the sky & the shore

Like always they argued..he and she

yours or mine,whose love is more?

she was the sea shore with countless sands

He was the night sky with infinite stars

***************************************

Talkative was she ;Silent was he

And their love was as deep as sea

They were different;yet souls were same

Strangers once ,joined in time...

************************

She searched for words to portray her love

Harder it was ..to display it so

Her waves went back in time

to gift her memories like shells to the shore

Somewhere in those

Rain drops turned into pearls..

Her waves traveled ahead in time

And borrowed her dream castles

To adorn her poems

And in the alchemy of her soul

she melted her sonnets sweet

Still her words remained imperfect..incomplete

To portray her love for him

words she never found...

**************************

But he was there

As always..serene and calm

With much ease,grace and charm

His silent actions spoke

His love in a million little ways..

He became the rain

when she wanted to cry

He spread out a rainbow

Just to make her smile..

He coloured the clouds crimson

To see her blush in the dusk

and made golden..her sandy cheeks

He never needed words

but his silence always spoke

He spread out his arms till horizon

and wrapped her in a hug..

******************************

And then silently ask

Whose love is more?

Unlike the games they used to play before

Where he always let her win..

She happily chose to lose this time

And a shooting star brightened the shore

As the Loser wins again...!!

Dreamy days...

There are days when eyes are full of dreams
That you can hardly open them...
 If only you could fly away
To those distant dreamy lands
Where the magic flowers of love
Shall bloom and wave their heads
Where the wind is filled with aroma
Of long gone fragrant days
And on those sea shore of memories
Forever u shall stand...
To see the setting sun splashing colors
All over you and across the sky
To feel the waves kiss your feet
And stealthily wet your dreamy eyes
You hide a sparkle..u hide your dreams..
They ask you to let them free..

And on one dreamy day like this
You untied those strings...
And slowly played a song...
Across the silence
Your words fly
To become butterflies
Your dreams soar high
Ur soul wandering free
As red leaves fall      
Beneath autumn trees...

The Winter's Tale

Come hither,hear this winter's tale

Of fallen leaves,of forgotten dreams

Sit under this starry night

Liten to your solitude and my whimpering streams..

You know how it is

When people walk away from your dreams

with soft footsteps,never turning back

without goodbyes like withering leaves..

You want to stop them, you wanna call

Hold their hands and say "please dont go"

But its your dream,a snowy storm

you realise,your voices aren't heard

They say,Your heart is cold 

Like mine..

But you know how it is..

when tears have frozen to snow..

I Wish...

light fades,the day ends.. 

 And your thoughts fly in through the windows wide... 

i took my moonlit pen.. 

soon the white paper near..

mirrorred just my dreams.. 

 I wondered how we together..

fit into a few of my caricatures..

These funny pictures..

you and me smiling there.. .

if only someday u knew..

These shabby strokes,those imperfect curves

 were just my attempts bringing us togethr.. 

some dreams r dreams only.

.But still

.i wish you knew..

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?!!
