Sunshine.......

drifting softly came she did
in front of me with all the glitter
i thought it was a morning dew
which caught a straying naughty beam


the voice was tender with a hint of joy
and a look which took my breath away
did she speak ..yes she did
she spoke of something which touched my soul


let me think..what I've done
to be blessed with a sparkle so rare
what it may i hardly care
but i do know sunshine is here ....

My Orion

With little palms behind my head

A long time back I looked above

It was a night with sparkling stars

A wisp of chill and a fading song


Among the million laughing stars

My little eyes rested on four

With out a smile they stood still

As if in guard or in trance


Time went on and change I did

But those four remained the same

In mean time I came to know

That they were called “the Orion”


Flush of youth with its musky charm

Filled me up with its lusty dreams

They made me laugh and lose control

Some times for smile..some times for tears


All the while I still looked

Up above at my friends

They were there standing still

With out a smile or a tear


With no avail try I did

To make them talk or at least glance

But serene they were in their stance

A staunch stance with out a care


Time went on and came one night

A nasty night with mocking stars

I was standing all alone

With a shattered soul and a wounded heart


I had a purpose for that night

One so dark with stench of death

I stood there determined..

To make that night my final one


As I stood I felt a glance..

From up above beyond the time

It was them “the orion”

Looking down with tender care


They opened up their ancient mouth

And with a voice filled with love

Spoke one word to my blistered soul

And then went back to their serene self


The word was tender but made of steel

And soul did cry the tears of hope

I gazed at them and smiled in joy

And thanked aloud for the whispered hope

Loss.....

On the boil my sweet blood
it went on from dawn to desk
lingering nausia and that weightlessness
crept up an up till my neck

Took a deep breath, just to breathin
the very same fumes of my boiling blood
it went right up then burnt my soul
and the pain ..i lovd all of it

Some say its acid...some say its ice
but i wont take the things they say
its neither acid and never ice
its something else which once was sweet

Filth....

i wrote these lines amidst a thought
a thought of joy which made me cry
why it made me write these lines
was it joy ... was it tears

a few hours back i went to walk..
amidst the clamour of the wheels..
off i went to a dirty land..
to see some filth pure n straight..

why i went its not easy to tell..
may be to laugh may be to weep..
but sure i felt filth crawling by
benith my feet inside my soul..

i touched its scaly rugged skin..
i smelled its slimy dirty breath..
it tried to flash a pale dead smile..
off came out a million worms..

a beam of joy came flashing by..
and filled my soul with contention..
look at this filth and its rotten state..
and look at me with my fragrent skin.

then i saw a pair of eyes..
it was indeed filled with tears
and more than tears i saw a shine..
a shine so rare..a shine so pure..

it talked about an unbound love..
it sang so sweet of lovely dreams..
it was the eyes of my filthy thing.
the dirty thing ..the despised one..

i tried to do a nice quick search..
i searched my soul for those two things..
i searched for the shine of love..
i searched for the shine of dreams..

i couldint find a single one..
to match the shine of my filthy thing..
then i sat and wrote these lines..
thinking of the filth in me...

A look......

i saw him look with those sweet old eyes
a look of love ..a look of joy..
he had no shirt..his legs were bare
all he had was an old tin bowl

he came to me with a toothy grin
thrust his hand infront of me
what he want he did not tell
but that look of his told me all..

i gave him cash ...he did not take
i gave himm food ..he did not take
i knew the look and knew his want
but what he want i could not give

without love and with out food
he treaded on all these years
but all he want is a bit of hope..
a bit of hope which i need the most..

Glimmer.......

Today I sang and gazed at stars

Sitting on a worn out bridge

A wave or two came to be with me

As I sang my lonely song


I sang about my long lost hope

I sang about my long lost will

Did I cry ..dont know for sure

But I sure wept through my song


Minutes and hours went tickling by

Still I sang with all my heart

It was a song of broken dreams

It was a song of utter pain


Riding the winds ..and through the clouds

An eagle came and caught my song

he went past me with a mocking smile

And to took my song a place unknown


The night was dark and the sea in pain

The big black bird was no were near

I felt alone without my song

It was all I had to call as mine


A flash was seen in the midnight sky

With the brightness of a million stars

Along came a nymph divine

And started to sing her song of joy


Deep inside my dieing soul

I felt a song welling up

It was not of broken dreams

It was not of utter pain


I started to sing my new found song

The song of hope…the song of love

I turned to thank that lovely nymph

For giving me my song of joy


She smiled at me and kissed my lips

And sang these words and went away

"I am the love that will make you free"

"Free as the eagle which took your pain"
