BLUE

I once stood at vantage point
And looked down with caution
There seemed no end to the madness
As it danced in unusual colors
Slowly the sun set
And it all looked calm one day
The ripples in water too
just seemed to walk away
And that’s when I realised
the ultimate truth
It all looks different in the dark
Almost sexier, almost not
So it’s decided then,
Blue is the new white
Or something like that
-Rahul Joglekar

BLUE
It surrounded the clouds once
Or just rained on a petal
It wrote the most beautiful lines
And even dressed her up sometimes
The sea pretends to own it
And I can see it in your eyes
But don’t let a tear roll downCause then,
its going to be your state of mind
It’s a painter’s fantasy, A gem’s soul
The morning's wedding gown
And sometimes fire itself
Yes sir, It’s the color blue
And something tells me that blue
Is the new whiteAnd that’s what it is perhaps!-
Rahul Joglekar

BLUE

I walked into the room once
The lights cut the air
But green looked slightly purple
And reality seemed a delusion
I looked at myself and saw the difference
My life had changed and so had you
But I still feel the same way sometimes
And your voice seems familiar too
So what happened
and can we live in our dreams?
I stepped to move away
Trying to make sense of it all
And then it struck me,
And struck me hard
The lights were blue,And not yellow
or white
But blue is the new white
Blue is the new white…

Shhh….

It can win you love
It can stop the war
It can bring you that toy
Or just help you bear it all

It can ruin your friendship
But may just make your marriage
You’d love to sleep with it every night
And let it reside in your heart
It visits at funerals
Or just watches the mother and her child

But it can be scary sometimes
Only thunder can be its rival
And for those million moments it fills
It gives them the gift of eternity

That’s the magic of silence
Wearing a new ensemble
And walking down the ramps of life
Never shocking, never revolting
But has a sweet twang of its own
And yes, watch out for it,
You may not hear it tip toe into your life!

The show must go on

Life stopped
And an innocent child’s soul
Was penetrated in a car

They broke and killed
And blood splattered on temple walls
Or was it a mosque

With the stroke of a gavel
It was all done,
They were to die an unnatural death
Worse than those hostages
Or the others from unimportant yesterday

Piece of glass are still reminders
Of how your arrogance ran us over
But our soul still lurks here somewhere
In your trains and your hearts

But the blackened face
Once asked me to see
And see beyond the black disgrace
That the truth as caught on a tape
May be another thing

But for you and me
The slaves of truth,
The complexity of the layers
Are just an encumbrance
A snapshot talks in words of its own
A sequence narrates an essay
A ‘vo’ and a bite
Bring to you the death and gore,
And the madness goes on,
And on and on
