A PARTING NOTE

I have long known

Words can wound

And set a heart to bleed..

But which ones more

The said or the unsaid?

I came to know

memories hurt

And can fill eyes with tears..

But which ones more 

The sweet or the sad?

Sometimes dreams whimper

As i softly touch

Their wounded wings..

At times,silence a solace

And oblivion a bliss!

And i realise

Goodbyes are easily said

Than believed..

How to let go forever

These bonding across births!

If only we just stood there

To try and understand

These strange bondings of souls..

If only we just paused

For a moment's half to care

Our worlds would've been different

And we would never have been strangers

My friend!

When im gone...

I wish you forget me

Like the notes of sum unheard melody

I wish i fade in your thoughts

Just place me not as your saddest memory..

I wish you erase my smile

Like dark night wiping away sunrays

I wish you forget my words and those unsaid

And memories of long gone days

And when i have totally gone

From your mind,your thoughts and soul

You wont realise that the rain

Was my tears down your window pane

And i will bloom as a wild flower

Under the moonlight to behold your smile...

*Inception*

I wish you just walked

Midway to my little world of dreams..

Thats how it happens

You know,the inception!!

And i will look at your eyes

Those beautiful two filled with surprise

As to how i create my world

With a gentle wave of hands..

I will show you my dreamy lanes

All adorned with red gulmohars

we will walk hand in hand

Under the light summer showers..

Or we shall sprout wings pretty

Dance around like butterflies

Over the meadows green.. lightly float

And in coloured bubbles travel heights!

Or simply watch the setting sun

And read a cloud's poem on the golden sky

Maybe you wil hum an old gazal

And sing love shall never die..

We will laugh at our stupid jokes

Have some silly fights as well..

Though my 'subconscious is armed'

You wont be hurt,arent u special !!

Down the streams as moonlight falls

We shall land in the sky amidst a million stars

Or  light a billion lamps so bright

And just stroll down the ancient streets..

I will ask you not to worry

There isnt any need to hurry

Down this world of dreams

Time seems to have a slower pace

I promise not to lock you up in memories

I dont like to wake up either

Far down this world of beauty

We shall grow old together..

An evening glow,I will smile

As you ask me soft

"What if i can make reality

Much beautiful than your dreams?"

Alas! A noise so loud,a song or a jerk

Whats it that made me realise

You are just someone

From my half remembered dreams?!!

A Strange encounter

One day i met silence
Standing beside the window sill of life
A look so forlorn in her eyes
Deep in thought she stood still
i went so near,timidly asked..
"oh,silence you seem to know
Every language the world has in store
Yet,tell me..which one do you speak?"

i saw a smile so faint and sweet
Adorn her weary lovely face
Images flashed across
The many mirrors of mind
Roses red sprang up from nowhere
Skies turned gold,trees all bloomed
Dancing clouds,the song of rain
A smile so sweet,a touch so soft
A face so dear and beautiful dreams

Then Softly did i enquire so
Oh! Is that the language of love?

This time two big tears,rounded fell
and stealthily made their way
Down her face so serene and sweet

And Left me wondering
Is love and sadness just the same?!

Thinking of you..

When dusk so beautifully paints the sky
And hangs some stars so high
The tired sun hides in the sea
And your memories rush to me...

When the wind whispers near..
In my eyes wonder why a sparkling tear
For in the moonlit night
Ur memories shine so bright

When the winter sheds it's snow
And Silently the days may go..
how i hope but in vain
To take your soft hands in mine...

ETERNAL FRIENDSHIP

The sun rose among the hills
Gold and red splashes across the sky
I wonder how world turns so pretty
And then i see you smile..

Oh my friend,you held my hands
And together we had walked
These lanes of love that stretches far
Away from the shores of solitude..

We had walked under the trees in spring
who had spread out their leaves so green
Flowers of joy and fragrant air
Oh !How we shared those happy times..

We had walked at times under the summer sun
Laughed at our problems,had much fun
The moonlit nights and the gentle rain
Deep down still those memories shine..

We had walked under the autumn trees
Over the rustling dry leaves as on a bed
Oh,how you played the melody of friendship
Soothing my soul,enchanting my days..

My friend..my dear dear friend
Now as we walk on this snow so cold and white
The winters of life has set in,still i wonder why
My hands are entangled in yours
As you smile and say
Is not Friendship an ETERNITY...?
