Some of my poems have the tendency to rhyme, some don't, and most of them are accidental. I like to call these songs without music.

Memories In The Wind
While the waves crashed below me
I saw the sun set low and fast
And the vastness of the sea
I was plucking memories from the wind
And smells that seemed from yesterday
The air was heavy and laden
Witn a time that's flown away
Of all those I've ever loved
And all those who love me
Relations, brothers and friends
Are all spread out like the sea
I was thinking of tomorrow
But my train don't leave that day
Pulling hours from the ocean
Looking for what I've got to say
And if it all comes down to nothing
Then I'll go there once again
I'll choose my memories from the wind
And I'll relive it again

Eventuality
All those times, that used to be
Some kind of part of memory
Now it seems, I didn't know
Could have stayed, I had to go
All those years, they fly away
Just like tomorrow is yesteray
And I couldn't see that far
What would happen when we part
Is it something that you do
Or is it involuntary
Am I letting go of you
Are you letting go of me
Tired of reaching out of the line
Cause All I know is not defined
Biggest letdown was my self
And this writing doesnt help
Things that couldnt, didnt happen
And you ask, am I Happy
Sure I am, cant you hear me laugh
Laugh away, till you've had enough
Or is it involuntary
Am I letting go of you
Are you letting go of me
That seems like some memory
Or it was something that never was
And I lived for a nothing cause
And I couldnt see that far
What would happen when we part

Tomorrow
The last emotion that you were gonna fake
The last picture that you were gonna take
The last cigarette that you were gonna smoke
The last time that you laughed at that joke
The last day, to be at school
The last time in your life to be cool
The last message that you would've sent
The last decision that you would repent
Dont worry, or let it follow
Just put it off till tomorrow
Dont put yourself down by sorrow
You can put it off for tomorrow
The last feeling that you wanted to keep
The last time that you'd propose
The last chance, for that white rose
The last lyric that you want to rhyme
The last punishment, last crime
The last place that you were to go
The last thing that you wanted to know
Dont worry, or let it follow
Just put it off till tomorrow
Dont put yourself down by sorrow
You can put it off for tomorrow
The last stair that you were to climb
The last clock you wanted to chime
The last drink, the last walk home
The last instance to talk on the phone
The last word that you want to say
You can always put it off for a day
Dont worry, or let it follow
Just put it off till tomorrow
Dont put yourself down by sorrow
You can put it off for tomorrow

Surreal Trip
And the gentle rain takes its time
Droplets hanging on to the glass window
And sparkling reflections below
A thousand people in the throng
A clock that shouldn't take so long
And the prettiest girl in that place
I held her, a short embrace
A journey that would never end
A road that has no bends
A small pause, serene and calm
A burst of noise shattered the charm
A conversation, a wish come true
A moment that was really new
An hour to remember for a lifetime
And eyes that held me with their shine
A beautiful girl standing in the hall
She speaks of love and peace for all
And eyes they compete with ears
Two steps away, she stood so near
A gentle shake of hand and head
Waving goodbye to a friend
There's no telling when it'd be again
Of when I'd again feel the same
A writer writes a short tale
With willing characters, he can't fail
Under a million parallel lights
He sits down and starts to write

Shrink
But they all turn out to be lies
What you thought ago was wrong
What you thought you had won
They mutilate so you change
Or your mind becomes deranged
There's a suction pump on your head
Which pulls away until you are dead
Thinking is a punishable offense
And so is many times of making sense
And all your ideas are made to shrink
While you are pushed to the brink
What use, if any, is this living
To be like a pulp, a shapeless giving
I wish someone gives me an ax
I wish to chop away at the clacks
I want no part of this rat race
I want to get out of this place
I am brittle now see my cracks
Cause I know I am not what lacks

