Goodbye.......

So soft the brief touch of your lips on my cheek.
Was I almost intruding?
"Look after yourself "
should have been
"I love you!"
Then the Jumbo flew over my head
and I shouted my love
above the roar
and thundering thrust
. . . as if you'd hear.
Through the clouds in my eyes
I watched you fly away
and wished I'd been born with wings. ......

Tears fall from my eyes
As softly the memories flow
With tears, warm on my cheeks
I miss you so much.

Tomorrow is frightening
except for the thought
Of seeing you again,
Another time, another place.

I hear your voice;
In my dreams
We talk and laugh
About silly……..important things.

Each day without you is less:
Less bright, less full…
I feel your love with me,
Yet, I want you to hold.

I felt u the first time when I did not even know who u were I just dreamt about u
And the stuff we would do together…
But I knew u were there…

I remember those times

When I was pensive

I frantically searched for your hand
To get a grip…

And even today I know not who u are
But I miss you………

Mostly i would like to be remembered...


Mostly, I would like to be remembered
as someone who was passionate for life.
The days of unsought ecstasies are numbered,
however long we linger in the light.
I was one who cultivated wonder,
Less of one contented to explain,
Delighted by the promises of hunger,
Enduring for their joy the years of pain.
Gifts I had aplenty: Some I savored,
others sacrificed for others' needs.
Remember me as someone who was favored,
despite constraints, to tumble in the leads,
Ocean to what winds I could not be,
Nightrider through what worlds I could not see.

Mostly, I would like to be remembered
as someone who was passionate for life.
The days of unsought ecstasies are numbered,
however long we linger in the light............

The paradox called......Life


I knew I was meant to fly,

in the silken oranges of dawn....

but solid lumps of air... Alas!!


I knew I could dive in deeps,

and run as a free flowing current.

but subzero frozen lakes..... Alas!!


I knew I could walk the jungles,a

s the mighty lion himself.

but new found civilization....Alas!!


I knew I could die in peace,

and rest in the sombre quiets.

but the joys of life.... Alas!!

Your love....


In daylight you're a haunting melody,
More lovely than the world before my eyes.
In darkness you become my symphony,
So much of me, I know no other ties.

So are you nestled within me night and day?
Your missing self transformed into song,
Or walking close beside me on my way,
Unleashing all the love for which I long.

Reality is often bleak,
But love remains inside
A glass house on a mountain peak,
The harsh world beside.

You’ve said some things are beyond the purview of articulation
But Love can build its own four walls
But YOR LOVE is the inexplicable speculation
Through icy winds and blinding squalls,


Though your love drifts far downstream
Like mountains which suddenly disappear,
And life dissolves into a dream,
My love will still be here,
You'll turn, and I'll be there.

via paradise



I wish I could go again, to where I’ve been
I wish I could show you what I’ve seen
Coz I missed you when I saw the clouds making love to the mountains
And when I saw the blue bird
I swear I missed you
Coz the song it sang about sharing the best things in life
Seemed to be so true…
Will you believe it?
I missed you when I saw my reflection on the lake…
Then I saw you…or maybe it was an illusion
In spite of the Utopia where I was standing and looking at the snow-capped Everest
My mind was in a delusion
Whether I could ever share that sunrise
Whether we’ll be one…via paradise
I swear I didn’t want to leave the paradise
But I needed to come back down to earth
Because that is where my love lies…

And now that I am back will you love me the same way?
Will u kiss me without asking a single question?
Coz I always needed time on my own
I never thought I’d
Need u there when I cry
U were not there when I wanted u to creep into my blanket
U were not there when I wanted to make love to u
I swear I didn’t want to leave the paradise
But I needed to come back down to earth
Because that is where my love lies…


Then suddenly it all came true
Your substitute was not at all like u
I don’t know if better…
But I had a friend to laugh with
Nothing happened
But everything seemed to be happening the way I wanted it to be
That s when I realized your love is all that matters to me
I swear I didn’t want to leave the paradise
But I needed to come back down to earth
Because that is where my love lies…

i'll try...



When I see tears rolling down your shoulders
I feel…
Everything in this world should be right for you….
Traveling into the depths of your mind
Its not me that I find,
Not me…
But the image of some plastic girl that I aspire to be…
But its hard to show
Some one that I don’t know
Cant u just expect less and accept more
Coz I am what I am
Not what u want to see
If u don’t love me the way I am
what will I be ??????
Take light!!!
Coz I’m gonna try hard to b what u wanna see
Your love is all that matters to me…

Concealed Feelings




Crumbled papers


Of poems about you


Written with words


That will never come true


Written in ink


That will never fade away


The hopeful wordsI


wish I could say


Hands still shaking


As I continue to write


Scribbled letters


Of black and white


Eager to tell you


How I feel


Wishing I could prove


My love is real!!!!!

