impromptu love

under the starry night ,
with the moon bright white ,
walking with the road ,
the two were abode.

neither said a word ,
for they were a bird ,
keen to fly high ,
in the beautiful sky.

not beguiled by looks ,
for they were not crooks ,
smiling , blushing , caring ,
for all they were , all the while.

desired to say something ,
desired to hear something ,
but for the shyest ,
didn't open the closet.

at strike of two ,
slept like logs , did thou?
old time shall tell ,
oops , did i just hear them yell?

the last lonely night

in the silence of thunder ,
the darkness of lightening ,
the stillness of hailstorm ,
in the company of unknowns ,
i walked on.
in the closeness of virgin path ,
the stillness of time ,
the sorrows of happiness ,
in the emptiness of the mind ,
i walked on.

battered , bruised , impaired ,
not a speckle of fair skin ,
nor a fabric to cover ,
soles peeling apart thyself ,
the fingers numb ,
the chilly wind lashing ,
against the sombre face ,
hard , brumal , adamantine ,
flinty cold in the chest.
i tottered on.

towards ,
the only light , i had ever seen ,
the only feeling , i had ever felt ,
the only happiness , i had ever pursued ,
the only path , i had ever dreamed of ,
towards , the bereaved.

at last ,
when i could ,
neither breathe , nor feel ,
from my deepest core ,
summoning all that was there ,
i spread my arms like an eagle ,
fell on the knees like a worshipper ,
raised my head towards the eternal sky ,
and i saw , with my frozen eyes ,
the beautiful white moon ,
beneath the dark ghostly clouds.
i thought ,
i smiled ,
i fell.

and then they came ,
hordes , never seen before.
to feast , to relish , to gulp.
the skin was peeled , meticulously ,
the blood was sucked , hastily ,
the flesh was devoured , slowly ,
the bone was licked , greedily ,
but it was , elusive as ever.
so on , they went ,
peeled , sucked , devoured and licked.
alas , no where , was it to be found ,
and so , satan was send for.
yet he too , had a hard time ,
could not find the prized dime ,
i was laughing all the time ,
for the bloody morons in chime.

reminiscences

as i stare down the memory lanes ,
searching for the lost moments in vain ,
i cry my heart out ,
for the times gone by.

i gave second looks to none ,
but one , one look , in those ,
deep , mesmerising , enthralling eyes ,
bewitched , captivated , charmed , i was.
what a fool , i was ,
i had fallen for ,
yet i brushed it off ,
for impervious was i thought i was.

sitting with her ,
by the bank of the river ,
quiescent she was ,
head on shoulders ,
silky , soft , tender hands in mine ,
long fingers , intertwined with mine ,
a single emotion spread across ,
her adorable , beautiful , graceful , fair face.
as caprice of mind ,
i was back in time.

in the early hours ,
of the lovely morning ,
when the trees were asleep ,
and it was not yet four ,
walking on the dark lonely road ,
the words i heard ,
perhaps you don't care ,
and i was like ,
my my my ,
how do i reply ?

i was crying ,
under the pillow.
i was weeping ,
in the bathroom.
i was whimpering ,
in the balcony.
i should have known ,
tears , are not arguments.
for i was , hurt badly ,
yet i was in , something madly.

aeons of time passed by ,
yet somehow , i feel it was yesterday ,
when i left her alone ,
not a word spoken.
the coldness fills my chest ,
the callousness cuts me each passing moment ,
had i , had a heart ,
i would have given it to her ,
and i would not have been here.
