Hangover


A hangover - a feeling of uneasiness and imbalance after a previous night's exposure to sudden and accelerated dose of intake of intoxicant. A letdown as after a period of excitement
maybe not.
maybe hangover is the body's way to reach balance. a state of equilibrium. the mind's way of resetting itself. the heart's way to tune itself.
My first hangover found me lying down in no man's land and I had a session of questions and answers floating in my mind that made me lose time, disregard time,the past, the present and the future.Its like I was asking myself the right questions, I seemed to have the answers to every question. Even as Alcohol was taking control over my body, my body, the very body that welcomed it carelessly, was now fighting a battle, was rejuvenating. a point of time when you feel and know the body needs you. The body respects you. you have the closest connection to your body at times of distress and uneasiness as the pain is intrinsic to only you and your body.Life is a full of such moments of excitements and letdowns. Its these letdowns define how exciting a previous moment was, how comfortable you are with your body, how much you trust it and how much the body trusts you. Its a human way of spitting out the undesirable and retaining the only thing that matters.I am looking forward to my next hangover cos I know my body will be ready for it, I will be ready for it.
I am not the best in business to hold one's alcohol.But I know I am in business and so is my life when I am hit by a hangover.

Baby Boy



this world is so funny
I can almost laugh with my one eye almost closed
and the other eye winking at You
yes, You who has been following me and my dreams
come over, chat me up
I promise you will love me
I don't bite, yes I do break hearts
then again the heart grows fonder
when it is breakable
when it is unpredictable
like this world
like you
like me

Infinity

its half past 3 in the morning
an we are here together
on this very bed
holding on to each other
The touch of your skin
makes me forget where we are
and tomorrow we are not together

this night is so deceiving us
you have a flight to catch
I have so many things to do tomorrow
here we are locked in time
my hands seem to know what to follow
The taste of your lips
fills my heart we thought was hollow

the sight of your pretty you beside me
makes this night feel much longer
my heart was longing for this
I could feel you from start all over again
I've got something started
I just might not how to stop this

its half past seven I wake up to the morning
you are still asleep
on this very bed
as I put on my clothes to leave
I take another look at your sheet
this night had skipped a dream
answering a question or two in return

sometime, somewhere in between now
and infinity we shall meet

The Invisible hands





Sailor Boy

You have sailed too far, too long

sail back my friend my brother

your little one waits for you here

lost, confused and consumed

this shoulder needs your right arm

to be placed over them

and your left arm to show him the way

This little one has gone to far , gone too long

show him back his home

these invisible hands of yours

need some rest.

Sucker

We always look for answers
Answers to questions we know of
Questions we think we know of
Why do we look for answers?
What if Life is perfect without answers
I look back at my life, different frames, different ages
The most testing times are when I start looking for answers
Answers to the Lines. The Lines I draw, The Lines I cross
Those are the times, when I deviate from the norm
I do something not expected of me. It shocks me
questions my morals, my integrity, my values
And I start looking for answers.
What if there is nothing really wrong with me, with us
Yes, I do not use my hands like most guys
What if we are changing every day every hour
Whether our conception of a perfect body
the perfect food, the perfect hair style
the perfect clothes, the perfect son
the perfect friend, the perfect lover
the perfect employee, the perfect student

The perfect student of life is not who looks for answers
but the one who asks the right questions at the right time
not because he knows of them
not because he understands them

just because he doesn't care of the answers

Its 2 am.I am hungry. I will not look for an answer. I will suck my bowl of cold moist cereals.
I am and always was a born sucker.

Waters

This might not be Love
Its feels so good
This might be just a feeling that feels so good

Always fearful of those waters
that can wash away all my wounds

This might not be love
Its just a phase in my life
I cannot comprehend
or react to

I cannot swim in these waters
And what If I might not have to

What if these waters
are carrying me
to my love

This might not be love
But If it is
I am willing to stay afloat
without a struggle

If I drown,so I shall
with no fear nor doubt
with hope to rise again

even if another life time

This might not be Love
But if it is
I am willing to pretend.

icchā - want

I want you woman
like never before
this very moment
I want you
But I want you to want me too
makes me wonder
If then I would want you more
or want you less
what is that you want me to do?
to want you more.
to want me more.
just tell me what you want
and I'll want you
like I've never wanted
a woman I wanted
ever before
And yes, maybe then you'll want me too
to want you.

icchā - desire

tujhse maanga dil,tera dil de de
{ I asked thou for your heart, give me your heart }

ishq se maanga tujhko, mujhe ishq de de
{ I asked Love for you, give me your love}

rab se maanga ishq, apna rab de de
{ I asked Him for Love, give me your faith}

zindagi se maanga wo pal, ek aur zindagi de de
{I asked Life for that moment, give me another lifetime}

kya na maanga tu ne mujshe
{What is that you didn't ask me?}

ab mera dil de de
{Now give me back my heart}
