Happy my friend?

Tell me now,
Are you happy?
Greener are the meadows
Does the leaves rustle the same?
Do you stil teach how to teach?
and how knowledge won by many a ways?
How are your new friends?
Does any of them evoke my memories?
The door to your house remains closed.
I just knock once and go my way.
Your journeys are long and distant.
How long and whereto I don't know.
You no longer tell me the names of the books you read.
No longer mind my presence,
I feel non existent.
Our precious secrets, are they intact?
or have you strewn them to the wind?
My dearest, how estranged have you become
Why? I know not!
The skeletons of our eternal friendship
rattles in the golden coffin.

Tell me now,
are you really happy?

I love………..

I pray God that I be able
to love all.
But fail miserably.
I love people
with eyes of God
words of angels
tread of winds
wings of birds
thirst of waves
lust of earth
Who,
drinks of rains
thrives on verses and,
born of silence.

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…..
