It's time...

May be it's time to leave...

The dreams that I had been holding...

In my eyes for long.

They were of you, but I dont see them coming true in any time.

Some dreams should be left to shimmer on cheeks...they never become reality, but the reason of our sadness...

You were someone, whom I see and become happy, but I realise that slowly, you are eating away my smiles bit by bit....

It's hard to take all this anymore.... either stay or just go.... 

Whom am I talking to... you dont even know, how it feels to be in love with a memory, that has been carved out like a inscription...only to be fade... mildly each time, I sleep with tears in my eyes.

Just one day more....

Just one day more....

Everyday when you kiss my hair...

I embrace that kiss to my soul...

Just one day more...
Tomorrow again...

When the birds chirp on the trees...

And dew glows on the leaves...

Just one day more...

Tomorrow again...

When the day flies wild as a wind...

You fill my every moment...

Just one day more...

Tomorrow again...

When dusk arrives with orange sky...

I sense you close near by...

Just one day more...

Tomorrow again...

The night dances in her shimmering gown...

But I stay awake, to see you sleep...

Just one day more....

Tomorrow again...

When there's no tomorrow...

Just keep me in your dreams...

I'll visit you every night...

And tell you all the while...

That love is never made...

It rises in the hearts...

In the sea, like a wave...

And carry you away...

Like a wind carries leaves...

Dry, separated from the trees...

Hearts carry love...

To each other when they meet...

Just one day more...

Tomorrow again...

I shall rise in dreams...

To wake you up...

Forever to love...

To love me.

Attractions...

Attractions ablaze...

Fuming desires...

Eyes contain...

Hidden desires...

Locked in dreams...

In sleep rising higher...

To the unknown territory...

No passport required...

Only a gaze temporary...

And permanent becomes a memory...

All of Me...

I give you all of me...

Till the last dream...

Had I not told this...

It's only you and me...

Voyages may end somewhere...

And I end up in you...

Pictures may fade with time...

I will always fade in you...

What love? what life...

What dreams, I can have...

It's not alone that I wish to be...

If all it is, it's only you and me...

I gather moments...

I gather you in each of them..

What can be precious to me...

Its only you , its only me...

I never have something to see...

If life is on and you not near me...

This world would stop revolving...

If there is no you, then there's no me...

Without Dreams (Inspired By Lawanya Wijesekara's poem)

Inspired by Lawanya Wijesekara 's poem," Dreams never made sense to her..."

She lived without dreams...

So attracted wisdom not preached...

When she started to dream...
She joined others to cry and weep...

Without dreams...

She was unconquerable...

And with dreams, all doubted...

Her strength including her...

Without dreams...

She appreciated the creator...

And with dreams...

She tried colouring only hers...

Without dreams...

She was a puzzle to others...

And with dreams...

A prey to the ferocious predator...

Without a dream...

Every direction leading somewhere...

And with a dream...

Always finding herself nowhere...

Say nothing...

Grab my fears, as if a pillow...

Pull off each feather inside...

Hold my tear as if its dew...

Sprinkle some in the eye...

Drag my dreams as if blindfolded....

To the dawn of reality...

.

Wash off my troubles as if soap...

And clean my soul with your love...

Turn off everything, embracing the silence...

And hear only the beating of hearts....

Say nothing and still say everything...

With eyes reading what I hide...

An empty heart...

I broke the glass of words today...

In the room filled with silence...

It shattered on the floor crushing away...

Some voices, some dreams I say...

On the floor, I see some tears...

Weeping away the words you spoke...

Some anger burning my words...

May be they are now free to smoke...

Some giggles like ripples...

Rise above like invisible...

Some whispers, tremble...

Echoing to fade forever...

Some moments as if quiet...

See me and my plight...

I kneel on my knees...

Wiping the dust I see...

Simple glass was this...

Was once full of dreams...

Now lay shattered pieces...

Nothing left but an empty heart...

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....

 

Can I hold your Heart?

Can I hold your heart for a while.......

Till you feel it is alright........

Can I give you both my eyes......

For you to look deep inside......



It's no world to say......

How to live.......

And how to love........

It's no world to say......

How to choose

And how to let go of the past.....





Can I kiss you on your hand.......

To ease the pain you hold inside.......

Can I hold you a little tight.....

Till you leave away the coldness out right.....



It's no world to say....

How to make...

How to destroy......

It's no world to say.....

How to be .....

Yourself in life....





Come on let me hold your heart.....

Till it loses all its scars...

Come on let me hold it so light.....

To feel that softness inside.....



Take my shoulder to cry.....

Come lets make these tears dry.....

Where is that smile......

Oh! Where did you hide it......

Where is that love......

Oh! Please tell me where is it?





Come forget what hurt you then.....

Come hold this very moment.....

Come embrace your life once again......

Come now there's new life to begin.....







Now smile my friend....

