Angel of Bliss

Someone in the woods
Called me by my name
For the first time I heard
I thought it was an illusion

Next day I went to the woods again
And yet again, someone did call me by my name
This ought not be an illusion, I called myself
And wandered into the woods to reach the voice

A damsel in complete white
Stood behind a tree
Fair face she was…
Fair Lady she was…

With the gone Sun over the sky
She reflected angelic light
Bright enough to wet your eyes
She was an Angel of Bliss

Closer I went…
Her face was clear,
And her eyes glimmered in the quaint dark night
And I defined her, angelic beauty

Now she seemed an illusion to me
For a step closer, she walked away…
For a run near, she ran away…

“Do stop” I pleaded
And she turned her head towards me…
Her eyes that looked at me…
Completely struck me by awe

She was an Angel of Bliss
An angel; only one saw
And then she welcomed me to her…
With her arms wide open

For a moment I then stood dull,
Then I ran to reach her…
To own her…
To love her…

Alas! What a sorrow it was
For when I closed my eyes to hug her with love on my heart,
She disappeared with a sharp blow of the wind!

Se was a Fair Lady…
An angel a man couldn’t reach
Her place isn’t in the thorns of me…
But in the velvet roses up above.

Oh! But what’s a rose without a thorn…
Wouldn’t everyone pick it up with ease?

A Painter's Art

If the world were to be an art
And I its painter,
First I’d draw,
The Fair Lady I adore

With then would come me
Merry face with dreams and aspirations
Far away you misery!
Closer you come love…

Yet despite the happiness sketched
There still is dark
With the Fair Lady not smiling
For her heart wanders far away…

If I were to be a painter
And the world my art
First I’d draw
The Fair Lady

With then would come her heart winner
Both merry faces…
Close together…forever…
But oh! what misery

And in my painting,
Scorn as you may,
Never would I scribble my name
For what was never mine
Would I ever lose?...

“Away…away you go” cried Fair Lady to me
And a step back of me…
Glowed her face

Finally the art seemed bright and beautiful
With the Fair Lady’s smile and her heart winner…
With the fading me…
Like a gust of wind.

Startled were everyone with merry faces…
At a painter’s art
Fair Lady and her be-lover…
And alas! melancholy as it was,
No one understood the painter’s
Fragile heart…stone!

If I were to be a painter
And the world my art
First I’d draw…
The Fair Lady I adore…
The Fair Lady I lost!

A Proposal

Together we stay

And never shall we part

Despite the world’s end…

Despite the virtues end



Life for us is short enough to cherish

So hold my hand…

Oh! My beloved

And kiss me on my lips…



From where words shall burst out

Words of love…words of promises

Together we make…

Together we made…



Embrace me now

For who know what tomorrow brings to me

Let me not go…

Let us not part…



Still the night is long enough

With the twilight over

And the sphere of moon…

And the love of ours



Hold my hands…

And I’ll forever be there for you

Fill my fingers

And never will we part



Promises never does last

And yet this will last

My presence around you…

My love towards you…



I LOVE YOU.

Python's Patience

These ruthless nights seem eternal to me

With the dark night hovering over the sky

With the crescent moon…

With the twinkling stars…



Fair Lady, I wonder if its true

And still I wander-wonder around you

Yet your shadows overcast my presence

Darkening image I find in you!



The quaint dark night nay leaves its place

Yet it has to go…it will go…

For a beginning has an end…

For an end has its beginning



Still the Sun is yet to shine

Still there is lots to say

Still there is lots to wish…

Still there is but just you…



The python’s patience in the wild

Never is wasted

True love in spite of its uni-ness

Never does betray



One day or the other,

I know for sure,

Like the python’s patience in the wild,

My love to her…ought to pay.

Mirrors of Time

The mirrors of time that holds your memories

Are fading away with the time you called change

Nay I wish not…

And yet the time is cruel to me

And to the memories of yours that I cling to



Time is remorseless…or so they say

I know not for now time seems to be

Eternal to me…

A sorrowful file I live without you…

Like the deep sea without water…

A heart…without a beat



Now with despair in my mind

And loneliness in my heart

I sit and weep

Staring at the mirrors of time

Wishing and longing to cherish your memories

For a minute more…for a second more…



In a futile hope of winning time…

In a futile hope of cherishing your memories…

The Mirrors of Time…

The Cruel Time.

