THE POEM MACHINE

A BEAUTIFUL WORLD

2010-04-06T00:49:00.009-05:00

An attempt to make 1411 a better number....!!!....

Amidst killers and loss of virtue
You are an impeccable creation
But I will have to leave you
For, from your killers i cannot run

Not yet, your death is premature to come
But soon will your killers pass by
But before they find you and their prey you become
Like every mother, I will beg them to tell me why?

Flawless you are, ignorant too
That your desparate gait will be in vain
But your death will not be true
For, your memories will aways remain

When the skies above turn grey from blue
When out goes the blazing the sun
The Master will still look down on you
Even as you leave his beautiful creation

But my child, before you leave
A tapestry of love shall you weave
The threads of which will bind
Your killers and their brutal mind

Leaving you and this beautiful world is my dying body
But with you, my heart and memories shall remain
You may waver like the waves, but not weary
You shall rise and conquer these shores again

The Invisible Thread

2010-04-01T06:35:00.000-05:00

In your dream, when you walk alone
You see things that are insane
But when you are awake, you know
That there’s much more to pain

There’s really more than you can think
Between those alive and dead
But you don’t tend to understand
Because you cannot see the thread

You see what you see
But you don’t really comprehend
‘coz from the truth you cannot flee
But you’ve got to get to the other end

There’s really more than you can think
Between the truth and what you see
But you don’t really understand
In which part you want to be

You dream gives you hope
That you can be what you want to
But when you are awake and you act your dream
You know it cannot be true

There’s really more than you can think
Between those alive and dead
But you don’t tend to understand
Because invisible is the thread

Head or Tail..?!?!

2009-07-22T13:15:00.002-05:00

Having been through tough times and high tides
I have no one but my shadow to walk alongside
I put my trust in destiny and set sail
Uncertain if it is going to be a head or a tail

Sitting on a hilltop...looking at the world below
I wonder if it had anything to give but sorrow
I hope that the pendulum of sadness fails to sway
Wonder if things would ever go my way

Waiting for my moment....I hope against hope
But I'm only hanging on to a burning rope
Is there anything to be happy about...I wonder
But every single day...to my hope I surrender

Never can we face each other...me and the luck of mine
Just like the head and tail of a coin
But I still believe that everything will be alright
Afterall....the day never fails to break after the night

A Long Wait...

2007-04-26T06:40:00.000-05:00

Days have come and days have gone
I see in my heart.....a stitched thorn
It sure is true and can't be wrong
My love for her will never be gone!

I see the rain pour down through the sky
In tears am I....when I watch her fly
The world is ignorant coz through the rain I cry
To lay my love on her.....as hard as I can....I try!

Lost in love I am.....sleeping as much
Waiting for her to wake me up with her soothing touch
A source of strength she is....I use her shoulder as my crutch
Just unable to tell her....I am not a liar as such!

Driven am I so beautifully by the bond that we share
To find someone like her......is so very rare
Not a chance there is......that a mask I wear
It is nothing but the love for her....that in my heart I bear!

I've always held her so close to my heart
Now she has grown closer to me than my very heart
All this while she has been with me in this wheel of cart
I've learnt to live life and I owe everything to her part!

At my best I am when I'm with her....and I stand really tall
Even a moment away from her.....I hear the 'THUD' of fall
With her around me.....love and happinesss is all
I will wait through eternity for her heart to return my call!

Two Years to Experience......Two Years to know

2007-02-06T11:36:00.000-06:00

Stranded on the streets, I didn't know where to go
Saw the others go and followed with the flow

Across those gates there was so much to know
Ignorance lingered all over like a shadow

As I entered, my feet moved slow
Coz I was new and had nothing to show

Shaking hands and making friends,I no more felt hollow
I learnt to mingle and learnt a little more

Peaople all around had a smile to show
I learnt to smile and learnt a little more

As I passed teachers,I began to bow
I learnt to respect and learnt a little more

With love all around,hatred was the foe
I learnt to love and learnt a little more

With someone,when I had an odd row
I learnt to forgive and learnt a little more

During the tough days,I felt a little low
I learnt to pick up and learnt a little more

Tough days continued and the good ones came slow
I learnt to be patient and learnt a little more

At every other barrier,bravery was the synonym for go
I learnt to be brave and learnt a little more

Every misery was fought and happiness had to follow
I learnt to fight and learnt a little more

Every single time I was shown the door
I learnt my way in and learnt a little more

Sown as a seed, I was left to grow
I learnt to grow and learnt a little more

Passion was the word that kept me on the go
I learnt to be passionate and learnt a little more

To reach tomorrow,I had a day to go
I learnt to live the day and a learnt a little more

There were no goals and I had no motto
I learnt to set goals and learnt a little more

