A walk to remember

Among the crowd of tenuous illusions

She strutted in trance, all consumed

Not like a mermaid celebrating waves

But a restless dream that just loomed

No rhythm could move her frigid soul

No altercation could stir her silence

Nothing could disturb her rigid veil

An immaculate pretence of impudence

In one of those lonely walks, she tripped

Stumbled on some fantasy, beyond reach

Suddenly those stains were so obvious

And the revelations continued to besiege

A stroll along with her captive fallacy

Solace lapping their ankles in deluded sea

Gazing through opaque walls of fabrications

Secrets flowing like a fountain on a spree

It was an encounter with dream so ominous

A reverie that eased her restless brain

Hand in hand, a walk with evanescent

So much of peace, and so much of pain

Amidst the circle of assumptions and realm

She just walked through the mirage of satiety

Transformed, so bare, an absolute new soul

A walk to remember, a treasure with a lost key

Yet again a solitary gait to anonymous purpose

She shall walk with rehabilitated fantasies

That particular walk with her detained desires;

Granted enough stars to illuminate her journey

A letter to my butterfly

Dear butterfly..

I see you soaring high every day

Yet I am puzzled, if you actually fly

I can sense desperate flutters of your wing

And I know the rules you try to abide by

My butterfly, you are ravishing

A brazen beauty with soul so raw

A divine being, so loved by nature

A picturesque angel with none a flaw

Then why do I see you in the hidings

Why do you crawl with shrunken wings

Helpless stares from my window

If only some succor I could bring

Try and decipher my silent screams;

Dear butterfly just pay some heed

One glance at your own aura

Trust me,that’s all  you need

Rise up and see the whole wide sky

Fly my butterfly;hold your head up high

I can identify with the pain you bore

I am aware of the creases of your angst

I can feel the lashes you go through

And I still vision you emerging your best

I understand, nature is ruled by vultures

I can see sky is broken, dark and bleak

An ugly flight of heartless vultures

And my butterfly all frail and weak

A fragile being, so lonely, so hurt

I hope some satiety to you, I could bring

How I long to be there, soothe you

Mend your broken heart, your broken wing

But I dare not reach out, coz I know

My touch will be marred by pain

Soft fragile wings of your hope..

One handclasp with my jinx;

And your wings will be broken again

Don’t reach for me; I am captivated

My razor-sharp fences might scratch your wings

Soak your spirit with new zest, new parkland instead

And you shall see, with renewed buzz you will ring

Don’t hide in seclusions my butterfly

Don’t feign your fear, just face the fright

Your wings will elate ,once you catch new breeze

I know you’ll emerge again, just take that flight


My butterfly,may your wings kiss new dawn
And you find new meadow to alight upon
I wish all the colors,fragrance and beauty for you
Today, tomorrow and way beyond

    Your’s clandestine mate...

Reverie Roses

All pricked and bruised by thorns of realm

I planted crimson roses of my dreams

Seed of my insatiable desires

Sunlight of my wanton cravings

Nurtured by my chaste fantasies

Showered by inner most ravings

My beautiful garden of enigma

My enchanting rose of charisma

Every passing day, I stared longingly

Impatient to see my saplings unravel

Gradually my dreams started sprouting

Flourishing, prospering, petal to petal

Pretty soon I could see my roses bloom

A magnificent spread of artistry

Finally I had my blossom buddy

What an impeccable amigo to be

So inestimable, so precious

That I couldn’t tear myself away

Rising dawn or downing dusk

Nothing could perturb our play

In perfect harmony with my rose

Those moments were there to stay

 Mesmerized and so pleasantly amazed

How my rose blessed me with vibrancy

All those dreams that I have conjured

My rose graced them with vivacity

I could sit and converse for hours

And it would never argue back

I wasn’t forced to fit in pesky frames

With my rose ,I was me, not a fake

Days in days out, I would spend

Just adoring and cherishing my rose

All my pains were nonexistent now

So much happiness it did bestow

My rose, the answer to my prayers

My consuetude, my addiction

All consumed, I was breathing life

So much satiety, so much of perfection

But I forgot, it was a perishable gift

Relentless trials are useless

It is meant to be confiscated

Like my other tattered hopes

This dream too will get culminated

Finally one dark night, autumn fall

And invaded my lovely rose

Prefixed short term camaraderie was over

I was severed from my sweet repose

Radiance was lost

Colors were faded

With each ambling moment

My aide ,my convoy was raided

Again my eyes were dry

Bereft of ferment

My discourses were empty

Bereft of incitement

Glee ripped, smiles torn

Stripped off hopes,left alone

Sitting, staring at void again

As my rose, my reverie was gone…..

Lucid dreams

Its showering heavy

Infinite urge this rain seem to chase

Little drops playing pranks

And pool of tears barred to surface

In pride before your eyes

I will keep these lashes dry

The proofs, the justifications;

Are continuously ignored

Endurance is tested beyond patience

Fatal, lucid dreams are explored

It’s an example of buffoons’ insistence

Of how they keep declining facts

Steady on the journey to endure

The selfless, pristine childlike acts

Razed endeavors;

No matter how much we try

But for pride before your eyes

I will let wry dreams fly

Don’t talk about maturities

That we have in abundance

Heart is placed above brains

Still astuteness is immense

We believe in fake mornings

Ignoring those nasty storms

We shiver in frank cold nights

And dream to keep us warm

On the foundation of trust

We conceive fading dreams

Aware that they wont stay

Amazing illusions 

Perceived in two different ways

One hoping, that they will survive;

