Babasi ka nasha

Ye baavri fiza yun choo ke chali gayi, 
Bebas hua mann hosh ko udte dekh, 
Intezaar hai aise jhoken ka baar baar,
Cha jaaye vo Babasi ka nasha phir ek

New 2 Do

Nothing new!
Bored as Hell!
Time for a new hobby;
Master a new trick.
Write a new song;
Love a new self;
Make some money;
And rock like Nick!

Empathetic Delusion

As you all know I get my inspirations for my poems from things I read, see, hear or do. And today I was reading, http://vrun.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/i-empathise/ and wondered.

This is my response opinion:

Deluding yet Demystifying,
Dreadful yet Timid,
The feeling of the mind,
BEHOLD In emotions is lipid.

Once thought this sounded toothsome,
And now its burning within,
Why do I feel like a sack of smileys?
Am I not made of Flesh n Skin?

 

Greetings for a Life full of Celebration!

Bright like the Sunshine, Moon and Stars, 
Wish your life shines like a spark, 
With Energy and Excitement and Happiness Galore, 
And loads of opportunities to Explore.
May your days and nights hereon, 
Be filled with Smiles and Cheers, a ton. 

A Very Happy Deepavali (Diwali) to you, your family and your friends. 

Smile :) always

Emptiness ...

The sleep without dreams,
The Barrel without Beer,
The feeling of loneliness,
Sorrow without the tear,
Leaves me pondering,
Is this what I've got in store?
Will life give another territory,
For me to explore?

...

Blowing my windpipe with all the nicotine,
Flowing with the air, breathing it in,
Filling my lungs with the cloud of smoke,
And drowning it in with a dash of coke.

Then again it burns deep inside,
I drink alcohol for the blaze to subside,
For a while I feel cool and calm,
Then the liquor starts its charm.

As time passes by, water I need,
In litres and bottles, lots indeed,
Still my thrist is far from quench,
A lot I drink, a throat to drench.

And when I start floating high on life,
Cutting my own wings with an invisible knife,
I am bothered not, of anything at all,
As I beleive I live it, when I die bit by bit.

Ee Bhoomi (for the kids of Dream-a-Dream)

 

Inspired by "Swarathma" on Saturday, and sad that the Kids (in aid of whom the Charity event was conducted) could not be a part of it, I got thinking. There was some association to Music I had to bring to my meeting with the kids, at RoundTable School, close to Bommanahalli, where Dream-a-Dream had assembled 100 of them. 

And suddenly, a few lines that came into my head, turned into a somewhat Kannada song. 

Here are the Lyrics in Kannada (using English letters):

Ee Bhoomi Nammadu, 
Ee Gaali Nammadu, 
Ee Surya Nammadu, 
Aakasha Nammadu, 

Namma Devaru Nave Yella, 
Baduko Reeti Preeti Alva, 
Namma Solige, Namma Geluvige, 
Jimmedarraru Nave Yella. 

Translated (attempted to) in English as:

This Earth belongs to us 
The Wind belongs to us, 
The Sun belongs to us, 
The Sky belongs to us. 

We are our own Gods,
Or Lifestyle is Love thus, 
Of our Defeat, of our Victory, 
The Onus lies on Us. 

I always forget the tune I sing any song in. Hence, I ran home and recorded the tune as Ee_Bhoomi.wav, and (converted from WAV,recorded on Sound Recorder, to MP3, via Audacity using LAME) and  have attached it for 'Posterous' to post, herewith. 

Wish you guys like it, too! The kids did! :) :D

Devil Inside

Everyone has their dark little secrets,

Eveyone are living with stealth spades, 

When shows on TV start stripping us naked, 

Is when wrath and fury cascade. 

 

There is love and hatred between any two, 

Everyone hates to face defeat, 

Even if it from kith n kin, 

None takes it sitting in his seat. 

 

Bringing out the differences is disturbing, 

It causes more than just harmony errosion, 

We aam janta, the mango people, 

Cant live life without suspicion. 

 

When we loose ground of the truth to false, 

And are made to face our inner devil, 

Its pain and tears to all that take hurt, 

As the accused is going through every peril. 

 

That's why my friend, the wise men say, 

Take life in your stride, it aint smooth sail, 

You have to expect the unexpected and smile, 

As every damn color has its pale.

 

A poem for a couple (one year together)

Tender feet, Soft blue eyes,

A giggle, a touch, a glitter bright,

The kick, the push, oh! so sweet,

A soft pink blush on the cheeks.

 

Just like this is our love today,

Humble, innocent, in its own little way,

It feels like we met, just yesterday,

And yet we grew together, everyday.

 

We had our grins, our baby smiles,

The grumpy face, the pillow fights,

My hair you pulled, Your face I scratched,

We fought, I cribbed, "what a lousy match!"

 

Grown-ups? Yes, yet children at heart,

Showing off and acting smart,

The gifts you showered, to the WOW on my lips,

The blush in my eyes, You deserved that kiss.

 

You are the sweetest charm I have met,

I owe you more than these pretty gifts,

I am so glad today, we are an year together,

I truly wish, this moment last forever.
