Pondicherry

Fears, tears, everywhere Time to take a step back Heard of a place, French colony Want the scent of another mud.

Darling, want to walk on parallel streets alone Have troubled you ample Few nights to handle on my own Knowing you will come to fetch me On the stone shore. In all the dim lights, Near the window, with a book, I’ll write songs for you I’ll sing to you on the rock shore When you come to fetch me Sleep like baby, next four sunrises In the passing breeze enjoy the quietness Be patient in the winds I’ll be fine To shine like a full rainbow, just a half shade away Hold me till dawn on the aura beach, On the fifth sunrise In the photos of colorful life, We’ll explore the world beyond edges Make love once again to me When you come to fetch me. In every shoe of mine, walking with me For you, to take rest, it’s the time. With my tears, I must fight, In our song, in our words. I’ll recite the tales of colors of streets,  In the kissing sun. Just whisper ‘everything will be okay’ in the dark nights And I’ll wait under stars to hug you, With smiles, when you come to fetch me.

Late anniversary

Late night, cold food, angry you Sweaty me, hungry us Let me step in I have an explanation Not justifying my action Ready for admonition. No replies, no call backs, broke promises Ruined surprise, you worked late You didn’t care, waited I Now, sleep alone with your guilt. No conversation. Terrace, moonlight, shiny stars You proposed, we celebrate seventh of November Not our marriage December. Take your meds, no flattering Don’t you dare to disobey your lover. My dreams, my wishes, my illness You always take care In your sacred songs, without fail, I am there Anywhere I, comfortable I, you check. My mistakes, your fuming glare My madness, you concede My body, engraved in your fondness Was stuck in affairs, quite powerless As traffic on Saturdays Can I have my ocean back to smooth sailings? Can you accept my sorry stars? Presenting you my blank canvas  Paint three wishes, with your lips In next aurora you will feel them in realness. I know your destination, me The door, not close anymore Late night, cold food, happy us, let’s go to cloud nine.

Everything ends

The days, the nights, the tears, the smiles Everything ends Oh, pretty woman, you don’t deserve even the form of me Oh, handsome boy if opposite roads they must be, okay I guess, I will accept the closed windows The grades, the relationships, the friendships And the lost childhoods Ugly or pleasing, everything ends To get up is what remains What remains is, you beautiful boy What remains is, you lovely woman There will be tomorrow with learned lessons.

Words to my daughter

Words to my daughter Beneath the stars, I'll share lunar silence With similar fragrance and radiance As did my mother in my adolescence. Sarabhai and Bhabha and the brilliance The cycle to rocket journey And every other celestial journey Achieving the tranquil face Painting a cosmic trace. It was a gentle landing The work was outstanding Engraving the name in space chronicles Moon just became a little more beautiful I am just drawing you 17,475 days Rest, right within your gaze No matter what page you turn Just another chapter in skies so stubborn What once was far away Now it's here to stay Now it's a tour away. To cut the tale to constellations One for the money Two for the show It is a horrify You try try try Sow seeds for dreams Dreamt in tiny outhouse Get on with work, hard work Hold your head high It will be a firefly And you will lie in the sky Carve my words in skies 'midst satellites It will be a soft landing And only whistles and claps In the hallway.

Swaying pink heart

A valley of tulips Neon blue water In the sun With the mountains Your pink heart sways. All your dreams  That you dream Can be true Will be true And you will always run  Here in this lavender valley.

A valley of lights Green, pink and red  And yellow and orange A mixture shines High in the sky Where all your problems  Are a cakewalk Your pink heart sways  Around with the daisies And you will always wake up Here in this calm valley. A valley of rainbows With my arms wrapped around you, I sleep Under the shiny stones, I wish you happiness Your pink heart sways with me forever  Alongside sweet peas And you will be snug as bug in a rug in this colored valley.

Fable

Running high mountains with you Sunrises ans sunsets with you Every mesmerizing thing with you Dream of mine.

Walking beaches with you Making castles with you Pushing away the rights and wrongs Pulling only the smiles and sparkles. Lying under the moon with you On the terrace with a drink with you Nights end in love with you. Teras and laughs Fears and pains In your presence only, everything happens.

You must want more of me You must be closest to me Aye, aye, two peas in a pod Aye, aye, partners in crime Aye, aye, birds of a feather sticking together Aye, aye, at odds Aye, aye, building bridges Aye, aye, the honeymoon pauses Aye, aye, those three little words Aye, aye, ride or die Aye, aye, get on like a house on fire Aye, aye, keep tabs on each other Aye, aye, bend over backwards for each other Aye, aye, make beautiful music together Aye, aye, nest together.

