Pleasure of Words

In unending spree glistening drops fall from black clouds like sparkling pearls drops of rain hang  like silvery strings lighting the air in a watery glow Soil's dirt exudes a fragrance reminding the rain of its long last love rain's tender embrace stirs soil into a trance Oblivious of dirt it lies under the watery canopy   In my heart it rains drops of pain piercing the flesh  in sullen dampness Worries flood in flurry leaving the spirit dry seeking respite  I run desperate I scurry  into my soul's recesses dropping the mind leaving the I behind

Plaintive cries of despair rise to a crescendo from the sorrowful spirit scattering moments into darkness Distant lights shining bright waver like flames of fire throwing quivering shadows on the life's space Horrendous,  gloomy  figures, of myriad shapes invade the night driving  my being  into a sordid abyss Like  birds of darkness, shadows hover over my sky feeding on my soul  devouring  it's light  Wrecked into loneliness I gaze at the distant horizons awaiting the harbinger of hope  to imbue life with it's lost colours  Hope arrives, but dead dragging hope's cadaver into its grave, I walk away to my home far away

As Twilight dissolves  into darkness day becomes night Dusk splits  the world  into two - Day and Night. Night's exuberance  beats the Day's  lassitude Day's cacophony drown in night's silence Day’s sorrows seek solace  in night's arms creeping into night's embrace leaving the day behind I wander  into night's shadow indulge  in its charms I lie stupored struggling  to see Meaning and purpose Wonder What lied before… What lies beyond… I Make merry seek Peace...

May be, I was a dabbler, I thought you'd guide me, into conviction for the cause May be, I was a dilettante, I thought you'd,  catapult me into expertise At least, I thought, You'd understand me, but you undermined me, by all means My roots, were not as enriched as yours, thought you'd nourish, and nurture me, but you were in course, of perishing me Now, I leave, you,  Needn't bless me,but don't despise me  My silence Doesn't mean I am useless. I am,not, a man of splendor, but definitely, one of candour ..

Amma ,You, a victim of the marital disenchantment And I, it's unfortunate produce Bathed in blood  I emerged into existence Capable not  of appreciation and gratitude I Pushed into  chasm of ingratitude Your noble love Nothing would suffice Your selfless acts, Indebted I am  To your kindness All I have is a humble bow As I stare at the distant horizons the last dyke of hope falls I drown in life's unkindness  Gobbling its filth  Striving for survival  As I tremble  in fear   be my side maa Hold my hands  in your soulful reassurance And give me solace ...

Pixels of your eyes illuminated  my soul's  Deep recesses  Scent of your skin  engulfed the smell Of ‘After Love’ Long gone tragedies Of the reveries lies buried in my memories  Misplaced words Messed the worlds. Hapless intentions Distorted our equations Night's transgressions haunting the days Leaves no space for peace In hopeless longing I walk away...

In youth's excesses  yielding to pleasures I roamed life's streets blind to worries The vices of past, what shadows they cast darkening life's sky leaving the spirit dry Days of morrow  loom like stormy clouds  whose thundering sound smack of the befallen end In unending madness  I wander  Staring into blankness lying barren  sighing over lost hopes,  to the word's warmth I retreat. Suckling texts end to beginning  what eludes me is life's meaning Legs go weary  shaking to tunes of destiny In bleeding agony I let it go… To start all over again  another score and ten years...
