Abyss

Now, i m here...
Soon I shall be gone.
You would know then,
What missing is,
When the days will stretch long.

It will be an emptiness, so hollow,
That will swallow the fibre of your need..
Ashen silence;
Deafness,
Where you once heard my pleas.

Hollow;Empty..
Where the hearts were filled once,with love so intense
You will know then,
What is it to be on the brink of an abyss.

You will spread your arms..
And encounter nothing!
You might find then,
what is it like to miss someone..

The intensity of missing,
So great,so grave
The lack of all,
And,
Nothingness,nothingness!!
The spaces will spread so wide
And you will find no place to hide.

The blank,empty walls will echo
What i had felt not so long ago

Your eyes will seek again
What you chose to ignore,
All this while.
You will find the images fade,
Just leaving the imprints of time....

Sunshine kiss

[i ]Heartless winter, stayed longer this while.
No sight of colour to warm the eyes.
She has been hibernating all this time!

The blackened dead leaves,
Lay forlorn,
Wasted, withered
Rudely torn.

The frost has started to melt.
Oh, the sun is finally out!
One speck of green, she spies
Tender sprout, announcing life!

Soon the trees shall have green showers.
The riot of colour, in mad abandon.
The valley is going to sing again,
With the gentle sway of wild flowers.

Will she sing her merry song?
The frost stayed in the heart too long!
Something’s got to thaw this ice…
A sunshine kiss,
Warm and bright!

I need no roses red

The way you cradle my lonely hopes
In the arms of your desires.
The way you soothe my little hurts
By your,oh,so lovely smiles;

I need,then,no roses red
Your love works fine for me instead!

The way your eyes warm mine
A sea of emotions passed that while
I need then,no poetic line;
Your glance says is just as fine

The way you love me across the distance,
The way you love me pure and true.
The way your heart touches mine,
Even if our bodies haven't too;

I need then,no more wishes
This shall surely see me through

I need no roses red[sequel]

The way our love keeps us going,
Despite the blows time and fate had brought
The way we fought with all our spirit,
To save our love from endless assault.

I know that my belief has won
The hornbill has finally sung!

The night, that was darker than ever before,
When my dreams seemed to have lost their way.
Memories of the moments I had frozen,
Sat besides my soul to pray.

I know now what kept me sound.
Your love was still around!

The way you pick thorns out of my way,
And any pebble that might happen to stray.
The way you watch my every stride,
And forever there to lead and guide

I need then no angels’ light
Your love shall be my sight

Time may bring threatening clouds yet again
The sun may take away its warmth yet again
I hope to find you on my horizon,
Comforting and shining like a beacon.

I would need then, no roses red,
Your love would work fine for me instead

Catch me under mistletoe

Several stars twinkle above us.
But I just catch the one in your eye.
The way you look so heatedly at me
In your arms dear, I can happily die.

Dancing in our finest finery
We skirt around the Christmas tree.
Shiny baubles sparkle around,
But we glow in the love we’ve found.

Foggy evening,
Fires blazing high,
Christmas spirit lives on
We can’t let this passion die.

As the evening wears on,
The embers of our passion grow.
And I just hope, honey,
That you catch me under the mistletoe

You are being a man again!

You opine that women are vain!
Strange is your judgment
But then, you are being a man again!

Why is it such a pain,
To acknowledge,for once,our brilliant brain?
Why won't you go beyond our looks
To see ,just once,what keeps you sane?
But then,you are being a man again!

The body that makes you go in a frenzy of lust
Is going,one day,to blend in dust.
The soul that you cant see today
Is going to mate your soul someday

Your perception must alter to break this chain;
But then,you go on being a man again!!

For all the big things you like to say,
That women cant keep the mirror away
You too want the fairest dame
And then you call us women vain!!!!

I am no Angel!

I am no Angel,
Nor,a Goddess of your dream.
I am neither a temptress,
Nor a star in your eyes to gleam.

I am,but,a woman,a lover,a mate
I am a partner to your soul,chosen by your fate.
I have no war with you,
But I too want a deal fair and true!

I seduce you,as you say.
But I do it my way..
With my body and with my brain..
Its you,who make the choice plain.

I am fair and young,
But the rose will fade from my cheek one day,
Will you love me,then,mid fallin' leaves
As you did mid the bloom of May!

I require all things that are grand a true,
All things that a man should be.
If you give this all,
I will stake my life to be all you demand of me!

I am so scared!

The blinding mist around,
Caught in the mid sea,
The shore is beyond me...

The expanse of the sea;
No sight of land,
No voices to hear,
No proffered hand

O' God! I m scared!

No calm waters,
No serene skies;
No sunshine songs,
No happy cries
All I hear is furious storm,

O' God! I m alone!

Peering through the mist, I see
The gloomy waters that stare at me.
Several boats now pass by me,
I look at them sailing happily.

Only,I am stranded
They all landed!

Oh God! I m alone!!

The dark falls on my hopes,
My helpless heart seeks and gropes
For,one beam of light
To see me through this night.

