Expired Note !

I lay still, 

Beneath the rubble of time,

My breath short, vision gone,

Pulse still, senses numb,

Does the rays shine,

On that early dawn ?

I lay still,

As you tread upon me,

My grave's grass still young,

You trample my heart,

Walk upon my soul,

Relieved am gone?

I lay still,

On my cemented gravestone,

As you sit, smoking,

Reading my epitaph,

Fresh flowers you place,

Are you remembering ?

I lay still,

Now that you forgot this path,

My requiem haunts, 

Creepers hug me,

Am truly asleep,

Bridging my own beyond's !

Stricken And Gone !!

I wanted to hold your hand,
And forwarded mine too,
But you shrunk yours away,
And I just got all my due !!

This is what I am used to,
This is what I expect each day,
With one strike you showed me,
My home, and where I truely lay !!

Love was intoxicating me fully
And I was losing myself in you
One hit, that has punched my soul,
And am in place so alien so new !!

Life took a circle complete,
And left me from where I began,
And Oh yes, Fear not dear one,
I shall not ever return again !!

In Cognizant !

A kind of feeling, deep within,

Longing it is not, I very well know,

As I sit alone, in the life's shore,

And witness them, come and go!

A silence blankets my entire self,

Nothing exists, for nothing I can see,

Paralyzed thoughts, numb desires,

Neither pain nor happiness grips me !

Your presence ablaze's my heart's core,

Your absence does not bring pain anymore,

For with better senses I did realize, that,

None gets more than, what is destined for !

Enlightenment that follows is :~

Sun rises, sets too, moon shines everyday but one,

Stars shines, clouds float, waves takes their turn,

My window wide open, both of room and heart,

Now in solitude, I am cognizant, we meet only to part !!

Only Question Remains !

The dried red rose, that,
Still serves as a bookmark,
Once you had bought for me,
Without any occasion special,
Only on a heart's call...
Was it love ?

That sketch you made for me,
On the reverse of an empty,
Cigarette packet, some motifs,
Of your puzzled mind, and said,
Keep it, for someday, I may not be,
Was it love ?

Those walk down the haphazard lanes,
On chilled winter evenings, foggy,
Misty, gloomy, yet, warm with feelings,
Reasons unknown, destination unreached,
Saw a brighter moon, stars had glitter more,
Was it love ?

Countless waits, numberless annoy,
Speechless days passed in agony,
Known facts, unbelievable truths,
Hidden, camouflaged from all eyes,
A fragile trust of belonging, till the end,
Was it love ?

Years passed by, time did not wait,
It was only me waiting relentlessly,
Still I wait... thousand years gone...
Answer duped me... like ever...
No answer, for, silence never speak,
Was it love ?

Only question remains !!!

On An Autumn Rendezvous !

The sky has washed its gown,
Its blue has been bleached,
Clouds have gone vagabond,
Announcing, autumn has reached !

My heart dances in delight alien,
My senses have stepped out of me,
A kind of bewilderment haunts,
And, the 'I' just got to run and flee !

Festive mood flows in the air,
A call from bosom deep beckon,
Am off on a rendezvous folks,
Am off as I hear some song forlorn !

My backpack carries nothing at all,
My soul bereft of all that once burdened,
Yes, this journey I shall make for myself,
Solely with myself, and some memoirs hardened !

An Ode To A Fallacy Called Love !

Ode to a fallacy called love !

A rusted lamp, half lit, bears some flame of my heart,
Yet with each blow of ruthless wind, it goes off,
Tears me apart !

Some half hearted wishes, some half truths, half trust,
Packed and wrapped in some faint smile, lifeless,
You upon me thrust !

Morning comes in with hope and joy, noon is dull and cold,
Evening is walking in with dead light, night a cheater bold,
As I got nothing to hold!

If this is love, this is the gift of longing, waiting and wanting,
This is what I get, for baring my heart and soul umpteenth,
Am better dead than living !

I Love You !


I love you in my silence,
Love you in my words too,
I love you with all I have,
And with all that makes me you !

I love you with my everything,
And with my nothing as well,
I love you, in all possible ways,
That's all I want to tell !

I love you with myself,
And when am out of me,
I love you with my unseen vision,
And with all that I can see !

I love you, as much as you know,
And much beyond you realize,
Am loving you today, tomorrow,
And shall, till death beckons, and I die!
