That Day

One day,all my pain will cease
And the endless burden of each breath
will disappear like a rain drop in Ocean.

One day, this world of chirades
will clear for me; And everything
will remind me of you,just you.
All shackles will loosen by themselves
and I'll come crying to you.

That day,take my trembling hand
and hold me close to your heart
Till I dissolve in your arms
and close my tired eyes.

I will be with you, that day.
All my pain will cease, that day.

All in that moment, brief.

I was near you again,
what if, for a moment so brief.
My face had a fresh smile,
And heart beat not echo grief.

I wanted to hold your face
and see if your eyes
are still shy to meet mine.

I wanted to hear you say,
that you too remember me
and your heart also aches for me,sometimes.

I wanted to make you mine, again.
Be with you, Smoothen your hair,
Hear what you have to say,
All in that moment, brief.

A true Devotee

You show me way, I walk
You give me mind, I think
You give me will, I sin.

But I pray,
Let not my mind, under the burden of sins
believe its not worthy of thy love- dear Lord

Let not my humble soul have a will
stronger than thine- dear Lord

Tell everyone, for in you -they still believe,
that I am your son, and all my sins,
were acts of thou- dear Lord

Show me a way, dear Lord.

Asymptote

You also left me, my last puff;
Into whom I had breathed life
with every gentle kiss.
You told, you would take me along,
into ashes-grey and white;
And we will get blown away with the wind,
into open skies.

But you also left me, my last puff.

In this season of chill,
you were the last smolder in my dying fire,
to keep me warm
and my senses alive;
But you went ahead alone
And it just might be;
that I stared at you for too long

But you didn't wait, my last puff.

Now what should I do,
but start anew and hope
that my next last puff,
will stay loyal to me;
And burn with me long enough,
to take me into ashes-
grey and white

Sonnet to Sisyphus

She headed; enchanted and afraid,
into the jungle
full of wild flowers,
thick trees and unknown beasts.
She ran in the wild,
plucked ripe berries,
smelt vibrant flowers and
drank from cool streams.
She chased a lovely butterfly,
fearless and free
into the jungle deep;
And fell in a bottomless mire
where she struggled; then resigned
and was never again seen.

Thoughts Unsaid

The blue dress, matching earring,
deep string of pearls appearing
like moonlight floating on supple waves
Needless makeup, vagabond hair,
reaching for soft lips where,
Smile, dew drop on rose buds, stays.

Inquiring eyes, raised eyebrows,
Eddies of pink on face that glows
like...like I will tell, but please
to glean all my thoughts unsaid
let me just kiss you instead
tenderly, like the cool morning breeze.

Thus Life

Destiny
Inevitable results
Unsolicited effects
Cosmological Conspiracy
Disproportionate losses in a zero sum game
Beguiling fruits of Karma

Caught in the strife
Such Life

Patiently smile
Connect the dots
scattered and sprinkled
forming a perfect picture
With certainity of existence
and miracle of probable

Ever unfolding
Thus Life
