dragons and demons

"Dragons and demons"- C. Acharya (Revised version of winds of rain) I have been gaining weight, Like wounds swell out of pain. My throat is sore like that of a coach, but advices disowned. Dragons and demons burned my vision, like waiting for sneak peak attack on my own. I have long been cherishing a special name, Like that of a chanting priest or witch for a miracle to happen.

winds of rain

"Winds of Rain"- C. Acharya I have been gaining weight, Like wounds swell out of pain. My throat soars like that of a coach, but advices disowned. Dragons and demons burned my vision, like waiting for sneak peak attack on my own. Winds of rain that sway with storm, Dissolves my pot of clay and gone.

Leaks

"Leaks"- C. Acharya Why you cry in the rain? Are you broken or cracked open? Tears that fall from heaven, Don't find the passage by, And just stick to you like a glue, No one knows in the sweat of a night, That you cry from surface below. I tried the grey mixture, That people say, seals every and all, But it doesn't seal your broken dream, that leaks so big.

perspectives

"Perspectives"- C. Acharya Humans think, trees are tall and thik, Elephants think it is just right for meal. Ants see the world so big, Humans see the room closed within. Nile is proud for Egypt, The pond near proud for the peace it gives. Happy men expression, a victory march with no end, Where the broken just want to join.

They say

"They say"-C. Acharya Insomniacs say they don't like to dream. Schizophrenics say they still hear them even when they scream. Compulsives say the thing they do is butter and cream. Depressed say, everyone leave when they just sit and dream. Old men say, respect is just history which do not scream. Lovers, who broke their own heart say, playing all day is a cream.

someone we miss

"Someone we miss"- C. Acharya Cherishing someone so dear? Hoping they will all hear? Crying for days, Hoping a rain in the northern Mays. Sleeping all the way, Hoping a dream might sway? Silence is all that stays, Hoping they might break away.

जटिलताएँ (revised)

"जटिलताएँ" – सी. आचार्य मैंने कुएँ की गहराई तक खोदा, फिर मारीआना की खाई तक पहुँचा। क्षितिज के पार उड़ चला मैं, बेटे संग चाँद तक पहुँच गया मैं। पेड़ों पर चढ़ा करता था कभी, पर्वतों की चोटी भी आसान लगती अ भी। शेरों को मिटा दिया ज़मीन से, और ग्लेशियरों को झुका दिया घुटनों से। कभी अपने कबीले के संग गाता था गीत, अब जीवन की जटिलताओं में खो गया हे प्रीत।
