A Woman Displayed Her Dismay

(Image Source: http://www.clker.com)

A woman displayed her dismay
As she noticed her hair turning gray.
She bought a dye
To avoid feeling shy
Her black curls brought her back in the fray.

Absent

(Image Source: http://hdwallpaper-s.com)

The presence of absence,
A divine glass of wine,
Forever you would be mine.

That rainy night we met,
As you shivered beside the fire place,
My crazy heart leaped to race.

The glasses broke in silence,
You played the strings of my soul,
Glad to play this passionate role.

An unknown angel descended,
Interrupting the climax of our game,
Your eyes surrendered in shame.

You held his hand with urge,
A response I never anticipated,
My thoughts broken and dejected.

I called you and shouted for you,
The clouds shielding my cry,
Perhaps they were the defenders of your lie.

I sit beside that fireplace,
Counting tearing hours of your absence,
'Cause I couldn't give up on your presence.

Free

The Moon isn't free,

But am going to get it,

And gift it to you.

Soldiers return home,

War over, destruction nods,

Are we free yet?

Free birds laugh and mock,

Look, he resides in a cage,

They ignore his tears.

Are best things in life,

Really free to obtain

The answer confused.

Love, happiness, trust,

Lack monetary value,

But you pay the price.

September Heights done,

My free mind though, asks for more,

Let's try Carpe Diem.

The Broken Fence

(Image Source: http://www.wallpaperpimper.com)

What do you suggest
Shall I replace the broken fence?
The protector of the home
Now tattered
Wooden blood flows from its nostrils
As it pleads for mercy
The hardened sun
The painful rain
Have played their cruel games.

What do you suggest
Shall I replace the broken fence?
Where I once sat
Riding my dreamy battle horse
Catching beetles, and storing them
In bottles of glass, now shattered
Does the past hold a place
Time to move ahead
A good riddance, or a tearful adieu?

What do you suggest
Shall I replace the broken fence?
Hiding behind which I stole those kisses
Hours used to fly as I played
And swayed with silken tresses
The fence now aloof, the memories hidden still
Flowing away in its own misty waves
Lost in the discovery, I learnt my lessons
Here in its shelter, I loved and hated.

What do you still suggest
Shall I replace the broken fence?

The Constant Urge

(Image Source: http://nature.desktopnexus.com)

The Constant Urge
To look behind the wall
Slaves in its chambers
Dark and cold
The eerie silence
Worded by lonesome hearts
Diabolical mask
Shielding the angel
The thoughts carved
Printed on my wounds.

The Constant Urge
To grow up and love
Capturing the time
Visiting heaven and hell
Misunderstood notions
The silken touch, nocturnal
Flying among the clouds
Sprouting wings of hope
The hour glass tumbles
Meandering sand bellows.

The Constant Urge
To live beyond ages
Thoughts of death
Vile and disgusting
Black hood knocks
"I have time," you say
Irrefutable logic
Tragedy or comedy
Be your own guide
To the destination that awaits.

Echo

Do you hear the E-C-H-O
Of the days gone by
The meaningless rambling of the brook
As waves hit the rocky shore.

Do you feel the E-C-H-O
The Heavenly departure conceives
When the Earth lied still in the womb
The Milky Way burning in labor pain.

Do you see the E-C-H-O
Boundaries blurred undefined
Embracing us in a love too deep
Never realized 'twas that shallow.

Do you talk to the E-C-H-O
Futile though it may seem, it still serves
A purpose, unifying the voices in your head
Pay attention, they speak out loud.

The Salacious Chain

(Image Source: http://www.socialjunk.net)

The moment of joy,

The tears when you cry,

Those lips devotedly curled,

Silently waiting to be unfurled,

Rhyming with the word,

You said, and I heard.

CHORUS

Tonight I will sing the best love song,

Strumming on my guitar as you hum along,

Its night of the moon, when stars do rain,

This temptation binding me in your salacious chain.

Void and empty, my heart wandered around,

While crossing the heavens, it was you that I found,

A sight to behold, alienating and approaching,

The fragrance of your magic had me reaching,

Maimed by the arrow, myself I lost,

Glad though I was, for our paths did cross.

CHORUS

Tonight I will sing the best love song,

Strumming on my guitar as you hum along,

Its night of the moon, when stars do rain,

This temptation binding me in your salacious chain.

Salivating in your warmth, my ache grew numb,

The pressure of your touch, made me succumb,

Lips so full, brimming with joy,

It was fun to taste, you acting so coy,

I dwell in my dreams, with you by my side,

Your passion I worship, the shelter where I hide.

CHORUS

Tonight I will sing the best love song,

Strumming on my guitar as you hum along,

Its night of the moon, when stars do rain,

Dream Weavers

Within the silent cobweb of dreams,
Lies the weaver,
Playing with the mind,
Unconscious, unsuspecting,
Flowing in and out,
Swift as a breeze,
But they do have a form,
Though disproportionate,
Bluish blushes everywhere,
Hiding their flaws,
The raw nudity visible,
Through the pores, transparent,
Munching on the apples,
In the God's playground,
As they plan the plot,
A new story unfolds,
The next time you close your eyes,
The Dream Weavers will do pry.

The absence
Of your song
Tuned to my heart
Melodious
Soothing it was
True, it 'was'
Not 'is' anymore
Those long drawn breaths
Flowing through the lips
Our lips
Joined together
Passionately
Divine lust
Vaporizing sedately
Condensing as love
Was this the same
Evaporation - Condensation - Precipitation
I had learnt in school
Perhaps
May be
Doesn't matter now
The clouds rise again
Gloomy and dark
Hiding your voice
My pretty lark.

Once Upon A Time

(Image Source: http://www.valentinewallpapers.in)

Once upon a time,
While savoring the lime,
On a hot sunny day,
I met her on the way.

Sir, I am lost,
A wrong lane perhaps I crossed,
Oh, am already so late,
Please have mercy on my state.

She was beautiful, eyes too pretty,
My heart was lost, and I tried being witty,
No worry ma'am, with Green Speck around,
You don't need to utter a despairing sound.

That's so nice of you, Mr Speck,
But, time is limited, please do check,
New to this land, I got to visit the Center,
A business of mine, that I need to hurriedly enter.

That's not too far, dear,
When I am there, do not fear,
I started my bike, with the lady riding pillion,
So lucky I was, she was one in a million.

Off we rode, challenging the wind,
My mind immersed in her thoughts, totally pinned,
Fragrance of rose filled my world,
The love hiding within, now totally unfurled.

We reached the Center, a busy place it was,
She thanked, and I heard a thousand applause,
Come in with me, she said,
I followed her lead happily, as she walked ahead.

Among the crowds, we solved the maze,
But what I saw, and heard, left me dazed,
Meet my husband, she pointed to a man,
Hey thanks for helping her, he came ahead with a beer can.

A dream broke, 'twas all in vain,
The stupid heart, so terribly insane,
Smiling back,I bid farewell,
Hoping for a perfect love tale.
