Kohled eyes

It's hard not to get lost in its depths,

Never drowning though,

'Cause you hold me back,

Whenever I wander,

Even time slips into oblivion,

When you don't blink your kohled eyes.

Nope its not love

There’s something, you know, that pulls me towards her.
I mean something intoxicating in her eyes,
In the corner of her smile
In her walking past me in hurried steps,
Well, I never stop noticing her
Though I’m sure she doesn't notice my existence

Her hair, her voice, her name, everything,
Just anything to do with her pulls me towards her,
Well, you must see her hair, definitely adorable,
What you would call cute and I attractive.
And despite my love for you,
I can’t take my eyes off her

And when she wanders round the city in search of her passion,
I wander round her thoughts, in search of mine.

Dare


If you can leave the cosy walls of your father’s pride
Then dare love me.
If you can let go all flowery thoughts of a cosy future
Then dare love me.
I promise you nothing but love
Which, of course can’t substitute food,
But can fill your stomach
So think, think twice before you step any forward
Think before you put your foot down,
Because turning back means death
As life is only here, others are anyway dead

Unscathed


Unscathed




She used to sing at parties where
Potbellied men with some gold clad women
Sat clueless, staring at her and her glaring tattoo
One that Ishaan had done on her
With a humongous needle on her left arm
To teach her a lesson



She was at one such party when
A guy with a goatee
Approached her with a drink and said
“I can give you back your life”
Life; That’s the word she hadn’t heard
For quite sometime now



She didn’t know that Ishaan was around
Watching her when she left the hotel
With the guy and returned home late
After some real life on the bed
Unlike the ones Ishaan preferred



 She came back to see him furious
Trying to bring out the devil she knew in him
Then came the hot needle. Her screams followed
Then the fumes and the blood
It read “Live the life I want you to”



Those men and women still stare at her tattoo
That’s what people think, tattoo it is
She keeps singing without even
Noticing their eyes on what she lost



She sings on the song of life
From her soul, the soul
The needle couldn’t touch
And Ishaan couldn’t scar

Envisages...


Envisages of an idle mind






My castle crumbles; ones built in the air, 

I look in daze at the endless sky.

The earth remains just an delusion, 

My dreams, like a canoe lost in its vastness.

Just my imaginations linger... 

None gave way to my desires,

None got lured by its charm ,

Only I, who keeps treading the fire,

Only I, who ends burning on it.

the LAST gift






Not much though

Just a token.

Of what I know not



Hold it, caress it,

Love it, keep it.

For what I know not



Tiny dreams

Big ambitions

High hope

Low luck


Come, see me

Goodbye, don’t leave me

Take my last gift

And tell the world

“Let me live my life

I can see it through.”
