Departure haunts
sad piercing
but beautiful
you give life to a memory
that could have created a history
now alone you face the tragedy
it's will of Almighty
nothing can amend it

Now let go the past
live on a new life at last
for you shall never again
from here pass
keep the past
as a flavor that was not ever cast

So move on to another path
forget pain and wrath
Have mercy on him
let peace now
Time alone to you bring

Your love blankets me as I fall asleep.
For once again I'm in a bed that's not mine,

With ruffed sheets and tattered pillows.
And I miss hearing your sleep machine,
my whispered lullaby.

Driving daily on these rachet roads
filled with nobodys, and hopping trains
fouled by drunks.
I'm still traveling with you.

I snap all your favorite cities, and
buy yet another mug.

This one says CHICAGO.

Locating the destination,
The greatness and success,
started smoothly.
From that pole to the unknown.
Testimonies comes from
Either good or bad journeys.
Without wings I wished,
But flying is not for all.
A straight finger pointed
without doubt.

MEDITATION WHILE BIKING DOWNHILL

Down, down, cruising on the country road
One perfect moment reveals the next:
Eyes fused to the landscape whizzing by
While the tongue of sweet wind
Seems to lick throughout the skin;
The scent of pungent soil and tree sap
Delights the face with primal smelling;
My body is suspended in the joy of balance-
This must be how the spiraling bird feels
Surfing the wind currents among the clouds!

Living in my own world
Alone and safe in this tranquility
Forced to come out of my shell
Scared to take a leap of faith
Competing with the best
Knowing i would be beaten at the test
A competition meant to be fair
Hoping to emerge the best pair
Exercising the spirit of sportmanship
Hoping not to ruin a valuable friendship
Fighting to lead an impossible group
Hope i wouldn't be thrown out by a coup
Though they do not believe in me
Atleast now i know the true ones indeed
I may not be the winner

It’s your childhood home with the power out;
a high-school dance alone.

It’s one vacant, fading power-line,
a head in a corn-field
mouthing
“fuck it,
fuck it all.”

So put Winter on a platter already,
choke us all with snow.
For elderly don’t watch the dead leaves fall
they died themselves mere months ago
let them go
let them go
let them go.

“Smile more,”
she says, in a tongue well cursed
so I spit in the dust, where should be snow.

A late night soiree with silence and sternness and silk-laced shoes
and me,
of course,
and you.

Pupils hold pixels thrown from silver screens;
that dance across the pine-wood floors.
We listen to whispered recipes
to turn clay back into gold.

Canned laughter, flood lights,
perpetually happy crowds.
But no-one's seething still.

Yet through it all, through all of it
this second-hand, second-rate youth
we'll continue to pause in moments and wonder
if not yet, when it'll all get good.

Staring at the stars at night
Searching for the lightest twinkle bright
In pain of the event
That pushed me to the extreme extent
Nurturing a passion for revenge
Searching deep for the fault in our stars
Living in my dark shadow
Neglected by the friends i show
Unbothered they are about my feelings
Wondering the truth behind their healings
Crossing with a fearless heart
Hiding the scar caused from the past
Blaming the fault in our stars
Just might be caused by the violent clouds

The world does not, revolve around us
It evolves, from within us
Life is not a privilege, on us bestowed
It is a gift, by us owed

Kindness is a virtue, which we respect
But, it is the thing, we most neglect
Life is not, that complicated
Unless, you don’t appreciate it

Hate, is something we should revile
Yet, it lives within us, all the while
And, if you really think it through
Caring, is so much easier to do

Undaunted was your bravery,
this, to your assailants was a mystery .
Your death was outstandingly heroic,
Inspite of bullet wounds you stood stoic.

Had you engaged your assailants in a duel,
your death would have been impossible.
Only cowards assail a man unarmed .
A pseudo glory they only earned .
