The Imposter
Burning,melting like a mould of wax
taking up a shape the world wants to see
Everyday i wake up and put on a mask
Will i ever know who is the real me
loathing the face i see in the mirror
I lose this battle with my inner demons
The world opens its jaws to devour
turns stone-deaf can't hear the soul which bemoans
Apprehensions and self doubts linger
Looking back i wonder where did it all go wrong
desperation and confusion slowly overpower
Lost in thoughts,i break into a melancholic song
I Dreamed of taking the road less travelled
even before i realised i was lost in this insane crowd
heavenly detours were waiting to be unraveled
but i was blinded by the dazzle of the enticing new world
There are false promises and shattered dreams
All i need now is some sort of reassurance
my faith is shaking like an earthquake it seems
Reality is hard to face how i wish to always be in a trance
P.S. Okay i am very bad at this and somehow i always end up writing sad poems but i had to write something to keep my blog alive .On a lighter note i am sharing a little incident about this punjabi guy in my office.This guy has a bengali friend who always accompanies him to a tea stall near his place.The bengali friend helped him learn a sentence in bengali "mashi 2 to cha" which can be translated to "aunty 2 cups of tea please".It so happened one day that the punjabi guy went alone for tea and on that unfortunate day dear mashi ma/aunty ji was not present and a little girl was at the tea stall.So our punjabi munda goes and utters the sentence which he was rattofying on his way towards the stall without even underatanding the meaning.
punju to girl:"mashi ma 2 to cha"
Girl:Stands still with a perplexed look

SOLITUDE
The glorious sun rises from the horizon
The sky slowly changes hues
From pitch black it starts turning crimson
Soon sadness fades and a ray of hope within my heart ensues
I can hear the birds chirping
I lose myself in the beautiful melody
Suddenly I see myself smiling
All that prevails now is divine serenity
The flowers start blooming and let
out an intoxicating fragnance
Bees swarm to suck their nectar
Its like an enchanting romance
I stand amazed and watch like a devout spectator
The trees sway when the wind blows
The rustling of the leaves is music to my ears
The cows moo in faraway meadows
They are in a jubilant mood it appears
The ocean waves crashing against the rocks
Break the silence that sorrounds
The blue devil no more mocks
Its sheer euphoria that abounds
Millions of stars twinkling in the sky
Seem to me as prying,blinking eyes
As I stand alone heaving a deep sigh
I find solace under the starry night this
Loneliness I no more despise
I never went around seeking solitude
Like a soulmate it found me
It helped me determine my altitude
Soon there was happiness and glee

POEMS
Aaj Phir...
Aaj Phir kyun yaad aa rahe ho tum
Aaj phir kyun hai hawaon mein woh masti ghum
Aaj phir kyun hai palkon mein yeh nami
Aaj phir kyun mehsus hone lagi tumhari kami
Aaj phir kyun hai Charon taraf gham ke yeh saye
Aaj phir kyun aankhon mein hai aansu aye
Aaj phir kyun Charon taraf hai ajeeb sa sannata
Aaj phir kyun is dil mein hai tumhara hi naam goonjta
Aaj phir kyun dil karta hai ki keh daloon woh ankahee batein
Kate maine kaise woh din aur dard bhari raten
Aaj phir kyun mar jaane ko dil chahta hai
Aaj phir kyun yeh dil kisike yaad mein tadapta hai
Aaj phir kyun sochne laga yeh mann bawra
Kya pyar mein aisa hi hota hai…???
Thoughts in solitude....
She cried herself to sleep
Afraid someone might see her weep
She tried to sleep….
But all she could do was toss and turn
In her bed
Coz it was difficult to bear the
Turmoil in her head
Somehow she went to sleep
And saw a nightmare
Which made her ponder
Why cant life be a little more fair
She bore all the pain in her heart
And wondered why is it that people
Meet and depart
She listened to all her friends’ woes
And thought why the pain never goes
She sought peace and solace
Trying to keep up with the
hectic life’s pace
She tried to escape this mess
And runaway
She wanted an escapade
And a getaway
She tried to be among people
Making merry so that
She too could be happy
She was shattered to realize
No one noticed her own misery
She longed for some one to comfort her
She longed for someone to wipe away
Her tears
She walked in the rain
Because no one would know if
She smiled or fought back her tears
And winced in pain…
p.s. I know these are really senti poems but not written on account of any personal experience.
