Wait No More O Princess

Never mind, o lover-
O the one who waits;
The ferry is half way through-
Even the boatman needs to rest.
She waits for a prince,
Who would sail across;
A storm is razing-
And the end is always too far.

So many did try,
None were so worthy;
Or is it not about a Prince-
Its about her being finicky.

She is aware of the one,
The true worthy;
But her lust for a better one-
Is what kept her aloof.

Someday, he will be tired,
Tired of waiting for so long;
He will fly away with the West Wind-
And he won't even look back,
 not even once.

There will be a new beginning,
But not for the Princess;
She will be sitting, waiting-
Waiting for someone.

When she would miss him,
He will be long gone;
When her heart will melt-
His will have place for none.

She will weep for him,
And he will make merry;
She will bear the burden of life-
But he will live happily ever after.

MY   DEAR

I remember that day,

The day after the board exam's end.

Till then I never knew,

That within an hour we are going to be very good friends.

When you first smiled at me,

It made my day.

When you first mocked me,

It is a feeling I am unable to say.

Your heart is pure,

But you are pretty naughty.

And I am pretty sure,

You are an art of beauty.

You are caring,

You are sharing;

You are daring,

And that's why you are never boring.

Never cheat me,

I really owe you a lot.

Dear you are born free-

And your picture in my heart is forever caught.

Déjà vu or reality

When I first saw her,

She was smiling

Under the tree

In the shaded yellow street light.

Her face was camouflaged,

Her beauty was shadowed;

Her hair flowed down her shoulder-

Her eyes made me wonder.

I wondered till I next met her,

Was she real or my imagination.

A déjà vu of my dreams-

Or was she my invention.

But all of it was real,

As was she.

But I was in my dreams,

And I never made my plea.

I dared the world,

So did she;

I did like her,

But her, I could never infer.

Regularly did we meet,

Memories were made;

I lived in my dreams-

And she still lived in shade.

People tried to buy her,

I tried to borrow;

They used money and

I used sorrow.

In the end,

Everybody wants the same.

It is my mistake,

I didn't clear my stake.

My intentions are pure,

So is hers;

Purity rarely wins-

Good and evil are twins.

I could never approach,

Never will she;

Fear of losing her

Puts me in a back gear.

She did influence me,

So did a lot many;

But this time it was for real-

But who did ever know.

Pats in the back,

Splashes of water;

Quite a quarrel-

A bike ride and a flower.

"Do you trust me?"

And the dinner is served;

Half of this and half of that-

And I am always glad.

Frequent long walks,

Once a while an outing;

A messy day or two-

A lot of meaningless shouting.

Days passed by,

Months did follow;

No one did notice-

The true sacrifice.

Love or hate,

Nothing's on my fate;

Truth or lie-

Feelings never die.

What dies is the friendship,

What lives is ego;

If we ever fall in love,

I promise I will never let you go.

I won't stop

Tons of messages.

No reply.

Tensed.

Avoided.

Dusty streets,

Blazing sun;

Sweaty palms-

Dreams lost.

Angry?

But sad.

Obsession,

Redemption.

All at once,

No one to care;

No one to applaud-

The winner lonely,

Solely responsible

For what?

God knows,

Is he real?

Doubts circling,

Grief- Albatross.

Matter- micro,

Reaction- heavenly.

Change! Change!

O mighty warrior.

Changed?

For what?

Confused soul-

Not mine.

Rise and Shine-

O Divine!

Hate me not,

Nor do forget.

One last chance-

Life is one--

            I won't stop.

BSOD

I saw her,

The blue screen of death.

Fair skin,

Scarred face.

Not the usual scars-

Hard to understand.

Empty look-

Searching for purpose.

My heart rebooted,

Though it is preoccupied-

A surge of current,

But for a short while.

Face is forgotten,

So is she;

But all I remember is

She was the BSOD.

Time, is it?

A window,

Sitting alone;

What is real?

What is fake?

Is it only 'for sake'?

Or is it just a dream.

Am I the only deserted?

Everything is colorful.

I am black.

Surrounding dark.

No silver lining.

Heaven's hell.

Truths are lies.

Good is evil.

Words are sarcastic.

Crush is crushed.

Cursed is the time.

Universe is smoky.

Abandoned is the soul.

Abstract is the moment.

Thoughts are impregnable.

A piece of laughter.

Kind hearts, broken.

Solemn oaths smashed.

Friends on the brink.

Were they really?

Or was I asleep?

Time, is it?

Change is must.

Mistakes- unforgivable.

Unnoticed is the reality.

Unannounced is trust.

Unforgettable memories.

Unforgivable aesthetics.

What to do?

