A living man who sits and does not lie down

2008-09-08T22:56:00.002+05:30

A living man who sits and does not lie down,
A dead man who lies down and does not sit!
After all these are just dirty skeletons. (The Way of Zen )

Beautiful world stay with me

Anger and hostility

Wings symbolized freedom dream! The thought is as old as the day we started thinking or new as anything .

Cold and alone! Can’t be better

I have tried to build a landscape out of different images! Need to work on this technique…I got inspired from digital pros deriving some really cool landscapes

Mother

2008-05-28T00:05:00.001+05:30

In the blight and Plight
You carry our weight
Burying your dream
You betray self
For our Birth
Only to know
You are the only savior
In hunger, in thirst
And who else but you

Stray sleep under street lamps. Well there a huge dust bin next to my house…a few stray dogs have made their life as gleaners near the bin, they depend on the people dump. They are not at all friendly dogs. If some one goes near them they all take position to defend or attack like the wild canines do in the wild. While taking a nap they are alert, and a hint of walking towards the bin, they are all alert and hints the members of the pack, trying to say there is a prey around. They are my subject of interest....
In a boring evening drive back from office in a signal, I was gazing at a little kid holding her dada tight on a bike. Of course she was lil embarrassed then she burry her face in her dad’s jacket. Finally turn back to confirm whether I was still looking at her and a sly smile as the green flashed. Well behold that image, this is a lil study to check, what made her so interesting?
dark brown eyes
no symbolism, its all bull!

Horse With No Name

2008-02-06T22:38:00.000+05:30

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

Ive been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
cause there aint no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see Ive been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
cause there aint no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After nine days I let the horse run free
cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see Ive been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
cause there aint no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

Alluring self to a place
Ask you to oblige

inner restive spirit
long lasted linger of a dream romance

Cold no and shoo
For a glimpse of you
Will break things apart
In the moment of angst

There must be a reason
There must be a season
That you know better
That you feel at ease

Wait which feels Eternity
Within the worship
Hates self for doing so
But discern it’s not black and white

Why the whole wait
Carry no more weight
Cry no more to the naive adore
Say-so “End here to move on”

Something holds it back
Thou need a hand one day
its worth a wait to see that day

Lay Lady Lay ----Bob Dylan

2007-11-02T14:51:00.000+05:30

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen

Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead

Silentium. Fyodor Tyutchev (translated by Vladimir Nabokov)

Speak not, lie hidden, and conceal
the way you dream, the things you feel.
Deep in your spirit let them rise
akin to stars in crystal skies
that set before the night is blurred:
delight in them and speak no word.

How can a heart expression find?
How should another know your mind?
Will he discern what quickens you?
A thought once uttered is untrue.
Dimmed is the fountainhead when stirred:
drink at the source and speak no word.

Live in your inner self alone
within your soul a world has grown,
the magic of veiled thoughts that might
be blinded by the outer light,
drowned in the noise of day, unheard...
take in their song and speak no word.

Books on Church Gate

2007-09-18T21:52:00.000+05:30

Late in the sundown
Idea to explore pay day
Though the World was Unknown

Something about the maze
Art made its way
To a strange unknown place

It’s him advertising his books
Donkey’s years on the path
Easy with his tiny looks

Offered the best tome
For a price so meager
The street looked like a home

His job fetches barely a meal
But the will says “Reading all i want”
With a smile that says “What a steal!”

RUN Collective Soul

2007-08-30T13:39:00.000+05:30

Are these times contagious

I've never been this bored before

Is this the prize I've waited for

Now with the hours passing

There's nothing left here to mature

I long to find the messenger

Have I got a long way to runHave

I got a long way to runYeah, I run

Old shirt

2007-08-18T00:43:00.000+05:30

Like an old rag wrinkled

I camouflaged in my dream
In the dust of the corner
Years passed no one touched

The day came when you walked in
The yarn was fine
Had a familiar weave
And thought, “A Wash would do you fine”

You took me
Filled me to a form, that I was unaware off
So sad, I was made for a chair
you sat on me, feeling good

