Introducing my fellow poet- Kuldeep Dubey - also a fantastic para- athlete from JNU.
Windows have always fascinated me For even in my infancy, I am told, The impish tot I was, I would climb them all Anywhere, everywhere Anytime, every time Climbing the windows gave me pleasure not felt ever since And I, dipped in childish bliss Would climb them all Anywhere, everywhere Anytime, every time As I grew up into a youthful child I realized in utter disdain That the dear window Acted at times like an iron curtain Hiding the reality from everyone alike My obsession with windows In a world with enough doors shut led me to a place unimagined Where hate, subordination and subjugation Were dissolved in the worldly air The many prejudices of the world Viewed through the window Haunted me like an apparition loyal In the perfectly imperfect society Which appeared to me, like a jail, A prison that no one could escape. ~ Echoes Of Ink
*The Final Goodbye* It all began when at An encounter chance, Over poetry we both held dear We crossed path, and something sparked I had her at her lowest, She had me at mine, Together we tried writing Our own poem not destined to rhyme Fate had been cruel to us both I had my own issues, she had hers Together we held fort Fighting death like a sport We knew in our head About it being a battle lost But with spans of black-outs ever frequent She knew in her head That a final goodbye Was always around the corner And so the day came, When she in her final moments With gasps of breath almost stolen Wished me a birthday happy, Whispering in my ears A shattered cry, a feeble plea She lived through the pain And ensured my birthday Doesn’t turn an anniversary any different The cruel fate at play again She left the world for something better Where she can be at peace eternal And now I roam in mourning eternal Seeking her in silenced echoed wails Wanting to fight death face to face For I have lies to expose And a wound to heal I remember her in the youthful twilight Searching for her through matured noons Seeking her through the evening gloom The sombre clock ticks in mourning silence I live with this curse of losing her, Of loving so deep and with all my heart Only to find her in deep eternal sleep I cradle sorrow, as if a bane, As I rot beneath the vast sky Tearing up at her final goodbye ~Echoes Of Ink
*Permanent Gunges* As I see bodies in audacious lunges, It dawns upon me that we live, In home like bogs that are permanent gunges, Usurping way more than we give. Whining away in hidden caskets, That each human carries along, Goodness buried deep beneath layers of darkness, Is insufficient to dry up the permanent gunges. So it is best that we invest, In making world the best, Illuminating it with humane sunshine, Putting an end to the permanent gunges ~ Echoes Of Ink.
*Hold on* Hold on to the moment.. This is precious. The spirit is free,The soul is ferocious. The night giggles the day amazes Dear, You're living your best days. Get out, get hurt revert gain. Be unique,Be insanely sane. Prone to win the scene with intent and desire I hold within me, the calmest wind, the wildest fire. Abundant Gentleness covered by chaos Immortality in veins , whispered the raindrops. The branches sways, exclaims the trees Within you rests an endless bliss. The music the tune the folk the lore.. He owns them with an serene ardour Indeed the deed would decide his fate Indeed he will be greatest among the Greats. ~ Kuldeep Dubey
*Phoenix on the Track* Panting the lungs out, The heartbeat, hypersonic, I do my track routine, Chasing those lines, As if a matter of life or death. The track, which burns, Like a wildfire beneath my feet, Takes me to places only imagined hitherto, I ride on the wind to outrun thunder, In my strides, the adrenalin high. The silence tense, On steel-blocked lanes, Is louder than the cheers around, Almost like a lull before the storm- With the guns boom, I fly, I run. I am tested by the wind, I am tested by the sun, I am tested by my mind, I am tested by my heart, My muscles heat up with fire. I am tested by my own resolve, When even after the last drop of sweat , The form breaks down, though the will stands tall, I fall, I flame, to rise every time anew, I burn to stand tall like a phoenix in fiery skies. With every heartbeat my mind fuels my claim, Through heat and haze and dust and daze, Neither for glory, nor for fame, Like a phoenix, I blow hot, I blaze, Just for the fire which screams my name. I race for passion, I race as a game, I race neither for glory, nor for fame, I race with legends, I race with the greats, Neither for the record books, Nor for some lame stadium name. I’ll take the wins, I’ll take the losses, I’ll take the pleasures, I’ll take the pains, I rise, I fall, I burn, I rise, Like a phoenix on the track. ~ Echoes Of Ink
