MINE

phenomenon of a revolution...
revolution of a process...
cognition of a unit...
meshing in of a system...
silence...
dearth...
murky pasts...
hazy subliminal future...
present concerns...
alacrity of beings...
various stakeholders...
the vicious circle...
the guillotinal pendulum...
this is it...
or is it?
while there is passion there is strength...
for where there is love there is hatred...
where there is racism there is multiculturalism...
where there is pain there is happiness...
where there is ecstasy there is bliss...
where there are back stabbers there are parents...
where there is no one there ALWAYS is a someone...
somewhere...
looking out...
noticing...
your subtleties...
thinking...
brandishing...
ceremoniously harbinging...
resonance of a life within a life...
sometimes giving up is not it...
sometimes it pays to be tough...
to believe in thyself...
for where there will be darkness there will be light...
for where there is a dark abyss there is a miracle...
a miracle of creation...
of life...
of conformity...
of norms...
of sweet havens...
of you and me...
of lovers...
there we are...
there i am...
we are all out there...
and sometimes...
it doesn't take much to reach out...
to share...
to broach...
to allay and quell...
for somewhere...
the wheel churns...
what goes around will come around...
and thus...
i smile knowingly...
for i have known smile...
as a tool...
to shade myself...
now i shall sleep...
peace prevails...
noise prevails...
the birds signal...
the clouds mingle...
and right there...
a new life begins...
a new beginning...
second chances...
a couple holds hands...
i walk by smiling...
KNOWING!
for tomorrow...
it shall be me...
for tomorrow...
will be mine!

The moments...

submission...
the art...
the soul...
the physical indulgence...
the act...
be it prayer...
be it music...
be it science...
be it art...
defining the essence of life...
it's like a flash...
and then...
NOTHING!
all gone in a blink...
life...
the phenomenon...
the beauty from up there...
amidst the skies...
flanked by angels...
surrounded by horizons...
there it is...
whiz...
and it's over...
is it a blessing...
a curse...
remnants of a shoddy existence...
or the path to tranquility...
from now...
to now...
life prances...
warming the congealed blood...
functioning...
fueling us...
reinvigorating us to follow...
the quest...
for?
is it?
am i?
will we?
do i?
how?
where though?
within?
outside?
and at the end...
if you can smile...
if life taught you to...
your a winner...
in that defining moment...
when a mother gives birth...
when a bee returns home for honey...
when a salmon gives birth and dies for it...
life is there to be witnessed...
in all it's grandeur and beauty...
and tomorrow...
would be a new horizon to witness...
a new goal...
this is to those who live...!!!

the wait...

there are still moments...
when you breathe down on me...
when i can feel your presence...
lingering down...
sweeping me in you...
there you are...
never too close...
and yet so near...
remember those times...
when i'd sweep you...
play with your tussled hair...
and feel like i owned the world...
now...
there is sadness...
there is darkness...
the niche ain't lighting up my world...
the microcosm ceases to be...
there are times when i cease to exist...
perhaps merely a spectator of my own destiny...
shadowing my very moves and yet the essence...
lost...
somewhere...
faraway...
now...
i walk...
atleast i am learning to...
to standup...
i wonder...
the worth of every life...
the value placed on the souls...
the plight of the young ones...
the wail of the widows...
pain and plight...
of the poor...
ALWAYS...
here i am...
yielding...
to a world i know not...
to principles i perceive not...
to a culture i believe not...
identity...
was it always a farce?
am i the possessed or the possessor?
am i the persecuted or the persecutor?
the tormented or the tormentor?
sometimes...
i know not...
and this is why the journey goes on...
but something deep down trembles...
for all is not lost...
where there is night...
there will be a new dawn...
and thus i wait...
