Home

The rejoicing fades away

As I walk my path

Away-

From the place where it all happened

The place where I was victorious,

The place, where I rejoiced,

With them,

Upon my fallen adversaries.

But now I must walk.

Away from the rejoice, from them

Away from the battlefield, my glory

I walk. Because I have to.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the end of the road it waits for me.

My destiny. So different from the battlefield.

There may not be any cozy beds for me.

Or a nice meal waiting.

No one awaiting my path,

To welcome me inside.

But I still call it: Home.

Disillusioned

When the castle of faith crumbles
And the bubble of belief collapses
Where does one go?
When loyalty cries of betrayal
And trust decays
Whom does one turn to?
When love becomes poison
And fire runs through the veins
What does one do?
Where lies the path
For the disillusioned?

A Transition from Optimistic to Pessimistic

The light shines down bright
Upon the path
For those who have one.
I have none.
They talk of hope, love, compassion
And of the good things in life;
They make me laugh.
I believed them, once
Saw the world with rosy eyes
Till they got burnt.
No hope for the damned like me
No silver lining, either
When the clouds are of fire
There are no Gods, nor salvation
For the likes of me.

A Transition from Pessimistic to Optimistic

I try to look through the clouds
Into the skies beyond
Where the sun is shining
In his majestic glory.
I can't. I've been avoiding
The sun for so long
That I now remember not
What he looked like.
I keep trying nevertheless.
I try, perhaps for the first time
to nurse my wounds
old, some dating back to eons
Festering, kept open by my own self;
Now they are hard to heal.
I try, nonetheless.
I had smiled, too often,
To hide my tears
Now I smile without tears.


The World doesn't change
Only my view has
I've looked through a smoked glass
A time too long
Now I intend to make it transparent.

Adieu

Standing on the seashore
Looking at the obscure stars.
The waves wash away
My footprints on the sand;
The sun inches towards dawn.
I look at the sea. Endless.
For me as well as those who succeed me.
Soon, the day will wipe out any trace
That this night ever existed.
Only the dew on the grass, and my memories
Its last remnants.

(This was my poem for the college yearbook)

Why should I cry for you?

You were my angel
who gave me hope, when I had none
Gave me strength, and courage;
You were my cocaine, my Holy Grail
The eternal fire on Mount Olympus.
You were there beside me
When I faced the wrath of Gods;
Kept me sane
When I shouldn't have been.
I lost myself, in the depth of your eyes
And in the euphoria that came over me
With your smile,
When I touched your hands
Kissed your lips.

You are my demon
Who never fails to haunt me
In my dreams;
Never fails to arouse a painful memory
When I get drunk at night;
Never fails to make my heart bleed,
Even today, when I come across your name.
You have made life hell for me.
But I bear no grudges.
You have taught me to be strong:
To live in agony, and yet, to live
The meaning of the words
Anger, Frustration, Depression and Hatred
And what it is, to live with them;
You have made me wise, and old.
So thank you,
And goodbye, my love- my hatred.
