THE BOOTH

Along the side of the road
a silent booth was waiting,
To harbour thirsty souls
away from hot waves chasing.

A creaking carriage rumbles past
and in dusty breaze a face uncovers,
Behind the silk stesses
tender such all harshness has fears

A cool breaze soothes
the hatred of red and yellow leaves,
the treetops russled and
twitlings fluttered their wings

The soft eyes colouring
the rusty backdrop green,
while she eyes the road
even innocent eyes would seem mean

A horn sounds a long way on road
the eyelashes frighteningly flutter,
Eyes search the horizon
but the scene still decepts her

The eyes harbour dispair
cast down in nothingness,
Skies darken with dusty cotton
mirroring those beautiful eyes

A carriage approaches
scissoring the hazy air,
the boarded eyes now look down from
the window at that shanty mere

The carriage takes beautiful eyes
away from that booth,
the wind still does ball with dust
yet the lonely booth awaits.

- OM

They say...
World is your stage
and you are the performers,
but in this mire of world
we are the puppets & they have strings.

They say...
Freedom's what u get
to do what you want,
but we are only free to die here
despicably with poison of rat.

They say...
Every wall is decorated
and every floor is shiny,
but miss the cobwebs in corners
of despair & victims of tyranny.

They say...
You have the ropes
to pull yourself along ladders of progress,
but their golden eyes neglect
that no ropes can reach at depths of our regress.

They say...
The society is steady
and they have grip over masses.
but the same vise
is choking us
with their neat promises.

they say...
And...
WE ONLY LISTEN...

-Life at standstill-

The flowers are blooming everywhere,
bees gathering nectar for young ones of their;
Small drops of honey in the deal,
like a stream of life from a meal.

But comes to standstill,their lives,
when man cuts, for honey, their hives.


The small fish in the water,
eating tiny herbs on the platter;
Dreams of a quite land of water,
to make its family's life better.

But its life comes to a standstill,
when a big fish gulps his dreams.


The mighty nature god in itself,
feeder of everything under the sun;
Indescriminate of who walks on twos and fours,
giving shelter to grimy with sores.

But life comes to a standstill,
when human envades for greed.


A god fearing man of the east,
living his life on a hope, sweet.
Dreaming of the love of his days,
prays to god for destiny with healthy ways.

But life comes to a standstill,
when a cruel storm wipes his dreams to nil.

The hunted

Thousand miles undertaken

And countless corners passed

Still searching for myself

In this concrete jungle & trees in cast,

I wanna be lonely hunter

To hunt my mind and tame my soul.

Fame thirsty hounds in collar

The cracking leaves of my dreams

Storm of grime blinding the sight

But what visions do you expect in grims

I wanna be a lonely hunter

To clear my sight off the cover

Deception by minds closer to heart

Creating blind patches in empty life

The silence of forest still unheard

Better not fill that patch again to be sliced by knife

So i wanna be a lonely hunter

In this marsh to fish the self out of depth

Out in the open are predators hungry

Feeding on your hopes and dreams

Keeping the hunter from being hunted

And to be ready with sharp weaponised wits

I wanna be a lonely hunter

To hunt myself away from hate.

-Omkar

-ती वाट-

विचारांचे गाठोडे खांद्यावर घेऊन
चोखंदळपणे निवडेली ती वाट
समूद्रासारखी क्षितीजापलीकडे
अशी अनंतात जाणारी अथांग वाट.


जीवनाच्या वाटेवरचे एक वळण
ज्याने वावटळीत भूलवले मनाला
ते निर्दयी वळण तर सुटले मागे
पण करून गेले नैक जखमा हृदयाला


त्याच वाटेवर दूर कुणी दिसली
आणि सोबतीची आशा फुलली
पण ती मृगजळातील प्रतिबींब होती
जीने माझ्या हाकेला हाक दिली


आता चाललो आहे एकटाच
या उनाड माळरानावर
पण अजूनही वाट पाहतो तीची
कारण विश्वास आहे माझा प्रेमावर

-Ek Kshan-

कधीकधी मनमोहक प्रसंग आपल्या आयुष्यात येतात, आणि कोय्रा जीवनाला
अर्थपूर्ण वळण देतात.
या क्षणांना नैकविध रंगांच्या छटा असतात,
आणि छटांच्या सौंदर्याला भावनांच्या झालरी झळाळतात.

कधी त्या क्षणांमध्ये प्रेयसीचा सुंदर सहवास असतो,
आणि त्या सहवासालापण शांत झुळूकेचा स्पर्श लाभतो.
या नाजूक समयी चंचल नजरेमध्ये फक्त ती स्थिरावते,
जेव्हां तीच्या कोमल हातात हात आणि मनात प्रेम बळावते.

कधी या क्षणांना आईच्या मायेचा स्पर्श असतो,
पण या मायेत लहानपणीच्या धम्मकलाडूंचा प्रसादही आठवतो.
कधी आईने बनवलेल्या पक्वांन्नाची चव जीभेवर रेंगाळते,
आणि तीने सांगीतलेल्या गोष्टींमध्ये बालपण पुन्हा भेट देते.

कधी सर्व मित्रांसोबत घालवलेला वेळ असतो,
पण तो गेलेला वेळही जन्मभर आपल्या सोबत असतो.
या वेळेत सर्वांनी मिळून केलेली हुल्लडबाजी असते,
तर कधी निर्भेळ हास्य आणि मित्राची काढलेली खोडी असते.

अशा या क्षणाक्षणांनीच जीवन बनते,
पण या क्षणभंगूर क्षणांशिवाय हे जीवन व्यर्थ असते.
जीवनाच्या आठवणी आपल्या स्मरणात राहतात,
आणि मन खिन्न असताना हेच क्षण दुःख विसरवतात.
