MeCapturing the mesmerising beauty,<br />The sole virtue that God gifted me.<br />Destiny had bestowed upon me this duty,<br />A small treat for the eye of the world to see.<br /><br />The dingy room and that crooked corner,<br />In the dim and haze I lie and ponder.<br />Quiet are the colours of which I am the owner,<br />Awaiting the break of the silence, I wonder.<br /><br />I paint, big,bright,blue and beautiful.<br />Contrary to the dim, dull, dreary day.<br />The portrait's finesse, features, fantabulously full.<br />My work, silent, simple, savoury you say.<br /><br />The eye of the artist is sharp, the mind strong.<br />Observant and meticulous at every gaze.<br />Possesses abilities to bend you from right to wrong,<br />Sketch the hidden you, without the need of a trace.<br /><br />My passion and patience for intricate detail<br />Symbolic is the picturesque infinity around.<br />My God isn't a deity, only my canvas I hail<br />The portraits I define, for me are profound.<br /><br />I desire that each portrait pertains pleasing perfection<br />Worth each drop of salty sweat and sweet blood.<br />I paint my heart out unlike the general convention<br />Inumerable paradoxes and controversies I have always stood.<br /><br />Each painting in disguise is a tale in its own.<br />Every moment,each character, captured and sown.<br />I make angels and demons dwell together.<br />The ironic threads of life hanging to a light feather.<br /><br />Still trying to sketch out the devil inside<br />The need to exile him forever.<br />With him within, my actions I can't decide<br />Will I do away with this insanity, ever?<br /><br />I paint to vent, which I do to survive.<br />Closer to heaven will I get when I drive him aside.<br />From the crusades of sin will I then revive?<br />I will then create my masterpiece, in which I'll bestow my pride.Rishabh

style="text-align: left;">Countless pieces,countless memories.<br />People around me constantly vary.<br />Piece by piece,part by part,<br />I gather those links to my jigsaw.<br /><br />Each portion, a certain phase.<br />Each piece, a person with a different face.<br />Each person, important somehow.<br />Each missing link, a deadlock in the maze.<br /><br />Keen on finishing my puzzle,<br />The nick of time, my head in front of the muzzle.<br />Scrambled was its look during the rush,<br />Abstract stuff always created a fuss.<br /><br />At the time of those terrifying storms,<br />My jigsaw turned down, the pieces scattered.<br />Lost and recollecting memories, I tried fixing it.<br />Storm by storm, my pieces loosened.<br /><br />Some of them refuse to fit,<br />Some lost forever.<br />Creating new memories, resembling a new jigsaw.<br />My recreation I couldn't recognize.<br /><br />Years and years since I created my jigsaw.<br />It has changed unanimously.<br />In learning ways of life it has helped me magnanimously.<br />But, it's not what it always seems it is.<br /><br />I still love playing with pieces.<br />Trials and errors, aiming for the perfect fit.<br />Somehow I managed to fill the vents.<br />One beautiful piece is still missing.<br /><br />Never did I find a piece so perfect.<br />They never seem to fit or are just loose.<br />Still searching for that one piece,<br />For that storm eyes my glee.<br /><br />Moving through I found a piece,<br />Still analysing the dimensions around.<br />Perfect! it's now upto the piece to see.<br />I guess you're the piece, that completes me.<br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Rishabh

at the infinity above,<br />The dreams that lie within subdue.<br />Contemplating on the survival without love.<br />Only waiting for your turn in the bizarre queue.<br /><br />Life simply takes you for a ride sometimes.<br />Unaware the puppets of God dance around.<br />Each puppet only desires to be ALONG TIME???<br />The dumb puppets just follow without making any sound.<br /><br />On the first light at dawn they move.<br />The labour for food and shelter is perspiring.<br />Bodies synonymous to machines with a million grooves.<br />The puppets dream of something worthy,something inspiring.<br /><br />Smooth roads never make good drivers,<br />Constantly tested and required to prove your mettle.<br />Only a strong gust of wind is seeked by the aspiring high fliers.<br />A prolonged expectation of which is fatal.<br /><br />How long is this ordeal gonna be?<br />Why out of the billion only me?<br />Why doesn't my pitiful state anyone see?<br />Is this what destiny has in store for me?