~CHASTITY WOODS~


Long, languorous walks by Chastity woods,
Frolicking winds and froggy hoods

Walking hand in hand,
Peering at the verdant land

Inhaling the whiff of crisp spring leaves,
Laughing about our pet peeves

Nuzzling up to a sweet banter,
Whimsical emotions stealthily saunter

Gazing at her hazel eyes,
Startled by a parakeet's cacophonic cries

Rebuking the intruder with frivolous bamboozle,
Longing eyes that continue the carousal

Give in to the patch of green,
Regaling in our new found love’s sheen

Chastity woods is all so pure,
Another redolent love gives into its lure

And it Rains...

Threatening to lash out
in all their fury
Your words rained on me incessantly.

Scathing, scalding and shattering
the sheer foundation
of my being
Your words rained on me incessantly.

Engulfing my taut skin-
hurling sting after sting
Shaking the sheer foundation
of my being
Your words rained on me incessantly.

Booming like a cloud burst–
thundering and overpowering
Devastating the sheer foundation
of my being
Your words rained on me incessantly.

Uncoiling their serpentine fang-
spewing venom
Ebbing the sheer foundation
of my being
Your words rained on me incessantly.

Groping out into the darkness,
grappling with my destiny;
A steady hand reached out to me…
As your words rained incessantly on me.

Healing my septic soul
with a mere touch-
Soothing my wilting spirits;
And dissolving the fears
festering within;
Calming the sheer foundation
of my being
As it went on to rain incessantly within me.


Annihilating the scars,
your words left behind–
Burying them into the grave
of the past
As it went on to rain incessantly within me.


The Seraph of my Life-
now guides and directs me
Stirring the sheer lightness
of my being –
Showering and loving me
As it continues to rain incessantly within me
...like never before.

~Cosmicrain~

The nebulous nimbus
bursts
into a pitter- patter dance

Enchanting the mogra
into
a magical trance

The parched gulnar
sways
to a lilting tune

The dusty haze, now
enshrines
a crystal rainbow

Glistening across
our
hypnotic horizon

~Desolate~

Parched land,
rents the air
A vacuous cry,
berates the sky

A lone robin
stares,
as the last drop
falls prey;
to a land
that reverberates,
to a death knell

Death?

“The vacuous
death- knell,
sounded off
by you

Was just
another awakening,
for us
to start anew”

Silence

“In the aura of silence
my soul
learnt
to speak wise

In the aura of silence
my soul
found
the path to light”

~~Words~~

~~WORDS~~


Words could play hide and seek
Too wary, too meek
Lest the unheard speak

Words could create a commotion
Dispelling unfathomable notions
Giving way to random thought potions

Words could slash like a knife
Creating much pain and strife
Spreading bitterness all around life

Words could simply propel smiles
Changing the course of many a lives
Leaving their imprints in mind’s archives

~~Spring~~

~~My Will ‘O Wisp Spring~~


Oh! Spring, spring,
What shall you bring?

Wispy clouds with silver linings
Balmy breeze that seem to be dancing

A cuckoo bird flapping its wings
Melancholic hearts that sing

Riot of colours suddenly bursting
Frolicking souls giving in

A star spangled night whispering
Many a hearts entwining

Little daisies simply smiling
Yet another new beginning

~~That’s My Spring~~


Spring, spring
Why do you want to hide
That’s how the flowers cried

The cold winter made us sad
The summer will make us happy

Why don’t you make us flower
Why are you so far
Come to us with your power

Surround us with your love & care
So we shall say a prayer
Spring we want you everywhere

~~Pain~~

Why
Does my heart wrench
Why does my soul drench
In your thoughts
Why does the chasm
Widen
Why does this ache
Only sadden
My heart

Why
Does the pain only grow
Why cant it just slow
Why do I need you so
That each moment passes
And the ache only surpasses
With the boundaries of time

Why does this pain
Inflame
Kneading,
Throbbing,
Hammering
My heart
Like a fire dart

Why
Do I ache
To be by your side
To soak in your love
To be held in your arms
Or to just have you around

Why
Cant I just tide
Or simply hide
My feelings
Inundate my mind
With our memories
Frozen in time

~~Conflicting Souls~~

Conflicting souls
Refuse
To console
Like jagged edges
Of a knife
The clashing hearts
Create more strife

My heart bleeds
In Pain
Am I going
Insane?
Are these
Tears just
In vain?

Why do those
Words cut?
Why does the
Distance hurt?
Why cant the
Pain depart?
Why cant
We make a
Brand new start?

Why do we
Let the miles
Come in between?
Why can’t we smile?
And make it worthwhile?

You said
I am precious
So why get sucked?
In this vicious
Conflict game?

For chrissake
We shall not fake
Just tame
This moment
Work through
This intricate maze
And clear the haze

And simply make up
For each other’s sake
Coz this love is
Something we shall
Never forsake

~~Six Days hence, Coffee in the Present Tense~~

Six days hence
You & I
Will
Simply Sense

That time
And tide
Just make
No sense

Coz the
Coffee
We share
In the
Present tense
Is all
That makes sense

Coz Six days hence
And Coffee in the
Present Tense
Are meant to
Simply
Fill up
Our sense
And our lives
Together till the end

~~Mon’ Amour~~

My eyes
Searched for you
My heart
Ached for you
With bated breath
I waited

For you
To walk into my life
And end all the strife
To take my breath away
To sweep me away
Into your arms
In a glorious trance

Our hearts together
Now shall sway
Together we shall break free
From the shackles
Of the mundane love story
To start
Our brand new story
Sprinkled
With love, care and no worry

Together
We shall live each day
Cherish every moment
That comes our way
Tread the path
Laden with thorns and sand
All but, hand in hand

Our world
Will cease
To exist
Sans each other
As it’s no longer
You and I
But us together
This promise we shall
Forever keep

Cradled in each others arms
Every night we sleep
And pick each other
Into our dreams
Dreams that will make
Our tomorrow’s sweet
Our love is forever
For us to keep

~~Blissful Again~~

Engaged in a
Nitter Natter
Post that
Angst
Thanks to our
Conflict swatter

No discontent
No foibles
Just plain simple
Beguiling smiles

No more
Tormented souls
Just our frolicking hearts
That refuse to part

Opening up
To new moments
Nuzzling up
To the missing scents
Lying together
In each others arms
So totally spent


Making way
For more love
And whoever said
Conflicts portend
An end!
For us
It’s yet another
Beginning
Of a brand new
Homecoming

~~Joy & Pain~~

Joy & Pain


The stupor of Joy
The succinct medley of emotions

The ordeal of Pain
The orgasmic meaning to life

The painted mannequins of desire
The riveting surge of passion

Joy & Pain the lethal concoction
Sans each other
Meaningless…As roses without thorns

~~Sundance~~

Twirling
To the rhythm of time
Swaying
In our glorious sunshine
Encapsulated
With the sands of time

Rhapsodic moments
That touch the mind
Swirling winds
That closely entwine

Unending surge
Of passion
Shattering
The barriers of time
Basking
In our Passion Play
Transcending
The limits of time
Peaking with the skies
Into an amorous cry

Clamped
Together in our mind
Moments
That make way
For our sunshine
