IN THE FIRST RAINS..........


That was an evening of the first rains;
I was walking along the long hazy road
by your side
My fingers tangled with yours,
My head on your shoulder,
your lips caressing my hair.
The red shawl wrapped around both us
barely preventing us from getting drenched
Your body pressed against mine, all wet
yet the warmth of your body
fighting against the cruel monsoon winds
to defend me from its gelidity;
As fought the prince, from the old fairy tale
against the cruel witch,
to protect the princess
The showers of bliss pouring from above
as if trying to quench the fire
of our burning heart
But still it could not stop your wet lips
from touching mine
for the first time
Oh! what a moment of ecstasy it was!
when our lips locked each other.

That first touch of your lips
in that evening of the first rains
is the last reminiscence of our togetherness
.

A DRY ROSE IN MY DIARY...



A single rose
nestled amonst the pages of my diary
dried petals and faded color
still smells of February
still bears your touch
stlll has your memory
merges with the words
and narrates a lost story

MY LOUD SILENCE....


Why do I still see your face
when I close my eyes?
Why do I still pine for you
in the long lonely nights?

When the moon rises in the sky
and peeps from behind the tree,
Why does my heart cry for you
with you I want to be?

When I walk down the long road
why your footsteps I hear?
I turn back with a hope
and why you dissappear?

When the western wind blows
why still your smell I get?
Why do I wake up at nights
and find my pillow wet?

Why do you still elude me
in my sad midnight dreams?
"I miss you my dear love"
why still my smashed heart screams?

Why I wrap my hand round 'self
and crave for your warmth?
Why my mind still misleads me
saying one day you will come?

When my one hand holds the other
as it cannot hold yours,

And when my trembling lips call you
Why my heart aches and sores?

Days have gone and years have passed
still why I feel so alone?
Yet for your unfaithful love
why still I cry and moan?

I WISH....


I wish to travel back in time;
And wipe off all the tears I have given you

I wish to travel back in time;
And undo every deed that hurt you

I wish to travel back in time;
And erase every mistake of mine

I wish to travel back in time;
And destroy every moment I have lied

I wish to travel back in time;
And take away all the pain I gave you

I wish to travel back in time;
And reverse every word that has stabbed you

I wish to travel back in time;
And make you smile everyday

I wish to travel back in time;
And make you feel special in everyway

I wish to tavel back in time;
And take you in my arms whenever you needed me

I wish to travel back in time;
And kiss your feet for the love you have given me

I wish to travel back in time
And relive my life with you again

I wish to travel back in time;
And make you believe in love again

DREAMS OF AN EVE....


Oh "you".........my unknown love
I search for "you"
in this vast world
Everywhere.........
Amongst the known faces
Amongst the unknown crowd
I dont find "you"
But I know you are there
Somewhere in this world
Thinking of me
As i think of "you"......

I dont know your face
I dont know your name
But i know "you" exist
Coz I have heard your voice
in the deep quiet nights
I have seen your shadow
in my midnight dreams
And i know you are there
Dreaming of me
As I dream of "you" .......

The western wind brings me your scent
And silence speaks your words
"Where are "you""? my heart calls
"You" dont reply,"you" dont come
But I know you are there
Searching for me
As I search for "you".......

I have cried to "you" in my saddest times
And thought of "you" in the deepest moments
When the moon shines bright in the sky
I try to see your face
And wonder if your also doing the same
I dont know where "you" are
But I know you are somewhere
Waiting for me
As I wait for "you"

Come to me oh! my "you"
Come and take me in your arms
Hide me from the world
As the clouds hides the moon
Take me with "you"
To where we belong
And I will spend my life
loving "you".......

I wait for "you" oh my love
In this empty world
Lonely in the crowd
Sad amongst the happy faces
I wait for "you"
And I will wait
Forever............

I WONDER



You left my hand and walked away
And I stood there
Watching you go
Wondering what wrong I had done

You didnot turn
You didnot look back
And I stood there
I wanted to cry
I wanted to shout
I wanted to stop you
But I just stood still
Wondering what wrong I had done

My heart ached of utmost pain
When memories haunted me
My mind filled with deepest sorrow
As I stood there
Watching you go
And wondering what wrong I had done

Unanswered questions flooded my mind
And unfulfilled promises mocked at me
Incomplete dreams pricked mt eyes
When I stood there
Wondering what wrong I had done

Days have gone and years have passed
But memories did not fade
I still remember you
Every night and day
Silent tears continue to flow
I go back to the same place
And stand there for hours
Still wondering what wrong I had done
