Transform

 Transform now if change is what you want

Transform yourself if change is what it’s all about

Transform the little space you breathe in

Transform the noise you daily seep in

Can the little space be brightened?

Can lives be changed?

Can the planet be touched?

Questions to debate cynics can fight

Transform my friend if you seek to fly in the endless sky of possibilities

Transform if you want the world changed Into an equal space with no casualties

Transform if you crave for that homeless kid to smile

Transform and the world around will go that extra mile.

Objects of desire

The table to keep

The chair to sit

The car to travel

The stereo to listen in

 

The objects of desire once

The objects for granted now

 

The chair can twist your senses

Make for a partner in leisure

The table can be the cynosure of your friends

It can hold your fragrant flowers

The car can kill

It can lead you to your destination

The stereo can be sweet melody

Your inspiration and shrink in depression

 

It’s an existence and a non existence

Often buyer’s pleasure

It’s in news when it kills

Tells its story when you decide to tell

 

It’s blind though

Doesn’t see who you are

Doesn’t judge your worth in life or death

Stands stern in dawn or dusk

Takes the beating of time

Serves a span if well made

Dies if not.

A man meets a woman

A man meets a woman

A woman meets a man

A connect found

 

A pleasant situation

A little strange circumstance

An unchangeable social dictum

 

A man meets a woman

A woman meets a man

The man cry

The woman wonders

 

Pain, anger, hatred

Union of souls or not

Love lost and gained

 

A man meets a woman

A woman meets a man

A child almost born

 

Fear, analysis, distance

Barriers created

Two entwined bodies depart

But the souls?

 

Maybe next time

Maybe next life

Maybe never

Maybe now

 

Demands for a clean slate

Erase memories

Erase the unbearable nausea

Erase all heaviness

Erase the common madness

To start life anew

To begin where it all began

To make no mistake

To be perfect

Or to be human?

The Crow

A bird invisible

A life unnoticed

Nature’s janitor

 

A journey still

A morning to dusk rhythm

A free soul

A bird you see

 

Is black the reason?

Is the beak too long?

Is it plain ugly?

 

Fear, disgust, indifference

The emotions you feel.

 

Goes on though

Lives its life

Feeds, mates, plays

Sits firm in the eco cycle

Departs without disturbing you

The crow.

Dream and curse

Women should bear children

Women should marry

Women should love

Women should submit

Women should be happy

Men should earn

Men should learn

Men should marry late

Men should lust

Men should be brave

Men should be strong

 We make these rules

We inhabit this space

 Yet we fear

Yet we despair

 To be that one left out

To be singled out in a crowd

 Be satisfied with a puny life

Sit in comfortable rat holes

Dream and curse

Dream and curse

 Play this twisted game

Till our minds are numbed

Till our limbs have given up

 All hopes for a different tomorrow.

Helpless Tears

Boys slain in the land of poverty

Women ravished by the men of God

Human sins punished to instill fear

Lives terminated

Vaginas ripped

Limbs amputated

Mother’s abusive tears hurled

Father’s silent, unmanly tears of desperation ignored

Greedy bystanders hungry, shameless gaze fed

And a distant sister’s helpless tears ridiculed.

Trust

Is one intriguing word in the Queen’s parlance

An unambiguous, unsaid expression for the experienced

A disgusting emptiness for the inexperienced

A deep connect between the 2 and the 4 limbed

A lost nothing for the betrayed

A silent vow in love

A sanctimonious threat in marriage

A lifelong bond with the Supreme Power for the believers

A funny, illogical binding for the atheist

A strange word which instigates mixed reflexes

A strange emotion which mocks logic

Yet a  potent source of hope for humanity

A decisive weapon for peace.

Confidence

Is a strange feeling

A pumped up feel good high

A charged up no balance act

A veni, vidi, vinci in control

A destructive void if inflated

A tiny space between vanity and conceit

A white between a black and grey.

Say Yes.

Cannot give up

My core

My dreams

My fears

My angst

My anguish

Only because I will stand alone

Only because I will be the odd one out

Only because I will cry and bleed and never express

Only because I will live life my way

Only because I will refuse to say yes.

Finally…

When you realize what you are meant to be

When you see the truth in all its shades

When you leave your comfort zone        

When you smell the roses and decide to delve in its aroma

When you focus on the bright colors

When you identify life for all its worth

When you decide to wake up.
