IFS AND BUTS

Between all the ifs and buts

A single line persists with a single dot

The pause with punctuation mark

As if every thought centred for one spot

But- act as if nothing will hinder without

The essence and fragrance of budding rose

If  says may be one day

But says never will come that day

In between the two contradictions

A jumbled of emotion

Play their role

Mood swings

From hopeful slot to negative gap

Diverting attention to pretend  for a nap

Dreams come, but not soothing

Frightens  with thought provoking

In the moment of cheers

Bleeding heart rejoices with tears

As it reels with feelings

Which dwindles with lots of ifs and buts.

YOUR ESSENCE

In the dim hours of the day

Your sunny entry

Brought the shine

Filled my kingdom

With smile and rhyme

Blushing my earth

With the fragrance of wine

I became intoxicated

Flattered  with your lovely essence

Doused to your  amiable presence

My petals bloomed  to  radiance

Each curve of mine danced

in the melody  of your quintessence

Unconsciously the passionate

tidal waves of my heart started chanting your name

Slowly and slowly ,the sun of sensitiveness

Redden with your flame.

After reaching  the peak of eagerness

Suddenly I became protective and possessive

regarding   your performance.

WAITING FOR YOU!

Why I wait?

Day and night for your knock,

Because ,

As soon as you enter,

My face lit up,

Lips spreads a smile,

Cheeks blush for a while,

My heart beatings race with the strings of clock,

Pain I bore till now evaporates,

I  want you to remain by my side,

I want to share my thousand unspoken words to you,

That I rehearse  ,for hours just for you,

I want to count stars with you,

Because I was waiting   for you,

You came..as usual ,

Unaware of my pangs ,

Didn’t notice my quivering  lips,

Didn’t bother to see my brighten face,

Didn’t  utter a word of love,

That I was waiting to hear so long,

But you know..

My pulse  were uncontrollable  with your fiery breeze,

My heart rates danced with the ragas of classical beats,

I want you to hold for a moment,

To show you,

How I feel ,

How much you captured my dream,

How  you snatched my sleep,

Ah..Nope,

U came and went away like the flashing beam,

Keeping me waiting,

Only for you.