<br /><br />On the quest for those unanswered answers,<br />Summoning each one in the vicinity alive.<br />All comprising of the same struggling dreamers,<br />All I want is some answers,I need to survive.<br /><br />Trying to look beyond the failures of the world.<br />Failing to peep inside your own<br />You decided your path,be it straight or curled,<br />The pretence of reaping what is already sown.<br /><br />All you need is a little hope,<br />A small bit of generosity or benevolence.<br />Restricting your mindset from the latest dope.<br />Investing your skills in something that made more sense.<br /><br />That tiny belief can single-handedly perform wonders.<br />The only strenuous part is to know yourself.<br />Your unknown virtues on which you ponder,<br />Emerge as a winner,who knows himself.<br /><br />Don't walk as if you rule the world,<br />Walk as if you don't care who does.<br />Insanity and spasm in which you were hurled.<br />Move out with faith and a pure heart that loves.<br /><br />Be yourself,and be honest about it.<br />Do not hesitate to claim what is yours.<br />Do guide others with the torch you lit.<br />Look behind and see the ego that was before yours.<br /><br />Dream on my friend and strive to achieve them.<br />Stop living like a loser in a godless life.<br />Have an optimism that nothing can overwhelm.<br />Live the dream,love the dream n fulfill your life..Rishabh

ConscienceDeep within those buried souls,<br />Deep within those endless goals.<br />Perished and parched,my virtues taken.<br />Wriggling survival in this God forsaken.<br /><br />I climb,climb hard to reach heaven's brink,<br />No pleasure,no pain,I constantly sink.<br />Conflicting scenarios battling within me.<br />Questioning what my conscience fails to see.<br /><br />An obstruction around every corner.<br />Mishaps averted pertaining all my power.<br />Topsy n turvy personified me,<br />Procrastination as a virtue I show to thee.<br /><br />My subconscious keeps me pondering all night.<br />Jeopardise my thoughts,hampers my insight.<br />Conflicting with the emotions of my adorable.<br />Convincing the irony on her being deplorable.<br /><br />The reality or illusion I choose for survival.<br />My primacy for me being primal.<br />Adhering to the promises that I made,<br />My tyranny onto me I try and evade.<br /><br />Trying to grasp what is beyond the shore,<br />Constantly torn and raped like an ugly whore.<br />My inside altered beyond recognition.<br />A taste of my sins and their redemption.<br /><br />I gaze at the echoing emptiness around.<br />My words hit back,slash at me like a hound.<br />The chaotic campaign has cramped my mind.<br />Contemplating on it is nothing but a churn in the grind.<br /><br />How I crave for that love,will they ever understand?<br />I'm simply the writhing snake in the 'speckled band'.<br />Unaware n unperturbed of my own sly drill.<br />The one who tamed me is the one I kill.Rishabh

isn't perturbing to be alone,<br />Nor it needs to be shown.<br />Only a little disbalance towards the wrong end,<br />Toppling over and around shall be the trend.<br />An undesirable pinch on a sensetive nerve,<br />That dislodge and the following swerve.<br />That attempt to startle in disguise,<br />Failed totally what you had despised.<br />Reflecting withdrawal symptoms from sanity,<br />Revealing a disclosure, full of disparity.<br />Prohibiting my conscince from overlooking the obvious.<br />Truth in disguise suddenly felt vicious.<br />Inability to gather strength from a pure soul,<br />Instability and the desire within makes me bawl.<br />Beyond reckoning now the gaping hole,<br />Exasperating the need for your role.<br />Plunged in that emptiness abound,<br />Cause its a circle, what goes comes back around.<br />Amplified is the treble through circumstances,<br />What was a self initiated clutter when I took my chances.<br />Bruised and numb synonymous to my foreground,<br />Now soothing to the ears is the silence of sound.<br />Pertaining to the ideologies around, I'm a goner,<br />Soon shall it be finished, rather sooner.<br />I'm baffled, from where came this toxicity.<br />Is this insanity,or simply PLACIDITY???Rishabh

