PERSPECTIVE

On a winged chariot I moved

Floating with music, sweet but unheard

Besotted by soft lucid articulations

flowed from your lips

Sailed in a realm like heaven

Hopped merrily in a golden cage

Bathed in your fragrance

But truth unfurled vigorously

Like scorching rays of sun

Your articulations were soliloquies only

For moments ephemeral

Misinterpreted by me as verse of love

A soliloquy needs no listener !

A soliloquy needs no listener !

Ripples of dreams vanished in tranquility

Some placid moments passed

Woke me out of a fancied snooze

A vision is a perspective only

Not the whole truth

But still lingers in silent moments

Unseen...unheard..untouched

A SKY FOR ME

The dream that peeps in my eyelids

Extends to my heart

Spreading its roots all over

My soul and body

Now the wish is to cherish

The dream forever

And  the night too

Be it moonlight or no moon

A sky is there for me

Whenever I look up

It walks along with me

Hand in hand

For it buries my pains

In its magnitude

Holding me in deep embrace

The sky brightens me

Warms up my frigid passions

Sometimes drenches me

With a shower of love

At nights it puts on me

A gown embellished with

Twinkling stars

Makes me aromatic

Like a Night Queen in moonlight

In the depth of night

Soul harmonises with

Sweet ecstatic melody

Colour of love paints my empty canvas

Now loneliness can't make me alone

Loneliness and  emptiness disappears

Like sculptures on sand

In such blissful ecstasy

Heart pines only for a wish

For an immortal death

That can transform me

Into a fairy

Drifting amidst the fleecy clouds

Swaying and kissing the waves

Enjoying trance

Fear of losing the sky is no more

With me...

AS YOU WALKED AWAY

As you walked away from me

I heard a cry

As if something shattered..

I looked at myself

It was the falling of a forlorn dream

That slipped away from my hands

Unknowingly..

Then a truth unveils its face

If dreams keep me awake

While you are with me

Better let me be alone

So that I can enjoy full  sleep

But alike cage  birds

I was fastened to an obdurate tie

Of hopes and aspirations..

Another truth comes forth

As humans , we are hurt by desires

But driven too by desires..
