Soliloquy...

You glisten upon me
Like you hold some secrets...
Entrapped in your cape
That spans across and above.....
Thousands of bits
Of human illumination.....
I know there is more
Beyond the tiresome bindings
Of these vagaries of life......
Yet to look beyond the frames
Of the trained imagination
That we name the "future"....
Is a feat I cant seem to contain
Within my limits....
Perhaps then, your smile
Is all I have.....
To depend on
And know, that somewhere....
You hide someone....
Who will sketch it all out
Before me....
Till then, I content myself
To the confines
Of my random soliloquy....

I desire to call you Life...

Your laughter in my mind,
A soft caress....
Like a conspiracy of the winds,
Leans close....
And whispers
A few unspoken words that beckon,
And tug at the Me
Within me....
Someone I seemed to have lost...
I see her again
In you....
Come closer still
There are crumbs of love stolen
That hide in your sunshine....
Which I wish to take in.....
Your infectious smell
Tempts my soul,
To dive into those unfathomable depths
I feared looking into.....
Love is walking up to me
Slowly, with padded feet....
And I'm already immersed
You drown me, you misted illusion
And I desire to call you Life.....



Thank you ZNMD...Maaz Kazmi...
My inspirations....

Dreamland City

I look beyond the window frame
And the one that binds my mind...
Into a world unearthed
Like the ones fairy tales assure...
No white horses though,
Or princes in armor...
Just the same old sun
In a childlike avatar
Hiding its face
Behind unsuspecting ravines
Enticing me into a story
That many leave untold...
Of the life beneath,
The rubble and the poor
A tale that I wish
Was never ignored....
Man plays his dirty games
Yet this is one land,
He failed to foil....
Where crows too
Have a song of their own...
And the golden grains of life
Are willing to brave the world...
This generous giving of nature
I take in, and as I see
I'd like to call this
My Dreamland city...

[Dedicated to the scenic ravines of 
Madhya Pradesh,which many condemn...
And the random signboard
that rightly said "Dreamland City"]

Consummation....

As the night shamelessly bares
The naked moon...
Blushing in all her virginity
At the promiscuous stars...
I stare into the wall....
Peeling away at its paint
To look at the shade inside,
And see what you are made of....
You take no time,
To feel my insides....
But I want you slow....slower still....
I want you to hush
Your craving whispers....
And listen to that distant music.....
Which grips my chords
And renders me speechless.....
You pause to look at me...
I drench you in my gaze...
You touch my lips with a sigh...
And I place them soft
On your moonlit smile....
While eternity holds her breath
To rejoice our consummation.......

Connoisseur...


A different music
Enchants my threadbare mind
Today, the drops of sunlight
Seem to drench my bones
A life I sought to own...
Is given away
And a last glance
No significance bore....

I torched you with my passion....
The pain in my heart still sore
Fell I at your behest
In the waters of depths untold...
And now I beat around
Endlessly in choppy waves....
While you hide from my silent whispers....
Playing tricks of the deceptive rays.....

Its only those handful of words
Craving an outward release.......
That are faithful to their connoisseur
Relieving me from a listless bait.....
Only theirs is an attempt
To weave a tale 
That heals a wish bound soul......
That tenders an arduous wait.....
