Rebirth

Aah! I see the sun still peeps from behind the murky clouds. I hear the distant bird chirping, a hopper celebrate the velvety night.

All is not lost it seems… I must not defeat faith. It binds, beyond brick and concrete.

It is time I keep my conviction alive, and sow saplings for new life to take charge.

Home coming

I have come back to a barren land. The green of moss has replaced that of young, fresh leaves. The air that I take in smells stale. Beaches have turned into little dens of slugs. I see high tides all around ready to consume a land that grew with it. It is as if I have come back to the infested remnants of an unfortunate dynasty; as if, I have entered a world that is not mine.

I am guilty of the abandon. And that is crime enough. I seek a second chance!

The world within

My spirit lengthen unto yours,

onto the little patches of 'goodness'

I capitulate all that is festered, all that pains,

while you dig in deeper…

Exploring all that remains

Revival

Recurring thoughts of you
Resounding, as the droplets
falling still,
fill in the quietness
of the relumed passion
An unforeseen life
strikes,
the otherwise frozen soul
And you,
like an impeccable odour
charming and restful,
impregnate the whole...

परिचित पथ

आकाश में घिरे बादलों के बीच

मैंने कुछ रंगों सा देखा है

जैसे निचोड़ने पे सिर्फ़ पानी ही नहीं

भावनाएं भी उमड़ आई हैं

कुछ टपकती पारदर्शी संवेदनाएं हैं

कुछ प्रत्यक्ष होता, कौंधता संताप

जहाँ खुशियों की आंखें हर मौसम बिछती हैं

धनुक सा दिखता वह आशाओं का डगर है

The Tide Country

Another world of concrete

Away from the real

Metaphysics inspired yet suspended…

Through the wandering, meandering trail

Beneath the shadow of the day

A new civilization is born
