LANGUAGE OF SMILES

My raving heart skips a beat

My fluttering soul hums a tune

As Love speaks the language of smiles!

My happy sky glows in the light of this ecstasy

And the flowers blossom with every hidden blush 

As the fragrance of this joy fills the cold morning air

Even as cruel Time, stops to take a breath

The “I” in me wonders

                                                           

Oh, can’t this moment last for ever! 

TAINTED GLASS SHATTERED

Through tainted glass I view the world

A tainted heart I see

Through tainted glass I see the sun

Let tainted colors be!

Through tainted glass I raise the wall 

A tainted life to be?

Though tainted glass may clear away

But can a shattered ever glass be?  

SHADOWS OF THE PAST

The world before my eyes seems wasted

The sky is overcast, and the earth in barren  

The grass has withered and the river has run dry

The birds have flown; and all blossoms have fallen  

As the sorrow of my past casts its saddened shadow on turbulent water

A never-ending eclipse seems to rise; as darkness fills my cloudless sky 

Fatal it seems; as one more day is engulfed in this dark shadow

Even as the cowardly face of my future shies away

Oh craving soul of mine! Will this darkness ever cease?

EMPTY HANDS IN A FLEETING WORLD

Never was I born, to die today

Nothing has changed, yet nothing stands still

With empty hands I let my suffering go

Within flashing dreams of this fleeting world

Pleasant is it for everyone, when the new spring comes to pass

When chains of love drag me to my empty grave! 

HOW MUCH ME

How much brighter must the sun shine, to  see in the hidden shadow?  

How much clearer must be the mirror, to see the sadness in my soul?  

How much violent must be the anger, that dares to hurt Me

How much bitter must be hatred, that finally kills Me

How much molten must be lust, that lures to melt Me

Torn between the void of empty spaces and faces

How much deeper must my love be to love once again! 

LIVID SEPARATION

Vivid are those memories, frozen in time

Livid is the pain; Oh beloved of mine!  

Our broken hearts bleed in misery

 While our souls writhe in agony

I have tasted the rotten flesh of death and digested it

But is it not sweeter than this separation!

Oh Love of my life! 

In this war of love against love!

Don’t lose hope!  Breathe on!               

WITHOUT YOU

Oh beloved of mine! What has become of you!

When I was lost and lonely and broken hearted you gifted me wings of love      

With a soothing heart you made me fly;

But was all this love of ours born only to be crucified?  

Now that the nails dig into my rotting flesh

Don’t you feel the pain too?

You have kindled the fire of love in my soul

But don’t you too the feel the heat when my heart is burning?   

Now in this living hell of life

What will I do without you!

Oh beloved of mine! What will I do?  

THE LONG SUMMER WAIT

The long summer is over and the rains have begun

The grass has grown and the sky is bluer

But still, I sit alone and wait for you

My eyes are dreary and my heart is growing weak

My wanton mind can still hear you speak

                                                           

Oh beautiful eyes,  glowing with love

Will you come back to me?

WHEN WILL YOU COME HOME ?

Thinking of you, all my nights remains sleepless

As the radiance of your smile leaves me grappling for breath

Your piercing look lingers in my heart

As your embracing arms soothe my soul

The sweetness of your voice leaves me speechless

As your lips speak soft words of magic

  

Oh my loving sweet heart! When will you come home tonight?

THE QUESTION

The burning question of the evening creeps in with the falling dusk

 As the darkness of the nascent night brings in its confusion

The missing moon and stars are lost in a clouded haze

As my frozen mind is fixed in a thought less gaze

An answer is all I need; an answer is all I seek

In this silent wilderness of this lonely night

I sit alone and wonder

What does the dawn of tomorrow have in store for me?
