Roots

To be bound by roots
As the prophecy lies
We all stand on ours
They give us base _as time flies
Each of us is a unique tree
Etched from marks of past
Some bear thorns, some flowers and some only leaves

To be tall or thick or fine
Its all a game of mind
Growth is as much as you like
And as many branches sketched in time

With all the leaves to flutter in air
Then abondned, here changes the season
Standing naked among millions
Dwelling strength to face the fears
Thunder, storm, darkness -all smears

Then dances the sunlight
With a company of so many birds
To chirp out their way into small litle buds
THEY GREW AGAIN
HEARTS BEAT AGAIN

And this time its banyan
Roots would stand without all they thought they would need
No soil no water
It still is stout , could lay a hundred seeds

Proliferation is endless
Its how much we want from life
Autums crossed would define
Or are we just a banyan in rhyme.

Green pastures under bare feet, Dillusions leading into defeat, When the sky gets clear to see the way, Deamons close the gate to my fate, Stretched long enough to clean the road, Leaves keep drying and falling along..

Ad Sales- Selu's

We are drivers
Driving in the same circle everyday
Our asses are always on fire
This is quite a bumpy highway

We are the walking and talking encyclopedia
Of numbers
Why what when
How much is the outlay
Sir Sir ..Sir Sir.. Sirrr…??

Sweet and crisp orange marmalade
A bitter base, topped with chocolate flakes
We play all these roles in one time
Don’t say our talent is waste

What we learn, we take it with us
What we imply is what it makes of us
Doesn’t mean we buy veggies on nett or gross
But we have become much stronger
To face whatever we fear

There is nothing that can scare us like a RO delay
Fuck the marathon,
This is a crazy relay
Dream of monopoly but we end up playing chess
Whatever we do, we only run to fetch

It’s a warm hole feeding our needs                              
We are a very different breed
Wearing the ties of tweed
It’s amazing the kind of targets we meet

Lining up to meet the client
Do they see what they do with our mind?
All we are supposed to say is fine
Respect us, for we dig the gold mines

Slaves as they may think we are
But deep inside we know who we are
Balanced and outrageous, dignified and precious
Little babies rushed in fury, ice cold minced in brewery

Underlying and undying conviction
Are the lessons we have learnt
Whatever it may take, we always stand in front
We are loved and loathed, we face all the brunt
However, Diplomacy and lick my ass
Are requirements on which I don’t run

How about you my friend
Do you belong in this fraternity?
What all are you ready to extract?
How much are you ready to give up?
Answer yourself and rest in peace
Cos its Monday tomorrow again
And you exactly know how it’s gonna be..

Are'nt you scared?

We think its only humans
who have a population
what about the oceans' tide
it engulfs a whole big nation

lets all get together and dance tonight
cos there aint gonna be another summer midnight
is this how we declared our fate
we chose to ignore the screams from the sky

Grasslands burnt, birds died
and man made walls to hide
we yet have'nt seen the mighty side
any plans to save your lady and your child

lets run away from here
but no one knows to where
when the black hole becomes
big enough to fear
now tell me do you have a second to spare
Are'nt you scared?

------- Rest in peace Uttarakhand

Contained

The entire city is a set
we have full house all night
there are so many colors in the sky
do i see people fly
from the eyes of the ones
contained in boxes for life
its a glittering sunny day
if you let him out anytime
there are faces behind every mask
varities of life suprise everytime
just play the part and you are on
**********
all you know is all you see
and all you see is all you want to see
all that you want is all that you know
expand your zone to horizons unseen

THE BOTTLE MAN

He can't walk, it's so hot, he's talking to himself
He collects bottles from the bin to make his living
Sits under the scroching sun waiting for one more hand to free so he can grab
His life would be the same everday
Under the heat of today
Hunger doesn't suffice so he digs in deeper
Where we all sit in the piano man with breeze and tropial ice tea
Rags on the body and a broken chappal
Patience in his heart
That's his power
Throat llies parched while crushing a hundred bottles under his feet

Three Men

I dreamt of these three men
who loved me beyond the night
they were awakened from the past
could'nt see their faces, I had a blurry sight

Hearing me call them aloud
they came running on the path of my sound
I'd never seen that light before
I'd never felt this desire before

I need to go back in sleep
to brighten my heart, to clear the scene
to know what it was
to know where to find endless beauty in kind

Showered upon auras of three divines
like the heaven came down for me
I'd never seen that light before
but I wish to see it once more!!

FROZEN WOODS

Character differentiation at each hill
Trees full of  flowers
I know they look pretty
Don't kill them
They will tranquil yet again
Tomorrow
You will smile yet again
Tomorrow
Varied definitions of beauty
You have no words to say
I have no words to say
It's in the moment, needless to explain
Clouds growling on the march
Buts stillness in the air
As pure as it seems
Is as pure as it gets
Trees are sleeping
Leaves are moving
Fly talking in my ear
Midnight drooling
Its so quiet
Masculine birds are chirping
Wanderers took a trip
To where the Frozen Woods were surfing..

