A view from the top

High above the trees we lie,
together we manage
to touch the sky.

The noise and the traffic
stand at the foot below.
The air saver different here,
but the thunder and lightening seems
to increase our fear.

The air winding up the speed,
with a spring in their tide
it rattles my hair
and strokes my body
giving me goosebumps from within.

The pedestrians fail to make their mark,
as I continue to stare down at the park.

The children dancing around,
with a lobe about their body
they wonder here and there.
Swirling up and falling on top of others.

A lady with a torch
abide some distance apart,
with a book in her hand,
appears as if her world has come to a halt.

Mistakes...

In our exhausting hours when we close our eyes it’s mandatory a face or may be a memory will flash before our eyes, but the duration of its stay depends on our activities we do following that incident. 

We may choose to avoid it by engaging in some priority works in hand or in some cases the person may sit and give it a thought as to ‘why it happened.?’

There are some moments in life which you wish to delete forever, or wish it never happened it the first place. But how often life takes our wishes?? 

Sometimes it takes an auspicious turn; a wicked one, which strikes you completely offguard. And you fall with your face flat! A wicked one, indeed!

Having a special one on your side can prove a boon, but don’t make them go away because it’s then the problem starts. If the mistake proves to be large enough you will end up losing them forever. And how often we curse ourselves for the stupid things we once did and wish………….Ah, life never makes you amend those wrong decisions!

Disappointment is what is left behind. It’s better to take smart decisions than to cry over the wrong ones. Yes, there is the option of moving forward, but it seldom happens quickly. 

Here I would like to introduce a new word TIME. It heals the worst of scars.

Someday I laugh someday I cry,

Some strings are touched, some are left behind.

Some are wired, some hang outside.

Some emotions are confessed, some hide inside.

Words are few to describe you my feelings,

Some are strong; some lie weak in the stand.

Still, the regret of letting you pass cannot subside.

Musings of a drunken girl.

drunk she was,
uttering twaddle from the start.

.

abusing her roommate
with frustrated and disgusting tone,
threatening to kill her today.

.

With few days to go,
waiting zealous for her mate to arrive.
Dreaming about him everyday,
hugging, with her arms stretched wide.

" with a week with him !!
dude, I am already on cloud nine "

.

assuring me, our friendship
would survive, breathing heavily...
even if the situations are turned futile.

The vodka shots are weaving their sorcery,
for her voice, gradually losing its intensity.

.

" Of the roads ahead,
you would find a suitable match.
Perhaps, I would only be omitted,
for my innocence and left behind. "

.

Amending her tone, she continued...
"you do value our friendship
or else we won't be here discussing.
You are my favorite,
let this friendship last,
even if it had a wavy start."

.

P.S-  written after a friend of mine called me in a drunken condition and kept reminding me of our friendship.

कुछ अन्कही बातें.

.

सामने हो कर भी उनसे कुछ कह न पाए,

लफजो मे उलझे रहे, गुफतगु हम कर न पाए I

बेमतलब ही बूनतें रहे सपने हजारों

और अरमान चाहत के,

आलम जब आया सामने, ईज़हार हम कर न पाए II

.

एक टक देखते रहे उन्हे दूर से ….

और चेहरा उन्का निहारते रहे मन कि तस्वीर से I

शाम निकल गई इसी असमन्जस मे,

पर उन कतारो के आगे कभी बढ न पाए II

.

दिल कहता रहा उन्से बात कर…

अपनी चाहत कि गहराई अपने लफजो मे बया कर,

ये चिंगारी बूझ ना जाए रात ढलने से पहले

इन तारो को गवाह बना, तू अपनी मोहब्बत का ईज़हार कर… II

.

भीड़ मे भी नीगाहे बस उन् पर बनी रही,

लाल लीवाज की छाई आंखो पर पड़ी रही

मौके की तलाश मे यूही भटकता रहे

खड़े थे वो सामने हमारे और हम बस आँख मचलते रहे   II

.

सामने हो कर भी उनसे कुछ कह न पाए,

लफजो मे उलझे रहे, ईज़हार हम कर न पाए.....

.

वकत की गाज हम पर आ गिड़ी....,

महफील मे जब उन्की उपस्थिति न मीली I

कुछ कहते  उससे पहले ही वो चले गए,

अरमान चाहत के सब बेमतलब रह गए,

लगा दि देर हमने बहुत

और इंतजार वो कर न पाए III

.

यादें....

हर zakham एक दर्द का ehsas dilati है.
दिल मे chupe हुए यादों के पास लाती है.

ये यादें ही तो हमे उनसे rubaru karati है......

welcome O, rain.

                                          the pouring rain kisses the ground,
                                              with the air moving in full form.

                                              the grain waving in unison,
                                         carries with a song worthy to be mentioned.

                                              The pouring rain washes the fields,
                                              making the thirsty pond relive.

