To and Fro...
His Pendulum swings
To and fro
My eyeballs swing along
“Focus” says
his steady voice
But my mind is on a song…
I've learnt the trick
To stay awake
And dream with open eyes…
The peace within
A paradise
Away from the maddening noise
In a spell
I hear the piper’s call
A glide away from pain
Scattered thoughts
Careless knots
Untied and tied again…
I shroud myself
In the umbra black
The light a distant dot
In trance I drown
Into the abysmal hole…
Isn't Life but a dreamy plot… ?
He can try
As long as he wants
But he’ll never see my wings!
To and fro
To and fro
In vain his pendulum swings…
To and fro
My eyeballs swing along
“Focus” says
his steady voice
But my mind is on a song…
I've learnt the trick
To stay awake
And dream with open eyes…
The peace within
A paradise
Away from the maddening noise
In a spell
I hear the piper’s call
A glide away from pain
Scattered thoughts
Careless knots
Untied and tied again…
I shroud myself
In the umbra black
The light a distant dot
In trance I drown
Into the abysmal hole…
Isn't Life but a dreamy plot… ?
He can try
As long as he wants
But he’ll never see my wings!
To and fro
To and fro
In vain his pendulum swings…

The Walk...
Down the memory lane
My Dried cells awake
With every step I take
Long lost pals I meet
On the receding way
Time has sculpted them
Each in a unique way
Few are glad to see me
And join my simple trot
While few are just distraught
Estranged in their own path
But let me just walk-on
Into the sands of time
Collecting what I can and
Coloring the Sepia land
My own history beckons
As I awake from Oblivion
Let me just walk on
Let me just walk on…

The Paper Heart...
![]() |
| image courtesy : google |
On the floor lies
A forgotten heart
A crumpled tissue
Used and discarded
Lifeless,
Loveless,
Red.
I take it in my hand
Straighten the wrinkles
Scribbled all over
A tale Blotted with
Tears,
Fears,
Blood
I tear it to bits
And throw it up
The wind carries off
As I walk on…
Hopeless,
Heartless,
Dead…
