Won You Hope

And then she
Won you Hope.
Chasing down
Elusive roads,
Strutting along
Nooks of dismay,
Flaking out in
Dusts of tears,
She groped
For you to stay.
Walking again
Those rocky miles,
She jerked all
And sundry rides,
Eclipsed you
For none to see,
Raging feuds
Of joy and rue.
Then she rode
You blazing Hope,
So that day when
All is robbed,
You she frees
A victorious core,
You she raises
From her fall!

My Poem

Tears of rain
Surged you there

Frolics of Sun
Reveled in your touch

Ogles from moon
Deemed your mood

Imbued in remorse
So you’d flower

Anchored my soul
At shores so sole

My rising berates
Breathed you swell

My poignant dirt
Indulged in your flirt

Often died but
For you I lived

For you shall I
Perhaps remain

My shroud, my crown
You -My poem!

Dance With Me !

Sun, My dear
You care for?
A swirl some place

Mid silken skies
Along mushy
Blues and whites

Tapping your toes
Lyrical, musical
All, my woes

Groove along as
We, tune in
A yen night

Slithered in my
Stained, smeared rues
Mythical mime

I sure danced
Days, but saved
You dark song

Versed nights
Strutting glee
Your dance with me!

DREAM SLEEP

Up I wake to
You-Dream Sleep

Smudge lost sight
Ground pale feet

'Sleep' I shush is
Safe though steep

Demonic ground that
Make your retreat

When o’ dear
I stir though

To life beats
Breathing times

Cold creeks here
Sniff and weep

Tear ‘n’ bleed
Often disbelieve

Pry and glean
Deeds so indiscreet

Rather not be up?
To you- Dream Sleep!

My Wanton Dreams

Juiced, propped and braced
A fistful of those desires
I managed to waste

Eyes lulled them on
Music they played then
Kept me awake

Those waking eyes
Saw a hush …
In you, a quiet seethe?

Confiding in me
Fancied you then
And now…

Writhed dreams
In you bare
Their conceit

You ring them
To life, you
Spring them to breathe

You, their squire
You, their deceit
All of you, my wanton dreams!

'BELONG'

Walked along the roads,
Ones you had shown.
Whisked along the shores,
Ones you had soaked.

Seethed in whines,
Yours and mine.
Even circled some shrines,
Trusting and trying.

Many worlds and
Their masters I watched.
Many sapient and
Their notes I scratched.

Hostility, piety I
Seek and desired
Within, without I
Embellished, quivered.

Like a nomad so
Wasteful, so lavish.
Fleeced seams and
Devoid treasures.

Along this voyage,
Of times and age,
Of grime and dirt,
Of wilt and search.

Have I not
Come a long trail?
Yet, all I
Feel is a droll.

To you and
Those all around.
I squirm, I plonk.
‘Just don’t belong!’

In between

While,
I’m walking a moment

to gates of another,
gasping through skeletons
of scattering present,
ruins from the past.

Pillar to post as they say,
this distance I map everyday.
dawn to dusk,
here till there,
one facet interspersing
realms of another.

I seek, I push
do the done.
trade joys for
greater sorrows.
Earn the earned,
pennies of wisdom
and lying dust.

While,
I’m on the cart of life.
While,
I’m surviving norms.
Bizarre and outlandish,
transactions between us.

In between,
those destinations of time
In between,
One norm and nine.

In between…
As my eyes smile.
At the sun skimming
through sieves of leaves.

In between…
As moonlight snow
pecks my cheeks.
As rain drenches
my blossomed grief.
As I squeeze,
trickles of fatigue.

In between…
As I dry
in blazed pain,
As I breathe you
fearlessly, unflinchingly.
As brazen winds
bash me to giggles.

In between….
As you, I hear in me
As you, I see in me
As silence loosens
As I pause

In these slant
In betweens
of destinations

In these slant
In betweens

Of lucid glares
In these slant
In betweens
I lie cold and bare!
