Stars shine in her eyes
Yearning to live a life
Firm in mind to fall in place
either illusional or real..
Sans  letting life to leave
No less than a reconquer
Of the lost glee  .
She  dreamt..
Of umpteen pictures with songs
Unique  song of silence  said it all....
Backing her dreams i stood singing  my own song of silence...!!

Like fish out of water
I gasp  for a bit of breath
Wriggling left  and right
I end up waking straight
As some voice from invisible self
Seem to pierce my inner soul
In the deep dense night
Of intense silence..
Surrounding darkness sends a shiver
Along the rhythm of talk I hear...
But from where??
An echo from heart..??
Or a babble of soul??

Mind and heart
float in harmony
along with thoughts
comforting  a feel  
of your presence ...
but, never quite often felt
is  the hold on hand..
that gives a vibe
of being cared…..

Accompanying  each other
complimenting one another
walking  uphill and down hither
Taking twists and turns thither
at every nook and corners  together
a journey  without a  bother
for years down altogether..
Still on ways smoother
Than any feel of smother
With no bubbles  of  frother
But as real like a  soother..
With all imperfections like any other
For our friendship is like no other
Cheers to you , my friend forever...!!

Violent waterfalls in the
wilderness of vast greenery
Showered on her the
chillness of heavenly drops..
In the taste of  her favourite strawberry....
With alluring scent of red roses..
Sending  vibes  of happiness..
Across her spines..
driving her into her own world..
of dreams and fantasies.....
And the waterfalls continued
It's magical silvery smile!!

Endless circles of act,
one after another
Without a thought
or a re-thought
Just got to  get wasted..
the spirals of knowledge
acquired with pain, lying
Un awakened... Unused!!
And there's  neither a sign
nor a signature ....
Of my existence....
so long.....so painfully !!

Under the shade of greens
Gentle breeze
Along the trees
Turns pages of book
That has my mind on it.. !!
By my side, the sparrows
Walk on wall much alike jump
And then fly so lively
Leaving in me a thought...
And a  wish. ...
If I could fly.....!!

Some facts
I know are true ..
And that's understood
To the core ...
Still
there's an anxiety
Between certainty and  illusion
Like dream and reality
And in between I live
My life ....!!

Shimmering sharp words
Slit my throat deep
Aiding bleed profusely…
While your words dazzled 
Like a sword..
Viciously laughing at the fallen me…!!

the noisy outbursts
Like a sort of tantrum
of all words quite lucid
on anchoring at shore
than setting a sail across  
the globe....
tends sleeplessness..
And the wakened dream
takes  to depths of water
Layered in layers
In search of peace within
and to behold the beauty
of the unseen world
always dreamt….!!

Bordeaux bottle
Glittered  like  emerald
While the dark red wine
Smiled through the glasses..
Of a  classy store's window .....
And the beaming smile
Of beautiful wine said  it all.....!!
My mind too ....
returned a gracious smile....
But I moved on....
Window seat journey..
Drizzling rain..
Chill weather.. ..
Memories....!!

Vast greyish orange sky
Wore a festive look..
As moon and stars
Bejeweled in gold..
Illumined in dark...!!
birds danced their way home...
While evening wind..
Slightly unfurled the fragrance
across the horizon...
And there the sun set down..
For a night's slumber!!

Drops of  tears
Moved down her chin
But the brightness
In her eyes..
Indicated...
She's not perturbed..
rather firm for way forward....!!
And then the smiles
A smile of sweet revenge..
And a sign of determination..
to keep away at bay the
recrudescence of any pain...
and she stepped ahead
With hope ....!!

No curbs
No obstacles
but only crystalline path
I feel, i find and i see
for a breakthrough
in my landing spot
lending me voice
to sing accolades
Of unseen Power
For the perfect timing
Of all lovely miracles...!!

Drizzling rain
Aims for umpteen smooches
On her fairy face..
And she too plays
hide and seek
With the naughty rain...,,!!

