Chirping under the tree heavy
The tree cold
They said cheers to life
And tree smiled
Showering them with
Mystical snow shower

A life extraordinary
And what is that ?
Is it a dream with eyes open or shut tight
Musings of a mind free floating
A high on happiness or perchance a drug psychotic
Where senses dull and you reach out
Beyond the walls of your mind
Stepping out, stepping up
And I know it's beautiful
It's perfect, a perfect storm
Where nothing touches you
The thunder and the lashing rains
Impervious state of being untouchable
But is there a perfect storm?
For we wait all our lives for it
And the secret is everyone is perfect
Every life is
An ordinary extraordinary life
You just got to make it....

The colour of my skin
The slit of my eyes
It's different from yours
I know I don't talk like you
Don't understand your language
The culture is different from mine
The society is different
But I am just a human
Like you and everyone else
You won't understand my language
My culture, my society
My existence
So does it make me black
No.......
The only thing black are your thoughts
Which judge people without knowing them
Without understanding them
Your foundation is weak
It's crumbling everyday
So before you check mine
Make yours stronger
Make yourself more white
Inside......

-

Shadows against the grey blue sky
And nothing stays the same
The blues turn azure
The grey turns to black
It's screams shouts
Raining it's ire and
When it's done and the rage undone
The skies clear up
Turning a calm blue again
And nothing will stay the same again
Inevitability of change....

-

Until you experience it yourself
Until your experience seeps in
Entering your skin, your bones
Flowing in your blood
Coarsing through your veins
Hitting everything raw and hard
Blending with your body, mind and soul
Settling in, finding a place, making a space
Owning you, you owning it
Till then it's just an experience
And now it becomes you
Your existence
Your being
Your soul...

-

And then you go around
When you come to a dead end
You try and break down that dead end
With emotions heavy your heart thumping
You just want to carve a way
With your bare hands
Till your nails fall off bleeding, bruised
And when you can do more, exhausted
Emotionally and physically
A serenity takes over
You control your breathing
Control that fast racing heart
Look around you
Take a step back
And start climbing that wall
Sure you fall, breaking, but when you do
You know you can do anything
Cause the view from atop that wall is
Beautiful.....

अब असर से बेखबर है वो
ना बातों का जज़्बातों का
सिफ़र से शुरू है सिफ़र पे खत्म
बस सफर एक पहर इधर एक पहर उधर

-

A blanket of white to feed life
For the coarse earth to absorb rejuvenation
To soften the feelings
Moisten the emotions
Let life grow
Let life regrow
Bloom when the time comes calling
White to the masquerade of colours

-

Is it the snow or is it just me.....
Which is colder
The snow is losing the battle

एक कविता कुछ गुमसुम सी
बैठी है अकेले अपने अंधेरे संभाले
अपने ही ख्यालों में
अपने ही सवालों में घुलती हुई सी
सिमट गई हो जैसे नदी
किनारे अपने छोड़ अपने में सिमटी सी
सूखी रेत के वो किनारे कभी गीले थे
पैरों के निशान थे कभी उन पर
अब बस बहती हवा खेलती है सूखी रेत से
कोई निशान बाकी नही
कोई नदी बाकी नहीं
कविता अब एक रुकी हुई सी नदी हो गई है
