Lost And Uncrossed

You might say I barely noticed you
But then you would have me wrong
I was just trying to find my way
To find where I truely belong

For I could not let myself be them
In the race of rodents, another rat
But wanted to seek my own adventure
And now I sound like Schrodinger’s Cat.

They say life is bowl of cherries, perhaps
In a room full of hungry people!
And I would rather to step outside
To see some crimson petals.

But you, I did notice!
In the soothing daybreak of winter,
The Sun peeped from behing the willows
Your eyes would shine like a splinter

Well sometimes you ought to let go
Its what I have known throughout
So long as you walk your own path
Its okay to miss out.

But at times, I do feel like a fool
And wonder what went wrong
I was just trying to find my way
To find where I truely belong.

Of Spooks And Spectres

Last night I saw a man cycling
His way through the moonly trance
Paddled left and right, yet he barely moved
Like steps from a well known dance

And suddenly he shouted some lines
Of a mantra that Bengalis chant to the dead
But he was alone, for no one I saw
Carrying a dead body, behind or ahead

Perhaps a drunk, I assumed then but later
When I gave it some thought,
Maybe he wasn’t drunk, maybe just alone
And maybe dead, no one to carry his bod.

A spook or a spectre, or maybe just a drunk
But I saw him, sailing the moonly trance
Paddled left and right, yet he barely moved
Like steps from a well known dance!

Echos From A Sunset

Discover Prompt: Tempo

The clouds move in a fast tempo
The Earth stands grim and silent
The Sun riding the edge of the sky
With winds moist and vibrant

A faint music, from somewhere far
Far from the cities and towns
Perhaps someone’s playing a flute
Sounds like blues and browns

While notes from the flute, sharp and discrete
Come reaping the blue blanket
Like a fading song, an old record playing
Echos from a distant Sunset

Let’s Play A Game

Ask five different people to say any word of their choice.

So you end up with five random words.
Now write a blog with five sentences only, each sentence containing at least one of those five words. You have to use all the words.

Your five sentence story/poem should make some sense.

And also don’t forget to add a title to the story.

I will do the same.

Trust me its gonna be fun.


**************************************


The five random words I got are:

Beans
Walking Stick
Dynamo
Leisure
Pancakes


So here’s my take:


*************************************

An Uneventful Night

That distant palm tree, sky’s walking stick,
with wind it bends and leans!

A rain soaked night, alone in home, wish for coffee beans.

With warm milk and a cousy couch for me to spend my leisure and perhaps someone to talk and listen, well that would be a treasure.

Somewhere far, dynamo roars, running wild and high

Grey clouds, still jogging above, like pancakes on the sky!

Big Endings

Now when you scroll down,

Won’t you make a scream

For this might smell like a distant dream!

And now that it ends Y’all hear me swear

I would keep showing up but will y’all stay there?

So let’s get back to where it all started.

Before that point from where we all parted…

From that moment lights lit the sky

And we struggled to smile and say goodbye

And now I am outstation, on God knows what Express..

Yet y’all find me scribble on my WordPress

Small beginning and big Ending.

No shame in Saying, my heart needs some mending..

Do I appeal to you ,As you read me

I’ll let you know ,What you dont see

Why hold back, come and join me,

That it ends now, tell me that you need me!

So keep scrolling, adjust your screen

And I know this smells like a distant dream

And now when it ends I want y’all to scream

Like it’s something more than an ending scene!

Like this smells like a distant dream

Cause it’s something more than an Ending scene…

From long bus rides to distant walk,

Where haven’t we been y’all count me that

When we walked in our city’s Maddox Square

Saw that endless crowd, no space to spare

Saw known unknowns, well I did feel cynical

But that’s not why I being this lyrical

It’s for y’all to know, there ain’t any sequel

And when it’s gone, there’s no retrival

So does it hurt you ,As you read me

I’ll help you see, what you don’t see

Why hold back, come and join me

That it ends now, tell me that you need me.

A Sailor’s Verse

If only I could float, like you

From place to place

Without looking back with some guilt

At the port I am leaving

Where not would I go !

And where not would I reach!

The Refugee

It was just a ride

Yet the sky seemed gloom

With clouds and a cold breeze

A rain soaked afternoon.

Silence and just the three of us

Silence and not even a faint sigh

Are they living ice cubes ?

That in rain they will melt and die.

As for those who stayed indoors

With their eyes fixed on the frame

Pity for them, no mockery please

They just haven’t played this game.

Somewhere beyond the hills and hamlets

Somewhere beyond the human sea

Is a place for us, insane wayfares

Is a refuge for us, for you and me.

So I wonder…

If it was just a ride?

With thunders and stroms

And many a threatening gesture!

Three boys and three cycles

Hell Yeah! it was an Adventure.

The Battle Cry

Lift me up

Let me go…..

The Unknown

At a winter’s night
An unknown sound
While dew keeps settling
The sweating ground
But what’s that noise?
At a night so long
From an unknown place
Some unknown song!
And what’s that rustling ?
As winter breathes
Those the leaves
Of the unknown trees
Where we once stood
Hand in hand
Today I’m alone
On this distant land
My voice all stolen
Just can’t scream
Caught up somewhere
In an unknown dream!
This can’t be true
One more lie?
But the mirror reflects
An unknown guy!

The Policy Of Time

That’s the insurance policy of Time.

If somewhere it has wounded you….

…Somewhere it will heal you.
