Heartache

It hurts?
Who are you trying to deceive!
It's a pain
You don't want to leave!!

"Peeda mein aanand jise ho..."
~Harivansh Rai Bachchan

Icarus and Phoenix

From the ashes I will rise
With fire in my eyes
To live my interrupted dream
To get my forbidden prize

Every sinew I will strain
I will transcend every pain
I'll fly silently without a hum
Beware Apollo here I come!!

“It's better to burn out than fade away.”
~Kurt Cobain quoting Neil Young

Jugnoo

वृक्षो के झुरमुट में अद्भुत
कुछ जादू का पुट
आँख मिचौनी खेल रहा है
जुगनुओं का गुट

कल्पतरु सा पीपल चमके
जुगनुओं के साथ
चांदनी का जाल बिछा है
तारो भरी कनात

"We are all worms, but I do believe that I am a glow worm.”
~ Winston Churchill

Taad aur chaand

काला ताड़, गोरा चाँद
रात्रि काल की
श्वेत - श्याम तस्वीर में
लंबा ताड़, गोला चाँद!!

चतुर्दशी का भोला चाँद
ताड़ को अलविदा कह
बादलों से लुक-छिप करता
हौले हौले डोला चाँद!!

"Some shape of beauty moves away the pall From our dark spirits। Such the sun, the moon, Trees old, and young, sprouting a shady boon"
~ Endymion, John Keats

Unbreak my heart
Unbound my soul
Break these threads, they bind
Liberate... Unite me with the whole!!

ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं

Icarus

You are young, the world beckons you
Hurdles abound you find your way through
You crave for glory, you want to fly
You craft a wing, give it a try

Flying above the ocean, you forget to comply
With rule that says fly, but not too high
Soaring too near the sun can damage your wings
He who forgets his limits ultimately sinks

Wings of wax are bound to break
Proof they are not real but imitation, fake
The wings that liberate, that help you rise
Finally seal your fate, drive your demise।

“Burnout is nature's way of telling you, you've been going through the motions your soul has departed; you're a zombie, a member of the walking dead, a sleepwalker। False optimism is like administrating stimulants to an exhausted nervous system।”
~ Sam Keen

It's been a long time

Its been a long time
Of sleepless nights
Of dark Lights
Of dim sights

Its been a long time
Of silence and sad songs
Of pain and heart longs
Of no rights and all wrongs

Wish you were here
~Pink Floyd
