ADIEU.......

I LOVED FOR YOUR
SIMPLE WAYS
UNKEMPT HAIR
SLACKENED DRESS
CARELESS GAIT
THOUGHTFUL FACE
GRACEFUL SMILES.

BUT NOW MY FRIEND
YOU'VE BECOME SOPHISTICATED
A FAR CRY FROM YOUR FORMER SELF
I KNOW NOT YOU.

YOU TREAD ON LANDS UNKNOWN TO ME
SPEAKS A TONGUE SO STRANGE TO ME
HAVE THE LOOKS ALIEN TO ME
AND SO I TAKE MY LEAVE
PARDON ME!

I SHALL MEET YOU WHEN TIMES GO BY
WHEN
YOU AND ME ARE STRIPPED OF FLESH
AND BARE TO SOUL!
FLYING HIGH
MAKES TRUE PROPHECIES.

HOW SHALL YOU KNOW ME
FOR SOULS ARE ALIKE IN EVERY WAY.
I SHALL TELL YOU
YOU SHALL KNOW ME FROM YOUR LOVELY
KISSES ON MY SOUL,WHICH,
I PRESERVE SO FOND!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

ON YOUR BIRTHDAY
MY DEAREST FRIEND
WHAT SHALL I WISH FOR YOU?
SHALL I PRAY GOD THAT
U LIVE A LONG AS I
BUT I'M AFRAID
SO FRAIL ARE HUMAN LIVES!

AS THE WAVES LASHING THE
SHORE PERHAPS?!
NO, AFTER ALL THE WATER IS THE SAME
AND WAVES TREACHEROUS!

OR MAY BE AS THE UMPTEEN STARS
PERMEATING THE NIGHTSKY?
BUT STARS TOO DIE THEY SAY

WELL,I SHALL PRAY THAT YOU LIVE
AS LONG AS I LOVE YOU
FOR WHICH I CAN VOUCH FOR
BLINDFOLD, IS ETERNAL!

SO LIVE UNTO ETERNITY,DEAREST
TRANSCENDING ALL THE VICES OF THE WORLD
LET NO PAIN OR SORROW TOUCH YOU
LIVE LONG TILL THE FRAGRANCE OF LOVE ENDURES!(03/08/09)

ABANDONED

You have gone so far away
So far away into oblivion
And pity,
‘tis only now I realize
how much I needed you (cliché!).
Your breath kept me alive.
How suffocating I am now!
I always followed your footsteps,
now my steps have gone astray.
The Sun and the moon doth shine still
But I’d thrived on the brightness of your b’smiles.
I gather you strewn memories
Like precious gems lost on sand.
One I retrieve, it tells of another
I seek out that and then its another!
Were you so dear and near to me
I wonder! For so profuse are these gems!
Sorry,
I can’t recollect your face.
Was it fair or dark? Of what shape?
Just a presence, and the smiles that glowed, were you
Taken for granted!
Happy that you will be there,happy that
I’ll be loved, come what may!
Yes you were taken for granted.
Friend so dearest, heart that you loved
Loved so fondest, days those precious!
Oh the clouds that wander high above
Rain on me that love which
I squandered away.
A drop,Oh dear! a single precious drop
from your heart…..

AGONY

Today I chopped my heart to pieces umpteen
so that even I too may not recognize
twas an organ that kept me live
fed me love till i lived
and spread my love till i lived.
I rose high above the sky so high
and scattered them to the West wind that blew
let it drift it in its wake.
Rejoice! I'm no more.
Dead on the day I was born!

Outcome

I quarreled with an hon’ble man
an hon’ble man indeed was he.
Silly, he called me
silly I was but he too were silly.
We fought like cats and dogs
Till blood seeped though the flesh.
Words flew like slingshots
Who was the best? neither could decide
Rains drowned our words, but
who cared, the quarrel went off well.
Who was the first to stop
neither noticed, for weary were we equally.
Then looked for each other’s wounds
Does it hurt you my dear?
He asked, but I was concerned for his’
After all an hon’ble man he was and me, silly
But then we locked our hands and
Oblivious of what happened, parted as friends.
So deep was the pain in out hearts
In that we quarreled, for,
We never forgave each other
And never spoke again.
For, inscrutable are the ways of love!

Forgetting

Forgetting is never so difficult.

Cut off all contacts.
No words, no calls.
Speak no more of it.
If you pass by,
Feign unfamiliarity
You never knew
That’s past even grave.
Seek amity anew,
Speak not of yest.
Roses once withered are
Dead forever!

Despite all efforts.

Heart is such a bizarre thing
Drags you back
Makes you walk through lanes old
Makes you listen to words
Spoken long back
Promises made in the yonder
Makes you feel the warmth
Of kisses shared in camera
And makes you wail in utmost agony
Silent screams that shatters eardrums.

Forgetting is never so easy.

Misunderstanding

Don't be mistaken
I love not not you,
nor vie for your love.
I sing no not in praise of you
nor bereave your absences.
I write no not of you
nor share your dreams.
I wander no not seeking you
for I abhor human bonds.
A wisp of cloud exhilarates me
a drop of rain makes me dizzy.
A bloom drenched in dew is my greatest love
a moonlit night is an all time passion.
Like a willo'the wisp wafting in the air
here am I today, gone tomorrow.
Love me not, I love not you
Hate me not,I hate not you!
