Déjà VU

Moving in the fast lane,

I realized for a moment,

I was moving alone,

In a direction unknown,

To an undecided destination,

Moving away from now to then,

Passing by sorrows and happiness,

I saw a reflection of myself in the stillness of the journey,

Envious of my own self,

Jealous of my shadow,

I tried to ditch myself,

With a few thoughts of a desire,

In the lust to fulfil my ambitions,

I decided to leave behind,

Everything that is keeping me still and afloat,

Sinking in my desire,

I realized,

I am drowning alone.

Curse of Knowing

Laughing sounds of silence,
With smiling faces of emptiness,
Chasing me around all the time,
Whispering your name,
Again and again,
and
Again,
Asking me about you,
Haunting me with loneliness,
Every day and each night,
How can I not tell them?
What they don't know,
You are mine,
Only mine....

Tears

Looking at your face,

In the dim light of the moon,
With darkness spreading across the room,
My heart missed a beat today,
Speaking to myself,
I realized,
When I see your smile disappearing in time,
I try to convince, cheat and lie to myself,
"I am yours",
But I know the truth, and I can't share it with you,
"I love your tears too!"

Whisper

Dreams of today and dreams of tomorrow,
Came together to make me happy for a few smiles and a few sorrows,
If I close my eyes for a sight, I can look at your smile,
Feels like borrowed happiness,
Amazing to hear,
Pleasure to bear,
Just a small wish,
Just a whisper in my ear,
All that you hear is a lie,
I am yours,
I am here...

The Mullah

Dragging myself from place to place,

Tired of taking myself on my shoulders across the time,

In search of a familiar thought,

I see crowds of people,

Disillusioned with their own self,

Blaming each other for their broken dreams,

Claiming to be loyal to their own gods,

Hoping to receive coins of mercy for some extra time....

Transition!

The future and the past came to see me today,
Mesmerized by tomorrow and influenced by my yesterday, I was skeptical of their interests in today,
They both had claims to my present,
Something which non of them have contributed to,
The past says that "you are here because of me!, the steps I have taken and I have been your guiding force to achieve your today",
The future says "I have always been your inspiration, how can you defy my right to today?"
In a confused state of present, I have to abandon my past while refusing the bounties of the future,
I am today, what I am!!

Insecure!

Surrounded by the theists of insecurities,

Competing to block each other,

Claiming their right to shine,

Suffocating each other to charm,

Wishing each other fall to disgrace,

With the same right they want to rise,

Rising above the rainbow among the clouds of faith and beyond...

Visitor from the Past

He came to see me after such a long time,

The shadow from my past,

"How are you old friend?", he asked me,

"Have you abandoned me or have you forgotten me?",

"Where have you been?", he asked me,

"I have been looking at you from a distant past", he told me,

"I am not ready", I told him,

With a hallow smile and a reluctant hug I told him to go away....

Living in the Moment

We are both living in the same moment,

You at the start and I at the end,

Looking at each other, for each other.

Feeling Blue!

With the advent of the evening, when the sun starts to go down to sleep slowly,

I look at the sky and start missing a face,

The innocent smile of time, gradual laugh of the moon, reminds me of the emptiness of my being,

As the stars starts to appear gradually,
the horizon becomes playground for my thoughts,

writing your name,
so the universe can whisper it to Him,

Reminding me of the innocence of today for the guilt of tomorrow...

Looking for Myself

Looking into myself,

I found the young smiling at the old.

Blank

Blank.....
