An Evening At The Shore...

In this small stupid world
you stand near the shore and cry

Wondering whats wrong,
wishing for the bad times to fly

The water flows over your feet
covering it with beach sand

Questions boggle your mind
like you are on no man's land

Handful of sand, making a fist
life flows out, between the fingers

Fear of strangeness, hovers
in your skin it lingers

The blue shade of light projected
the moon is white, wolves howl

You sit down with your head down
crying over the foul

A voice in your head gives you wisdom
tells you, "what you are doing is out of boredom"

Go home and take rest, things will be fine
don't worry about life, keep up the zest.....

Do I Dare Ask?

Why can't we be free,
from the shackles of god or man made rules

Why can't we think beyond,
the guidelines of 'experts' on life!!

Why can't we speak our minds,
to millions who are listening and
to those who are not

Why can't there be multiple interpretations,
of signs of wisdom, of philosophies of life and
of the scribbled notes on the post-it

Do I dare ask.....
I dare and ask.....

Making Ends Meet

I was standing at the coast of the sea
When a little boy came up to me

Asked me to look at the two islands ahead
They are so far away, he said

Will the ends ever meet he asked
I shrugged my shoulders, he gasped

He walked away with sadness on his face
I pondered over what he had said, in his place

Wondering whether ends will ever meet
or we'll be stuck with lots of mud and sleet

Wondering whether things will move on
or just stay they way they've been going on....

The little boy jumps with joy
tears blow away, he shouts
I believe......

Serenity

Blades of grass, pure green
dew on the surface, in its teens!!

Bark of a tree, moss on the foot
rustling leaves, with my boot

Flower petals scattered on the path
archway of trees is what I've got

Winds are pleasant, weathers changing
you spin around, no-ones gazing

Hop and skip, and a jump
feeling of joy, without a bump

Cool canals, lovely water
pebbles under, green frogs a hopper

Splash of water, feels cool
come, take a dip in the serenity pool!!

Contradictions

Pieces of life on the grave,
lay still
no winds, no sound, plain silence
lay still

Am I dying for you, I
lay still
I sit here and weep, tears
lay still

Stuck in this moment of spook, eyes
lay still
Dark side puts a shadow, I
lay still

Fear gives me the shivers, I
lay still
Why the grimness, why I
lay still?

Wheres your cuppa?

Pouring down, a cup of tea
from the metal kettle
steam rises up
in a chair you settle

A tray brings the cup to you
you pick it up, burn your fingers
as the cup is hot
the pain still lingers

The idea is to make you feel refreshed
sucking out all the stress
to restart your brains
taking them away from the usual mess

The cup is over, I feel cool
I crave for more
Wheres your cuppa?

-kd

Did I steal from your skies?

The shiny stars, light years away
is yours to keep
Millions of asteroids crackling up
will never weep

Soft and comfy, are the clouds
they stick to you
Hazy mist, up there
looks grey rather than blue

Dusty particles, looking brown
float in the air
Smoke rises up, in a cool way
after a sudden flare

Gravity hits, pushes stuff down
rainy water slippery lanes
watch your step
or you might cry in pain....

Frequency

How many times,
have you picked up your cellphone
and wanted to call someone,
but restrained for some strange reason

How many times,
have you gone across brilliant book titles
picked up one,
but didn't read after a few pages

How many times,
have you bought something to eat,
thats your favourite, but
is lying in the fridge for ages

How many times,
have you picked up your diary and a pen
and decided, from today you'll start writing
but never did...

How many times,
have you wondered, how certain things
make sense to others while
you don't understand a shit...

How many times...
will you try to answer questions
which have been never answered...

Randomness

Green leaves, shining through the sunlight
illuminates your mind
Makes you think, whats going on?

You look on, the horizon is infinite miles away
up there the sun shines with all its might
You still think its all useless, you think....

Raindrops could touch your face, and
trickle down like tears,
no-one would know if you cried

The wet mud could be smeared on your face
and you wont recognize yourself
Washed away...

You think your just stuck here
you think you are just waiting for things to happen
or make them happen
can you?

The art of noise in life,
the feeling of confusion
the randomness

Karma Cocktail

Things that you do
Things that you don't
Things you want to do
Things that you don't

Its all mixed up
Its all scattered
Extreme variety, very extreme
Sense of consciousness, dazed

The feeling of flying,
The feeling of dying
The feeling of being there
The feeling of being alone

Its still mixed up
Its still scattered

The cold winds on the top of the hill
Where you received happiness and a strange zeal
Idyllic environment, shouting souls
freaking cold, freezing to death

Flying dragons, breathing fire
Right behind you
Burning cloth, burning skin
its all a dream to scare.