                                             The water gushing in the puddles,
                                              returns the smiles of people,
                                             crossing the year long huddle.

                                             The moisture pours under the soil,
                                            releasing the heat trapped in
                                            from the months of june and July.

                                              The water from the ranges
                                                 commends to flow.
                                         And with it the lives of beings,
                                                  down the lobe.

                                     Watching all this, I inched forward
                                           my body bearing the wind,
                                  coupled by the drops from the heaven.
                                        drenching me all over again.

                                            With a smile on my face,
                                                  I danced down,
                                  sitting on the slope, I welcome you now.

A evening on the beach.

the unwavering zephyr flowing across the lake,
makes a hair fall on my face.

the gathering clouds on the horizon,
gives a solicitude look on the buddy beside..
sitting on the sand, hands folded in unison.

"hope it doesn't rain tonight...
I have to settle a few scores
before the water unleashes from heaven side."

the scattered clouds makes the mountain top gloomy,
the fall of few droplets and faded light
 makes the surrounding all the more hazy.

the fluttering of clothes soothes my body,
it blocks the way to shelter,
making our foot all the more heavy.

the wind turning intense with passage of time,
making the trees dance on their way,
with the leaves  shattered all across the bay.

getting inside I gave a sigh of relief,
but there's lot of sand all over my sleeve.

rendezvous in the moon light.

the inaugural paces of their lives,
that they took together
turned their love forever.

hand in hand they reached the top,
but their eyes  folded blind.

they laughed ,they smiled
but never had the courage to turn the tide.

of what they felt had never struck them before
after all it was love and it surely touched their soul.

it was just the beginning of a new dusk,
and the night brought them closer...
they saw each other and the distance was over.

sprouts did came of the seed they had sown together,
the initial moments were tighter...
after all it was love and they had lost themselves forever.

the wind changed to quite rain over the faded moon light,
and their heart full of springs.
they wanted to fly as if they had their wings.

the meeting was small but they never realized ,
how much they would cry when the stars bid them good bye.

with the memories of each other in their mind,
they reached their shelter.
with no regret in their hearts,
after all it was their decision which changed their love forever.

prompted for   romantic room

don't leave me alone.

                                                             take me along,
                                                         before you walk out of the wall.
                                                         This loneliness is heartening,
                                                         and I don't wanna fall apart.


                                                         Hand in hand we make a complete picture,
                                                          hold me tight before I collapse,
                                                        by the drop of the liquor.


                                                   It aches to see you devise...
                                                    and I wanna commit to you,
                                             before you make the move out of my sight.


                                                   Take my hand and walk in the streets...
                                                      let me be close to you,
                                                  just walk with me,till the sun opt to cease.

college days..

it has been about a month since I joined my college and I had experienced a mixed bag of feelings... 

1st things first,   I (or rather we) were fortunate enough that we weren't ragged by our seniors...though small intro sessions did take place. But you gotta expect these in any college.

the classes began and I figured all our teachers borrrringggg...  yes! I had to use few additional words to express my feelings... ;)
looking at the brighter side, I got the way  to pass their classes. I am posting down a day of hectic torture session.

the boring lectures and classes..
makes me insane with time,
I wish there was a way,
they could make me remember
of the sweet bottle of wine.

the resistances and circuit..
flow over my head..
I wish to pen down,
some more thoughts with my black lead.

the watch had stopped working..
the shoulders dropping ,
I wish to make a move..
I wish I could clear my way out.


as I was writing this so called  short poem, my friend was busy with something else..... which happens to be this...

My life (without you.)

 gone are those days...
when we used to sing together,
and cherish every moments
as if they belonged to us forever.

standing here alone,I feel your absence ,
half of my day passes away,
with me not in my senses.

Dreaming about your return,
I was proven wrong.

With each setting sun,
my mind took a huge turn around.

Nights seems more taunting,
when your images are all over me.
in my memories you seem so near,
but when I open my eyes,
why do you always disappear.?

The last few days had been the worse,
and my life seems to be giving me a strange curse.

Don't know for how long I have to savour them,
these are all, I have got with me
which makes me remember of everything,
we did together once.

days spend with you,
were the best ones of my life.
Every moments talkking to you
relieved the pain given to me by divine.

love.

Love is the thing that makes you go mad.
And before you realize you are trapped in it ever so bad.

The people around you matter least,
its in the face of her's  that all your world exists.

Sunrise and sunsets seems beautifull,
and it's in the arms of hers that you feel your day is complete.

Love is the thing that changes your mind...
and rest of the world is left wondering behind.

lonely loon

P.S - this poem has been written by Nipun Ranjan , auther of  'the lost scraps of love'


I liked loved this poem of his,so I am posting it here.




No one is there to say you hi,
You can’t expect even a decent goodbye,
All alone in this world you are,
And no one cries when you’re far.

