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?

MY DREAMS

MY DREAMS

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

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….

Awaiting Salvation

AWAITING SALVATION

The deep resonance of your voice

Stirs my broken soul

My heart overjoyed

As I listen to your words…

When you whisper

“I love you baby”

I imagine me in your arms

And remember those moments

That stays buried in me,

Us in our make belief world…

My entrapped soul struggles

To fly and live those lost dreams

It forgets…

Us, no longer exist

We are now travellers

Paving our own destiny

Two separate entities

Two unlike destination…

I chastise my ever hopeful heart

For dreams that are not mine

Wishing sometimes I could

Rip it out…

My desire and longing for you

Burn like ember in the

Darkness of my mind

And I wait for it to die…

For loving you like I do

Has withered the petals

Of my very being

Torn and broken

It awaits another rebirth,

Another salvation…

But for now it lays

Amidst carcasses of questions

That remain dead and silent.

DUSK

DUSK

The dusk awaits patiently,

Neither here nor there…

For the comforting night,

Not far behind…

Like me…

I am dusky like the

Bewildered dusk

I wait for the

Enveloping darkness,

Tired of the ambiguities

Of my life…

Fair?

Dark?

Always somewhere between

Neither here nor there

In a limbo with you…

You say you love me

I am the dusk…

Do you see the darkness?

That lurks…

Stealthily waiting…

To plunge me into

A bottomless pit?

Or do you see the light?

I show to you and the world

Hiding my woes and lost dreams?

A façade nearly perfected.

I am dusky…

Suspended in between

Wanting to surrender to you…

Yet restraining the reins

Of my passion…

Do you know me?

This shadowy self…

I wait to be on the other shore

Fair or dark perhaps…

What would you choose?

If only partially…

For giving yourself

Was never your intention…

I am the dusk…

A duality…

Know me

I am to you what I portray…

Never the whole

Part light

Part dark

Always unfathomable,

Seductive…

DESTINY

DESTINY

The sun’s golden hues bathe

Her undulating contours

As she lay basking

In the warmth of her thoughts

Today the universe has

Opened up to new vistas

And she stands in its midst

No longer alone

“How did you find me?”

Her soft luminous eyes

Speak to his

“I was lost never to be found

And yet….

How did you find me, my love?”

She smiles…

Her face radiant as the sun

That looks down on her.

Her furrowed brows,

With heavy ripples of pain

That seemed etched forever

Give way to a calmness

 A pool of serenity

“I looked for you everywhere

But you were lost…”

Her luscious lips

Murmur to his

“Shall we walk the same path?

Like we did

In other lifetimes, my love?”

He takes her in his arms

As she buries herself

In his warmth

He whispers her name…

And in that

She finds the answers

To her life, her search,

Her agonizing journey

As they come rushing

Like a deluge

Overpowering and overwhelming

She knows…

They share the same road

Their destinies intertwined

Forever, always…

My Love...

My love…

What is it about you my love?

That you come uninvited…

Filling my empty heart

Overwhelming my senses

When I searched not for you…

What is it about you my love?

That I want to break into

A dance, a song

A smile for everyone,

Thinking of you…

What is it about you my love?

That the colors and hues

Of my dreary world

Intensify to a riot,

Vibrant and intense…

What is it about you my love?

That I hold on to your hand

Never wanting to let go…

Wishing every moment

Never flitted away…

What is it about you my love?

That my desires and passion

Soar like an eagle

Reaching newer heights…

Exploring new dimensions in me

What is it about you my love?

That with renewed vigor

I embark on this journey

Of life, filled with strife

Without fear, without doubt…

What is it about you my dearest love?

That enwrapped in your arms

I feel rested and peaceful

At last…
