Butchered - II

Trunk to Branches to Leaves to Stump

Nothing remaining, just butchered

Reason unknown

Motive known

But who cares? Do you?

Only after the last tree has been cut down,

Only after the last river has been poisoned,

Only after the last fish has been caught,

Only then will you find,

That money cannot be eaten...

Butchered; if they could scream, no one would have been so cavalier about cutting them down

Crumpled page

An aspiring professional liar of truths—myself;

A fledgling poet—sits as the light dims

Thoughts flickering

Like flowers growing in proximity,

Perhaps like weeds that choked the other's light.

Why so serious?

Why so gloomy?

A question which light asks;

Why everything so deep?

And why is everyone into it?

Lighten up a bit...

The blue light would soon fade,

Rise up your chin,

To pride

To love

To hate..

Why so many thoughts?

Why so many words?

Why so many reasons?

Does all this give security?

Does all this make it right?

So many words so many feelings,

and yes so much crap!!

None of it is real

None of it brings joy.

The lines are flat upon the crumpled page,

The darkness is arising...

Light is fading...

As I write

I loose the demons in my head,

Delaying them,

Just letting the light take over,

Me and my existence...

When it rains

I despise rain at times

But somehow today consider it my best friend

Walking across these deserted grounds,

as water pours all over me...

All over the greenry around...

Making it memorable...

When the rain drops hit my face,

I pulled myself away from thoughts,

And gazed at the water falling from the sky...

The sky crying; a line which I used to say,

But now I know; it doesn't cry...

It helps us cover up our tears,

Help the green leaf enrich their roots,

Spreading fresh oxygen all around...

When it rains, I feel my heart still beating...

When it rains, I feel the nature maximizing its strength...

When it rains, I hear to nobody except the water dripping;

Tip tip tip...

When it rains, I live another life within the scent

which fills the air,

Clearing away all the toxins,

All the evil around...

Making it fresh,

Making it beautiful...

When it rains,

I feel like life's a river,

And I'm the current breaking through...

Ujala

Dil jalega to zamane may ujala hoga

Husn zarron ka sitaron se nirala hoga

Kaun jane ye mohabbat ki saza hai ke sila

Ham kinare pe bhi pahunche to kinara na mila

Bujh gaya chand kisi dard bhare dil ki tarah

Rat ka rang abhi aur bhi kala hoga

The heart would burn again, as the sun sets...
Another heart break,
Another sad ending,
Yes another untold story...
The one I'll tell,
And the one you'll always remember...

The Puddle Perspective

As I stare into this water puddle
A wisp, a shadow of the familiar
Surfaces, wavering...

Life is strange ain't it?
The reflected realm resonates purpose
And design for which differs
Creating an urge to view a different perspective...

I could see right up,
Rather I choose to see in this little puddle,
I choose so, to make it upside down,
To see that am not always right,
To know that there is always another side of life,
An understanding which I wish I had understood...

Gazing into this strange reflection,
I see images beckoning, calling
Unable to drown this deep dejection...
Yet I stare... useless, meaningless
I vent my mind...

Looking at this water...
Which thought all it had was the power of reflecton,
It never knew it's hidden power: the power of perfection...
A true reflection... and another perspective...

Broken Wings

With broken wings and feathers torn.

A tear in each blind eye,

Both legs disjointed, skin is flaming...

And I attempt to fly.

Looking below, to feel for your presence.

I'm hoping to find you there...

Beginning to fall, dying in flight,

I go whizzing past your ear,

See me?

Hear me?

Do you even care?

In the earth I shed my sins..

Screaming in the fire...

Soon I shall emerge again,

Glorious, from the pyre...

Your bitter cold, it cannot freeze me...

Yes am a bastard,

But my blazing flames will encompass you

And for evermore, together we shall be...

Strings

The light began to dim...

Light music starts,

Feet tapping slowly,

as the strings of guitar vibrate...

Sound of camera clicking...

Suddenly the drums shouted in agape,

Like the sound of thunder...

With it lights flood the stage...

Filling the empty space with their roar,

Creating a die for atmosphere...

Every string a different color, a different voice...

Lucid Dream

Captivating me

with the endless teasing

twinkle in my eyes

the shadows dance

as i follow me

Dhalta Sooraj Dheke

Aur Hawa chuke Guzre

Jalwa Woh Nayab tha

Asal tha Yake Khwab tha

Standing before the mirror,

Is it a dream

A lucid dream

I guess

Lurking around me

memories of my temptations,

all mesmerizing

I want you

I want it

I want the substance

The substance which is mesmerizing me

Kuch bhi jo accha lage

Aur milay bhi

Zaroori to nahi

Sach hai per

hai Ajeeb

The shadows of the mirror

The mirror which I stand infront of

still taunt

still hurt

still enlighten my desires

arousing me ever so gently

tickling my senses

Ik andheri si raat

Aur kuch kadmoon ki chhap

Alam ki thi yeh kya baat

Jaise Andhekhi sa ghaat

Confused I am

And will remain

Until the dawning of a newly found hour

Shadows would fade

As I keep on looking at the mirror

the person gazing back at me,

in the mirror remains.

Lurking around me

memories of my temptations,

My lucid dream....

Chori Chori

Ae way mein chori chori teray naal laa layyan akhaan way
Mein chori chori...
Duniya tou jakhaan tay mein duniya
Jakhan tay mein pyar tera rakhan
Way mein chori chori teray naal laa layyan akhan way

-----------------------------------

Without anyone knowing about it, I locked my eyes with you
Very quietly, very discreetly...
I will keep this love hidden from the rest of this world
Nevertheless, the love I have for you is safe
Without anyone knowing about it, I locked my eyes with you
And fell in Love
