An unaccomplished task...

Close my eyes and shut down life
But my thoughts drown me
My lips are sealed, there is silence all around
Yet the feeling tears me down.

There was bliss a moment back
Which was followed by an abyss

A snippet form "A Train To Pakistan" by Kushwant Singh

Not forever does the bulbul sing
In balmy shades of bowers,
Not forever lasts the spring
Not ever blossom flowers.
Not forever reigneth joy,
Sets the sun on days of bliss,
Friendship not forever last,
They know not life, who know not this.

A Language I Didn't Know

I shouted and said hello
In a language they did not know
Nobody turned, no one replied
I shall try to make the best of it

The Terrorist

"There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness."


The vast green
The open skies
Life was such a pleasant surprise,
Bright sunny mornings
The fresh breath of spring
The clattering of raindrops waking me
From my pleasant dreams

My family was a precious gift
To be treasured at all cost
I saw the rich smile of the fading day
Which lingered on in my thoughts
It was not to last...it was too perfect to be true..
This was my greatest fear..
the bitter truth that I knew...

Every spring is followed by a fall,
But..
I never knew this one would take my all....

Darkness has no path,
It follows no direction...
On that fine day, it came knocking my way..
It was unexpected..
Unanticipatting and carefree was me..
Evil has no limits, no boundaries entraps it...
It spreads its wings
