Red

It burns me when I see you fall

It kills me when you stall

A river of tears flow when I see you bathe in blood

When fire rains down from the sky

It burns me when I see you burn

When blood spills on roads that are dry

It cuts me through when I see bodies burn

Oh LORD, what have I done

The home I grew in

The garden I played in

Those flowerbeds I once watered

Are now they nothing more than

A house more like a ruin from past

A flowerbed home to thorns, alas!

A garden that once housed green grass

But now grass has turned red.

I cry like an orphan

They've taken everything

I saw them helplessly taking everything

I saw them burning my house

I saw them slaughtering my brothers and sisters like scapegoats

And painted my garden with their blood

I sit down

Helplessly I stare and ask

Why me??

Then I listen

Don't cry son

Its been my fate written.

When the young fall

When respect for women is nowhere at all

And the integrity of men stall

Universe witnesses

A nation's fall..

Pain

Humanized

Times when you're numb, yet you feel. Your tongue exhausts and can't speak of the pain you feel, and hands run out of the words to drain that it away. That feeling of being the only one in the whole universe, you have the whole universe at your service; the stars, the oceans, the continents... Technically, that's what being a human is all about, a ruler in own, a god in own, a ritual, a society, a whole universe in own, in simpler words these are perks of being a 'humanly human'. But who to be ruled? , who to impose the rituals on, socialise with? That's the point when we feel a complete emptiness in this whole universe. That's what happens when we attain a heaven's eye and open it just to realise the ultimate delusion.

Aura

There is this place I never knew. A place I've never been to, a place far away somewhere in the outskirts of this world I live in. I always dream about it, I always wonder how it'd be to be there. In my dream, I stand miles away from this land and watch it glow. Cattle graze in fields outside an old tavern, the morning sunrise, the mist and the smoke from the chimney mixes up to create an aura that rises an urge within me to fly there and get lost in that place.

There are these mountains beyond those green fields covered with woods. Mountains, whose peaks covered in white glitter like silver when sun shines upon them in mid day. In the midst of the field stands alone a tree, far from its folks on the mountains, a wild tree in the tame, defiant to the might of tamed, it stands tall and hold nests to birds that come home in twilight.

The aura, never vanishes, it remains in the air. Its more like standing on the top of a skyscraper and seeing a distant land in countryside, you just want to get there to get yourself free of all the hustle of the city. You know you can't run straight away, 'cause if you do you're going have a fall and get yourself departed. Likewise you don't want to go downstairs and drive to that place. 'Cause you're afraid of the site simply being a mirage, you go and it vanishes away. So its better sitting here getting lost in the aura.

Crescent

That unknown feeling, that unknown urge, gets higher everytime, take me low everytime.
Everytime I look out of window, at the full moon of 14th, it give me chills. I feel an unknown urge, I see an unknown face I've never seen, a feeling I never felt before. In that moon light I see my hands, my blood-stained hands. What did I do? Did I kill myself before it ever came into being?
And now the spirit is haunting me every now and then. Reminding me of the sins I've done, the misdeeds I did.
Everytime I see that face I feel like I am hit right on my face, punched so hard that the impact shattered my heart into pieces and it scattered on the floor the same way as those zillion stars are scattered on the black velvet gown covering our heads above us.
That regret kills me everytime I see your face, I don't know who you are, where did you come from, I can't understand your arrival, when it happened, I have no idea. Just go away please, I have had enough of this..
