Goodbye Love

Thunder storms in growling sings,
cyclone winds and broken strings . . .
The world looks lost in broken lies ;
Shivering breeze and cloudy skies !!

And now the mighty lightening rolls . .
Flashing through my mind & soul . .
 I see her standing, feet now numb ;
Pale like a ghost and looking dumb !!

I smell her perfume fresh and sweet ,
mixed with tears rollin down her feet ;
i hear her mumbling in her breath . .
Whining words of raw regret !!

Like the clouds so dark Will always cry ,
but i Like it when its warm & dry . .
She can stand there all day with her lies ,
I grace the world with now new eyes !!

Its so bright . . Its so warm . .
And how i fell for her charm . .
She was my moon in the night . .
But darkness dies and comes daylight !!

So no more thunder; no more winds;
now i hear a canary sing . .
 Farewell all my stars above . .
Thats it darling . . GOODBYE LOVE . . !!

Something More

Darkness prowls the night ,
Darkness prowls my soul...
I was something else...
...now I am something more...!!

I used to fear the night ,
I used to run alone...
Now night my only friend ;
I feel all might & grown...]

Back then i used to cry ,
And shiver to my core...
I was something else...
...now I am something more...!!

Somewhere in the Sands-of-Time...
I left something and came..!
Now never I feel so wrong...
Never I feel the same...!!

I used to curse myself ,
and often go insane..!!
I care not for the world...
I now feel no pain..!!

Pain is how i grew...
Pain lurked in my soul...
But i was something else...
...now I am something more...!!

I see the darkness spread...
I see the darkness frown...
But no more in my lies ;
Or in my sorrow i drown...

Now I Love the night..
more than my loving Soul..!!
I was something else...
...now I am something more...!!!

My Superman

Ask me “What is fear?”
It’s losing my Daddy Dear!
‘I know in my world so wide,
You’ll stand always by my side!’

You all know but just a name,
Or might have heard his fame!
I know, just the man he is!
And his life of war and peace!

Yes, he is just a man;
But my Superman!!
‘I know you’ll help me fly
As far as you can!’

And when I touch those skies,
Beyond all truth and lies;
‘I know you’ll be there to smile,
And feel proud, I flew a mile!’

I remember whose fingers I held,
As a child who laughs and cries!
And on whose shoulders I climbed,
To reach and touch the skies!!

You taught me to be me!
And then rise and fall and see!!
So I can face my fears,
Indeed, like my Daddy Dear!

Yes, you are just a man;
Who does all that you can!
Never have I thanked you; for all I won,
“And you’ll never have to, My Son!!”

Now grown as I might be,
Living my life and free;
I might fly as far as I can!
But you are still My Superman!!

The Dancing Melodies

In the twilight , I can see...
the little dancing melodies;
Up and down they Buzz like bees...
Some 'sharp' they sing, some 'flat' with ease..!!

C, D, E, and F, G, H.....
the kind of joy these Melodies fetch...
And they swing to the 'A's' & 'B's'...
The music cling like a bunch of keys...!!

Some go low and some go high;
And in the lines... the rhythm lie...
Right and left they swing & die...
Humming-Birds like in the sky...!!

Hear them sweet like a piece of gem...
nor days or nights do bother them;
And at times i see them rest with ease...
For they sing for the passing breeze...!!

The sweet wild-withering sound of the leaves...
Such joy to my ears & mind it gives;
Such bliss the sweet pale music brings...
I feel as if " its almost Spring...!!"

And my lungs on such a day...
Breathe in the old wild smell of hay...
And i feel amidst the bouncing leaves...
And as a part of the blowing breeze...!!
And I feel my singing Heart... with ease...
Now which dances with the ...MELODIES...!!!!

A Dream

I dreamt I had wings!
To soar up in the sky,
Live my life like kings;
Sunshine and never die!!

I smelt the free air in,
And surfed the blue waves by,
Stood up to the highest peaks!
‘I believe I can Fly!!’

It wasn’t easy though;
The winds were never kind!
But life is too short a thing,
To just sun and shine and die!!

Wish now you had Wings,
To soar up in the sky!
I wish you had Wings,
To soar up in the sky!!

The Winter Rain

Nights are black ,
Dark is the sky . .
Wings of fire . .
Lightening by !!

Dreams of Freedom ,
Full and Free . .
Raging Thunder ,
Fearlessly. . !!

Feeling alive .
The Winter-Rain . .
Drumming against the -
Window-pane .

Pouring down the Heavens ,
Sweet . . !!
Hail , the monsoon smell . .
And breathe . .

Dazzling moonlight ,
Drizzling dews . .
Dancing leaves and
They amuse. . !!

A rustling wind . .
A starry sky !!
A lonely swing . .
In the play-ground by !!

A gusty breeze . .
A glass of wine !!
A ghostly CHILL . .
Down my spine !!!

