The Invisible Prisoner

Don't try to understand me!
I function from different levels
Over which even I have no control!
Often self destructive
But with a deep inner passion
For the beauty in life

A cosmic connection
An ebbing and flowing
Like the tides
More Lunar in nature
Than solar
Receptive and sensitive
Playing my life in the major keys
While my inner symphony
Is composed in the minor

Do you have the answer?
Can you enter my inner world?
Or is it too draining
And not worth the effort?
Unless you are `THE ONE’
Who will hack down the briars?
Which surround my tender heart?
And rescue me from this prison
Of insecurity and broken dreams
And release the untamed spirit
Straining at the bars of my cell
Go on your way
And we will talk about it no more.

Departure

When the end truly comes, that great day so longed for
It comes with no great fuss, no headlines,
No great salute, no ringing tone
To herald this one soul
Into 'What will be!’
No choir of angels
No trumpet call
Nothing new
Papers sold
Babies born
People die!

Life continues.....
Bins are collected
Spots are squeezed
Teeth brushed
Toilets flushed
Taxes rise
And somewhere
In the heart
of that

I leave……

Kabhi..

Kabhi apni hansi par bhi aata hai gussa..
Kabhi saare jahaan ko hansaane ko jee chahta hai..

Kabhi chupa leta hain gamo ko kisi kone me ye dil..
Kabhi kisi ko sab kuch sunaane ko jee chahta hai..

Kabhi rota nahi mann kisi kimat par bhi..
Kabhi yun hi aansu bahane ko jee chahta hai..

Kabhi hansi si aa jaati hai bheegi yaadon mein..
Kabhi sab kuch bhulaane ko jee chahta hai..

Kabhi achha lagta hai azaad udna..
Kabhi kisi bandhan mein bandh jaane ko jee chahta hai..

Kabhi lagte hain apne begaane se..
Kabhi begaano ko apna banaane ko jee chahta hai..

Kabhi upar waale ka naam nahi aata zubaan par..
Kabhi usko manaane ko jee chahta hai..

Kabhi lagti hai ye zindagi badi suhaani..
Kabhi zindagi se uth jaane ko jee chahta hai..

Kabhi soche hain, ho kuch naya iss zindagi mein..
Aur kabhi bas aise hi jiye jaane ko jee chahta hai..
