Fished the mild sun from the pond
In waters soothing let my legs float
The ripples gurgled
Soaking slowly the air tender

Floating phrases I sent with rays and ripples,
Sending away boats of sorrows
Bringing back harmony in days that dribble
When fished the mild sun
From the pond
Let go of sorrow to begin again anew

Miles and miles I have walked .. searching for you
In the bright aura of the mightiest sun God ,
The molten sands burning into my feet ,
But I kept searching for ur footprints on the sands ........

Miles and miles I have walked .. searching for you,
I've wandered in the infinite deserts of time,
Found an oasis on the road but it coudnt quench my thirst .. my pain ,
But I kept looking for u to tranquil me ..my pain ...........

Miles and miles I have walked .. searching for you,
I crossed over onto the barbwired territories of destiny ,
But Destiny is cruel ..she cut me deep and I walked wid my blood soaking into my blank future ,
but yet I kept searching for you leaving a message in red all over.........

Miles and miles I have walked ..searching for you,
In the various mirrors of my eyes I yearn to see ur reflections ,
Mirrors of my dreams shattered in them..pieces hurting bring liquid pain flowing down ,
In spite I keep searching coz that mirrors a part of u ........

Miles and miles I have walked ..searching for you ,
The endless search coudnt stop as death digs its fangs into my fading breath,
I've whispered a message in the wind .. in the hope to find you,
I'll keep searching for you .... Waiting always on the other side.......
Searching for you ... Living in the hope to see you again .... I'm waiting for you sweetheart ....!!!

Brilliance of your face ,
the heavens in my palms ,
trembling I hold .

Dances of my tongue ,
staged on porcelain lining ,
the crescent of your back .

Your undraped frame ,
becoming the hourglass ,
balances the night and the day,
my gaze spellbound .

O Mistress of hearts ,
crimson love you set ablaze ,
while I be the match and you the flame.

Misty breeze
Hair speaks tongues
Crimson gold
Soaked soulful dandelions
Nature lives beauty* !!
New dawn the purest of the lights

smoked molecules of rigid pain
                               invading my motionless mind .
my mind being the battleground for ages
                               here unmasks the molecular invasion
                               to attain nirvana over the most powerful ...THE MIND.

Lay low sunshine
Carried on shoulders
Songbirds nestle
Wings lay asleep
Nights scent settled
O'er petals of dew
Sepia mosaics
Create streetlights
Wind whistles
My sheets giggle
Stars draw dim
The moon sketches dreams
In broken slumber he seems
Sweet sleep is rare
Sun has bid adieu
Nandini Apr 2014
I entangled myself into this blissful sin of " luvmaking "
You scarred my naive mind by naming it " *** "
Those sharp stinging words we exchanged
But we don't wanna let go
Coz my addiction of u is zenith
Even then I luv u ....
Knowing ur that dagger that would once again cut me through ...
Nandini Jun 2014
Let me whisper to you then
My heart , I've missed you.
As you've been away
Trampled , soiled with pain.
My nights cried away
My Sun eclipsed with lonliness.
Come back my beloved
My heart doesn't follow me ,
But tis bleeding away only to be with you ...
Nandini Jun 2014
My heart entwined into her  Kangna …
They whisper to each other ,
through their twinkling murmurs and giggles.
As her perfect slender arms ,
sway across the mystical winding of her hips,
They rhythmically dance to her pulse being the tune.

Anware of her presence lost into boyish laughter ,
shes  walking across me on sun parched streets,
Her Kangna summons me ,
and I wear my heart on my sleeve ,
My heart again entwined into her Kangna .

The sun has smeared the sky with crimson orange ,
I stand possessed by her kohl rimmed eyes,
and oh! she quickly lowers her gaze .
Every ray flirtingly kisses your Kangna goodbye,
as if to taunt me.

Its Friday filling my eyes with surma ,
I almost have bathed in athar comes the call  for prayer .
pulling my saafa onto my shoulders after prayer I leave.
I find her choosing mirrors for her choli in the bazaar.
She blushes pink on seeing me gaping at her awestruck,
and the boys teasingly cheer my name “Marauf!”
As she shifts her hair to the back of her ear ,
her Kangna cast their spell again..
And my heart's entwined into her Kangna.

