The Walk.

This cold winter touches my cheek as i walk,

This walk,down the dark shadowed trees,

These street lamps speak to me,

The song on the radio reminds me of,

The days that i spent last year.

The same lanes that i walked on,

The same fogged up lights as they peep,

The thing that changed is my heart,

Freedom and free spirit is what i live with now.

Good bye warm memories,

Welcome new ones,

I walk alone,

Yet, I walk strong!!

The Bleak Revival

This turbulent force in my life is sweeping me away,

Into an abyss that has no ground bottom.

The revolting emotions pounce on my flesh like blood thirsty slugs,

These I cannot wave away as I have no blood to offer.

The thundering bolts of lightning seems so close now,

I tend to wear the imaginary cap that saves me and cajoles me in its care.

That day was near I never had fathomed,

When the devoted misery came greeting with open arms.

I am scared that this scar will remain for a lifetime,

Because I know it will never go away.

The happy memories I had will all be dark and grim,

The laughter, a sign of happiness has shunned my way.

I am in a state of limbo,

When will I revive I do not know.

My Childhood Days.

My childhood days take me back to the makeshift burrow made of tall grasses,

Amidst the green orchard that lay by my house.

My childhood days take me back to the shining water stream from where we drank,

The tranquil sound of the clear water still resounds in my ears.

My childhood days take me back to the tiny flour mill that fascinated us,

As we watched the mill churn the brown roasted barley grains into white flour.

My childhood days take me back to the times when we dashed uphill towards the monastery,

As we filled the fields with our songs and our laughter while we raced.

My childhood days take me back to the brook where we laid down by the edge of the green grass,

All we did there was try and pick up our favourite pebbles with our mouth.

My childhood days take me back to my tiny friends,

From whom I learnt to shoo a cow and chase the sheep if they went astray.

My childhood days take me back to the place  I call home,

The place where I was born.

My childhood days will never come back,

but they are etched beautifully in my mind.

I hope every little soul gets the chance to run free,

To live alive, to experience all that is full of innocence 'coz

Happy childhood memories is all that a four year old would wish for.

The stranger that i knew!

Today

I saw the stranger that i knew,

The stranger i felt at ease with,

The one i trusted,

The one who made my day.

Today

I felt so hollow inside,

Like the hollow trunk of a hollow tree

With roots deep down,

But the tree, that will never grow.

Today

My emotions came rushing back,

To take control,

To make me realize,

How far apart we had grown.

Today,

We saw each other,

A weird bond that now defines us,

As

'Strangers Forever'.

Encircling this sealed notion of 'emotions'
Trying hard to neglect and give a damn,
 Resolutions seem so far flung ed
that now i don't even care!

Streaming through this ardent ocean of awesomeness
I just don't stop
I have stopped looking back
And now i am alive
Not holding back any emotions
Instead just letting go.

You see me

You confuse me like the mirage on the mountain road,

Just when I feel I am near you,

You disappear into the thin air leaving me aghast at my stupidity.

Then again like the sultry summer breeze I see you again.

You are shrouded with mystery,

Luring all that is beautiful,

Like the wisp that lures the destiny of an innocent forester

I follow you;

Without stopping for a second.

I keep my mind at peace,

Hoping I don't have to be scared and lured at,

But then you appear

and again I am robbed off of my surety.

Singled out by Words.

I feel singled out,
I feel blotched in my head,
You, my friend are to be blamed,
Silly words i thought, but i was wrong,
You govern the existence of mankind,
Certainly your karma must  have been great,
Or else you just got lucky to have been made.
