Asylum


Asylum
A bordered world
Patrolled by armed men
Radars, fighter planes, and ships
Seeking the blood of perceived enemies
Yet some of them breach the borders to bomb
Imaginary or futuristic threats away from the shores
Taking innocent lives for no fault of theirs, but for greed
Dismantling the lives of millions in their own homelands
By making them refugees at the mercy of neighbors
Brave hearts risk their lives and march with a hope
Through tough terrains battling adverse weathers
Militants, Traffickers, rogue patrols and open sea  
Holding breath against death at times of trouble
To reach a faraway safe land to start lives again 
Seeking asylum away from shattered homeland
To live, work, and save every penny they can    
To build a nest of safe future for themselves
And for uplifting lives of the loved ones left behind
With a wish for reunion someday in the new shore

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

Lost Portrait


She sat on the white sands
Of a lonely, get away beach
Keeping her chin rest upon
On folded legs, she gazed
At the symphony of waves
She shared her thoughts,
With the meditating waves
She received vibe of peace
 To calm her exuberance
About a secret romance   
Naughty breeze dillydallied
With her short beach drape
While the shallow lagoon
In her backdrop, sought
Impressions of her beauty
Voyeuristic sun smiled at her
While portraying her curves
Precisely on the sand canvas
She surrendered herself to sun
For a golden tan, for a surprise
She waited for the splashy sunset
To welcome the charming moon
To lit her evening with her man

Drowning Bridge


It stood tall for years
Slicing down the distance
Meeting the ends of two hearts
With its panels across the destiny
Sending the messengers to exchange
The news and goodwill
It grew in stature as the symbol of bonding
It saw the fondness blooming like spring
It saw the summers and winters of friendship
It saw the cajoling romance and bitterness of fights
It hoped to remain as the rope between them forever
But, one moment of madness or craziness of fate
It sank slowly, without catching fire, without screams
Silence mourned its slow drowning on one side
Noisy memories kept yelling at it to hold on other side
The remnants of that bridge remain floating
Hoping for a miraculous renaissance

Welsh Traitors

They roam right after the winter
Grazing the overgrown lawns
Of welsh valleys


Unfazed by the onlookers gazing
They are the darlings of misty Wales
They outnumber the welsh speakers

But, once we cross the Severn bridge
And if we find one of them
Grazing the English grass


My pony tailed welsh friend would yell
You traitor, what are you doing in England?
You are welsh, you go back to homeland

It’s just sheeps, and all they care is grass
But they are welsh traitors in England
