TAKE ME AWAY....

TAKE ME AWAY TO A PLACE UNTOUCHED

BY AUSTERITY OF LIFE-

WHERE MEADOWS BREATHE WITH FREESIAS AROUND

WHERE WATER FLOWS WITH A CHIMING SOUND

WHERE SOUL'S SETTLE WITH NO FELONY

WHERE GLEE FANS FOR ETERNITY

TAKE ME AWAY TO A LAND UNSEEN-

WHERE EVEN AIR HAS A RENDITION

AND NO ONE'S CLAD IN PRETENSION

WHERE EMOTIONS FLOAT EVERYWHERE

WHERE KINDNESS MAKES ROCKS DISAPPEAR

TAKE ME AWAY TO A PLACE UNFELT-

WHERE NIGHTINGALES SING OF HUMANITY ALONE

WHERE MUSIC RUNS A PERENNIAL BOURNE

WHERE STONES ARE SOFT AS COTTON BALLS

WHERE GRIEF IS CONFINED IN STRONG BUILT WALLS

TAKE ME AWAY TO A LAND  OF DREAMS

TAKE ME AWAY FROM FORLORN REALITIES

TAKE ME AWAY TO A PEACEFUL WORLD

TAKE ME AWAY, AND LET HAPPINESS UNFURL...

DEPRESSION

this one was written 2 or 3 yrs back.wrote it 4 ma coll magzn....n just clarifying...i m not depressed....its just a thought....

Life has become a bonded labour now,

Happiness has gone into self exile.

Dark clouds of sorrow and grief,

Have been sent by melancholy,

To wash away all the bright memories.

All that are left with me are-

The dull silent cords of depression.

As augured by fates,

There will be no more laughter.

The bourn of joyful times is now sunken forever.

Though the steel white sun still shines,

It enlightens only my pains and sufferings.

So I surrender myself now

And embrace depression with my mocked but last smile….

-VAISAKHI MISHRA

MORNING STAR

YEARS OF DARKNESS FADING AWAY

GOT JUST ONE MORE NIGHT TO STAY

NOW I'LL SEE LIGHT OF LIFE AGAIN AND AGAIN

ABANDONING THIS DARK DEN

WAITING FOR THE MORNING STAR.....

TO COME AND HEAL MY EYES

TO COME AND SHINE AND MAKE THINGS BRIGHT.....

RELEASE ME FROM THE SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT

THE DOOMED DARKNESS CRIES ALOUD

AS I SEE THE RAY OF HOPE

AND BUTTERFLIES AND RAINBOW DYES

ARE GONNA COME ON MY WAY ALONG

WAITING FOR THE MORNING STAR.....

TO COME AND HEAL MY EYES

TO COME AND SHINE AND MAKE THINGS BRIGHT.....

RELEASE ME FROM THE SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT

THE FEEL AND TOUCH WILL HAVE A SIGHT

FROM NOW ON FOREVER

I'LL SEE THE SKY AND WATER BLUE

AND SEE THINGS HOWEVER

THE GREEN LAND LUSH I FELT FOR LONG

WILL NOW GLAZE MY EYES

AND EVEN THE DARK AND ENDLESS NIGHT

WILL BE STAR LITE AND O MOON SO BRIGHT

COME RELEASE ME,

FROM BONDAGE OF THIS NIGHT....

COME RELEASE ME,

FROM SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT....MORNING STAR.....


-VAISAKHI MISHRA

theme- a blind girl is gonna get back her sight in less than 24hrs....n she is waitin....i 

BY THE SEA.....MEMORIES....

I SET OUT AGAIN, ON THIS WINTER NIGHT,

TO DETACH MYSELF FROM THIS OSTENTATIOUS RING-

NOT TO EMBRACE SORROW AND MELANCHOLY

BUT TO WALK BY THE SEA.

BY THE SEA I FIND MY FOCUS

HERE IS THE SPACE TO BE MYSELF

COMMUNE WITH SURF AND SAND AND SKY

REGARDLESS OF QUESTIONS OF WHEN N WHY.

UNDER THE PLAYING CANOPY OF-

THE MELLIFLUOUS MOON AND PALM LEAVES,

I PONDER ON SPECIAL MEMORIES OF MINE

TO FEEL THE INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF LIFE.

THE TOUCH OF SAND SEEMS ETHEREAL TO ME.

CRACKING OF WAVES THE SWEETEST MELODY.

CARESSING WINDS REMIND WITH THEIR HOWLS.

THERE ARE MOMENTS WHEN SOLITUDE REFRESHES THE SOUL.

I WALK BACK TO WORLD OF ENDLESS DREAMS.

TO WAKE TO MY GOALS OF REALITY.

BUT HERE I STAND TREASURING IT ALL

INTO A GOLDEN RING OF MEMORY.

-VAISAKHI MISHRA

A SOUL TRAPPED IN AMBER

-INSPIRED BY THIS PIC CLICKED BY ARUNDHATI CHATTERJEE....:)


n yes this is not melancholic....:P




LAUGH, AS MUCH AS YOU CAN
PITY YOUR HEART OUT FOR ME.
BUT PITY IS FOR YOU, NOT ME
EVEN THOUGH, I AM A SOUL TRAPPED IN AMBER.

YOU THINK MY LIFE IS BOUND IN THIS TINY BALL?
THEN YOUR THOUGHTS ARE WORTH NOTHING AT ALL.
CAUSE I TWIST AND TURN, WITH EYES WIDE OPEN
TO SEE A WORLD BEYOND THIS GREEN SPECTRUM.