Moving in circles,
boomerang hits you
you remember your deeds
somethings new

Unbreakable...

Imagine a world of zillion people
two stand apart

each one on the other end of the spectrum
trying to make a living, to sustain themselves

One is weak, the other strong
broken bones, you never know whats wrong

One is poor, the other rich
agonizing life, like its in a ditch

One cries, the other laughs
miseries are plenty, worse when morphed

One has the guts, others a coward
courage in the hearts, to move forward

One thinks about the future, other dwells on the past
making the present more attractive, which will forever last

Broken wings of life, can be put together
you are one, soul is......

Leaving Crumbs Behind..

Tapping my fingers onto the table
pondering hard, over things

Wondering if I could ever reverse time
Do something, I haven't done
Something which is unattainable now
Could have been close to me then

I always believed its better late than never
but somethings are lost if your late

I'm leaving crumbs behind
as they hurt, if I take them with me

The empty cup of stains,
has a crack now
it looks at the world with the same eyes
as before

Why can't I ?

-kd

Wake me up...

Woken up by the sounds of silence
in the middle of nowhere
I search for reality
can't seem to find it anywhere

The look of fear in my eyes
like the worst has happened
No-ones around here to talk
just the pictures of my nightmare
ready to stalk

I breathe heavy
heartbeats are racing
cant understand the thin line
between the reality and the dream.

Certain degree of tension
certain disorientation
I dont know why the sedation
I dont know why the nightmare

Empty Box of Crayons

Black and white, grainy scene
Colours are nowhere to be seen

The rose is white, The sky is gray
The air is still, dust makes the way

The bees are buzzing, squirrels are running
searching for colour, they may be grumbling

The sun shines in white light
blinding, people with no sight

The light gray bench in the park
I sit there until its dark

Pondering over the colourless,
Where is it?

-kd

Cloudy

I look out the window of this airplane
I see clouds, soft and white

They seem like candy floss to me
Wish I could eat one here

The sun burns from a distance
rays crash into the clouds

Millions of colours are formed
The word 'scenic' is defined

A clear space between
the sky and the clouds
the airplane flies freely

A smooth pace,
A steady speed
water below shines, reflects the sun

cloud cover gets dark soon,
turbulence hits us
"This is you Captain speaking"
"fasten your seatbelts"

Raindrops on my window
dark blue is the sky
Cloudy day it has been
I dunno why....

-kd

Drops

A little drop of heaven, melting under the sun
flowing down ice valleys, like its so much fun!!

Crystal clear, refracted rays
touch the ice without any haste

Meandering down, to its destination
adding volume, to its composition

The last drop falls down,
adding coolness, to the water found....

Cliffhanger

My foot skids on the edge of the cliff
a pebble falls thousands of feet below

holding on to the rope
trying to hang on
living a dream or may be
trying to live my life

I know you are there, right there
just around the corner
but you are not alone

May be you want the same thing I want
may be you want what I wish for
Sometimes I cannot understand
most of the times I don't get it

-kd

Mute

Still winds, leaves on the ground
footsteps crunching them away

Moisture in the air
woolen muffler might do the trick

Words don't flow out
I don't hear any voices

The honk of the taxi
the screech of the brakes
too much noise
Don't know what it'll take

Don't know where life is heading
Don't know where it'll break
or will it,
Questions are millions
Answers are billion
Mute-ness is trillion

-kd

Coolness

Chilly winds blowing on my hands
gives me goosebumps
its dark out there
just the moonlight

Stars are shining
some are twinkling
some are trying.

A cold stare
A shiver runs down my spine
a feeling of being crippled
for life

The frost on the ladder
on the corner of the street
near the garbage bins
is melting

Roads are slippery
The snowmobile doesn't start
the shovel's frozen to the ground
the beggars looking for a place to sleep

Eyes could be wide shut
on that comfortable bed........

-kd

Sound of silence

Making sense of this silence
quiet as it seems, also dense

The rusty tinge of blood
hangs heavy in the air

Walls are discoloured and yellow
they smell of darkness, and sound hollow

Spiders and bugs creep along
Dust on lamps shows when are turned on

A crack of thunder, a bolt of lightning
shadows can become very frightening

It begins to rain outside, heavily
fears is washed away, quickly