I  once heard one of the mullahs saying,
"women are made of more jealousy than water"
i wonder thats true because as she walks to fetch water,
jealousy pours down in the womens eyes
for every mujnoon yearns for her glimpse.

Absently thinking you swirl your Kangna ,
the fragrance of your  skin mesmerizes them.
They know your secrets and unveil them to me,
through their delicate minakari embossed in their glitter.

i wait drowned in impatience ,
my eyes searching traces of you in the street,
when you tap me out of my search,
i feel myself melting away on your touch,
as again my heart's entwined into your Kangna forever i guess ?
Kangna : Bangle ,
Surma : kajal,
Athar : perfume
Saafa : Scarf
Mullah : a learned muslim person in arabic
Minakari : jewellery design

Your smile unveils mysteries
I'm the traveler to unravel them ...
Never stop smiling ..
You never know who's falling in love with it !
Nandini Apr 2014
As time cant be caged into an hour glass.
Only if you could confine the Noor of the light itself into a jar
would a poet ever stop writing ...
Noor : meaning light itself.
Tell me can we ever stop writing ? The thoughts and words of a writer is like the sky you cant measure it cant get above it and cant reach it ... its endless!
any feedback ??

Lagoons slumbered in your eyes
Had to be let loose
Soaking my canvas
In the palette of those pools
Nandini Oct 2014
Battered, bruised but not bent
My pens crushed, but not broken
Inks meek but hasn't lost its colour
Tears fall, sorrow seeps into my paper
Fingers don't dare to write
But words are my brains nerves
And in my blood run letters
You can hold storms
But can't incarcerate my lines
Don't lose hope .......poetry is life
never lose hope .... Life never stops living !
Nandini Aug 2014
Writing poems bout you
I hang them in my room
The wind clinking the sound of words

Living in a glass house
I invite the sun every dawn to dusk
To dispel shadows of the dark words
Meaningfully they glaze on hopeful strings


But I let the water be the door
Where my  translucent  emotions flow
There the words roar and tranquil

**Last but not least on firm ground I stand
Where in my hands' clay the words mindlessly play
Moulding them in canvases to string them once again
Blending the elements to create a room where I want to write poetry !!
Nandini Mar 2014
Its clouded , the poison running through my blue black veins ......
          burning me like as if molten fire was poured into my veins ,
you made me the evil  i never wanted to be ,  i mastering it.
When the liquid pain from within rises to my eyes , i put on a mask ......
          to hide the scars that run deep ,very very deep indeed ,
the scars have been engraved , poison slumbers and rises in them .
The  pain inside is like a curse , so vicious , molten and drugginly venomous....
         i could poison the air i breathe in ,
it could even smoke you to death slithering into your perfect body.
love is the poison ..... i hate my hatred to luv it more than anythng .
Nandini Aug 2014
Your my prayer
Rain Gods set you free
I soak you into the soul
I wish you were like the rain , let loose into my soul
Nandini May 2015
She torched my dark skies
flaming smiles
Coloured rainbows
She dips me into
For My dog " princess " ... I luv her
Nandini Jul 2014
Barren lands lie within ,
Heart parched dry ,
Rain over me O Goddess divine
When you know , that one person's your thirst and also your tranquility at the same moment..... The more you want him or her
Nandini Aug 2014
Standing in the rains
Broken skies , Heavens unleashed
Sadness of the soul washes away
I'm standing in the rain it's very peaceful here
Nandini Aug 2014
Read me in the stars
When you miss me
I'll be there always when
Sadness hovers you're out of glee
Just look above and I'll be**....
Read me when you miss me ...
Distances weaken relationships , so let not the word part you ...

Every poet has a reason
Poetry he crafts
Healing in the hearts prison.

Every poet has a reason
Carefully he colours
His souls grey canvas.

Every poet has a reason
In his minds Infiniti
He sees every season.

Every poet has a reason
His hopes are his ink
Shattered on a paper

Every poet has a reason
Burdens he pens
That can't be told*

Every poet has reason
For Beauty of poetry
Is what he admires
Every reason has a reason to make a person write ....