I LIVE WITH WISH AND WITH HOPE
AND WITH THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY I'LL SURELY ELOPE.
YOU SEE YOUR WORLD FULL OF MISERY
BUT NATURE'S BEAUTY AND GLEAM IS ALL I SEE.

MIRTH AND HAPPINESS SEEM COALESCING IN ME-
YOU HATH NO EFFECT ON ME, FORLORN STYMIE!
PROCRASTINATE ME FOR HOW LONG YOU WANT
BUT I AM DESTINED FOR WORLD, OUTSIDE OF THIS BOND.

I'LL GLIDE IN SKY, AS A CARELESS BIRD.
FLOAT THE SEA, AND DO THINGS ABSURD.
WALLOW IN SNOW, FOR NIGHT AND DAY.
GALLOP LIKE A HORSE, AND DO THE WIND AWAY.

LAUGH AT MY QUEER WISH, O WHY?
IF RAPUNZEL WAS LUCKY, SO CAN I.
SO PLAY WITH ME FOR THE REMAINING TIME-
SOON I'LL BE FREE, LEAVING THIS PULVERIZED CHIME.

-VAISAKHI MISHRA

MY LONELINESS...

IN A DARKENED ROOM
I TURNED AROUND
AND FOUND YOU STANDING BEHIND ME.
UNDESIRABLE, YET OMNIPRESENT
IT WAS YOU, MY LONELINESS.

YOU FIND YOUR WAY
THROUGH WEBS AND CHAINS
OF IMMENSELY CROWDED PATHS
TO REMIND ME , I AM NOT ALONE
YOU ARE THERE WITH ME, ALWAYS
MY LONELINESS!

ALONE YOU ROB ME OFF THE GLEEFUL RAY

AND SET ME UNDER A GLOOMY DOME.

STILL YOU BE A STERN COMPANION
AND LET ME NOT BE ALONE
O YOU, MY LONELINESS!

TILL THE TETHER END OF LIFE

I HAD NO ONE BUT YOU.

FATES CARVED MY STEPS SO HIGH
NO ONE DID REACH ME BUT YOU.
EVEN NOW WHEN I LAY UNDER THE GREEN WORLD,
I AM STILL ACCOMPANIED BY YOU-
YES YOU, MY DEAR LONELINESS!

-VAISAKHI MISHRA

EXPECTATIONS.....

this one is 4 people bugged by this devil constantly....n have to battle wid its best friend "EXAM" sooner or later...

OOH NO! HERE IT COMES AGAIN

TO BEAT ME AND BASH ME,

TO CAUSE ME A PAIN

THAT IS HARD TO BEAR.

MY SIGHT IS BLURRING NOW

AND I AM TURNING DEAF-

OR, IS IT THE PRESSURE OF "IT"-

THAT MY MIND IS ALL BLANK.

MY DAD LOVES IT MORE THAN ME.

MY MOM ADORES IT.

BUT NO ONE IMAGINES EVER,

IT'S MY BIGGEST ENEMY.

LOOK IT IS SMIRKING AT ME,

GOD! IT IS TORTUROUS.

WHY ON EARTH DO YOU EXIST?

GET AWAY, YOU-'EXPECTATIONS'!

YOU BURDEN ME MORE THAN MY SINS DO.

YOU CROSS OVER MY CAPACITY.

STILL, PEOPLE JUST MULTIPLY YOU,

AND REDUCE ME TO A CYPHER.

O EXPECTATIONS LEAVE ME ALONE

LET ME RESIDE IN MY DOME OF CAPACITY.

YOU RULE NOT MY HEART OR MY MIND,

BUT THREAT ME, THAT I'LL SUBLIME.

GO AWAY, PLEASE GO-

SORROW IS A BETTER COMPANION THAN YOU.

WHY PUT YOUR WEIGHT ON ME

AND ROB ME OFF MY CONFIDENCE.

JUST LET ME BE A SOLITARY SOUL

SATISFY ALL WITH MY BEST.

YOU DO NO GOOD TO A HUMAN BEING

 ABANDON, JUST - YOURSELF.

LET CONFIDENCE AND CAPABILITY REGAIN THEIR REIGN

DO NO MORE HARM, SPOIL NO MORE MOOD.

EXPECTATION, LEARN, STAY IN A BOUND-

AND LET POSSIBILITY CREATE A FENCE FOR YOU.

-VAISAKHI MISHRA

HOPE.......a good start for everything i guess...

DRENCHED SHE STANDS

AGAINST THE COLD WINTER WINDS.

DRENCHED IN GRIEF AND DESPAIR-

THE MOON SHINES GLORIOUSLY,

AS NIGHT FALLS, STEALING

ALL HER DREAMS AGIAN.

SHE STANDS THERE,

STARING AT A FLICKERING CANDLE,

PONDERING OVER STRENGTH,

STRENGTH PUT UP BY THE WEAK LIGHT

AGAINST THE RUTHLESS WIND.

AND THERE, IT CROSSES HER MIND-

SHE STANDS THERE

NOW WITH "HOPE"

BESIDE A SEPULCHER OF MISERIES

THE HOPE, THE LIGHT WILL SUSTAIN THE WIND.

THE HOPE, THE SUN WILL COME AGAIN.

THE HOPE, SOON THERE WILL BE SPRING.

 SHE STANDS THERE

WITH A FAINT SMILE

FAINT, BUT STRONG

STRONG AS THE HOPE BUILT ALONG

THE FACADE OF MELANCHOLY, FOR LONG.

KNOWING, THINGS WILL HAVE A "NEW BEGINNING".
