Moon - Dance



Unlike this solitary moon watching me awake.
Her gaze pierced almost every pore of mine.
With some borrowed silver, her hair illumined.
All the while thinking, where to draw the line?

Was there any? Or just the one in my head.
The night patiently waiting like newly weds.
That involuntary holding of hands,
And eyelids lowering, as if searching needle in sand.

Who had led the night?
Was it me or her….or moon`s trickery?
Our every breath sounded in harmony,
The one moment that controls every youth`s fury.

In little steps of two and three,
Her head and my heart lightly swayed.
That ecstatic moment relished in glee,
Who says love binds? It held us free.

On broken wings, meant to fall.
We did flee in insecurities.
Relying on emotions so ephemeral,
Bound to bring remorse and pity.

If only framed memories, be relived again
And words stand for emotions to explain.
Never an owner of things and selves,
But, enslaved by pleasures and pain.
How could I be even of myself?
While following expertise of else`s world, in vain.

So, why kiss and own the moment?
Think of one-another with contempt.
The beauty of things left unsaid,
Not just in heart, but resides in head.

No wonder you are far,
Too far away to have a chance.
If only, it does happen ever,
I could complete our Moon-Dance.

Analysis @ LIFE.com -


  When a human is born his inception is with a child. But as life runs the child inside the humans is lost and dies away. It is this “CHILD LIKE ADULT” not “CHILDISH ADULT” which must be kept alive to live life to the fullest and attain a 100% joyous life. Analyze and observe, stop! And think where you are going? What’s the path that you have chosen? And where would it take you? Think, interpret folks! Your life will be a total waste and full of agony and acute sufferings if you let the child inside you die a “TIMELY DEATH”. Ever noticed a child? He'll pass smiles to you as if he were to be your best of the best buddies, wouldn't differentiate rich or poor, good or bad, clean or unclean. A child would as promptly puddle and muddle in a marsh as in a garden. He wouldn't fear the most feared animals. Ask yourself why is it that you are always attracted towards a child? Why are children so sweet? But why that innocent and cutest creation of the almighty does grows into characters like terrorists, rapists, murders and “ADULTS”? It is no mere chance that it happens so. The reason lies in the beginning of my analysis. People may come and people may go but the child inside of man couldn't last for a little longer.

My Abandoned Land

           MY ABANDONED LAND

               Oh my land ! How wounded & scarred thou art,
               What had I done for you, from my own part?

               Sorrows and tears are there surrounding you,
               While I sit miserably, watching your tattered view.

          That night when I was here fast asleep,
               Death on his chariot was taking long leaps.

                When sleep was soothing our tired minds,
                Sorrow was approaching you on both its hinds.

                That mournful morning even the sun did not open
                its eyes for you,
                Of that dreadful havoc even it didn’t have any clue.

               With thunder  and  downpour came  thou wrath,
              Oh Kedar! With thou fury, wail and tears you brought.

             Corpses lying around and damp clouds floating in the sky,
             Your atmosphere,  Oh my land !  is today filled with remorseful
              cries.

            Why so abandoned and why so alone have we left you,
            Tears roll down my cheek and guilt engulfs me when I
            think of you.

            Why have we all left the land where we all grew?
            Now its time to pay  our debts, that are on us,
            already  due.
