...to endure...

(On hearing a voice from the past, like a long lost symphony, playing in my head)

To relinquish anger,

To force it down your throat,

As it burns its way through.

To endure pain,

The unseen, from the inside,

When ur mind fails,

And your heart burns in vain.

To bite down on the sorrow,

The ghost of it, the signs you still bear,

Unhealed, unhealing.

To this pain, i am unyielding.

To burn down and rise from the ashes

In our true skin, unhurt,

Yet wounded....

Fresh, new…

To endure life again,

To endure...

The Re return

Hello every one.... its been a long time since my last visit here. Due to many reasoons i havnt been able to keep up with writing and composing due to work commitments.
  Today i was sitting outside on the Hospital katta and it was drizzling, the weather so beautiful has urged me to type in the feelings unsaid.... 

Evening shades of gray

Walking down the alley,

With shadows creeping towards you,

You dont know why you are here,

you dont know, where u,ve ended up is..

Shallow breaths, and every step

Is heavier than before,

You have found out the hard way,

You dont know what you've become.....

And out in the open, I can see

No sky or a silver lining,

I can feel the cold

And the anguish of the sun.

I feel, the wheels are in motion,

As my fate lets me know,

In the evening shades of gray,

I have become…… so unnatural.

Oh Spirit. Awaken...

Rise from the dead,

The Sun has spoken,

His final words to me,

Make sense.

Something that was lost,

Something, deep inside, hidden,

Something, I thought was dead,

Something has to arouse, awaken.

The eyes wide open,

Reflecting a dark horizon,

Searching for a spark,

Searching now, forever

To end this instability,

And bring peace.

Oh spirit,

Rise now, and meet me halfway,

My quest has just begun.

Rise, from the dead,

Awaken!

The way we depart...

A sword of lightening,

Disturbing the clouds of thunder,

Their ranks are breaking…

A sound of metal,

Cracking of the armor,

The will lies shattered, broken …

And still we try,

We still have enough power,

To face this scuffle…

We still care for,

We still stand for the hour,

Before the fallen…

All eyes rest upon us now,

They shed the tears.

So many have sacrificed their fears,

And their remains lie here.

Tears fall like fiery acid rain,

Should we fall, and life parts,

They will remember us, not by the failures in our past,

But The way we depart…

You Poked Me!!!

(dedicated to all the fB pokersJJJ enjoy)

I was sleeping.

Dreaming, unavailable,

A world of my own,

A world without worries…

So many people there,

I was there, invisible,

 I was at peace,

Yes, I was happy…

Soaring over the crowd,

No one knew by whereabouts…

And then you poked me,

Poked me till it all disappeared,

Struggling,

I awoke with a startle.

And u laughed at me,

Like it was a funny thing that happened,

I was just getting away,

When you poked me….

Everything changes,

When you get poked.

Its wasn’t just once or twice,

Many many times, you get choked…

A dozen tiny fingers,

Making constant dents on your mind..

So many holes there

I wish I was a porcupine…

And then u poked me,

And said,’its nothing personal’

Struggling,

I awoke with a startle.

And u laughed at me,

Like it was a funny thing that happened,

I was just getting away,

When you poked me….

Depth of Darkness…

 The unknown, filling up the void,

Pain, as two twisters collide,

Sorrow, feeding off the soul,

Energy, the Life force,

Fading, dying…

Darkness prevails now.

Darkness overpowering,

Self sustaining …
