bloom

As the night burns away,

Ashes of dreams start falling...

Aroma of unfulfilled promises starts spreading...

The window pane shatters,

Fragments of me must prick your gloom,

A rainy night,

My pain is in full bloom...

Darkness

Darkness....your darkness
Still fills me sometimes
Those daggers of touches
Still run across my being
Touching lightly yet bleeding
I shiver inwardly
And take a deep breath
Slowly oozes out
That dark deep fear
Till it fills, heals and seals
The crisscross marks
Of the places where
Our destinies collided....

farewell......

When his hands clasp yours

And the fires are raging

Slip one ornamental hand

Into the recesses of suppressed desires

Bejeweled and hidden

In your breast

Let your painted fingers

Rush slightly over my bare spine

For that one last moment

Of trembling sensations

Clasp your hand around my waist

Hold my being tightly yet lightly

Like you’d clasped the first butterfly

Our togetherness may shiver

And meekly resist

Maybe beg for life…

Close those enchanting eyes

Least a tear might betray…

And pick me from there

A flash and ashes will merge

Watch that burning

Feel that heat, feel that cold

As he waits for the scented water

To pass through the intricate patterns

Of your hands into his…

A befitting farewell

Was my last wish….

marks in a language

I feel

I feed

I do

I undo

I love

I move

I don’t

I want

You feel

You feed

You do

You undo

You love?

You move

You don’t

You want?

A few words too many

Importance of question marks..

 

cracked smiles n songs

As I remember the times we spent for each others sake,
I just wonder now, was it love or was the feeling fake?
The misty blues, rainy hues and the gardens lush green,
Without you around everything is just not seen.
Giving up everything, just for your sake,
Is there anything, that you forgot to take?
Waiting up all the time besides the phone to ring,
Catching to the tunes of the songs we used to sing.
As my heart breaks, I try to fall asleep,
But still all our memories make me flip.
With everyday, the feeling for you gets tender,
And every moment, makes my love grow stronger.
I really couldn’t stand the pressure or the pain,
Not talking to or not seeing you, makes me go insane.
I really wished, I felt that we were still one,
do you remember, all the laughter and the fun?
Sharing my love to someone else is not my case,
So I hide my broken heart beneath a laughing face.