Pablo's Haze
I finally feel i am on the doorstep
Over the step, there is redemption
I guess I am back to this domain
But it's rolling, with a slight headache
Purple Haze, Pablo's haze
One Shot Two Shot Three Shot Four Shot
My men they let me down
When I asked them to fight
And when they came to it
It was hard seeing their plight
My men they let me down
After the easier task
They become happy to soon
And in false glory they bask
One by one they went
While I stayed cursing them
At the ground under my breath
They handed me my wreath
So I took it up to me
The fight was already lost
And there was no use to continue
Then I made the most
Cause even God failed that day
And my faith is shaken
What use is past pride
When you let yourself taken
Come on my opponent
I still have something for you
I'll hurl my war cry
And here's what I'll do
One for those who failed me
Two for our guide who led us wrong
Three for the people who'll hang us
Four for myself and I'm gone
The Art Of Saying Goodbye
And as life solidifies into a wall
And it's impenetrable and all that
And I'll slowly walk away from it all
Although I can't trust my instincts on this
It might not be true in my mind
But in my heart I know I can move on
And not look back at what's left behind
Now I go onto one last concession
I'll never feel again what I felt then
I'll never be the same, never say it again
But I can't allow myself to run
And she can't accuse me of what I am not
Cause I didn't know the art of saying goodbye
And I don't think I will ever learn it
But I swear I am going to try
And too much has gone in a cliche
I'm now going to change my direction
It's a space-time graph going different
And it's a dangerous personal correction
I hope this is my final ode to you
And as the music fades, so do I
Strain your ears I wont be there
I am learning the art of saying goodbye
The Insanity Just Turned Twenty (Plagarising Mradul)
And no one seems to ask
What I have been up to
The last decade or two
One line for each year
One word for each fear
One verse of mine to call
One time to say it all
I have spent a fifth in love
And a fourth in heaven
And the rest scattered etc
Totalling upto eleven
Do away with numbers I am told
Cause count the numbers and you are old
And do you not understand, magic!
Not comic, realistic and tragic!
To begin with, twenty is not too much
I can have twenty for lunch
And Cant get over the tendency to rhyme
Thats why The Insanity Turned Twenty
Dreamwalker
And he wakes up to save a woman
Her husband is a brutal beast
And she's a beauty, his ill omen
Xavier walks from dream to dream
And the doors he closes are half open
Xavier is now a communist soldier
Trying to sneak away to that pretty woman
Xavier meets a girl on a train
They are going to a ski trip on a mountain
Xavier knows the girl loves him
And she'd always agree to take the pain
Xavier makes her follow him
And acts as if he pays no attention
Xavier dances with another woman
And the girl she seeks intervention
Xavier takes the woman to a cabin
They leave two sets of steps on snow
The girl she follows at a distance
She's lost all choice, has to go
The girl is watching them
Her eyes they look across the window
Xavier ignores her completely
And she slowly gets covered with snow
Xavier is at a funeral
Of the girl he could have loved
Xavier is the last one
To throw a rose in the grave dug
Xavier wakes with the beautiful woman
She is beautiful, but he must betray her
Highway Girl
Or read her mind backwards
Or that she was broke
And had no money or words
Perhaps her lover left her
And she sought no solace
Or she had no lover
And her life was no place
She crouched down on the highway
Waiting for someone to run over
And the good people they veered clear
And their cars turned over
Agnes died behind her wheel
As her car fell in the side
And she did her best, and succeeded
To save the highway girl from her ride
The cars did not touch her
And parted their ways careful
The highway girl got up and left
And went back, alive, sad, beautiful

The Adventures Of The Ganja Eating Squirrel
Our ruler
She rules by proxy
The report's autopsy
Turvy five years are nothing
She's got her power
Like all the kings had
They call it people's
I call her inheritance
Her dynasty it rules
And she's followed
And she's got rubber
Stamping on the papers
And all this happens
While our media
It does its research
On the Ganja eating squirrel
Now see-
-see how it's undone
When you press that button
On the day of election
You chose-
Between the lesser
Of the two evils
You lose your heart and all
Cause it's not fair
They plot in dungeons
And rule in circles
Millions are hungry
Don't it make you angry?
Set fire to the pillars
Of their absurdity
And all this happens
While our media
It does its research
On the Ganja eating squirrel
You wonder (why)
why some of us are
more equal, than others
they've got the answer
they call it one word
re-ser-vation
so come and take it
this is your cake, it
has got a percent
So now have it free
But you cant see
They lurk in deep
In the lap of death
No cake for them
Cause they're not voters
No one's supporters
And all it happens
While our media
It does its research
On the Ganja eating squirrel
