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.

THAT BOY

Where is that boy gone?!
The one with dreamy eyes and rosy lips,
the boy whose eyes sparkled brighter than stars.

Where is that boy gone?!
The one whose smile meant the world for someone,
whose voice felt like liquid gold.
The boy whose eyes showed million expressions;
yet held you with care.

Where is that boy gone?!
The one who dreamt of making merry,
the boy whose hands sculpted beautiful figurines.
Where is that boy gone whose heart remained;
a precious stone.
Where is that boy gone?!

THE FLIGHT OF FREEDOM

Open the doors of freedom and let the breeze pamper your cheeks,
flutter the wings of imagination into the gorgeous creeks.
Tip toe on the sandy beaches,
let your soul smell the seasonal peaches.
Play under the pink of cherry blossom,
 push your heart to love beyond horizon.
Spanning the wings of a coral white swan,
reaching the clouds in a wintery dawn;
we all strive for a heart that makes us go  boom, boom and boom.

Open the doors of freedom and let the breeze pass through your hair,
flutter the wings of fire into heaven through diamond stairs.
Embrace the warmth of love and affection like a deer who falls for the musk that resides within.
Paint the wild bewilderment with colours of courage and laughter;
and soak the glee of new found life within.
Forget rules, forget fears, kill and hidden hauntedness and fly free.

ENAMOURED BY YOU
I have a stone in my heart and a heaviness in my mind,
an indecisiveness whether to look into your eyes or to play with your mind.
Searching the corners of your eyes to see the twinkle and that shine;
you will always be mine.
Baby your smell makes me alive, your gentle smile makes me smile,
the touch of your palms on my shoulders makes me crazy,
the whispers of your sweet nothings send shivers down the spine.
The warmth of your lips against mine is seraphic,
your breath against my nape is divine.
Your starry gaze across the table over a lamp is like the kiss of moon,
your innocent giggles are more invigorating than a swim in the hot summer noon.
But I have a stone in my heart and a heaviness in my mind
because when you break my heart, it boggles my mind and shatters my soul.
and I get the indecisiveness if to look into your eyes or to play with your mind; one more time. 

WALKING ALONE

Toes on the move, head held high,

give a deep thought through the sky.

Loose yourself in the warm blanket of time.

Laugh like a toddler sitting on the swing of memories,

flutter wings as if a humming bird over the spring gardens of love.

Dance your soul in the music of life,

cherish the first drops of monsoon under the rainbow.

Relish the contentment of walking alone,

We are meant to live; don't just survive.

ORGASMIC NIGHT

We sing, we dance

we laugh and we flirt.

We chat, we drink 

we desire, we crave

we lust and we love.

We stare and we kiss;

we get up, we rush out 

we shut the door and lock the lips,

we nibble we moan

we cuddle and we bite

we shout and make out

Aah! then the passion dies, 

and comes the time to say good bye

to the Orgasmic Night.

THE FLOATING SOUL

The heart never understands the soul, the soul runs miles far from the mind.

The mind ties the body into the farthest chambers of solitude,

and we always vacillate in the middle  because,

we are the floating soul.

We are told to float and see where we land,

with vagueness we don't see beyond the glitter and depth of murky desires.

Seeking answers in the hollow eyes, searching solace in inky hearts;

we vacillate in the middle and we remain the floating soul.

The time is empty, yet again, and in the mystery of desires

walking over the velvety carpet of clouds, 

we live the dream of our lifetime.

Yet, we vacillate in the middle;

We are the floating soul.

 DALLIANCE
Out the window, under the trees,
with his heart, he sat in the summer breeze.
Mighty was he and gorgeous was she,
and that's how they felt for the Moon.

They would stare at each other's faces for hours and days,
they would speak through their eyes troubled by haze;
Pure was their love and purest were their souls.
They shared their love for stars and those evening showers.
They made love on sand, they kissed in the sea,
they conquered the hills and embraced the skies.
But their dalliance was just meant to sit under the trees;
gazing at the stars with a blur in the eyes, wanting to turn into reality.
Out the window, under the trees,
with his heart, he sat in the summer breeze.

You and I

I spoke of love and you spoke of lust,

I spoke to life and you spoke of death,

I spoke of you and you kept silent.

In those alleys you lost me, in my mind you closed me.

I spoke of sun and you spoke of burn,

I spoke of flowers and you spoke of funerals,

I spoke of smell and you spoke of stench.

Why did we never speak of hearts and the beauty of love,

I wonder why?!

                             THE WANDERLUST

I was born to be the wild one, I was meant to fly;

Born to leave a poem when I'm gone,

I was born to be the other man who belonged to a place somewhere in moon lit stories;

Man who belonged to everyone yet not to anyone, 

who wants to go everywhere, who wants to experience the fire of fierce freedom.

I am not your conventional man, I am not the one you want to fall in love with;

I am just a fantasy, I am an ecstacy that you will never forget.

I am a game you will never play; I am the taste you will crave for.

I am the fragrance you want to wear; I am the colour you want to paint. 

I am the poem you want to recite, I am the song you wanted to sing. 

I was born to be the wild one.

I am your wanderlust.
