Echoes within me still remember your mellifluous voice,
blue waters in the pool of my heart still preserve the reflection of your eyes,
honey melting slowly on my tongue reminds your love,
sweetness was defined to me the way i understood, first  by your presence.

why does the cat still look wistful through the window,
the wind misses its tune thinking it gets your scent again,
heart sacrifices few beats, every time the clock chimes,
time runs out fast for me, yet hope keeps vigil to make up lost time,

I carry within me a moment of our life, a jewel we chiseled
on the verdant hill we stood overlooking the valley, till horizon,
prompted by the musky scent of forest flowers that enveloped us
we kissed, transported to a world above, touched our  star
that golden moment of our love we gifted to each other, the hope remains

When I aim high

*hope's ashes with the winds fly!

Butterfly finds
immortality
a nuisance

Distant star
cries out light

Wizard of words
drinks silence

Confidence is
the God of silence

Sun never craves
for encore

His feet washed in the breaking waves
stands the faceless recorder of memories.
As glistens clean
seawashed skins of honeymooners
he waits for one call
to preserve those moments
only if when the tides fall
later years would recall
from the prints of that time
shadows of a yore
of being together on the seashore!

Don't venture too far he whispers
none can fathom high tide's curse
before is lived one lovely day
monsters from deep carry you away.

Don't venture beyond help
he mutters as if to himself
*if only you knew awaits what burn
when spend yourself the tides turn!

Don't go lovers too deep
I too drowned in faith's leap
with faith in love rode tide high
in the sands buried those dreams lie!

His voice cracks in the thunder’s peal
My ego failed me in life’s each deal
Never did see what the other saw
Too blind to notice my own flaw!

In the candlelight his face wears a gloom
Two tremulous shadows darken the room
Forever I felt the world is for me
My viewpoints matter only!

Like a deluge pours the thunderous rain
In deafening din rattling windowpane
Focused only me only tried to get
***** in void now when egos abate!

Flickers a grave loss in his dulled eyes
Unshackled from self its obdurate disguise
*Over the ruins of ego is born in me the belief
The reward is not in the getting but lies in all our give!

Time, on its canvas,
Sketches mortality in dust
Lying, and ego coffined.
