deck of fifty two
year of opportunities
lets find a new deck
I am the dusk
then it will be dark
fiery ball cools
weary of the scorching day
sliding down rapidly
pulling the rays down
pausing briefly at the rim
Just for one last look
at its creation
before it is night
last stroke of golden brush
paints the sky crimson
I am the dusk
slowly turning dark
last rays lingers on my wings
warming it, to be alive
it no time to be trapped
its my final flight
I reach out to the glowing light
and I soar
its a new day
Mighty mountain
or a wisp of vapour
mist covers the seen
what a spectacle
a lunatic dream
truth veiled by Sheen
drops of rain trickle
Wet rushing winds bring the chill
snow awaits above
दीवारों पे टंगी तस्वीर ने
बेजुबान कई कहानियां
अतीत की आवाज़ चुरा कर
आज मुझे सुनाया है
कैद कर वो लम्हा
तस्वीरों के बेजान पन्नों पर
फिर आज जैसे
वही एहसास लौट आया है
नज़र धुंधला गई है
आंखे नम हो गई है
तस्वीर वहीं दीवार पे थम गई है
पर अरमानों ने उड़ान भर ली है
समय की सूइयों को
मोड़ने का ख्याल आया है
उस लम्हे को फिर से
जीने का ख्वाब सजाया है
समय की रेत को टटोला
तो वो लम्हा हाथ आया है
उसी लम्हें में पूरी उम्र
गुजारने का ख्याल आया है
Long day unwinds
tired limbs drag
Weary eyes burn
i feel the fire
walking in the wood
towards the sunset
leaves crumble beneath my feet
i feel the earth
taller than the trees
rays paint my face golden
breeze ruffle my curls
i feel the air
staying still and calm
feet dipped in the flow
cool till the soul
i feel the water
the skin is shed
and the within too
I merge
i am the space
I obscure the sun
Golden rays scorch my being
Shadows create dusk
Who am I?
Is being revealed
Every layer of mine
Is being unpeeled
I am what you see in me
I am what I want to be
He is a performer
puts up a show
he is a star
turns up the glow
there he shoots up
blazes the sky
bursting open
into millions, up high
the blaze is blinding
he is the light
there is no darkness
in the smile so bright
Show’s over
everyone’s happy
the tickets are strewn
the place looks crappy
The mask is peeled
grin stays pasted
the night is over
the dawn lays wasted
its a new day
all over again
there will be a new act
for he has to entertain
he is a performer
he puts up the show
no one sees the tear
behind the blinding glow
There they are,
imaculate and pure
cocooned in innocence
untouched by life
We have moved on
weaving our destinies
through fuzzy maze of time
with our own tussles and strife
‘Then’ has drifted away from the ‘Now’
seperated by layers of time
each twist n turn charting separate paths
each moment playing a dice
That moment still floats
serene in my mind
far away to touch and feel
yet close enough to entice
the mind knows I cannot
but the heart still pines
if i could go back,
it would be nice
But If if did reach that moment
through sheer force of love
I wonder what it would take
for my yearning to suffice
I would re-live the moment
Tempted to tell whats in store
Guide them of the twist n turns
of the pitfalls lurking in disguise
But I know I wouldn’t have the heart
to take away the god’s gift
of uncerain possibilities of life
be it good or otherwise
I would just watch
as they play in the moment
imaculate and pure
cocooned in innocence
untouched by life
