ANOTHER EVENING WITHOUT YOU...

Another bereaved evening just passes by.
The clouds in the sky are on a journey towards some unknown destination. The bright, reddish moon playing hide and seek behind the veil of the wretched clouds like a shy new bride. The noise of the world slowly fading into the silence of the night.
The wind caressing me and playing with my hair, trying to distract me as I close my eyes and try to feel the face that eludes me in midnight dreams.
The leaves of the trees whispering the unspoken story of a perennial love of the departed souls into my ears, as the wind passes through them.
A lonely evening star peeping from behind the clouds and eyeing me, as i sit here thinking of you.
Some unknown flower fills the air with with magical fragnance, as if trying to send some secret message to the night fairy. At a distance some night bird crying aloud as if trying to beckon its lost flame.

Yet another lonely evening thus getting over, leaving behind an abandoned soul, in its eternal wait for a forfeited love.

BACK TO YOU......

Every drop of tear,
Every sad note I hear,
Every moment of blue,
All lead me back to you.

Every poem I write,
In such long, gloomy nights,
And my lonely thoughts too,
All lead me back to you.

The deep, helpless sighs,
Long lost dreams that prick my eyes,
This much I know is true,
All lead me back to you.

At the end of the day,
Every prayer I say,
And my secret wishes do,
Still lead me back to you.

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.
