The flame that extinguished...
shall never leave more than ugly ashes....
it darkens the clear glass of hope...
boldening the clouds of doubt....
if this is too going to be...

The echos of the undone.....
The lies of blame......
darkens my faith.....
Unfolding the nights of divide....
If this shall too......

The story I wrote....
Can it never be unwritten...?
The dark lead upon my being....
Arousing the scare within...
If I am walking the path again...

Decieved...by self...
Was it worth the flight...?
Forcing me to clip my wings...
Again am I perched to fall
On the hard ground of despise?

Rediscovering!

A little prayer, I whispered,

A little step did I take.....

A little dream did I live,

A litte idea was born......



I moved to make it happen...

Dirt on the undone disappeared....

I woke up to my light....

A wish to sprakle....



A desire to see heaven...

every eye there shines....

faces light up with smile...

Thee... a little wish it is!



Paint shall I my canvas...

with hues of joyous hopes!

Brighter shall be each day....

As I move on....



Shall you be my companion

in the litte steps I tread?

Shall I be the bright mark

On the dull canvas of suffering?



I shall be....

I shall be..

the dream...

That I see!

*!

Much... it does say

Much... it does hide...

laugh it does....

sumtimes does it cry!

Much does it swing...

dances to the rhythm of ur life...

raise it does,

the spirits that were left to die!

Thoughtful it is,

to live that little hight,

Affectionate it is,

to embrace with a sigh....

A look that lasted longer,

made me smile shy...

the glory, the joy, the life..

The twinkle of your eyes!!!

Unsung....

The sky shines down......
to envelope the rising stars....

those dreams at their birth...
were put to sleep....

the old and the new merged to become one...
the struggle between the two, challenging many beliefs...

so is the future weighing us down...?
or the past haunting our soul.....?

the past which didn't breathe....
the future- an endless hole....

so is the present irrelevant.....
or too distant to make a life??

answers so many....yet they elude....
new desires budding to bloom....

more blind can we be??
or blinded by the light of 'future' are we??

unsung song...it will remain...
till present remains, but a distant thought...

unloved it will remain...
the life of a dying a dream!

DISTANCE......

Two worlds I make,

two worlds it takes,

to keep me alive,





I become life,

I become longing,

I become wait,



I become evil,

I become a curse

when I seperate,



I become divine,

when meeting eyes shine,

and memories grow dearer!



I am 'distance',

I breathe....

I am the space between...

being and not being!

I don't want to open my eye,

moments are trapped into my mind,

I wonder if they would escape,

I hold on to every sight.



I dont want to open my eye,

tears will well up again,

life will again sigh,

trying to hold on to time....



