solitary musings...

You ask me,if i'm alone;
I smile and say,"yes".
You ask me, if I'm lonely;
I smile again and say,"no".
I've got company..

of hours that fluttered by in seconds
of seconds that'll linger on for years
of things which happened,
and those which did not
of words which were said,
and those which were not
of half truths and true lies
of green grass and blue skies
of smiles, sights, sounds,smells,
looks, laughter..
of you.

You ask me, if I miss you;
I say,"no".
You can't miss your heartbeats
can you?
they're just there, all the time
whether you notice them or not
and if they are not'
you still can't miss them!

You tell me that I'm silent;
maybe, there's not much to say,
or maybe.. too much.
maybe, I don't have enough words,
or maybe.. just too many
or maybe..I don't need them...

You ask me, if I'm happy;
...
can I be anything else?
Can you be?

Emotions....

HERE I AM.....

so here I am, once again, after the self imposed 5 month long hiatus; inspired by nothing else than pure unadulterated lassitude and lethargy!!! no romantic excuses of a 'writer's block'... but yeah a big thanks to all those who wished me speedy recovery from it all the same; & kept pestering my blissful idleness!!;)

the work that i've got here, is also not the result of some overpowering unbound poetic urges (the poet's still feelin lazy!!); but a factory manufactured piece for a fashion show; where we had to portray different emotions through different colours! but it turned out to be pretty fun & interesting job! hope it makes as interesting a read as well!!

EMOTIONS...

Emotions....

they play with us,

and rule over us.

they make us dance to their tune,

and then laugh at us.

they make us choke back the tears,

which threaten to reveal secrets of the heart;

they come unannounced into our planned lives

and just shake it apart.

they make us grow back into a child,

& jump into a rain puddle;

they make us smile at awkward times

& land us in a muddle.

they make us wince in pain,

they make us dance in the rain,

They move us around like the pieces of chess;

& we bow down to our masters

& have no regrets.

LOVE

The world appears rosy,

winters seem cosy.

thought f someone makes me smile,

busy life seems to rest awhile.

thoughts unspoken, yet understood

never leave the mind;

eyes filled with dreams for tomorrow

have no time to turn behind.

Is it something sent from above;

or may be its just love!

HAPPINESS

The bright yellow sunshine

fills up all the senses,

feet tap to the rhythm of life

shedding all pretenses;

there's a spring in every step

& song on all the lips,

the heart can't follow a straight path,

it jumps, hops & skips.

sending worries to the winds,

I sing words out of tune;

'Oh! I'm so happy!', sings my heart

as I reach up for the moon!

SORROW

blue clouds of despair

cover the horizon,

and fogs of misery

hide the glowin sun;

the mind delves into

indigo depths of gloom;

and searing pain in heart

fears impending doom.

when tears drown the smiles,

as if there's no tomorrow;

the heart pines for a ray of

to free it from this sorrow.

PASSION
The fire of passion rages within

its unyielding power, makes the world spin

like uncaged birds,

it soars and flies;

like untamed flames,

it reddens the skies;

the gut-wrenching urges,

ripping at the inside

explode; when the limits

get stretched too wide.

ANGER

The dark fury of anger,

closes my mind to reason.

all around i can see,

hatred, revenge & treason.

the blinding rage has shut my eyes,

my mind resounds with screams & cries;

I do not wait

I retaliate

Burn down the world to ashes

till smoke emanates!
