Teer-e-Ishq

Was going through Atishbazi's blog. What a superb shayar he is...
What I have written has been inspired by someone else, but the spark is attributed to AtishBazi
Aaah! also can't forget the push that Rhea's blog entry on her uncle's shayari gave to me

Arz Hai...

"dard-e-ishq tera bhi jawaab nahi!
maar daala hume ye haqeeqat hai khwaab nahi!
agar hai khwaab to khwaab main hi jee lene do,
aisi zindagi se kya jahaan teer-e-ishq aar paar nahi!"

Revel in Blood?

One's blood another's taste
One's a beast another's chaste

One's meat another's meal..
One's pain the other does not feel..

Some not aware of the pain they go through
Some aware yet continuing to chew

Sucking blood, gory sight,
To pacify the palate,their plight
We are stronger let's show our might!

Revel in their beats stopping, beasts that we are,
Cut them through not knowing its no other than us who we scar

You may ask though...
Greens, don't they have life? they do
Don't they feel the pain? of course that too

But its not just about choosing the lesser evil of the two,
Its also about choosing what nature sought us best to do
We are not meant to eat veal,
Our bodies this clearly reveal

Our constitution doesn't allow us to eat meat,
Else we would have had it raw
unlike the greens that we can have as per nature's law.

Our anatomy and taxonomy
Say we are closest to fruit eaters
Eating meat, fish and flesh
It is clear that Nature deters

Our Teeth, our Jaws, our Belly our Juices
all are meant for processing green
If you don't believe me yet,
go through these links, and you'll see what I mean!

Ecstatic!

My ecstasy knows no bounds...
what do you do, when you cannot be happier?
how do you stay planted firmly on the ground?

Its ok, is it not to at times fly..
to feel lighter as the weight lifts?
and walk two inches above the ground?
its ok, it is, up until the focus shifts..

One hurdle crossed, left in stead is the other
as we have crossed this, so will we tide over another
belief in God and in self, all will hold us in good stead
creating momentum enough for us to tide over the rest

I look forward to the days as they close in,
weeks, months fly past and you are heard over the din
of the constant humdrum that, "can't choose for yourself, hey you!"
I look forward to the days when what you have chosen is what they want too!

This Wait... weight...

This wait...weight...

As passes this day and approaches the eve
I wonder what the outcome will be.

This wait...weight..

Will this eve bring relief..or will there be strife yet
I wonder shall work be mine or will it be fret?

This wait...weight...

When you are connected, there is no disconnect
Whats at that end, at this end does affect.

This wait...weight...

I pray for you...you- my end, my beginning
Believe there will be a change tomorrow with the sun rising.

I want you to know that I will sleep today as the sun sets
with the hope of this wait ending...the weight lifting off us...
know I will rise tomorrow with hope in my eyes and love in my heart even if tomorrow may not come tomorrow,
...every morning, every night....
