Life Changes

When I was a little girl, some time ago
I had relished simple things
I had played games with friends
We defeated unknown enemies
and peace we did restore
We lined up as soldiers
And marched to and fro
We made a sneak attack
against a hypothetical foe
We roamed in the fields
and rode a imaginary bike
I have picked wild flowers
or chased a butterfly
I had enjoyed the meadow on sunny spring days,
feeling the breeze in my hair
I had flied a kite or watched passing clouds
As they moved in the sky, way up there
Sometimes I built a sand castle
and guarded it till nigh
But its past and so long ago
A time that is now far away
A time I can only recapture in dreams
A time that I crave for each day
Oh how time changes people
No longer is it full of play
Or watching white clouds dance high in the sky,
No longer is it full of play
To watch the birds fly and flock by
For adulthood has got in the way

In the silence of the night ...

In the silence of the night
I hear those shrills of our fight
and my mind starts to wander,
I begin to reflect and ponder
On those nasty memories
On those etching worries
It begins to pain,
Then tears flood my eyes again
making my pillow wet
In the silence of the night
Once again,
my heart chooses to remember
what my mind wishes to forget!

your pic in my album!

I came across your pic in my album today,
and flipped the page before I glance at your face
Quickly looked away!
Gasping, I waited, braced myself

A ball started rolling in my throat
grabbing upon my heart, the pain started
the same pain that had haunted me
years back...when you went away
the hurt was very intense then
everything was over soon

Time blunted the anger I thought
But today I felt the wound deep in
When I came across your pic in my album today
And I quickly looked away!

Someday I will try and love again,
Don't know whether I will
I'll just guard my heart for now
and let my contuse heal

The day you left

It rained madly, the day you left
Thunder and lighting breaking the sky
Brutally and roughly the water drops falling.
As I stared out of my window,
Rain and thunder was the only sound.

How did you leave me, on such a frightful day?
How did you leave me, so easily and walk away?

Love was in my heart and I called you back,
You didn’t turn not even to say good-bye!
You didn’t hear me in the sound of the rain
I believe because
It rained madly, the day you left

Alone!

As the evening transforms into night
Your merciless silhouette starts eating my shadow
Under the orange sky
I lay motionless
Arrested in the tangerine veil
Looking at the murky bare firmament
Like a thread less marionette
My tear drops reflecting your face
Alone in the multitude
Hearing those barren lands laughing at me!

the nest...

On the window pane
Is a pigeon's nest,
And in the nest
Her one egg rest.

And in the egg--
Hush, you'll be heard!--
There lies asleep
A tiny bird.....

psst....a pigeon's egg on my lab window pane as caught in my canon

where the passion-flower grows!!

There is a way in the jungle
A murky way…a thorny way
Difficult, dark and scary
Leading to mystical old banyan tree

A colossal tree.. 100 years old
And in the trunk… there is a cave
Consuming is the creepy cave
I wanna take you there

Holding your hands
A tentative endeavor
As our feelings overflow
It is where the passion-flower grows

Walking down the cave
Never ending wet eerie darkness
Searching for a streak of light
Losing my path with you

Trapped to entwine
To an ecstasy that can be embraced
Finding the climber
In which the passion-flower grows

To feel our mind exploding
In the heavy scented air
To experience the shudder
As we are conquered unaware

Fainting in its fragrance
A little touch of heaven
Where imagination flows
Freezing our dreams to live forever in love

seize the moment!

As the green leaves turn into brown,
They leave their hold on stems and flutter down.
As the aroma of the seas join the night breeze
And the newborn stars start filling the trees.

I am wondering since the day I fell in love
With the vast stretches of night sky and the twinkles above
Silent words through my eyes retreat,
As dewdrops lay deep on my face and feet

Dark clouds blanketing like the thoughts in mind,
And I stare back at the boulevard I’ve just left behind.
Life on the edge of maple grass leaf brims on the surface of the land,
It grows and blooms as crimson across the sand

The sound of the waves, brushing against my past inside
Like the sand sticking on to my feet and my longing for them to slide.
As I walk ahead towards my goal on the road I see others running past.
The dust they kick up and the aura never lasts

But no one ever stops running just to lie on that sand–
To break free from the world, seize the moment, and to hold our dreams in our hand.
