An errand..

25/1/2010, Monday...

In a shivering cold night,
with the moon shining bright,
my shadow started pulling away from me..
Along with it, I was dragged..
I tried hard to catch up,
but the pace was just too fast
and I didn’t have it in me to last..

I looked at my shadow,
but it didn’t look back at me
and I kept looking at it,
all along the transit.
Swathed in some tears and some sweat,
I was running out of breath..

A dusky dawn came with a dagger
and bludgeoned the shadow,
with that hallowed ‘serene’ swagger.

I collapsed then and there.
As I lay in a pool of ‘comfortably soft’ marshy mud,
my heart stopped beating the leftover blood.

Some sages picked up my carcass
and arranged for my funeral..
The pyre was ready
and so was the fire..
After the firework started,
the sages departed.

Along came another shivering cold night,
With the moon shining bright..
My shadow was still there,
and with an air of panache,
it watched the firework in that ‘fair’.

The rising dark of the night,
intoxicated my shadow
and on it went, meandering in the meadow..
That ‘cold air’ of panache, started flowing,
engulfing the glowing pyre
and stabbing the growing fire.

On came another dusky dawn
and on came the sages.

My corpse was still there.

The west wind came and brought with it,
a few blank pages.
The wisest of the sages,
read the mystery of those blank pages.
Pointing towards my corpse that lain,
he said,
" he’ll breathe once again.. "
.

.
I’ll breathe once again…

An inanimate animation...

20/1/2010, Wednesday...

In a well ventilated room,
a soul hyperventilated..
Shadows of the past were dark..
No hue in some..
and some were bloodily stark..

A naked wire hung from a nail..
The nail was frail
and the wire had started to stale.
A mellow spider was there..
with some legs resting on a blank paper..
and some on a paper-man,
cut out with a rusted pair of scissors..
A few words were inked,
on this inanimate man form,
that read : Rider on the storm..

Time, after a beguiling pause,
started ticking, for an impending cause..
On that eight legged mortal..
the tickings started to chortle..

A few white-wash flakes,
came crashing to the floor
and disturbed that ever lasting silenced roar..
Some flakes crashed onto the spider
and slaked their thirst,
with the life of that storm rider..
with the life of that storm rider..

Just a puerile scrounge...

If you looked at me and smiled..
and if i did the same..
If you sang a litany of problems to me..
and if i did the same..
If the stigmata of 'something' was too deep..
'something' that made those litanies look cheap..
'something' that made you and me weep..

An eleventh finger to wipe my tears..
and an eleventh finger to wipe yours..
A "Juan Mann" for you to hug..
and a "Juan Mann" for me too..
A shoulder for you to rest..
and a place for my head too..

If....
If that 'something' made us crooning cronies..
If that 'something' was friendship..
and if you and me were friends..
The world, with all the mundane space,
would've been a better place,
to live in..
and an even better place,
to die for...

An inundated drought...

6/1/2010, Wednesday...

On a seething street of an old city..
a lonely heart, subsisting on his levity..
walked through the gregarious crowd..
with his inside, draped in a shroud..

Illuminated by the brightest sunshine,
and embellished with phony looks..
All the chapters of that book..
were printed in black..
All the strings of that guitar..
were temporally slack..

A thousand eyes he looked into..
A thousand eyes looked into his..
Those iridescent glances, in the human fair..
ended up as an insipid affair..

With some blots on his soul,
a consciousness, with some unpaid toll
and, with a phlegmatic demeanour,
of a forlorn lunatic,
that desultory heart - dark and stark..
left without leaving any mark..
.......without leaving any mark......

Tacit Tenaciousness...

1/1/2010, Friday...

Around a decade ago,
In a corner of my heart,
something started ticking with a low frequency.
While some brushed it off as a contingency,
some called it as a juvenile delinquency..

The pedagogues couldn't correct me,
the expoundings never worked
and the chastenings got chucked.
But somewhere on the outside of my inside,
the spectre of 'utopia' grew heavy
and engulfed me into its frigid sodden exhaustions
and i started walking to the tunes,
of some unknown piper's illusionary notions..

The 'tickings' inside my heart went on,
and the frequency kept decreasing.
I was running out of batteries,
but still kept buying those insidious lotteries..

The 'radiant' grocery stores sell them still,
but i've stopped splashing my leftover cash..

Around a decade ago,
In a corner of my heart,
something started ticking with a low frequency.
While some brushed it off as a contingency,
some called it as a juvenile delinquency..
I didn't get it back then,
and let it flow with the stream.
But now i know what it was,
and i can smell the sublime steam,
emanating from my dream.
It was my dream..
............my dream...

The Anodyne...

11/12/2009, Friday...

The changelings are having their say..
& I feel the cauldron overflowing.
The certified certitude seems charade..
and the chagrined catarrh overthrows the conscience, this night.

This night, the 'beau monde' might beatify me..
This night, the 'beau monde' might canonize me..
and then, they might cauterize me... this night.

This night, the ready reckoner might beckon..
towards the light of a magical beacon.
This night, could be the night when my soul transcends..
this schismatic space and time.
This night might adjudicate..
This night, could be the night,
the night when my life ends..
This night, could well be my anodyne....

A glory hunting twat...!!

Please give a cursory look to my previous post before reading this.

When i woke up today and switched on my computer to listen to some music, i had no intention of posting something over here. But i found something very amusing posted on one of the discussion forums (something that i wrote sometime back was being claimed by someone else.. plagiaristic publicity..!! ) of a coaching institute that goes by the name - T.I.M.E. This discussion forum was meant to discuss the CAT exam that started yesterday. Here's a link to that page that am talking about - http://www.time4education.com/talktime/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=999273683&whichpage=3

And just in case if 'someone' deletes that post from this page, i am copying the pertinent matter of that page and pasting it over here.

my cat experience:

there was no connectivity at my center but we were made 2 sit there with sheets and pencils... and there were no chicks 2 checkout... so i wrote a few lines...it was smthing like this...

When your thoughts are skew..

and the words are few..

When the CAT keeps haunting you..

and black is your hue..

Don't let your head rue..

go and sue..all that, that forced you in lieu..

go and stew..

all that, that made your thoughts go askew..

All that i wrote may or may not be true..

but since, i had words that were few..

i tried not, not to try something new..

i wrote this bcoz i thought may b i can bring this thread 2 some use..as the MODS here don permit 2 write what matters 2 people...

Since he had no chicks to checkout, he wrote these lines, he CLAIMS...!! A very preposterous reason to write something like that.. no ?? And his nickname is 'nomorearookie', that too is something very grotesque ! When i first read his post over there, as i was still in sleeping mode, i didn't realise what i just read. But then in another moment it struck me "abe ye to maine hi likha tha.." haha... Now, the title to this post is a phrase that i heard in a youtube video somedays back, and it really amused me, though it's a slang. I don't even know whether this 'someone' deserves it or not...!!