God! I am scared!

At the helm,i senselessly steer,
My vision clouded by fear
O,where is the one strong and fired?
You don't know, God,I feel so tired!

The boat is so small,
The sea is so huge.
Take me to the shore
My fears seek refuge!

Dilemma


Lest,I become a habit to you,
Difficult to shake off,
But,hard to live with.
Bemoaned often,
and cared less
But again,
tough to let go;
I should take your leave.

Before the words I wish to say,
Die, as a sigh on my lips
I should take your leave.

I have mustered the courage today,
To have my say...
To tell you,
What you think
But cant convey...

Lest, the love, that you feel for me,
Brings you to a point
That you feel,
Caught in a dilemma.
I should take your leave.....

Tribute

An year later...tears dont stop!

O, dearest mine!
Where do you dwell now?
Are you shining among the stars?
Or, you bloom among the flowers?

I have seen your smiling face in the sky
Since the day, we bid you goodbye.
A tearful farewell was all we could give
Your suffering, your pain, sought refuge.

In a trance, I move about
The illusion of your being, still around.

I pick up the phone to make a call
Sadly then, I recall
Hey, you aren’t going to be there,
Who is going to soothe my despair?

No tears shall fall today;
You aren’t going to kiss them away.
No fears shall now seek comfort;
I have to be brave to combat this hurt.

As you suffered and cried in pain,
All our prayers passed in vain.
You prayed for an easy release,
We prayed, but, for a fresh lease.

He, but heard your pleas
God’s favourite you had to be!
He has you now playing in his lap
We make do only with your snap.

Every joyous moment wears thin,
Without you being here within.
Come back to us as a calming thought
Ease us of the pain that your departure brought.

O, where are you, my sweet!
Why hasn’t my heart stopped to beat?
Do you see me grieving?
You took a part of me while leaving..

Dolly,28th may,07
__________________________________________________________________
This write is my tribute to my elder sister who passed away last year on this date. Her end came as a relief to the soul which suffered for two years in acute pain and agony.. she got the relief and we got the grief.. this write is for the one who could never see tears in my eyes..
To you didi,with all my love!

Pass me on your dreams,mom

Pass me on you dreams, mom
I promise to make them true.
Won't you lend me that essence
That makes you just YOU?

They say I have your eyes.
I wish, but, I had your vision too.
When you urged me to spread my wings
You could see my horizons new!

I have the power, ma!
But you have the strength.
I am still learning to take some leaps
But you have walked the length.

The wrinkles that weather you face,
Is yet another beautiful phase.
Each passing year makes you more beautiful
An Angel that you seem always!

I took a road different than yours;
Confronted I was with many fears
You walked steadily besides me
Voicing your cheers!

You couldn’t have given me more
After you gave me faith in prayers
I don’t know where He exists
Its you, I believed in, all these years!

Where is God?
He enjoys the fame
Isn’t that you, ma
With just another name!

The hornbill song

Times and times I waited for this.
The beak is dry, dry! Everything is so dry!
Perched on,
Looking at the clouds above,
Hoping for a tinge of darkness,
My soul whispered the
Hornbill song in your ears.

The clouds have drifted above us,
The skies inviting for another flight
If you must fly, go take a soar
I shall keep you secure in my sight.

Some scattered twigs I pick,
Some bits of straw you bring.
Together, we build another life
For there could be another stormy night!


Now the rain has to fall
And surely it won’t fall for me alone!

And now it falls softly, a blessed relief!
Drinking thirstily, my soul keeps,
A prayer, a song, within its being…

Endless Assault

Countless demons possess my soul.
Countless questions pierce my calm.
Doubt infested, guilt laden
My soul cries for succour.

Times, when I didn’t stand up for myself,
Times, when I didn’t honour my being,
And, the times, when my mind averted its head,
At the cry of my lacerated soul.

Moments trapped under dead weight,
Scream above the placid state,
Come out crawling, yet again,
Triggering the revival of pain.

Countless efforts to numb my senses,
Countless ways to ease the pain
Helpless, desperate
My soul cries yet again.

Sleepless nights,
Dreamless eyes.
A heart vacant
A spirit cries.

Fears crowd,
Hope struggles for space.
Doubts cloud,
Belief leaves no trace.

Countless questions still unanswered,
Countless demons still undeterred

Venus Wronged

Venus wronged

Dancing along her
Luscious curves,
His eyes fail to reach her soul.

The bosom that clutches
A sea of emotions,
Remains for him
A temptation
To explore.

His world is open,
He seeks a temptress,
To seduce him to
The pleasures unknown.

Her world is limited,
She seeks a saviour
To protect her from
The dangers unknown.

She stands before him,
Holding an ocean of
Love and trust.

He rejects it blatantly
For better offerings of
Greed and lust.

She wants to walk with him
In search of a better tomorrow

He wants to walk ahead
Leaving her in his shadow

Is she a temptress?
A goddess or, an angel?
Or, just a plain woman,
Destined to exist,
at his whim
