life roads

the road of life
is never too easy
you have to decide...
how you want
the journey to be?

smooth?
then it is a fairytale
chocolate houses
ice-cream trees
definitely boring!

rough?
then there are cuts and scratches...
probably even the blood
oozing through
mountains and valleys
burning fire and dracōns
or the turbulent sea
and the soaring winds...

do i hear you heart pounding?
so which road you waana it to be?
Decide fast...
I have a long way to go...

ne plus ultra dayz

morning 4am
till where i stand
tears in eyes

what shall i call
it today
this day
that makes me smile
or the same that aches my head!

same day, same day...
glorious epoch...
same day, same day...
grazed with dazed tyre crush...

compliments surrounded
left on an empty esplanade...

first time felt
the gender danger
first time felt
helpless and tottered

'friend'
knows now
what it means

drove alone
this night today...
what else written
left to play?

tuckered out
ne plus ultra day!
all smile
or a sorrow to say?

Solo Ride

It was high time for a ride, and a long one. I went down, but the back tyre was flat! Took it to shop, the tyre-tube was gone and had to be replaced. That done, i took off... few km further i realized i forgot my cam at home only... came back for it... Luckily the weather was just right and i finally took off to uttarhalli - kengeri road!
Just before reaching mysore road, i felt it was safer not to venture further more alone... also there were clouds and thinking it might rain, i returned home...When the day seems too long
and you are lost
in the turmoil...
When there are so many questions
and heart seems lost
in the maze...
You look out of the window
but answers itself
seems a haze...
Clouds seems dark
and winds blow hard
right into your face...
Your eyes frown
far beyond
the empty firmament...
Your heart guides
to the keys
awaiting for a ride...
No aim,
only an undefined path...
No cohort,
only you and your tandem...
Finding solace with the wind
The ruffled feathers
fleeing free...
And the peace becomes
yours to keep...

Chasing the train...

Imagine how it'll be like...
An empty stretch...
and an approaching whistle of a train...

Battling the Battle...

Just as the sun,
is geared to set...
The Beast rises...
Cornering the Samurai,
kicking it alive...
And another battle,
set in motion...

Beast is prepared a bit,
trained from twisted tyrant...
Non-stop... both fight...
battling... struggling...
the Samurai,
grumbling a toss...
an hour pass..

the Beast,
not ready to resign...
slowly slowly,
getting the sound... the signs...
slowly slowly,
Samurai, getting to know...
the Beast is no foe...

Sun is down,
both tired and rundown...
so for now,
lets return home...

Combat commences

The stage was set,
and it began...
Empty arena,
but it began...
The long awaited battle...
The Samurai was geared,
ready to throttle...
Fighting still...
yet till,
surrenders to the dominion...
and it would be then,
they would be one...
In the interim,
nimbly,
Let the beasts combat...

First Float

What the hell is this?
No back seat? Where would I hold?
I’m sure to fall, holding at the threshold!
How the hell you are enjoying it?
I’m petrified and scared stiff!
Hold me and then relax,
through the uneven tracks…
Hmm, Ok, I’ll try,
concentrate on the drive…
Gradually, bit by bit and mile by mile,
The frown changes to smile…
Am I dancing? But there is no music?
Is there?? Is the wind playing antic?
Drums are playing,
Or is it the thumping?
Am I crazed? Lost completely and amazed?
The same passion,
The same obsession,
Total indulgence, total mergence...
But this is different dance,
A different state of trance…
Air, a blare.
Thump, at each bump.
Beast unleashed…
Brute, flute.
Carnal tilt to throttle.
Soul Surrendered…
One with the Gust,
One with the Beast,
One with the Course,
One with the Road-Horse…
Flying uncontrolled!
Give me more, give me more,
No stopping the Cruise…
Eyes closed,
Heart pumps,
The Bull just Trumps!
No stopping the Wheel Spinning,
Pulse Singing,
Adrenaline Exhilarating,
No stopping the Enfield Exploring!

Dream Ride

I’m I barmy??
Going alone into the all men’s territory?
Its early morning… and I’m cold,
Cold with the thought what I have opted?
Its just a ride, silly…
Forget it, you’ll enjoy and no worry!

Running on the road…
One, two, three… more and more…
The bulls are coming… and we kick off.

The look of wonder… the look of wish…
All the passersby, bypass them all with modish.
Through the rain… through the wind…
Through the sun and through the chills…
Callous, calm, cool we move,
Unrestrained, rigid, tenacious, hills…
Rising sun, passing peaks and the greens
Promising road ahead and the thumping beats
nothing more, nothing less, wonders wonderers…
and we move…

We move and move… through the night too we move…
Chilly feet chilly hands but we move…
Together we move… and come to the climb to mavanoor…
All enclosed in a dream…
The ride to upstream…
Fairy tale calling… grandma clouds spinning…
And a snake moving to the peak…
Enormous massive mountainous thumping…
Slithering coiling turning curving…
The bends and the moves… and we move sleek!

We reach and stop
Cold? Very…
Tired? Very…
Sleepy? Very…
Hurting all over? Very very very…
Where is the bed silly?

Black dark… No moon no star…
Climb the steps some how…
There is a fire place, oh wow!
Hmmm, getting some life in now!
Place is nice… one by one all settles
And begin the ritual with bottles
I go to get a wash, so that I can break my fast…
Back I am but still the drinks are on,
But there is some surprise on the lawn!
An anni-cake! And to top it all… I’m the one to flake!
This isn’t happening!
Always been a tomboy
Basketballing, tennis racketting, tree climbing...
But still... Me?
Between so many guys? Cutting a cake?
What do i feel? Surprisingly a tomboy still...
Feel like a partner in crime… No, not a babe…
Not a babe at all...
We chat… we discuss,
Disclose the tees… eat dinner and disperse.
Night is still dark and cold… and we sleep in our abodes.

Alarm ringing… where am I?
Cold and dark still I move out at quarter to 5
Skip a beat with a sky soo bright…
No moon still…but the light is of stars…
Stars so pure and stars so near…
I loose myself in their dancing eyes sitting on the crossbar…
Feel sleepy again from their peace and the story.
Bye pretty little heroes, thanks for a lovely play.

I woke again… oh my god… just look out…
What a sight… what a dream to wake up to…
A lake amidst the mountains… and us…
Wow… hurry…get out… reach out… go check it out…
Rush and roll… mesmerized, capture some and click some
Lost in the mountains… away from city away from all potholes.
Hungry? Thirsty? Didn’t even have water!
Breakfast I need right now… what? What is that??
Looks like a shiv-ling… too good… what a arresting rock!
Need to go… need to see… just need to check it out…
And I climb… climb onto the rock… climb like a child… atop the rocks…
Hmmm good… turn back... and look… alluring… splendid… stunning…
I wish I had got my diary… no issues… got no words left,
All swiped out… spell-bounded tongue-tied bewitched bereft...

Ready to go? No, no, no… stamp my foot…
And get ready to go… back to the city-kaput.
Only three bulls only three heading to the jungle race,
I feel sad.. but they increase the pace…
The fog is still here… the clouds are still here…
Then why are we going back dear?
Taking a different route…
I just don’t wanna shout and be rude…

Are we going back? We are!
We are climbing another mountain!
We are slithering down another peak…
but this time all twists and turns…
All dangerous and deadly curves we sneek.
Clouds following up down… up down…
We go with them… climbing down town.
Reach the plains and back we go…
Straight straight straight… back to the rat-race…
And another chapter closed!
