bade ho rahe ho aap

Chalo bete, bahar jaao,
Shaam ho rahi hai,
Thoda ghoom ke aao.
Dost intezaar kar rahe honge aapke,
Abhi umar hai,
Khelo, koodo, muskaraao,
Beta, bachhe ho abhi aap.

..

..
Arre, abhi tak bahar?
Waqt ka andaaza naa laga,
Yaa dimaag shaitaan ko de aayin aap?
Padhai karni hai,
Hazaaron cheezein hain zamaane mein,
Kab samjhoge,
Beta, bade ho rahe ho aap.

..

..
Haan, pata hai humein,
Wo aapke bachpan ka dost hai,
Magar hamaari izzat ka bhi kucch karo lihaaz.
Mahaulle waale kya sochenge?
Ek hi to beti hai hamaari,
Naam kharaab hua to jaayenge kahan?
Sharma ji ki dekho beti,
Government school mein padhke laayi hai 85%,
Private school mein padhke kya yahi seekha aapne?
Kab samjhoge?
Bete bade ho rahe ho aap.

..

..
Haan, maana aap bade doctor ho,
Bade sheher mein rehte ho,
Lambi gaadi hai aapki!
Magar humaari zindagi to yahin hai.
Biraadari kya sochegi?
Nahin beta, maana wo bhi doctor hai,
But apni jaat ka to hai nahin.
Hamaare khaandaan mein kisi nein aisa nahin kiya,
Komal chaachi ki betiyon ko dekho,
Kaise dhoom dhaam se vidaayi ki thi.
Sirf apne baare mein mat socho gudiya,
Beta maan jaao,
Beta,
Beta bade ho gaye ho aap.

Parallel Universe

The parallel universe,

Oh it paints a beautiful picture for us!

There are starry nights and flickering away,

Is the warmth of an amorous candlelight.

 

There are no barriers, there are no boundaries,

I can feel you by my side and you me.

Where nights smell of love, and we paint our rosy pictures!

I climb on top and you push me to the side,

Maybe playfully sing that the time’s not right.

Then I hold you close and you give me a kiss,

Tell me, maybe, just maybe, this life doesn’t go amiss.

 

And this life could have turned a little better,

Don’t you wish we could have met somewhat earlier?

Where you weren’t bounded by your rules, and I weren’t that free from mine,

We could have given it a shot and seen it through time.

 

Time passed and took our reckless yonder of youth,

Where we could experiment, and wasn’t there plenty o’clock to mend?

There isn’t now and all we have are the fortresses in our heads,

And no one can breach the walls of memories that we have shared,

No one but us.

And every night, we will drink our glasses of wine,

Travel distances, the realms of time,

And when you are tired, I’ll kiss you to sleep,

Maybe, just maybe, you’ll tell me if this life doesn’t go amiss.

 

Oh the parallel universe,

What a beautiful picture it would be!

There will be starry nights,

And flickering away in the distance,

Be the warmth of our amorous candlelight.

 

 

 

TrainWreck

trainwreck

 

..And he never could realize,
When was it that the perfect life just passed him by?
There had been glimmers of hope the entire while,
Plucked away, a shimmer at a time.

If he put his thoughts coherently enough,
He could see what he once was.
His lofted vanity and buoyant mannerisms,
Even if it all were a mask.
Should never ever have,
He laid bare his naked self for a few,
Sold was his soul, and he cut himself some new.
He looked at the abyss and the abyss glanced back,
What is the question he never could attack?

The voices, they now dictate what he needs to do,
He submitted to them long before he knew.
They scream sometimes, but that’s just fine,
As long as his hollow shell pours itself some old wine.
His speech gets hoarse, the bones creak as he walks,
But the voices assure him that it’s the way of the lord.

But somedays, sometimes, they go on for a retreat,
As the clouds lift, he begs for another dream.
And thinking of dreams, he shudders and cries,
Weren’t they what got him here with their beautifully constructed lies?

Come,
Lie with me for a while.
We’ll build castles that float in the sky,
And we’ll climb through the clouds,
to visit them by.

I’ll tell you stories that you may have never heard before,
And you appear intrigued like you didn’t see the twists coming at all!
We’ll laugh and talk and smile,
Every few minutes, steal a look into the others’ eyes.
The parallel universe, wouldn’t it be the best place for us?
No one could find us, no one but us.