I Learnt to know and I learnt to grow
I learnt to learn and learnt a little more

A Saucerful Of Secrets

2007-01-11T11:11:00.000-06:00

The world often turns its back on you in the worst of times
You feel like a caged criminal without any crimes
Longin' for warmth....you look up to someone to hear "all is well"
N' if they too turn their backs on you....Life becomes a synonym for hell

They gave you love n' care which were nothin' but impostors
To believe this harsh fact....you aint masters
As it begins to sink in...you try to fight it
Eventually you give in....as you lack the grit

Durin' these days.....you realize what life really is
With every step that you take.....a barrier exists
These barriers shape n' mould you into masters
They teach you how to treat those very impostors

Ironically,you take in those harsh facts n' become harsh yourself
This in turn imposes harsh facts on the people you once looked up to
Thus.....the cycle continues n' life revolves around itself
In the end.....A Saucerful Of Secrets is what it leaves for you

Me Myself n' I

2007-01-11T10:02:00.000-06:00

Followin' the shriekin cries of a beautiful lady
He made his way into this beautiful world
It aint all that beautiful he thought as he made his way
For,he wailed aloud n' they were all happy n' gay

Holdin' the fingers of his mother....he learnt to walk
Observin' the lips of his father....he learnt to talk
He saw his world in the two of them
N' it seemed all beautiful to him

Wailin' n' unwillingly goin' to school..he din't wanna get rid of those fingers
Away from them,an uncertainy always lingers
He was scared to meet new people n' scared of everythin' around him
Without a choice,he left his world behind n' entered the one awaitin' him

Lookin' back at his childhood....he wondered what he was scared of
The irony was that fear is all that he was made of
A fear which made him so very narrow
An uncertainity walked with him like a shadow

Day in n' day out he came up with unanswered questions
He'd been walkin' alone in search of suggestions
Now he's all down n' broken.....his life lacked smiles,laughters n' cheers
Even the liberty of cryin was stolen.....as he was left with no tears

Somewhere down the road,on the long walk
He came across people who,with him were ready to talk
The cheer of his childhood began to sway
The unanswered questions faded away

He brought them the same cheer that they brought him
Suddenly....happiness seemed to have filled up to the brim
Toghether they reached for the sky which no more seemed high
He then grew with happiness all around him....grew from He to I

The Incredible 8

2006-10-30T08:56:00.000-06:00

If there can be any surrogate to luv.......it is us
If in the harsh phases of life,one can find solace....it is here,with us
If thrz a place 2 experience the beauty of friendship.....this is it
If one can fall in luv...day in n' day out with the same ppl....it is us

We fill so much luv in the air around us
That thrz no room 4 hatred 2 buzz
So much luv that a minute with each other feels like an eternity
Yet,an eternity wudnt b enuff 2 describe its beauty

We are no wonders in this world around us
But it is our luv that makes this very own wonder world of ours

We are 8drops of water that combine 2 form a river
Come what may.....our luv 4 each other will flow 4 ever
We are 8stars that combine 2 form one blissfully glowing star
None can beat the light of our luv.....The Incredible8 that we are!!

Unreachable....

2006-10-27T06:45:00.000-05:00

Caught in the stare of her gleamin' eyes......I lost myself in her
She holds me right there with the unwawaverin' stare n' I cant let go of her
Those gleamin eyes are a pair of polished mirrors that reflect her heart
Even a second away from the catch of her stare tears me apart

The look of her eyes say a thousand words to me
Words that move me to tears n' stir my feelings
Words that are true though they dont seem to be
Words that bring me closer to her n' surround me

The glowin' beauty of her face has brightened my life
Now I'm out of the dark that stabbed my heart like a knife
With the soothing touch of her tender palm....my wounded heart heals
With the warmth in her gleamin' eyes......so secure it feels

She has bloomed like a garden of roses in my thorny heart
In falling in love with her.....where have I played my part???
The magical look of her eyes makes her beauty so impeccable
She is my destination.....my eternity.....which I know is Unreachable

Life Or Death???

2006-10-11T11:26:00.000-05:00

During the tough days of life I prayed for death......
Death never came to me but I longed for it
Knowing what I long for wouldn't make a difference.......
Hoping against hope I waited for it with closed eyes n' open arms
Waiting for my end......I moved on
I moved on through those tough days........
Fighting pain n' over powering destiny
The race with life was won.......
I fought through those days.....
Days,when I longed for death....
How wrong I was to ask for death......
But it was the only thing that inspired me
I knew it would come to me someday.....so I moved on
Moved on in search of death and conquered life.....
Death had to come to me........so it did
But now........I wanna live the life I conquered
Now.........I long for life......
What do I want???
What am I in search of???
Where did I begin???
Where am I headin???
I had a life.....I wanted death....
Now that i've got it....I can't live with it
Why did I want it if I can't live with it???
Do I want to just keep wanting???
Do I want to want???
Do I want to live or Do I live to want???
Do I want to die or Do I die to want???
What do I want???
What did I begin with????
Life Or Death???

