Empty Dreams

Surrounded by my loneliness,
Surrounded by my thoughts,
The lost dreams in my empty eyes,
I submit to my destiny
Before the invisible black mirror.

Blinded by the illusions of life,
The senseless memories seem to be forgotten,
The day and night I feel
Without the twilight setting in;
The dream of eternity I dream!

The thoughts lead me
Through never-entered paths,
Lost in the blind ends they are
I cannot turn back,
I just see bleak pictures of the past.

In this life without light,
My thoughts are controlled
By the bleakness of the past;
The shackles chaining my life
Becoming feeble and weaker.

The feet are too tired to carry me longer,
Tired I feel for my life,
I want to close my eyes to sleep---
Sleep till eternity
And forget my empty dreams!!

Your Own God

Torturing Humans
For their Gods,
Crushing their wills
For their Gods,
Nailed bodies on the cross
For their Gods,
Pyres burning
For their Gods.

War, Death and Sorrow
Doesn't bring the world a nice 'morrow;
Couldn't He do anything against it,
The adored God, The Imperial Being!

Children sacrificed by mothers
For their Gods,
Women burnt alive
For their Gods,
Masses dying in pain
For their Gods,
The burning fire of their sins
For their Gods.
Their God exist only in beliefs,
Their souls subdued by lies they believe,
Liberate the thoughts, Possess the courage,
Believe your own power, Believe YOUR OWN GOD!!

Silent Message

Late at night
Everybody's asleep,
I try to close my eyes,
I try to get some sleep.

Looking outside through the window
I see the solitary light,
The light that glows,
The moon that shines so bright.

Thinking of the distance
That separates us,
The moon seems to say---
"I'm as close to her as to you!"

With no one knowing my fate,
With no one bothering even to hate,
I pass a silent message
To the person who let me forget them all!!


---- well don't ask me the person whom it is supposed to be written....

A Night!!

Taking a drag in...
Pushing a puff out...
Wonder how it feels...
To go out loud and shout....

Scream out your name...
Tell you my pain...
Brutal memoir of nothingness...
Hollow insides of.............................................

Carve your name on a rock,
Unable to be erased by the rain;
Write your name on the sand,
Just to wash away the pain.

The shout goes on to faint,
Your picture I paint,
Not on those material canvases,
But a canvas unimaginable!!


----- this was a joint write... the first part (first two stanzas) was written by gurl..... and the following part was finished by me...

Sacrifice

Tied at the altar,
Her pure soul
Will soon be free,
Her dear life
Will soon cease.

The dagger,
Ready to split her head;
The corpse,
Ready to be fed;
Tied body, fulfilling the rite.

She's bleeding fast,
Floating in a pool of blood,
Her skull split open.
This will suffice
The petty sacrifice.

The cheeks filled with tears,
The brows filled with sweat,
Time has come for her---
Living away from hate,
Death, her eternal fate!!

Decision

Alone in the dark,
Trapped within the walls,
A subtle voice resounds,
Yearning to be free.

A clear voice sounded,
From the depths of the mirror;
"I'll give you eternity
If you pull me out."

Promising anything,
Beseecching with all might,
The whole life can be changed
For only a single step!


----- was written on the day of HOLI '08... had lots of shiddhi(i made it) and in da evening the damn mind was imagining all absurd things.. cudn't think of a title to this crap even... thanx to ashwin, kep ur suggestion..

Sky High

Threaded rivers,
Geometrical pastures,
Green fields,
Plethora of trees.

Shadow
In the invisible penumbra,
Food
Scurrying for life.

Scorching sun,
Obstinate breeze,
Forcing to retreat
Challenging the will!

No shelter,
No society,
No friends,
Lonely rings in the blue sky.

Sunrise
Struggle for food,
Hunger
Appetite to kill.

Swooping dive,
Clawed kill,
Relinquished desire,
Food for the soul!!
