A little secret and a mischievous smile

With the fall of winters that year,

Arrived foggy days and nights,

Silent and dim streets,

And a beautiful neighbor,

I saw her one day,

Tucked in a chair,

With folded legs and swollen eyes,

Half sleepy, half awake,

I would have just crossed,

If i hadn't seen that way,

And she hadn't looked back,

Smiling mischievously,

But then eyes have strange machinations,

Heart but a slave to them,

Our eyes met everyday,

Hearts spoke for hours,

Memories arrived in bundles,

Yet we never spoke,

I would laugh at my stupidity,

Just that it was so real and true,

And it made me so happy,

Then one day she was gone,

Just like she came, 

Unannounced, 

Leaving behind lonely days and nights,

Silent and dim streets,

A little secret and a mischivous smile..

In a Long Night

In a long night,
After many long nights,
A gust of wind started from somewhere,
Touched you and then touched me,
Became a beautiful thought of you,
And entered my heart,

Moon and stars,
Quiet of the night,
Beauty of the sky,
And the fragrance of your thought,
All merged into a magnificent moment,
Your moment,

I know you weren't,
But you were,
It was one of those times.
When the real faded into dream,
And the dream poured out like real,
I slept with my dream,
In a long night,
After many long nights....

YOU or you

You speak in a brittle voice,

Balanced, measured words,

Yet my ears long for something,

Oblique or straight,

But meaningful to my heart,

So happy to see you,

Beacause its YOU,

But as sad to see you,

Resigned,reduced,

To a lifeless skeleton of YOU,

But i thought you were happy,

When you came in your long car,

Wearing exotic suit and jewellery,

Splashing money on big bags stuffed,

With more clothes,more jewellery,

And all things that make happiness,

But then i chuckle,

Because i told YOU,

I can give YOU love,

Though he will give you life,

YOU chose this life,

With great thought and reason,

While your heart wails,

I am sure YOU is still waiting,

Crouching,tucking,hiding within you,

To unleash,A spell of love,

Tender and pure,

Just like YOU knew..

I Love You Everyday...In My Own Curious Way

If you think sometimes,

Why that day,

I kept standing for hours,

And not even once, looked your way,

Or that moment when you walked up to me,

And I walked away,

Or that drizzle when you walked alone,

And I drove past you,

Quicker than everyday,

If you think sometimes,

That the emotions you felt,

Were felt alone,

Or the tears that you shed,

Were yours own,

Then princess of My Heart,

I suspect you would never know,

There were two hearts that broke,

And two voices which choke,

Each and Everyday,

Since you walked away,

The echo of your words still shatters like a wave,

I felt sometimes, to let you go was so naive,

But then I felt, my love was bigger,

And truer than truth of today,

We don’t hold hands or meet or kiss,

But nothing of it I miss,

Because I have your heart that I took away, and 

My love now lives in your honour everyday,

That's why I walk away,

I don’t look your way, 

Even though I love you everyday,

In my own curious way.....

 

Wisdom

One fine day, I went away,
A little too far,
With me and My Car,
A gust of wind brushed away,
As I crossed along the way,
A pillar being constructed,
And One being broken,

The running music sung,
"I want to break free",
As I rolled-up the windows,
Tired of all things outside,
Closing my shell,
And reflecting through an unintended strife,
Weaving answers of the puzzle of life,

Is life a rolling stream,
Of thoughts, emotions,
Make-ups, Break-ups,
Laughing, Crying, Cursing,

Desires for someone or something,

Or is life is a long walk,

Of a lonely wanderer,

Searching for a higher truth,
Of all questions of life and beyond,

Of salvation through a magic wand,

Sun was setting with a reddish hue,

I had questions plenty and answers too,
But the wisdom to choose was what I rued,and

Wisdom to choose is what I rue....

 

Reflections

As he edged closer to the night,

Sun fading in the distance,

Birds beginning to go home,

He stopped for a while on the roadside,

Vehicles, honking, and zooming past,

The road does'nt stop, slows or rests,

He walks a little to a nearby tree in a by-lane,

Awkwardly He sit at the roots as people pass by,

Some ignoring, some curious, some mocking,

He ignores them all,

Its an old tree, the trunk dusty and twisted,

Branches weak and cut to convenience,

Leaves few and far,

what happened to this tree?

He sits again,

There is so much work I have to do,

Why am I wasting time here?

Some people are so lucky,

Why do I always get a hard deal?

When will I get some time to enjoy?

The questions keep popping in his head,

One after another,

He walks further inside,entering a slum,

The lanes are dirty,

Houses cling into each other,

Vying for smallest possible space,

Life seems to be a little slow here,

Stinky, shrill, congested but slow,

Is the slow content?

He thinks while turning back,

Night has befallen,

He walks back to a lonely spot,

Sitting and thinking of his childhood,

A kid looking intently into a Black and White TV,

A barefoot boy scolded for dirtying someone's house,

A small coin constantly protected by a hand in the pocket,

Jumping own wall to play cricket in afternoon sun!

That kid was crazy, he thinks and smiles,

The first real smile in days,

The first free moment in years.....

LIFE

If comes a day or night,

When you can't walk straight,

Eyes are sleepy and red,

Drink more then you ever had,

Picked a fight, and

Ain’t getting anything right,

If the mind numbs,

Sleeping awake,

Half shivering to cold,

Or half sweating to heat,

Silence speaks loud,

And the voice is mute,

The emotion dictates,

And the reason fades,

Its time; to detach all strings,

And remember few things,

Theater of life has many delights,

Sorrows,stories and many fights,

But If you ain’t looking too hard,

A simple fact escapes your sight,

As we go deeper into darkness,

We also inch closer to light,

As we go deeper into darkness, 

We inch closer and closer to light….

Come And Take Me Away

There is still hope,
You might call one day,
And say,
Come and take me away,

Those moments of laughing together,
And crying alone,
Will come again and one fine day,
My love will make you say,
Come and take me away,

Life will be great,
Songs sweet, gardens green,
And sun will have a lot of light to spray,
But your heart will sink on a eventful day,
And you will say,
Come and take me away,

Its not how it will be,
But please don't say,
Let me live in this dream,
As long as i can stay,
One fine day,
May you say,
Come and take me away.....

The End Of Love and Beginning of Life

Dear Love,
Let me write a song that will make you cry,
For every moment of love that passes by,
And if you remember all those years,
Let your heart cry and eyes spill tears...

If comes a day,
when u feel unloved,
unappreciated, and unwanted,
remember those praises i showered,
every moment, hour and day,
Love that I felt,and that took your breath away,

If comes a night,
Cold and foggy,
When walking across the street,
You imagine my shadow, that you
Sometimes loved and sometimes hated

Remember,not the moments you saw me,

But by the moments I waited,

If comes a rain,that you loved,

And I loved because you loved,

Let few drops kiss your forehead,

And roll down like tears of your eye,

To remind you,

My last kiss and your last tears,

The end of Love and beginning of countless years...

My lovely dear love,

If you read this and your heart cries,

I thank you for your so true lies,

And,if words seem empty,

I wish to ask for greater sufferings,

To fill my heart with deeper feelings,

And my words with deeper meanings...

Words of Silence

I smell through my fingers,

Smell of your lovely hairs,

My hands,

Remind me your lovely hands,

The warmth of sun,

Recreates warmth of your touch,

And slowly I am taken,

To Wonderland of my dreams,

To hope in my eyes,and 

Desires in my heart....

And then I wonder,

What is Love,

Your silence, your words,

Words in your silence,

Or silence in your words....
