We were never strangers...

All the time, when we were near...

We were never strangers.We were some old souls, soaked in our own warmth... in our own minds...on crossroads. Waving at each other... sharing smiles. 

We were never strangers, when we could feel how our hearts fluttered, in the crowd of two. We knew how much deep the darkness we have held inside...how much our lights have peeped inside, the cracks that were only scars and not fresh wounds...

We were  never strangers to the fact, that we were not even friends but we were also not enemies.

We were strangers to ourselves...playing along the line... of ignoring our reflections in each other... we were two lonely souls, connected by a single smile. We were two wounded hearts, connected by a single dream. We were two stupid people, holding guns over each other... with only a bullet left in it.

We were never strangers...for we were the two lines of the single song...the song that was never audible to others, as they were deaf and we...we were two blind people... searching each other in the midst of a wrecked drowning ship...

We were never strangers...how could we... for we were never meant to be... strangers after all.

All you need to have.

Sometimes, you fall in leaves and sometimes, you wait in morning dews...

Love is planted in each heart, all have a heart but love happens to a Few...

Sometimes, you laugh in each flower and sometimes, you cry in rains...

Love fulfils its purpose but all go through a similar pain...

Sometimes, you glow in the light and sometimes, you drown in the darkness...

Love ignites a storm and also holds a calmness.

Sometimes, you know all answers and sometimes, you fear to question.

Love makes all things clear but all you have is a big confusion...

Sometimes, Love is all you need...

And sometimes, it is the only thing you have.

The cupid and me...

You got it bad huh??? Very bad!!! Admit babes... you felll in love at an unexpected moment...caught offguard...why did you let down your guard? What did you think...you could fool the cupid?

His arrow didn't pierce you from the front but behind! He trapped you in his eyes before setting his aim...

He pulled it at a time...when you couldn't do anything...

Wake up you fool...you're getting drunk in the wine of love... which has no antidote...either you'll kill yourself by drowning in him or yourself...both will result in brutal death.

If you drown in his eyes, he would devour your soul and shatter you with your own will. And if he leaves... you'll drown in yourself...left to innumerable questions, tormenting you mercilessly... you'll drown in yourself... in the dark... pleading to die...to close your eyes for once just not to wake again...Such brutality in the hands of Love...

"Yupp....quiet you!!! Why do you care? You need not! Do you get that... you dont even know how it feels...let me embrace this moment of a lifetime...the pleasure of death in the hands of love...where the winner loses more than the loser himself... what do you think will happen??? I'll kill myself?

No!!! Love cannot kill you...it will make you live forever in just a drop that quenches the thirst of several lives... it only makes you alive after a death which you presumed life....this is the actual beginning of a life...of a hermit... with love in for something which can never be explained in words...people would call me mad, out of mind but they don't know what my eyes see and what they are blind to...

They see the light stronger than the darkness and I see light as a speck of dust, in this dark universe;  where these lights hang in balls in the invisible horizons... roaming like nomads...I see this light as a mere spectator when all darkness is embracing the light...merging in it...dying to give its life, so that you may see how light looks like while the darkness smiles...it can only fade but never end.

I see myself nowhere yet everywhere ...I find the same  song which deepens the conscience...which even in this loneliness, crowds my mind with thoughts of him...I become inseparable...I become not a part but him..."

Trespassers

Abandon this place...

It's a no man's land...

Trespassing would fail...

As you could never leave...

All it appears is hazy...

The fog appears never to leave...

How will you find your way...

In this barren world unseen...

Some torn paintings...

Across broken walls...

The paint of which...

Is damp and cold...

Tired windows peeping out...

The doors hold some "nothings" inside...

The ceiling is full of stars of dreams...

Which hide behind cobwebs...ripped!

The dusty tables gaze at shadows...

Of books that lie at million truths...

The floor holding walls upright...

Was playfully slippery once upon a time...

Now lies beneath...

Dust of time...

Some riddles across the walls...

Have become the pictures of the lost...

Toys wrapped in papers of dust...

Lie scattered like the early morning mist...

You'll never get anything here...

But you cannot leave without a tear...

Trapped whispers in hinges of doors scream...

Lonely places are really very lonely...

They talk of shadows and the light...

But not about how and why...

Anonymous people have been living in this darkness...

And innumerable ran away frightened...

Many wanted to steal what's not theirs...

Ended up being stolen of their breaths here...

A far away dream 

Becomes a nightmare here...

It's this world that has 

Never been so mysteriously dangerous before..

Don't think of crossing the barriers...

You'll surely end up dead here.

Before I walk away...

Before I walk away....let me tell you ....why your eyes distracted me....

It were like my dreams shined....in your eyes like a stream.....

Your heartbeat I could recognise....from a crowd of so many....

Yet my heart didn't understand.... I was not your dream....

So let my heart go free....Of your hands let me flee...

Even though I know...It would take a lifetime for me...

To forget you and restrain...

My heart from loving you again and again....

So I walk alone....along with me your memories....

Until the dawn rises again...am shattered, I Am weak....

To be strong is ....not to hide what...makes you blind in lights....

To be weak is...not to accept....what makes you go on your knees....

In darkness....I crush my dreams....

In lights.....I smile like a queen....

Distinguished this long ago...

Love is not a song....

That everyone can sing....

It's tune would....always change with...every scream...

So close your eyes....that I may not find....

My single dream in your eyes....

So close your lips...

That I may not find ...my smiles in them....

Turn around and run away....I can't stay to call you mine.....

So I say a little prayer....That I may not ...

Never be there....

Where you would find me and my dreams....

Until the dusk melts into the dark night....

I would walk away.... from you and your face.

Unknown Forever.....

Underneath the heap...