THE RHYTHMIC TREMBLE OF UR LIPS ,
          FROM UR LIPS TO UR HIPS  TO UR FINGERTIPS ..
                   I WANNA KISS UR BODY ALL OVA ,
           FROM THE GOOSEBUMPS ON UR SKIN , BABY U DON'T WANNA SAY A WORD .
          
THAT'S THE TOUCH UR BODYS BEEN MISSING ....
I MISS THE WAY U HELD ME ALWAYS .

Rooted in Time , events  unfold

Sands clutched within palms,
now my oasis.
The Oceans share my destiny

Let me weave signs of love to you
For I want to dive into
Those glistening dark pools , your eyes
Where light dances

I lay words on your lips I want to read forever
For I smeared my prayer beads
with your name
Alas I weaved signs , signs of my love

Making you my dua while I bowed to the One
For I wish for your name to be mine
As you weave my signs back** ....
This is all I did helplessly .... Coz finally I knew " love is powerful tenderness which becomes at times almost in supportable" ....
Dua : plea , prayer
Nandini May 2015
You left ...
And you left behind your silences.
Baby your silences I was reading
Some were grey skies waiting to pour ,
While some were raging storms
And your echoes thundered
I could read him only when I read his silences
Nandini Apr 2014
I'm holding your name underneath my tongue ,
in case you ask me to make my favorite sound .
Nandini Aug 2014
Stranger I have roads in my eyes ,
The cement lies wet in solitude
Your footprints it waits to imprint

I robbed the sun from the world
In my eyes the sunflowers turn to him

On the sides I planted
Honeydew and daffodils
Their fragrance bids goodbye
to linger on my window sills

Come stranger visit them someday
While you resist your world to be on my way
Some lines I spilled thinking about the strange times ...
Nandini Apr 2014
Do you ever remember,
to miss me ?
Like I don't miss ever,
to remember you ....
It aches when you can't make someone love you back ...
Nandini Aug 2014
Rolling over with desire
Lay neath the fuchsia petals

Morning sun sets ablaze
Your cinnamon hair let down

He wonders how ? that ,
That perfect porcelain face caged  him ?
When he has painted it

The fragrance he can't sense
Becomes his captor .

He stroked those almond eyes
With the dark of the night

She lay in his picture , his muse
Like aphrodite herself came alive on his canvas

Wishing he could just lay there
He curses saying ....
He's just an artist and he'll find another muse !
An artist can breathe life into his work ....or he could also condemn it to death
Nandini Jun 2014
They slumber in the deepest of the minds,
they battle conquer lose even die as time unwinds
our lives their playground , its always been.
once they decided to hide and seek,
madness was counting while wanting to break free,
Lie hide like  it always  , behind  the  most beautiful tree.
love with no place to hide but a rose bush,
Everyone was caught except love hiding in ambush.
Envy revealed  loves hideout  to madness with jealousy,
madness jumped in and dragged love carelessly.
Fate blinded love as it lost its eyes to the thorns,
Now God  thundered a curse for madness to adorn.
That madness to be around  love till end of time ,
this  pushes me to wonder
maybe thats how loves called blind while madness always accompanies it !
My friend read this to me ..... ive laid it down in my words giving it a face of a story.
Nandini Aug 2014
Mind cursed to silence
Confines the writer
To Thoughtless prison
Even when not writing we think about writing... Strange actually for a person facing writers block !!
Nandini Aug 2014
Painting dreams neath fallen curtains of eyes
Vague colours blended ,
desires foods for dreamers
Desires birth dreams !!
Nandini Jul 2014
Tell me then ,
why they're fated together? The pen and the ink ?

The ink lies meek
With the pen it doth speak.
soaked in spirits powerful
Moulding mundane to artful.
That's why they're fated together !

Silent fingers woven around
Through the pen's lips my poetry's bound
Mere words nothing but mute
Breathes life my ink absolute.
That's  why they're fated together !
The pen and the ink are bound by each other to tell stories for times endless!
Nandini Jul 2014
Spanish proverb " the belly rules the mind " ..
Let's start then..