The Fire Within

2006-08-25T07:26:00.001-05:00

As he moved with such grace in the grass so lush green
I saw some spirit and dedication which I'd never before seen
His grace and spirit was so very impeccable
I got the feeling that it was the one thing tht lacked in me and made him so adorable

He sat by my side and told me that it wasn't over yet
And how I needed to rebuild myself and get the stage set
He told me where I was going wrong and what I was missing all this while
And all this was told to me with a subtle but an influential smile

So,I sat down thinking that it was worth another try
After all,I deserve something more than just a cry
I gave it my best shot and put all my efforts in
And realised that the thought of giving up deserved only the bin

Thus,the fire was rekindled
The spirit was reborn
The soul was re-enriched
The faded light was re-lit

But it all ended so abruptly
I started to feel...........of all this,I was unworthy
The light that lit the darkness faded yet again
The rekindled fire had been watered and all the efforts were in vain

X-Girlfriend

2006-01-12T11:38:00.000-06:00

My X-girlfriend's out on da streets tryin' her luck
Shez out wid a guy.............n' yea he sucks

She was just the perfect gal for me I thought
But in complete false impression was I caught

I can't imagine the amount of time I spent with her
But it was too late when I realised that I can't trust her any further

She meant the world to me...........I can't believe I ever thought so
She wasn't worth me I thought..............tryin' to supress my sorrow

Yea, the parting did hurt me for some time
But later I realised that I was purely wastin' time

Coz she would get under the sheets n' do nethin for a buck
And to people like her.............I give a fuck

'One night stand' was her only fuckin' motto
Oh 'fuckin'......that probably better describes her motto

What else do I say about her???? I don't find any more brated words
My X-girlfriend that she was..........I whole-heartedly curse

P.S:- I kno U wont like this..............but I really njoyed writin' it

On The Edge Of Life

2005-11-24T00:05:00.000-06:00

Livin' on the edge of life I'm tryin' to find my way through it
But lost in darkness I am n' stand here today.....so very unfit
"Joyful moments I have'" I sang really loud
But now I realise that it was just a passing cloud

The moments i spent with her were so happy n gay
In complete loneliness..........here I am today
Lookin' back at those moments I wonder what i was thinkin'?
But when it all ended I wasn't happy.....my heart was sinkin'

I couldn't imagine anyone else in her place
Some one comes up to me,'I can keep u happy',she says
Happy.........it was an unfamiliar word to me
For nothing other than sorrow did I fancy

"Trust me as I am the one",she said
"I luv u truly" she whispered.......putting her hand on my head
I din't know if her hand promised me luv or tried to push me to the 'Edge Of Life' yet again
But a ray of hope I could see in my life..........gettin' me out of depression n' strain

It was a feeling which I never experienced
In tears of happiness was I drenched
I was in luv......far away from the harsh phases of life
Hadn't she been by my side.........I would have always lived on the 'Edge Of Life'

To Love.......Is To Be A Fool

2005-10-05T15:34:00.000-05:00

It was a dreadful and a gloomy day
I've always had something to say
But neither could i say it
Nor could she understand it

I've always been by her side,she says
In all good times and thorny ways
To her,I'm nothing more than a friend
And that thought takes me to my end

I never ever gaveup on her
Always been her crazy follower
I fought for her like a worrior
Yet,it was destined.....for me to lose her

Why did i have to undergo this?
Oh god!!I need a cozy hug or atleast a kiss
Is this all what I deserve in life?
Ah!!I feel like I'm dancing on a knife

I went through hell
Her words still ring in my ears like a rising knell
Wait....It wasn't over,I had to face some more
Guess what....she couldn't recognise me anymore

Even then,I didn't lose hope
Wanting her to come back I prayed all day
But then,I realised that our relationship was a broken rope
Nothing's gonna change......no matter what I say

By what I do and By what I say,people call me a fool
Alas!To Love Someone Truly......Is to be a FOOL

The Warrior!!!

2005-10-04T06:05:00.000-05:00

How happy was he born and taught
That serveth not another's will
But here he stands today
Ready for death and prepared to kill

He takes death almost for a ride
Longing for glory and utmost pride
The badges that you see on his chest
Make him different from the rest

He looks into the eyes of death
And tells it "I deserve another breath"
For his passions not his masters are
But only the badges and the star

Something hits him on his head
And he knows tht he is dead
Scattered he is on the sands
With broken legs and broken hands

His mistress calls out to him with a sorrowful voice
But what she can hear is only the cannon's noise
She weeps and weeps loud in despair
Though she knows that he is dead and no more there!!