Fierce attitude
To be an achiever
So as to hold  the
trophy in hand
High upto sky...
And so  toasted
the efforts...
But then realised
hopes had holes
As I stood still
At where it started !!!

Shimmering sharp sword
Slit my throat deep
Aiding bleed profusely…
While your words dazzled  bright
Viciously laughing at the fallen me…

Like a lonely tree  
I feel I stand ....
At times tossing  head
to either sides...
Just to know if it's you
Who's passing by my side ....!!

Moon in the morns
stars with their stares
Keep themselves mum
With the rise of  day's sun !!

Walking by the woods
Had view of tiny flowering buds
That bloomed on the sideways
As a  beauty in sight by all ways.!!
Walking with a smile
In an inimitable own style
With a talk to others for a while
Gets to step on an extra mile !!
Little moments of enjoyment
Gives a sense of fulfillment..
As there's no retirement..
For these tiny amusements !!

-Kavitha Prabhakaran

Petals of  dried flower  
Lay fallen dry and dull ...
Happy fragrance sent around
On glorious colourful days
Fades from memory..
As  songs loses its words
And words loses its music...
And trying to hear the unsung song
I feel fallen....
With no glorious past
Or colourful future!!

Nostrils clash gifting breathlessness...
Twists and turns lends sleeplessness....
Though on cosy comforts for a
peaceful slumber ....!!
And then ..
Interference of inhalers and steams
Aid in clearing war within nasal base
And  a feeling of relief  surrounds..
Though it's a bit away from feeling afresh !!

Distance between you and me
Distanced words from me
Though rainbows shine
Bright in the heart
With every colour of it
reminding you...
In the broad void mind !!

Lingering taste
Of treasured memories
Awakens soul
from tending deep  falls
keeping me on track
with all other thoughts
set aside…..

Whole of me is devoted to you
much like a doll
dancing to your moves...
Cheerfully smiling through
Though bleeding deep within....
In the wait for a scent of you
least from far....
For me to stay alive !!

Chillness pierces  my skin
Through every cell it touches
Yet I move along the path
Pulled by the dreams to move...
As lights shimmer to music
Of playful autumn breeze
And darkness of  night ,
darker again....
Yet...I move along....
To unknown reach.....
A destination so uncertain
Still I need to reach!!

Standing on  top of the world
Shouting from bottom of the heart
Holding you tight to the core
Beyond which impossible for more
To  show world that’s deaf and blind
Of how much I adore  you…..
Be aware,  on your hold
Swings my life, either
to shine like a lively star atop
Or fall like a burnt charcoal dead
deep down !!

My eyes yearn to see you
And I yearn to see my eyes
With you within it...

A fly so...
Silly on it's own
With no dreams
And nil  hopes
Flew around
Careless.....
Until caught in
web spun around
By your smile....!!

Between  prayers and tears
Is heard the whispers
uttered in tune so low ..
by melancholic mind...
Understood by none
than the resident there.....

Drops of worries falling on me
sink me sick quite often
As the burden weigh unbearable !!
Pooling courage to wage a war
Make up to stand over agitation
firm confidence held high in self
threw away the fears....
letting to vanish from sight..!!
take a chance and try....
Until with colours you fly!!

Umpteen reasons behind the silence
Yet gets silenced time and again..
crossing fountains of fudges
borne enough in abundance...
As mind fancies your image..
With accompanying twists of dance
to tunes of beats the breeze delivers
from the  far end of world...
Proving again.....egolessness
in the care for the soul it adores !!

-kavitha prabhakaran

Shielded me  from the scorching heat
Giving warmth in the smoky winter
Held me  steady in the turbulent storms
By the ways you held me tight ..
At the home I have found ...
In the middle of your heart . ....!!

You are at times the sun
Shining white yet burning like fire
And at other, your are the moon
Glittering like gold and smiling cool...
It's been a miracle for me
To watch you every day
Though miles and miles away
Creating the magic of day
And night in my life !!

Bruises deep inside
And scars in prominence
Of inexpressible pain
With words struck within throat
Needs a rhyme of care
And a smile of words
to heal me ....from within!!

