A Longing Heart...

Till tears run dry,
Till heart does die,
A longing rests inside my soul,
Of a love far from my reach,
Despite the heart that longs your way...

Far away...far away you are frm me,
And I query, as we both gently do,
Would we meet? Touch for real?
Or is it just to end in grief, with departures at ends of both,
Despite our unwillingness...'spite our reluctance?...

Pray my love that love cross barriers of all,
No distance, no days of eternal longing in futile wish...

Wishes...let it turn to reality so dear,
Where fate falters and we create our destiny much dear...

To be with you,
And you be with me,
I'll fight all the odds,
Just to make you mine in both heart and mind,

And where hatred serves to dwell in lives,
I'll swerve the way to make it love!

Wind

All of a sudden it all faded,
The joy, those laughters that I heard 'time ago,
Slowly I heard that silence creep by anger,
And I prayed not this time, I mocked at self!

The soft thread that weaves those tender flowers,
I made a garland, Look! For you to wear,
In your crownly dress, below the crown,
I stayed dazzled as I looked at you,
I smirked and smiled in joy and clapped my hands...

Hide low! Hide low! I screamed in fear,
To save her from the coming wind,
Yet she scorned me, said I'm a coward,
I was exempt, she got, carried away...

Then I wept for what a folly I did,
I could have pushed her on the ground,
I surely must have had time,
For to eternity I stared that engrossing wind,
It all disappeared in a gush...
The way it came, the way it went,
Then there was, the clear blue sky...

A Step to Help

I.
Far away to a distant land,
She had run away from home,
With past behind and present unknown,
In search of future, she had went along…
…along the tides, the sun and shade,
…with years to come, with days to live!

A journey of haste, she took in rage,
Traveling to reign, the world she owned,
Yet her strength crumbled in tears,
When the world she knew, was none, no more.

In despair she cried, and for food she traveled,
Short of money…but she knew no job,
Thence on a street, she cried in pain,
Asking alms to strangers unknown,
Who merrily traveled, ate good and sweet,
Wore cloths oh! New! She wished to steal!
Yet her pain, they failed to know…

II.
Then once when I walked, in joy, I saw,
A poor lady, begging for alms,
Hundreds had passed, never giving a coin,
For a rupee one gave,
Could have eased her pain…
Selfish they were and humanity was lost…

But I, a student, could not just pass by,
For a help in need, is a help indeed,
Thus I gave some rupee coin,
Offered some food, and she smiled to thank,
I felt blessed, merry the sun, shined bright!

Loneliness

The years of solitude, Oh! Eternally new,
With none to be with, save the shadow you own,
What you hear, is what you get,
A throbbing pain in a weary heart,
Loneliness reigns, we cry too harsh!

Oh sorrow! That gentle sorrow, oh no!
It smoothly creeps deep down your soul,
Crumbling your happiness, you’ve stored in joy,
Darkening your pain, you’ve tried to let go…
Loneliness reigns, you cry too harsh!

Motions jaywalk, heart beats fast in pain,
With mind to a distant land, eyes, distract itself to a horizon far,
Far away, we ere an escape,
Wish to retreat, yet pain stands in our way,
For loneliness reigns, we cry too harsh!

“Stop! Oh! Please!”
“Please stop!” I scream,
Hear my pain, for it haunts me down,
A throbbing pain in a weary heart,
Loneliness reigns, I cry too harsh!

Heart’s Echo

Late at night, I heard your voice,
And needless to say, I cried in joy,
Seeking forgiveness, for you are pure,
With it your presence, I now hearken in delight!

Thump! Thump! My heart raced in pain,
When you fumbled to utter a word to me,
Restless I was, insane I grew,
As I looked that joyous way of yours!

Angelic delight! Angelic delight!
Merry, I am in joy,
Smell the fragrance, the air breathes tonight,
Make a wish, for the star is out at night!

Too eternal…too long the way,
To hold you tight and feel your touch,
As I write a word for you oh! Dear,
I feel you close…the distance no more!

Shining Star!

For…
Late at nights, I celebrate the joy,
In endless stars that lures at sky,
Deep down below, I stare at her,
Yet from above, she fails to know I’m there!

I smirk! I smile! I scream out loud,
Wishing she hear a willow sound,
Yet she never knows I long her way,
So tonight she shines, the morn, she sets!

The eternal wait, we both then start to wait,
I look up…she looks down…
Shining bright, I find her in sky,
Merry making with her friends, she reckons me not!

Then, one day, it so happened,
In the very night I celebrate,
Something unexpected, occurred to me,
The night, then, felt cold and soft,
Soon the pyre began to burn,
With it my wait, faded to ash…

Thence her eyes, turned towards to me,
Fiercely she cried, brought down the rain,
The star fell down…
I could not catch!
