I burnt, but then I shone

I got an idea once,

Weird though, but seemed new

I went to myself- that untouched one

and brought four candles

Lit them all, quite bright they shone

Picked the first, was called “sorrow”, I read

Wondered why it was shining brightest

Ah! Was about to finish,

Those who shine bright, always fade soon

Then came the candle called “love”

Beautiful, gracious like a seraph, of dreams

White, like a morning cloud in sky

But like sorrow, it too bid goodbye

Third seemed firm than rest of all, “friendship”

Pink, the color, I remember it had

Lasted for long, seemed with me from ages

Nightmare alive, when I saw, it too went off

The last one, now very dim, gone almost; was my “faith”

was kept in middle of others

centered, as if for help, I picked it up and blew it off

Its all dark now..

who sees any ways—You laugh, You cry and then You die

Dying to live, living to die

There goes the love
bathing in the gloomy darkness
Its dark inside
darker than tonight's 'blackout'
Bodies everywhere, some died, some ripped
while others, waiting for one

Its not the death of the few hundreds
but of the millions, who were watching
A way when the hearts stop beating
of those who died, of those who killed

Lying on the street
waiting for my final terminous
Just a thought went across my senses
senses; though numb now, almost lost

"Is it what I longed for??"
I thought I know the answer
answer surely was "No", I thought
Alas, I was wrong or proved wrong

Time flew faster

--Its most “intresting” to wait for the one when you know
The one for whom you are waiting wont ever return back

--It hurts when your love goes away, but seems a PJ when
Someone says that your love won’t ever come back

--Its different, seems new to loose someone in this life
But makes stronger as you never loose anyone again

--It’s rare to love sum1 and get it back in return
So is the other way round

--Friends applaud, seems the show is over now
But when is the next one? I’m waiting

--Difficult, to love someone whom you hate
Impossible to hate the one you ever loved

--Waiting from tat very second you haven’t looked back
Not grown a single second, waiting in tat second only

Mistitle Beauty

“Some one teaches you the meaning of frenship & goes away
And you wait forever for the day of her return
To learn the way how to live without ‘em
And a day comes saying aloud
“She Can’t come back”
Today also my best moments I spend are with you
Fact been I don’t call ‘em Dreams any more…

Chanting hushes

I was there last twilight, till my silent moon came
Set beside my and asked
“For whom are you waiting Raj”?
Candid, but for me rather sad sign,
“How could it be other than you!!” I said

Only this and a few silent moments to fill that night
The sun came next day and I, just walked away
I remember I looked back once, just to give a smile
That’s it, that’s all
I remember someone was sitting there, that last time I looked back
She was there still…

Day when I Dreamt

“I died one day”
Everything stopped, seemed too weak
Nature around was cold, colder than myself
God today was silent, no psalms, no intones, everything too meek

And yes, a party, with me numb; someone called that day
My hopes, my dreams, my future; all went astray
From that day on, there was no future for me
All had tomorrow, with me nothing left to see

I tried to wake myself up, to do little more
Even when I knew, I did everything for sure
Money was there, my family I love
But still wanted to do little anew, big dreams to serve

“Many die daily”
Die off their wealth, love or health
The worst are those I remember I knew
Are those who die off their Dreams

Chirping was that bird’s dream
Aroma dreamt by that flower
Shining in dark once dreamt by my moon
Indeed living means dreams, nothing unknown, afar

And Pretenses Followed

I was there last twilight, till my silent moon came
Set beside my and asked
“For whom are you waiting Raj”?
Candid, but for me rather a sad statement,
“how could it be other than you !!” I said
Just this much and a few silent moments to fill that night

The sun came next day and I just walked away
I remember I looked back once, just to give a smile
That’s it, that’s all
I remember someone was sitting there, the last time I looked back
I believe in no one and no one believes in me...
So there was my no one sitting, believing in both of us
