Facade

Behind every thoughtful action
There is that one innocent mistake
Behind every Casanova
There is that one heart break
Behind every strong rebellion
There is that one grave submission
Behind every practical approach
There is that one lost hope
Behind every achievement
There is that one push in vain
Behind ever great story
There is that one terrible tiny tale

                            -Ravi

Forgotten Path

It's where I stand today
The path so clear
Seen flowers decay
And thorns of fear

Made some choices
Turned towards unwanted turns
Some lead to silent noises
And some painful funs

Thinking was I sane
Standing where I stood
Fearing was that all in vain
For choosing what I took.

                          -Ravi

Brief Interval

All misplaced thoughts

Lined up for a cause
Unfinished talk
Are now pregnant pause

Seeing best of both worlds
Holding on to none
Was there still
Now a dying sun

Colourful and endless
Wished to be a carnival
What's light without dark
Enjoyed the brief interval.

Dream

Thinking, creating, destroying

Is all dreamt a moment ago

No past and no future though

May be remembered or forgotten before it grows

Still playing the play without fear

Tapping low keys and bringing cheers

It's no different in any sphere,

It's just like life,oh my dear. 

Memories

Memories are there
Some have a sweet pinch attach
Some we want to forget
Some are captured in the photos we took
Some are found in that old notebook
Some make homes in places we have been
Some lie in hidden smiles which nobody had seen
Some are still walking the long roads
Some are read in odes
Some are standing in our small huddle
Some are sitting in our group so subtle
Memories are there
Memories are everywhere

                                        -Ravi

Small Price

Push of the keys
Music of the leaves
Scattered rays
Playing hide and seek

Fall remembered
by a new spring
Memories made
Standing for a fresh dream

Lots have been done and said
While seeking answers in the hollows
New beginnings have to be paid
by the past it follows

Waking up while the time flies
Pay it now
Its a very very
very small price
               
                  -Ravi

Go

Times which fly
You don't know
In such time
May be you will go

Seeing you there in red
Calling you near
Can't let the time
Flow like the river

Time may not stop
It may go
But it is not the time
It's you, whom I can't let go
                           
                        -Ravi

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