Far away in an alien place,
Where life is running at a blinding pace,
No one bothers how you live,
They just ask if you got anything to give.

Friendship is also a business these days,
Sometimes indirectly and sometimes in direct ways,
It’s all about what you give and take,
Even the promises and commitments are sometimes fake.

Whoever you get close to leaves you alone,
Lonely again you are on your own,
Nobody has time to comfort your wounds,
They even say they have their own bounds.


And love is such a dreaded word,
Its meaning is getting day by day absurd,
They will leave you abruptly one day,
All of a sudden ,unexpectedly, midway.

Nobody will let you freely dream,
Envying they turn green,
They love to break our fancy world,
And with all the dreams shattered.

All alone you cry,
Without tears; all dry,
You can’t even show your emotion you know,
They will guffaw at your sentiments your passion.

Now when you have realised all this oh loon,
No one is coming later or soon,
And there is nothing that can be done,
You have to live and die alone.

I wish I could tell you.

I wish I could tell you
how much I wanted to be with you.
The pain of losing you is still there..
why do you act like this
as if you just dont care.

I wish I could tell you how I felt,
when you moved over me.
You said it gave you happiness,
but you didint realized
you were blaming my love instead.

I wish I could make you believe,
for all that I did was pure.
our relation did had a start
but why didint it lasted longer.?

I wish I could tell,
how I dreamt of you night and day,
losing you is not what I wanted.
but I had to accept all these,
as my wish was not granted.

You said theres more to life than me,
I wish I could tell you
there are vacant spaces in my life,
without you.

I want to go out( cryings of a 10 yr.)

the streets are covered with snow..
how would I get out ?? I just dont know.

why it had to happen this time of the year,
when I was roaming around without any fear.

I want to go out, not sit inside..
my world is there,
then I what I am doing here.?

the streets are empty...
the wheels are struck,
I want to go out,
but my mom doesnt listens to me either.

the indoor stuffs makes me lame.
and I dont want tomorrow to be the same.

I want to go out and have some fun,
but this temperature makes me totally numb .

its not over.

sitting inside all alone..
I have nobody to wipe off my tears,
I have nobody to say "I am there".

I face the reality and truth now...
everyone have their own lives...
and nobody cares for,
other than themselves.

I had decided to quit,
seemed everything was over.
But when I looked around..
there were still some hands,
waiting for me.

some dreams are incomplete,
some dreams are yet to be seen....
And some battles are still,
left to be fought.

I have more in myself..
than what I believed.
I have my friends and family...
and thats what all I need..

the calmness of the sea.

The calmness of the sea..
prevails for a while,
its just a matter of time,
when the clouds set a blaze of fire.

Wish these moments lasts a little longer,
the coolness of the breeze, the silent waves...
all I dont want is a storm to disturb my gaze.

The gentle touch of the waves to my feet.
the returning of the birds to the nest.
I wish to watch this a little longer..
I wish to keep this peace of mine..
but how long it would last, now I wonder.

As the wind touches my body,
the feelings are hard to describe...
I wish I could fly like those birds,
and touch that horizon one last time.

I dont want to go,
I dont want that busy life of mine...
I wish of making a home here...
and never say this place good bye.

I WILL REMEMBER YOU.

All those nights and days spend together...
I could not have asked for anything better.
They made me sing, they made me laugh.
together we left the world around.

I will remember you every morning,
with a smile on my face...
somewhere you  would be having  the same.
every time you would feel me.
crossing your lane.

I will remember you every evening,
for all the talk we made together...
I have them in my mind...
and they are going to be with me forever.

I will remember you in silence,
and in every heart beat of mine.
you were here in the morning,
but left me when the clock struck nine.??

I will remember you for all the time we shared together,
you are not with me,
but my love will last forever.

WHY DID YOU CHANGE SO MUCH.

Why did you change so much?

like its difficult for me.

I had loved you...

more than you felt.

I still dream of you

night and day,

waiting for your arrival...

today and yesterday.

Why did you change so much?

I loved you for what you were...

the simplicity ,the innocence..

all gone by the fall of the year.?

I thought I had known you enough,

but you proved me wrong...

I suffered for my mistake,

but  cant regret it now.

You promised to be with me...

but left me mid-way,

its all that you cared for me,

with each passing day.?

Why did you change so much.?

I miss you every single day.

Please come back to me,

thats all I have to say.

the break up

you decided to walk away,
without caring for what I wanted.
you took a step ahead,
and left me there spell bounded.

All my pleading gone in vain,
but it never tickled
a nerve in your brain.

The crashing of my heart
didnt  made a sound...
and you didnt bothered to turn around.

Moping around your trail,
all of my life..
I discarded the dream
of making you my wife.

Time did pass away,
even when it seemed impossible,
I am losing you with each passing day.

Despite all your rude temper,
I am standing here...
waiting for your return..
but does it really matters to anyone.