*Exhausted* Being exhausted Is more than a feeling Not really a state of mind More so a state of souls Enervated, worn-out, tired Not that I am not happy I can definitely not say this I am happy, though not chirpy Just that I feel a little low I feel exhausted They say I am worn out Drained, not physically, But rather emotionally down The enemy within, probing, If I was on my last legs It seems as though The world is dead And I have no one to talk to Even my loyal pillow Preferring tears than me I have nothing to say I would rather just not talk Even the life that I have Seems to be borrowed There is no certain tomorrow You can't hurt me now I found peace within myself Resigned to my fate But as I self doubt, Can I do my best ? I hope to rise, To search for my broken stars Even in the drawers of Innocence Wrapped in a scarf of wonder If I don't believe in myself, No wonder, no one will. Everyday it is like this I break down by the night Regrouping myself in the morning Repeating countlessly, Miles to go before I sleep. I will rise, my friends Even from my ashes For death and I, Are sworn enemies Exhaustion, an illegal tenant. You may keep me down But you can't keep me out That is my message To my dear exhaustion Hoping that it gets exhausted. ~Echoes Of Ink
*Another Chance* Everyone seems to know What I deserve, None ever wanting to care About what I desire Perhaps they may buy me off But I warn them loud and clear They won’t even get to touch me Life, they say, Doesn’t always Give you a second chance Some, like me, however, Defy all odds To snatch from life Another chance We promised to each other Hand in hand, Heart in heart Miles to go before we sleep But finding nothing in our favor We decided to step aside, Yet remain firm When the going gets tough As they popularly say, The tough get going I know this may look odd, But my dear past, Would you mind giving Love, another chance? Not a day, I can tell you, Has ever since passed, When I did not remember You in my thoughts— Those texts, photos and smiles, All fly by, still very fresh, Lighting up a dull sky. I fondly remember you And shall ever do so. That smile of yours, May it rejuvenate, Flowers dropping dead Brightening up in the process A thousand dim skies Your shady curly hair Shielding the beautiful you From the sinister world They’ve been blessed To calm many uneasy souls Channeling their vigor, In something of greater worth. In our parting note, I remember you saying, That I deserved something More brighter, more worthy, Of my time and energy. But my friend, all that glitters, May not necessarily be gold. This worldly idiosyncracy, I hate it so dearly. I rather prefer to build a hut Than to inherit a palace grand Money could never buy me, And it never ever shall. My priority always - the heart As you read this, Trying to conceal the emotions Anger, happiness, and laughter, Kisses thy gentle soul. Asking you, in perfect silence, Do I deserve another chance? Will you give me another chance? ~ Echoes Of Ink
Take me deep in the ocean I wanna fight the shark,swim with the whale Be a force with unstoppable motion. Putting a mind boggling,inspiring tale Take me to the sky, I want to fly above eagle , I want to fly sublimely high, Giving it only shot,not couple Take me to the dense forest Wanna fight with tiger run, with cheetah I'll give it all in that inhuman test I'll be the best you see, see ya! Take me in the fire Where courage falls short I'm not a lier I'm there running, running non stop Take me to the place Where the absolute reigns Where I wanna look greatest among the greats To be it..Giving it all ready for all the pains Take me wherever Whenever you desire In the stormy wind, flooding water or burning sun There I'll become thunderstorm, unshakeable rocks and fire I'll do whatever, whatever it takes to be number one! ~ Kuldeep Dubey
*THE GREATEST GLORY* A sea of thoughts I neglect. I know the Greatest wealth I have is the present moment And I am not the one figuring out life as that I know 'life is all I create' What worry what stress Darling, just track every breath you take Have a canvas of purpose to paint your life on. As the ocean does, from everything be unfazed, move on. Yeah every deed has it's effect I choose mistakes over regrets. Doing what I can, not bothering about any when, how and why? The greatest glory is to try. ~ Kuldeep Dubey.
