One Wish Not Granted

I wish these were the words which I never wrote but they flow through my hand involuntarily and they guide me inside this ubiquitous ocean of thoughts which emanate through the deepest trench of my mind.

And I wish the warmth of a voice would guide me through this night of loneliness and encompasses over me a blanket to hide from the grotesque thoughts hovering above my grapefruit.

I wish that I could fool the clock by moving its hands fast enough and instill in me a strength to cope up with the fear of forever losing everyone close.

I wish I could hold her hands and nibble around the fingers and spread a love so magnificent that it would outshine the full moon and the gods would command us not to stop till they are asleep.

I wish things were not as they are now, nights spent in a trance, overawed by the circumstances I have felt my knees losing their strength every single moment I stand here alone to wallow in despair.

I wish those books I read would swallow me in and I parlay with my favourite characters and live a life which would have its end decided by a hand moving with so much love on the typewriter.

I wish I could roam around the world without an iota of worry on my mind and construct myself an unwavering path on which I would meet lost souls like me and share my clouded being with them.

I wish she could see me at this hand of clock and whisper gibberish in my ears which would feel like the most profound poetry I would ever hear.

I wish my creators were here to hold me and teach me the myriad ways of the world, they would tell me to make my own luck and take a leap of faith from which there is no way back to sanity.

I wish I would meet that special soul with whom I share my platonic love and the curse of compassion thereby leaving us in a different spiritual and spatial plane all together where no one could disturb us but us.

I wish to die alongside everyone I love and admire, I wish to drink gallons without any restraint, I wish to make love with reckless abandon, I wish to follow my path of hedonism where everything would be permitted, I wish to finally capture love the flighty mistress in all women I meet, I wish to see all that is beautiful in this world but all of them I could have seen in her eyes reading this, that is one wish the genie wouldn't grant me.

Lost Speech for Convocation

This world does not let me fall
All they want is for me to stand tall
Braving alone the dusty winds
Champion built with sweat & grind

No don't expect from my dark heart
Myriad are his ways, never to part
All he wants is the cloud of ecstacy
Burst open and shower me so happy

The trawl captures me, so vicious
Shackled with ways of world, so lush
Expand the horizon of mirth to ends
Rapturous the limitless world it lends

The questions have no answer here
Bohemians meet you and spark flares
Palpable is the joy of heart dancing
Rare are the breed of wolves prancing

The times have come for the change
To drink up the scenery in this lane
Taste the sweetness in air and hope
Sing to break the monotony of soul

The world will use and bitterly throw
Remain cocooned in the fragile dough
Gliding down the rainbow black & white
Bruises are melting and shape is right

Look at this house built of melting walls
It will not change the swaggering walk
Before I disintegrate into nothingness
World I will also take you down the abyss

Reign. Rain. Love. Whiskey. Death.

Waiting for the summer rains
It has been so long in chains
On the lookout for the saviour
Rescue me and go to your lair
This melody so haunting smiles
Pinch the skin to feel the life

Lost on the street of love
He now must pay his dues
All the efforts fly in the sky
Like a kite whose runner dies
Surrender to the game of fate
Gaze her, the lust, don't wait

Pondering over a future unsure
The questions do not halt
Find people who never give up
On you, the balloon of hope
The surging feel of happiness
Notorious to leave one addicted

Grey skies hide the cloud tears
They fall and the roads breathe
Broken shell of fruits scattered
Kissed by the earth flattered
Remind me of a good time once
Take me to that boat of silence

Wilderness consumes the feel
Whiskey bars help them repeal
Till the day eyes can move
Drop of bliss in every groove
Fly to the moon and stars
Swim the path to reach the bar

It's all over and so suddenly
Grief and happiness both meet
Can't resist the bed so discreet
Fate has a place six feets under
So many came and went along
None was special and died wrong

Dry Sands

The sands are dry even though the waves comfort them
They crave for the sun's approval
Sea loves them but to him they remain cruel
Self hatred in abundance inside particles
Consumed in the dark hole, a free fall
Fire was spread long back in the jungle
Every leaf burned and barks they sparkle

Driving on the moonlit highway inside a wooden board, he felt alive
He started bleeding to halt the anguish
Dripping the wheels coagulated, oh the blemish
Howling away in agony was a distant wolf
Then it started snowing in the hot desert
Dreams they go on, commotion and unrest

He tried to pluck the roses, they paid no heed, only thorns stuck
Sand is too slippery, keeps flowing away
Giving a shoulder to the waves in fray
I told them it happens to the best of us
A game of free will it is, where love bests the lust

Holding my hand the poor sand questioned
What is the fault which destroys me
I said no fault, only present in sun's eye
Just let yourself go, the freedom is yours
Without abandonment of rules, freedom is not pure

Now she remains unloved but not desperate
She knows the day will come for rest
The hands which sow the plant keep holding the axe when they grow up
Nobody knows the eternal truth hold up
Journey goes by ending in unconscious state
Sands still remain dry and they still cry
The sun doesn't give up and holds high
