Love

Captivated by its sheer beauty and strength
   I stood at the horizon , amazed at it's length
Racing waves and howling winds
   Sands amass and gullls on wings

My selfless love morphed in burning desire
  to hold ...to own , this blue sea-fire

Being 'fair' , the sea also obliged ..
  Dreading , worrying , it did ..what's 'right'

Bound by 'duties', the sea went quite,
  Unused to boundaries , it strived to delight

In my frenzy , to love and host,
  I destroyed what i loved the most!

Gone was the rebel , the proud unrelenting strength
  It obliged to become a river  , it's instincts up-pent !

I severed the bonds , returned it's 'zing'
 When realisation dawned that love is not 'owning'

We still marvel at our beauties a par
  We meet and love ....more now...albeit afar !

Life always throws a myriad of images ..
 Some lovely ,some ugly , some special tutelages..

One has to choose , his own special sap
 My 'sea' for sure is one such feather of my cap !

Dayre

Itni bandishe hai hum par ki
 Jamane ne, 'khushiyo' ke bhi dayre diye

Kise, kaisi aur kitni khushi mile
 Iske be-dardi pehre kiye

Samjhoto ko hi 'khushi' bana , chal rahe hai sab
  Kohra hat te hi , naraj , adhmare ...lag rahe hai sab

Kar rahi hu tajarba , apni khushiyo ko jine ka
  'Mai' ko pyayle ke dayre se , matloon karne ka .

Destination

Obsessed with our destination,
A fanatical fascination,
We draw a metaphor to the 'moth'
Yearning for 'light' it doth

Unsure of fables,
Wobbling ,hurting & unstable
We still seek the 'ultimate joy'
Promised by the heart ; at end of the ploy

Beauties pass by,
All inviting and coy
With not so much as a glance
We hurry....say goodbye

In our quest for the treasure,
Our journey loses its pleasure,
To be happy at dusk
We barter our smiles , soul...
Our very 'musk'

Lemme seek some shade,
A bed of grass blades,
To soothe my eyes and feet,
Anguished , exploited by the pain and heat !

Sure, one should be smitten
The golden fruit should be bitten,
But lemme also enjoy the berries,
The succulent seasonal 'varies' !

Only future will behold
Whether i'll find joy
On reaching my gaol

Lemme brighten the presemt today
enjoy the journey....
And gift a few laughs on the way !