You never knew
I was hid in the threads
Waiting for you to wear
Yet I rejoice your underside

"Underside" ;) your hidden talent to use a wrinkled rag

Lullaby

2007-08-03T15:44:00.000+05:30

A congregation sighting something under the bridge
Narrowing grey steel lines converging to a point
Then I saw a stain in crimson from a distance

You on the track but on an erroneous track
None was beside you? Did they all abandon you?
Did you call the might; I know they let you down

Was this the only option, in these endless odds?
Were you convinced you were not wanted?
I know not the turbulence or weakness compelled

Will not prey to rest in peace,
It riddles me nobody let, when you walked
You already choose serenity unknown to all

Will sing the lullaby, if there isn’t any one to do
Will sing the lullaby, for the last whimper of help
I just sing the lullaby, to mourn your eternal sleep

Anticipating

2007-07-26T15:59:00.000+05:30

Traveling along piercing headlights
to nip the eye to blind
just kissing the death to reach the meet

Eternal wait in the connection
Anticipating indescribable
Doubting the odds of glee tonight

Waiting for the tune of breadth
In broken acronyms and signs
That I would be there in any instant

Small swerve for the right words
from movie in the weekend
Discreet words rehearsed inside

Obscured in the crowd, meander known
Sight moved up to see a smile
Returned my senses to unclasp leavened

Flirting waves

2007-07-25T01:35:00.000+05:30

I stood in front of you
Holding my legs firm
In the wet sand

Tickle of your arrival
Short of the expanse between
Just to feel you more

Your withdrawal
Tingling my feet
Heave me towards you

I wanted you more
Took a step ahead
This time to tumble

It was you all over
Elation in disclosure
It’s a moment of my dreams

Then you turn bigger
Gushing and threatening
Swathe me to wake my wits

When you dub me
I forgot my past
I loved in chaste

I question you not
Hate I love to leave behind
Reverie to fuse in you

As cliché as it can get

2007-07-23T00:29:00.000+05:30

Think I stop my questions for a minute
For a break, for a cigarette
For a peace in my blood streams
Like I want to feel there no tomorrow

Friend asks have u ever felt, it matter
Break is to distort my thoughts pal
Do you see a beauty in the swirl of the smog
Tell me? Tell me? Can you math in it,

I believe there is a way out
Equation and axiom are here to stay
Ignoring his words and matrix I live
If I ask how does it matter?

Affirmative for a morel tomorrow
I envision a better world
I ask him aren’t you playing god for tomorrow?
Why you believe in him today

Neither of us is clear of tomorrow
It’s the pursuit without answers
Is it an answer without the expedition?
Pardon! Let me enjoy this oblivion moment.

Figured out under the tree

2007-07-21T01:34:00.000+05:30

Just wondering
What was going in your mind?
Serenity is all it takes to get there?

It’s your feats
You attracted fleet of people
Did it mean anything to you?

Smile you choose
Who carried it till this day?
Did you wanted to be immortal

Attire you wore
Did it protect you in the cold?
Did you knew it symbolized destiny

hey!! I know you

strolls on the beach

2007-06-14T17:31:00.001+05:30

On a humid Sunday afternoon
When there is time apt to prune
to rest, to think and to gather our thoughts
Before a blank paper and an empty canvas

Pondering over the strolls on the beach
The sound of waves still linger in thoughts
Conjuring up the sweet memories of the past
And a realization of an innocence lost

On a humid Sunday afternoon
When all of nature feels
A week of work is done and there is rest and calm
The waves on the beach still splash- devoid of any aplomb
Trying to return your innocence

Which you only had forgotten on the beach sometime back
So next Sunday when you are on a beach for a walk
Just reach out to the waves with open hands
And grab your innocence back

----Pushkar vichare

Quest to live

2007-06-09T23:54:00.000+05:30

I lift my head in pain
Sniff to wards life

I smell life
My soul pushes me
Towards it

My body aches
And ask me to stop

Another step to live the struggle
Another breadth to end all for ever
I choose the step
