The journey continues...

Silence...conquering a corner of her heart,
Adamant past, loathing to part.
Yet, the journey continues...

Wispy clouds hovering at a distance over the hills,
Bleeding soul and memories that kills.
Yet, the journey continues...

Heart plummeted at the thought of a smile,
And a nightingale lost its voice for a while.
Yet, the journey continues...

A bubble of pain rose in her chest,
She grinned and pushed it back to rest.
Yet, the journey continues...

Just another me!

I don't know you as you;
I know you as just another me...
I see myself, in your dreamy brown eyes.
I feel myself breathe, in your every single sighs.
I feel the warmth of your love ,even before you smile.
I can sense what you feel, far from a mile.
I can hear your voice and that of your heart.
I know it slices us when we have to stay apart.
I understand every word you speak.
I understand your silence in its peak.
I bleed when I know you are hurt.
I feel your twinge and my tears spurt.
I am not away from you,never ...
I live within you,ever so near ,forever.
I know your arms are my safest shelter.
I know our unique love is like ice that swelter!
I know we are not two different individuals...
I realise,we are the pious of eachother's souls.
I don't love you as you;i love you as just another me...

Sound of a Soul

Yet again! Was this bound to happen? Well that's what life says!
Didn't I foresee this day? Yes, I did; long back in fact!!! Still I held on to it with all my might; unaware of the meaninglessness... Assuming that another individual is my life, that I am living for someone else!
An autopsy of what went wrong is really loathsome, at least at this juncture. I wouldn't want to welter in grief and self pity, coz I have grown strong with time.

Lately, I realized that I have created a glass-misty fence around my mind, an invisible one. This was not built overnight; it was made layer by layer. Escalating distance and separation came as a boon of wisdom with every added layer. This doesn't obscure my vision; I still see many hearts smiling to themselves. Speaking to the breeze and listening to the whispers of the mute ally. But this murky fence has made me invisible to rest of the world. I have no grumble about it, for that was the underlying intention. I heard strange knocks on my glass fence in my dreams. Many a times I felt that the thud on my hazy glass fence sounded familiar. As if somebody from an unknown land, someone who knew that I existed was trying to reach out to me! But now that I am wise enough; I ignored those faint knocks.

After years, when I woke up from a deep siesta, I saw my glass fence wrecked at a corner. I walked up to take a closer look at the damage, I stood amazed. As I drew a finger alongside the damaged glass, my scrutinizing eyes found stains of blood frozen on the cold glass and an almost fading off palm impression below. A strange ache stirred deep in my gut, after years, I realized I am alive!The thought of that untiring effort of a soul to reach out to me, tore me. I felt my heart drumming wildly in my chest. A silent tear trickled down my cheek; did I still smile through that tear?

Inspite of consciously ignoring this silent presence, deep within my soul didn't I know? Of course, I did! Just before another tear could leave my eyes, there came Sunshine, peering through the misty fence; making way to reach me through the broken glass! The tender warmth of Sunshine bringing life back to me and I stand arms wide open to embrace life, for a fresh beginning!!!

Eyes…
Those lovely black eyes,
A trigger to that intense hidden passion
A tribute to the creator of a masterpiece,
The masterpiece those loving eyes were…

Eyes…
Those lovely black eyes,
A darkness contrary to darkness itself,
A poet’s inspiration,
A tribute to his aspiration of love…

Eyes…
Those lovely black eyes,
Oh! A prelude to that invaluable blush,
That shying face,
Those fluttering eyelids…
Just completing your life… Like you never knew of…

Angel Replied:

A life time wouldn’t suffice to express how much we love each other...
But the beauty is that we don’t need words!
And we live a million lives in every single second together.

Time

(Dedicated with love to all parents, especially fathers)

Sometimes, it is quite essential that we take a break from the busy work schedule and robotic life. Taking a break doesn’t really mean a short vacation at your favorite hill station, where sleep is absolute bliss! At times life wakes you up from long slumber to gift you precious moments… Spend some quality TIME with your loved ones; for whom you really haven’t devoted much TIME over years…

You bet, we all give at least some amount of TIME to our spouse, children and friends. Sometimes as a responsibility or may be because of the fear of losing them! While our life oscillates between responsibility and fear, many of us have conveniently avoided/ignored those wonderful blessings called PARENTS. Because, when it comes to parents, most of us don’t have the fear of losing them if we don’t devote TIME to them, or may be the responsibility meter dips down. We take them for granted, for we are sure, they will always be there for us. Don’t be surprised if UNCONDITIONAL LOVE doesn’t exist anymore. We don’t have the TIME to VALUE such relationships… Startling fact!!!

Well, came as an awakening to me last summer, when I was with my dad. Dad, my pillar of strength, my biggest inspiration is a busy business man; enthusiastic and energetic even at 60 plus (touch wood). He leaves for work before I wake up; hence it was during evenings we use to spend time together. That evening as usual when dad was back from work, I was waiting for him in the lawn. That’s how I have always been; ever since my childhood.

We set out on a walk that evening all the way to our farmhouse. He appeared to be unusually tensed and lost in some thoughts. The usual defensive statement, “Nothing at all, business chaos you see” was the first answer I got when I asked him for the reason of worry. I just looked at him in his eyes and then, it was a totally different sequence. It was kind of a role reversal. There was a lot more than humungous pressure and stress that’s camouflaged by the term “Work tension”. I saw tears of happiness in my dad’s eyes when he uttered these words after a long conversation, “Daughter, you are the music of my every evening”

Your “TIME” is the best gift you can give to your loved ones. Let this precious gift be given wholeheartedly and may it not be limited to occasions. A bright smile, a word of care, a tender touch…little things makes a beautiful difference. And when these little things are well knitted with thread of LOVE and wrapped in TIME, it becomes a marvelous moment…a moment worth cherishing for a life time…

Angel…You are…
The epitome of beauty
The symbol of chastity
The mascot to all smiles
The mischief hidden in a naughty kid’s eyes
The sunrise killing the darkest night
The cool breeze over calm waters
The fire in the Artic
The colour to blind eyes
The last breath to a perishing life
The touch of love
The music of my heartbeat
The kiss of youth
The flavor to inspiration
The inspiration to madness
My Everything………………………

Angel replied:

I love you and I love everything about you…
And I love you so much that I am so selfish about you!
I love your eyes… When I look into your dreamy brown eyes,
I wish I would drown in its depths!
I love your voice… Oh I love your voice when you call my name,
I lose myself in the symphony of your voice when you sing for me,
I wish I could kiss your voice!
I love your smile… Oh your smile that takes my breath away…
I wish I could clasp your lively smile in my palm…
So that whenever I cry and open my palm to wipe my tears,
I would see your smile and my tears would just disappear!

I don't miss you!!!

(Dedicated with Love to a long lost pal)

With every single drizzle,
When the rain drops sizzle,
I don’t miss you…

With every cool breeze,
When there is a lovely haze,
I don’t miss you…

When “Sunshine” is bright,
When there is day full of light,
I don’t miss you…

When nostalgia knocks,
When memory chokes,
I don’t miss you…

‘Coz, I carry you in my heart,
I can never let you part.
You are never dead,
You are never out of my head...
I carry your love with me
Forever this way it be.

You still smile, live and dream in me, as a part of me.
I don’t miss you…
You will live, as long as I breathe...
I just don’t miss you!!!
