Unnoticed Love

You are still there in my mind.
You are so real,
Equally dream sometime
Like a distant star out of my reach.
I could not wipe you off.
Not that, I succeeded in leaving a mark in your heart.
Like In history, an insignificant part
My existence blinks in the darkness.
I knocked on your door.
The noise couldn't be bigger than silence of yours.
Amidst the crowd, waiving hands of mine
Remained unnoticed, did never shine.
While I keep getting immersed in deeper darkness
I bring in all my love together to set it on fire.
If you see it once,
Let its warmth reach you once, my dear.

A win over cancer

The claws get deeper in your body, every day.
Pain is written all over your face.
The disease seems to have pushed you
Many years ahead.
Wrinkled skin, eyes sank in;
Terribly thin
Body, confined to bed
Merely exists.
My heart cries for you, Mama.
You seem to be now alone in this battle;
Fighting every moment for your life.
I find it difficult to see you suffer.
But nothing works in our favor.
My heart bleeds.
I shout for help.
Responses only pave the way
To a deeper darkness.
Helpless me, look at your eyes.
They still shower so much love for me.
Nothing could win over it, ever.

You and I

You came and just swayed my mind
The way the cloud of Nor'wester takes over the sky.
The way the earth is shaken by the whirlwind,
And the downpour washes away all that come by.
Like a mere existence in that flow, fully entwined,
Dancing on your tune in a complete submission, there was I.

Even after you are gone, you remain...
Like the dominance of storm felt in bowed down world
Like the lush green fields scream after the rain,
And the melody of dripping water entices a heart unfurled,
Like an ecstatic heart's dreams, the field is filled with grains.
In the joy of harvest, the blooming hopes swirled.

Tied with your words

When you speak, my moments experience all horizons of this world.
It is from being in colors of rainbow to get immersed in darkness of night.
Touches of your words throw me sometimes in bottomless ocean
Sometimes they make my day bright.
I just wander around from top of mountains to forested valleys,
From burning heat of summer sun to cool shade of banyan trees.
Like a sailor in stormy ocean, directionless, oscillating in uncertainty
I return to mother’s arms to get drenched in love and tranquility.
While you speak, you pull all my emotion chords
As you are deep inside me, I remain firmly tied with your words.

Obsession

What do I do?
Like I hear the beats of a distant drum
Its resonance plays in my mind.
Caught in its rhythm, inebriated
I do not know what to do.
It’s you, you………and you.

I close all my windows
Thoughts of you still sneak in,
How, I do not know.
Soon I am swept away,
Like floodwater gushed through
A barren land.
Dancing on its wave, in my ecstasy
It’s you, you ……………and you.

You are not with me
Not that you would ever be
Would I ever understand?
As I do not want to see

A Night By The Sea

While I look at the Ocean
The Setting Sun at the horizon bleeds
Someone from behind, pulls the curtain
Hidden pain, we rarely read

The shadow of silence, when embraces the darkness
The abandoned shore finds only life in me
Pondering thoughts dive in search of you
My heart creeps into the turbulent sea

You must be fast asleep now in serenity of land
Swelling waves are my love, emotions
Cry, Roar and then unheard, break on sand
They resurge to draw attention

Voice of sea will soon be lost in the midst of noise
You would wake up in brightness of day
Love never dies, whether you want to know
The ocean will feel then, it’s needless to say

Life - 2

We float with the tides of time,
Dance with boundless joy
At the crest of waves...
Sometimes the mind plunges deep down
At the darkened trough
Where long sadness seems
To grow longer...
Stretched out hands seek more
To stay afloat.

Driven by an unquenched thirst,
Tangled up in many,
Engaged in an endless struggle,
Do we really know
Where are we heading to?

The shore awaits...
We will be thrown onto it one day.
It's a world of eternal peace.
All that we held all along,

I Will Not Return

I will not return.
Away from you, it may be a different world!
Where I do not get to see you,
Where I long to hear your voice
But still deep in my heart you live.
Where the stream of love flows,
Where thoughts of you like a blowing wind
Leaving all worries,
Carries my mind into my dream.
Where we walk through an ecstatic land
Neither the wall nor the horizon
Ever there dare to rise.
Dear, I will ever see you there.

I do not wish to return ever again
Where my love finds hard to breathe
Where I lie unnoticed with billowing pain
Even when you are there
If my deserted heart cries for rain,
And loneliness ever grows bigger

Wish You Were With Me

There at the horizon now
The sun is meeting the sea.
The radiant sky is painted
With splashes of yellow and red;
It seems, the warmth of love
Just came off the water bed.
Wish you were with me!

Touching the wings of one another
The skeins of geese fly.
Do not know, where are they heading to
Is it a place unknown or a home nearby?
From a distance, I watch the magical moves
Where the feelings of love are running high.
Wish you were with me!

The shadow of loneliness is getting longer
And so is the darkness on the beach.
The waxing crescent moon appears brighter,
As she finds the stars within reach.

The Lost Joy

While I wander around the world
From the Mountains to the Oceans,
From the deserts to the abundance of green
Searching for joy of yesterdays,
The small ripples of bliss
Could never become even the tiny waves
And the boundary of my heart, they did ever miss.

Not a long ago, I had overflowing shore
By just gazing at mysterious stars of the night sky,
Watching the flapping of wings of butterflies,
Chasing the cut kites
Or seeing a grasshopper fly,
While I held the thread and its tail was tied.
Getting drenched in heavy rain
And floating the paper boats in waterlogged lane,
Creating traps to catch sparrows
Or move around like Rama with bow and arrows
Were the days of boundless joy,
When the mind was fearless for a careless boy!
