Blind with eyes open

You tune out when they need you the most
Can't you see the fragile hands?
Can't you see the pain behind the frame?

Too busy to underpin, you let them take support of peglegs
Have you forgotten the time when he gushed you on your first step?
Have you forgotten the days when he was the gladdest dad watching you crawl and run?

Keeping them happy in a swish house full of likewise geezerhoods,
Is similar to providing freedom to a bird in cage.
All they ask for is some time worthwhile, not seeing you turn guile
So open those eyes, wake up and foster those dry leaves.

Nostalgic

There was a time not long ago
When there lived an angel
Never knew her charm, nor her magic spells
Sari clad, oh she used to mingle

She worked through day and night
Seldom glancing into her wishing well
Trying to please folks around
With lotsa lines about

Then came a time
When the stress took its toll
But then she realized
It was too late to fight the blow

Slowly her light started to fade
To make her glow forever in fame
Wishing her presence in good and bad times
Amma we miss you every single second!

Between holding a hand and chaining a soul

After a while you learn the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn mean learning and
company doesn mean security,
And you begin to learn that kisses aren contracts
and presents aren promises,
And you begin to accept your defeat with your head
up and you eyes open, with the grace of an adult,
not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all you roads on today
because tomorrow ground is too uncertain for
plans.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if
you get too much.
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own
soul, instead of waiting for someone else to bring you
flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure...
That you really are strong,
And you really do have worth.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

Is there a reason for the imbalance

What goes on in the minds of abundance

Wondered how it feels when everything fails

Destiny of those with full of ails

Share what you have today

Coz you may need some of it tomorrow

It's a game of fate

Better late than being narrow

Sparsity of love and time

Coz there are many to part with the dime

I ensure you will cherish the days

When you find the truth of His ways

Poème

I’m just not me
Coz of the queer queer world
I’m just not me
Can you help me change?

I wish I could blur it out
But I know its goanna fade
I hope it’s a prank
By the one we were made

Long nights feel so still
Days rush to reach there too
Yet another day yet another cloud
I wish it pours all night long

So many stars and brightening lights
Yet so murky around me I feel
Where’s the tang I used to smell
‘Give it to me back’
I wanna YELL!!!


Still Thinking…………………….
Still Lost………………………….
Don’t know where to find the good old cast
