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.