/><br />Amidts the haze and shade around.<br />The plethora of fog that surround.<br />Lost and trembling in the dew.<br />The lonely desert be survived by only a few.<br />The bright sheen arose from nowhere.<br />That instant put my life in gear.<br />Took my hand and navigated me through.<br />Steered the ship that had no crew.<br />Turned my life upside down<br />Like a beggar been made in charge of the crown.<br />The ecstasy that I felt inside.<br />All memories undone were shoved aside.<br />My prayer and patience has finally been answered.<br />Extinguished is the fire from which I was always scared.<br />You walked in everything was messed up.<br />All around things were so freaked up.<br />Time spent with you has always been so memorable.<br />Swept so much that emotions felt intangible.<br />You got my life back on track.<br />Fixed up everything that was before abstract.<br />How can I ever thank you for all the help and suport?<br />Your constant motivational help and effort.<br />Took me out of the stress and trauma.<br />Revived from tragedy to melodrama.<br />Felt pathetic when I leaving you.<br />Imagining the next moment when I'd see you.<br />Before you the entire world seemed deceiving.<br />Wanted to hug you one more time before leaving.<br />I promise, with you I'l never fall behind.<br />My thought process as it was will never rewind.<br />Together we will walk hand in hand.<br />You being my lantern, our love will forever expand....<br />MUAH...Rishabh

behind every compliment.<br />Irony concealed in every line.<br />Double meaning words you implement.<br />Stuff you say bites me like a K-9.<br /><br />Contemplating on your thought process.<br />The dilemma that you lie beneath.<br />And even if the bitter truth you confess.<br />Is powerful enough to remove the surface underneath.<br /><br />Unbearable was the pain that you put me in.<br />The numbness that injected you.<br />Excruciating is the punishment of the sin.<br />How will I ever explain this love to you?<br /><br />It was never intentional.<br />Never did I mean a single word of it.<br />You thought this was my only fundamental.<br />To look down upon each bit.<br /><br />You stepped into my life willingly.<br />When the entire world was against you.<br />I loved you exceedingly.<br />May be, that love was never enough for you.<br /><br />The innocent sweet girl that you were.<br />Perhaps the sweetest person I've ever known.<br />Much more than me you deserve.<br />So by me, on cloud 9, you were flown.<br /><br />My 'Delicate Darling' I called you.<br />You insisted on it being antagonistic.<br />Handling romance was difficult for you.<br />So, I wrote letters that were bombastic.<br /><br />The others took you for a ride.<br />Made you follow their lead.<br />On job being done they shoved you aside.<br />Like a worm for the fish to feed.<br /><br />Couldn't accept the harsh reality.<br />I initiated an alteration.<br />To bring a change in you, if not the society.<br />It was inevitable to undergo this desparation.<br /><br />Unquestionable is the fact that I was mean.<br />I did hurt you terribly.<br />Tried to keep my conscience unseen.<br />You did put an effort, which I notices vaugely.<br /><br />I didn't notice things going haywire.<br />The slow poison that injected your veins.<br />You got suffocated, so much so, you couldn't respire.<br />It stimulated a havoc in your brain.<br /><br />Things going out of hand.<br />I decided to break free.<br />Excusing something more than you I deserve.<br />Hurt and shattered, you seemed to agree.<br /><br />Realising my mistake, the moment I siad it.<br />Guess, it was too late to consider.<br />Another chance? The heart was badly hit.<br />Antipodal as we are, it's going to hinder.<br /><br />I cired, begged and wept in pain.<br />Apologised like a maniac.<br />Knew without you I'd no longer be sane.<br />Stark reality like nightmares made me insomniac.<br /><br />More than a year and a half has passed.<br />You wouldn't even remeber a speckle.<br />My memories by you have been stashed.<br />But, I can recall everything, even your tiniest freckle.<br /><br />The motive was right, the protocol wrong.<br />Only desired a better change.<br />Also the implementation was a bit prolong.<br />The person I best knew now seemed so strange.<br /><br />Lost in the process of helping you out.<br />Trust me, I don't want a single credit for it.<br />I know you hate me in and out.<br />Your heart now burns with the spark I lit.<br /><br />Nether do I expect, nor have any demand.<br />This task of mine is still 'UNDONE' to you.<br />I just pray your koys flourish and expand.<br />How will I ever explain this love to you??<br /><br />Take Care....Rishabh