Take you space Have your likes and dislikes Never allowed To leave me in the lurch To leave me in cold To leave me high and dry. Will sleep on the same bed Even when I despise you And at death's door, Time to fade away, When one foot is on grave, On our last legs, Time to drop like flies, Time to kick the bucket, Time to push up the daisies, Either we go hand in hand, or I will go first Because you agreed to accept all my demands.

North Star

On multiple pavements, I stumbled Cardinal points you sharpened, I hustled Whenever I jumbled, your eyes grumbled Whenever I sparkled, your phrases kept me humbled Full of distractions is the world You navigated me to be focused For my every right-angled step you applauded Every clip over the ear, your care, I noticed. For my every footfall down the primrose path Scary was your wrath And I was back on the veracious path. Always find the silver lining Only few moments for whining Regularly aim for learning Unfailingly have a face of smiling Not to fear fighting You are the best being Never stop believeing Never be ashamed of crying Forever be loving Take failures as blessings Are your teachings. I vow I will try my finest To live up to your trust Advice on life chapters You shared your encounters You, a friend, a mentor, a guardian angel For all my corridors. Even so I was last in race You had an article of faith in me Grateful, for looking out for me Endlessly I am indebted I always think of fondly of you Looking forward to meeting you My north star I wouldn't be here, without you.

Western Pacific

Western pacific, my thoughts swim And I walk with a limb Pacing backwards and forewards People like us, devoid of tranquility. Mariana trench, lights can't reach me And I am lost in the same ring of fire Some pressure and friction Caused my neurons to bend and sink And I can't find my own breath. Tried for coast, I sabotaged the way He was a shine of ballet at bay But I was decay, made everything grey. Hurriedly I tried to sway With letters I filled his hallway And it was not Hemingway It was the first day already the doomsday He never peeped and This was the end of screenplay. Oh me! Challenger deep May appear as a creep But pure were my intensions Wanted us to be friends But landed in suspensions There were other dimensions However this is the only life In the deep ocean. If you ever get entangled in my aura I promise there is also Alaska Can understand all your complex flora Sometimes hasty Also a thoughtful acquittance Our fingers will be intertwined in all ambience And creative will be our fragrance. Your problems will be piece of a cake With an emphathatic flake There will be earthquakes But zero heartbreaks Only turning hundred. Western pacific, I complicate things Mariana trench, I shed tears Challenger deep, I am hell of a gem Blessing in blue Lifetime's true.

Don't want to go to the war

Aurora Borealis was our home Now it's only monochrome of hate I sit and think how did the wall so great Went straight to becoming a curse. We can debate and scream But this ship will never gleam We can compress our angers But our banners are ashes in bonfires And ambers can never be flowers. I don't want a war's cruel game Adored you with all my scent But I will roar even with my soar throat If you come with tankers and bombs And salt won't wash away the bloodmarks Just seven years old our dearest Young should not be wasted in violence She doesn't deserve bruises in inheritance Maybe one will get triumph Postwar everyone will loose everything. At midnight, let's divide the boxes You take her to mountains, she dances in snow I will show her beaches, where sea meets land You take her to school, I will take her home Weekends yours, weekdays my space Don't want to go to the war Don't want to draw daggers from my drawer Don't want to fail as a mother Let's not keep score Meet me halfway Just seven years old our dearest Don't want to go the war.

Bundle Of Nerves

Yesterday, I was late to her anniversary I explained why to my ability Did she understand absolutely? In the first light she hugged me barely Is she angry? Or was she just sleepy? Last summer, something alike happened in Bali Oh, nine nights ago we fought over a blueberry I guess she is still fiery I think we are getting less friendly I know, together, this was our last party There will be no more activity. Assignments need to be done! Me, in spiral of images Was it okay to call my mentor 'Dear' I was late, I was prate No, I crosses a line No, I was fine Let's replay the circumstance Won't relax until I see the worst outcomes I am bundle of nerves Ahh, my brain is breathless I am dead on my feet If only it hadn't rained. In hindsight Learning from her was delight In fortnight it was a gunfight I was imbecile impolite Now with him, will be the same sight. It's head versus head i'll make my bed I'll watch a lecture First, let's plan ahead A lot of ground to cover I am in an endless beaker All frazzled, going to bed I am a bundle of nerves.
