Irony

I shrugged with disgust
Spilling my abhorrence
For my worthless life

Yet life loved
And bestowed
Unasked boons

Which seemed
Futile to my
Arrogant mind

Resolute to end
Consumed a pinch
Of pallid poison…

I sensed you
From my
Cataleptic state

Few hours of care
You bestowed
To a sinking soul

A sudden gush
To outwit death

But Irony of my fate….
I was a little late….

I learnt life
When life hated ………

Yes, I learnt life
When life betrayed………..

Second Chance

Sweet memories
Buried deep pops up

The silver strands
On the familiar faces
Makes me realize
That ages have passed

Yet all seems the same
Just like yesterday…

Time relapses
To a stage
Where life knew
No worries

I wish to accomplish
So much…..
That I had blindfolded
I wish to rewrite
Few pages of my life

If life could give me
A second chance….

Rainbow

I see a ray of hope
Peering through the somber sky
The moistened mist touches
The layers of my inner heart
I rise from my hibernation

To discover
The rainbow of my life

A wait of year long

A kiss
On my eye lids

A shower
Of your care

I taste your sweetness
On my lips

Quenching my thirst
Of a wait
Year long….


The first rain….

Innocence Lost

Innocence was lost
As she bumped
Into the doorways of
The brutal world

The vibrant masks
Veiling the vicious ogre
Was ruptured

As the feeble teen
Stumbled upon the
Bitter truth

At nights she wrapped
In the swathe of her sheets
To shun the daemon’s kiss

A secret her own
She wanted to spit
But a deserted soul
Frightened she was

She struggled
With all her valor
Protecting her purity

The world will now acknowledge
She is unblemished
A true warrior

I wish not to die

Perplexed and perturbed
Pen I grab
I blow my life
And in my verses I survive

Sometimes I blabber
Some random thought
Sometimes I etch
The reflection of my heart

Sometimes I portray
A tinge of delight
Sometimes in gloom
My pen halts

However dire
It may seem
I do not wish to die
I plead not for extols
Or fallacious words

Slash apart
Assess my flaws
Don’t let me plunge
Into an unreachable horizon

As I wish not to die
But, I wish to rise
Tampering my flaws

As I wish not to die
I wish to rise
Flowering my potency

If tomorrow comes

I wish to admire
The warmth of the scarlet sun
The sweetness of the dew drops
The freshness of the early dawn
The scent of the vivid blossoms
If tomorrow comes

I wish to show my gratitude
To my parents and siblings
To my teachers and preachers
To my subordinates and bosses
To my colleagues and pals
If tomorrow comes

I wish to conclude
The undone tasks
The unsaid words
And see the unseen places
And feel unfelt emotions
If tomorrow comes

Lain at the rim of my life
As I wait for the fiend of death
I wish to understand
Death after life
Life after death
If tomorrow comes…..