I remain in the dust to be found...

Like a folk poetry mysterious...

Am sung too loud...

But known a little is my story......
Like a forgotten tale of misery...
I whisper...
Hear me... Do you?
Can you?
Like the darkness of the cave...
My heart reflects the corners ...
You can enter but still be lost...
Am there and still to be found...
I can chase your thoughts...
And follow your heartbeats...
To reach your soul shaking with fear...
To your shadow, trembling with my name...
I echo the melting dawns into dusks...
I echo the moon drifting to perish...
Come find me in your darkness...
Unclear, conflicting, contradicting...
Your own conscience and rationalism..

A folklore...

I am ...

Untimed, unturned, in tune...

Come hear me when there's only you...

And you'll find only me...

May be I am asking you....

To hold on to my rhythm...

And find me again ...

Like a dream...

Alive again from the dust...

That has stuck with passing time...

The ones who knew me, now lay asleep...

In the coffins of dead tunes once new...

And I roam half sung , unfinished...

Haunting myself like a rising smoke...

Losing my breath over years...

May be its time I leave...

Unfound, unheard....ever

Unknown forever...

My Shadow....

In hope of the rising sun.....

The night dances with the breeze....

Shadows dance with darkness hand in hand....

All day, lying under the feet....

How come you are not hurt dear shadow....

Under my foot the whole day.....

Sometimes behind and sometimes ahead....

Yet in darkness, you become me and I become you....



Mingling in each other You my shadow...

And I the darkness I hold in me....

You are not a shadow but me ,that oblique...

Who fights to stay alive like me....



Mirroring my reflection on the floor...

Making the floor know more....

You are not a body,yet....

You are me all the more....



You touch the ends of mine.....

Making a wish to join me back....

But not a moment I weep....

On this impossible opportunity....



In darkness, we are one....

You hide in me, I confide in You...

And what else I may choose....

You remain with me , I remain with You...



You leave me in brightness all alone...

And sometimes tease me, following me from nowhere....

And then you show me the way by walking ahead of me....

And at last join me to sleep....

The Oblivion......

 As I opened my eyes

To the day's clear light.....



I found the nightmare standing

Near the foot of my bed.....



As long as I can recall.....

The hushing songs of the dark....



I recall that hooded being...

Whose face had a scar....



Being dragged back

To the unknown



My eyes shunned away

From the light....



I am helpless in the darkness.....

I am prisoner of its might....



A loud mourn from the corner....

Chills me to the bones.....



The shriek is so deafening....

And I realize I will fall.....



Falling into the oblivion.....

A place existed, I forgot.....



Shaking off that I had forgotten....

I try to pick up the pieces and fill in the gaps....



I try to find my way.....

Out of this haze and fog.....



I cannot see the way ahead.....

The darkness blindfolded my eyes....



How can this oblivion be so silent.....

Not a being is to be seen.....



Unheard voices whisper .....

I keep looking from where they emerge....



Like a shadow melting in the dark.....

The strange nightmare  vanishes at last.....



Still following me in the dark.....

The hooded silhouette stands.....



Behind the tree, hidden......

Like watching over me....



I have lost much time.....

In confusion......



Like I have lost myself.....

In my own Oblivion.....



I submerge in my thoughts....

Again and again....



My eyes  feel terrified....

But with no pain.....



I am helpless.....

Who will help?



Will I know....

What's in the well?



A shadow of mine...

Reflects back as if a stranger....



Will she help me?

Or just run away like a traitor....



I lend my hand to her.....

She grabs and comes out....



Its like me returning....

From the well....



Out of my doubts....

Out of all I thought was deep....



I sunk in my own oblivion....

Now I arise with this new hope....



I have found at last...

It was me who followed....



The unexplored....

The stranger.....



That black hooded....

The nightmare....



The shadow....

The reflection....



I am facing myself now....

All questions answered at last....



I needed to know myself....

I refused long ago to seek....



Now I know why she followed.....

It was me who was a stranger after all...

The Day will follow.....

The morning sun on its way.....
Climbs up and there it stays.....

How boring is to wait alone.....
To see all going home....

The noon got shunned away.....
The orange, yellow light died at bay.....

What made it, casted a spell.....
And down went the orange jewel....



The shades of clouds that made no sound......
Moved as if in a jungle , moves a hound.....

The prey is hidden well in the cave.....
And the predator is on its way......



Shadows approach and lay on the ground.....
Knowing well, below they will be found.....

When the darkness overtakes....
It will be felt in every place.....



But it's still time for eyes to close.....
Put off the lights and close the doors....

The stars begin to twinkle their smiles.....
And the sky looks like a beautiful bride.....



The silence singing its song to the ears.....
You don't notice, yet so near.....

Overtaking your tired body and soul....

Dreaming with eyes closed......



And all is this....
The day will follow every night.....
And it never does rest in quiet....

 

Silent Dusk.......

Silent
is the dusk......

When darkness sets its arms to touch.......



The orange
shadows of its pleasure ......

 Left in the east to set in the
west.........



And still beholding the loneliness..... 

Which stops at bay
in a silent melody.......



In this silence...... 

When night falls in love with the dusk.....



Reaching to hug it near the shores......

And whispers in it's ears ......



The moment they meet......

Is only this.......



For dusk reunites with the dark......

And celebrate happily the day's end.....



Dusk meets itself 

mirroring the darkness within...



Holding in arms the night like a bride......

kissing it after day's bright light.....



Night dances until it is weak.....

And on its knees, it comes with ease.....



Leaving the dusk on one end.....

It says goodbye for another hunt......



Dusk remains in the bed......

Till evening chants its name again.....



And when it wakes only to hold.....

The night and say goodbye at last.....
