Celebrate Again

Come let us celebrate again

The essence of our own being

The glare of our hearts

Come, for a while, let us be

Together again..

Somewhere far off, beyond the hills

Or across the deep blue ocean

Or maybe, where woods are thickest

We sit together, hidden

Let us be, together again..

Let time stop breathing

And wind freezes like us

Let there be complete stillness

Movement, whatever, let it be

Only, of our beating hearts..

Let the wine be poured again

And the stars raise a toast

Let us both be each other's guest

Let us be each other's host..

Let us rewrite our tales

On the sand of the coast

Let us carve our desires

That the mountains can boast

Of our writing on its snowy terrains..

And let us whisper our wishes

On the ears of the windy plains..

Come, let us fall in love again..

So deep that love should be..

That in it we both get lost..

Never to be found again..

Uncelebrated Love

You and I,

In constant conflict

Yet in perfect harmony..

Not sure of that

Soul burning love, anymore

Nor is it completely uncared for..

Still locked in heart's dark chamber

Somethings that we forget to remember

Feelings that are now out of range

We, in a process of everyday change..

Gently when the wind lay its kiss

And ask us, 'Do you not remember this'?

Answers we, have none to spare

Blankly as we sit and stare 

Wondering, what has to us, fate served

More or less than we really deserved..

Traces remain of what is gone

Neither are we together, nor alone

Flee, flee, flee.. let us flee

I from you, you from me

What a worthless ego mind holds

Heart's eyes it blindfolds

Uncherished, uncelebrated love within

Neither alive, nor dead, and still breathing..

A Night For You

Day End

My sky, on fire this evening

Burning like my heart

Why the day end keeps on reminding me

That we are painfully apart !

Why the hues appear to be dull

And the sky fades into the arms of vignette

Why the day end keeps on reminding me

All that I intend to forget !

Why my evening fills itself

With a fragrance, once I knew

Why the day end keeps on reminding me

That, I still love you !

When A Star Bloomed

When a star bloomed in my garden

I watched from far

Wondered, if I could gift you

A sight of this flower..

Deep are its hues

Heart it has, of gold

From me to you, can it reach

By its stories, untold..

Morning it has unfolded

By evening it shall wither

How can you set your eyes

On its petals tender..

How incomplete is my garden

How very insipid is it, sans you

Come to enhance, come to flourish

Come, my florets are dying without you..
