A Scream
"Pieces of a broken heart
A jigsaw without a start
Wholesome, it'll never be
Try as much, may you and me"
Meandering, wandering thoughts
Held close to the bosom
A desire to shout out loud
A scream of pain and anger in fusion
A silent spectator to the tyranny
Cursing, loathing the self
Hiding behind a veil of unctuous demeanor
A scream of chagrin and delusion
A failed effort too many
Every defeat, a hole in the armor
A resolution to rise again to the hilt
A scream of darkest fears in seclusion
A looming shadow, murky
Threatening to envelope and eclipse
To abate and suppress
Every scream of exhilaration
Yet
Yet a cognition
To ride over the storm
To weather the tempest
To scream over the scream
Tearing apart in entirety
Everything in the way of utmost destruction
No considerations, none at all
Of the consequences of that one fall
Replete with agony
Not a sound heard
Of the heart wrenching cry
A silent scream
A scream that should have never been
Some don’t even deserve to scream
Ensconced in him his spiteful dreams
Desert him with his agonizing screams

Wading through waters
Deep and dark

Maturity tickling innocence
Among ruins, standing tall and erect
A lissome lass
Poise your forte
Amiability your class
Dignity you portray
A whiff of fresh air
An experience exhilarating
Chaste your manner
To friends, a blessing
A delectable laugh

A latent desire
Abounding compassion
Pure as fire
An idol of fervent love
Auspicious your delight
Asunder your thoughts rove
Sensual, candid, a spark bright

Reminiscent of the charm of yore

Sheer joy your companion
May you win every fight
Each moment, a moment of elation
Ek Safar - Anant
Pag pag aage chalte hoon
Rukta hoon, sochta hoon
Aage chal to raha hoon main
Kya aage badhta bhi hoon?
Ya bas ek andhi daud mein
Hissa hoon ek anjaana
Na kuch pata hai raaste ka
Na khabar ki kahan hai jaana
Manzil jisko sab kehte hain
Kya meri talaash bhi wahin par rukti hai
Kya meri seemaayon ka daira itna hi hai
Kyon seemit kar diya hai maine
Apni un aakaankshaaon ko
Jinke sahare kabhi jeeta tha main
Jo mili thi mujhe saugat mein
Kya bhool gaya hoon apna lakshya
Ya bhatak gaya hoon path se
Ya himmat nahi hai mujhme
Jhelne ki un toofanon ko
Jo hain mere intezaar mein
Jinko kabhi samjha na maine
Layak kisi chinta ke
Aaj khade hain saamne
Dharan kiye ek roop vishaal
Kya uthna hai mera mumkin
Ya hausle se hoon kangaal
Thake hue kadmon mein
Itni bachi hai jaan
Ki le chale mujhe us paar
Jahaan se shuru hota hai mera safar
Anant, anant, anant
Akela
Kyon har lamha sochta tha tujhe
Kyon teri yaad mere khayaalon ko sehlaati thi
Kyon raat ke andhere mein bhi
Ek roshan chehre se sada koi aati thi
Ek pal mere sara jeevan
Aankhon mein utar aata tha
Aur un chanchal nainon mein
Koi apna chehra dhoond nahi paata tha
Ek kiran thi asha ki
Ek tinke sa bharosa
Jiske sahare hua tha yeh aitbaar
Jis kaaran se na maine khud ko roka
Par meri bhool hi thi shaayad
Ya shaayad khaya tha maine dhokha
Akasmaat hi jo thokar lagi
Yaad aaya woh pal jab kisi ne tha mujhe toka
Na chahat hui sambhalne ki
Na uthne ka tha hausla
Ek toote dil ke tukde liye
Main chalta chala akela
