You..

You,
The spotless moon at night
Besprinkling shades of light
I stretch my hand from dark in a hope of brighter eve
You,
A beauty behind veil
Came out of fairytale
A cherished dream of time surreal to believe
You,
First shower of a rain
Reliever of my pain
Quelling deadly thirst like a spring in bare land
You,
The unreachable star
Enticing but too far
As precious things don’t lie in reach of every hand
You,
The rhythms of guitar
Melodies of sitar
I wish I sing for life euphonies of this song
You,
A Pricey beyond buy
A treasure worthy die
Like a breath for dying soul lying all along.
You,
The warm in chilling cold
A feel that can’t be told
And thousand other things unperceived by the sense
You,
The mystifying tale
Enigma that prevail
This growing quest for you in the shadow of pretence
You,
May be the real or the myth
But the reason I still breathe
And the cause of my living; this life and therewith.

Dreams Unlimited

I wanna earn big money whose supply never ends

A BMW parked in porch with gorgeous girlfriends

Every morning I should wake with maids all around

Put velvet slipper inside feet as I touch the ground

Country house in Birmingham with panoramic view

A garden full of colored rose draped in crystal dew

While flying in my private jet I could touch the star

Peg of Scotch in my hand and puffs of Cuban cigar

But there are some priceless things I wish above all

I would put my life on stake for smallest of a small

When sorrow takes over the joy and it’ll feel like cry

Promise me shoulder to weep before tears go dry

Whenever I feel tired and want to have some nap

Bless me pat from father and sleep on mother’s lap

When last days come to end and body lays to die

Friends grieving all around with tears in every eye

History will remember me and legend will endure

Once lived a poor man whose dreams came to real.

-Rahul

I wish I hadn’t let you go...

You came to me smiling,

I remember that day.

my eyes were glued to you.

my words were without say.

How will I forget moments

merrily shared with you.

But they will live so shorter

I never had a clue.

Didn’t you hear my screech?

whining through that night.

Shattered you left me chase

your last dimming sight.

You will leave for ever

had I ever know.

seized you in my arms

to never let you go.

All it takes to heal the wound

is your gentle touch.

After suffering all this years

am I asking much?

living here a life of death

come back once to me.

promise you to take along

till the end of sea.

I feel you ever near to me

in wait of my one call.

And spread up your arms  

to forgive me for all.

You come along the first light

as night turns to dawn.

brace me tightly and just say

you were never gone.

tell me baby, just the once,

you were never gone.

Losing my mind.

I wake to see another day full of shame and disgrace

step out to lose my wounded pride bit by bit in killer race

Everyday a hopeless face looks at me with scornfulness

from the mirror raise the furor roiling blood inside veins

A drop of tear rolls down the face and heart goes into pain

I see a graveyard of my dreams graced by things I’ve gain

I blame no one for life’s misery but me and my cursed fate

Once unending pride for self, I am here with endless hate

‘what u dreamt and what u got has aught to do with luck

get up and break the shackles of grim holding you stuck’

I asked ‘who you are?’ to the voice I heard ringing aloud

Apace came the answer ‘Son, look up through the cloud!’

Awaiting Trek

Bless me Death....

Sometimes life takes you the point where you start questioning the existence of God...his Power...and his unbiased Grace. When I wrote this Poem my belief on God was shaken and I, the theist, didn't shame to curse the Almighty. 

Life is not worth shucks

can’t live it any more.

Me, like a wrecked ship

laid at distant shore.

I see the hopeless future

awaiting every morrow.

En route to my goals

boulevards gone narrow.

Was I doomed to failure

did not I give my best?

Ever in this drudgery

had I taken rest?

Oh god, you so ruthless

revel in game of breath.

I dare you prove me wrong

if not, bless me death.

My Wish......

wrote 1 year after the first poem..  


I saw one couple passing as I looked out of window
She held his hand tightly while stepping over snow
I wanted to hold you but afraid of hurting you
I want you to kill me for the crime I didn’t do


When everyone had someone to share their feeling
I spoke to myself within walls and under dark ceiling
I wanted to tell you but afraid of hurting you
I want you to kill me for the crime I didn’t do


Those last days were life-taking as you walked away
I wish you heard the feelings my heartbeats tried to say
I wanted to scream loud but afraid of hurting you
I want you to kill me for the crime I didn’t do


I dunno what brought you so close to my heart
But death is only reason that’ll separate us apart
I wanted to be alive but afraid of hurting you
I want you to kill me for the crime I didn’t do


I want you to kill me for the crime of loving you
I want you to kill me for the crime of losing you
