I LIVE IN MY KINGDOM OF VERSES  !

In my  kingdom of verses

Words are all jumbled up

One by one I rearrange them in order

Slowly they fall into place.

Tranquility flickers in darkness

Sombre silence waits alone

I tread through the dark alleys of my mind

Emotions lay scattered in large numbers.

Stars twinkle in the sky,

A beautiful tapestry of thoughts is woven around my solitude

My eyes crave for more,

I welcome you to become a part of my existence.

In my kingdom of verses nothing is constant

Flirtatious heart feels restless ,

Wanders through vales and meadows and forests so green,

Seasons come and go with a promise

My soul rises in your divine presence.

WORDS FAIL TO FILL UP THE BLANK SPACES !

Words fail to fill up the blank spaces

Wearied night breathes on my shoulders,

Dreams float all around haphazardly in the dark room

My pillow gets soaked in tears.

I struggle in my conscious innocence to hold on to something

But like sand it slips through my solitude

Lone moon peeps through the curtains

I slowly get used to my quietude.

Words fail to fill up the blank spaces

Heart yearns for your smile,

Love that has no beginning,has no end

Like an endless ocean rises and falls with the tide.

Words fail to fill up the blank spaces

I go numb for a while,

My heart stumbles,

I remain awake in my sleep in your remembrance.

SOULS MEET SMILING THROUGH OUR HEARTS !

In that realm of timelessness nothing is yours nor mine

Like stubborn waves love falls, withdraws and falls again,

Slowly we get drowned in a divine frenzy

I lose my way in your arms.

The cosmic rhythm cripples all conspiracy,

In that realm of timelessness nothing remains yours nor mine

In your eyes I discover myself,

Mystic light pervades through darkness .

Absolute silence surrounds our presence

Souls meet each other smiling through our hearts,

Lips tremble over stumbling words,

Love breathes and everything comes to life like a dream,

All hurdles conquered in that realm of timelessness.
