BLIND - R. I. P.

DUMBNESS is History...
What A PITY this World HAS COME TO BE...
BLINDNESS - The unseen story -
Also Deaf on all EARS, They all Willingly Walked ...
By the Millions till their SILENT UNFORESEEN DOOM!
---

If a BLIND leads all the BLINDS...
and if they all unassumingly trust the one who leads the troop...

They all march into an unseen marsh...
Quick sand others may SHOUT but they are all marching on...

DEAF they are too and BLIND they always were...
Confidence being such an illusion drowned in all the apathy...

Led by a BLIND and their own BLINDNESS making a deadly pair...
They all soon find themselves drowning taken by Surprise...

They are struggling to stay afloat, to live in their last breaths...
Oh! Such a depressing sad story...

But look around and see from the mythological 3rd EYE...
If you are BLIND too then there was never ever an use of those 2 EYES...

Except as a MEDAL in a PEDESTAL called your own FACE...
Let us all FACE it, now OR some other time LATER...

When Life magically has more SPACE and gets us more FREE...
But in reality All those BLINDS once drowning are all now DEAD...

UNSEEN TOMBSTONES MARKING ALL THOSE UNMARKED GRAVES...
Uh! An irony in this very sentence hardly anyone will ever get to SEE...

Who Killed Whom? Who knows & who cares...!!!
With all the apathy, no one saw the killer and no one saw those killed...

But they all did scream in their last precious breaths,
Instead of thinking about their near & dear loved Ones...

Oh Is it...? We didn't hear those screams too because we are all DEAF...
Well, a sad story got more GRUESOME towards the end...

And the one writing these will be forever cursed...
Trying to shake all out of their own COMFORT in-illusion REALITY...

But then BLIND never SEE...
DEAF never HEAR...
And DUMB never SCREAM...

DAMN!...
If I continue to be a combo of all these...
I shall too attain my silent PEACE...
For a DEAD person is the most PEACEFUL of all...

HECK, why was this ever Written...?
BLIND can't see, DEAF can't hear and the DUMB can't speak...

Then why did this ever manifest...?
I will leave that up to YOU...

This shall play its course in your BRAINS...
Very few will get the reason behind these chaotic LINES...
Since most are BLIND, DEAF, DUMB or DEAD...
Even lesser reach their course till the END...

THE END!... (R. I. P.)

Valentine o'13

Valentine o'13

Wanted to be fluid & free like a river,
But was frozen in ice like a glacier...
The cold wintery blizzard is now over,
Summer's spring is here to stay now forever...
Melted within & fluid again I flow,
Reflecting the bright sun's ever-glow.!!!

--xx--

Jab milunga tumse pehli baar anjaani manzil ke ek mod pe,
Toh pehli jalak pe dekhkar paaogi - "Koila hoon mein"...
Kuch pal bitaao saath mere waqt ke ye tede raahon pe,
Aur phir chalte chalte agar palat ke dekhogi toh - "Heera hoon mein!"...

Beautiful Dream

Originally written in Kannada by me, this poem is called [Honganasu].
For those who don't know Kannada to savor the essence of it... Here is my best translation of what it means, in English.

Beautiful Dream

The wishes which were hidden
At the depths of my heart,
I asked them their guarded secret...
They told me the following lines
And there formed a Beautiful Dream.

I want to be your shade when the Sun is utmost bright,
I want to be your moonlight when the night is utmost dark,
I want to be the coolness in your sultry summer heat,
I want to be the warmth in your cold winter chill,
All these I want to be for You,
That is my loving Wish...

I want to be the backbone of your dreams,
I want to be the reflection of your blissful smile,
I want to be the flag charioteer of your success,
I want to be the lover of your life,
All these I want to be for You,
That is my loving wish...

Is this loving wish only a figment of my dream!?
Will that figment ever see the light of reality!?
I am eagerly waiting for one meeting with you,
The eagerness has turned into desperation,
For just... just one glimpse of You.

Come back... why have you disappeared so far away?
The emotions of these lines... at least once listen,
This innocent heart's melodious call for you.
If you are there with me everything is a beautiful reality,
If you are not with me then this is a broken dream.

Come cheerfully laughing into my life
And be the silver lining of my dark cloud,
Come in auspiciously with your best foot forward
And be the brightly lit lantern of my life.
Make this beautiful dream a reality...
Come be the loving partner of my life.

Ash of My Phoenix!

Ash of My Phoenix!

Crashed beyond recognition & completely brunt...
Not an ounce of anything left behind to claim my own...
Ashes... they were all that was left behind as meant...
Voila... those were of Phoenix it came to be known...

Resurrecting the Ash, this Phoenix shall surely FLY...
I shall soon walk again with my Head held HIGH...!!!

A Tribute to MOM - 19Jan2013, 08:30AM

A Tribute to MOM - 19Jan2013, 08:30AM


Every moment I wanted you to be with me near,
In every essence... to me you have been very dear,
Many beautiful dreams, wishes and hopes you had,
Seeing them in reality with me... you were glad.

Then something happened...,

On This Day and Time an year ago,
Helpless I was and I had to let you go,
One last time I Kissed You & said my Final Adieu,
On this day my nightmare came true of Loosing You.

I thought all these years I had grown really strong,
But to let you go was my real test of where I belong.
Maybe to many... I grew up not to be your ideal son,
But Your Son none the less of whom you were proud of as my MOM!

Life & time both moved on,
Lost & alone I went to face
the harsh world head-on,
Keeping you alive in my heart
- you are my epitome of Love,
I continued to walk this path as the
Pristine Son of your Unending Love!!!

Goodbye Mom - I am your essence
and you continue to pervade in Me.
You taught me life and many lessons very important...
the significance of real strength, character & love to Be.

Mother's bosom of Love,
That unending treasure trove,
Selfless & always Caring even now...
I really miss sleeping on her heavenly warm lap
to forget all things sad and take a cozy nap...
    
"Love is an essence in Life which makes it worth living, makes it worth dying".

My Jingle!

World take note - this is my Jingle...

I am a happy single,
Always smiling with a cute dimple,
I am also ready to mingle,
With some princess who is liberal,
And likes to keep it all simple.

If you are really that nimble,
We could make a great couple!

If that's a bit bland for your taste,
Let me add up some romance...

humsa dildar dusra bana nahi.
aazmake toh dekho pachtaogi nahi.
hamare dil se apna dil milake toh dekho,
sargam ke sur mein apna taal milake toh dekho,
bhale chahe laakhon taare ho neele aasman mein,
suraj hoon aur mere samne baki sab andekha hain.

tumko bas apna banaalu - dil ka hain pyara zikar,
magar tum usko todoge bhi toh nahi hai fikar,
rutkar bhi har tukda apne mein rakhta hai dil-o-jaan,
tutkar bhi auron se bada hai har tukde ka azeem-o-shaan.

tumko khush aur salamat rakhne ki hai mujhme himmat,
tumko tumhi se churakar mohobbat karne ka karta hoon jurrat!
agar mere nek adhaon pe hosakogi fida,
toh chahke bhi mujhse bachkar jaaogi kaha!?

Castle of Reality!

Castle of Reality!

Innocent dreams of Life that were presented as real & I prayed for them to be,
Saw them shatter to smithereens for unknown reasons I wouldn't wish to see,
What could I do for I had still miles to walk on the path... hopefully in sanity & serenity,
Hence I built my very own cozy big castle from all those smithereens in my present Reality,
For I am not the one who will wither away to a dark nihilistic destiny!!!
