Dedicated to the two pillars my world stands on...

when the night was dark

and the way unknown

how did u still

lead me back home

when the body was bleeding

and the weapons gone

tell me how

u still fought on

when emotions were still

and eyes were dry

u still kept smiling

tell me why

how do u make all moments so bright

why do i feel u r always right

why does every fairytale

make me believe

your values will prevail

why do all deceiving eyes

convey to me

that truth will rise

whenever the wrong

battles the right

wat makes me speak

"i will fight"

yes it is your firm conviction

that truth is always

mightier than fiction

its your belief that makes me say

that my footsteps

will never go astray

no, gratitude would be too small a word

to tell you dear parents

that YOU ARE MY WORLD!!

बचपन का वो आश्वासन

शायद था अंधविश्वास

दोषी भी तो शायद

है अपनी ही आस

स्वार्थ लिप्त इस दुनिया मे
भावनाओं का मोल नही
गूंगापन मंज़ूर यहाँ है
पर मन के सच्चे बोल नही

रह जाता है पंछी फड़फ़डा कर अपने परों को
तोड़ने को आतुर वो लोहे कि उन छड़ों को

एक एक कर ढहता है धीरज का हर स्तम्भ

आहत मन का दंभ है

या है साँसों का हड़कंप

आंखें जैसे खोयी हों
टूटे सपनों की समीक्षा मे

निगल ना जाये रात इन्हें

भोर कि प्रतीक्षा मे

फूँक कर रखने हैं कदम

कहीं छूट ना जाये संयम
और टूट ना जाएँ कहीँ

"सुसंस्कृत" समाज के

ये दृढतम नियम

ambition!!

silent creatures
silent skies
silent r these waking eyes
but thumps away the beating heart
all set to tear itself apart
and the active roving mind
oscillates far n behind...

when the world sleeps
they r wide awake
choosing to put
all at stake

its a constant drive
a blazing fire...
an unsatiable deep desire...
to keep the storm blowing by
to keep the tides rising high...

there r numerous embers in the urn...
still alive n ready to burn.


the anxious surge of blood n passion!
the strong emotion..tamed ambition..!

A Contrast With Life

All the while i struck

a contrast with my life

with tons of grief in my heart

I have learnt to smile

while I'm mum like a doll

and emote like a toy

I wonder whether its my sorrow

or my search for joy

To talk about all else

but keep shut my grief

to relieve others' cravings

and myself crave for relief

The distances are too long

its so hard to get ashore

not a glimpse of the land

and hurdles such galore

its a battle.....a silent one.

its a battle......that can never be won.

for i had dreamt of the sky

which was pretty much too high

and the nature's wierd rules

are too tough to defy

so I struck a contrast

with my beloved life

and amidst the looming darkness

I lit my torch alight

yes..life is a lost battle

but I prefer to fight

to enjoy the course of the strife

and go with all smiles..

Sometimes u win

and u dont know it....

this battle where both of us lose each day....

Sometimes u manage

to make me feel

the heat from ur soul smouldering away...

when your meandering melancholy seeps quietly

through the invisible barriers I have created......

and i watch helplessly-the long gathered heaps of my strength...melting away..

transforming into fluid compassion....

And i know u won again

when my heart breaks into a billion pieces...

watching u cling to a thin thread....

oscillating between the fear of losing...

and the meaninglessness of winning....

But what u fail to know is...

I know, I feel, and I die everytime my realisations come alive....

We both are fighting......u your fears....and me my pretence.