I don't want to open my eye,

tomorrow is not easy,

tomorrow is another life,

I dont want to say good bye!

~~~~~ Intersection~~~~~

In the sunshine of the day,
measuring our journeys,
we did meet on the way,
Life laughed a little,
Chuckled at the hour,
I looked towards you,
bedazzled by your spark,
the hour changed into days....
days into weeks....
I stood there dazed,
absorbing your creed,
And then we luaghed together,
learnt and played....
of glory,of past,of future
we talked all the way....
As I was setting in my comfort...
Time was ticking by...
We didnot notice when ,
it was time to say good bye...

It was time for you to tread,
On the roads less known and wide...
It was time for me to travel,
live the rickety ride...

But once did our paths cross,
once did the days smile,
Lord! oh Lord!the intersection...was truly divine!

I stand here observig
as time takes us far,
A memory I will bear,
In a waiting heart.....

They wait for us.....

Their only chance at life.....


their eyes numb,deprived.....


That one breath...barely holding on to...


Staring into the emptiness.....


The barren dance of humanity.....





Destiny hasn't laid out roses....


In the paths of these stammering steps....


The lone grain in the dish.....


The water smelling feverish.....


Passages of rotten hopes....


everything evades these streets...


Love,care,sunshine......





Innocence struggling to keep its own...


Cries of childhood left alone...


The shrieks of a failed mankind......


A meal is a luxury never lived....


These faces.....smile bereaved....


They should haunt us...they should haunt us...


Alas!our televisions keep us occup;ied....





In some part of this holy world....


Poverty scavenges the gift of life....


Tears of lonely souls.....


Tears of a dead humanity...

Tears of a world where we could be.....

SURGE OF A SPRING~~~~

The light illuminates…
Surges poetry of my heart,

Words of a melody
Spring in the bog of my life

New horizons open up….
New skies embrace,
My undiscovered flight,

In the cascading waters…
The play of my dreams~~


The untamed dance of my soul..
The tune of whispering groves…
The rainbow of my thoughts
Palette of a painter!

The cask which was empty,
Intoxicating river flows…
Cruising into the sea,
With the wind…floats..

The revival of a fragrance,
Lost for a while…
Ideas playing hide and seek,

Words trapping into a sonnet,
Skipping affection,skirting contention

My poetry deriving from yours…
For it is the light of your poetry that illuminates!!

To the oblivious one!

Show me those tears,
Show me that you feel,
Show me your love,
let it reveal.......

Speak to me...
Speak to my soul....
Speak the warm words of affection...
Hold me so close...

Dance with me....
In the alley of life.....
Swing me to happiness...
Come let us jive!

Sing to me......
The songs of love....
Let my heart beat....
Bring me to life...

Come to me.....
come to my being....
Fill me with warmth...
Like it has never been....

Look at me....
Look in my eyes....
Know me as I know you....
Come let us fly..........

A new beginning breathes......

A new beginning breathes….
Aspirations ,ideas ,hopes aflutter
The past still close to my being..
It will always be…
The steps are not sure..
Of the path they are about to seek!
Unknown hearts surround me,
Experience preaches,they too are sweet.
I remember those wonderful worlds,
Where I have been…
Yet there is a world yet to be explored..
Anxiety fills the breeze…
It will be beautiful and bright
Eternal hope makes me believe.
Hearts will part again…
To meet better ones ,time after time
As I stand in an uneasy rain,
Of a sunlit meadow,I dream
That meadow shall surely be mine ,
I will advance and rise to the sun,

My romance with the horizon!
A new beginning breathes…….!

Loss of words?!?!

Words that are there...

words that are not...

You do understand....

Or in words you get lost..!

You donot escape me....

You never come across...

Pay heed to the silence....

In words you get lost...!

My eyes embrace,

My arms stay tall...

The pink in my voice....

In words you get lost...!

My soul sings a song....

My laughter hums the tune..

if only I would sing....

Words would make you mine.....

The song so divine, yet cold as frost,

The funeral song of a friendship lost...!!

FOREVER MEMORIES!

Moments,Precious moments,

Wish they were a lifetime,

Of Mischief,Love and Laughter,

Of our times together,

Of the eventful days,

Of all endless celebrations,

Of joy,sorrow,limitless stretch...

Wish they could last forever,

Memories cloud my mind,

The engulfing web,I get lost!

The time I never want to forget...

Already,my eyes feel wet...





If holding onto sweet times was life,

I would have lived endless times,

Life is moving on,

So,I choose to live but once,

Leaving sweet memories behind,

Being a sweet memory forever!

SCHOOLDAYS.........!!!

Friends do depart...

Take the way of their dreams...

With a heavy heart,

Overwhelming it seems~~



Days which have gone by,

We know will never come again,

The laughter,the carefree moments,

How we try to hold them in vein!



From the happening classrooms..

The jokes that lasted from morning to noon!

The struggle to submit notes on time,

The projects that seemed never ending,

The homework which was forever pending!



The last minute rattafication,

and the after result consolation!

The teachers who made us cry,

The never fulfilled vows to put in everything and try!



the plans for outings after every exams,

and how they faltered every time!

The dance at the talent shows,

The excuse of practice to get away!

The tiffins that were ever so tasty,

The gossip that spiced up the day!

Pulling each other's leg every moment,

Saying 'sorry' the next minute.....



The crushes that added mush to life!
The broken hearts that cried....

The comforting phone calls,

The adorable pals.....



I am sure we gonna miss it all...

The school...the life that we know!!

MATHS MEETS LUV!!!

The integration of lives,
Wen emotions multiply,
The probability of sum1 special,
Becums an increasing function,
Wen the heart stumps at this conjunction,
Wen sorrow bcums a distant negation,
The feeling bcums the tautology of life,
Darling u r in luv!!

The binomial u have formed,
Bcums a source of joy,
There is no limit of sum meetings,fone calls,etc.
The dates that unfold in a chain(rule!!)
And the bills r no longer exchanged,
(the guy always pays dem!!)

But the times do differentiate,
There increases the probability of poisson,
Wen the good times minimize,
Wen warmth bcums negligible,
the simple interests do suddenly seem compound,
the once cosy binomial seems more like a triangle,
wen the life does seem like an ununderstandable theory,
(much lik d subject-maths!!)
Darling its time to break up!!!!!

UNTOLD LOVE!

The journey seems bright,
Underneath the turquoise light,
On the garlanded road,
I know,I am not alone.

My eyes deceive me,
My soul beholds him,
I can feel his living,
Yet my eyes don’t see him…..

He doesn’t hold me,
I have wings,I can fly,
Like a shadow he follows,
Into the florid sky!

I dismiss him,I dismiss him
Alas! the dismissal of a passive soul,
In the middle of an ocean on a floe
I know I m not alone!

In the pastures of my imagination,
We live and live on…..
The colourful caravan of my existence,
Holds him so close!


For a sequel of this warmth,
I shall have to wait……..
In this oasis of my life,
The wait is not alone!