Wide my eyes ,
Gone numb my feet .
Jumped my heart . .
And skipped a Beat !

The Thunder growls !
A GOD of Greek !!
And every Bolt of Lightening . .
Speaks . . !!

Myth and Mighty ;
Perky pain . .
A soothing calmness
Grasp my brain .

I watch the sleepless ,
Moonlit lanes . .
And Live the insane . .
Winter Rain !!

I’ll be Free

"A journey comes to an end. Unknown bright paths lie ahead. A poem dedicated to many of life's choices and situations, and a natural urge to be Free !! "

Dancing in the past I guess is,
No way to be Free;
From all the roads that lie ahead,
I’ll choose the one that’s me!
~ So I can breathe!!

Don’t come any closer,
Or you see; I’ll have to go!
Owning me like gravity. . .
Are blessed places that do glow!
~ In my eyes!!

Circles just keep growing, and they-
Swallow people whole!
Half their lives they’ll say goodnights,
And they’ll never know!
~ And so it goes!!

Everyone I came across,
Live in cages they were bought!
They think of me and my wandering . . .
But I’m never what they thought!!
~ I’m Alive!!

A mind full of questions,
And a teacher in my soul!
A heart burning desire;
To just travel for my goal!
~ That’s all I know!!

Where the wind is in my hair,
I feel I’m a part of everywhere!!
Dancing in the breeze and I can –
Fly to anywhere!!
~ But here I am!!

Just let me be, and I will –
Find a way you’ll see!
I know all the rules but,
The poor rules don’t know me!!
~ I’ll be Free!!

Ajay Menon.

The Eagle Eye

Gliding down the deep blue sky ;
Heights as such where Angels fly...!!
Thy shrill & cold-pitched regal cry ,
And wings of fire in thy eye...!!!

Swooping past the peaks and hills ;
with razor - sharp talons of kill...
A wild wedge- tailed beauty when still ;
As free as the blowing breeze , thy will..!!

Hovering above the moon - white clouds ,
wings held wide ....both spread in proud...!!!
Away from the rest...beyond the crowd....
With a yell for freedom , yet so loud...!!

A blazing soul with a Pheonix - tail..!!
Like a yatch with Rainbow - sail...!!
Soaring up and diving down..;
With a silver tint & chestnut - brown...

A savage sight onerous to hold...
Breathing fire in the winter cold..!!
Such unflagging speed.. arduous to cope...
A swift & sound ' Harbinger of Hope'..!!!

A windy morning & a deep blue sky...
I saw him him stooping & gliding by...
Heights as such where Angels fly..!!
Wings of Fire and The Eagle Eye...!!!

Dragon Heart

O Dragon ; My Dragon ,
Where has thy fire gone ?
Which burned thy heart, to wake thy might . . .
When thou was born . . !!

Gone thy fire , with the years ;
Which had warmed me when a boy . .
And where thy cares in thy tears ?
Which once was of cold-bliss & joy . . !!

Gone the flame in thy eyes ;
which kept alive thy ears . . .
And gone the flame of thy soul . . .
Which woke alive my fears . . !!

Where thy brain ?
Where thy art ?
When thy life began to part . . .
And twisted the sinews of thy heart ;
And when thy heart ceased to beat . . .
 . . . What dread hand ?
. . . What dread feet ?

Wings of light which lit the dark ,
Scratched thee with Heavens mark . . .
And thy flame ,
which now torn;
Marked thy death . .
Which i mourn . . !

And when i feel myself ,
all alone . . .

O Dragon ; My Dragon . . .
I wish ,Your fire had never gone . .
I wish . . It had never gone . !!

Muzic in da air

I woke up to the Winter Rain ,
Drumming my window pane...
Woke up and just felt alive ;
Jumping my heart insane !!

To the chirping of the birds : Delight ...
Was I tapping on my chair ??
The whistling wind as a merry child ,
There's Muzic in Da Air !!!

Chilly are the winter mornings ,
Blessed with mist and Cold !!
Massive is the Earth and we ...
.. Have now grown wise and old !!

Can you see , the singing leaves ??
Rustling to and fro ...
Born delight to the Humming Breeze;
All they sway high and low !!

The Sun is shining meekly though ;
And at him I can stare !!
But M just busy swinging to the ...
... Muzic in Da Air !!!

C , D , E and F , G , H
And all they do is weep !!
Singing low but sweet and slow ...
And Rolling In da Deep !!!

I hear people shout and cry ...
With problems of their own ;
Mouthing words like the wailing winds ,
The World of flesh N bones !!

Tweeting , Breathing , Howling ,
I feel deafness in my ears ...
Laughing , Frowning , Joking ,
And my eyes are full of tears !!!

na na na (na) na na na
That's more than i can bear ...
la la la ; la la la
The Muzic in Da Air !!!
