Chagrined

When you left, you took more
Than what you thought;
It was not just my love
But all my love and my peace too
Why did you have to go?
Were our steps never in rhyme
Were my eyes too high, my step too slow?
And now that you are not here
I look for you in the women i meet,
Verily they disappoint, [...]

Reflections

I look for a reflection of the past in them,
An affirmation of my pain.
A disclaimer that i am not alone
That many before me went through it
And many more will have their own scars.
I look for these reflections in words and images.
In stories of misery, in poems of glory.
In the rain, forests, hills and the ride…
In [...]

He/She

He not deserve
She not deserve
He hurt
She disturbed
He love
She love
He….
She….
They have a problem.
A ballad of love in child-verse.

To Her

The flowers have turned
The bees seem lost
The scent but remains the same
You think the love is lost, I think not.

Spring

And so the journey starts again
To search for a place
Where i can rest again
Where the road shall wind forever
In some valley that I can
Never come out of.

Remembering

The first rains of the season
Lashed the city today
Drenched and soaking
Immersed in the song of longing
My thoughts once again turned your way
Much as they for aeons have done
I remembered that day
You clutching that solitary rose
Like a lifeline, even as you slumbered
Blissfully wrapped around in my arms
That sob that just stopped
From voicing its desperation
That hug, those [...]

Balance

You lose your balance;
You give over to rage:
You want satisfaction,
But you look for it in vain.
Mistakes that hurt, mistakes that you make;
You wouldn’t know till its too late.
In the end you reach enlightenment
But the harm is done, you can only remake.

Dreary

Ah! My dear. What a dreary life.
Misery, sorrow and strife;
A bomb exploded there,
Work is pending -
A lover pines somewhere.

Forbidden Fruit

I have tasted you, forbidden fruit.
Strolled around the Secret Garden:
Lost in the abundant vista, sweet relief;
The ring of fire surrounds me,
Torments me – Oh! those crazy dreams.
Dream stalker, stalk me no more.
Dream walker, in day light come to my warmth;
Come to me in a sweet supple embrace:
Engulf me in your fire and
Quench the burning thirst [...]

Sinner

You are my pleasure
The cause of my sin;
Your presence I treasure
May it be an everlasting sin!
