Lost


When today, the rain wetted the window panes,
It had blurred the image of life,
There sat at one dark corner, someone.
Someone, who meant a lot to himself;
Someone, the victim of time.

Tears were trickling down his cheeks;
Some wetted the leaves of his life,
While some were absorbed into wilderness.

His agony crept every hour and every minute;
But the rain had turned into a shower by then,
Wetting everything around;
With his life.

When the images of loss called him now,
His heart had said, “Not now….”
When the images of separation called him,
His mind had said, “O Heart! Please forgive me….”

To him today,
The flooded streets and the blurred panes
Stood for a different meaning;
He had begun to experience
The cruelty of time,
The cruelty of life.

The haze of near Future called him then
As he had answered His call.

A helpless soul, he knows not
When the rain shall end.
He knows not
When his cheeks would dry.

Now he has to thrust
His way into somewhere,
Somewhere, away from life,
Away from paradise.
Somewhere, where there’s everything,
Except you all,
Except my heart.

Who Knows?

Time Indecisive....

It was only that day,
When I saw my desperate face
Shirking reality,
Shirking opportunity.

The blinds were drawn,
And the night drew in;
And a vague indecision started
To linger around me.

The horns of dilemma had hit me,
And had left me aptly injured.
The boys were playing that day
Under the good old afternoon sun;
But I couldn’t enjoy.

The uncertainty of my living,
Of my thoughts and feelings,
Paid no heed to me today;
While life’s rocking chair clung to me.

I faced an uncertainty between
Heart and Brain;
And I asking myself,
“Which to opt for?
Can I leave the present
To go for the future?
And whom shall I follow,
My best-wishers or myself?”

The hounds of Fate
Keep gnawing at me still,
And the claws of confusion
Keep grappling me,
As I know not what to do.

Who knows?
Perhaps my future,
Rests on my brain?
