MY LOVE

(These lines have been written with an idea in mind that is against the existing conventions-here, I have treated the Earth as a mighty man and the subjective element 'I' is not the personal me; but a man)

My Love
Uninvited, her Knock I heard
In a time not so weird,
when in my room alone I sat
waiting for her tat.
At my pane,in a rhythm so wild,
she danced like a child
coaxing me to join her;
But all I could was to spend a tear.

Impatient I sat in my chair
bound by infirmities of a life,unfair.
For my heart wept uneasily
unable to merge in thee,freely.

Yet thou flee from me,
taking with thee,my dreams and glee,
to where you belong,dear friend
The Earth,with no end.

From a distant land you traversed,
Darting to kiss thy Lord;
But in a mile somwhere,unknown
were robbed of your chastity,once worn;
Never neglected,still thou art respected
For the earth welcomes thou
with its chest open,now,
where you unite in love:
In thy greatness, O Earth ! I bow.

And to thee my love,I say
Deserve thee not ,I may
Thou belong to a man more mighty
Yet I would say,the million times I pray
I love thou,my dear rain,a plenty.

Only If I Could

The smile on her face was still the same, as I had seen her on my 7 th birthday.   But the red lipstick had lost its glow and the fair skin looked a bit tanned. It was not the red glowing sun that had baked her brown as she had been indoors for more than a dozen years. It was the dust and years of negligence. I had once shared my childhood with her. The red saree with its golden spots carefully spun had given bright colours to my dreams I had woven on yarns of childhood games. She looked like a bride in her bright red saree celebrating life with golden bangles, tingling the bell of festivity. She smelt of jasmine.           Now, her beauty is a blurred reflection of the past. The bangles are broken and red saree has faded. She now smells of kerosene that I had once accidentally spilled on her. Her smile did not elicit a smile from me. But I was tempted to pick her up from my closet. There she lay for seventeen years, uncared and...

Burnt..

But if I let u go.. I'll never know what my life would be holding you close to me Will I ever see you smiling back at me How will I know?.... The song slowly consumed the inner recess of a soul that tried to hide its tears from the world around.The lounge was full of people but Miriam sat in a corner as if to shun the world from her gaze. Miriam stirred and stirred the tea.The vapours made mystical images above the hot cup of tea.Her memories,desires and thoughts fumed itself into the vapours.The spoon clinked and clanked as if to remind of jingles once sung. The tea bag lay on the saucer. Squeezed,Discoloured. Tears dropped in a rhytmical fashion..one,two,three and a sudden flow. Tissues could absorb the tears.But the pain..the burn..the scorched heart.. Her tears burnt her. She dropped the spoon and took the cup in her hands. She did not wait to sip her tea slowly. Just a gulp. Hot,piping hot tea.. " Oh ! my tongue..throat.." Two more tears flowed down her cheeks..

Red signal

The light turned red.From a distant land,shot into reality,Sam applied the brakes.The black Scorpio's tyres screeched.Friction held it back.The dark lanky traffic police looked uncomfortable with a 'who the hell man' look.Sam took a deep breath. "I have no regrets.why should I?",Sam kept on telling himself.He searched his pockets for a cigarette and got one.He lighted it and took a puff.He felt a wave of relaxation soothening his tired muscles. The light turned green.Feet on accelerator.20..40..60...80km/hr..The Scorpio zoomed.Straight roads lay ahead.No traffic to bother him much.But just one thought.Should he go back?Should he appologize?Should he seek one more chance?He pressed harder. Chances come hard.She is leaving. "Amy is leaving the town."The accelerator almost kissed the metal. "Amy is leaving." The memories of Amy,once a force behind his being, was a 'parasite' feeding his thoughts. "We have parted.Now why should I bothe...
