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


 Rain, Raindrops, Seasons, Water, Macro, Road, Way

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
