HELLO, I'M DOOR.

Years of mute observation
Underneath the brittle wall
Supporting the fake notion
Of a life lived with chin tall

Seen it all happen around here
Passionate love drunken stupor
All I learnt from this experience
Farewell the only alive gesture

Hidden inside me are skeletons
Secrets stacked in proportion
Winds blow in wrong direction
Leading to nasty conclusion

I laugh at the human pains
The fairy tale of their dreams
The poor never do realize
Life is not there to please

I open and then I close
Just like a wavering mind
I love the children playing
Only they are worth observing

Goodbyes and lovely Hi's
Life only runs in a cycle
Joy of birth and sad funeral
While I remain the eyes eternal

EUPHONY

Sometimes the only ally faithful
In your times darkest and cruel
Melancholic sound of the piano
a doorway to let the feelings out

One touch of soothing melody
to turn the entire mood sunny
So many words not written
Emanate through the vibrating

From the beautiful nostalgia
To the gooseflesh of metal
It brings out the spirit in
Emotions are its horsemen

Time stops in awe of masterpiece
It feels the way inside your head
Like a bottle of Jack Daniels
The epitome of a high state

Present in all things living
Sound of the silent soul
Some just croon it out
Some keep it till the grave

NIGHTMARE

Twangs of harp strings echoing
In tune with the eerie wolf howling
This night with her hands slithering
Choking the neck of light drearily

Ever expanding guilt of mediocrity
The shattering piece of melody
Then the sudden silence to rob
The moments of paranoia in a jiffy

Demons of my dark laden grapefruit
Pretend to be invisible and faceless
Floor to the confidence chamber
Led to by broken axiom staircase

A famine in the ambiguous river
Makes the humor cry and shiver
I get cold when I hear the scream
There goes the angel of dream

No horror is spared by the devil
Drum roll befriends the torture reel
Wake up is the soul's tormented call
Chains and meat hooks on the prawl

Dying in the wake of winds chill
I saw the crimson lines in hand
They defy me and spelled kill
Hell spawns over the show grand

Weak knees and gait with limp
Despair cloud make the hope blip
When life is your only valid prayer
The dream bleeds into nightmare

(NOT SO)SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

When the dinner is the only
Friend in a hostile day
When the fight for identity
Gets lost to bread's necessity

The mirage also not perfect
In their desert's dry oasis
They fight tooth and nails
Just to lose their coat of arms

The tracks a symbol of path
Of constant degradation
Path with no promise of a destination
For the children born in trash
Life is the biggest tyranny

Smiles their meager makeups
Covers up the hardened wrinkles
Surrogate child of destiny
Luck is their unfaithful spouse

Dreams abnegated in chase of survival
Every man for self the life motto
Poverty a term in eyes of rich
Way of life for people down below

This ain't no fairy rabbit hole
No mad hatter to help alice roll
Vicious traps decorate the interior
Death come fast heal the warrior

Mera Naam Joker

Days drag on for beggar of love
Slapstick humor the money shove
Beneath the mask of spurious smile
Lies an empty pair of sad eyes

Kosher art ready as the curtains rise
Makeup to make the smile wide
Life's earning but spirit callous
Luck so hard on the ingenuous

Deceiving looks phrase personified
The personal misery a comedy defined
People see the layers opaque
Glee so real such a sublime fake

Laughter their one and only end game
Till grave with tombstone as a smiley
Giving your child a lively evening
Life that leads as a happy mourning

Jesters they are in the sea of grims
Pity care love and some respect rare
Because beneath all the whitened pearl
Its the eyes that need the caring

CLASSROOM THOUGHTS

Chalk keeps running on black board
While mind buzzes in blindfold
Sun and cloud are friends here
Call us outside, the room is cold

Came here young and unmoulded
Start was anxious/fun rolled up
Lessons of life not easy to learn
All I knew the journey should be fun

Friend circle big as the solar sysytem
Saw it shrink beyond comprehension
Why does it have to happen so fast
Future only matters when you bury past

Peer pressure never one of my forte
Conscience boat swam across the seclusion
Times are there when the known faces
Become unknown convulted repulsion

Tried the boat of passion at times
Selling yourself hard for ego so bright
Break the stupid rules of mind
Have to shout so world knows right

Journey has been unexpected and sly
Several gems collected in the flight
No idea if this time will ever come
When clocks are slow and no bubble burst

Memories earned to change the low to high
Everything an afterglow when end is nigh
Think I did well enough to survive
Destination unknown but journey a must try

COURAGE THE COWARDLY POEM!

Acoustic guitar gently soars
Mingled with wind roars
The day needs to be perfect
Omitting the rain pelt

Out of the sunrays
Come out the melt
Will the day be cursed
As the mind project

Fear not the right key
To yield the lock
The gaping hole of fail
Turns the wrist pale

So what is the way
When the lights conk out
Hang with all the vigor
Conquer the nasty river

Conditions may trick you
The leaves dry even in dew
But the aid will come
Will come from within you

The world does not matter
Way too far in desert
Hold your own hand
For that is the only friend

Left alone one is never
God made all the same
So dont you lift the gun
Know your call and run

The corner is round here
Back from the dead
Pounce back you mortal
The world is yours

Unknown edge is nervous
Steps make it bold
So take what's yours
And then rule the shores

CARNAL

Sitting atop the flighty stairs
Hands soothing ends of your hair
You declare the eternal love
Mind wants the lovemaking fare

Pink walls of your room glare
Love buzz makes us dare
Time to tame the soul's thirst
Hands down or heads up

Lost in the lucent eyes
I'm caught in your spell
All the scars are healed
When your lips tread a mind sealed

The fall is young tonight
We rise feeling the lusty vibe
Close your eyes with a kiss
Dreams were never this slick

Plans are made all iffy
Promises weren't so shaky
Tell me your secret
Minds lie but hearts see

Don't you worry my love
Won't leave you untended shrub
Will take the walk together
Cliched but happily ever after

ENNUI

These days like a mono note
The city walls don't roll
Empty mind asks the order
But what's there to do

Routine as cold as snow
Sleep,eat oh you disgrace
Claustrophobic my room
Even the sloth is dizzy

No friends in the city
Lovemaking the desert rain
Keep the ride going
Just to find the sweet pain

Empty walls stare at you
Mocking the existence
Actions are required
To make the words listen

The phone keeps ringing
No one is around
Boredom ate you
Even the glutton gave up

Head is heavy goo
Still nothing to do
Wanna be the one
Do something or run.

CAVE TRIP

Walking in the cave
Objects subside
The nimble light
Keeps moving on

Red ink of my pen
Envelops the page
That single poison
Kiss, it makes me daze

Snow beneath crumbles
Whiskey in jar tumbles
Finicky light moves
bursts into patterns

Hear the trumpet blowing
New ME is emerging
Rising from the
Cauldron of hate

Urge for my lady
Keeps getting strong
Get sober first
the mind reminds

Too many words
pages are short
Coherent swings in mood
But light still moves

Now mind is calm
For that one last
Shot of free fall
Light, she leaves appalled.
