TOGETHER...




Clouds shift apart..
The sun unmasks..
Lullaby of the wind
Puts to rest
A mischievous downpour...
Beats resume
Last few drops
Dripping from the leaf..
Two broken pine fruits
Carried by the wind
Detached into isolation
Finds togetherness again...
A few lonely drops
Split up to give
A million colours
A million dreams...
'Coz just far ahead
Two lovers walk
Hearts drenched together
Hand in hand....

THE LOST COLOUR



Can you feel her tears dripping from the sky?
Her blood oozing out from the split rubber tree.
Her voice crying out through the shrill bamboo slits
As our axe hacks away her petite limbs.

Her satin hair torn out from its roots
Our hands stinking and reeking of her gore.
The crushed white lily sinking down below
As we rape her again and again and again.

And with every drop of blood that spills out of her
We pick up the red ruby that crystallises below.
The silence in the graveyard hums her ode
As the winding road takes us back in circles.

The artist completes his final brushstroke
On the withered remains of “the last leaf”.
The moonlit night still casts a spell below
But the only thing that shines is lifeless steel.

The wind horse strikes sparks on the concrete floors
As tears of metal condense on our cheeks.
Lost childhood cries somewhere inside, unheard
Unaware that the Pied piper plays no more.

Edifices grow up like towering giants
As the bond of love gets buried deeper below.
Everything green outside dissolves
Like a parasite within, green envy thrives .

…But there right beneath the dark steel concrete
A long forgotten seed germinates to life…..

Senses





















I have seen her love
Through the eyes of the mother rabbit
Nurturing and fondling her young bunnies.
I have seen her hatred
Through the temper of the raging forest fire
That reduces vibrant life to dull, grey ashes.

I have smelt her fragrance
Rising from the earth
After a brief spell of summer showers.
I have smelt her putridness
In the flesh of a young doe
Being torn to pieces under a tiger’s claw..

I have heard her music
Played on the flute of the wind
Blowing through the crevices of the hanging pine fruit.
I have heard her silence
On a moonless night, walking down the path
That meanders through the country graveyard.

I have tasted her sweetness
In the golden dew of dawn
That breaks the slumber of the sleepy sunflowers.
I have tasted her bitterness
In the stream of the bloody white sap
Running down the bark of a tapped rubber tree.

I have felt her passion
In the sinews of the galloping stallion
Overcoming miles to reach green pastures.
I have felt her anger
In the breath of the brewing storm
Playing a game of dice with humanity.

I have seen her.
I have smelt her.
I have heard her.
I have tasted her.
I have felt her.
And yet she remains the enigma she was….

HELLO WORLD!!...


HELLO WORLD!!!..
Well here's it finally...blogging again after quite a time...
But why "footprints on the sand?"...
Because events in our life are just like that...footprints on the sand...some of those memories stay on forever while others get washed away by the sea of time leaving way for some new footprints to be formed...
So here's it all...my personal beach...where i can safely treasure all those footprints and share them with the world before they dissolve into the daily rigmarole of life...
...Coz the journey of life is all about reliving those special moments..
..Cheers!
