ground
Going round and round as I dreamt, she embraced me
But when I opened my eyes
I saw many laughed at me, and even her
That made me a fool
When I was in the school.

MOON AS A GIFT

May the night be held in our arms

May the moon be taken in our palms

As I present moon as a gift

Before day breaks in and sets us adrift

LEARNING TO FLY

An earthbound misfit seeks the skies
And thus, tries till he just flies
To fly away from the cauldron of hate
And the melancholy, seeking respite
With the winds blowing hard
How shall, one stand strong

(*Inspired from lyrics of "Learning to Fly" and "Lost Words" of Pink Floyd)

JUST SAY

Give up, give in, give a way
Come in, come on, go away
Sleep, creep, weep, but just say
That, I am for you and you are for me
So let's go out and play

ALL ARE TRUE

Your looks kill me

I am ready to die for you

Your lips seduce me

All the above said are true

BEING SUPERHUMAN

All my friends have a girlfriend

How does it feel to me?

Does it seem good, or is it just the end?

If you ask me this

I feel like a God who has his end
As life is just a game and plays the way you want

Come on baby, just say along

That today this is my song

Of life with love, but without a girlfriend

I know that for many, I am just human

But for the unknown yet, perhaps I am superhuman

PACK OF CARDS

Hold a pack of cards and look at the jack
He is alright, but the mighty king
Oh, he is so bright
He, who has no mustache is the king of hearts
While other kings are fine but he is a bit smart
The queen's beauty entices me into romance
Perchance she comes and perhaps, we dance
The numbers do not mean much
But to fill the pack they are a must
While the ace tops them all 
And with his trump, he stops them all

RUN FOR TRAIN

When on run, to catch a train
It doesn't matter if it's sun, cold or rain
Head down and with swift feet, I just run
For, I may miss a day or a lifetime fun
All our life we sweat and save
And end up in a shallow grave
Throwing all we got and what others gave
So, meanwhile why to miss the fun?
Thinking this, I am on the run towards the train
Though in hurry and pain
I finally caught it and that was my biggest gain
Thus, ended the feat when I found my seat
And away went all the pain
Yet, there was fun in running for the train.

HAPPILY EVER AFTER

Call me when sweetness has dried
From the lips that have lost the word
And from the taste buds where taste has died
While mind has lost its world
As it could not squeeze love from it's loved one
And cannot get to me, leaving those whom you loved too
In such a fix, a God comes and weaves his magic trick
Asks to lose the mind and live with heart
So be it, if others have to part
But get the love, that would make life a tale
That ends with the line "Happily Ever After" 

POEM OF LOVE

The dog outside my home barks
The lizard crawls swiftly on walls
There is heat in the air and no sign of rain
The clouds vanish and the sky becomes blue
When I write a song of pain

But, when I write a poem of love
The crows fly to give way to doves
The dog is merry and the lizard doesn't move
The breeze becomes cold and clouds bring rain
Oh, what nature I see, that needs just some love
So, I wrote on love to be happy
Coz, I'd be happy when others are happy

END OF STRIFE

With a messed up mind and screwed up life

I attempt to find, the thing that ends my strife

The reason, why I should live

For what and whom I must be

Why take and what to give

Why these queries come, just to me

Found me in a whirlpool

Where in every swirl, there's self-empathy

Figuring out the end of this whirlpool

None and nothing shows any sympathy

But got to know a thing again and again

That most things done in life just go vain 

And the inevitable death relieves all pain

WINTER WEAR

When in the winter, I wore the sweater
While it got cold and I just got it sold
Got some money to buy some rum
To make myself warm in the snow storm
But it didn't work and I had to bear,
The cold till I got another one to wear

SPOON WALK

I walked on the moon holding a spoon
So to have lunch, waiting for the noon
Hoping against the hope in innocence
That here too the sun would rise soon

WONDERFUL SMILE

Why does the sun dawn every dawn,
And moon every night, if not for you
If not for you, I wonder why was music made 
And why there is noise when you feel sad
The earth rotates and even revolves
If not for you, why would it make such a resolve
The moon shines brightly all through the night
If not for you, why stars twinkle at night
Rain pours, snow falls and sun gives heat
If not for you, why does nature do such a feat
So hard to beguile as you sit for a while
Flowers blossom and leaves sprout
All work hard, to catch a glimpse of that wonderful smile
Which comes on, only in joy and not in melancholy or doubt
