Rain - A curse

Rain evokes fond memories of a hilly village

Magically transforming the idle soil green

Springs drooling towards the river downhill

Barren canal uphill raising pool of tadpoles  

Paddy fields brimming again before harvest

Transformation of a lean river into a monster

That overpowers the old stone bridge ferociously

But it never took any life nor displaced people

 

Now, rain evokes haunting memories of a forgettable past

Echo of the rain droplets brought life back to scars in the heart

Bringing back the shades of beloved voices that opted silence

Along with the dreams and romances that they left behind

The untold truths are hiding in some distant hearts for long

Leaves the mind emotionally drained and craving for closure

Making the lonely nights unbearable with endless thoughts

Depraving the mind peace and sleep, an unforgiving torture

Darkness

There is light in the darkness

There is silence in the darkness

There is joy in the darkness

There is naughtiness in the darkness

There is emptiness in the darkness

There is soul in the darkness

There is love in the dark

There is pain in the dark

There is weakness in the darkness

 There is inspiration in the darkness

Some Moments

Some moments bring happiness

Some moments impose pain 

Some moments are cherished 

Some moments are beginnings

Some moments are endings 

Some moments are disappointing 

Some moments define life 

Some moments change life 

Some moments captures love

Some moments captures heartbreak

Some moments captures death 

Some moments are hard to forget

Some moments are painful to remember

But those moments are here to say

Deep inside the heart forever

Give back

Give back my right

Give back my land

Give back my pride

Give back my soul

Give back my values

I wish to live with freedom

I wish to live with peace

I wish to live with equality

Even for one day here

I live in this soulless state

Where passion is seen during cricket

Or during a war

Where everyone is corrupted in mind

I live in this lawless state

Where anyone can kill at will!

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
