I write.
I write of my dreams,
And of my nightmares,
Of my wildest fantasies,
Of grim realities my eyes see,
I write.
About my petty neighbours
About the kids I see everybody
Running naked, barefoot, with bloated belly
About smell of my damp books
About Fort’s secret, silent nooks
I write
About the Temptress’s wet hairs
And her warm bosom I shared,
With many of her lovers.
About the shy girl from school
Who’d often give me looks, from her books
I write
About my darkest days,
About my brightest days,
About the morning mist on the leaves
And the orange sun on the eves
I write
About my dreams of the mountains
And the green valleys and snow
About the place where I want to die
And the places where I’ve grown
I write
For a voice inside me calls
And another one screams in pain
I write to answer the call
I write to subdue the pain
I write
To defy my Gods
And to please my demons
I write to expose the lies
I write to flee the truths

I don’t want to be an island
I want to be the sea-wind
Who’ll live everywhere, at once
In the hearts of those, who crave for the sea
Well I think you’re surely well along to finding your sea breeze.
thanks Anna!

Ah! Amazing….
As a writer you are often questioned about your genre…
This is a beautiful answer….
Don’t ever restrict yourself!
Keep writing…..

Yeah, its only me who questions myself on the limits of my genres, but I guess i don’t have to think much as long as my mind is telling my hands to write/type 🙂

Man this is your best poem that i have read
it tells one everything about you ( at least those who understand)
its like a river taking turns flowing through the hills , the meadows , the plains and ending into an ocean.
One of Great Depth.

Honestly man! you live upto my expectations all the time. DHAMAKEDAAR!
A perfect blend of philosophy, poetic insight and reality. Just like Beethoven’s fifth symphony (My personal favorite)
As the sun rises and birds start chirping, your pen starts writing and makes us feel that we are dumb earthlings 😉

And another one screams in pain
