Highway




A deserted Highway
Abandoned cars and trucks
Badly burnt
At middle of nowhere
No trace of survivors
No trace of hooligans
A story unfolded
In fields nearby
Scattered feminine attires
 And inner wears
Villagers nearby
Revealed the horror
The loot and the battering
Abductions and rapes
Desperate run to save lives
Refuge and silence
Longest wait for the dawn
Of freedom
In the jail of night
As lust and greed
Hid behind the thuggery
To chase down innocence
And erase the evidence
Journeys of joy
Turned out as nightmares
Home remained so far away
Scars of night accompanied
The escape journey
Justice remained beyond reach
As defenders of law remained

Inaccessible

Lost Love






A journey from chaos to silence was agonizingly slow
A journey from oblivion to smile was surprisingly brisk
The distance between the silence and smile is daunting 
Time flies with vanishing memories and withered bond

Strangers





Someday, we will meet, 
When we couldn't afford to, 
Somewhere midst chaos.
We never met,

When we could have, 
We had plenty of time
To explore sands and hills
Together, in search of freedom
Destiny or fate, We didn't
Our dreams withered away
In the drought of our silence,
While we weaved them in winter,
With a hope to splash in monsoon
Now the spring bloom hollow smiles
Mocking at your portrait of memoir
You will walk past me, like a stranger
With a silence that ill fits a radio
With a smile, hidden somewhere
Saying hello to an old buddy
That's all left in between us

Who is she?






Who is she?
I wonder
She came, she conquered
An angel with silky tongue
Flutters all the time
Her chirpy thoughts
With her unique, shy smile
Even as I lost myself
Looking deep into her
Tempting blue eyes
She kept laughing with immense joy
I wonder what prompts her
To come for me
Though, I am just a mute spectator
She gives surprising looks
As if asking me , where am I ?
She is  in a hurry always
Holding my hand with her velvet hand
She drags me to her favorite places
Explains every little thing
About whatever she likes
But, all I look at is her beauty
Her antics and her style
All I hear is her endearing voice
I feel she is living her life through me
Trying to find something, she lost
As she utters with a sigh
You are, you remind me
At end of our every conversation
And walks away towards silence
With her smile waning down
Like setting sun in the eve
Making way for inconsolable tears
That she prefers to hide from me
But I still wonder
Who is she!  



Well,don't misunderstand me! I am still wondering who is she. I saw her in a dream. Lol.
