I remember
one fine day,
You had walked
Into the dark corridors of my life
Like the sunshine
After a long, cold, dark night.
Bringing with you
All the warmth
All the glow
Long awaited
Never felt.
I remember
Holding your
Little finger
And chasing
The wild, wild wind
Like two innocent children
In pursuit of the unknown dream.
It was pure joy.
Long awaited
Never felt.
I remember
Those moments
When your heart
Had melted in mine
And my soul in your soul
Like the scent of the soil
After a bout of fresh rains
Melts in the
Flavour of the
Monsoon wind.
It was absolute bliss
Always waited for
Never received.
I remember
One fine day
You turned and walked
Away
Without even turning to wave goodbye
Like someone
Who one day just curled up and died
And did not have time
Even to say goodbye.
It was so much of heartache
Never expected
Never felt.
I remember

Havoc struck cyclone
Threw me aghast to shrink sunk
A shrine gobbled up
Nineteen sixty four
wreathed big with uprooted lives
Dhanushkoti deep

What happens if you
wake up in the morning,
And realise there's no
air to breathe or draw
in.
Then you peep through
the window only to see
Your land melting into
the arms of the sea.
You decide to scream
but what happens if
then
You find silence, like a
military man,
Trampling over the
remnant of your land.
And while you watch
with tremulous hands,
What if darkness, like
the wind, slowly but
efficiently
Begins to eat ur your
last sense of life, of
festivity.
We can go on and ask
in every context
What happens if? What
happens next?
Enjoy and appreciate
the very minute you
are in
Because you never
really can tell what happens next.

Nothing to say?
Then turn your back and go away,
But when you find something to say.
Nothing...just come here and and pray,
Pray for your family,
Pray for your friends,
Pray for the child you hold in your hands.
Time reached the limit and you have to go,
You say you don't want to?
Then there is just one thing left to do,
Just sit there and wait for the day,
The day when i will have something to say.

Life feels right.
For once I don't wanna cry.
Lonely as I may be.
This is my reality.
Together forever.
Or forever apart.
I can't pick cause it's just to hard.
Love is love.
Love is everything.
It's what everyone is looking for.
What everyone wants.
Love is everything.
Whether you admit it or not.
I have love.
Love long distance.
Love that's just to much.
I wonder how my feelings never change.
Love is life.
Love is everything

Heard the trembling voice
Of the X’mas card I had sent
From somewhere amidst debris
Of wall and fences, man made boundaries
Oh, cruel tidal waves!
Is it the very sea waves
Once I played with songs and games
Invaded into my compound
Like devils and devils
With its sharpened nails
With its poisonous teeth
Don’t conceal
Still I see the blood of babies
And of women spilling in your jaws.
How did you become an anarchist
With such atrocities
I asked the sea
“It’s a top secret’ said she,
‘Can you shot me dead with your gun?
She asked, laughing at me for a fun.
When all gods resurrected
Corpses lying piled up in heaps
Opened their eyes and then
Closed with their hands, all of a sudden.
Noticed the tender and beautiful feet
Of a little girl lying dead among the corpses
Wrapped up on mats, projecting
“Found the place”
“Found the place where this little girl gone”
I hear the voice in my ear
The X’mas card hurried and vanished in thin air.
“Which god is responsible for all these wanton
Destruction “? I asked the sea.
She receded, muttering
“Not anything of the sort
It is all man made “
It is the story of nature
Turned once into god and then
The God was reduced to nature again.

Once your heart was embraced with the happiness
of being loved by mine
your world around you started changing
from a world of being so cold and lonely
miserable
as my heart was once in a world like that
until that day our hearts were embraced
by one another...