started writing this for a friend who wanted it for his friend...but i ended up writing something for my friends..only a few of my special friends.... <br /><br /> MOVING ON<br /><br />Day dreaming has become a usual habit.<br />I venture day in & out like a lonely rabbit.<br />Into the woods & outta of the bushes.<br />Dreaming to walk in those mesmerising lushes.<br /><br />I always felt the need for your reassurance.<br />But expecting you to care for you was annoyance.<br />For you I was always there.<br />& expected you to be there to take care.<br /><br />You ridiculed me, & my feelings.<br />But for you, I only rained blessings.<br />I told you to be aware,<br />Asked you to take care.<br /><br />“Remember me, cause I will, I swear.”<br />For you this seemed too much a burden to bear.<br />I’ll see you when I come back.<br />Couldn’t imagine you bitching behind my back.<br /><br />“To be or not to be”, Shakespeare said.<br />But you saying “bye” left me dead.<br />Philosophy and random talks took their toll on me.<br />I took several measures to vent what you couldn’t see.<br /><br />Turned to cold meat, numbed my feelings.<br />Looked for help, but people had their own dealings.<br />A few understood, a few did not.<br />Made lots of friends, literally a huge lot.<br /><br />“Why do you victimise yourself?<br />Throw her out, like used paper off the shelf.”<br />Usual questions & usual answers.<br />Losing all control over my mental prowess.<br /><br />Limping & stumbling like that familiar rabbit.<br />Walking around that hole was now a habit.<br />“What goes around comes back around.”<br />No one could sense the depth in my sound.<br />“Get out, find a new home.<br />This isn’t any good with her gone.”<br />My fellow rabbits had moved on.<br />Made me believe that all of them were con.<br /><br />A few stayed, giving me a piece of their mind.<br />These were the melodramatic kind.<br />My emotionally susceptible friends.<br />Who were essentially a mean to all my ends.<br /><br />All but one was sweetest of the lot.<br />She cared for me the most, even though we fought.<br />“We’re hot rabbits”, she always told me.<br />Whenever we were sad of things that we ever couldn’t be.<br /><br />Her heart was somewhere, somewhere too far.<br />She tried reaching it, in her rusty old car.<br />Engine failure, flat tyres and an empty fuel tank.<br />These were usual, & that somewhere was blank.<br /><br />I was her repairman, to help her get back.<br />We were almost there, when somewhere lost track.<br />The map faded away, having nothing to say.<br />And my best rabbit friend did nothing but pray.<br /><br />To go to that mesmerising lush, where she ever wanted to be.<br />She too joined my footsteps, to go where they wouldn’t let us be.<br />It was difficult to explain her, I tried my best.<br />She was very willing to put her love to the test.<br /><br />And so we started our journey, on our rusty car.<br />Only to get high on a roadside bar.<br />We smiled to each other when sunken.<br />And decided to bear each others every burden.<br /><br />Even today, we’re still on our road.<br />Swearing to each other that we’ll never ever break the friendship code.<br />Looking for happiness in small little things.<br />Cause even we’re rabbits, if not human beings.<br /><br />Many a hardships we fared.<br />Many a loosers we scared.<br />Many a joys we cried.<br />Many a sorrows we survived.<br /><br />We shared our troubles, like we did carrots.<br />Always wanting to fly like beautiful green parrots.<br />We were always there to support each other.<br />Unlike some, who didn’t even bother.<br /><br />The journey still goes on.<br />We stupid rabbits have to move on.<br />Our rickety old car, covered with scars.<br />It is all the result of the harmful journey so far.<br /><br />We cried to each other and we wept.<br />Under a lifeless shade, we slept.<br />In our dreams, revived our jolly time.<br />Our jokes, we were all the witty kind.<br /><br />Waking up to realise our uneventful fate.<br />The nostalgia now had a habit to irritate.<br />Trials and errors did make us understand.<br />And one fateful morning, she held my hand.<br /><br />I looked at her & said, “Thank you.<br />“I could never have made it without you.”<br />And she simply said,<br />“Friends never leave each other, Friends never depart.<br />They just sit somewhere silently, deep in each others heart,<br />Saying, I’m still here…”Rishabh

