For The Love Of Nature...

A windy, rugged path in the woods
Littered with golden and brown....
The memories of the beautiful spring
Still scattered around
Like a haunting reminder of happiness.....
The hushed up trees
Merely rustling to voice their grief....
The song of the cuckoo
Silenced by the encroaching darkness....
The sun bids a serene adieu
As it immerses into the depths of the horizon....
The golden beauty of the limitless skies
Shadowed by the tyranny of night
All lives surrendering to the whimsical king
I stand there, merely an onlooker
A quiet spectator to the turmoil of nature.....
I see myself being mocked
I revel in the mystique of nature's expression
And nestle in its lap
My only solace....
I let loose my pain in the wild...
It dies away like the cuckoo's song
Thoughts wither off like those golden leaves
The bitterness dissolves in the darkness
And the silence quietens my aching soul
The rustling trees swallow my distress
As nature tries to pacify some human needs....
One creation bent upon the good of another
Each one,with its own bit of sacrifice
And I stop that falling tear....
I have to smile
For the love of nature....

Mon Monde Idyllique....

The silence of the night
Speaks to me
In that voice, so familiar...
The smile of the shining moon
A penetration into my dreamy trance...
The glistening of the stars
Bringing out the light in those eyes...
Those eyes, their mystifying depth
Like a hidden message
Yet to be deciphered....
Shaking off the subconscious in vain
I drown myself into the ocean of darkness...
Bathing in the coolness of the breeze
Yet a tender warmth engulfs me
The embers of emotions rekindled...
I emerge out of fantasies
Yet desires soar
Like a caged bird
Released after an eternity
Eager to spread its wings
To master its own life...
I stare at my reflection
Yet its not me that I see
I try to blink away my imagination
Yet there lies a craving
A craving for another glance...
As the image dissolves into nothingness...
As the night falls into its peaceful slumber...
As the breeze brushes past my soul...
I smile at myself
As the innocent, childish laughter
Rings in my ears again...
I continue to dwell, in my idyllic world....

Sister...

A part of their lives
Too beautiful for words
When nature gifted a bundle of joy
To a quiet little girl
"Here you are
With your own sapling to nurture
A part of you
Eager to be loved"
A strange look into those smiling eyes
A sudden spark of affection for the new born child
And thus began a journey
Of little joys, silly fights,
Big secrets, countless tears
Silent giggles, and terrifying fears
A boon for one
A bliss for the other
The closest they were, to one another
Her laughter became the happiness of the little one
Her love and care, deeply rooted in the child
The world started,
And always ended with her sister.....
Today, she sits lost in thoughts
A look at the framed memories......
The laughter, filling the rainbow with colours
Rings in her ears.....
The longing for a comforting shoulder
A gentle caress,
A loving kiss, and a warm embrace
Remind her of the happiness
The happiness of knowing that you're loved
Of each moment that they spent
Sharing themselves......
The thought of her smiling face
Makes her eyes moist.....
Yet she satisfies herself with the belief
That no matter when
And no matter where, each of the two are
For them, "sister" will always spell life....

Rain dance....

The silent darkness of the clouds
Conspiring against the brightness of the sun.....
And then, a sudden playful patter
The sky flashes its thunderous smile
As the irresistible scent of wet earth
Provokes the child in her heart.....
She rushes out with gleeful excitement
A twinkle in those beautiful eyes....
She stands amidst the raining drops
Spreading her arms
Embracing infinity......
The wind playing with her hair
She takes in a soulful breath......
With the loving smile on her lips
Tears glisten in her eyes......
Yet today, she lets go of life
Reliving, for once, in the arms of the heavens
Letting the showers chastise her soul
Rejuvenate her spirit
And revive the simple bliss
In living up every moment......
She shoves off the clutches
Of baseless worries, of painful fears
As the rain drenches her skin
Satisfying her thirsty soul.....
She looks up at the welcoming sky
The raindrops kiss her smiling countenance....
She looks like a blossoming bud
Bathed in the first shower
Today, nature makes her fall in love....
In love, with herself....
She gives happiness another chance
And loses herself in the rhythm of the thunder
In the music of the monsoon
As the Gods above
Colorfully chuckle at her rain dance......

Engourdissement Mortel...

The sound of rain, hitting viciously against the roof
The flash of the fierce lightning
As if nature is incensed by the mortals
The ruthless noise of thunder
A warning for more than what is expected
I stir,from my trance
The open- eyed sleep
Being immersed in sub conscious thoughts
And gaze again, out of the window pane
A watery vision of the sudden, immobile world
I see joy and satisfaction in those eyes
Which happily look out
And relish the showers of the monsoon
Such striking difference, between them, and me
What makes my instincts
Bend towards the darker side of life?
A question answered by emotions
The piercing pain,
Pain of losing faith in words,
The regret,
Regret of misplacing the very meaning of life
The anger,
Anger of fruitlessly reasoning with the inexplicable
The anguish,
Anguish of being left with an unanswered "Why"
All this, racing through the memories
The haunting laughter, the forgotten love
Yet, I sit in contrast with the weeping skies
The eyes are dry like the dead rose in my diary
Uncaring about the raw, open wounds
Silence engulfs my soul
As I re immerse into the depths of me
Glassy eyed
Surrounded by, a lethal numbness....

The First Meet...

The setting sun,
Washing the horizon with the final drops of gold,
The trees swaying to the tune of a light breeze...
The last song of the cuckoo
Like a note of farewell for the day...
And the living, settling for comfort
Some relief in exhaustion...
Yet I stand here idly
Looking into nothingness for an eternity...
With thoughts brimming in the mind
The heart, losing its control over emotions
I wait tirelessly
For the much anticipated...
My soul, restless with impatience
I look forward
To a timeless glance in your eyes.....
To feel your gentle touch
To drown myself in the ocean of love
As my life takes shape
Into someone as special as you....
My eyes look at the deserted, rugged path
It is yet to be glorified by your presence
They search in anxiety
For a sight of that silhouette
The human form of my desires....
All memories rush back n forth
As I attempt to take a hold on myself
Though I know it is futile....
I have to let go of me
Today, none will listen...
My heart, my mind, my soul
All possessed by passion....
All wait to get engrossed in you....
With Time at a stand still,
I wait here to lose myself in your loving embrace...
To bask in the warmth of happiness
The happiness, of fulfilled desires..
I wait here, my love, to meet you....

You...

I hear the sound of laughter
As bright as sunshine
Wondering, I turn back
Is that you?
I sigh, once again
Another illusion....
Another imaginary version of you...
Your gaze...your smile...
Your touch...your warmth...
Your presence...your feel...
Seconds, minutes, hours and days
Pass on, without another glance at me
The world goes round
Every soul taking a new step
On the path of life...
Yet, I stand still
Amidst the rush moving forward
Recalling every moment....
Absorbing it, cherishing it
Smiling...and reliving life again
The gentleness, the care
Giving me an inner glow of beauty
Your pure and patient heart
Teaching me the security of trust
Those beautiful eyes
Speaking the unspeakable....
I sense you lovingly hold my hand
When I find myself stumbling on the sharp rocks
The sharpness, that I wont be able to discover
You wont let me...
The playful whisper in my ears
Even the breeze reminds me
Of the soft mischief in your voice....
There you are...
How can this be false?
I see you smile at me
It gives me inexplicable joy
A happiness, that knows no limit
I shut my eyes...
Isn't this a dream?
No, it isn't....you still stand there...
I fall in love with you all over again...
Oh how can I push you away?
You were, you have and always will
Reside where you belong...
You will, my love, live in me...