Romeo & Juliet

The whole of the world

Seems merry to me

For I know now that

Love is real,…nay a purpose



Oh! Romeo lying in heaven

Look at the world’s end

Where men mistaken love a game

And blame Juliet for thee death



Sorrow filled the beloved’s heart

And she cried in a weeping note…

As the rain fell…her dropping tears

Descending on the below earth;



Oh! Juliet of heaven,

Nay cry for the fondly fools of people’s mind

For they know not what they say…

For they are ignorant to the love you made



The rain of tears soaked the men of earth

And drenched their thoughts of love

Which was but a game to them



Hark! The thunder…the rising Romeo

With his message of love…the flashing lights

And thus changed the feeling of love…

Into something to live for…



Thus gazed the newly men

To the rising Sun after the dropping rain

With love in their heart…

With warmth in their soul



“The whole of the world

Seems merry to us

For we know now that

Love is real…nay a purpose” the newly sung.

Distorted Meaning

Nay, shall you not be gone in that deep sleep of yours

Where words nor prayers could ring you up

Nay, shall you not be gone in that deep sleep of yours

Where love of mine could never touch your heart



Look…the dreams we together made

Hark! The melodies of voices

The rage of time…

The castles of sand…



Nay, shall you not be gone in that deep sleep of yours

Where words nor prayers could rise you up

Nay shall you not be gone in that deep sleep of yours

Where hugs of mine could never soothe your sorrows



Who shall kiss me those of good nights?

And who shall ere for my door bell ring?

And who shall but you inspire me for a better tomorrow?



Nay, shall you not be gone in that deep sleep of yours

Where words nor prayers could ring you up

Where love of mine could never touch your heart

Where hugs of mine could never soothe your sorrows…

Where words nor prayers could rise you up.

Dream

The miles are long

And so is the journey of life

Yet we feel it to be

A short sleep of tonight

A short dream man so joyously dreams



Cherish the days

Tonight is all you have

Nay yesterday...nay tomorrow

Just but a day of now...

A today...



So kiss your dreams

Oh! you sweet dreamer

Love your beloved

Oh! you merry belover

And recherish the dream

From which you have just awaken.

Wardom

The soldiers slept on the ground

With their guns lying by their side

Alas! Their sleeps were but not of a moment


Undead soldiers dragged immobile bodies

Dragging and piling

Dragging and piling

Formed a chuck of pile



This is wardom

From where no one can retreat

This is kill or get killed

This is carnival



Amidst the pile shone a parchment from a comrade-dead-in-arms

An unproposed letter to his love

A sober soldier unfolded it

And read with melancholy in his voice:



“How much do I love you;

Yet never can I tell;

But would I now?

Nay. My life is coming to an untimely end.”

Prison Bird

My palace is my prison

Where I no longer dream of freedom

"Prison Bird" is a poem I wrote remembering a person who has no freedom...whose days are divided into going to school and returning back. Nothing more. The shifts in the stanzas refer to his physical growth, increasing determination, and finally the will to get out rather than dreaming.I am a bird

And this is my cage from where I cannot flee



I see the world from the bars

“Come” calls the world

Then my soul weeps

Seeing the bars in between



I breathe the same stale air

But I wish for fresh – which I can’t

So I dream at night – my flights to the woods

Flying…breathing…



I am inside cage

But my soul drifts away

Away from the bars to nomad lands

Break-free



So with all my might, I sit upright

Each passing minute, my hope strengthens

With each passing day, my wish becomes my impulse

So I say calm…waiting…waiting…



One day I will exit from here

If not alive then with a flower on my chest

But I will come out

I WILL COME OUT



Then will my soul smile gleefully

And my spirit be redeemed

I’ll then cry and say

“I’m free.”

My visions – a better tomorrow

Prayers – revival of trust

And my tears – for the insanity of human kind.

Mortal Me!

Her eyes look my ways

But she turns away

Her heart calls my name



Her laughter awakens my soul

And her tears catches my palms

From those eyes that gives me hope

At times when I’m down



Her turns are looks to search my presence

And her sad face – marks my absence

But her weeps are now what I can’t catch

Nor I hear or can kiss the pain



For now I lay on my bed

My eyes closed and heart dead

What happened to me

I no longer know

Except the fact that I miss you so…



Oh! Friend laugh and awaken my soul

So I can wipe those tears and ask you no more to cry

So I could spend some time with you

Before my trip to heaven that will make me cry



But were my wish to be fulfilled…

But oh! Mortal me!

Broken Valentine

Romance is in the air

But I’m standing lonesome amidst the crowd

With my feeling buried under the grave

Where solitude only gets expressed



My heart no longer wants the sounds of love

Nor do they sing all those love songs

Rather it bleeds once again

In this Valentine



Oh! My beloved you gave me more than I could take

So I five you a gift of tears you made me shed

Open your eyes and see my gift

A broken heart in tears for you this Valentine.

