Dreams, Last night, Poem, Spot poetry

Last night I dreamt I was alive
Last night I dreamt I saw the stars shine
Last night, I could swear I felt alive
Last night, I felt it all could’ve been fine

Was it all a dream, or was it really true
I don’t know how, let me know if you do
Last night I dreamt I saw your eyes
When I started counting all the stars in the skies

Even as the floor was on fire
And Hell burnt alive with the fruits of desire
Last night, it felt like the sea
The ocean calling out to me

The beach, each grain of sand
A moment of my life, that I could understand
Last night, it all felt so so new
Cry out, that’s all I felt I could do

Last night I dreamt I was just going
Out on the sea, on a rickety boat, rowing
Last night, I smiled as I laid eyes on the city
For the last time, for the last time in eternity

Knife through the heart

Tags

Knife, what is love, wife

There’s a knife through my heart,
A flaming, burning, butter knife
Put there, specifically to tear it apart
Put there so happily, by my wife…

As it bleeds, my heart sings
Of distances, worlds left behind
Of wondrous tales, of sufferings
Of my life, which has not been kind

Of love, like the clouds, and skies so blue
Of love, so beautiful, it must be true
That serrated blade, it sings as it twists
Oh I wish it’d rather cut my wrists

There’s a knife through my heart,
My love put it there, and there it shall stay
Reminding me of our days, sweet and tart
Reminding me of what I’d miss, if she took it away

That fire, that blade, keeps me living
That agony keeps me sane
There’s a flaming knife in my heart
And somehow, I crave the pain…

Give me a chance…

Chance, Love, Romance, Spot poetry

A chance, just a chance,
To point the stars out to you
To say your name, to hold your hands
To bring out that smile in you

To see your eyes, twinkling in the light
Twinkling with delight, twinkling in the night
To feel the warm breeze, of a sandy shore
To be with you, like never before…

To sing to you, and not have you laugh
But enjoy every word as I mean them
To welcome the sunrise, for it to be enough
Beautiful colors, as only we could have seen them

A chance, just a simple simple chance
To bring out my love, to wring out my heart,
To win you over, to have our first dance
A chance, just a chance, to see our love start…

Would you ever consider, ponder, think?
To give me the one thing I desire;
Or would you push me, over the brink
Ne’er the chance, light up that fire…?

No less, no more, a chance, just a chance,
No hidden agendas, no webbed plans
All I need, is a nod in advance
So I could show you, my version of romance…

Dreams, God, Universe

This world, this vapid world, grey
Melded, both night and squalid day
This Universe, God’s dream
Will one day end,in a spectacular way

And God will wake up, with a gasp
Like he was stung, by a bee or a wasp
And realise, that his creation doth say
Not good enough God, no way, no way!

And with a swipe, (left, not right)
He makes everything dark, as night
Fresh batches of universes, baking in a tray
Until he gets one that’s happy to say

Thank you God, for the mercies and love
Thank you God, for the breath that we take
We do not know why, do not know how
But Thank you, God, for not letting us break…

दिल हारा रे

प्यार, हार, Hindi poems

माना कि दिल ने लढना छोड़ा
तुम्हारी आंखो को पढ़ना छोड़ा
किसी की बातों का बुरा ना माने अब
कि बैर किसिसे नहीं, बस जाने दो अब

कब तक दिल में दीप जलाऊं
तुम भी नहीं चाहती, की मैं कुछ समझाऊं
सोचा ना था कि ऐसा दिन आएगा
कि दिल टूट जाएगा, दिल टूट जाएगा

हार चुका है, कण कण मेरा
प्यार का प्यासा, सूख चुका है
सिकुड़ चुका है ये मन मेरा
भूला भी वह भूक चुका है

प्यार ने कैसे कैसों को हराया
प्यार ने सबसे क्या क्या कराया
सीख लो प्यारे, प्यार ना करना
इन लफ़्ज़ों को सुनो, कि आज दिल भर आया

Spot poetry, Stars

Stars, stars, these damn endless stars
Spewn across the murky black sky
Tiny, pinpricks, glowing far
Stars, I hate them from afar

No matter how much I try, I fail
To gauge, their usefulness to me
They mock, they sneer,they glow, they pale
They taunt me with their mystery

In packs and groups, they form the signs
Astronomy, astrology, written down in wiggly lines
Constellations, novae, stars so fine
That some people even think they’re divine

Latin, Greek , and Roman names
Silly to some, to some, sailor’s games
These stars, they’re there, since ages long
And eons hence, they’ll still be strong

No matter how much trouble I’m in
No matter the hole, no matter the sin
A boatload of sky, dotted with stars
Is all it takes, free me from this infernal din

A window in a plane, me looking out
Closest I can get to the stars this life
Closest I can get to asking, to shout
Tell me your story, don’t cause me such strife
