Concealed !

Oh my hidden love,

You are the pearl in my tears...
You a sparkle in my smile..
You a beat in heart's core..
You my air, when I breathe for a while..!

You are the shimmer in my champagne..
You the lustre in my glass of wine..
You are the colour in my drunken eyes..
You are my lonely night's shine..

You are the feeling of first spring day..
You the morning winter chill...
You my warmth in summer days..
You my rain on window-sill !

You are hues on my garden blooms..
You are the my joy in butterfly..
You are the infinite in finite me..
You are the ocean, where I have lost "I" !

In Choice !

I choose to be with you..


In my reality and.. in my dream..
In my one life and .. hundreds after it..
In my senses and.. when I am out of it..
In my laughter and..in my tears..
In my sorrow and.. as much in my joy..
In my giving and..in my receiving ..
In my heart eternal and..in my body perishing..
In my leisure and...when am working..
In my words and .. in my silence...
In my creation and..when I construct nothing..
In my walks in the morning and.. in idle evening...
In my routine day and.. in my haphazard night..
In my beginnings and.. in all my ends..

I choose to be with you..

Complete !

I... a whole I, tucked in your arm,
When I bore nothing, but you,
In my eyes, in my heart,
In my breath, a you..
Entwined I was, 
In you..
Like that creeper,
Of money plant..
Which cuddled the grills
Of my balcony..
I lay numb..
Dead to my own sensations..
Nothing kept me alive,
But your touches..
Like a baby..
Sleeping in mother's womb..
I slept in you...
Where, untimely separation...
Called for death...
Even separated... we are one...
One whole of me...
In a part of you !

Words !

Today my words are flowing..
I have no control over them..
They dance... they create..
They throb ... they exist...
Am not incomplete today...
Am full to the brim..!
The beauty once you had given..
Is reflecting today...
In my words and me...
Come and see..
Come and feel..
How my words seal ..
You in  a symphony ..
You in a rhythm...
You in a piece of music ...
Each word of mine...
Tuned... and framed..
For you, in you..
Or else, words are sound..
Mere noise.. from which 
Ashes rise..
Today they are poetry..
Beautiful and complete !

Evening !

Evening arrives on my senses..
Am getting engulfed..
My breath tangled ..
My pulse ticking...
As I run down the corridor..
Corridor of memories..
Magic wand of time..
Is waved somewhere..
I begin to run backward...
Away from myself...
Towards you ?
Twilight it is..
Somewhere in-between..
Day and night..
Time freezes...
I freeze...
Every evening same story..
By night all settles down...
My breath renews its life...
I live on, again ..
Onto a new tomorrow...
Again waiting...
For a memorable new evening !

~Manjuri~

Trap !

In my verses heart..
Deep within..
In my word's soul..
In my creation..
I have locked you !
This lock has no key..
However you try, maybe..
You cannot flee..

Net I have spun..
With my poem..
I trap you in them..
Each day, in a new way !
The day my words end..
And I have nothing to pen..
You are then free..
Free from me and my poetry !

~Manjuri~

Last Love !

The night deepens like my heart...
And we are still apart...
Oh my love...
Come to haunt...
Haunt my senses..
Blend in my whisky..
Let me sip you...
Oh my love...
My last love...!


The night deepens like my heart...
And we are still apart...
Oh my love..
Come... to rule my dreams...
Dance and sing with me...
Hold my breath in yours..
Let me live..
Oh my love...
My last love ... !


The night deepens like my heart...
And we are still apart...
Oh my love...
Come to be me...
Let you become me...
I become you...
When we are one..
Oh my love...
My last love ... !
