Breaking

BREAKING…

It wobbles…

Once steadfast

Now falling apart

On the brink of breaking…

The sound of cracking

Reverberates in her soul,

Memories of its careful

Nurturing haunting her

A vain attempt…

Angry blood gushes

Filling her senses…

She can almost

Taste its bitter vileness,

Its poison coursing

Through every vein and pore,

Putrid and dark…

Impaling and deadening…

A stake through her soul

She watches…

Turning cold and numb

She waits …

For the onslaught to end

Out of control…

The silence of dying

Mocks…

Its yawning jaws

Snapping her,

As it engulfs her

In its hellish fury…

She claws and scratches

Searching for the pieces

Of her lost heart…

Rot and decay

Slip through her desperate fingers

She slumps amidst

The ravaging inferno...

Eyes hollow
Listless...

Her heart dead
Lost forever…

Sometimes I wish….

Sometimes I wish….

Sometimes I wish

My mystical nights last forever…

The dark emblazoned by

The humming stars,

The clouds waltzing

To the tunes of the gentle breeze,

The night creatures

Silent spectators…

When we cross over

Fusing as one

On the milky- way,

Stringing our dreams

With silver threads

Borrowed from the moon,

Etching colorful patterns

From pieces of sparkling stars

While the soothing wind

Sells our dreams

To the glowing darkness…

Guardians of our secret.

We dance and play

On the divine path

Fingers intertwined

Like children,

Happy and gleeful…

Oblivious to the cold truth

The inevitable dawn

Heralds…

The magical night fades

To resurrect once more

Waiting, holding its breath…

How I wish the night was

Mine to keep…

Is This Love?

Is This Love?

She sighs, she purrs

A sated proud feline…

As she lay languid

And regal,

A diva in full glory…

A tremulous smile

Plays on her full lips

As his gentle fingers

Strum and transform

Every scar, every ugly memory

Into a thing of beauty

To behold!

His hungry lips explore

Her undulating contours

Unraveling her mystery

As she surrenders…

She sighs, she purrs

The outside din

A symphony to her ears

His whispers of love

Burning and sizzling

As she twirls and glides

To their fiery passion

The walls that caved once

Now tell tales of opulence

She is a queen…

Her heart flutters

Like wings,

Ready to soar to

The deep unknown

As it traverses realms

To be one with him…

She sighs, she purrs

And wonders…

Is this love?

GONE

GONE

Pictures of you

Haunt me…

Smiling, frowning, laughing,

They tell me

Stories of what was

Of desires, longings lost and gone…

My eyes search yours

And always the same questions

Torment my heart…

Why me? Why you?

Turmoil singe my inside…

I feel a prisoner

Banished to the hellish gallows

Of lost dreams,

Trapped and damned

Tied to an eternal wrack

I try to rise above the

Heart wrenching pain…

Scrambling and scratching

Up the walls of my

Damp and cold dungeon

Nails torn and bleeding…

At times the light above

Clears my sullied vision

And I breathe easy

Hope seems not a distant dream

I sit for endless hours

Weaving fantasy and reality

Into a fine bright tapestry,

Intertwined with motifs of love,

Laughter, bliss and ecstasy…

My journey less tiresome

Then that trigger again…

A voice, a thought, a memory,

A song, a smell…

Plunges me into my hell

My hunger, my longing, my desire

Like gadflies drive me insane

As I scream and wail

With no respite in sight

Why? I cry fruitless tears,

Knowing there are no answers

You are gone for always

And so have I…

MY DREAMS

MY DREAMS

Photo: Google Image

My wasted, weary dreams

Lie scattered like petals

Around me…

Some fresh and crisp

Some crushed

Others torn and shriveled…

I look up at the expansive sky

Generous and engulfing

And beseech for strength…

The desire to collect them,

These carelessly strewn carcasses,

Throb and pulsate…

I long to gather them,

Hold them close to my heart

And weave another tapestry,

Another patchwork of longing

Frail and incomplete

Futile without you…

I gaze at the hopeless scatterings

Wanting yet holding back,

While the wind

Blows them away

No longer mine…

The shadows of agony

Dissipate…

As the beaming sun

Smiles down upon my

Eager face…

Renewing me

For another day,

Another bunch of

 Fresh dreams…

CALL OF THE NIGHT

CALL OF THE NIGHT

Photo: Ron Bezbaruah 

In the sweltering darkness,

An uneasy calm hovers

Clammy, cloying…

I toss and turn

My mind restless…

Conjuring happy thoughts,

They slip through like sand

Slippery, intangible…

 I am no magician!

Across rivers, dales,

Oceans and mountains

A voice calls out…

Soothing…

Unraveling my tangled soul

Spellbound I listen…

Every pitch, every sigh,

Every tinkle of laughter

Music to my sore ears…

Every word of love

Manna to my hungry senses

I listen…

Enraptured by this magical sound

Wishing it lingers

For always…

But it fades…

Always!

The first light of

Breaking dawn,

Harsh and incessant

Jabs at my sides…

Pain like second skin

Settles on me…

To be peeled once again

When the voice returns,

Reaching out…

Calling me across miles….

SNAPSHOTS

SNAPSHOTS

Snapshots! 
Black, White,

Colored…

All vie for attention!

A plethora of snapshots!

They stare at me!

These faces!

Each tell a tale

Of long spent passion,

Of a frenzied love!

I stand amidst them,

Invoking memories

Of what had been…

The dream laden eyes…

The trembling lips…

Excited and swollen

Their desire unleashed

As they devour

One another,

Tracing a new

Love story…

The tender arms

That hold promises

Of eternal togetherness,

Ecstasy transporting

Them on gossamer wings

 To a world of their own.

Unaware…

Oblivious…

That all fades in time…

Pales…withers…crushed

To dust….

Their glazed eyes

Plead for answers…

Haunted faces!

Where did it all go?

Their screams

Almost audible…

The longing that

Tore the very soul,

The passion that

Ignited in a blaze,

The hopes,

The promises

The love that was theirs

Timeless…

Where?

Why?

I have no answers…

Silence my only recourse…

The sea of faces

 My very image…

I walk away,

Turn the pages of my life,

As a lone tear slides

Down my heavy bosom…

Their love…

A fairy tale now

Their faces…

Inanimate and lifeless

Their hopes and dreams…

An illusion…

I walk away wiser,

Glancing one last time

At the fool

Still trapped in snapshots…
