Shake like A Leaf

Two thirty in the morning, lights on in my room, Two thirty in the night, life goes on what can you do, Scrapping the edges of my brain, memories washed out but not forgotten Never see me quiver on a thought, my heart be done flogging Comical timing, wind rhyming, bird chirping and cities whining...

See You Soon.

You're broken but seemingly irreplaceable, I lack focus, my mind unattainable, We meet every now and then, In the scintillating valley of off-timing, We run away as our chemistry turns into lightening. Gone are the days when I was just man ruled by my vices, You too have bid adieu to your kingdom of niceness,...

Hercules In An Idle World

Imagine I was Hercules returning to a normal life, To a house filled with comfort, food and wine, When doomsday has been taken care of, when the world could use some time, I will travel back to earth and I'll start without a dime. Would I kick it on the sofa and binge watch through...

The Lord and the Queen

They see you at the club, I see your everyday crazy, You do this and that, feel shit and comeback, You multitask like being God is easy Beat the world twice and they'll still call you lazy You fight these entitled pricks on a everyday basis You don't sweat, sit back and kick it like...

दुख के बंदी

ओ दुख के बंदी!जंग तेरी ख़ुद से हैग़ैरों पे मंजर क्यूँ लाता हैं?दर्द तेरे सीने में है फिर ज़िक्र ज़ुबान पे क्यूँ आता है?है गहरा अंधेरा छाया जोहै संसार अभी भी वहीं का वहींये तो समय का दर्पण है , ये तेरा वजूद नहीतूने सोचा होगा वोही जो हमेशा होता आया सोच नश्वर इंसान ज़रा...

Neurotic Despondencies

The corner of your eye pricks my funny bones, Your absence, worse than sticks and stones, We dealt with love and we dealt with pain, Couple of twenty years olds, We just couldn't fool our brains. I held your hand knowing not what was ahead, Hithering and thithering accross examination rooms, You looked afraid and...

Don’t Seem Right.

Remind me to take a left the next time I enter my mind, I have this crippling weight on my chest, Feels like my conscience is subdued by heartaches, For me and my destiny, are forever stuck between a rock and a hard place. Bring me these objects, let's begin the process, A cup, a...

Dreams of the Second Kind.

My first try at lyrical poetry. (Please be gentle) This weight that I can't supply, Doesn't slip by the naked eye, Says be my friend and time will fly, Don't accept no truth, don't make no lie. Wither with me to deeper end, Across space, time and continents, Time alignment on a perfect tangent, Slithering...

Lack of Resistance

There once stood a man, ill at ease, and succumbing to fade, Facing  an identify war akin to a splitting grenade. Witnessing in horror each mind numbing shrapnel, As it hit him in past tense and peeled him thoughtless. Since he chose the road but didn't chose to fight, He was left with no time...

Form and Function( A three poem series)

Quitclaim Deed Would you return if you had received, a string of sorrows and endless grief, from  fate, with a familiar ardency, leaving behind a scar for eternity. Would you try to identify ? Who's behind it and the why. Would you succumb to make-belief? Or will you let it go like a quitclaim deed? Would...