is another situational poem about a "perfect" date...Please bear in mind that this is a 10 min job...<br /> <br /> <strong>LUNCHEON<br /></strong><br />I had a date in a five star hotel,<br />But I’d rather have preferred a motel.<br />Some appetisers and some wine,<br />I was wondering when she’d begin to dine.<br /><br />She was hungry and so was I,<br />But I didn’t have the guts to give those dishes a try.<br />Russian Salad, penne arabiatta with extra cheese,<br />She seemed too difficult to please.<br /><br />Gulping in some pasta, she gave me a disturbing look,<br />And questioned vaguely, ”How much time will that chicken take to cook.<br />You’re so procrastinating sweetheart, I could’ve walked a mile.”<br />“Patience my dear”, I reassured her with a smile.<br /><br />In came more food and then some desserts,<br />“How about blueberry cheese cake sweetie ?”<br />I had to order it for her sake.<br />No money no honey, it seemed to me,<br />The waiter with the cheque and a beaming smile walked towards me.<br /><br />My heart in my mouth, I returned the gesture,<br />Gave it a demeaning look, ignoring my lady’s beautiful features.<br />Looking for brainwaves I scratched my mind,<br />Its no use Rishabh, you’re not that kind.<br /><br />But just then, the cheque disappeared,<br />And I was wondering, “Did God just appear?”<br />“Its my Birthday stupid, and its my treat.”<br />Wow! I just managed to accomplish a great feat.<br /><br />What a miracle, forget God, she just saved me.<br />“Thanx a ton”, I said it with lots of glee.<br />“Anything for you”, she replied nodding her round head,<br />But I could sense that she seemed more interested in the party ahead….Rishabh Ladhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12037476128525897706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554208418673979479.post-55980124419203178362008-10-30T05:36:00.000-07:002008-10-30T05:37:07.302-07:00This is something that I wrote in four boring chemistry lectures.I've inculcated this new passion for poetry. It's pretty simple. The prof thinks that you're thinking about his lecture and writing something simultaneously.So, it works out pretty well for me. This was one of my last conversations with someone(people who know me can make a very obvious guess).It goes on like...<br /><br />Beneath the starry skies,<br />drowned in her gleaming eyes.<br />I could've made it easier to seem,<br />cause everything looked like a beautiful dream.<br />With hurt arms and aching feet,<br />but, what about the heart that bleeds.<br />It wasn't easy, I put myself to the test,<br />to get my heart back, from where I'd left.<br />Walking with hope in my heart,<br />a few months ago that you tore apart.<br />I cheerfully greet you with a smile,<br />but only for this, I didn't just walk a mile.<br />"It's late, what summons you here."<br />"Hi",I said wiping a small little tear.<br />Ignorance and hatred were obvious on her face.<br />I was prepared, "Are you going to take my case?"<br />"Sit",coldly came back the reply.<br />It was her room,I had to comply.<br />"What do you want from me?", she said.<br />"I want you", taking a look at her bed.<br />Remembering the times, when I lay in her arms.<br />Looking at her face that was pure and calm.<br />It has been long since I'd felt her touch.<br />I was emotional, but she could'nt even sense that much.<br />So close yet so far,<br />the pain had left an invisible scar.<br />So much to say, from whwere should I begin,<br />and suddenly she says, "When'l you be leaving?"<br />"I'm sorry,please listen to me."<br />"It's broken and there's no use. How many times you want that from me?"<br />"Just this once, I'm ready to change everything."<br />"Rishabh, all you get from me, is nothing."<br />Explaining things to her was impossible.<br />My emotions and feelings to her were not audible.<br />"Can't you see tha I have changed.<br />It was our true love that you just stained."<br />"For whatever happened, it is you who's to be blamed.<br />You ruined my life and are not in the least bit gonna be spared."<br />"I beg you, don't do this to me."<br />"But what about the curse that you put on me?"<br />"I love you. Come back and we'll be happy forever."<br />"Come what may", she said, "Never!"<br />These words came like a thunderclap to me.<br />In shock I said,"How can you do this to me."<br />"Well, I just did, and there is no going back.<br />But, now I think it's time for you to go back."<br />Tears in my eyes, I wished her good night.<br />Thinking about the times with her, the times we had a fight.<br />"Life goes on Rishabh, you have to move on."<br />From my unstable life, she was now gone.<br />I took one last look at her beautiful face.<br />And felt her heart within me, where I had no place.<br />I wanted to say so much, but I could'nt really dare.<br />All I could say to her was,"Take Care..."Rishabh Ladhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12037476128525897706noreply@blogger.com6
