Humanity...

We give out roses
in full bloom bouquets
when what we really need
is love more than roses

we give out roses,
to make tomorrow better
but how can we look at tomorrow
when yesterday still haunts today?

we give out roses
in the hope
the thorns will get them good
we scream as blood and chaos reigns
the pious pray
the weak cry
the intelligent turn blind
and everyone calls for a saviour
we look to the heavens and call for a saviour
but we all fail to see our saviour
who is here

our saviour and destructor alike
Born to us
from sin
from divine
It holds the key
to so much
to so little

our benefactor
our malefactor
with iron hands
with flesh heart
It makes the world revolve
and revolves around the world

It fights with one hand
cleaving the world
and with the other
healing the gashes

In our human form
we fuel its malfeasance
boisterous laughter
we are devils

In our human form
we extend our hands shielding wounded
righteous action
we are gods

our saviour
our destructor
when will we see
right in front of our eyes
we still call out to the heavens
when who can help us is here
when who can destroy us is here

We give out roses
in full bloom bouquets
when what we really need
is love more than roses

An ode to hope

An ode to hope

I wonder where you went away,

are you truly dead?

or lost to us all?

either way you cease to exist.

even now that you have gone,

your spirit still lingers long,
i still,

feel you in the Internationale,

hear you in a child's laugh,

see you in spring’s blossom.

and i know most believe your still alive,

but I know it’s a beautiful lie,
why did you go away?
leaving us all astray.

I wonder where you went to die,

in desperation I search every kind eye,

look what i have become,

a mendicant now,
here without hope.

in desperation,

I looked for you in the Styx,

in flowing death,

wishing to find,

remnants of your life,

and

I looked for you in Rishikesh,

in flowing life,

wishing to find,

remnants of your death,
i wonder where you went to die.

hope’s last fleeting steps,

across desolate mindscape,

my last memory,

of the great immortal,

infected with mortality.

i wonder where you went to die

i know why you went to die

I wrote this three days back and reworked it today. Something is off here and i'm not happy with this one :( unfortunately I seem to be getting progressively worse instead of getting better. sigh...


OH! and please leave comments
love it or hate it I sooooooooo wanna know!

Smile like u mean it

just wish me luck.

getting closer, can't see it

sensing it with none of my senses,

my heart beats in tandem,

with the devil himself,

i hear the whispers,

"don't fight it,

don't run,

it will be over soon,

just smile like u mean it,

smile and say goodbye"

i hear the whispers,

i hear it,

as it constricts my chest,

this blanket,

of needles and venom,

warmth in frigid reality.

it was on nights like this,

i remembered,

how much i fought,

to see sense in the system,

i tried to see the light,

sometimes i saw it ur in smile,

but, it was unreal too,

in desperation i tried,

to be with u all,

to be without u all.

blood glides gracefully

away from the being it fuels.

i hear the familiar tune,

its the songbird.

it will never change.

playing over and over,

the same song ,

till it finds peace,

or finds itself in pieces.

just wish me luck,

it is coming and i have no voice,

not my will,

just my need,

i need to be free,

i need to feel,

like the person,

in those beautiful,

pictures – flawless.

and now i hear it

i hear the whispers

"don't fight it,

don't run,

it will be over soon,

just smile like u mean it,

smile and say goodbye"

i hear the whispers,

i hear it,

and i feel fear,

i feel alone,

wishing for peace,

as unreal as ur smile.

Just something i wrote. I don't really like this one, not like i love my other 'poems' (if u can call them that!) but this one i particularly don't like. I'm posting this cause i have nothing else to post!

please leave comments –

love it

or

hate it

i wanna hear it!

When it rains

Something I wrote a couple of minutes back. Please leave any comments if this means anything to you. Thank you.

PS: yeah its crap after all I wrote it :)

 

 

sometimes when rain strikes hard

unbending determined velocity

i look from the window

everything appears distorted

but the window itself is clear

clarity found only when

rain strikes hard
