अभिलाषा

On the journey of life...

अकेला कदम , दो कदम
ढूँढा पत्थर में परछाई
दूरी हुई कभी नहीं कम,
कभी थी सिर्फ़ तन्हाई .

मिली तो थी साथी,
न जाने कहाँ पीछे छूट गई
शायद पुकारी भी थी
एहसास ही नही हुआ.

रफ़्तार काफ़ी बढ़ गई
मानो अपनी गाड़ी में सवार
भागा चला जा रहा
किसी अनजान मंजिल की ओर.

थमा क्षण भर के लिए,
मधुशाला में मदिरापान की इच्छा,
खाने लगी किसी की याद
वापिस पुष्प को छूने की अभिलाषा.

क्षितिज पर अपनी लालिमा,
छोड़ते हुए डूबता सूरज को देखा,
सुशील चंद्रमा को इशारा करते देखा,
नखरीली अदाएं बिखेरने को तैयार देखा.

संध्या अपने जवानी पर
रात्रि कभी लगे करीब , कभी दूर इतना
शायद मंजिल पर होगा सवेरा,
शायद मिलेगा कोई नया नज़ारा.

Reflections on Fall...

fall

Day by day the trees get bare..
...all i can do is sigh and stare...

More than half the leaves are gone..
it seems that mother nature has won..

Wish i could stop the winds..
Wish i could stop the rains..
The sadness that starts that is so unkind..
The agony, lost joy and the pains..

The mercury constantly fails to rise..
wearing an overcoat would be just wise..
The winds brutally hit my face...
i realize the triviality of the human race...

The sun is out and is bright...
i see the spotless sky...
wish there was heat as much there is light..
and i could, just as the birds fly....

Soon all will be black and white...
The days short.. and longer night..
Everyday will be a test for survival..
with the hope of a new revival..

The hope keeps me going..
this will end soon.... spring is coming..
Did you just notice the fall ending?
I thought winter was just starting!

A pathfinder

Pathfinder

I desperately need one..
Where can i find one...
Isn't the journey of life ;
meant to be journeyed alone
You come alone.. you go alone...

Why do we crave for a partner...
Why do we crave for a pathfinder?