They will breath life

Other sure, they are phoenix

Charisma spurned, a mere hype

Still both dare to reverie

Not much to retain, not much to defy

Yet for the pride in your eye

My eyes will stay dry

Some people cant dream

Their history pulls them back

Unending struggle to break free

No place for dreams to stack

Drawn toward the eternity

So keen to be dispersed

Be one with the tranquility of moon

So keen to be discerned

To transcend in someone else

And leave my crawling self

To fly with renewed zest

No baggage on the shelf

But then I do realize

I dont belong to dreams\

As my oasis is all dry

Just for the pride in your eye

Mine will still dream high

And those who think are wise

Here’s a piece of advice

Look beyond your eyes

The dreams that you seek for

Are deemed to dissolve

The illusions that you seek for

Is nothing but deceptions

The convictions that you speak of

Is nothing but confused perceptions

Utopia of enchanting glee

Is nothing but surreal

And the pain in your heart

That is for real

Pause this chase

Break this grind

Give time a time

And you shall find

The realm, that belongs to you

Someone real, someone true

In due time, will summon you

And you will walk;

Walk away,far beyond reach

Leaving all agony behind

In due course of time

Your destiny, you shall find

Till then for the pride in your eye

My eyes will live the lie..........

Silent Confessions

We were where the river ends

Flowing vigorously into the void

We were where the utopia conceived

Streaming through and through

We were the laughter

Echoing the valley of innocence

The mirage, the dream, the cliff
The fantasy, the presence, the absence

If I kept tracing the inevitable

Why should I crib and complain?

One step after another,

Though no firm land beneath

How could we ever have sustained?

Frail attempts where our intentions lie
Numb expressions when emotions cry

Defying our inner voices

Quivering disseminations

Silent confessions.......

Perfecting the charm of a con

Desperate act of a fleecer

Painful labor of concealed thoughts

Debating breadth of an actor

Arguing essence of enlivened dreams

Transitions from fake to actual

Transcend of satiety to frustrations
So staggering yet so stable

Waking dreams or sleeping facts

Ripping all with solemnity acts

Walking through the fog of confusions
Blinded by compassion haze

Turning revelations into a maze

Soft surrender

Denied submissions

Silent confessions........

Impatient oceans,boiling with fury

Swelled with raging eagerness

Waves determined to prove discredits

The unkempt geometry of fierceness

Changing images like distorted emotions

Embracing shapes of the shapeless

Trying to mould the tides in patterns
Relentless efforts to bound the boundless

Aware that the contrary is so obvious

Still small bargains we keep on striking

Treading with mislead conscious
Moments to moments, we keep on ambling

So much for compassion

Silent confession.......

Our dreams are fluorescent

Breathing life only in dark

Our desires like weary bird

Wings on lease,scrawny bark

Lithe frame of faith and trust

Shudders whilst in slumber of deceptions

Belief wiped off our fragile hopes

Attempts to sort out the misconceptions

Skimming and sieving words

Slicing and dicing every sentence

With efforts of a fish wriggling on sand

Learning to breathe,while her life is forsaken

Unprepossessing the prepossessions
Helpless sessions......

Silent confessions......

Act of desguise

When I tried playing an ignorant act

My being opposed reflections of my desires

My resolute broke into thousands of pieces

My soul, betrayed my convictions

The mirror of my conscious screamed, liar!

Now you guide me, what options do I have?

Where will I get strength to face my failures?

When I played as a self-possessed demon

My incarnation shattered before it could conceive

Temptations were far too alluring

Consumed by the poison of mercenary

Theater of pretense, too transparent to perceive

Now you direct me, how to conceal?

Where will I get a mask to cover my frailty?

When I played as an arrogant storm

The calmness of night invaded my fierceness

The serenity of moon was so tranquil

That the veil of fictions disarmed my feat

Calm radiant night mocked feigned turbulence

Now you invigilate and evaluate my negligence

And show me the way to hide my irresoluteness

When I played an act of a cold fiend

Chaste, pristine gestures echoed in my being

Sending countless promises, a pact so perfect

I was pulled back in ever engulfing mirage of dreams

Too enchanting to refuse, too unfeasible to accept

The ballad of deceptions is doing nothing to suffice

Once a proud actor,now can’t perfect an act of disguise

We can put up a show and collect accolades from world

But how are we suppose to deceive our own shadow?

Can perform with aplomb and cater to other's entertainment

But how to disguise ourselves from us, I just don’t know

Deceptions-Dark yet vibrant

You want the dreams transcend in a form?

You want to make miracles obey logics?

Inclinations are beyond rules and barriers

A literature of emotions sans summations and prefix

It’s deceptive, fable unattainable yet so possessed

It’s so deceptive

The rules that we respect, deprive us from glee

The appeal we encrust, break us beyond repair

The pact we tried overlooking stare back at our face

We struggle for smile; they shower us with despair

Its deceptive, pacts of glee bursting with angst

It’s so deceptive

You never get what you yearn, you are left craving

And someone always gives you more than you wanted

This game continues without any rule or restrictions

Pawns bounce back & forth, giving, taking, exhausted

Its deceptive; endeavor to give is a process to rip

It’s so deceptive

To design someone in larger than life statements

To frame the unexpected gift in a chained décor

To test your patience and dream over and again

To try chasing false aspirations, and returning sore

It’s deceptive; illusions conceived in dark yet so radiant

It’s so deceptive

Its wrong

To seek for more than you deserve

Wait with patience, life will take curve
