Scars

The intellect becomes burdensome
and seeks a logical construct
to validate the emotions
borne off some long lost hurt
then the brazen takes over
creates the havoc
that leaves the indelible scars
on the wounded collective psyche.

Paranoia

The paranoia that you spewed
through the words that distorted
the expression;
sparked the dark anger
in the placid moment of acceptance of the craziness as mundane, dotted on the sheer sea of existence.

Misplaced happiness

Crazily when you chase it

it gets scared and hides

in the unseen nooks and crevices

of your ignorant brain

Let it follow you

through that smile on the face

of your mother who is getting older everyday

or through the hot meal on the table

which is no less a miracle of sorts

or through the shelter that your home

affords to you

or when the love of your life

gives you a hug

in the middle of the night

or when a drop of sweat

adorns your forehead

after a day of hard work

or when a sole flower blooms

out of nothingness

on your way to work…

After misplacing happiness

You have been looking at

all the wrong places.

Hiatus

It has been a while,

a little escape

a little break!

Life dropped unexpectedly

into the lap of demands

by the unknown dark forces

circling like vultures

ready to pounce

on that one piece of peace.

From the West to the East

A couple of days more
I will take the wings
And leave behind the
smells and vibes
Up above the clouds
my precious time
will be drowned into the oblivion
a day of my life
will cease to exist…
Will you ever know
that I did this for you?
