Are You Missing Something?
If it’s ever so
That home never you miss
Life seems slow
Without office
Before that happens
Look around and see
How drops of rains
Bathe the backyard tree
Let it never be
That lost in files
You are never free
For all the loving smiles
If it’s so
Pause a moment
See the rose glow
Smell the lovely scent!

Don't Lose Your Smiles
Don’t lose your smiles
Know you’re walking smooth miles.
You are in peace
There is darker abyss.
Where every moment is a hell,
Where your misery would pale.
You are better off than what’s around
You are on solid ground.
For many there’s only never ending night
Be thankful for having a speck of light.

Silence Of Your Heart
I want to listen to the silence of your heart
That tells of sorrows no word could shape
Of fallen dreams, the endless rape
Of forever giving without any hope of return
Of scars of eternal burn!
The words are vain
They only hide your pain
Now before death do us part,
I must listen to the silence of your heart.

Kissing Your Shadow
I kiss your shadow in the sun
My blood spills, the dust drinks it.
Yellowed pages drift away in the blue
Merciless time closes the manuscript.
I chase a shadow that vandalizes my day
And brews a fiery night of dark phantoms.
My being disintegrates into dead fragments
To be blown away as scattered ashes of hope!

Beyond The Nightmare
The clouds scare me
I forget to sing
life is like a dead tree
I don't see the silver lining!
Worried grows my face
at the smallest darkness
Islands of light I miss
pale and cold is your kiss!
Yet I know it's within me
to rid the phantom and be free
revive the dream and dare
to go beyond the nightmare!

Smell of Romance
When I am away from you
Or you are away
I sniff the air for your smell
I weave your image in my eyes
Let it roam into my mind.
I feel forlorn when I miss you.
The distance creates an aura of romance -
Moments without you, yet filled with you.
Coming back reinstates the staleness,
Of being too close for too long!

Only A Little
Bread and water and in your heart a space
Is all I want for a little happiness
A little warm corner, window to the sky
Is all I want to live and to die.
I yearn to see a smile light up your face
Yearn for your touch, a little embrace
A little sunshine, a few drops of rain
A little love from you to heal all my pain.

Tsunami
Behold the Sea…
magnificent, vast, yet placid
on the surface…
Till from its deeper recess
rises the fury
of suppressed submarine wrath
And the Goliath
comes lashing down
with endless tongues
wiping out the world
in a few flashes.
…………………
With all his resource
Man can’t stop Nature on its course!

The Soil's Tears
The soil knows the burden of tears
The earth’s sadness that it bears
Through endless battles for territory -
Only the soil knows it has no boundary!
Blood spills on it, falls toil’s sweat,
Muscle’s ravage decides the weak’s fate
Cries of desperation and victory’s cheers
All these the soil tearfully bears!

What is it?
Is there something in the air?
In the gray fatigued sky
That holds no hope of blue,
In the dreary sunshine
That smells of everyday mundaneness,
In the enslaved moon
Tired of bathing the earth?
What is it that lets us survive
the weariness of existence
and make us come back time and again
From the brink of despair?
