The Dreamer's Plight

Beloved...
You are the spark in my eyes

The truth amongst the lies

You are the redolence

Joie de vivre

You are beauty and bliss

Love’s gentlest kiss;

Oh the pain it brings…

If I am the lone sail-boat

Amidst the ocean that’s endless

You are the serene luna

Whose proximity beckons the tempest

If I am the moth

Attracted to the brightness

You are the flame

That’ll annihilate my existence

Let me know you as an idea

An illusion...

A dream that’ll disappear

A memory that’ll fade away…

Drift away, my Beloved

Drift away…

Before my sanity loses its way.

A Pair Of Eyes

Midnight caresses  those dreamy contours

While the mirrors within reflect ebullience

Myriad emotions drift across the twin oceans

At times, trickling down in streams

At times, disappearing like the dreams

Like the fluttering frail wings of the butterflies

Soft veils touch those watery depths

Moistening and protecting the precious gems.

They are the portals to the soul within

Or cemeteries…

Marking the presence of two worlds

The known and the unknown.

The visible and the invisible.

A world that has words to emote

And a world without them…

A wordless world hidden in their soft gleam.

Lines Written In July

This odorous morn as the heart sighs

I think of you.

Aren’t you the precious ephemeral dew

Kissing the blades of the grass in the meadow

Or mayhaps the fleeting shadow

That belongs to me,

On days when clouds rush past the sun.

A thought of you,

Sometimes is the drug that heals,

Sometimes is the poison that kills

Sometimes… it’s the fire which burns

Creates a lot of noise, petrifies the soul

Sometimes, like the raindrops,

Creates the aura of love

Fragrant, as the rain drenched earth

Soothing the agony it brought.

Rain…

Just like the rain

You infuse the joy of living into me

You hold my heart 
As I paint the pictures with words

Just like the rain…

Drowning the chaos all around

Your presence lights up my essence.
