Whisper

You then whispered
Something to my ear
A message so unclear
Just couldn't decipher

Send me searching
To find the answer
Map the uncharted
Within and beyond

Footsteps

The wind touched me
Bit unwarranted then
The cool gentle touch
Got me craving more

But where to find you
I couldn't find footsteps
Then I glanced up above
And the sky was the clue

The mellow wind revived
Reassuring me that I was
Following the right way
Footsteps leading ahead

Remembering

I looked into my cupboard
Searching for something else
But it was not what I found
Instead I found my old shirt

Which I used to always wear
Numerous years back in time
Adored its color way too much
It felt like my second skin worn

I've grown up, it fits no more
Yet it's far too dear to discard
And sadly I realize that is how 
I feel remembering you now 

Dawn to Dusk

I'm sitting at dusk, recalling dawn
So much passed with me all along

In dawn when Sun had first shone
With enthusiasm, fervently I strode

I failed to notice the cogs in my way
I tripped and got hurt to lurch ahead

Resting upon adjacent foliage shade
I recuperated till I was strong again

Slowly as the Sun rays lost its glare
I was walking again in careful pace

I reached on time to my cozy abode
At dusk, impressions of dawn arose

The world vs me

When younger I thought
The world was so wrong
And I was completely right
But I was so far from truth

I grew older, doubts crept in
World seemed to work well
Maybe I was one mistaken
The mess was just my fault

Now as I mature and wisen
I realize that nothing is right
Nor anything really is wrong
The world just is, and so I am

Letter to God 1

I've been writing many poems
For so long that I lost all track
But no one really reads them
This blog is so dead and done

So I decided, instead of poems
I'll write letters instead to God
Dear Jesus, Krishna, Buddha
Mother Durga, Mary and Sita

I'm grateful you gave me life
Introduced me to this world
But I did mess up everything
I'm still alive for your grace

The world is really complex
I never seem to get firm grip
But when everything changes
Nothing does last to hold on

Someday I hope to fathom
The totality of the universe
Overcome my shallow self
Unify with your presence

Last man standing

I'm the last man standing

Not too sturdy, a bit frail

It's past a decade since

I was in my first band

Every member changed

But I still held my place

Till band became solo act

And no listener was intact

Still in my dreams I can feel

Pulse of stepping up on stage

Deafening roar of audience

Now gives way to silence

Once inane cheesy lyrics

To writing lines of poems

I'm the last man standing

I hope to go on till the end
