Passé

The ball has been set to roll,
It might not attain its goal.
The due trail has its own toll;
Embedded by a thwarting mole.

Is myth to be blamed?
The avant-garde are ashamed.
Those who remain unnamed;
And flounder to get tamed.

It was an archaic alliance,
To proliferate their endurance.
Like old and anew converse with cognizance;
To ascertain that passé is per se brilliance!

Parity

To be articulate,
Is what one intends to be.
Most try to inculcate;
But alas! It has no effect on me.

Those insuperable turn of events,
Had made me dwell in the agone.
My composure was filled with dents,
When I discerned I was treated as a pawn.

The dawn which I encountered as a chance,
Helped me realize that I had finally won;
And eventually strike balance,
Between letting go and holding on.

From Within: A Parable

The sense lies in us,

Aren't we all aware?

All around there is a fuss;

Here I come, beware!

Where is the dearth?

Have we forsaken our very soul?

The quest goes on for a ‘justified’ birth;

Hence, uplift ourselves to reach the goal.

The answer lies in our very existence,

Quite intricate to unravel;

Let’s undo whatever is tense,

And entrust our acumen to marvel.

Flavours

Those times were profoundly gifted,

When thou were in my arms.

Consequently our spirits got lifted;

Like the tricks with which an enchanter charms.

It came as a bolt from the blue,

When thou decided it was better to evanesce.

Thy life had lost its hue,

Contradictions forced us to buy peace.

"What do we aspire to be?"

Is of paramount significance.

Let's simplify and unlock the key;

And preserve it with eternal remembrance.

Precedence

The time is suitably ripe,

To set ablaze the pyre.

My eyes are moist which I tend to wipe,

And hope that the consequences are not dire.

“What had gone wrong?”

I ask thyself bewilderedly.

Alas! There was no harmony left in the song;

This compelled me to make amends dissentingly.

Priorities came into forth at an early stage;

Their curious assortment had its own role to play.

With much difficulty I extricate myself from the cage;

To unleash a new ME and eventually call it a day.

Union

The world is at large,
To do things in assortment.
Here are two souls about to merge;
And emerge victorious in their commitment.


Today they embrace in absolute solidarity;
By seeking the blessings of all and sundry.
Their charm lies in their agility,
As they celebrate in revelry.


Let the frivolity and mirth never cease,
And the Almighty supports their unity.
Their eternal bliss is our only wish;
Which shall encompass their longevity.

Brotherhood

The independence of thy nation,
Is utterly endearing for me.
Life is blessed due to Her ration,
For this is the perfect time to see.


In our country's diversity,
There is no dearth.
We, Indians have oodles of tenacity;
Which is prevalent from our birth.


India, our native land;
Is an abode of tranquillity.
We will all walk together hand-in-hand,
And prove our utmost solidarity.

Bonding - An Ode To Friendship

What I feel for you, my confidant;
Is of primary concern.
All my feelings are,
Assembled into one.


The valley is green,
As you know me in and out.
Thou were beside me,
In those troubled times.


Now when I close my eyes,
I see you in the yonder.
But I can sense the proximity,
Because a friend is always there for now and forever !!

Conflict

"Am I happy?" I question with hope,
The reply comes quick "Nope".
It was tough for me to cope;
I looked around for a rope.


Life seemed to be mere;
But at the pinnacle, it was so dear.
Later, I changed gear;
Which took me into the rear.


I had a whirlpool in my mind,
Which helped me to find.
That life was so kind,
And I completely blind.

Departure

I am bidding goodbye,
To the epitome of my soul;
My memories try to tie,
And boggle me down in the hole.


It is time,
To stop the flowing emotions roar;
I order myself to mime,
And stop being a 'bore'.


I am what I am,
Because of what you have made me;
Here's wishing you loads of wham,
And hoping that you will never forget thee.

Love

Love is in the air,
Everyone seems to 'care'.
Is bliss present in the pair?
Not at all, masks they wear.


He is busy on a call,
She prefers a mall.
Both are having a ball,
Unknowingly; they fall.


Then they realize,
That it is not wise;
To pretend to be nice,
And do things beyond one's size.

Mission: Accomplished

I am on a mission,
To eradicate human fission.
It is my sole ambition,
Which has to be achieved in any condition.


I try my best,
To protect the 'nest'.
But due to my haste,
I mistake my effort as a waste.


Later, I found an effective way;
To settle down and pray.
Amazingly, they cease to stray,
And truly; this makes my day !!

Pain

I do not know why,

I only want to cry.

Maybe because I was stabbed on the sly,

Which made my soul dry.

The night was drenched with rain,

When I walked unknowingly into the den.

Later, I was throbbing with pain,

Which made me insane.

I did not have a voice to raise,

Did it go for a 'graze'?

It is impossible to praise,
This memory, which I badly want to erase.
