In Search of Home

Behind smokescreens
we so proudly live,

our perfectly moulded
scripted lives,

and i wander in search
of a place unknown,

where this is not
the way to be,

for mine
shattered long ago,

and another will surely
suffocate me to death.

People lie
but
muses don’t,

loyalty remains
where trust
finds a home,

a poet survives
on what he
feeds on,

yet
he takes nothing
from no one,

for he knows
nothing
he owns,

i remain human
responsible
for my actions,

but over what
the quill
writes,

i surrender
all
control.

They colour water,
in different
shades,

and then,
call it
by different names,

forgetting,
that
water,

in its essence,
still remains
the same.

Had I
had the choice
I would have left
long ago,

and I know
the loss
would still
have been mine,

so I stayed
beyond
my welcome
in some ways atleast,

for I’d rather
leave
as a flash
of lightening,

than die slowly
flickering
like the flame
of a hopeless lamp.

They
die slowly,
who know
they found,
but know
will never
experience,

yet,
inspite of
the resultant,
constantly
lingering
melancholic clutter,
they’ll still
live much
richer lives,

than those
who do get,
to have
and to hold,
but so
very miserably,
fail
to see so.

gently, intentionally
i rock
your boat,

till you lose
yourself
in the fluidity of the motion,

and till the waves
eventually
summon the high tide,

moments pass
in the nothingness
of bliss,

as the gasping wind
takes over
the sound of the waves,

and peace
prevails
of the contented kind.

ravenous appetites,
satiated
beyond desire,

the aftermath,
a peace
radiating like the sun,

pieces
of earlier moments
still catching up on their breath,

lust is so beautiful
when it is accompanied
by love.
