LOVE FOR GRASS FLOWER  (5)

That gathering clouds of looming sky

Don’t close your door to love

Clumsy corridors of life

Knowing no boundaries

Love grows, relationship grows

The warmth

The fire

Torrents of Passion

An apprehension

Did you run in the rain

Counting raindrops

Laughing

Carrying a bouquet of red rose

Did you take a dip

In the sea water

Did you talk to the flowers

The flute plays a tune

I forgot long back

Grass flower blooms

Speaks of joyous heart…

COME CLOSE

It rains now

The rebel wind and thunder

The lonesome whistle of the train

In the spring’s mist

Under the cloudy sky

The clouds kissed the stars

Our barren hearts in sorrow

Saying goodbye, our silence

Seemed eternal

Something leaving behind

The love we had inside us

Age is just a number you said

The darkness creeps in your eyes

Turns sacred black

We wrote a song

Come close

Goodbye without shedding tears

We know all the answers

Come close

Let us watch the rain

ONE DAY

‘isn’t it thirty years?

Yes, long time!

She holds his hand

It has not lost its luster;

Without any bondage

Mirror tells him, who he is

Looks up at his forehead

‘what are these lines?’

Thirty years

Their cries and their laughter