STORIES

When you make your peace with authority

You become the authority

We are all just stories in the end

As were just puppets, running along the arm of time

You either have faith or you fall

Some are born to the sweet delight

And some are born to the endless night

We are drifting in blind orbits, helpless, alone

Ghastily pleasures are your run

To the dead valley

Are we all born martyrs, are we all born to be doomed

My flesh can only be scalded, but my soul is stoned

Aplomb in the words, revival of the lifeless

Don’t follow them I refrain, dwell into your own brain

FLASH IT

Flash the king

Flash the queen

Flash the residues

Of my teens

Leave the aces

Leave the jacks

I never served

Jokers on my racks

Win my black jack

Loose the roulette

You think I’m a fool eh?

Deal today

Deal tomorrow

Deal for the end

Of deepening hollows!!

Cast ma shadow'

There is nothing else to see

Nothing left to cast my shadows on

M losing my light completely

Under the dim black sky

The devil eats me up inside blocks my sight

Start up a new fight blow up your own minds

Stuck in my windpipe why don u go and hide

When no one shows up when u all alone

Your in deep shit even to figure out your name

U think it’s a game no its not

Years of you and me as shadows

Now you wanna fly away and let me be

Did I ask for it or u felt the same

Don have you to cast my shadows on

Whats the point to even have one..

THE EVIL INSIDE

it crushes my soul and comes outside
the evil i see in my blood red eye

the darkness i see everywhere
fill the holes of my memories i guess
like a minute ago, i was brightly lit
to now when im darkest of the queen

there is a fire without a light
just you see how much i burn inside
and it rains under the smoke
all that i see.

FROSTED

I fail to understand myself

I fail to express myself

I don’t know where im leading myself

I don’t know where am I taking myself

Confused I am about life                                                                

I talk to myself to relieve

I live in a story world

And play all the parts written for me

I keep waiting for the unknown unseen

I don’t know what lies ahead

All I know is I want all

Here I feel like the best

Next I feel like a looser

I fail to relieve myself

I fail to satisfy myself

I don’t know what Iam doing

And I donno where Iam going

It’s sickening to not get what you want

And totally heartbreaking

To live with it everyday

I want when I want what I want is exactly what I want

Completely frosted I became

Frosted I live

Frosted I die

Frost is exactly where it lies

Unexplainable

The theory of life is unexplainable

And life with emotions is totally not acceptable

Cos they arise for good and evil

But this emotion is completely unexplainable

What we want is what we get

But wrong timing is not suitable

At least today it shouldn’t be the day

This loneliness is not suitable

I hit the blockbuster today

But see how I’m busted exactly today

This confusing state of mind is unexplainable

I tell you….. these emotions

Totally not acceptable

No one to take it on with

No one to bring it on now

I lay here in my this state of tense emotion

Creating smoke in an unexplainable situation

This half way down the drink in unacceptable

Senseless warmth is not the taste which is impeccable

Slayed it all

You just slayed it all

Scraped my layers one beneath the other

Where even the echo of my pain

Did not cross your ears

With all my blood rush I kept looking at you

And you turned away as if you had nothing to do

The frequency broke down and so did we

You call me curt, and for you I was ready to give it all

You call me heartless; I am cos you took mine and left me empty

Understanding is a part of the game

If you didn’t see that, I wonder how we lasted

Stoned all this while I smelted only for you

Betrayed and deceived all my life I put my conviction only in you

Is it so grim to fathom me

Or is it you who’s incomprehensible

Interrogating my own self

It’s become so dense to breathe

You took my heart away

And now you blow my mind

How tuff is it to let it go

And just dwell the love with time

So hollow that you can turn my spine

No tears to even get me blind

The Unnoticed Pains

Strong as they believed she stood

Outlined the charm that’d  vanished

Gleams curving through the body

Burning like the blinding gold

Silking her way down

For the eyes that were glued

To witness the intended fall

Dismissed afore they knew

For all that she passed with

In her heart and soul

No one witnessed nor took a clue

Fathomed with her own aura

Explosion’s on the way

She happened no more

Then alive Just as they say..

The Jungle Boy

The star twinkling inside

Twinkling in my eyes to the spine

The whiff runs inside

Sweltering in my soul to explode

Calming my senses off

With every embrace

Profundity of those eyes

Takes it from deep within

Power of existence

Breathes me alive

Totally in love

De facto on insanities

Logics to the life

The larger picture of the world

Is what his eyes keep watching

Undeniably the man I live out of

Implausibly endearing

Heart of the pack

Searching the wildernesses

For the rainbow to light

The Jungle Boy I name him

Much More and Beyond

Running every day to get more

Rebellious every day to protect auxiliary

Today passes by in this;

