Shalini Ray Dec 2013
Are you here ?
Stepping on the fallen autumn leaves with your worn out leather boots
Smoke rising from your lips which entangle themselves in your hair
And then free themselves in one stroke like the paintings you paint
Or the songs you hum and cassettes you buy
They remind me of us,those cassettes
The world does not see how beautiful they are but you do
So you play them on rewind, like those mornings where we hold each other
Maybe too closely,in bed cause we are afraid of what it will be like
If we fall apart
Slipping on broken glass
On that old dial- phone that you refuse to throw
Oh I love to hear you voice,and your silence
Your breath drawing me to a close proximity of what peace would feel like
And then you smile cause you know
And yes,you love me so
Any suggestions for the title?

A street dog chases a car he cannot catch
The street lamp illuminates an empty road
Washed by toxic gas breathers
Cigarettes and car smoke
Shalini Ray Dec 2013
I am specks of light
Memories that will soon be forgotten
Unfinished paintings on rough canvases
I am mismatched words
And saved texts
Almost sent,but never will be
You will find me
In those tears which were held back
Those pieces of shattered glass
Edges of rooftops of a  secluded skyscraper
In graffitis less rebellious than others
In cuts which don't yet touch the vein
I am unspoken words
And cigarette smoke
Whispers in the wind
That silent scream at Midnight's stroke
Well I don't know what to name this poem,Indescribable or Unfinished?
Shalini Ray Dec 2013
You cast me down
Naked
From your heaven
Fallen
Through the skies I fell
I
Who you once called beautiful
I
Who you once called wise
Breaking
All the bonds that had tied me
Taking
All that you denied me
Now
You call me a liar!
Now
You throw me off your side?!
Defy
I shall rise again
Till the light has gone blind
And your earth spins out of side
And one day those who call you true
Shall see me rise above you
Shalini Ray Dec 2013
Elastic body
Stretched soul
Broken wings
Earthly ties
She falls
Again tonight
Spilling alcohol
On her lies
Shalini Ray Dec 2013
A warrior of light
A fallen angel
Rivetted together
Is my soul bleeding
Or has someone
Shot a bullet at my mirror
Shalini Ray Dec 2013
Softly we tremble in the light
walking side by side
Conversing in whispers and murmers tonight
We breathe slowly
We cry
Reaching for each other's hands
We sigh
Darkness falls on the angels tonight
Wings tear,we spin out of sight
Our heads are joined
We breathe feeble warnings
One kiss,my darling sweetheart there shall be no morning
