Bring Me Home

In the woods of this far off land, where no lights fall upon.
I walk in numbness with no direction I could call mine.
So in circles I chose to walk for a little while,
In search of ends where some hopes were still alive.

The woods felt like graves, of laughter died long before.
And the leaves stood still, keeping it static in the heart.
Neither did no birds fly, to whom I could talk for a while.
Nor did no winds blow, and it sucked me out of this life.

This was no land where life survives, so how could I do.
But I had to walk down here, for no home owned this mind.
It hence took me to the wilds, where stillness was paranoid.
So far from home it kept me going, or just made me stand in a void.

And when my knees wrecked, and hands felt broken.
I fell down and screamed in pain, to gods that never existed.
“Bring me home, Oh dear Lord!” Some place I could call mine.
Why was I lost in desperation, for who left me a million times.

It was something my soul was made up, that it exists in pieces.
Broken in a thousand parts, It still stumbled its way out of dark.
These lands and lives were in a carnival of despair,
Everything was murdering my bones here, and that too beyond repair.

So when I pleaded with a voice so shattered, asking to bring me home.
How sudden I stopped in the mid of prayers, realizing it was already gone.
I remember it had closed its door for me, and left me in woods to roam.
No matter I knew it didn’t want me back, I’d still scream “Just Bring me Home”.

An Enchanting Confession.

What it feels like. Could I ever be expressing this. Every time some music, high or low, drops in the heart. And I know I've risen. In melody, Every time some words are sung, that you and I are always afraid to say. Then there rise some other beat that resonate with your breath, and you are left with just goosebumps all over. Staying high has always been a habit, Staying high on music, and yeah staying high on life. Love! Has there been any bigger addiction. No? As when the beat drops and the soul is lost in utter silence, the heart comes pounding in the rhythm of memories No wonder leaving the chest withered. No deep breaths make the self sober, and I never wish to break this dream of life. For when I wake to reality with no enchanting emotions and still pale faces around, I fall apart, every time, singing lullaby to self.

I Know You Believe

 To the Dearest You, Breathing under the same sky as of mine, Staring at the same moon and praying for life. We’re in the same shoes my dear, With a million others trying to fit in that fine. So I’ll sing to you in a rhythm, That matches the beat of your heart. For we live a miracle of our own making, The belief in us shall stand firm and hard. We’ve embraced the chaos, the world’s burning in. The agonies, trauma and a million sufferings. We’ve seen them struggling on their ways, Inspired to walk on our own with a grace. Yes! I know you believe that you can, Walk on the thorns this life puts further. I know your smile remains the best attire, For you’re a brook in a world’s wild fire. I’ve seen your eyes wide open, Believer! I’ve seen through it a beautiful world, you believe in. The strength you have in those glittering eyes, Can see a brighter future, the world might be living in! I know you believe that innocence has st...

A CASE OF LOVE AND HATE

It has dawned to observe the demise of solidarity And I woke up from a sleepless night to prepare the judgment.  The case of Riya’s murder wasn’t the toughest to solve But it’ll brawl with the heads of those existing inside a box.  Her friends were abled differently with strange senses of disability Rahim is deaf by birth and that Ram - he cannot see.   She invited them both on her birthday to observe her last Both had decided to ask her out. She was pretty, who wouldn’t want. The two went to her farmhouse. A poem in Hindi and other phrased in Urdu Rahim had written in his silence, and Ram recorded in his dark.  She was blowing candles and both sang a birthday song Rahim winked and held her hand, and Ram confessed he loved her all along. Riya managed and kept secret as none knows the other confessed She signed them both separately that she’d respond the next dawn. But amidst their beautiful time on the porch when the sun dusked ...
