Who Am I To BE?

Torn between ‘me’
The better be and the best me

The stranger in ‘me’
The worst me and the real me

Who is me?
What I see or what you see?

Who is to be?
My being or yours seeing

Who am I to be?

Red

Deep down, in the sea of emotions, sails a child
The depth of it, he, only can feel
What might seem shallow, could be an ocean, he see

In the muddled water of lake, he finds a pearl
He names it ‘she’, thinking the joy it brings...
Which, he would never feel

Strange as time, the pearl turns
Him to her and he sees an exotic life
Still in the deep waters of red

..

Always in crowd
Away from ones around
I stood all alone
Not knowing
In loneliness, I grow

You came, you loved, you moved
I defined loneliness in you

Now,I embark on journey of love
You gone, deepening loneliness in me

My voice, now speaks
How sullen I have become

My arms, now ache
Of my own enclave territory

My eyes, always moist
Of grief in my heart

My soul, now screams
Of how desired you are

My life, now moans
How dead I am and was



Come Back!
Rewind, that every moment
You were close to my heart

And

I, guard it with armor of my past,
Shield it with arrogance of snide


Yet


You loved,
I disrespect

You trusted,
I cared less

You stretched,
I rebound, and broke at last

You left,it dawned

Loneliness,
was the only thing bred.

Emptiness

Umpteen times I have fallen lonely
Your thought, feels that glory

You... Yours.... Mine..... Unified

You home your heart on mine
Yet never allowed them to beat

You spelled your name on my lips
Yet never allowed them to meet

You made your breath mine
Yet never allowed it to breathe

You bathed me in your fragrance
Yet never allowed it to settle in

You pictured yourself in my eyes
Yet never allowed it to paint

You filled me with your spirit
Yet never allowed it to experience

You stood an inch away
Yet never allowed to reach you

You lived in me
Yet allowed to live without you

You are the truth, I seek
You are the God above
Yet I search within


I believe,
You are one with me

Quest

Driven by passion not by purpose
Leads, nowhere not destined there

Passion vanguards, purpose aspires
Revolution, the tonic brews from the amalgamation of the two



Destiny surpassed!

Eyes.......... Your's

Writing was never my passion
Painting strokes, a nightmare
Your eyes behold all this for me
And mine yours………

Dreams envisioned of failures
Hope a putrefying state
Your eyes beckoning trust
And mine obscure

Fortune tellers, abhor
Faith, care less
Your eyes still phantom
And mine a lie…………

Chartered by doom
Led by martyr
Your eyes recant,
And mine demise…………
