OCTOBER SKIES






The classroom is filled up,

People and their muttering retreats,

I sit here in a corner,

Watching and pretending to read,

I close my eyes and think of you.



My heart seems to float up,

In a pretend to find you again...

To fill up the gaps in my moments...

I long to hear your cackling laughter,

In a wish to be a part of your laughter!

MY POSSESSIONS


Everybody is lost in their own world,
Inside me thrives the anxieties of a drunken man,
Sadness has arrived at my doorsteps to engulf my heart
Clouds of distress are hovering around my eyes
And my eyes have got moistened with it.

The road before me looks pathless
It has lost it’s destination and leads nowhere
I am here to walk to my home all alone
The road talks to me in its silence
The road is my only companion in this dark.

The moon is there peeping from the sky,
Whenever I see the moon, it reminds me of my loneliness
Whenever I see it, it brings to my mind
Those lost dreams, lost lives and lost love;
Things that came to my life, just to depart.

While walking in the daylight’s scorching sun
My heart is nothing but a particle of dust
Constantly stamped on by the people passing the road
Sometimes tries to rise but settles on the same place,
The place from where it formed.

My heart finds peace in the deep forests
Where the sun showers it’s long rays-
Filtering through the gaps of the leaves
There, exactly there, my heart rests in the solace of the shade
To find the gentle love of darkness and the brightness.

Near the river bank, my heart murmers with the river
Sings along with the melody of the boatman’s heart
Silences with the sad looking dark mountains
Settles along with the setting sun and
Calms down with the quietness of the night life.

Fazed Dreams


 
                       FAZED DREAMS

 

Is it your voice that I hear in this lonely night?

Was it your voice that woke me up from my sleep?

Was it your gait that keeps me holding on?

Was it your face that I saw today with a half smile?

Was it your absence that makes me sad inside?

Is it your company that I am longing tonight?

Hard to figure out which is more silent- this night or you?

Was it my fault to assume things my own way?

Or was it your pride that took over the sweetness?

Was the oasis a mirage in the desert?

Are you hiding yourself from me beneath your lies?

Are all these my fazed dreams about you and me?

 

 

                                               

                                                

Nights Like This


Nights Like This

 

Sometimes I steal away few moments from my eyes

At nights like this to think of you…

 

I wonder in amazement how your quiet words passes through

My still heart leaving behind this smile on my lips…

 

I never saw you, knew you but still when your thoughts

Crosses my mind at nights like this…

 

I feel myself falling softly towards a beautiful dream world

Where my life starts with you…

 

             

 

 

A Late Night Song


A Late Night Song

 

The moon is shining long and bright tonight,

My days were sullen and exhausting.

Been to places and people…

But now as the night has settled silently

Like dreams on an island…

My mind reflects back to the things

I heard from you…

It doesn’t need a reason

For a beautiful person to be remembered.

Your words are like an anchor

Holds my dreams and beliefs close by.

Just the thought of a future assured

Keeps me going each day…

I have found new ways to walk

Still your words keeps ringing in my ears…

Be back soon as I can’t keep smiling all the time…

A CANDLE INSIDE A DARK ROOM


A CANDLE INSIDE A DARK ROOM

 I lie wide awake
 In a still gaze towards the ceiling
 All around is a murky darkness
And I am thinking of a faraway thought...

 You are the candle burning inside,
You are the light that brightens me,
 You are the warmth lingering around
 And the cornerstone that I am seeking for.

                                My road has been patchy
                                Some days painful, some days delightful!
                                I have been longing to tell you the story
                                From beginning till end of my heart,
                                I have been thinking about you all along.

 Wondering how my life would smile
 If your presence filled the spaces,
 Dreaming how my days would glow up
If it had the chances to catch your glimpses,
 Hoping that you would read my heart
 If my lips forgot the words in your presence.

                                       But the candle melts; that's the truth
                                       You will be there somewhere in a corner,
                                       Sealed, untouched, unseen!
                                       I will meet you again in my thoughts
                                       And with the last flicker of the flame
                                       I realise that, there are tears in my eyes...

Tangled Dreams

It was imperative for me
To get carried away by your smile,
And bogged down by the frowns.
Yesterday moments were transparent,
Today it's stuck and tomorrow's a mystery,
Oh! How I hate mysteries!

My aliveness seems to linger
Around your varied temperaments
Around your unseen faces.

And I see you at the distance
And I am instantly insane
And drunken by the look in your eyes.
Those eyes make me lose my words
Lose my grip from my soul.

And I don't know where I am walking
In the midst of the misty road
Here I am searching to feel
The warmth of your hands...
The touch of your palms...
