Rhymes & Thoughts

THE END... When does it end? Every breath, every second, every move; From the trees teetering to the wind, to the distant call of a bird, Of a faintly heard smile of a child far away, To the motion of the stars and shallow clouds in the sky, Forwards it moves, forwards. And only forwards; It moves, achingly dragging us along; Cosmos births from it, The mother, Dies from it ironically; It is, The rapid enemy and the slowest friend, If you see it, ask its answer; When does it end?... Why does it end? Every loving father, every ever-caring mother; Every relation of blood, that thickens our brethren's bond, Every seed, every giant, Every God, every saint, Every outcast and every malefactor; Every star and stardom, every king and his kingdom; Falls, falls and surely falls, With it, everything falls, either false or truth; Everything that is, would soon not be, For seemingly it's the only truth, So when you see it, ask its answer, Why does it end?....            ...

QUESTIONS Days pass, world turns and years go by, Leaves fall, flowers wither, yet our hopes so high; The wheel stops, the spinning halts oh!, who's the ally? Distinctions diminish and the race ends ha!, how hard we try?! Fullness empties and vacuum fills like one notorious spy; How bright do we want? How far can you see, With hundreds of screens blinding our eye?; How long do we wait? How deep do we reach? To know all of its why; We smile and we keep walking, no matter how hard we sigh!!; Existence is frustration, but to whom do we cry? To the seas?, to the wind or to the moon in the sky? To the Gods or the lives around us?,  Can you kindly reply?; We toil like beasts, so hard, that our mouths go dry, No river or rain can quench that thirst, And you could never deny; For all of us reach that point, When we lie awake, even to the greatest lullaby; Is any of this real?, Wise man!, could you possibly justify? Too late we reach that poin...

SHADOWS What is it with you, oh shadows?, Why are you so underrated when, You're the most important? Why aren't we learning from you? For you hold the keys  To triumph, To redemption, To art and salvation, And to all the glowing parts of creation; You, oh shadows!, you are the other half of our identities, For there are no complete sins or proprieties; Your presence reminds us of what we might become, If we forgot to face the light, putting you behind; You engulf us in the absence of light, Showing us, The stark reality of how miserable everything is, Showing us, how viciously vile the world can be, And how ignorant we are, By shutting ourselves out of the true colors, By blinding us with light, that fools us into beauty and hope; I'm sure you're aware, Of how important your enemy is, To all of us, and that's why you decided to lie behind us, Showing yourself up, only when we really need to see you; I n...

THAT NEW PATH Hear oh hear!!, victims of the stereotype, Yes indeed, those demons were right; They wanted you to step out of the flow, So that you'll realize they actually wore halos; You ignored the scream of the soul, You ignored the voice from the sky and kept away from the glow; You went behind your predecessor, thinking it'll be a hike, Excited from the nerves to trust the guy on stage with a mic; You were enthralled by the flow of the adrenaline spike, It took away your faith, Your devotion, hope and life, Making you numb and pale; I can feel you mate, hear oh hear!!, Hear as I narrate; my tale. In the age of excitement, I remained calm; When all opted for the route, I snuck out toward the dirt, I made sure I was without a company or qualm, I kept walking no matter how much it hurt; Without any regrets or guilt, Commons laughed, ridiculed and of course they mocked; They were obscured and oblivious to the rare, Showin...

THE SECRET In the darkest of the dark, I saw the same torch I left, Unmoved, still giving out the same light; But there was another standing near it, Basking in its warmth; I went on claiming it, only to be stopped, He said it was his, not knowing I kept it there, Argued that he found it first, While I went out to quench my thirst; I gestured and smiled, to make him look at the torch again, All this time the torch crackled, While animals from deepest' roared and cackled; My name was clearly etched in plain, I was gonna fight for it, whether I lose or gain; Though I felt like I was the one who abandoned, True love or hate will never leave you stranded; Whatever I promised to it would never be wrong, Though I went far far away, in my heart, I still heard its song; It was the only one, that kept me going for so long, Gave me hope, love and faith to be strong; It was such, that its glow gave me vision, Even through the darkest path, i...

VOICE OF A CLOUD I'm alone, but are there really no one around? I'm detached, but don't I ever feel like walking the ground?! I ride the winds and I float above, Making the world happier and filling it with love; I'm the sense of mystery and the source of hope, I bring peace and dip the heat as I run down the slope(s); I roam free from the seas, land and round; I may look soaring, but you should know I'm too bound; With eagles flying beneath me looking for prey; For some, I may seem like gloom in grey; But I'm in no mood to look into you, I carry loads of life which is ready to spew; I know I look glorious and beautiful from your view, But you should know I'm the first one from our crew, While we're welcomed by the dance of peafowl and breeze, Our might is felt even deep within the seas, With the teetering of the trees, People's hearts turn to us and sees, They beg for our blessings and asks us to please; We are the life...