In the dazzling darkness of  serene night
tiny stars shut their twinkling eyes
Moon  clad in gorgeous golden glow
Pose in an alluring smile
In the warm thoughts of togetherness
On sun's arrival after a night's break !!

Blossoming sunlight springs in shyness
with moon disappearing silently
hiding from the vibrant view of burning sun
blush and hide is accustomed
to growing love for each other every day..
Though
Never destined to be together ever
Like me and you forever...!!??

Inborn talents suppressed deep
Under the layers of cornerstone
With feelings of repression
Flowing like river of red all through
Fighting wars within self
And conceding defeat everyday
As barter for harmony to surround !!
Yet ..
At time that's so perfect...
The Mighty's hand extends
To nurture concealed skills
letting the soul sing a song of joy
And float on the flow of life
To destination satisfaction!!

Missing you hurts my heart
sending emotions hard to find
As words hide themselves
Deep inside refusing to talk
Silencing the scene....
Yet
Eyes speak the concealed words
In the flow of tears that
falls in designs of letters
Framing your name
Making it shine as crystals !!

Somewhere...
Among the woods of  lofty thoughts
In the charms of your lush green love
Beats of my heart loses its rhythm
Struggling  hard to find it's path
Of missed beats and lost ways...
In your dreams !!

Down through corridors
And lanes of memories
Goes my mind on solo walk
Pricking heart letting tears roll
Remembering moments of pain
so long ago yet so painful still...
Yearning for an early fade
From thoughts and memories !!
Twinkling eyes lends a glow to smile
Rejoicing sweetness of moments
Wish it had lasted forever..
Mind craves for a magical wand
to reverse few moments
That happened otherway...
To cherish again. ...
On my walks through
Corridors of memories!!

With a shattering smile
You left me in exile
And for you it's been an art
Knowing well it breaks my heart
As into tens of thousand pieces  
Until my breath ceases!!
  
Broken pieces of my heart
That lay scattered as a piece of art
Healed by itself in your thoughts
In a venge to rise against odds in lots
From the floors of time to face
Everything of anything with grace!!

Your choice to leave me forever
Is no more for me a nightmare
As my lone broken heart
Is gutsy enough to face our ways apart
With boldness of ten thousand hearts
Accepting ... somethings... can never be bought!!

While water boiled in the sauce pan
I viewed through the window panes
At the  rains falling in arrogance
And  the Earth bearing it in silence ...!!

Green trees around enjoyed the shower..
As tiny birds onto nests, themselves retired !!
Taste buds yearned for a hot cup of tea
With spices added in plenty....!!

The noisy furious  wind blew ..
Spicing up the monsoon woes !!

I chased and Chased my dream
Until it came true..
But
For someone...!!
And You still remain my dream

crawl with my words
As a breast crawl of newborn infant
To taste the nectar a poetry holds
When it blooms as an alluring flower...!!
Then there might be few flaws
But with words no fails and falls  !!

Through her two twinkling eyes
I see tens and thousands of rays
With brightness of  million suns
Reflecting the zillion dreams
Flowering in her lone
broad dazzling mind…

She Stood firm on her roots
tossing head to blowing breeze
Boldly bearing scorching furious heat
And Joyfully embracing the chills
flowing under her heels...
She endured her life each day
To the tunes of nature's choice..
And petal by petals she blossomed
As an angelic wild flower
Of grace and power...
Smiling lucidly to the world around..
Still standing  firm on her roots...!!

Curled  on bed
Head to heels round
Views silver gaze of rising sun
In sparkling window pane
Understanding the rhymes
Of morning rooster's chimes
Awakened spirit of body and soul
Begins afresh the day
Healing wounds of yesterday !!

Sky in blue
Sent vibes of love
To beautiful boungainvilleas....
And they blushed in pink
Singing songs of joy....
Heard even at distant far !!

Rising sun
Shining moon
Glittering stars
I see you
In all....

Your clouded mind
Showered on me
Rains of pain !!

Now I see  clearly
Where I stand.. !!
