Little by little

Sep 18, 2013 1 comments

Little by little,
We share the Misty core of that mountain.
It’s soul of enchantment.
Little by little, the darkness disappears from my life,
And fills my soul with love and light.
We dance, Spellbound.
 I make love to you on the tombstone of lost the moments.
 When I run my fingers on you the mist watches over us.
 Our lives tangled like snakes,
 Beautiful like the mystic music that surrounds us.
 I run my lips over yours as you run your fingers through my hair
And little by little you melt into me.
 Your soul on mine and we breath as one.
As we lay tangled together like earth and the roots.
 The mist wraps us like a symphony
 and the silence echoes in our love.
Little by little,
I open my eyes from the slumber ,
I find cigarette buds and an empty bottle of wine.

Today

Jan 17, 2012 1 comments

When you think you are down,
When you see the rainy days and no sunshine.
Smile, as you tell yourself,
Today is a new beginning,
Because I have,
Another dream to weave,
Another smile to give,
Another moment to live.
Another plan to make,
Another toy to break.
Another cake to bake,
Another joke to share,
Another pet to care.
Another promise to keep,
Another wish to wish,
Another game to win,
Another sea to swim,
Another song to sing,
Another kite to fly,
Another story to write...
The world Beckons,
Because, today is your day.

This is where it all started,
This is where I started Crawling,
This is where I started dreaming,
This is where I started writing,
This is what my heart yearns for,
This is where my love lies,
This is what I call peace,
This is what I slog my ass for,
This is what I take all the blame for,
This is why I count my days for,
This is what I call Happiness,
This is what defines me. 
 his is where my roots are,
This is my God,
This is my prayer,
This is nirvana,
This is eternity,
This is Home.

Solitude

Jan 28, 2011 10 comments

When I look into the mirror,
My loss stares right through me…
The emptiness has a colour and it's dark,
Your voice cuts through me when you say Good bye.
For years I have known you,
and yet I haven’t known you at all,
This is where our dreams part,
Where I let you go,
I wouldn’t frown,
I wouldn’t whine…
I wouldn't shed a tear for something that was never mine
and I return to what was my ever mine...
My solitude, My true friend!!!

In Thy name they Kill

Feb 5, 2010 3 comments

He stared at the Rubbles,
His home 
Just a pile of cement blocks remained.
He looked for his mother,
Dead hopes and
false promises of hevean was all he found.
Innocent blood spilt,
 for the wrong cause,
They praised the martys
but whose was the Loss?

He looked up in the sky and asked
 “In thy name they kill,Why don't thee stop them?"
All he could find was airplanes and Black clouds of smoke
And all he could hear was screams for an answer.

-- 
In thy name they kill...
Did thee even know???

Addicted

Jan 22, 2010 2 comments

Lone was I before you came,
Life was dark like the starless sky,
The black clouds,
which refuse to shower,
Through the broken glass pane
Sneaked in the cruel cold wind,
Cold as January can ever get.

Then like the spring you came,
You brought blossom into it.
I saw the flowers bloom and the bird sing
You embraced me with warmth,
Of a promise to stay.
Life wasn’t the same anymore...

It always has to come,
The truth never hides forever.
Hallucination of a dream never last more than a night…
With the anguish with eloquence
I admit it.

It is real hard when the dreams fade.
When the promises made
are as fake as the mirage,
and in this truth, alone I wade.

Still don’t know what am i addicted to,
Those lonely Nights that kept me high
Or the smoke that kept me sane...
But all I know is,
I’m addicted!
It’s real hard to quit.
It’s real late to try.

This one is very old dated back to my college days, I have edited this several times since then,still I feel something is missing.
Please let me know what you feel about this.

Addiction I

Dec 8, 2009 0 comments

Something’s in life gets very much attached :
and we call them addiction!
it might be words,
might be people,
habits or things;
they become so close that
they never leave us until
the end of the journey,
they stay with us
like a good friend
which has a lot of vices
but still it’s hard to avoid ‘em.
i dedicate this, for one of my such addiction
to someone …………..

To someone out there.
To someone who always smiles after reading this……..
To someone who loves the above as much as i do……
To someone who told me ‘ for the world you may be someone, but for someone you are the world ‘
To someone….who means everything to me.

Y O U

You are like a mystery to me,
But I’ve known you for ages.
You are like a mirage to me,
But I’ve seen you for ages.
Your voice seems like an echo to me,
But I’ve heard them for ages.
Your love,
Your care,
Your presence,
Is all that I posses.
Your voice have been my breath for ages.
I don’t know who I am, or what I am,
But all I know is that,
You have been my identity for ages.

Lost

lost is the time that we had together
the smile of ur cheeks
shine of ur eyes,
all are left just as memories.
good or ill,
joy or painful,
are just left as memories.
once where we met,
where a thousand of flowers,
once bloomed,
is now a desert,
where it hardly rains.
when i smell the virgin mud,
i know how much,
i once loved u.
when i see the bristle ,
on my window,
on a rainy day,
i still remember those,
good old days that i spend ,
with u.
and when the sun drowns,
itself in the golden ocean,
and when the night falls on,
i feel how much,
i miss u in my life.
how much pain is within me.
and how bad it hurts inside.
and more when i feel,
that how near u are.
but still when ,
i spread my arms for u,
you are not there…..
its all left as memories,
and wounds in the heart,
which refuse to heal,
even after the time passes
on and on and on……….

A Monsoon Rain..

it’s the monsoon..
cloudy sky,
cold wind,
damp mud,
drops falling from heaven.
I love to see the rain,
and recall those days,
when i see the little boy,
who throws his umbrella,
and runs out into the shower,
when his mother shouts,
I love to see him smile.
I love to recall those days,
when i see the little girl,
who let her paper boat ,
into the flooding streets of Cochin.
I love to see her smile,
when her boat sails along.
when others run for a roof,
they spread their arms,
to fetch those heavenly drops.
I love to see the happiness,
a monsoon drops in…
i love to see it rain…

Jodha

Staring at the starlit sky,
I Hold your hand,
as we lay in the sand,
Sing me a song Jodha.. i said
make me melt in that eternal bliss.
you run your fingers over my ears
as if they were words,
I would write them down,
Make it immortal with your lips
and the moonlight lit up your face,
and those diamonds shines
as they roll down your cheeks,
The tide washing our feet,
and the soft breeze caressing your hair..
I hold you hand close to my chest,
