One day

One day
I will lose my mind
I promise
One day I will go mad

Every step sinks here
Into an infinite fall
One sweet moment I can see
I will go lose it all

One day I won't recognize
Your face, your voice
One day I know
I will take myself by surprise

One day it won't help
Being clever, Being wise,
That day I will close my eyes
and walk off the cliff...

When I look at you
I realize
What beats within me
Is not my heart

.. And one day I will scream

It will happen
One fine day my master
your love
Will take its toll!


                         

Lost!

When you are here
I wonder who you are
When you are gone,
I wonder if you really left

When you speak,
In your voice, I can't find words.
When you pause,
I can't find my breath

When you walk in without a warning,
I am buried deep in the ground.
When you sit still
I am lost in an unknown sky

When the breeze touches your hair,
When an ant walks by your feet,
When an unseen bird sings away as you speak,
I rejoice, I weep, I am drunk, my every bit!

How can I ask you my question
My only question is you.
Your coming and going
And being here and not
The memory and dreaming
Of all this and that,
Adds up to a question?

Let me sit here.
Pretend you don't know..
Only a little while more..

For the moment you turn your eyes
The earth cracks up,
The skies tear down,
And I wonder if I really am!

Where/Why did the flower bloom

In the earth,

in the air 

or in the sky

or opening endlessly

like a smile 

or drowning forever 

like a sigh

Unfolding or encapturing

Flooding or emptying

what is this fragrance

thrown ?

A secret 

perhaps unsaid 

and perhaps

always known..

Mine or yours

or about me and you

Simple and shining

bright and wordless..

..secretly you smile

you know it so well

you know my secret

and you wouldn't tell!

Jai Bhairavi!

In your land of the strange and wonderful

not for the clever and the careful

where death is not known

and even the dead are not grim

where even the smallest blade of grass 

sways under your whim!

With a beating heart

and through the kumkum that flies

One sight of your eyes

And with a flood of an ecstatic pain.. 

               ..i realize

the eternal joke of joys and sorrow.

Wherever this strange rhythm takes

now i can only sway

How to set out for your abode

My legs give away!

Slipping out of reality

or waking up from a dream

This enchanting stillness

is also a scream..

of Jai Bhairavi!

कुछ बात ही ऐसी ..

शायद हो भी बेमतलब की 

पर कुछ बात है जरूर 

कहते कहते न पहले यु रुके थे 

बहते बहते अचानक न यु डूबे थे 

न मालूम था की सूखे फूलो से भी  खुशबु आती है 

बादलो के बिना भी बारिश होती है 

इस अधूरेपन में भी पूर्णता जन्म लेती है 

सूरज दिखा भी कहाँ  अभी... 

                    की आकाश में रंग भर आये 

रंग बिखरे भी कहाँ अभी .. 

                  की मन में उतर  आये 

आखो ने देखा भी कहाँ अभी..  

                   की दिल ने पहचान लिया 

मन को जो भाया था
सदियों से जो चाहा था
                वो कुछ भी तो नहीं यहाँ

फिर ये उमंग जो उठी है
दिल पे  जो सवार है बेवजह
ये याद जो भुला दे रही है
आखिर है किसकी

समझने और कहने की न भी हो 

पर कुछ बात है जरूर 

Full moon to full moon!

I promised I won't come back
For my heart was sore and broken
But here I am and there my heart
Smashed at your feet lies!
Now I am free and I won't go back
Until I have drunk and stolen
The growing rapture
 of your eyes!

Now from full moon to full moon
An uninterrupted dance
One continuous night
A crazy romance!

Trapped in your gaze
I can barely walk
I know only
to sing and dance!

Dancing away
I go nowhere
But from full moon to full moon
What do I care!

Who

Who is it that,
As I go prancing about the day,
Stares unblinking
into the night.

Moved when I was still
Hummed when I looked
Sang when I loved
And danced as I cried

And when in the deepest of pain
I mourned
At a distance continued
to smile

As I slept one night
Who is it that woke up once in a dream
