Numbness

I've stopped listening to my cuckoo bird,

the one that's there, from the day I fell in love

love: with life, its joys, its smiles and its sorrows of course

The cuckoo bird still comes, at times

sitting on the parched, deserted tree, the tree whole roots boasted life, once

The tree was green back then,

the bird's voice had the canny softness

My dreams were my life once,

My life, a dream worth living forever

For sure, I said, many a times, love is there in people's heart

For sure, I said, I'll find one, one day

Love; hah, They proved me wrong

Forget even life, found just bodies draped in gold

Who can teach 'em, gold needn't be lovely

lovely diamonds well nigh will be proved stones, in the end

The charm subdued in that missed morning rose

The charm that they just concealed,

or may be just never saw at all

Heart- Thread of life

There is not a single heart,
that misses no one,
and it beats, just to say
Hey you'll be remembered here, inside me, forever

You might be not there,
but these beats tonight,
the one I am holding in my chest
are a proof that yes you are held too close

Close enough that when the d-day will come
the last dawn of my life
when these breaths will have to stop, gasps may be harder
when eyes will blink for the last few moments

I'll pass on those same vibes
one I held too close to me
To someone subtle enough to care it
One who'll pass on to the other...

Then I'll fully complete the whole circle of life or at least my small part in this big circle of life, which keeps on moving as if forever. At least my small part

Martyr

Bang, and yes my Sepoy is down
my own blood, wasn't he ?
I cried a lot, haven't I ?
Me to be proud, or feel hurt, but fr sure,
he proved, he loved me back

Bang, few moments before the fatal bullet,
machine guns, roaring loud
artillery, filling the dusky cloud
And only once, the thought of her
went across in a wink, before he was dead

Bang, he saw his past,the moments that briskly ran away
Feet of his mother, yes he still feels the last touch, sigh
Those rosy cheeks of his daughter Miya, moist in the tears of 'bbye'
Eyes of a wife, no single blink, bidding adieu with a numb stare
Wanting to stop the time in that moment forever, she can't

Bang, and yes my Sepoy was down
died for whom ? Yes, my own people
Just to pass on few words
"I gave my everything for you";
"Please love my land, the way I do"

Fear and Care

Its cold, little moist in the murky darkness
just poured out, few sprinkles, thats all
I smelled the sand, each grain of it
seemed singing the same node, the node that binds us all.

The full moon of the night, half covered with clouds
As if hiding some secrets from me
Glides slowly behind the shades
Trees, all got a new puff of air to breath

Will it rain again, who knows
will the sand, the trees or the Air around
be joyous again, who knows
But I learnt 1 thing for sure...

Is the sand thinking of tomorrow's rain ?
I guess not.
Are the trees, birds sad , thinking they might dry the next moment ?
That too, I'm sure is a No

Then why do we cry, on the cost of happiness
How can the fear of tomorrow kill the joy of the day
Fear and Care ...
The words are rhyming, but fatal to mix-up with

Holy Love

God made the sun,

love gave it, the shine

God made the stars,

love made them twinkle

God made the red rose

love called it beautiful

God made the mountains

love said they are serene

God or a Devil

I see God in my love,

or is she really a God, itself !!!

The one you love, you make her god

the one who loves you back, makes you the god, right !!!

Humans can't be loved then, only gods can

If humans do; they can't hate at all,

And if they really can't,

They are the Gods, for sure

Love and God, Love or God

God is everything, he is everywhere,

Love is God, I know ... Love is nothing, it seems nowhere too

How can God be smaller than Love !!!

Or may be He is

silhouette

अब तेरा नूर, तेरी ही रौशनी,

हर एक चेहरे मे है ||

बस उसी मे सबसे ज्यादा दिख जाए

तो ज़िन्दगी काट लेंगे ||

~~

Now I see your shadow, though dimmer, in every face I see.

Just incase, got them brightest in her face,

Will spend my whole life, in those moments forever
