Beautiful Night

Some nights are beautiful..

They almost drown you

In your own memories..

From past to present..

From silence to words..

Joy flows down the veins

Some nights are beautiful..

Time pauses to breathe

Pulses synchronize ..

Heart beats together..

Two souls, live together..

Diverse they are..

Like the notes of music..

But absolutely in harmony

They are, together

Like a symphony..

Eyes closes... night ends...

Morning washes off the dream..

Yet that which remains

Residue of few words..

Fall like crumbs..

Waiting to be gathered again..

Waiting again, for another night..

Some nights are truly beautiful..

Lost Senses

Sip after sip

My pulse slip

Away from me..

Slowly I move 

From out to in

My own-self..

Only to reveal

My emptiness

To myself.. !

Sparking wine

Hijacks me

From myself

And places me

Far away

Near you ..

Distance erases

And within

Closed eyelids

My love

Breathes ..

But for moments

Till I regain

My lost senses !

Kiss

A soft kiss 

On my trembling lips

That you planted once

Had sunk into my skin

Reached the soul..

It is still living there..!

I often dig it out..

Brush it with my palm..

And again keep it within..

That soft kiss..

Flutters its wings 

Like a restless butterfly..

Wants to reach you..

And plant itself 

On your lips..

Your kiss, wants to return

To you..

Come, and collect it..

I kept it safe... 

Deep within my soul!

Existing, Yet Existing Not !

Rising sun, melts into the sea

Scarlet turns the water expanse

As if, almost, blushing like me !

I tread alone upon the morning shore

Sand wrapped around my bare feet

A world that I had kept hidden

Far away, now wants to unveil

My world moves towards you

My world instigates !

Beyond the crimson horizon

Somewhere in the end of this extent

A piece of sun begs to rise

But has lost its hue in the foggy element.. !

I keep on waking, towards the sea..

Waves rushes in... one falls upon me

And washes me of my everything ...

I no more remain a I..

My heart too is astray..

Now that I walk back, 

From nowhere to nowhere

I feel.. life's debt I got to repay !

So I send you a picture..

A far off earth enveloped in gold..

My soul's casket empty to the core..

Nothing it is that I hold !

Empty I went, emptier I rebound

Nothing lost... nothing found...

Shore gave me sand... 

Waves washed them off..

I, but, like my love.. 

Existing, yet existing not !

~Manjuri~

Needs

I need your soul

To cling into my body

And fill me with life..

I need your eyes

On my cold face

To see the sun shine..

I need your touch

On my bare skin

To keep me alive..

I need your words

To be poured in my ears

And fill me with music..

I need you, to be me

And your breaths I need

To continue with life !

~Manjuri~

Winter Evening

Winter evening darkens

Behind my closed window..

My words translates my silence

The day that I have left behind

Doing nothing, idle... almost gone

Shall be kept archived in my heart..

A day.. immersed in thoughts

A day.. that I loved you without reason..

That shall remain, day shall end..

Yet night shall have its own advent 

And in the darkness, I shall wait

For your voice.. to give a call..

And then together, we shall

Save the glory of the gone day

And hold together, this passionate night !

~Manjuri~

Love Story

Tireless waves lashes the shore

Breaks only to again restore

Neither the tide gives up

Nor does the sea

Endless efforts of

An eternal love-story !
