Pine-Apple

It keeps me guessing with wonder
On the erstwhile blunder
As to who’s at fault to blame
Which burnt the thread to flame
Leaving behind a trail of fumed emotions
Calling them out as concoctions
Of lonely situations and a frail mind
Solemnizing ignorance with confusions to un-wind

It would be easy in life for us
At convinience, to ride the bus
Boarding at the station of choice
And get down at another without a noise
But unfortunately, life has no threads
To stitch relationships as one pledges
And then cut them loose once washed and old
Building new, leaving others dried and cold

One WORD...

While reading a novel
I came across a word unheard, unknown
Searching the word in google
It struck me, how about one for own

Relevant minimal words have maximal impact
Will a single word keep the sense intact?
Sounds strange for a single word
To paint a personal world
An individual, character and soul
And draw lines on the person whole

This interesting thought got me excited
Jotting down words, I got started
Missing a single one made me frown
Categorizing them as adjective and noun

Lot many words touched my periphary
Gosh! I realized a few were contrary
High-spirited yet lazy
Even-tempered yet crazy
Extrovert yet Diffident
Naif yet independent

These words did describe me in some way
But still were like an act of the play
With incomplete justice to all the characters
Not capturing the spirit which really matters
Continuing the search, I pinged my friends, colleagues
With the question that to few I guess, intrigues
Some were really excited and prompt
rest mocked with funny words of contempt

I got - Funny, alive, trustworthy, upbeat
Initiator and sensitive, got me on my feet
Chaman, a**ole also brought the heat
One that brought in my eye a glint
Was a close friend who called me "Mint"
At first I couldn't get the meaning
She detailed - its cool and refreshing

Unable to converge to a word so genuine
Insatiated, I decided to coin and maintain - Jainuine!

Do let know your views, if only for fun!

Me n my Solitude...

All around, I see a group of smiling faces
But when alone, just chunks of empty spaces
Not sure where to go, whom to knock
It all seems empty at every block

These smiling faces are like a sunflower
Spreading warmth and cheer, till you water
After sunset, on the field is left
Just memories of the paddled soil at best

After meeting them, on way of return,
In my mind, I have many a concern,
The streets and corners all seem parting
Open and hardened, as if mocking

At the end of the day when am back
I find the place empty, dark and black
In my heart, desires sometimes burn like fire,
With the world full of fakes on hire

I guess, time shows the rainbow of life
Songs and laughs at times, mostly cries
Hoping sometimes it’ll be a celebration cake
Am trying to live it, for happiness sake

Someone somewhere is made for you

Someone somewhere is made for you
Sounds like just another bolly-phrase
Somehow I've always believed it to be true
So falling in-line, I waited for my appraise

I always read about Love
But remained untouched above
Today I seem to be one of the rest
Yet find myself all alone to say the best

At times I feel the restlessness
Wanting to verbalise my feelings
Sometimes I enjoy the sweet pain
Thinkin O' God, when for me will it rain

I tend to keenly notice the subtleties
in her reactions
And look for the gleam of reciprocation
even if in fractions

Be it her sweet smile, or talks juvenile
The maturity she displays, for worldly ways
Or simplicity in nature, with a heart so pure
All attracts me to her for sure

Alas! It is so difficult to read her
But there seems no end to the love-fever
God, I leave it to you to decide
All over my heart does she reside!!!

Mingling...

Kuch din ho gaye theek se soye huye,
Karwaton mein thodi bechaini si hai,
Adhura khwab, adhuri chahat ki kashish,
Lagta hai agli mulaqat pe hi neend ayegi...

:)

Pyaar ka Ehsaas...

Uski zindagi ki gehraiyon ko
Samajh pana mushkil hai
Par uski dil ki aawaaz ko sun pane se
Kya hi haasil hai
Jab tak uske liye pyaar ka ehsaas na ho

Uski hansi mein jhalke shabdon ko
Padh pana mushkil hai
Par uski khamoshiyon mein dabey raaz jaanne se
Kya hi hasil hai
Jab tak uske liye pyaar ka ehsaas na ho

Uski zindagi ke khwabon ko
Roop de pana mushkil hai
Par uske ateet mein jhankne se
Kya hi haasil hai
Jab tak uske liye pyaar na ho

Phir bhi use jaanna chahta hoon…

LIFE !!!

I wonder what are ingredients of LIFE
Is it a good family and a good wife
A mark in top league and a successful career
Or heaps of wealth and a seat of power

Though these are necessary to possess
Inarguably, life needs more as I assess

What adds spice are interests and passions
And knowledge to make interesting conversations
Friends around and kindred-ties brimming with love
Who stands by you when others shove

Though it is a fight tough and perennial
Surely life is slightly more than just the things material
