Our Unsung Protagonists

Clad upon the ignored side of the road,
they made a home of their own,
By gathering metal and tin sheets,
From the great dust dumped around.

They lived, ate, and cleaned the utensils,
All at one single place,
One corner was called bathroom,
Another was called kitchen.

A bucket and mug was kept,
In a corner called bathroom,
A single 'Chulha' was placed,
In a corner called kitchen.

It was their heaven, their only world ,
But,One day their home collapsed,
Those people destroyed their heaven,
Gathered by those diligent hands

Reckless as those people were,
Who destroyed their heaven,
And called it their duty,
To end their little cornered life

The wife almost screamed with terror,
Seeing no home but dust,
The husband got almost mad,
And ran after those people.

Cursing them, Accusing them,
For destroying their only abode,
Collapsed down on the dust,
Blaming their poor destiny.

My heart went out them,
but could not even console them,
I could curse the destroyers,
And, Prayed for them

To my utter wonder,
I saw that home build again,
In the same place,
With the same metal and tin sheets.

My happiness knew no bounds,
Tears of joy rolled down frantically,
They helped me regain trust in my beliefs,
That, Not giving up matters

Many people wither away,
When life puts them down to dust,
But, A real hero emerges,
When he/she decides to face the fight.

They are our real Heroes and Heroines,
They are whom I call,
OUR UNSUNG PROTAGONISTS
They fight with their destinies,
Just to live a little more time,
To survive one more day,
Each time someone breaks their heaven.

Voices and Dreams

My life folds and unfolds itself 
My love brightens and dims

 

At night when I lie on my bed, 
And enter into a deep sleep, 
He injects memories into my soul, 
And appear in my dream, untold

 

I wake up screaming to myself 
"Oh what a fate? I have to face!"
Why does he appear in my dreams
When I had walked away long before..

 

A voice in my heart often prompts me 
He needs you a lot, go there and be, 
I make up my mind to follow the voice,
But, Then another speech arise

 

"Don't be a fool!!" says it
It will be dangerous if you fall
And, I bury my love deep inside
Scattering the existence of those voices,

 

I gather myself and turn away,
To a new morning and a newer day...
But, the voices never stop,
They prompt to me and order a lot,
But, I so helpless, they know me,

Carry on with life with a high spirit and glee...

The Denial...


I deny to look back now,
Yes, I deny to turn back now,
Don't ever call me and stop thinking about me,
Your unsaid vibes reach me and I fail to control myself,
Get lost with all your memories.

Although, I can feel your loneliness clearly,
I deny to look back now,
Every time I felt that you are lonely,
I ran towards you, to help you, to heal you,
Without thinking about the consequences.

But, Not now, Not anymore,
Not because, I can't see how lonely you feel
Nor because, I want to punish  you

But because, I want to see you a Man,
A man who needs no support of anyone,
A man who stands on his own two feet,
Without expecting any understanding from anyone,

The day I see you like that,
Trust me, there will be none as happy as I would be
I know " We can't be together"
Yet, I will always pray for you and your happiness
And you know it...