Just enjoy the show.

A tragedy.

Unwanted despise.

Silly! Silly! Silly!

Moments pass by.

So do I.

So do I.

True is my word,

weird is my imagination;

truth be behold-

beyond all suspicion.

life is not easy,

And the path is too narrow;

if someday I can pass through-

it would be the last of my sorrow.

Stardust

Hey you!

I see you everyday;

In reality-

And in my dreams.

You are a naturalist,

And a part of my fantasy;

You are aesthetic-

And a reason for my ecstasy.

Day and night,

Dusk and dawn;

I dream of you-

And you are my Mute Swan.

But you never care,

Nor do you worry;

Have you some time to spare?

Ooops! I am sorry.

I am courageous,

But you make me a coward;

Watching you pass by everyday-

Makes me bewildered.

Once a while

You smile at me,

You throw me a "Hi"-

And I reply with glee.

Nature has its way,

God has his will;

Rainy eve and she was there

Sitting alone, feeling the chill.

I approached her,

She was startled;

Then she recognized-

And then she stumbled.

I caught her,

Held her in my arms;

She was half drenched-

And I was mesmerized by her charm.

We walked together,

Under my umbrella blue;

I kept my arm over her-

The sudden warmth acted as the glue.

That day,

Changed my life;

Though we are only friends-

But someday soon she'll be my wife.

But I could never tell her,

The magical three words;

Hey! I love you!

Oh you, who is made of stardust.

I WISH

I wish I would never dream,

I wish I would never lie,

I wish her to be true-

I wish, after each of my dreams, she won't die.

I wish my dreams come true,

I wish I had the time to do everything nice;

I wish I could excel in whatsoever-

I wish I would never live a life of lies.

I wish I would never fear the dark,

I wish I would never feel the pain;

I wish I would never lose in the game of life-

I wish my life won't go in vain.

I wish my friends won't betray me,

I wish I never had to scream;

I wish the world would be all good-

But wishes rarely come true,

                                 Wishes come true only in a dream.

Dark and Darker

Dark is the thought,

Darker is the imagination;

Crazy is what we do-

Crazier is the retribution.

Lonely is the heart,

Lonelier is the soul;

Stupid is our decision-

Stupider is the parole.

Hard is the knowledge,

Harder is the understanding;

Belief is the savior-

Believer is the daring.

Lovely is the nature,

Lovelier is its creation;

Pretty is Love-

Prettier is the determination.

Costly is the materialistic world,

Costlier is the desire;

Clumsy is the outlook-

Clumsier is the behavior.

Near is the beautiful day,

Nearer is the end;

Sharp is destiny, but

Sharper is the bend.

Strong is the weak, and

Stronger is his will;

Smooth is his goal, but

Smoother is his skill.

Someday the weak will win,

And other days he will learn;

Beauty is in thoughts, not in looks

Only he can discern.

Searching for an Angel,

Trying to steal a glimpse or two;

Waiting for a miracle,

Speechless, without a clue.

Silence of the eyes,

Forgetting what is true;

The moment you despise-

Wonders happen out of the Blue.

       YOUR EYES

I always had a dream,
a dream full of fairies ;

I never knew,
that one of them was really you.

I don't know

How I found you

But all I remember

Are those eyes, and true

They were magnificent

Worthy of praise

Priceless I meant

That was your gaze

But whom were you searching?

I knew it wasn't me.

I am not the prince charming,

And I never held the key.

But I never forgot your eyes,

Or the strength in it;

Reality or a dream,

But I could never do it.

I could never hold you,

Or feel you in my arms;

Because you were my dream,

And dreams are never true;

But I never knew,

What to do?

Or how to say,

I LOVE YOU.

THE   BIRTHDAY  P ARTY

15th  Oct, 2012

The poetic strings,

And all the wonderful things;

The night so young-

And the song that is never sung.

The group of Eight Crazy Friends,

A funny night, all prayed, never ends;

A Hangout with Hangover,

A Sleepless night and a Sleepover.

The Eight received the "Blender's Pride",

They exchanged their "Signature";

The smoke that rose, not from all-

Ended with a pre dawn stroll.

It was the "Beatles" to start the night,

"AcDc" was the one to follow;

When "Pink Floyd" reached the crazy ears-

The friends forgot their troubles and sorrow.

It was a night never foretold,

It was a night never alike;

Summer or winter, hot or cold-

Nothing can challenge the wet ride on the bike.

Oh! And that was the day,

It was our beloved Abhikshit's Birthday;

Hope I didn't miss a single Minority report-

Everybody whoever sees this, but I am sorry to say;

You won't feel the same way-

How they felt, "THE CRAZY EIGHT".
