Little Butterflies

Little Butterflies
so young and tender...
Left alone in the world to wonder..
"You are like me,
and I am like you
But where is my family?"

Little Butterflies
trying to flutter...
The winds are strong
but the wings to delicate
and they shudder...
"Will I get to fly free someday?"

Precious pearls
but sadly fighting alone...
"Will you be the one
to Save my Soul?"

[Few lines dedicated to an orphanage]

Hello!

Passing months, and all the passing days...
Far far away... they all go by...
But, do you have
No time to say “Hello!”?

Riding alone...
Gliding unseen, though the rusty roads...
Blowing winds, beating me...
‘Coz you’re not here to hide behind...
But, do you have
No time to say “Hello!”?

Singing rains, shatters though the glass...
And brings the chill, that flutters the heart...
How far away, your warmth has gone...
But still, do you have
No time to say “Hello!”?

Burning the heat within, silence runs onto the mill...
Lost in work, too far away to watch the behind...
Perturbed, but should we disturb?
Only hopes, will they catch your eye...
And still, do you have
No time to say “Hello!”?


[An attempt at weaving a song]

verse

If only I could write an echo,
asking a shadow to dance...

If only I could share the shade of an old tree,
asking the angels to sing...

and the verse would begin
with a lump in the heart...

tough going

when the going gets tough
and the tough gets going...
just remember
you are not the only one sailing...

life

life's a chance encounter...
the journey of the truth,
rest is of no use...

cry

Underneath the pillow
Lies a heartless story
Only darkness,
as far as the eyes goes
Tormented rains,
beat up the windows
And black clouds,
eat up the only ally

Sometimes such sadness passes us by
And there is no wind for us to dry
And we cry

In the garden
Grows a pair of blue lilies
Sun, too sunny this day,
shines love,
all inside from the marrow
And it leaves some trails
for a beaming landscaper,
And a lullaby...


Sometimes such happiness passes us by
And there is no room for us to hide
And we cry

brave

It's not the one who succeeds every time
is brave...
It is the one
who fails...
but doesn't fails to try again...

shayari - 2

gajab duniya gool yeh kahani bannati hai...
saath hain par ek dusre ki parchayin hain...
ek, din ki roushani meh bhi ghabrata hai...
dusra, andheri raat meh ghulle aam, chain ki need so jatta hain...

for you

few lines from e.e.Cummings, one can't help falling in love with these few words.. expresses what one can't express...

I carry your heart with me...
I carry it in my heart.

I am never without it...
Anywhere I go, you go, my dear...
And whatever is done by only me...
is your doing, my darling.

I fear no fate...
for you are my fate, my sweet.
I want no world, for, beautiful...
you are my world, my true...

Here is the deepest secret no one knows,
Here is the root of the root...
and the bud of the bud...
and the sky of a sky of a tree called life,
which grows higher than the soul can hope,
or the mind can hide...

It is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart...

I carry your heart.
I carry it in my heart.

shayari

after a long time, few lines transpired in hindi...

wafah ki ummed nahi ki humne kabhi...
unhonne toh dagah ka bhi kabhi hak na diya

raah takte rahe hum magar...
unhonne ek nigah ka bhi kabhi hak na diya

royye viraane meh hum bhi kabhi kabhi...
par aansuoun ne bhi girnne ka hak na diya

Dreamer

Born to be a dreamer,
and dreamer thou shall be
wishing for someone,
to show the reality...

Clocked in the dense forest,
and plagued by the sinuous torrents...
thou wait for the real love,
as trees holds the dream-tied gloves...

Born to be a dreamer,
and dreamer thou shall be...
wishing for someone,
to show the reality...

for you lay timeless,
along with the dwarfs...
fast asleep,
in the coffin of glass...

veracitas

veracitas or perfidie,
veiled liaison intervened...
one step here
one step there
vécu vie...
an enamouren fool
beseech mercēs
over fallen moons
veracitas or perfidie,
veiled liaison intervened...

autumn

branches,
stripped clear
leaf by leaf

breezed
by the vile time...

falls...
scintilla, scintilla...
a graceful dance
for the chrome salmon painted grounds...

kisses it, at last!
and
dies a silent death...
its hope stripped
part by part...

still,
lying peacefully...
waiting to be brushed aside
giving hope,
that a new life would start...

till then,
paint a golden picture
my dear leaves!
for sooner,
the virgin drops would fall...

ennoble?

nobility and vogue
care not go in one...
for one brings day
and lesser,
the doom...

behind all flashy smiles
lies calculated sums...

perhaps it might...
but
i am yet to find
a heart
pure as sun...

glass

Watching though the glass...
trying to forget the past...

winters remind me
of your warmth...

rains slaps me...
showing our lost dance

falling leaves
laughs and curses
me to oblivion...

summers reminds
of the long waiting nights...

why isn’t it easy!

looking out of the window
am moon again
remembering you
breaking my heart...

S-o-phillic Shipshape Sunshine ;)

Sun slowly sails supreme…
Steering sublime stars sans sky…
Sea sweep-starts ship…
salūtāre 2009 :)
