Come,
Find me by the sea
Look prudently,
For I'm not what you perceive..

Am I the wave,
Distant
Ruffled,
A captive of the wind

Or
Am I
Tender,
Rapture,
Eloping with the wind tonight..

Come,
Find me by dawn
Look prudently
For I'm not what you believe

Am I
The distant weary traveller tale
The Tale of endless starry nights..

Or
Am I,
Cupid
Sensuous
Consummating the tangerine sky
Until sunrise..

Come,
Find me by the park.
Look meticulously my love,
For I'm not what I reveal

Am I
The crumbly undusted forgotten bench,
Stained, left to scar.

Or
Am I the blowing leaf
Scaled mountains,
And the parks..
Alluring,
Telling everyone,
How lovable we truly are.

Come Sincerity
Come aspiration
Come illumine my soul in ineffable ways.
Be receptive to the light my coy soul ere you sway,
For Ruffled respulsive is the vital
Guarding the hallway.

Come sincerity
Come aspiration
Come illumine my soul in ineffable ways
For I must serve the divine
Pure resolute,myriad ways.

Dear life,
You've lived enough on the surface
You must learn to believe...it has no sheen
Only cracks, too blinding to be seen
But...they do reveal
If promised to live, deep within

Dear love,
Restless are your ways
Fuelled by an insatiable desire..
Learn to believe
There is nothing more left to acquire
For you are never content and see no end..

Keep me etched in your memory
Not haunted or abhorred
But our sweetened memories perched up there
Of our first heavenly kiss last fall

Keep me etched in your heart
Not haunted or abhorred
Just sweetened memories cradled in there
Like a baby secluded in a mother's arm

Keep me etched in your soul
Not haunted or abhorred
But angelic and mystical
Mystical as the Divine's call

The dawn surrenders to the broad daylight,
Asks; would you yearn for my return and not lose sight;
It's the hour the gods wake;
Would be a sin,to let go of the blessings so eternal;
Like the oceans and the skies.
(The reply)

The daylight surrenders to the evening twilight
Asks; would you yearn for my return and not lose sight;
You're the hope from many lives
A warmth that eases yet magnifies
For damp drenched spirits, a shrine.
(The reply)

The dusk surrenders to the night;
Asks; Would you yearn for my return and not lose sight;
The wandering little birds must perch on a haven called home
As they chirp drawing attention upon the tangerine sky,
For you, are their sole guiding light.
(The reply)

The night surrenders to the first morning light
Asks; would you yearn for my return and not lose sight?
You're the lone playground, lovers don't hide
The shy and the heroic hop on the same ride,
For you are their harbor and respite.
(The reply)

Let me kiss you..
Don't ask, how many more times.
My lips, your tender cheeks
Let me alone
Savor the sweetness,
For you are forever mine..

Let me cuddle you..
Don't ask, how many more times.
For the erratic beats of my heart,
Yearn for rhythm, solace,
When un-attended
By your nursing heart..

Let me breathe you
Don't ask, how many more times.
Your hair, wavy
Your skin so creamy..
Let me breathe it all in..
This I promise..
Luscious aromatic
Forever shall linger,
Tantalizing my senses,
Till the end of time..

A thought here another there
My mind a playground of despair
Gloomy dark smitten by fear
How do I change it all and show some care

A soul I know, hiding behind a dark veil
Frail feeble yearning for care
A thought here another there
There is more to my soul,wish I was aware.

Hushed is the night
In a chariot,the gentle moon rides
Elated, in the stillness of the night.

Mesmerised
Are the glittering stars,
Not few,but infinite..

In awe
Of their unison,
Effulgent and content too,
Now, The sky.

Gratified seeing the accord,
I asked,
Will you visit her discreetly tonight?
Her radiance might astound you!
Such is my love's demeanour
Utmost and divine..

She once said,she loved poetry
I said,I'd be your poet
And write my heart out truly
So I looked up the dictionary
But not a word I found
That did justice to her beauty

So I told her words are just words,
In each mind it takes a different colouring.
She understood poetry isn't my cup of tea.
Who cares,when she doesn't mind my poor vocabulary.
I love her and she loves me:)

A being is born when I hear her cry
Brings with it vivid emotions not easy to hide
Heavy my heart grows
The ailing refuses to subside
Alas,
Tender timid, it too cries..

