Memories of lost love

A face i stumbled across, to seem to me through my thoughts
That the universe only pervaded seasons of songs, and colored rainy plots
Whirlwinds of staggering scent, and the breeze of fragrant gestures
Winds were all intoxicated, and the directions, missed out creatures

All the world’s ways seemed altered, and high spirits renewed
Elation waking, throbbing in my heart, stormy breaths got shrewd
Lips caroled sonnets, and the eyes hatched a fancy
Holding all the blued moments, i feared it to be dreamy

When she came, settled, and caught the sight
Won my heart, what I found her to be, describing is my plight
Twined and curly plait clinging to her face, appeared to me
Like a blooming flower bathing in the mist behind the fogged spree

Like an eavesdropping moon concealed itself in the cloud
Like an aglow morn emerged from the blanket of starlit shroud
Her eyes living a sea of fantasies, shimmered like an expanse of stars
Giving a wavy glimpse, her speaking words showered a rain of pearls

Like a jingle of the silvery anklets, and the tinkling glassy goblet
Like one’s clandestine playing of sitar, and singing in the moonlit
Like the soft revealing of a secret, and her coming closer
Like, the pausing of time, the soul of the world turning purer


What words they were, and those meetings, where I knew
How pious a gaze can be, to melt the heart, and ran through
How the longing finds its odyssey and the destination clue
How the moon lands on earth, and the feel of heaven in view

She explained to me, we who meet were destined this way
We who bloom, were to be the wayfarers on love’s play
This bond of many births, of very many relationships
We are soul mates, and meant to be on more such trips

And it flowed into my ears like honey of emotion
It washed into my eyes, half woken up to sense a caution
But this dreamy world was so beautiful, later full of sass
As a world that was elsewhere, but in words, else it never was

The dreams passed, my eyes opened, and wits returned
I found, who she had come in my dreams was a mirage churned
Who towards i held charming fixation, who rested in my heart
Had gone, and my heart was yet alone, failing on life’s chart

No desire, no wish i knew, no dream again will seem enough and chief
Now my days, and nights, in them is only pleading, and elemental grief
And begging, and pain, i cry for help, no one is mine, but nothingness
No one is there, but the memories of lost love and i, unloved, loveless

A flare

Surviving the adversaries, flowing and passing by
So many are lives, altogether happily existing
Amongst them is the one, Yours and mine
All alike, like You and i, everyone’s glowing


But my Lord


For your sake, consequences never be so cruel
To a soul, that he loses his being mere sole
Else, a well woven, laughing face will have to depart
Before its time, your this world, never to resurrect

Why, my Lord, a flare of life, extinguishes so coldly
Why Lord, a flame of life, of soul, will end so early
From the blazing sunshine, and the beautiful morning dew
We all receive joy evenly, rejuvenating, and again and anew

Is it too much that I ask for her to be my friend
As here, in this friendship I see my stirring world
But Lord please, my only wish should not be sacrificed
Else, a smiling bunch of flowers will forever be wilted

Why, a flare of life extinguishes so early, my Lord
Please, never be so to a flame of life, please, oh God

Life-changing events

On the outskirts of my social sphere, I just met someone
With his long ruffled hairy looks, attraction was undone
The event was a B-plan competition and he was the judge
I took him lightly, only to prove myself the greasy sludge

Event started with participants staging their planned talent
A volley of questions raised by the judge was rather variant
Due to lack of knowledge, I couldn’t win the competition
But that encounter with the whacky had my life’s solution

His nonchalance and calm nature had left me dumbstruck
The guy was deeply absorbed and lost in his assigned work
Uniqueness associated him with his leading his own way
The man had become my inspiration as a distinct sun ray

Later, another serendipitious event brought us even closer
And by god grace he is now more than a just friend I swear
Today is his birthday, my lord, and he deserves your blessing
A very happy birthday friend upon your 22 years of being

Flattery

And i ain't

Admiration switches to hoax, when flattery itself generates
boasting sheer waves of feigning never tend to exterminate

And so i ain't

and then the practictioner of cajolery adulterates his soul
with this blot what ceases to exist is his being mere sole

And thus i defy it

and, until he inadvertently nears about the self-realisation
the timeless moments lost never let him be the sane again

And hence i validate it

and, since it is the proposition for those who wish to be flattered
i ain't an advocate of flattery 'coz things to me as such never mattered

And i ain't

A letter to a friend

This is the course of life, and its rhythm is a see-saw
Being steady and not, are its untimely high and low
Struggles are the cold and the unceasing truth of life
Such is its trail, strolling upon competition and strife


What you have been through, is critically unfortunate
Had i been in your place, would be extinct, as dd late*
Overcoming uncalled-for events, you chase excellence
You are an Amazon, defying your sheen and brilliance


Friend, my soul reiterates it thousands of times;


Moonlight laughs it off when a blow of wind whispers
Feel my words, i am always with you, my soul swears
Out of the mysterious darkness of this agitating world
i will enliven your morn, i promise, remaining a friend


Living with the swarm of warm memories down the lane
With your every step, the earth and the sky will unite plain


Shades of twilight secretly touching, and passing by you
Feel this warmth, i am always there with you, rather true
Deadening the enigmatic gloom of this perplexing world
i will enrapture your morn, i promise, abiding as a friend


Living with the swarm of warm memories down the lane
With your every step, the earth and the sky will unite plain


My friend, the past is gone and the future uncertain
The present is that moment, where bliss we attain
oh you, nothing has lost, trust yourself, for my sake
i want you to be happy, for here will success rake
