Paused musings
I’ve been
rushed off my feet
off late
I’m running
around
to catch
full circle
hectically hustling
on tons
demanding
my attention
wondering at
life
offering many
errands
that must be
run
nonstop unto
death
off to poems
for a while
I shall not pen
down the lines
Someday
When I shall
be free
i shall catch my thoughts
and weave it in words
But for now
It’s paused
musings

fatigued thoughts
thinking of you
Aren’t you tired
crossing my
mind
over and over
again?
Why irk
ourselves
Can’t we
ease the gap
and be
together
than visit
each other
just in
thoughts

earthquake (September 18, 2011)
source: kuenselonline.com |
The walls
rattled
The
showcases
The
cupboards
The photo
frames
and
everything
that there
was to rattle
The lights
blacked out
Everything was
cursed
in absolute
murk
as the world
jolted
one and all trembled
Everyone
knew that it was
Saw the end
was nigh
As death
came knocking
Bequeathing
a close call
Leaving homes
crumbled
Hearts grievously tormented
and lives
put on the line

Home alone
Every day I come home
Swing the door open
and step in anxiously
Hoping to find you home
but you are never there
I scour the place
And still
there is not even a trace
not even footprints
unknowingly left
I sit on the couch
all alone
hoping you will walk in
any moment
Knowing you can’t stay away
But perhaps I am wrong
The air gets eerie
Loneliness gnaws
even memories hurt
As yesterdays flash alive
and I walk out dejected
Lest I go out of my mind

dilemma
I am lost totally
Betwixt two thoughts
One that says I should do it
the other asserts that I shouldn’t
I don’t know what I should do
Though I surely need to pick one
How do I resolve?
Shall I toss a coin?
Or simply close my eyes
and pick my choice in random
Huh, I can’t decide
I am at the cross roads
Of the inevitable dilemma
Unable to take the pick
What shall I do?
I don’t know
The road not taken
shall make the difference

a hundredth poem
I have adored the elegance of the faces
Eulogized the undying glory of the graces
Even extolled the splendor of the rainbows
And lauded the symphonies of the gale
I have approved the ups and downs of life
in the many myriad musings of my heart
born of thoughts that amply fluttered
in umpteen moods that pensively frayed
I have even crooned some oblivious tunes
often in lovelorn state of a forlorn heart
I have stolen glances and delved for words
And I shall yet acclaim the earthly dances
and not miss out the swiftly fading chances
But for now its an umpteen hundredth poem

bogged DOWN
Tired I am running the life’s race
Forced glee and simulated exhilarations
in diverse courses and disparate pace
Often in uncommon asinine sensations
Romping life’s varied spanned game
Every day in and every day tediously out
And all the while, it’s just the same
the humdrum affairs of a life’s fallout
the greener grass on the other side
the varied temptations of the life
the ever flowing of the time and tide
will not even for a single moment thrive
there is momentary glory and bliss
in the unchained beauty of the rainbow
only that soon it shall all go amiss
all the worthless great pompous show
the exactitude of the illusive realities
the saccharine sweetness of the dreams
the derisive mocking of everyday formalities
bogs me down to silent unsung screams

Beggar
thepetitionsite.com |
The beggar begs by the roadside
attired in tattered patched up rags
chanting some melancholic tunes
as we walk past by on the road
We care not to lend him a glance
let alone spare him a penny
We hear not his screams for alms
We understand no beggars tongue
that speaks loud even in deep silence
We know not his severed pride
and we won’t even spare a thought
the events driving him to the roads
Ah, how we look down on him
for he is a destitute and we are not
Ah, Is it wrong to be a beggar?
Who wants to be a beggar after all?
