Burlesque

Disguising the constraints into liberty
He walks through the deep woods
With broken hands of navigation
Leaving no footprint for a return
Giving in to the whims of time
Runs and runs and runs
Untill the voices from the veins
Sing the burlesque has he evolved into

Vagrant Shall Reach Thy Threshold

Scores of clouds migrating
A clear sky summons the stars
Seems as if they are hiking all over
Yet not the moon blushing

Aroma of lights in varied colours
Do not invade all the thresholds
Joy is still a vagrant
Light like a refugee absconds

O kind hands! Help the vagrant reach
Where the wandering light is at bay

Not Again, Please!

And who seeks animosity
O miserable folks!
Don’t you smell the yells
Of the parched throats
Dichotomized earth with walls of hierarchies
Eyes of the windows blindfolded
Swelling hunger overshadowing the lives
Callously causing numberless casualties
And you are accumulating weapons
Seemingly preparing a war

A Reverie

And he gets to be his own assassin
Rupturing and reaping into many realms
An unairy entity of many calendars
Now under the urge of being unchristened
Victim acting to be an accomplice in devilry
Escorting his own funeral to the ground
Hastily cremates all the passions
On the tombstone for an epitaph
Rummaging the thesaurus
In quest of words
Scribbling a befitting phrase is still a reverie

A Bard

Listening to the noise of silence
A bard darted his subtle fingers
Drawing figments from the cracked canvas
Of disrupted dilapidated cognitive anatomy
Amputated moorings overtook the terrain
Doing the unprecedented acrobatics
Amid the double margins
Bowels of patience being torn and thrashed
‘This dying existence be stopped’
Introspected the bard
A decision stands to be taken
A choice to be made
Between medicine of modernity
And the music of eternity
Not confused was bard like the Frost’s traveller
With ease did he choose the music
Now he sights the horizon
Barefoot walking down along the echoing streams
Piping his songs

A New Normalcy

Waking to the birth of darkness
Melancholic drums beating their chests
Eyes of sleep swollen bloody red
Predators now outnumber the preys
Pillow cotton blowing in the air
Screams unwanted assaults
Caused deprivation is new normalcy
Crucifixed into the peg of curfew
Life hangs sans life
Pouring acid on the petals
They expect them grow into fragrant roses
All the cracks plastered
And how can light saunter into

Pyramid

This not so pleasant to see pyramid
Sings the unsung tales
Of mummies made of his wishes
Crumpled and crushed and killed and walled

Be aware O, man!
Pharaoh of impassioned seekings
May not revive and reign over
Be not a Faustus sold to Mephistophelus

“Unrich, unfamous, unacclaimed”
How it unsettles you O, man?
Do you not breath peace
In smiling of leaves in Spring

The parched land shall have the morning shower of rain
And who said the seeds of life will not shine

Blank Verse

In a constant quest of a hideout
To dump this existence into
And wipe the word ‘life’
And a silence to steal
And the violence to repeal
A tip dawned upon
A refuge was shown

‘BLANK VERSE’
Hide behind it!

Words from floor to the ceiling
The walls smeared all over
With a tinge of pale red
A blank verse I wrote not yet
Is a home in the making

Why Art Thou Wierd

O my pedagogical muse!
Do a blessing upon
Why are words so wierd
Why are they double-edged
Lies they lay
Truth they tear
Always they shout
Always!

A wish I seek
To teach the rebels
How to whisper and not to shout
For when they yell
An innocence they quell

A wish I seek
To teach the rebels
How to unrhyme and not to whine
For when they yell
An innocence they quell

It’s Not Netflix

In the soily courtyard yellowish pale
Why autumn is stubbornly unmoving
Collage of beatific moments
Shedding all the beads
Why doesn’t somebody disrupt this symmetry?

O beloved nature! Haven’t thou promised a spring?
Trails of tears across the wheaty terrain
Those lamentations
And sobbing breaths
Hushed up screams
It’s not Netflix
ITS NOT NETFLIX!
