The rainbow bridge

May 14th, 2013

Hi,

“30 percent is fate. The rest is a battle. You can only win if you love a good fight.” - from Shinjuku Incident (Movie)
An Out cast, I guess, that is how I am feeling right now. 30 days more…then I would be again on journey. Out again; out, to find a new place, a new search for bread and shelter.  My stay in Andhra has been a personal disaster except for the realization that i can still run long distance. Not fully without please, I will be leaving Vizag soon; too sooner  then intended. Off  to fight  another battle.
This journey would be a lot different then the one I had in 2010, then I had a money security. I could sit in a coffee shop and contemplate for hours. This time, this one, will be tougher. 
I know what Aline would say- you already have won the fight, just keep your belief in yourself up and you you will soon see that you have already won. ..Amen
…Apurva 

rock by rock- that is how you climb

it was supposed to be tough,

what did you think
it would be easy?
when none goes that way,
when each preaches against
and hold envy to them who give it a try?
what did you think
it would be easy?
rocks them say,
make you better,
but first you need to be brave
brave enough to reach for the height,
brave enough to stay behind of others,
and prepare.
take the loosing at it’s face
and learn.
it was supposed to be tough.
it was supposed to be tough,
and my boy, 
you must fight it out,
fight it ahead,
it was never meant to be easy.

a curse from the old page

March 2nd, 2013

forget not the time,

I am here to remind,
the time will move,
but will leave behind,
for you- a moment.
A moment to fulfill your wish,
a moment to live your life.
regret, sunset,
lost or left;
if you stick behind
you will stay there,
forever-till- you move out,
in a moment that has passed. 
writing pages,
for a book already published.
so move on,
live - don’t give,
a thought - to staying behind.
bad, ugly, hard, tough
or the worst, if is written, 
let it come,
for only then it shall pass.
so- move on.
forget not the time.

snow mountain

alone on my journey,
i hath to walk.
leaving alone, them, whom i should have known,
but i understood not.
alone on my journey,
I hath to walk.

i have been disgraced,
been called misplaced;
in this social order,
an identity erased.
but I thus,
if trueth, i be
The hurt, pained not for long.
for i knew,
in this journey of mine-
alone, if must, i must walk.

aye, a decade it has been,
decade, or more
counting, helps not.
watching, kinds & brutes,
weeds n fruits,
green n dried,
watching them grow.
sun or not,
watched ‘em grow.

blessed i must say,
i have been.
to see them clouds an’ dust,
spread love an’ dreams.

i know, She shall provide,
if i persist, needed or not, She shall provide,
so i persist not.
alone on my journey,
thus I walk.

yet a need flares my being,
after victory or loss,
or a day of hurtin’
the need of a fellow heart,
a hand calming me down.
alone on this journey,
thus i walk.

Hi,
Do you want me to say,
everything is all right
and heaven is on it’s way?
Or do you wish 
I will curse again,
someone
for procuring freedom.
or again act hurt,
throw some dirt 
on people who 
who exploit your day.
But if did,
cursed or praised.
Others or may be, you
would it change,
the way
you feel or the way
the world deals
with their next day?

dor

October 2nd, 2012
kis dor se bandh kar 
bheja hai tune usko,
Kitna bhee chahu,
doori ghatti nahi.
badal sa hai,
uska aangan,
rakhta hun pair jo,
jo aangan tikta nahi.
door jana mumkin nahi,
patang sa  khicha 
chala aata hun.
samandar ko bandh  tune,
paya kya musafir,
kitna bhee chahu
doori ghatti nahi

Tortoise

October 2nd, 2012

i look at the skies,
searching for them eyes,
eyes that watch over me.

them who had no choice,
or chose otherwise,
i search for them,
like a bird,
awaiting light.

stranded among beings,
who have,
by will or otherwisie,
decided to fight among themselves,
i feel lonely, disjoint,
from reality.

a song for me,
a song for thee.
and there are a billion more.

some singing with voice,
some contributing with noise.
some not talking at all.

still each has a place,
it this rhyme.
the rhyme, we call
free life.

praying loud

August 20th, 2012

long it has been,
a long time, since i wrote,
a chapter in the book of mine.

lost interest, i guess,
interest in the life of a man
who did nothing else but whine.

good thing is,
of people lesser i complain.
for i am,
i too am
living life their style;
breathing-complaining,
earning-complaining,
drinking-complaining,
loosing-complaining.
complaining & complaining.

how i became, i wonder,
one among all,
another of them another of powerful’s dolls,
i understand not.

long it has been,
since i wrote,
another chapter in the books of mine.

it was me,
yes, it was me.
afraid of the strides, i took,
afraid of the world that would,
result from the acts of mine.

hard it becomes,
hard it is,
to go on, to grow on,
if you were blessed enough
to grow with a bronze tie.
easy it is to settle down,
to be droned around.

but light, light!
she leaves not,
i lie mad, but she agrees not.
i show her the door,
but she returns everytime,
mad, broken, tied,
i show her the devil inside,
she smiles.

ah, it is me,
she is me.
the me who cares,
cares of the man i am.

lord, i knoweth not,
thus i beg, be my guide.

call me not names

August 16th, 2012

i have never been,
as i still am not.
call me with no names,
for my faith has none,
and shall have not.

i fell,
still fall,
deep into the dark,
held, built and maintained
by me.

but the light still shines,
as it had,
when i kept the promise
promise i made to the land.

call me no names,
for i have none.
