HOLLOW NIGHT

Its dark in the night, unusually dark,;

and he is laying on the bed,

with limbs spread out like a venomous spider

hands curled like a snake.

It's cold and dark, darker than the night sky;

Darker than the dying coal,

the night hung open like a witch's darkest spell,

absorbing every colour and making it unbearable.

The hope is fading and the spell growing stronger.

He wants to curl back like a foetus, safe and warm ;

if only he knew.

The night carries hollowness in his heart, chocking the thoughts;

eyes blindfolded, wandering in a child's play.

Paint him blue, paint him red,

paint him white,  paint him gold, but not a drop of black.

Make him alive or let him die

HOW COULD HE?

How could he suddenly abandon her?

She is still the same person he fell in love with.

Her Kohl eyes are still smoky, her lips pale,

her fragile frame still stands firm when he wraps around him.

How could he abandon her when her bosom still gives him peace?

How could he abandon her?- when she has the same smile, same heart and,

the same warmth between her legs, he fell in love with.

How could he abandon her when she is the only one who takes all his worries away?

How Could He?

MY STRIPPER BOOK

A blank ruled sheet sits on the table;

fancy enough, like a tipsy stripper,

looking at the man, waiting to be lured.

Eyes drool as it stares back, hard enough;

asking my fingers to hold the pen and ink her,

just as a she commands the man to skip a note from the pocket.

My swaying fingers hold the pen, ready to write,

and the paper sighs!

Softly, as my fingers rub against it,

moaning, as the nib trickles it.

Words flow out like blood through veins;

handwriting fucked but no impression in vain;

As if in the final throws, the last world feels of life's first orgasm!

THE SMALL SEA

....and that skinny touch

Dazzled and dizzied me equally;

made me feel like the cold drops

of dew left behind a glass of chilled champagne;

soaking on the wooden chambers of a lusty mind,

left me high and dry.

The sea laden breeze filled my lungs with the fish it feeds;

Making me wanting to drown in the depths

of the darkest desires of my fickly heart. 

FOOL'S GOLD

The husky hello was never so charismatic.

The crooked smile was never so beautiful.

The laughter was never so seductive.

The brown eyes behind the black frame;

were never more questioning.

I saw my mind fall for those words and my heart melt in the winter chill.

I tried to embrace the love in a glass jar but;

the silky sheen and the warmth of dazzle was not meant to stay.

My love, made me a lustrous lump of fool's gold.

Love, as I ever thought, left me far away.

FINDING ME

Puzzled in the thoughts,

bewildered in the decisions I have made.

I am failing to make up my mind,

It's aching and making me blind.

Living in the dungeon I am loosing hope,

and my heart says, run and elope.

My mind is running a different race,

leaving me indecisive with so much grace.

The clouds are getting gloomy and gray,

everything and everyone is fading away;

and I am standing in the middle,

strong on the face but my heart is brittle,

fighting this rain with a broken umbrella.

Don't want to walk the path I'm on, anymore,

don't want to breathe the air I'm breathing, anymore.

I am here to evolve, I don't want to dissolve,

Soul has wings of fire but I am failing to ignite the desire.

I'm much more than the exterior, look beyond what your eyes see;

and you will feel the real me.

Please don't fail me now, bless me with a burning desire,

to conquer my fears, to elevate my soul,

to taste every air, to travel beyond boundaries,

to float , to be free, to find me, make me and live me.

KNIGHT

Your breath left me in ecstasy
and I travelled across the land and sea,
Now show me the lifetime
in the night time.
Be my guiding light,
baby, I'll be following your light.

Pull me through the dark and,
take me to the bright.
Wrap your arms around my waist,
baby, be my saving knight.

Don't leave me in ecstasy,
my eyes hurt to see across the sea.
Baby be my light, baby be my saving knight.

MY FUNNY ILLUSIONS

Illusions and decisions, we are surrounded by all.

Trapped in an alien world

we all stay strong.

Every time we close our eyes, we dive in paradise;

for  we all follow our dark fantasies.

Why do we stay strong?;

When all we want is to live in a place where Gods holiday,

when we wish to walk down the streets of divine grandeur and compassion,

when we know we belong to the garden of clarity.

Illusions and decisions, we are surrounded by all

Roaming under the dim city moonlight

we all seek rays of love.

Every time we close our eyes, the soul dies and lips turn blank;

for we all desire the realms of heaven.

Why do we live in black?;

When all we want is to colour our hearts in a rainbow,

when we wish to indulge in the green flavours of sea and sand,

when we know our souls doesn't belong here.

And we stay strong!

BOY FROM HILLS

Back when I was a child, I played in the wild.
My father would give me a rupee bill and we lived over the hill.
My mother would often tell me to study and;
 annoyed, I would always hide under the bed.
Holding her veil I would sleep in her lap,
dream of heartbeats and glide among million stars.
I was a curious soul who would walk on an unheard road.
I chose lanes with bewilderment yet found solace,
I danced to the melodies of my stone heart;
my mind million thoughts apart.
I paddled my own fleet, I rowed my own ships.
I had an electric soul, full of life and zeal to shine.
I was like a morning butterfly wanting to fly far too long.
I was the free spirit, I am the free spirit.
I am my heart, I am my soul, I am my body
I am my own child;
I am the Boy From Hills.

ONCE

Once I felt the kiss, once I felt my heart melt.

Once I turned around and once I was lost in the depth of your eyes.

Once you smiled and rolled dew down your cheeks,

Once you came close, once I pressed you against the warmth of my chest;

and once I felt my own breath bounce back from your peachy skin.

Once you looked into my eyes and once your lips kissed mine;

until we were breathless and gaped for air.

Once I felt your skin as if my own,

Once I held your hand and played with those artistic fingers.

Once I lay my head on your chest and once I listened to the rhythm of your beating heart.

Once you stroked my hair gently and once I felt like sleeping forever.

Once I kissed your nose and you blushed,

Once you tickled my stomach and I laughed with my new found joy.

Once I loved you and once you loved me.

Once but only once.
