Burning The Bridge

I stand on this other end
Dejected – I need not pretend
Does the water tend to weep……..?
A heart that lost its feeling
And words that lost their meaning
A promise – none could keep

This only way that leads to you
I light with fire, without a sound
I drink those tears – I walk away
WHILE THE BRIDGE IS BURNING DOWN

All your thoughts fill up my mind
But not one look I’ll cast behind
I’ll crush these moments’ weak…..
And what was it I asked of you
Nothing more than was my due
But no more will I seek

Rewarded for my gift of love
I get to wear this thorny crown
The smoke has darkened all my dreams
WHILE THE BRIDGE IS BURNING DOWN

The distance now will only grow
What lies beneath no one will know
But will you get your sleep…….?
Those moments that brought us to life
When every part felt so alive
Will they freeze in memories deep?

With shivering hands I bury them
Some obscure corner of the town
I touch my heart – it has turned to stone
WHILE THE BRIDGE IS BURNING DOWN

For all important things you’re free
You’ll never need to answer me
Go – conquer every peak…………
When all you get – you’ll know the cost
That in the bargain what you lost
The heart will solace seek

May be some day you’ll want to meet
You’ll search that bridge – you’ll look around
But we’re parted now for life, my love
YOU DID NOT SEE AND THE BRIDGE BURNED DOWN

Candle for the Dead

I burn a candle
for the dead.

Souls are up for sale,
bought by the mindless
to be hung on bare walls,
trapped in the pages of the Holiness,
a representation of blind faith.

I burn a candle
for the dead.

Prayers now echoes
Screams of the brutalized
Of the massacred.
Of blazing houses.
Blood stirred in saffron,
Religion is now one color.

I burn a candle
for the dead.

She walked,
Among werewolves and law abiders.
Her hands shielded her
raped and mutilated dignity,
The Cross weighing down on her bare shoulders.

I burn a candle
For her.

He is the messenger of God,
A soldier executing His will
He had summons to kill for peace,
“To immolate in Thy name,
A sacrifice I do not fear to render.”

I burn a candle
For his Life.

I can hear the death knell.
Humanity is buried,
Earnings are for the least deserved.
Ignorant about the impending doom
Building a world on corpses
Of faith, the human race.
God doesn’t want me.

I burn a candle
for the Living.

Oblivious Plains

He sits in a dark corner of my heart
Waiting for the silver lined clouds to cry
Paradox of steaming ice water to die
Finding a path in the twisted veins of life
Not looking for shadows of hope in lights
Solving the spiral avenues of this isolated fight

He believes in the dark corner of my heart
Twisted
For someone to light a candle
And whisper a word in his deaf ears
To unravel his scrambled arms
And drink the salt of his fears

He grieves in the dark corners of my heart
Brilliant death of his heart, death of his name
Slamming back against the walls, breaking bones
Insane

She observes from the silent corners of my heart
Thinking, “Insane”
Absorbing the aroma of still dying flowers
On stage this infinite game
Ignoring the sting of his arrogant eyes
Describing the depth of his smiling lies
She recoils silently
From the silent corners of my heart

A Light of Hope

Shattered, broken, captive
In my own frustrations
Surrounded by canvas’
Complete compositions
From a base in pieces.

Hopes carpeting the floor
Happiness peeling off walls
A shard for a door,
Enter and you’ll hurt
Wounded, yet I am whole.

Cobwebs on the ceiling
A fear lingering
Crushed dreams under forces stronger
Trying to trudge forward, just a little longer
A silver string shining on my neck.

A storm battering,
My foundations dissolving
Leaving shards ajar shapeless
I melt away, seeping through cracked floor boards
A candle once alight, I wish life goodnight.

The Broken Monotony

Night forlorn  

Hath fallen aghast

The ephemeral void

Hath open’d

 

Numbing in anticipation

Feelings are not  felt anymore.

 

Is it the broken monotony?

Am I dead?

Destitute….(by Yashika)

a child like soul
cries for warmth
ransacks a heart
to stay and shine
but the world betrays
the world crooks
noone understands
the soul is mine.