Not what life has to give

But what you want to make out of it

That slice of leather started it all

Now species being sliced to mint

Emotion devotion evolution

Of figures in gore

As if

Natural blow altered

Veracities of the space -Gee to folly

My closed eyes demand the simplicity of existence

Embedded in the meadows

Seeing the unaltered ether

Sense the tranquility around

And entomb thyself in the ocean of nature

Forgetting the basics all run for the aritificials

Turning the world into a marketplace

With no values that control people

Lone dosh that binds us all

It’s today I want to live and laugh and play

It’s now that I want to run around in the open air

And smile everlastingly

With nothing in my pate to stress

Permitting the mind freedom

To look to feel to see.. then desire

That is waiting -Much more and beyond

Burn it all away

Solitary murky night; smoldering it high and dry

Oozing the smoke out; you burn it all away

Wandering a long way consolidated it manors

To affluence the soreness

It ashes; designed for you

Crush it, smolder it, light it over and over and yet again

It’ll sooth you, unwind you, tickle you

And give you a way all over again                        

It all emanates down from the bhole

Voyages down to the nominated few

Lucidity of thought, concepts of a visionary

Canvases of the artists; imaginations surpass

They travel for it, conclude existing with it

Give it all up and swirl in the smoke

Acquainted of everything till date;

Still Isolated to forget and flow

Different facet of the same reel it shows

Like all it derives and energies back

Nurturing that one foliage

To continue the institution

For these eyes to see those colors again

To exceed the unseen

Cry In The Sky

Roaring out a cry in the sky

Bleeding she walks towards the end

Miffed with incurable wounds

To let her lie and die beneath the sky

Eloquently she rouses  

Defining herself in mist of the wild

With love she drifts and melts in

To forget the pain and live again

Woe never overlooks her

Chases and pounces back

Wrenching back into the anguished meadows

Pulling its marionette back to the ground

She still wakes up over n over

Paces towards the horizon to understand

What and why?

Nevertheless the love engulfs her over

In the wind of its embrace

Routing the soul

To stride and combat again

There she rose..

The story tale that she lived and existed in

Like a princess above in the mountains

Bloomed with the buds every season

Sailed with each drop of monsoon

Tiny quixotic what that she was

Learned the direction winds were hovering her to

Picture-perfect empire with all that she could wish

So...she assembles on her stallion

And shoots; headed for the newly lit night

To be captive forever in the dungeons

Crushed and buried deep within is all

Not the end as he believed

But birth of a the epitome of animosity

To further live and command

And see out of her territory

To encounter the tangible world and let open

All the doorways to the novel wild

20 min wid Kanu N Clouds..

The world just passed by me

I sat there by the empty street

Absorbing every drop that poured on me

Gazing at the sight endlessly

White Grey and Black colored sky

And beautiful combinations of clouds

What a breath taking creation

Like a natural cloudy meditation

The drizzle and breeze

Calm me down and give me relief

Every tinkle on my head

Cool me off as I said..

None around me had the passion

N’ I wondered if it was an illusion

But my friend beside me

I think we had a retinal diffusion

Getting drenched wasn’t a problem

But we had commitments collision

We said our by’s and back on our ways

What an amazing day I must say!!

ACID RAIN

As I laughed at every kill you made!!

In this time and space

All those for who I was a bait

Affection and care tossed for a fake

To the doomsday when you taught me hate

And I laughed at every kill you made.

Dark is the hollowness inside

Echoes with screaming cries

Zombie every morning to night

Trapped far from any sight of light

Sedated enough to let my memories fade

I laughed again at every kill you made

Crystal waters flow through my soul

Till when I looked into these flames

Impressive how you kept me tamed

In the end,

My soul was charred and named

The last drop of poison that you made me taste

Till I laughed at every kill you made..!!

HOW STRONG AND HOW LONG??

Strong as they believed she stood

Outlined the charm that’d  vanished

Gleams curving through the body

Burning like the blinding gold

Silking her way down

For the eyes that were glued

To witness the intended fall

Dismissed afore they knew

For all that she passed with

In her heart and soul

No one witnessed nor took a clue

Fathomed with her own aura

Explosion’s on the way

She happened no more

Then alive Just as they say..

James Douglas Morrison (1943-1971)

Sudden wave of silence in my mind                                                                            

As I walked to the aura above your shrine

What did you wonder in your head all the time

All I wish I’d see was the Curson’s elucidated last smile

'KATA TON AIMONA EAYTOY' was depicted in worthy of you

This was so true

They devoured the 30 year lease in the name of you

Quailed yourself when the fruit was ripe

For the only desire to love and write

You leave me troubled with the story of your life

Had you know the China White’s gonna take you away that night

‘Celebration of the lizard’ as you rightly put across

Asking all to rest in the tents -to witness the next morning’s sunrise

Was all that you wanted In THE END

Is all that was given with pam being wise

‘The Lizard King’ rode like the ‘Rider on the Storm’

Yesterday he was ‘The Backdoor Man’ singing ‘Hello, I Love You’ to the ‘L.A.Woman’

With the flames inside, he wanted the world to ‘Light His Fire’

To "Love Him Madly'- Now rises the longing desire..

NOTHIN'

Nothin'

it crushes my soul and comes outside

the evil i see in my blood red eye

the darkness i see everywhere

fill the holes of my memories i guess

like a minute ago, i was brightly lit 

to now when im darkest of the queen 

there is a fire without a light

just you see how much i burn inside

and it rains under the smoke

all that i see.

CORNERS IN OUR LIVES