Its the end.....

Now can we talk?

May this day begin....

All again....

With you on my side......



Lets play a game dear.....

Come on, do not fear.....

I have your heart in my hand.....

Just let me understand.....



Take my word for it.....

Just forget.....

Make me your smile.......

Give those tears to me.....

And worries.....

And let go of that pain inside....





Will you give me chance.....

To hold it and place in my life....

I will give you mine, not for a while....

But till the end of the times...

.



I would love to be yours...

Making your dreams and

 hopes come true

Come lets be not two

But one soul ,me in you....



Its one life to be lived....

With you and me for a while....

When time will end....

I will be yours and you mine...



I love you and I can't hide....

It's the tears in your eyes...

That I don't want to find.....

I just love to see...

That pretty smile...



Come on  give me a chance .....

I will prove my worth.......

Can I hold your hand for a while....

And have it in my hand...



Will I get your hand , my dear.....

Or you have some other fear?

Just know this, I am waiting for you ......

And I shall keep waiting for you for lifetime.....

Now its time for you to decide....

Now its time for you to be mine......

Now its time for you to make it happen...

Come on say YES and join me as my life...

My Lost Diary

Found my lost diary,

Today in a treasure hunt.

Like a ray of dawn,

It emerged like a song.





Like an orphan it lay,

Helpless in the corner, 

Waiting with expecting eyes,

For someone to hold over.





The cover had a sad face,

Which shined on seeing me.

I held it up to my heart,

Like I found a Friend at last.



Like in a chilly weather,

I felt a warming hug.

I took it in my hands,

And recalled my silent charms.







A child in me,

So happy to be.

With that diary,

Like a humming bee.





I opened it with care,

Touched it gently, being aware.

It was years back, I lost,

But vowed to find it at any cost.





My memories remained ...

In the words I crafted....

Those little words

With silly secret meanings.



My day long journeys

My dreams of nights

My emotions, my devotions

My crushes, my infatuations

My confusions, my confessions,

My assumptions, my confirmations,

My tales, my nightmares

My admirations, my stupid exaggerations,

And everything .....

From something to nothing

And then, from nothing to something...





Pages of my childhood dreams,

Calling my eyes to cherish.

Again and again to laugh,

At those innocent spelling mistakes.



Just a graph to show How I went through,

And where I had come.

How it started one day

And so many moments after that,

Locked in those words on those pages....

Bathed in Pain

                    I was always envious of my mother. She was very beautiful. No one could stand her charm and grace, that is what I always thought.On that day, when she stood next to me at the bus stand for my school bus, it was the last time she came out with me.I remember clearly, I was 6 that time in class I. She was wearing a floral printed pink saree, when two men on their motorbike came near us.They had an unusual look of hatred and anger on their faces. Before we could understand, one of them took out a bottle with something in it. In a flash the whole solution was on my mamma's beautiful face.She pushed me behind like she knew what they threw and faced all what fate had  in store for her.





                   Those men raced their bikes and were nowhere to be seen.Only my mamma's screeches were what I heard then. People were just watching the show, but no one came forward to help her or me.I could not understand what was going on. Then somebody called an ambulance and that old uncle accompanied me to the hospital. He took my dad's number and informed him too. At the hospital, the doctors were just doing their job, no one was telling what happened. My father sent me to my granny's house . He thought I will not be able to bear my mamma's new face.







                    After 6 months I returned home.The time I lived with my granny was very tiring. I wanted to see my mother very badly. I insisted and finally got home. My mamma was in her room, the room was dark, the lights were off. My Dad didn't allow me to go in her room. He tried to explain me that my mamma was in depression and pain. Those people attacked her with acid which burned her face that I was so envious of. I assured that I won't make noise or disturb her. I went inside slowly, she was there, sitting and looking at a vase with roses. She noticed me and called aloud my name " Manjari, Manjari". It was  then I saw the horror. I saw her face was just like a shattered glass. Her eyes, they sunk inside and half of her face was with scars. I wasn't afraid but I was sad to see that my beautiful mamma was in so much pain and I left her alone when she needed me the most. I ran to her. She hugged me tight.Tight to her chest, I could hear her heartbeat.She was sobbing, calling out my name again and again."Oh Manjari, my child where were you? How are you? I missed you so much. I longed to see you. I thought may be I will die without seeing you. But look here are you. Just don't leave me , just don't."







                     I had no words I was crying and my tears were unstoppable when my Dad scolded me and brought me out of the room. I wasn't frightened of my mamma's face but I was angry why it happened with her. Why?I did not get my answers then, because I was a kid . But that incident hollowed me from inside. It was like I lost a jewel so precious. But I love her more than ever and I just want to say that people who did that to her were no more than ugly themselves.Whatever may be the reason for their hatred but it was not any solution for their unfulfilled intentions. Issues can be resolved but can they give back her lost face and her self confidence???