My Love

My love , I have tried with all my being
To grasp a form comparable to thine own.
But nothing seems worthy.
I know now why,
Shakespeare couldn’t compare his love to summers day.

It would be a crime to denounce
The beauty of
Such a creature as thee.
To simply cast away the precision
God has placed in forging it.

Each facet of your being is an ensnarement.
From which there is no release .
But,
I do not wish release.
I wish to stay entrapped,
With you ,
For all eternity.
Our souls ,
Always as one…..

My Birthday Gift ( by Yashika)

(Hello everyone…! here is the best birthday present that I ever got . Yashika on my 17th birthday wrote this for me …..and I am extremely hankful to her….. By the way the magic of GOP can completely be seen in this one …. enjoy..:)   )

 

An aroma spreads in the breezes of jan

Bringing a flabby warmth for a special day

The beautiful omens of smile are coming true

Because it is my angel’s birthday.

 

Scrawling with comatose words

Craving to adduce you a glamorizing caress

I tangled within the reveries of your lift

Yet no regrets on the panoramic wilt!! J

 

I sit on the corner of my terrace

Gaping at the elegance of the moon

Lost in your thoughts, I rest my head

Unknowingly , a tear I shed L

 

Staggered at the surreal amity

Amazed at the sudden life’s shift

Now I wonder to startle your life

But still am muzzy at what to gift.

 

A desire to gift you a cascade of love

A wish to gift you an eternal mirth

A thirst to gift you a peerless zest

A dirth to solemnize my best friend’s birth J

 

I want to gift you something beautiful

Thinking this I look up, very high

Yet a smile ceases my face

What about gifting you the whole sky? J

 

Hey! I do have something as your gift

A present that would always be with you

Do me a favour and please look up

And yeah! This whole sky is for you. J

 

Sometimes these stars will embellish your life

Sometimes the sun will shine for you

The moon will symbolize our love eternal

This is all I have for you.

 

One more thing that I want to gift

No these are not roses or scents

But a promise of being there forever

Just a promise, My dearest friend…… J

Aide-Memoire

An unblinked moment passed away
He opened his eyes
From nothingness to nothingness

All his senses
Forgotten.

All the tales that reminisce of him
Now seek his claim
Now seek his  mirth.

Inundulated by the loss
He seeks a cause of self

Clenched in his tangled wrist
Is an old photograph,
Bringing him back
To his own reality

For My Friend (by Yashika )

[Whoa! Hats off Yashika (GOP) ! Have no words for this one . Your words say it all]

 

Though we haven’t met

who u are though i haven’t seen

but you were never afar

but you were never away

because in my heart you’ve always been.

your friendship has turned me into a bard

now to forget you it will really be hard

from the day you’ve entered my life

i dont have any wry

but sometimes a small question strikes my mind

i miss u,i dont know WHY

for me even your sweet remembrance brings serenity

its only your face that i search in infinity

evrytime i get your new image

everytime i get a different figure

sometimes i see you as a gentleman

but unfortunatly sometimes i get a cute caricature:)

sometimes in my dreams

i see u giving me frowns

but see am valient enough to tell you that

sometimes i see you wearing a crown

but the crown is for best cartoon]

if you want to change this image

then please come and meet me soon

no i am not forcing you,dont worry

even i am not in a hurry

afterall i dont want to change that DARLING IMAGE

afterall i dont want to change you

because people who get cartoons as there BEST PALS

are reallllllllyyyyyyyy very few:D

Song Of Lament (by Yashika)

(Now I think I am losing the ownership of this blog

Yashika is reigning over everything present on this blog ……..

And I plan to change the name of this blog after her 

Anyways you enjoy the extraordinary poem by an extraordinary girl )

 

your absence is overshadowing my existence

your regrets are darkening my soul

ur remembrence is baleful

which is pushing me into a blue hole.

 

why do i think about u

when you arn’t there?

if you dont respect my love

then why the hell do i care?

