Disharmony

Feeble, unheard murmurs
Of a broken heart
Paved the way into
An eloquent silence,
An interlude
Between passionate kisses.


Her pain seeped out
Of the loquacious eyes
And percolated into his
Making him cry her tears,
The forbidden tears
Holding her unfounded fears.

Miles Apart

Spring will not blossom,
No rose will bloom,
Her heart will wither away
In the cold wintry gloom.


She'll die a little this day,
Every moment, everyday,
Her soul will know intense pain
And the dreaded color gray.


Miles apart, barely sentient,
She'll wait, she'll paint,
Happy pictures of togetherness
Till the numbing aches faint.


She'll know not happiness,
But the harsh chill of loneliness,
She'll pray he returns in the fall,
Before her life evanesces.

Never Too Far Away

Between the ocean of eternal love
Sometimes along its quiet shore
Between the valley of red roses
Sometimes on the shivering leaves
Between the promises of the clouds
Sometimes at the rainbow's end
Between the golden tapestry of the sun
Sometimes etched within the lunar glow.
Seek and you will find me somewhere,
Here, there, never too far away.

When I Think Of You, I Think Of ...

Some nomadic kisses

A gaze so intense

Love, its incandescence

The laughter, the ebullience

That voice; it enthralls

Like the brightest petals

Happiness galore

A sea without a shore

Unrestrained emotions

Flow from the core,

To enter life's open door.

In Your Absence

Like the tempestuous wind
To the tune of which
Dance a million leaves,
Memories of you, of us
Create ripples of bliss
In my convulsing heart.


Like the dew kissed moss
On a quiet, hidden path
Known to no bird or beast
Your heart, a sojourn of love,
With its myriad emotions
Mystifies my ebullient mind.


Like the floating wood
On the placid, crystalline lake
That kisses the reflected moon,
Thoughts embrace your image,
Its aura colored with a bright hue.
O Beloved, how I pine for you.

Mayhem

She had seen six springs and wished to see more,
Dressed in the color of the hibiscus
Dancing to the different melodies of bliss,
Oblivious to the poisonous aura in the air,
Her laughter drifted like the gentle breeze
While her little fingers counted the cows 
Grazing in the tranquil vast meadow.
Her tiny lips would have uttered 'seven'
When a deafening explosion darkened the sky
The little bud was hurtled away from her Heaven
Into the murky realm of intolerable pain
When she opened her swollen eyelids
All she saw was dust, blood and the ash
All she heard were howling people in agony.
All she smelt was the stench of burnt flesh
All she felt was an unending insanity
Tears dried up in the fire of her soul's carcass,
Hopes crushed, dreams crippled,
Dreams of finding a beautiful paradise

Inner Peace

It unlocked another Universe
Timeless and ageless,
A rivulet of ink flowed forming the words,
Words, that wrote the beautiful lyric
Of a strain that echoed
In pain's deepest, darkest abyss
Everything began fading
Atoms, thoughts, ego...
Everything that changed.
Left behind was its presence
A calm, luminous essence.

Death Of A Dreamer

Languid, gray eyes of the day look on
A breathless sleep is what she desires
The chains of fate break and surrender
For 'tis an unpleasant sight,
The heart broken dreamer.

That which doesn't forever sleep
The gentle love within her dreams
Flutters away to infect another life
For the shrine fails to hold it,
The restless essence of being.

Her laughter fades into the serene night
Her eyes that could speak, get distant
Sweet solemn spells of love live on though
For she had loved with a fervor,
Like a true dreamer.

She'll rise when remembered with love
Death would yield to her soft cove
She'll leave no footprints on the sand
For her invisibility will preserve it,
A heart full of pleasant dreams.

Pain

Vitriolic tears
Seep into the heart
Lingering, corroding,
Pulling love apart
While her drowning self
Frantically searches,
Reaches out to them,
The happy memories
That love built...
They drift out of her sight.

On A Day Like Today

A bright light unto eternity

The soulful music within me

Rekindling all the fading memories

Thy love seeps into my  reveries.

'Twas those times when I could smell the petrichor

Thy smile was this pessimistic lost soul's harbor 

Drear and comfortless, it surfaced out of its grave

Thy warmth engulfed it, made it strong, made it brave.

Autumn saw us basking in the joy of adolescent love

Every beautiful moment was a blessing from above

Mesmerising, hauntingly alluring were those promises

One of which was watching together countless sunrises.

Winter felt the chill despite the warm hearth

But if 'tis perfect it doesn't exist on earth

Closer the souls got, stronger the love grew

'Twas a togetherness lived by the blessed few.

Spring is coming, we have buried the withered flowers

Seasons shall not change anymore for us lovers

For the madness is gone, peace and bliss is left behind

The souls have blended, the roots are entwined.

My Valentine

He is...

The gentleness of the crashing waves

He is the sanity of chaos

The strain of silence

Joy of sorrow

Warmth of the chilly winds

He is...

The  beauty of all things

The protector of our secret realm.

He is me and I am him

He is life and death

Spring's purple wreath.