OUR LIVES Thanks for reminding, yeah, I speak through letters, Usually letters of peace, but you let them forget; When did majority of us become critters, 'cause not all of us, have a way of ours, Yet we blame others for what we get; Two men, two differing opinions and power, is enough for chaos, I ask, What is our life worth?!; We're born, we're alive and then we're dead; I get your point, so who cares what we do, That doesn't mean, you gotta paint the whole world red, You mind, there are others, other than you too; All of life is nothing but a rare mistake, Of the divine hands; But it's still precious to us, give or take, Leading us to our errands; Religions failed, doctrines failed, governments failed, "You ask me how?, I say look around"; Murderers walking, corrupt ruling and rapists bailed, Aren't they supposed to be buried underground; The clap of peace is audible, only when there are ...

AN ODE TO RAIN Just boarded the train, After walking all the way in rain; With the train's ignorance telling me, "It's really bad, if you get wet above knee"; But I know I was almost drenched, still I realized we are our own universe, I felt, it was me, thanking myself for a good day, While others were swearing it, as I say; From just the petrichor to flooding the drains, The divine tune was audible from the trains; With every rock, the train went dancing, From station to station, listening to rain sing; It's a gentle reminder to break the routine. Its mandatory to experience it while you're a teen; Without it, world's nothing but a trash bin, And frankly, pausing life has never been a sin.                                                     -Arun Krishna G

TONIGHT'S TALE Tonight, tonight I wonder, With just the moon witnessing my solitude, I stopped to look back and yes I've progressed; But why the hole in the heart, I ponder; Maybe loneliness is a windfall of being unique; Tonight, tonight I wonder, Where are the golden fruits that I bit, With everyone around me seeing it, Lauding me, hailing me, I'm failing to see what I hit; Earned the honey, but can't feel the taste; Holding the drink, but can't take a sip; Maybe numbness is a windfall of being peculiar; Tonight, tonight I wonder, Tell me you gentle moon, I'm missing the same half as you; Tell me you radiant sun, I'm missing the same company as you; Why do they like you for missing your counterpart; Maybe separation is a windfall for having a heart; Tonight, tonight I ask, The world is filled with tasks and people wearing masks, How am I gonna find my half, Do I lift the masks or befriend Him?; ...

ABOUT A GIRL...❤ …. The hourglass chimed with the sweetest voice to be heard, Yes, it was her, As bright as the sun, as cool as the moon, As graceful as the wind, man!, it had to be a boon; She was an angel, who taught me what to look for in a girl, God!! For a moment I thought I was going down a whirl; Just like how the unsinkable sank and the indestructible broke, She cracked me open, "I'm punishing you with a boon", God spoke; I felt elevated up the rank, Like on an elevator, Saw the whole world disappear beneath me, to be frank. "Lucifer, we are God's best creation, I'm witnessing it", I felt my body getting sacred bit by bit, Inside's getting lit; Stunned I was, breathtaking she was; Realized I was charmed, only when she left; Not sure how much of my heart was left, I saw her everywhere, I got parts of myself, Saved it in a book on a shelf, It was about a girl....                  ...

NEW DAYS, OLD MEMORIES....!!! I haven't done this before actually, as I rarely look back at the days of past for the sake of recalling the events. But I know I have to do it now because this year, 2017, was indeed a life changing year.  The year began like just another day with my profile being a higher secondary kid, preparing for the boards with just hardly 2-3 months remaining. It was fun, I have to admit. The pressure I felt as a student of second-year higher secondary, makes me smile every time. I was pretty sure of what I was doing and what I was about to do after my schooling, and my family also was providing me the right ratio of moral support, because of which, that pressure makes me smile, as it was just an illusionary pressure. Just like any other conventional school in the state, MARKS were the most important thing. No matter how knowledgeable you are, you will be judged only by the marks on your report card. The system and the society is to be blamed, not ...

RUVIK - THE ANTAGONIST Ruvik's projection inside the STEM Ruben Victoriano(aka)Ruvik, as many do not know about him, is portrayed as the antagonist, in the game called THE EVIL WITHIN .  Its a wonderful game and I'd surely suggest you guys to give it a go.  But the main reason for this blog is not about reviewing the game, instead its about the main villain,  Ruvik. After going through the whole game I felt like I can speak about something on this matter. Ruben Victoriano, is introduced as a heir of the very rich Victoriano family, but right from his childhood, his parents were disappointed with him. He was a mentally unstable kid, or he is "portrayed" as being such. He was not a very friendly kid, mainly because he was shunned away by others due to his appearance and his very eccentric and aberrant mannerisms. The only other soul whom he loved and got love from, was his sister named, Laura , who gets killed by a fire accident caused by people w...
