WHEN SHE COMES..

Through the half open door
of your heart,soft footsteps..
The time you least expect her
She steps in..
With long lovely fingers
Blindfold your eyes
You exclaim in awe..
And then you see
The world prettier than paradise...
Roses bloom ;red a little more red!
The skies,the oceans more serene and blue..
Hues come alive.
Hide in your cheeks..
The gold of the dusks
As she speaks..
"The silence of your eyes
someone read long ago,,
your smiles lit up someone's dawns
like sunrays on a dew..
For you were in someone's thoughts
Long gone days fresh and new.."
Softly when she whispers these
Light as air you are..
Yet somewhere lurks a pain..
you cannot explain..
Hopes and fears intertwine..
your autumn trees shall flower..
Forlorn winters nowhere seen
on your life's pages ;empty.. white..
A brush to paint your dream..!
You stand in the drizzle,wondering who
thus changed you,quiet and meek..
Gently from above,,
Eternal she remains..
And someone called her LOVE

An Ode To The Rain

The waiting was uncertain,i knew it always

Days seemed long..so were the nights..

you never gave promises..i realize

The waiting was uncertain,i knew it always..

Dried up rivers told many tales

Of turbulent days long long back.

Like an old lady saying the charm

Of her once long hair,thick and black..

Shrivelled up trees whimpered low

Thirsty birds had cuddled up high

The wind was warm even at night

you didnt come ..for the sky remained bright!!

Cracks began to appear

In the soil,in my heart..

I looked up the sky;so blue;it seemed

I failed to read your clouds..

Or you,my eyes.. perhaps.!

You never gave promises i realise

Let the waiting end with me

So to the skies,i closed my eyes..

But then,all on a sudden

Descending from heavens

You kissed my forehead!!

And left me wondering

Was it your love or

My own tears

Was it joy or Was it pain

Flowing down my cheeks...

And softly whispered the breeze

" The Eternal Rain"
