Know Why The Caged Bird Sings!
A lot of Questions!
And I try walking backwards.
Fresh smile at the table,
Dressed for work,
Knots at the right place,
And you feel I slept sound.
And I try walking backwards.
No frown on my lips,
Greetings with a warm face,
Words sweet and tender,
And you feel I held up.
And I try walking backwards.
No tears from my eyes,
Nor twitching of the lashes,
Nor moistness at the corners,
And you feel I have not cried.
And I try walking backwards.
For you have not seen my wet eyes,
Nor faltering lips or spasmodic nights,
Caged am I still! You now know!
Know why the caged bird sings.
Let Me Rediscover You!
Veil not your frozen tears,
Behind the solemn eyes.
Veil not your lush beauty,
Behind the cheap mascara.
Veil not your rosy lips,
Behind the feigned smile.
Veil not your palping breath,
Behind the tutored stance.
Come, as you are, onto me,
For I judge not you.
Shred the mantle, blind
Let me rediscover you.
Ashes!
Like yesterday too!
By the misty pane, over the candle flick,
The moon, shy, glides into the clouds thick,
Red eyes bore down on the parchment wet,
Dried and cringed from tears and sweat.
Toppled, the pot of ink on the table lay
Have had silently bowed to the winds’ say,
The quilt scribbling away words unspoken
Wishing to mend the strings broken.
Pages after pages the quilt bleeds,
As unto sweet longings it recedes
Carving delicate reminiscence faint
Of chained reveries, a tad restraint.
The wobbling flame, signals the end
But, more! More has to be penned.
Signed reluctantly, sealed with a kiss
With the pledge of a tomorrow, bliss!
And like epistles written every night,
Held tonight’s too to the flare bright
Crumbling, vanished into the smoke, lorn,
Dreams wrecked like a baby stillborn.
To collect, unto the urn, ashes, dry,
Bottling nights and memories wry
For one day, will set the urn free
On its way to you, across the sea.
Have you ever had lots to tell,
Writhing to break loose the spell?
Have you kept the nights awake,
Of hearts, desire and longings ache?
The Silver Lining
The Silver Lining
Deep dark inside, it seemed
Peeped down – it looked like a deep chasm
As if lost, twisted in some jerky spasm
Not even a ray of light beamed.
The thunderous monsoon played wrath
Contriving clouds dancing to its tunes
Obscurity encompassed the sandy dunes
That lay by the side of the path.
Far far ahead the empty road lay
Not even a speck of life in sight
And the bareness, with itself, in fight
Just then, a voice from behind floated “Hey!”
Looking back, a familiar face smiled
The tears rolling down the sides spoke
“It’s me! Again” was all that the voice could croak
And an invisible kiss on the lips mild.
“Hold my hands, as we have always had
And as rules of freedom love birds abide
Supporting you always from by your side
Bestowing the strength, with courage to add.”
Clutching the hand, moving in sync
Could see the clouds parting its cloak
Mischievous clouds obedient by some magical stroke
Revealed the sunshine to the soul – the missing link.
Clear blue skies heralded by the wand
Showed the track for them to tread
Bathed in the light and nothing left unsaid
The Mighty Gods have reinforced the bond.
– For we are bound to go where mariner has not yet dared to go, And we shall risk our ship ourselves.

As if nothing happened…
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Its not the sun,
Its not the heat,
Its the ambition
Which is burning in it…
Its not the soft scene
Its not the shining sheen
Its the purity in it
Which makes it look just as green…

Jamaica Farewell
When you want something,
And believe in giving others,
A little surprise, for your love,
You end up being surprised yourself.
When thoughts flow like winds,
And you find it difficult to collect them.
The trap is just to difficult to break through, Read the rest of this entry »
