~The Hope~

One fine cold night in Bethlehem
When the angels sang the heavenly hymn
The world was waiting for its king
To love worship and adore him


From far and east came the kings,
Watching the star , and Following .
To see the child, the new being,
the hope of all foretelling


Then at last under a humble den,
they watched the King of all Men.
On the bosom of his mother, Virgin;
while he cuddled like an earthling.

~Read the Signs~

Read.. read.. read.. the signs. The signs of time,
The age of pain & fright.
The times of crime, a world that has lost its rhyme
fallen from its blessed fame.
Humans ! The cancer of this age, we are the curse of this race.
We‘ve left this world with no grace!


Cries of terror are rocking the stage. No place no space,
left untouched by human hate.
Quakes and flood are sweeping out the nations. Nowhere to hide,
Be it any civilization!
Let’s wait till the end said the clever, but I cry out; ‘we better repent’
Now the apocalypse is closer than ever

~ A Cho!ce ~

My day begins with an open window,
But this one can speak only one lingo.
Those ‘Tick tack ticks ‘, from my open laptop
That’s what, my windows can resolve!


Now sipping my coffee I lean back to see
Who else in the cabin is pissed off like me!
Then I think; what it would have been,
had I taken the path I used to dream?


‘Tring tring tring ’ , my phone then rings
Waking me up… like a wicked jinx.
I picked it up, to know the killer of my dream.
A voice then said... “It was your God Damn Choice!”

[Emotion : Pi$$ed Off !]

~ Walking Away ! ~

I walked away from you
I’m not sorry, for doing so.
Floated away from you
Coz, your aims were never true.

Who would’ve put me back?
If I had to lose it all?
Who would’ve fetched me back?
Had I leaped to fall?

Yes, forever I’m to be hated,
But, it is better than be wasted!
Had I pondered into your quarters
I would’ve lost all that was rooted.

Sinking the ship saves it's men at times
So, no regrets; I’m not your partner in crime!
And as the saying goes, the show must go on’
I ain’t looking back, just walking alone.

Laments of a wounded soul

The clouds are roaring, thundering and raining
With no mercy, in my heart they are pouring
All the strength that I have is eroding
What have I done to face this suffering?

Stronger it is, when it’s your heart that is bleeding
Emotions are the worst kind of toxins
Wounds of soul, they never stop oozing
For such state, what is the medicine?

When you cry, the crowd might go mocking
‘Be a man! This ain’t kidding ’.
Nobody cares, not a single earthling
Tears of a victim, for them its amusing.

Oh! What it is to be in such a setting
Father! Look at me, to you I am praying
For If there is a man who can be sympathetic
It’s Jesus, the one and only Pristine.

INNOCENCE

Soft but it stays strong,
True and it’s never wronged
Against evil it never daunts
Innocence it is called

Lively, yet so Chaste,
In faith it never fails
In a smile it never hides
Survives, all tides of age

Like honey it always tastes
Lives in all that God creates
Compassion, it shows to human state
Stands by men, to heal his fate

Against hell it never shakes
Radiates, love to entire space
Evil, crushed by its regal state
Innocence will always prevail.

Living in Gethsemane ~ Luke 22:42

Burning my flesh & piercing like darts
The pain it grows, like the creepers crawl
Freezing my brain & ceasing my heart
Drowning in tears, my soul cries out

Chained to darkness & panting in fear
A sinking ship, in the ocean of tears
Sweating my blood & tortured to death
My soul prays out, to exempt from trials

A voice I hear, but it’s echo of mine;
Mercy it yearns & for freedom it prays
Waiting still, for the pain to drain
And crying out loud, to end its reign