We can work it out coz you understand me
We can work it out coz when we r together
We r………….happy

We can work it out coz you r the key to my happiness
We can work it out coz our love negates the need to be undressed

We can work it out coz you said u’ve drank the wine of my love
We can work it out coz I need u when it rains from above…

We can work it out coz the same song turns us on
We have to work it out coz I’ll be numb, baby when you are gone

We can work it out coz we kissed in the rain and in the full moon night.
We can work it out coz baby coz I’ll never let you outta my sight!

We can work it out coz our love will survive death until eternity
We will work it out………wont we?

Now that we have parted our ways,

why do i still miss those days,

the moments,we have spent together,

caring for each other,sharing with each other,

the joys and sorrows of life.

i can still hear the songs

you dedicated to me.

those unsaid wordswhich reflected your heart.

i felt them within me,from the morning till the dark.

the sleepless nights that i spent,

thinking of the day we first met,

is the time i will never forget.the days,

when our souls were unite

dinspite of the distance between us.

i know,its all history

but i m still stuck in this mystery,

why do i MISS YOU even now???

my tears fall for you!!!!!




If I could dream at night


and if those dreams came true


i would force myself to sleep at night


so i could dream of you






If wishes were given to lonely people,


and if i were given just two


i would wish that you would always love me


the other i would give to you






if my tears could write love songs


Before my tears were through


you would know just how i feel


and how much i love you






But dreams are for dreamers


and wishes seldom come true


my tears do not write love songs


but when they fall....they fall for you.

did u care????


U have gone away,

breaking the strings of my heart.

i put on a false smile ,

to hide my tears from the day.

But our memoriesstill haunt me,

in the darkness of night.

Soaking my pillows,

with warm tears.

The silence within u, makes my heart shattered...

makes me wonder to u, do i even matter??

I’d rather be called every name under the sun...

u can c how it hurts me, do u find it fun??

all i whispered was a small word 'why'?..

i thought i deserved a reason for your sudden goodbye...

and still silence is the only thing there...

u wont speak so i guess, u never really cared..............

Thinking bout you.......


A "moment" when i'm alone,

Deep in your thoughts i'm flown

On an endless voyage of a dream,

That i've always cherished,

To see it as a reality in pure gleam,

To think about you,

Is just what ecstasy wud mean,

And just if this you knew
In my eyes if u could've seen,

Bliss, like strolling across fields,And the silent air touching,my soul,

reminding,me of you......I blink my sight and,am taken to you

to a land,where we laughed and grew,

where i was glad,since i was with you,

Without you, forlorn, dejected, sad,

i am, curtailed,an image so skew!!

A bead of water,rolls down my eyes,unbearable is this matter,

To convince my heart, i speak lies,

"You would be here soon" i wud say,

"and share my incompleteness"

With this I go living, day by day,

With a smile on my face lay,

From inside, emotions in a mess,

Nevertheless, "moments" wud be very few,

To think....about you.....

Show me da colours!!!!!




I can’t describe the way I feel
Can’t describe the way u deal
Deal with my heart and my mind
I request u
I plead u
Show me
Show me the colors baby
Tell me really who u r!!!!!!!!!!

The way I tremble when u touch me!
The way my heart fills with joy when I hear your voice
Or the way I think about u when I’m pensive…tells me
That I need u
I plead u
Show me
Show me the colors show me
Tell me who u really r!!!!!!!

As the sun rises in the east
Every one feels it’s a new start
But not me…
Since I know I’ve lost another day
Until u go and
Alone I will be
The void feeling inside me grow
That is why I ask u to show
Show me the colors baby
Tell me who u really r!!!!!

BABY help me
I plead u to show
How I’d survive
When you’ll go
And I’ll be left out feeling low
feeling as if the world has come to an end
But I guess I gotta survive
That is why I ask u 2 show
Show me the colors baby
Tell me who u really r!!!!!

whats LOVE????

Love…do you know what it means????
Is it just conveying your emotions through a kiss??
Or tasting the eternal bliss…Is it emotions??
Or materialistic pleasureWhat do u think? How do u measure?
I say love’s tranquil…
Like the sunlight that falls on the lake still
Like the dried leaves that rest on the lonely road.
I say love is pure…
Like the sun making love to the seas For a little while…just a little while
Or maybe your smile…definitely your smile…
I say love is incorporeal
Like the spectrum of colors that rushes into my mind every time I think about you
Or the rain, every time I’m feeling blue.........



But everything u do
Makes me fall in love with u
So don’t u think…Love is YOU???