Firstly you must have all the ingredients ready
Your mind ( as per you )
Imagination 50gms
Dreams 20 gms
Inspiration 30 gms
Feelings 100 gms

Now
Rinse your mind thoroughly
With universal calmness
And marinate with sanity

Next
Butter it up forever
With inspiration
Make sure it's lucid

Now again
Create a wrapping of feelings
Careful add the least hate
And let it heat in the oven of trials

That's enough not more than a lifetime
Very important the plating

Take a clean sheet of life
Lay it over carefully
garnish with your experiences
And I guess that's ready

THE PERFECT RECIPE!
Life isn't perfect ...we are created to shape it !

Dances the universe in illusional darkness
Recreates light his third eye
Awakes shiva from his celestial slumber
Third eye of shiva : recreates light destroying darkness of illusions
Shiva : god in Hindu mythology
Nandini Apr 2014
Pages of my book ,
                         adorn petals of your name,
                         Your essence lingers ,
                         though you’ve withered away .
                         emerald  gaze  oceans
                         stained with your mirage,
                         As  your  memories  ,
                         fog  my  mind timelessly.
                        Thoughtful  slumber  rippled ,
                         with  just a touch.
                        Hold me closer and ...
                        I’d bring down the waves bowing at your feet.
Love can be timeless ,
Id never be busy enough , not to miss you....
Nandini Jul 2014
Today the sky's come down to touch me
Rainy hands it lays all o'er me
Let me then pray to the angels above the earth
Wash me pure for calmness to be

While clouds slyly sneak my plea above
Echoes thunder as the sky claps in approval
Let me then pray to the angels above the earth
Free my mind from the doubts's feudal

Blessed are the angels that came down to see
Why the sky cried on seeing the misery
Of dying hopes in the drought cast hearts
As they answer my plea of sweet victory

Yes! Today the sky's come down to touch me !!
A few lines inspired by the rain ....!
Nandini Aug 2014
Blinded the dark
of her ebony hair
He shaded himself
in their shadows to care
Reflections of
charming pools he dived
Into her eyes coloured honey of the hive
Musical of the two souls
on soundless stage
Bees humming to flowers
the secret they caged
Danced her lips to
the travellers will
The travellers oasis of which
he couldn't tranquil*!
Nandini Aug 2014
Words stupidly melt into the paper
They dribble from the eyes falling
Falling to doom just to wither

Haven't these words known
My pains are resonating in them
Yes they are old out they have worn

Your fragrance hasn't left my skin
Reminiscing the times I laugh
My heart now alabaster not the earlier tin

You've faded like darkness from my hair
Why have I been waiting is the question ?
Why couldn't you wash away like the last nightmare

The petals in my diary you die
The colours of your red soak into my pages
Only to seep into my eyes as I cry ...
Just few lines I had written .... He he he he just remembering old times !!
Nandini Jun 2014
Your eyes harbour storms reckless,
mist clad darkness soothingly descends.
Silence is the language speaketh two souls.

Words and words are all I have ,
                                           to take your heart away ,
               Darling ! let me whisper to you our beautifully dark secrets,
                                  Let me rouse  my passionate desires ,
                                        in deep slumber as they lay.

                                           I’ve crystalized you ,
                                    in the several mirrors of my eyes.
              As I drink in your evanescent  love along your honeydew lips,
                              You glisten silver crescent in my eyes,
                                    when gazing at the night skies.

                                 As words and words are all i have ,
                                          come Love set me free ,
                                  Because you alone posses the key …
                I’ll canvas the world to write you my love letter sweetheart,
                                As words and words are all I have ,
                                    let me rob you of your heart.
Nandini Apr 2015
You can't see,
as I wouldn't show.
It's an art colouring,
with hidden secrets,
you are the one with the secret soul.
The false veil is taken.
Lighted secrets cast the darkest shadows....
Nandini Oct 2014
I went to the waves ,
And my sorrows came crashing
There is a calmness at the sea you want to borrow , if I could with every wave I wash away the sorrow .

There are poetic whispers
in your kohl rimmed eyes.
I"m always washed away on their shores
we kept looking at each other to let our eyes whisper secrets....
Nandini Dec 2014
Skies held in my palms ,
Filled my eyes with the blue ,
The sound of nature echoed .
The wind is the secret ......