Wish I could hold you by my side
Tell you
How beautiful you look in those teary eyes
Hey darlin' look,
There comes a smile:)

Incessant rain
Incessant rain
Where have you been
Yes,I did bewail
For you left my dreams
Parched and weary
With a losing appetite

Incessant rain
Incessant rain
Why did you lose sight?
Yes, I did bewail
For
You left me thirsty with nowhere to quench.
A Glory,
Only you could bring.

Incessant rain
Incessant rain
But now,
I've learned from your wake
I must learn to be still,
Not whine or wail.
I now contemplate my reasonings
That  once seemed lame.

Let me give my all to you my love..
A moment of happiness,
To beautiful memories to feed us a lifetime,
Who knows,
I may not have you in my next,
And Even If I do,
I Fear,I wouldn't remember any of it from this.

Life is for living, they say.
But,
Pivoted around ego recognition endless ways.
We,
Churn out to be everyone but oneself

In denial untruth
We find a playmate
"Immersed in pretense"
Our loved game,we play.
"Relish" we say in unison,
"A rule"of the game.
Fooled into believing
There is no such thing as "Doomsday"

I want to live
In the depths of my inner being
Remote candid blisfully
Gratified to hear it can accomodate me
Here I come,
Joyous willingly.

Saddened was falsehood behind me
Cursing crying fretting me.
Turning a deaf ear to,I walked unmindfully.

Soon I was in the haven of truth,
Tranquil and festive, the air enveloped me,
Blanketed by love it breathed me.
You're here for a purpose,it whispered
And opened the doors to my loving deity before me.

The night has fallen
Awakened~
The wind
The moon
The leaves
Who is it, that's calling
Not a whisper I hear,
Such is the night,
Appeasing and gratifying..

The night has fallen
Enlivened~
Are the once distant lovers,
Not a word is spoken
Such is their love
Kindled yet docile,
Blessed,
Their unison,
By the faint incense moonlight!

My Heart, in chains..
The heavier it grows
The more, it's restrained

Careful, my little one
Don't you grow fonder
For I fear,
It may be torn asunder..

My heart, in chains
Careful my little one
Not to love any further
For I fear
It would twinge like no other..

I often sit by the window,
Gazing,
At the  limitless sky.
Awaiting,
The weary travelers across space and time.

The warmth of the sun at daytime
And the hues of crimson before bedtime
I thank you both, for the brief sojourn,
And wish you had prolonged your stay.
But,
What good would it bring..
When I'm soaked soddened from inside.

I often sit by the window,
Gazing,
At the  limitless sky.
Awaiting,
The weary travelers across space and time.

A shimmering light
My pursuit ends, they were right
Demons out of my way,what a respite!
Gallant and appalling was my fight
Battered chivarlous, I stand still in this merciless cold night
My head held high, what a heroic sight
Alone I must walk, guided by the flickering light
Hasten I must these limping steps, ere I lose sight
Once feeble winds now awakened, helping me unite
Alone shall my walk be towards the shimmering light

The Rustle of the leaves
Oh!
What immense joy you bring.
You chuckle,
You warble.
Elated,by the touch of your love
Angelic and gratifying

The Rustle of the leaves
Oh!
How beautiful you seem
You blush
You blossom
Nestled in the arms of your love,
Beatific!
On cloud nine


The Rustle of the leaves
Oh!
How majestic you seem
Rhythmic is your dance
Incessant,under the faint fragrant moonlight

Take me somewhere
Into the unknown
Take me afar
And not ashore,
Where time won't come knocking at my door

Timeless and spaceless it shall be
Promise me a life~
Careless and free..

Here comes the night again
Along ride her livid emotions
Ornamenting the starry starry night..

Here comes the night again..
Brings with it your  alluring aroma
When you curl and inch closer
Reminding,
The engaging night would soon fade away.
Desirous are your eyes
Hinting,
Love me like you'll never love anyone else again.

Here it comes again,
From the gleam of the moon
To the chirpiness of the birds at the crack of dawn
I thank you for watching over her
As I lie asleep on her cheek so saporous!
Drinking her sweetness time and again.

The path long and strenuos
My steps falter and ebb

Ailing, my heart is
Hankering to be set free
Lost and battered to the demon in me
A sulky weary being hides
Praying for divinity

I don't know why I do the things I do.
I hear wise men have a sayin'
To everything there is a reason
If only they could help me out
I'd start believing

I walk that deserted road season after season
Is it because we said our goodbyes there in the distance
Or because the ringing of the church bells give me hope for some reason

Well...
I am told wise men have a saying
To everything there is a reason
If only they could help me out I'd start believing
