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…

AS THE VEIL LIFTED.....


AS THE VEIL LIFTED….



He took her hand
And led her
Down a trodden path,
Of unspoken promises,
Dreams and fantasies.
She stood in awe
Beguiled…
With a song in her heart
And a sprint in every step
Her hand in his
She walked the miles unaware
Believing…
Till…

A fork appeared
A crossroad of decision
An unbeaten path
Tantalizing…
The unknown beckoning
Promising fulfillment…
She tugged at his hand
Hope glowed flame like
She gazed into his eyes
But recoiled…
Fear looked back at her
Indecision etched
In his heart
She died that moment
Her heart pierced
By a stake
Cried, bleeding…
He turned away
The beaten road
His comfort…

Love and thread bare
Shreds of hope
Egged her
And she followed him…
Faith not yet succumbed
She waited for
That glimpse of courage
Of conviction in them
But…
Every tread of his
An attempt to hold on
Every word of love
A plea to have faith
Became just words
Hollow, empty…
She vacillated between
Despair and hope
Until…

A strong wind blew
Purposeful, determined…
And as the veil lifted
She stood stripped
Of all illusion
Naked and broken…
He had chosen his path.
And she needed hers…

With one last glance
She retraced her steps…
The unknown called her
Fearless and hopeful
She broke away
From the shared journey…
Promises of a life
And love fulfilled…
Of adventure
Of courage and conviction
Awaited her…
As the veil lifted…

Our journey

Our Journey


Someone said “love happens”.
 Love happened to me…..
You tiptoed into my loveless life
 Knocking on the door to my soul,
 My lost, ignorant soul…
Beckoning you into the deep recesses
 Of my numb, dead heart
Something in you awakened me…
A stirring, a familiar tug of my heart.

Days became an anticipation,..
Waking up with a song in my heart
The deluge of passion and intensity
Swept away agonies of a yesterday.
Drinking in every word, every sigh
Intoxicated and heady
Life took on a magical hue.
The smile that was lost
In the darkness of my heart
Spread its wing to soar once more.

Seeking the one, my soulmate
In every face that crossed my lonely path
I have stumbled and faltered.
Many a journey was embarked
Only to abandon…
And yet we met when all was lost
You belonged to another…
We sought to walk the mile
Strewn with tears and laughter
Our heart as one…
Tasting the salty tears of futility
I walk with you my love
With no destination in sight.
