Recurring Smile

Sharp moves,
Brilliance sprouting,
Statically sweating,
At the edge of seat….
On the black and white board,
Through nervy games,
With every check I confront,
Cant help a recurring smile…

Speedy moves,
Pursuing the goal,
Profusely sweating,
Adrenaline rushing,
Kicking the black and white sphere,
Through overwrought games,
With every kick,
Cant help a recurring smile…

Swift moves,
Elegantly budging,
From key to key,
Transcending to another world,
Shoving on the black and white piano,
Through lilting melodies,
With every compressed key,
Cant help a recurring smile…

Every entity
Black and white….
Cant help a recurring smile…
Remind they do, of those…
Sharp,
Brilliant,
Edgy(while looking at me!)
Speedy,
Swift,
Elegant,
Transcending,
Lilting,

Recurruing

Eyes!

Oh My Thoughts!

Perplexity misting lucidity
Lucidity unraveling perplexity
Again peeling off into lucidity
The core is lucid or otherwise
Is yet another perplexity..

Dense when I blithely blether
Denser still when silence steals within
Sometimes levity prevails
Sometimes to lampoon giving in..

Unknown roots
Unfathomable depths
Unconquered expanse
Unimaginable impact…

Immuring me in the labyrinth
A prisoner of freedom
A Freedom to prison thoughts
Blending the oxymoron into one…


Yet I let….
But why?

such vastness to be
Shrunken by a single notion?

Such versatility to be narrowed
into one single thought?

Such density to be slimmed
By a single deliberation?

Such amorphous sea to be replaced
by a human form?


(Call it rationalization
Or intellectualization….)

I am not letting anymore..

I am shut to Love!!

The Black n White Dream

Our dreams poles apart

Ours and theirs…

Dreams come in black and white, they say

And ours was no exception…

Bloated and swollen with accumulated aspirations

Black and white alternating,

Our dream lay in the midst..

Ever since the battle kicked off,

We too have been..

Kissing victory or espousing defeat

The next few minutes will decide…

Eleventh hour we have arrived at

The eleven of us.

And towards the goal we run…..

And what a goal it was!!!!!

Where..?

It is not the sulci and gyri,
they listen to me
It is not the four chambers
they seem unperturbed in the beat

Where do you reside, tell me
Where are you in me,
Where i have no say,
And where stillness is the living way

"Where life resides in you" he asked
"Where death whistles its arrival
Where joy dwells, peeping now and then
Where search is futile yet the fulcrum"

He smiled.
And me too
"Where this smile roots from"
And i smiled even more....

When I...

When I speak,
You are the silence that creeps in,
The irrelevance that intrudes
The stutter that frequents
And the words that I never sound

When I see,
You are the space I gaze into
An absent look I pretend
The shape that takes every particle beyond eyes
And the mirage I feign that it is not one

When I walk,
You are the parallel I sought
But I hear the footsteps within
You are the fingers that I craved to hold
And the tremor that haunts mine

When I think,
You are the thought I hanker and dread
You are the sole tenant of my mind space, and the vacuum
You are the question I ponder
And the answer I never try to seek

When I live,
You are the breath I hold, and renounce
You are the search, the reach
You are the pain I stomach
And the life I lack


When I sleep ,
You are the darkness that clutches me
The tears that wet my pillow, swearing each time as last
You are the sleep I long for
And you are the long sleep....
