Don't forget to smile!





    It is pitching dark. It is black, the color of the sky. I can see nothing
A face roams around in the abyss of my thoughts and a smile lingers in my mind. 

       That is all I have left of you, a vision of the smile, a sound of your laughter, the smell of the perfume you wear, the touch of your coarse hands.

The laughter dominates, brings out an effervescence of joy in the damp air,     waiting to be filled with words.                        
 Silence cuts through my ears, begging to be filled. 

A single voice creates an echo, reverberates and comes back as the same. Can there not be two?    
   
Please say something.

    
Anything!

Currents of time flow, wonder when this moment will be up. 






 Let us make a memory out of it. Smile! Laugh! Show what joy you hold beneath.                                  This second shall not pass sans you.                                   
What I behold cannot be empty, the air vibrates with your thoughts, encrypted and tunneled to some distant land of yours, your personal drop-box.


                                         A happy you, so gentle and innocent!                                                                           
               You know how light glitters in your eyes when you laugh.                                                            
 It is like you shudder off an eon of ages only to become a child again. 

           Serious?! Well you look hot when you are serious, but a bore too. 

                Cling to your kiddo self, the one that betrays all the wrongs and despair of the world, the one that gives birth to your very self every time, the one that rejuvenates you and brings a happy dent smile onto your face.


                            I wish all the good and happiness of the world to land on your side of the path, where you walk shallow.                                    
  
I wish you fathom the depths of which you never seem to mention about and merge out wild and fearless from it,
 overcoming every hurdle like a stallion.

And I wish a 'tickle' to bother you every now and then, so that that broad smile splashes across your face     every time, all the time.


 
Back to light, back to the world! Over and out!

Just settle down with rain


Settling down with rain
Into the puddles, stagnant and calm
Where even the ripples whisper
Into a melodious song



Through the filters of space and time
Being benign in every manner
Molding into the best
With all the peace to gather

Like icicles smooth yet sharp
Slowly formed out of cold
Glittering in the light of dawn
To fathom the self not sold



Risen from the dark and deceived
Hailed from the altitudes
Silvery, washed by the mercury
Ending all up in subdued

Strife marks its end
Tranquility and peace stand duel
The gold lies beneath the chest
The ink gets tainted to quill



The words come out as river
From the peninsula to the wide
The beds have shells and pearls now
No meaning in disguise



Purity speaks and shines in white
When the sun burns out to speak
And the lilies blossom and please the eyes
Once when ceases the bleak



And so shall on, so shall forth
Given the love a chance
Humble dances with honest
Devoid of constraints in stance



Yearn for letting go,
Holding on gives birth to pain
Look through the window
For let it not be stained
Just settle down with rain


Just settle down with rain.

I & Me



When I am with me
I am not me
The strange paradox haunts over again
Is this really We?

I am not one but two
If not me then who
Lives the present and worries about the past
And brings me back too

Then senses are the same
Then who shall I blame
When I start thinking aloud
Who holds me to tame

I am nothing but mystery
Sometimes I don’t know me
I flip like a coin in air, confused about
What I am and what I want to be

I can’t hold it still
My wishes and my will
I contradict my own self
And com back again to nil

I am not me, not myself
Then who am I, where do I dwell
So Comprehending on ‘I’ and ‘me’
Till I freeze and become still


Know more about Me: I am Change


The Window



There is a window in front of me
Which when I look up I can see
From one among the fallen blinds
That stays upright and discreet

From the view that it displays
I witness clouds and certain haze
The sky looks grayish blue
And those clouds glitter too
But why I am inside this glass
I think and am amazed

To find out that my soul
Does wish to just behold
What I cannot be right now
As myself, free and bold

I whisper to myself
Is this certain kind of well
From where I cannot come out
This living where I dwell
And then I look around
Where humans of no count
Seem working but are bound
Rising in life that already fell

A glitter crosses my eyes
As a shine begins to rise
From the willow of the clouds
A star speaks of the wise-

No matter where you are
In joy or peeled with scarsIn freedom or be it bars

Live, love and laugh to fullest Bring out what’s your best Fill in up that zest
I will take care of the rest

 The Same Window, a different Story : And the Sun shone Again
