The Bridge

Sunset showed us paradise
Right here, on this bridge.
It was where he had learnt to walk...
But never realized the pain
Of falling and not finding a hand.
It was here where 'she' had happened to him
But he never realized the pain
In smiling, at an incurable disease.
It was here where a boy had
Once brought flowers for his dream;
It was here where his reality had
Walked over them without looking back;
It was here where autumns had seemed beautiful
It was here here the autumns turned pale
And it was here where rains
Had suddenly turned compassionate one night
Everything but the bridge changed;
It stands the same way, a patient witness...
And this bridge, he believes so,
Shall recognize him even today as the boy
Who had seen the true colour of sunset.

The Song Of Richard Brown

Watching the palette, spoke a bemused Richard Brown "Must I pour bright red all over your gown ? Make a soporific colour for your half closed eyes With thick oil and paints to blend your lies. Just above your temples a scintilla of violet And your cheeks below dry, no, maybe a little wet; The tranquil shade of the smile on your lips Hiding behind your nonchalant golden hair wisps..." The brushes of Richard Brown danced along And the cerulean composition became a song He watched beauty carve out of creative stains And from terra incognita came rushing his pains Washing his brush, said he in a voice weak : "Elizabeth, there's a promise you failed to keep. For now, you are looking into my eyes, straight A thousand years is perhaps a long wait In this picture shall I watch your eyes Never losing those dreams over the endless skies Look, your lips are red, brighter than the rose The song's been written, the diary's 'bout to close..." Standing up, Richard...

The Time Machine

As I face the small time machine And the wires cuddling each other Like sinners in love, I find my answer. 'Go back and save yourself', they say; 'Go back and this time get your girl' 'You can undo your bicycle accident' 'Why don't you edit your career now?' 'You can correct every error you've ever made' 'You now know what you shouldn't have done' 'Why don't you stop yourself from going To that coffee shop on the 18th of May?' 'Go back and post that letter a little earlier' 'Don't forget to slap that sick professor' 'Go back and tell your friend the truth About her husband, without any fear' They all want me to erase All the wrong footprints on The sands of time, and they want To have a better life, A corrected, proofread life, Using my little machine; But will I be the same person Once my mistakes get undone? I press the key, turn the dial And find myself befo...

Like The Evening Bird

Consanguinity has shown its most beautiful face In yours, Mother, that is the only face of God That I have seen and believed in. However dark the night may be In your bower there is always light. Over me, always, was the better blanket; The unburnt bread always on my plate. Weird were your ways of saying how Unconditional your care is; Your love unquantifiable. But wounds are destined to efface; After the last scar smiles;  The way back always ends  In your assuasive embrace; No matter how long it takes, To you I shall return, just like how The evening bird After a day's carefree wandering Finally realizes how dark it is getting, And flies back home.