We’ll jump around the places from time to time,
Travel in the old English carriages, and drink ourselves fine wine.
And we’ll stop in the desert and lie under the billion stars,
Maybe travel up north and cause ripples in the lights up far.

We will do this and so much more,
And it’ll all start here, my love,
In your gentle arms, we’ll travel up and above.

The summer breeze

As I stood staring at the pale moonlight,

The street spoke to me,

The sound that I heard was your soft voice,

And I wondered where you would be.

 

The gentle breeze,

It blew ever so peacefully,

There was a sense of calm around it,

And it reminded me of you.

 

There were two small pieces of paper,

Torn apart from a notebook where they must have lay,

Sewn together.

The wind blew them in circles,

Each rotating around itself,

And trying to revolve to catch the other.

They would meet a second,

And separate out the next.

 

With the wind, their charade died,

Apart, defeated, they lay spewn aside.

These papers, they flashed memories of fear,

The times when I realized our end was near.

 

The church at the corner rang its bells,

Another hour must have passed in its wake.

The chiming reminded me of the time that past,

The sunshines, the sunsets, and the life it was.

The car on the corner, it spoke of you,

The one long trip that we never took.

The snow flakes, they carried your mark,

How I wished I had more in my cask.

The silence around, it bellowed your name,

Taking me to our journeys and flashing at me, your face.

 

But the gentle breeze, it blew again,

Whispered to me softly, called out my name.

I could do nothing but slyly smile,

For you were the warm summer breeze in my life.

 

 

—-

P.S: The timeline for this is winter. The warm summer breeze is the feeling of warmth amidst all the cold.

 

What if?

what if

What if our summer ends,
And you get to know me better,
Will you still hold me the way you did?
Look at me with the eyes of the past,
When the grass was greener and time didn’t pull us apart.

What happens to us in our fall,
When life starts shedding its colors,
Will you still come back and give me a kiss?
Watch over me as the things unfold,
And wait for our winter to come.

And what happens if the bubble bursts,
If the stars realign and fantasies reduce to dust.
Will you see me like all the others?
Would I still have to run and hide,
Or will you be there by my side?

Inspired by “Your Possible Past” by Floyd and something that I saw written somewhere.

The joker and the batman

the joker

 
The laughing psychopath did his best,
Deceit, madness and daggers shot at chest.
Wrecked havoc in the minds of the entire town,
Nothing the same after him around.

 
The greatest thing that devil ever pulled is to convince the world that he does not exist.

 
The madman understood it all,
Inside the maniacal laughter,
Resided a sense of foreboding calm.
This might sound insane, but that was his nature,
An animal so viscous even darkness failed to cater.
Midst all lunacy, he sang his lullabies,
Destroying all in his wake, the rest left to try.

 
When a joker dies, the joke remains.

 
I couldn’t do it, could I?
Let countless perish, allowed her to die.
Only solace is his master plan failed,
Killing him would have made a joker the world was not ready to face.

My body can take more but the mind is only human.

 
But I will get back before a bastard strikes again,
There won’t be another joker,
I need to make sure of that.
I know that my time will come sooner than later,
This is the destiny years ago I chose to cater.
The town will be a happier place when I am done.
No crazy laughs, no killing of parents beside the masts.

 
The world will never need to know who I really am,
But I will rise again.
For I am,
I am the batman.

Tantalizing dreams

dreams

 

You came to my dreams last night,

Caressed my face with your lips,

And kissed me goodbye.

 

We both wore our true colors this time,

You the brightest light in the room,

And I searched for a place to hide.

 

You sparkled in that low-cut top that I always used to hate,

Maybe that was your way of showing me my place.

I kept looking for answers and could find none,

You taught me the fallacy of unconditional love.

 

We went to the bed together,

But I could never sleep.

Followed your hand into the ocean,

When I had not one idea how to swim.

 

But in the dream you made me smile again,

Didn’t want to let you go,

It just had to be that way. 

Tried to follow you into the darkness as you waved me by,

The ring on your finger made me change my mind.

 

 

Lie to me

Lie to me, my darling,
Make me feel that I’m the one.
When I’m down and I’m out,
Be the sunshine that carries me around.

Lie to me, love,
When I ask about your past.
It might have felt real too, the time that was,
But talk to me how present blows you apart.

Lie to me, baby,
Tell me that I’m special.
Hold me, caress me, talk to me,
Plant on me the kisses I do not deserve.
Lie to me, my starlight,
And love me, love me, love me.