 

why dont you drop out of my dreams?

why do you always force me to scream?

if you hate me,why do you come again?

why do you try to console me,

if what you have to give is just pain?

 just take away your fake comfort

just dont show me your face

dont try to befriend with me

i know this is my isolated race

 

the race to neglect you

the race to overlook my past

the race to forget you

i know this is my last…..

Another By Yashika

In race of life
Against the illusionary world
I feel dull
I fell low
I feel frustrated
Its just overshow !!
I feel as if everyone is moving forward
BUT I am lef behind
All have developed an avaricious feeling
And noone is any more kind…
The feeling of competition assaults my mind
I see myself nowhere
I know i m lacking behind
The abominable feelings overshadows my soul
The strands of fear traps me ..
Its just failure that i see
I want to run away
I want to hide
I know i cant do it
this is not my side
Now my brain cannot mend
Now nothing can be done
final decision is to give up
There is no use to pretend
Now the only way to finish my fear
Is to finish myself
To forget my aim
To kill my dreams
To ruin myself
And silent my dreams………..

Silent Bonds (A Poem By Yashika)

(This is the poem that is completely not mine ..But its not far from being mine)

My soul has abide

From the  day I had been on Your side

From the day I got a friend like you

I felt that everything in my life is new

The way you console me

The way you make me smile

This is the best feeling ever

I dont want to go away for even a while

I got you ,

This really is my good fate

But I am sorry for the times

I irritate

Sometimes I ask you too many questions

Maybe you hate me for that

At times when I share my problems with you

It makes me carefree and light

You know sometimes I am amused

At our kidish cute fights

Sometimes I feel addicted

Sometimes I feel its a play

Sometimes I dont feel like talking to you

‘Cause you told me that you are a gay

Ok that was a deadly PJ

And we really laughed hard that day

You know the poem that you gave   (reffering to Your Birthday Gift)

It was surely the sweetest wave

The best present one could ever get

Something that atleast made my eyes wet

No, I wasnt actually crying

But yes ,

To meet you , I was surely dying

OK my poem isnt that good

But always trust me if you could

You are just like a sweet little toy

But I am still confused if BALI is a boy   (bali is our friend)

I want to ask you something

But please dont lie.

Is my friendship a burden??

Do you find it fake??

Do I trouble you a lot??

Is it just for my sake??

I think I should end this poem now

But atleast you can tell me how.

This may be is a start of a beautiful realtion

Your happiness is  my destination

May be I am asking for something

Or may be just for pity

Will you be there with me ?

Till eternity?

And yes atlast I want from you a favour

Please be there with me

Forever.

Hours Of Unison

Suddenly light appears
And goes justifying

Picking up the pieces
Of a juvenile wreckage

Of fantasies untold
And ruptured skin

Unfurling with wind
A dove’s observation
Going astray, maybe
Verily the course
Hasn’t been marked

Flickering ripples
Opiated, gushing

Tense wires, hanging
Tightening in your grip
And in the process
A thin crimson one
Creeps out of you

And me

Velvet Desire

Snow is falling
Across the mire
The valley is clothed
In a velvet desire

Wind blames me
Solitude claims me

Mist is recovering

Vision is blocked

 Like a spirit of never ending beauty
You come
Bathing the place, in your heavenly grace

Vapours of mist engulf everything
And in this nothingness
Nothing is forbidden

Cold . Numb .
Astonished . Mortified.
I get up
Blinking blankly
Looking at myself , in your eyes.

Pain burning away
I shrink within myself

Cloaked in the mantle of dismay
I close my eyes
Surrendering. Away from the numbness
Before my end claims me
I beg for a final touch
Embrace me
In the warmth of your scarlet lips

Dream Of Delusion

[Dream]
Under the moonlight
I see her face
As the mist descends on us
We embrace
And it rains
I watch her fade away
Yet from another dream I awake

[Reality]
I cannot see
I cannot feel
I cannot love
I cannot live
I have to be in my dream, not reality

[Delusion]
Under the moonlight
I see her dying face
As the coil wraps around us
We embrace
And it rains
I feel melting away
Waiting for me to jerk awake

But this is not a dream…
