Remembrance


There's a blue sky overhead,
with clouds like
the ripples in a little pond
you threw a pebble into.

There are sparrows chirping,
their voices sweet, 
like the melody you'd whispered
and put me to sleep.

Those breezes when they come,
gushing out stories, 
like the times you ran to me
full of triumph, grinning broadly.


There's this noisy street,
so always jammed,
like when you couldn't decide
what on earth wasn't damned!

That little girl I meet
each evening when I return,
her smile as refreshing
as your face in the sun.

These flowers, the green grass,
they sway in the evening cold winds,
bumping into each other 
every now and then.

All those dogs on the street,
look up at me
with eyes so innocent
Seeking to give company.

All this while, each moment I see
Your presence, though not always there,
is always with me.



And yet you ask, how I always remember you. :)

Forever Always

They'd said
the word being 'Forever'...
They'd said
the word being 'Always'...




The Forever Always
seeming like Tempting Eternities
calling out across decades
when we felt low.

The Forever Always
healing temporary wounds
burning desires
shrieks echoing
across abandoned locked doors.







Suddenly when
the storms
hit the ocean bed
and the tremors
longed for the shore

When the ship
It wrecked
The land, lost
the storm left
no more...



The Forever Always
seeming to always be there
flee in fright

The Forever Always
seeming to keep promises
vanished from sight...




The Forever Always
hid forever,
leaving us lost,
hurt and broken.
The trust, torn.
Not a goodbye spoken.


How unceremonious, insulting and humiliating.

How casual, insensitive and breaking.



The Forever Always
forever believed in,
abandoned the house
Filled in new wounds
burning desires
shrieks echoing
across abandoned locked doors.


The Forever Always broke a belief, shattered the trust,
Left us. Abandoned.

"Love Is..."

Love is...
The melody of their laughter.
It sounds like the best music to your ears.

Love is...
The exhilaration you feel
when they come running to 
share something that made them happy,
with you.

Love is...
The intense desire
to see them happy,
come what may.

Love is...
This night,
the moon,
the rustle of
the drooping leaves.

The painting in our mind-
painted in the colours outside.





Realizations and Limits.

Not everyday do you realize
that each ounce of discomfort
would pile up,
to form
a peak
so tall,
that, when it falls,
it actually just
inverts itself,
and a peak becomes
a trench.

The depth
is dark,
the depth
is deep.
It's a lonely place
in that pit,
only a dot of light
may or may not
be seen.





Why then,
even when
we know,
how deep
the darkness goes,
how empty,
the loneliness
envelopes the soul:

Why then,
not everyday do we realize,
that each ounce of that discomfort
makes a peak,
and the peak makes
a trench,
and a void,
full of a cacophony of silence
fills up the heart,
crushes the mind?
