Unknown

Being unknown, being self,
Suffered I, cried loud
Still no respite
Caged in humanity
Humanised by the law
Left alone to die

Death came
So does fame
Given a name 
I hope there will be change
But I suffered, I cried

I loved life,
Anonymity was my sin earlier
Now it came to my side
Need no memory
Is death the only respite?

I need no name
Need love to fly
Being as same before 
My unknown life

Walk of Life


Silent waves from the sun behind
Bright white nimbus lying free on the sky

A second early from tiredness
Wondering in hills as the time goes by

Enjoying the  momentarily simplicity of the tangled path
Watching the bliss in flower and the pain in thorn
As they all whispering that the life goes on and on.

                                                                            -Ravi

The Dark Masquerade


Coming along with the deepest secret
From the time immemorial
Leaving no history having no future
Bowed by the darkest mortals
Mighty and powerful and yet unknown
Standing from heaven to hell
Absence of whose is feared more
The dark masquerade

White Beauty

Always woke up with it in front
Passing light of the glaring sun
Making it beautiful day by day
Reminding the past in today

Watching the white elephant
Standing strong and tall
Hundreds year have passed
It has seen others fall

Time may have change
Now it can rest
oh! White beauty
You have passed the time test.
                                  -Ravi

Morning Rain

Opening eyes in the dawn of rain
Breaking the mundane chain
Starting the day with a new worth
 In the sweet smell of beautiful earth

Looking the drops on the pane
Playing a chasing game
Oh! Morning rain
You make a day of the sane

Warmth of sun, which it follow
Holding all colours on one bow
Making me happy more than ever
Oh morning rain, you are friend forever
                                            -Ravi

Just Like That

Stuck to what i have known
Calling time out
All that planned was left alone
Just like that, beyond any doubt

Never raised to change
Saw the flawless flaw
Simple I was to what I ain't
Just like that, I was in awe

Knowing no future to come
Gift you the present
Valued the past as none
Just like that, I meant

                          -Ravi

A Funny Story

It started with two dosa plates
In a canteen in which I would never have ate
There comes along two lunch boxes in our food chain
We joined, leaving behind Mysore and Plain.

Remembering the Crisp and fold
Nostalgic we feel, advocating old is gold
Wishing to go back, people call us optimisers
Now before we eat we use hand sanitizers

                                                       -Ravi


Shade of Grey

The moment I stood still
Moment I made reality my will
Overcame the fear of unknown
Of a day created or a day blown

Sad as it may be called
Hiding the colorful content what it hold
Just like the Shade of Grey
Made when red green and blue play

Life reflects the light of all
Its we who can see the source behind
Whether to choose the journey
Or choose the finish line

                               -Ravi

Mysterious

Though not an artist just like you,
I always make you an art
Wrap within it are the feelings
Straightly coming from my heart

Though they may look of mysterious kind
Yet can be deciphered with an open mind
Its you who are mysterious
Making me delirious.

Changed the long walks into precious moments
Just as like king Midas
Preserving the gold that you have touched
In my memory jar.
                              -Ravi

Crazy


Keeping the words in thoughts alone
Feared of being blamed or being thrown
Wished to be something more
Wanted to be in a crazy zone

So in the light of new dawn
When the fear was gone
Found myself a bit crazy
Searching for white in yellow daises

In all the humdrum, I was stunned
Fancying all the things which I would never have done
It was you who made me get out of the strife
Making crazy my new life
                        -Ravi

Desperado


I was closed, I had fears
You came by and made them disappear
As if resurrecting the thoughts from valley of dead
Oh! You are my desperado in red

Revealed the known, which was not seen
Pleasant shock it has been
Making me a talking head
Oh! You are my desperado in red

Outlawed my internal foe
Was the reason I called you so
And never a day goes unsaid
Oh! You are my desperado in red
                                                   -Ravi

ZONED!!!!!


No I am not Van Gogh
Oh my Monroe
Want to be with you
But doesn't know what to do
I just came to say hello
Stop with me, don't say no

I don't care no I would dare to fix the twist in you
You have shown me eventually what you will do
For you the lines are sung by the sick puppies
If  you don't like you can have guppies

Fearing to be disowned
Fearing to loose nothing that I owned
I held myself back
I am totally zoned
                                                  -Ravi

p.s. I was listening to two song , that are Hello by Martin Solveig and ft.Dragonette and All the same by Sick Puppies. After listening the songs I wrote this poem (Yeah! its a poem..though it doesn't seem like one), so the poem is highly inspired by those songs.


Also I want to thank the site RhymeZone for obvious reasons.


FYI a guppy (pl. Guppies) is a type of a fish..

A Friendly Poem


Quiet was I in the chaos around
Hearing the grapevines’ sound
Surrounded by people, but being alone
In dilemma to be a part or by my own

A being came by with similar interest
Wanted to leave before the rest
As we chose to walk to the end
Stranger we met, turned into friends

The chaos ended and so hearing
With the friend I started listening
The interest may change or the end
But changes not a true friend

                                    -Ravi

Saturday Oh Saturday


The long awaited day of the week
If taken away makes me a freak
Oh, Saturday I am in love with you
Giving me time to write a poem for you

Many have praised Friday in Black and white
And made Sunday as a family’s delight
Oh, Saturday don’t feel sad
As they have paid for all their bad

Though born on Sunday, I feel for you
Changing my name, which is you
Oh, Saturday I am in love with you
Come again for another poem too.

                                                -Ravi Thakur

(p.s. After this poem I am also known as Shani Thakur)
