Funny!!!

theres never been a rage or war

yet its funny

how one calls it all

abrupt

sudden

before it hits you

its already bygone

you think its all a bad dream

you pinch yourself hard

only to realize

you’ve grown numb

by this sudden call

the room seems bigger

the house seems empty

the phone has been silent

the day seems daunting.

as I go about my daily work

in the wilderness of the concrete jungle

a part of me is missing

a habit of mine is dying

each day I wake up

feeling a little more empty inside.

Wanderer

I am not here to just live

I am not here to conquer the world either

there is more purpose

there is more reason

to this existence

I have been blessed with senses

I am here to see

I am here to feel

I am here to touch

I am here to taste

I am here to experience

As I move around

the connection seems to deepen

I seem to be awaken

I am just a wanderer

Thankful of my existence.

Impatience

Where am i heading

What is happening

Its like everything is hazy

The fog has set in

There is an overcast

Its thundering

The wind is howling 

The stage is set

As i await the showers

I grow impatient

The impatience

This impatience

is killing me!!!

Unfamiliar Familiar

unknown places

looking for known faces

boulevard of buildings

glitterati around

chaiwala at the corner

the constant honking

buzz of people

familiarity in the unfamiliarity

as I walk down the aisle

from pole to post

eyes constantly wandering

in search of something

yet nothing

lost in the moment

like a free soul

growing unaware of things

as I drift along

I hear a shout

snap!

screeching, piercing

like a crack in a glass (it may seem)

the moment is broken

even I break, into a smile

She is 30 mins late

but I am happy to see her face

unknown places

and known faces

always!!!

make me happy.

Mosiac!!!

Mosiac!!!

burnt tar road

dry hot wind

sweat trickling down

body temp at a rise

heart pumping

muscles cramping

slowly, will burning!

destination no where in sight

the road just did not seem to die

slowly steadily, too egoistic to give up

the road suddenly bend

into the mountains

onto the ghats

F**K! there is more climb!

there was a hindsight!

but I pushed, pedaled

As i pushed, as i pedaled

I was bound by a spell

burnt trees

sun kissed grass

baked stones

dry earth

myriad

always used to green

caught  unaware

a thousand different shades

a mosaic,  with one colour

brown was it all around

a thousand different shades of brown

such cruel beauty

such merciless beauty

a thousand different shades of brown

like a child

Enchanted was I!!!

 P.s Thanks to Andras -  to remind me of the beauty of the Sahyadri's.

Strange!!!

Strange!!!

Strange is such

Why i wonder much

Everything happens for a reason?

Broken, fragmented thoughts!

Mixed emotions

Tides at the sea

Looking for something!

Recognition? Appreciation?

From one branch to another

From one place to another

The monkeys in my head

In search for an answer?

Sorry! What was the question but!

Strange is such!

Why i wonder much.

Reality Dreams!!!

 Reality Dreams!!!

In the dreams

In the nightmares

In the fear

In the fun

In the night

In the morning

In the sleep

In the wake

It all seems to be calling

It all seems to be teasing

Sudden urges

Weird mood swings

Deep deep cravings

 Restlessness is passé

beyond unconditional love

it all seems to be teasing

it all seems to be calling!!!
