I LOVE YOU...

"I LOVE YOU"... these words get trapped in my lips when I see you.

When I look into your eyes, I find my entire world in them.
And all that comes to my mind is that, "I LOVE YOU".
When you smile at me, the innocence of it weakens my breath.
And all I feel is that, I LOVE YOU.
The way you tenderly touch my hands, leaves a shiver down my body.
And my mind cries out aloud, "I LOVE YOU".
My heart skips a beat when your lips softly utter my name.
And my heartbeats just say, "I LOVE YOU".

"I LOVE YOU"... so many times my eyes have tried to express these words.
But I wonder why I could never speak them out.
When you take your eyes off me, my lips silently utter them.
And when you look at me again, my face becomes expressionless like a mannequin.
But a voice deep within me calls out your name and screams..."I LOVE YOU".

A MIDNIGHT DREAM...

As the blue night falls,
I wait for you,
As you tiptoe into my room,
And slowly sit by my side,
you look into my eyes,
And softly keep your hands on mine,
I bury my face in your chest,
And you softly kiss my forehead,
Your touch takes away,
All the pain the world has given me,
You caress my hair,
And whisper into my ears,
Your breath takes away,
All my loneliness,
You take the rolling drop of my tear,
On your fingertips,
And touch my eyes with your lips,
The warmth of your arms around me,
Take all the worldly agony,
In my dreams you are mine forever,
But in my life, you are just a midnight dream.

THE LAST KISS....

She was sitting beside him with his hands wrapped around her. They were by the side of the sea. This is where they had first met. And here they were again, but today for the last time ever. They would never meet again, they would never see each other for the rest of their lives.

He was looking at her. Hers was the most beautiful face he had ever seen. Her eyes so deep, were envious even to the depth of the sea. The color of her lips embarassed even the setting sun. The wind was playing with her silky locks bringing ot over her face again and again. And he was tucking it behind her ears. He had always loved to do it.

Her mood was lost somewhere in the distant red horizon. Her fingers were tangled with his. "In few minutes the sun will set", she thought, "and darkness will engulf the world". She looked at him. His blue eyes were looking ever more blue in this blue evening. She would get herself lost for hours in them. But after this day she would never see them again. None of them uttered a word. But their eyes exchanged endless emotions. Tears rolled down her cheeks. He had wiped her tears so many times before when she had cried for stupid reasons or over silly fights. But today he let them flow.

He then cupped her face between his hands and his lips touched hers. Their lips remained locked for thirty long minutes, which were the shortest thirty minutes of their lives. The sun had set leaving a faint trail of redness in the western horizon. It was time for him to leave, leave forever.

He looked deep into her eyes. "Our story is not over", he said, "We will physically part. But our souls will always remain connected. We will remain connected through the earth, through the sun. through the moon and the stars. Wherever we are, with whoever we are, we will be connected through our mind and our heart. We will exist in each others loneliness, each others silence and each others secret tears. We will exist in each others dreams. Situation demands our separation but time will bring us back together; if not in this birth then in next birth. Every birth we will meet and part till a life comes when we will die in each others arms. Wait for me. I will come back to you."

He gave his last kiss on her forehead and walked away. And she kept standing there, staring at him till he disappeared.

Just then the last trail of daylight got wiped off from the western sky.

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.

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?
