Verses

Broken eye of the world

Oh, I love how the world sees me,
A lunatic with a soul but no heart,
The man of science who lacks art,
Let me shout the emptiness you impart.

I can bestow infinite knowledge and wisdom,
Against the weight of humans on a dystopian system,
But alas, I lack the empathy that you prefer,
And closing your mind, you still expect me to transfer.

Can someone give me a glass of water?
Here, I have just returned from a slaughter,
All I want now is a world with laughter,
For all, don’t we need to close the chapter?

I wish to be back in the jungle,
For there, my life will not be a struggle,
My life and work shall not have to juggle,
Finally, I can wear a crown and be my own Mughal.

Here, I am not a man of faith,
They choose to call me anti-saint,
I would prefer the word Devil in constraint,
But riddle me this, what shall we gain?

Can I assume that you know some numbers?
Please solve for my value as I slumber,
My eyelids are weary and starting to be a burden,
But in a world of numbers, should you still be uncertain?

Would you please come and join the hands?
Let’s put aside all our demands,
Show the world that together we stand,
Let’s see where your creativity lands.

Oh my lovely lady, I still lack the art,
For that matter, I am never smart,
I cannot divide my heart and make it compare,
Alas, I have given you my whole heart, not just a part.

Uncertain of this world, here I am, still carrying guilt,
I may have hurt you while trying to rebuild,
Should we divide this dystopian society into a split,
To finally change the world and pledge to commit.

The Face of Dark

I wish to be the face of dark,
Where light ends up till me,
And I could swallow up the grave,
But help me God, I am not so brave!

The darkness clinches me time and again,
Through the light of sun and the moon,
But there is no place for light in me,
For this, I demand to be the face of dark!

For what its worth,
Failure are not my barriers,
That just makes me strong,
But alas,
This world is my fear,
As it does never hear!

The sun may shine bright,
But it is not eternal,
Sooner or later it’ll turn into an arc,
And then;
I shall be the face of dark.

Where does the moon shine without the sun?
One night, it will too be gone,
It will be the day of mine,
Replacing brightness, I shall shine.

Don’t take me wrong,
For the sun been gone,
I shall also be transient,
And won’t last long.

I don’t want to be feared or hatred,
I won’t let you be betrayed,
We’ll work together and mine gold,
May we all flourish together till out old.

A marble; or her eyes?

Have you see a piece of marble?
A piece so beautiful, you can’t take your eyes off,

A piece so mesmerisingly stunning,
It clears the pinnacle of enchantress,

Resting itself on the level of a goddess,
A synonym of Venus where Aphrodite wishes to be,

Like a breeze in a sunny day,
A divine shelter on pouring rain,

A drizzle on heatwave,
And a bubble of air for my asphyxiating lungs.

All in all,
I can see my world in her eyes,
A world whose gateway can only accessed by fixating our eyes,

And her,
She shows me a world through her gaze,
A universe whose center point lies in her pupil,

Where my clock remains still and fixated at her,
With a feel of calmness relaxing me outside this reality,

A achromatic sheet engulfs me as a whole,
Where I don’t want to open my eyes,
And find her not by my side.

And yet you feel it

She came into my life unannounced,
And saw a dagger placed in my heart,
A dagger of pain which was thriving,
Based on its existence I was surviving.

The pain was merely a fixation,
My own source of self-dedication,
To keep me within my motivation,
And prevent me from my aggression.

She looked into my eyes and said the words,
Which felt relaxing like humming of the birds,
But the meaning for me was a total absurd,
For every word she said was never before unheard.

Now all she wanted was to free my heart,
But the dagger was cast in the weaker part,
From which will only come out ripping it apart,
For me, my life is not about a restart.

This is my life and I have to make peace,
The chambers within are in permanent lease,
I have to leave it in or the pain shall increase,
Leaving behind you, I don’t wanna be deceased.

My grim

Every day I sleep with the pain in my mind,
Something I feel as subtle but evident blow in spine,
A sensation that I feel being clinched from behind,
Like the water deep beneath the sea keeping me bind.

I saw a mermaid down there aiding me her hand,
Of all I know till now she seemed so kind,
She took me to her house and then we dined,
She introduced me to her family and we intertwined.

She told me her husband used to mine,
But now he is useless since he is a blind,
She asked my help and request us to combine,
To her our world above the water is unkind.

But the world beneath the water has me declined,
Since this world has not included me in its design,
For me this is the greatest find,
Centuries of hiding below the sealine.

This is the time for me to outshine,
I went to the shaft and my job was assigned,
But I had legs and my destiny was defied,
I had to work twice and could never recline.

I look at them and feel I was the one refined,
The one who could never eat again the fruits with rind,
For all I know someone waiting for me at the shrine,
To be together in the world above where time is undefined,
And freedom from the water that makes me feel confined.

I wake up from my dreams and find my wine,
Sitting there in the nightstand beside my brine,
I feel that the world where I live is unkind,
For all, my love here is unrefined.

All I thought our stars were aligned,
That the connection of our heart was affined,
But the feelings were not mutual and kind,
The reasons were unknown and I could not find.

The day we first met makes my mind remind,
How unlucky was I to ignore those sign,
For all I know she is gone and vanished in skyline,
And the sensation of her love will never be mine.

But I will be waiting for you in the same shrine,
For me to be yours and you to be mine,
I know this is a game of mighty divine,
As I listen to my heart before my mind.
