ONE DAY

One day 

Quite sure it will come

I will stare 

Into your eyes 

Drown in the lies 

To find the pearl

Assure myself again 

That one day

I will enjoy 

Your smile 

And fade with it 

Maybe that one day

I will have the guts 

To make sense to you 

And walk away 

With you 

Just one day, ...

That will happen

I believe ...I hope !

CASTLE OF GLASS

It takes a great deal 

To make someone happy and contended

But just a scratch is enough

On the impeccable mirror 

To make its every penny worthless

Just that way

I kept digging deep into a pit

Trying to conceal 

Much of myself

But just when I hit the rocks under

I understood the 

Sands of time has dripped down 

In the hourglass

And the moment had arrived 

To reveal my deepest secrets 

That my heart of glass 

Was broken,

Shattered everyday

Each piece of it

In every possible way 

And my tears found themselves 

None evident, it ever happened 

Picking the pieces in darkness

In the desperate wait 

That there will be a new 

Person to throw the stone on the castle!!

A HEART CRIED, TODAY

I often speak

To that empty silence

And share all my

Thoughts and views

I sunk in 

To just debate with 

The invincible silence always with me

But today

My silence was beckoned by

Someone else 

So brave and bold

Had tears rolling over 

Just as frost on fire 

And as if 

That fire melted melted away

To reveal the deepest agony 

Only when 

A heart cried that day

FOR TOMORROW, I KILLED TODAY

For the sake and greed 

That tomorrow possessed

I broke the promise with today

A great dilemma lie ahead

Between 

Something which meant everything to me 

And 

Everything which meant nothing now

Though one indeed

Good or bad 

Was never the question

Today reminded me 

Of nostalgic moments 

And tomorrow promised me 

Fulfilled dreams

A thought to live in present 

Would murder my future 

And a dream to live my dream 

Would stab TODAY

But give today 

That happiness 

That it forgets the sadness 

Of terminating 

Into the tomorrow

EMOTIONAL ROAD

Negativity engulfed me

On the road 

Of emotional grudges and desires

I die there everyday 

And see others walk past

It seems they are 

Bewitched people

Using magical powers 

To extend a bridge on 

The very trench of emotions

Nothing there 

Ensured me happiness

They all were drained 

As that path of emotion 

Had sucked the last drop 

I fell down everyday 

In the hope of rising 

In the hope that she 

Help me cross over 

And not walk past !!

THE EYES THAT DREAMT

Tired of counting the dreams 

The eyes dreamt every 

Night and day

A place 

Where it was just me

And my friend, happiness

Possessed a uniqueness

With every dream which was 

A step closer to her 

But all that was wept out

Just as the tears flowed by

To realize

Those eyes were not mine 

Not by pity 

But by sacrifice 

I let them obliviate from my memory

And just concealed the 

Secrets of my dreams 

In my heart!!

THE BASKETBALL MATCH

Bereft of the limelight

I strolled towards the arena

The atmosphere added to my tension 

The absence of the great pinched me

Incapably, unexpectedly

Quite immature

I was to stand in his place 

The first match

Was a gift 

Wrapped by unexpected

And revealed victory

It was still a long way

And the next was impossible 

The final day arrived

Hundreds of eyes lingering 

Staring with hope 

It began in good fashion

Time was against us

It leveled the score 

All ready to draw the last blood 

Perhaps not by experience 

But as birth right 

I stood to throw the last

What happened next will be history

But will remain a colossal tribute

To the basketball team

And HARSH!!

WHAT YOU LEAVE BEHIND

The big shots often tell

That seldom

A realization exists

Between the reel life

And the real life

Dreams into reality

Is a long way

Trodden by many

Completed by a few

Some will remember you 

As a name 

Very few will remember you

As a fame 

The reality hides 

Behind the fact 

The number of people 

Feel the essence of your presence 

In your absence!!

  

THE SWINDLER TRUST

I reached a place of uncertainty 

Nine feet above the above the clouds 

Holding onto 

All the branches 

Crushing some on my way 

But still there was someone 

Always there by me 

Probably our trust had brought 

Her here 

That fragile trust 

Was long ago broken 

I could see the reflection 

But the not the real her 

Or 

Maybe someone 

Whispered the poison 

In my ears..

Just drop by drop ... 

TWO FACED HUMAN BEINGS

People change 

Just as seasons 

Only for motives of benefit 

They suffer drastic change

Someone 

With whom greeting were 

A compulsion 

Now looking at each other 

Is a forceful action

Reasons are many 

But life reminded me 

As it it echoed in my ears 

"I am way too short for ALL YOUR GRUDGES"!!
