Musings of an Indian teen

Each face, a story

Each face says a story,
Each passing glance, a life time,
Moulded by circumstances,
Weathered by the incessant tides.

Eyes tempered to deep tolerance,
By the fires or emotional turmoil.
Eyes sparkling with mischief,
Darting back and forth with delight.

Each face says a story,
Downcast with despair,
Worried about unknown circumstances,
Or gleaming with divine Ecstasy.

Fine lines and deep furrows sculpted,
By joy and sorrow in turn.
Hair combed to perfection,
Or bleached white by time.

Each face says a story,
Each color, each line an emotion.
Never was I more crowded,
Nor neither so alone.

  • (after the chennai beaches)



    heavenly chants of the sea



    the moon was high and the waves were too
    these crabs would appear ,reappear ,and dissapear
    making my feet uneasy,weird
    butt rear ,cold wind ,cool air ,black night
    maybe deep into the sea ,there were land s distant,so far far away
    yet wen u see the moon that way
    evrything around appears small and within reach,the sand the water
    the people
    who were few in that time of the night
    the streetlights whish were the last motif of uniformity
    started blinding one by one
    and the rest appeared blurred
    the only couple would be the police men/women
    sitting by the road
    but wen u listen carefully to the sea
    it may call out ur name
    it may tell u that its alright
    u are not raelly pissed off
    its life ,its life and its worth the pain to sit
    and listen to the heavenly chant of the sea
    who knows no strenth greater than his,
    who knows no power who wud make him daNCE
    and yet the moon up there so high smiling gently on the sea
