Between you and him!

I knew
deep in my heart
I wasn’t sure
of this part!

In dilemma

I try
to be strong!
I’ve to decide
as I am stuck
between
him and you!

Not that you
were wrong,
just the bond
was never
so strong!

My heart
now denies
your possession
and my eyes
refuse a smile…

I believe we’ve
drifted a long mile!
The bond
of love has
broken off!

Nomore difficult
my heart moves
to the new abode
it found!

The unrest within me!

Breathes within
a feeling
of apprehension!

Why?

I ask myself!!

Is it the unseen?
or then the past
that I’ve left
behind?

What worries me
I wonder
and still
fail to get
an answer!

I hang on
in anticipation
someday
this feeling
dies off!

Heartbreak

It hurts...
it recurred..

Took life in my stride
but I stumbled again!
In my search for love
I ended in pain!

Trapped I am
and that’s what I feel!

Lost my heart
to your intoxicating smile..
and myself
to your inviting arms

I realize I committed
a mistake again..!

You are gone
with the wind
with its flow..
and I stand lost
nowhere to go!

Stuck to the past
still stuck to you..
I wonder if
you were ever true!

Me.. A dead man!

My beliefs drowned
in the bottomless sea
of betrayal!

My virtues and me
live together
in a grave
where we were
buried alive!

Not once
not twice
I’ve died
a million times.

A body I carry
a burden to bear
the soul plundered
unheard…
the beauty decayed
within unseen!

Still I walk
I’ve to move on
a dead man walking
that’s what I am.

The never ending Search

A fake heart
I meet
every time!

It sticks around
Until me
and my flesh
feels fresh!

Love I believe
stands now
as a mockery!

Never ending
the search
for a honest soul
who belongs
just to me!

Finding true love!

Every one,
I meet
has
a fake heart.

Sticking around
just until
me and my flesh
feels fresh!

So crude
yet so true
finding
a soul mate
is a difficult
thing to do!

Love I believe
stands now
as a mockery!

Never ending
the search
for a honest soul
who belongs
just to me!

The death bed

On my death bed
I lay with
dreams gray!

Revived
my soul
as I watch
you ..
my child!

I relive
the lost
moments..…
the past
as I see
you and the
immature pair
of wide eyes!

Life

You and me..
two ends of life..!

Me on my deathbed
knocking at heaven
and you
just born
and set for
the mortal strife!

Amazed I am
at the irony of life..

Such an odd junction
for us to meet..

Watching you!

On your face
as the sunshine falls
I see an
eternal glow!

I sit beside
as you slowly breathe!

Your eyes closed
as you lie in peace
and as you dream
your lips
curve to a smile!

I watch as you
shudder with each caress
You look like
silk wrapped
in lace..

You lie
as perfect as a
piece of craft
and with a body like
a sculptor’s dream!
Each part is perfection
and each move
a lovely expression!

I get mischievous
as I gaze at you!

I bend and touch
your forehead
with a soft kiss
and feel a wry smile
escape my lips!

I just lived
a moment
of sheer bliss!

Reminiscences

Time goes on
stops for none,
and everyone
is a part
of the run!

Grey hair
wrinkled skin
I am no more
of what I had been!

As I fumble
in the
cluttered drawer
I catch
a glimpse of
something precious!

Beaming faces
ambitions ahead
full of zeal
to win the future!

I realize
I captured bliss
in this tiny
photograph!

Faded memories
appear vivid
lost in past
but treasured
in my heart!

My nostalgic mind
wanders down
the memory lane…
My heart aches
to live
the past again!

Monotonous days!

Yet another day…

I struggle
to be awake
with coffee,
exercise
and breakfast!

I start
my routine,
struggle,
with
the traffic
and office punches
and still sit
there for hours,
until I get tired!

I return
to my
empty house!

Bland dinner
and
some wine
tastelessly
I swallow!

The laptop,
a few
useless calls
and the TV loud
accompany me,
as I kill time
and try to
sleep!

After
the weird
and
futile dreams
of the fruitless
long night..

I wake up to
yet another
monotonous dawn!

Search for honesty

I feel lost
as I search
for honesty
in vain.

Impossible
it is to reach
the mind
and visualize
who’s the one
inside
this hard coat
of ambiguity!

Poker-faced people
walk around me!

Multiple faces
overlapping
a single face!

I lie torn
between
right and wrong,
good and evil
and
the genuine and fake!

Confused
I stand
helpless
in this
dangerous trap!

Finding love with you!

I wake up in your arms,
Still lingering
reminiscences of
the wild and
passionate yester night!

My desires revive
as I read
your masculinity!
My body aches
and I tremble
as I remember the
moments dipped
in pleasure!

My hair spread
on your chest,
and my head resting
next to your heart!
Maybe with
an urge again
for the heartbeats
to synchronize!

A sinful
yet a pleasurable night
when all was wrong
and nothing right!
No more in a fix
this time for sure
I have found love
honest and pure!

I look at you
and my lips curve
to a smile!

Love at first sight

A twist in
my droning life..
as I stand in
the crossroad!

Trying feebly
to abstain
from
conceding to
my emotions!

My heart opens
the sealed doors
as it makes
strange bonds
with you
stranger!
