  What's the Story in my Midnight Jabber?


Colourless green ideas, may sleep furiously
But what’s the harm, in some blabber?
What’s the story, in my midnight jabber?
Immense madness that surrounds each point
A star? A dandruff?
Both, Omnipresent and idle.
Half the mind, I speak my time out
Out of the good, I feel blue
A sound sleep, is a pity-ful heap
Scattered, sprinkled, separated, where do I flow?
Latent. I shall evaporate.
Munching nerves, get on my sound mind
Punching urge, sudden but justified
Music to my poems,
To my brain, a parasite
And a cake walk, is’nt simply vanilla
It’s molten dutch truffle,
in your face!
Stay inert or be spell-bound
says the madness within
But peace of mind is a pampered child
The kind that won’t listen
Meanwhile plans, to personify
Ask for more screen time



Spot me if you can
I am a screaming mime

A Mind-ful P'light


Light has split personality.
It is both a particle and a wave.
Never at the same time though.

A light-headed man
Light as a balloon. Light as a needle.
Never at the same time though.

He has chosen to reflect.
There is pin drop silence.

He could burst any moment now.



Soil Erosion


If it is calm after the storm
and the dust has settled down

Its time to storm out of the door,
have the dust watered down

Life is better off, soiled
Than, simply dusted away.





Eternally spotless 
is the page..

Suddenly thoughtless 
is the mind..

An honest confession
he was no poet..

The intervention, 
was always divine.

An Ode to the Street Tailors


Daudti - bhaagti duniya ki
behti almaariyon main
Fate kapdo ko kaun dekhe?

Naye kapdo k hisaab se
mota-patla hone ki dhun main
Khaas aapka naap kaun puche?

Fati jeans toh khair pehen bhi loge 
Par shirt ka button nikal gaya toh
RUK jayegi ye duniya, ek darzi ke vaaste!






Uljhe mann ke soch
Uljhe sawaal puche

Dhundhle puraane yaad
Kabhi shor bankar goonje

Unche sapne mann ke
Adhoore bhatak rahe

Par dhundhe kis manzil ko?
Ye chanchal raahe?

Aur naraaz is dil ko
Kaun thaame?

Pareshaan hun main 
Rozaana

Ae zindagi mujhe
Aur aazmana!





Chai, Paani aur Woh


Sarkari naukari
Chai-paani k naam par
Paisa vasooli
Thi roz ki baat

Jaane kahan kho gaya!
Woh krantikaari jawaan
Khareed gaya use bhi
Yeh nasamajh samaaj

Pacchees ka tha woh
Par peeta tha chai hazaar ki
Saare aisho-aaraam the toh!
Phir bhi khudse naraazgi

Ek din daftar aayi woh
College main pasand thi jo
Woh muskuraya
Par usne nahi pehchana

Ab thodi raha woh wahi insaan
Paanch ki chai peeta tha jo
Aur karta baatein hazaar
Jise sunti thi woh