Silent Whisper

Silent is the night

And so are your words of love

Words which you express

But in a silent whisper



Your words are healing prayers

Those hymns with which I pray to God

So my prayers run deep and wild

But in a silent whisper



Your tears are rains

Those rains which hides everyones' tears

Alas! my tears are weeps of pain you can hear

But in a silent whisper



Your eyes are rays of hope

Those hope which shows me light

In my darkest times

But in a silent whisper



Now the night is sombre

With coldness in the air

Where all my feelings are stirred

But in a silent whisper

Au revoir

Soldiers woke up in the midst of night

To ding maids by their side

But alas! They found their comrade-in-arms

And the bastion they had to fight



The air smelt bullets

And the sounds echoed wounded wails

Visions showed death

And faces etched fear



Their voices drone as they listened

Melodies of the birds high in the sky

Exhorting them to scribble “Peace”

In the quiet dark night



A radiant light showed in the freedom horizon

And everybody’s face blazed with fear

As they watched for the last time

Death close by – embracing them with arms wide open…

Au revoir

Amen.

Elegy on a Soldier

And then his life too ended just like others

Mouth open with fear…eyes staring wide

Wide to the horizon of Peace

Away from this war where his blood now bleeds



His wails are but his funeral prayers

And the firing bullets – his ringing bells and hymns

But the melodies of the free flying birds…

Alas! Are the cried of his distant maid



His tears are dry

And so are his dreams

Dreams that were all his

But never would it now be fulfilled



His maid looks for him

And longs to hear from him

But who would send her his letters of love

Drenched in his blood

Scribbling, “He is Dead?”

Oh! Death

Oh! Death, how painful are you to think of

How hard to accept and welcome you

Harder to bid the dead farewell

Hardest to stop the flowing tears



I fear of you like everyone does

But not for me – someone I care of

Let no tears fall down her eyes

And roll down her cheeks on my fall



That is why I fear of you

Fear to the highest level

Where hope does not stand its chance

In the darkness of your name



Oh! Death, how painful are you to think of

How hard to accept and welcome you

Harder to bid the dead farewell

Hardest to stop the flowing tears.

River

The nature now beholds its beauty

To express how beautiful is everything

For those mostly depressed



The Sun shines bright on you

To enlighten your face

The moon shines brightest in the dark

To show you the path



The blue clouds come

To show your purity of soul

The dark clouds fall

To hide your tears

And so has the river come

To tell you to move on

For it knows that

Nothing lasts forever.

Fragrantic Sweetness

Sweet is the fragrance of flowers

Sweet is the melody of your song

Sweet is the smell of your scent

And sweet is this Eternal love



Sweet are the paths that lead to you

Sweet are the days I meet to you

Sweet is your name just like you

Sweet is every thing about you



Sweet is your soul

That keeps me alive

Sweet are your eyes

That give me hope

Sweet are you to me

Sweet shall you remain forever

To me, for the time immortal

Silence and Sorrow

And then the silence fell

But the pain never ended

The tears stopped coming

But the wail continued on



Stirred in the feeling so blue

The sorrows are fading away

Merry days were what I hoped for

But unlucky me…it just ended in hope



Filled only by the sorrow and pain

No more I know happiness

No more I know love

And no more I see the beauty



But I know every thing

Every thing but pain

Every thing but cry

Every thing but worldly sorrows



The pains are so stiff inside

Tears dare not come any longer

The cut is so deep inside

That the heart feels no longer



And therefore the silence fell

But the pain never ended

The tears stopped coming

But the wail continued on.

Cry

And alas! He cried

For the love he lost

Filled deep in sorrow

Speaking all his pain

About his lost love

The Sun didn’t shine bright

To show his face

Rather the moon replaced him

Filled with darkness

And he cried for his lost love



Bitter…bitter was his story

Bitter was his pain

Bitter was his reminiscence

About his love praying

To the God for her being alright.

Smile

Thee shall laugh
And never shall you show
Your pain and sorrow
For your smile is
Precious as the Sun
Which reflects in the dark nights
As a light to show me path.

Stage

The lights have been lit

The carpets have been spread

The curtains red stand as a background

Until the opening of the stage



Now shall the lights turn dark

The curtains will part into two

For the opening of the stage will be soon



But before, a man speaks for now

Explaining all the why’s

Telling all his desires

For ending his life as a vow



Until the stage opens

You shall not speak

For it is time that I be speaking and you be hearing.
