A lepidopterist.

                                                                          Love sets you free

                                                                     It doesn’t incarcerate.

                                                                        Love is a language

                                                                       one need not speak.

                                                                    Love is like a gust of wind

                                                                    one can’t see, yet feel it.

                                                                    Love knows how to give,

                                                                                It sighs.

                                                                        Love is a falling star

                                                                   in the heavenly firmament

                                                                    that takes you nowhere

                                                                      Yet makes you smile

                                                                      When you chase it !

                                                              Love makes you a ‘lepidopterist’,

                                                       makes you collect those lil’ beautiful wings

                                                            but never makes you count them.

                                                                    Love teaches you life

                                                                    it makes you want to

                                                                        Know yourself

                                                                      What are you for

                                                                   that too on purpose.

                                                                         Love writhes,

                                                                    it makes you moan

                                                                     but with no noise.

                                                                    Love makes sense

                                                                 when you are senseless.

                                                               Love makes you thank God

                                                                       thrice in a day.

                                                                      Love is opaque,

                                                              makes you succumbed to it.

                                                        The moon becomes eerily luminous

                                                                  when you are in love.

                                                                           Love,

         Love makes you beautiful..

A chronic illness – love .

No more I wish to see

A time machine

That a month can be ,

No more stable my soul can be

Blue-pink,white,black

I never imagined

“This world – A photograph”.

Like a new life waiting

on an empty street,

“Thousand faces – one expression” !!

I don’t  possess much now

Just a drab ill-will,

Luck with the bubble burst

and a notable poached heart  !!

May be I am longer

The-me

I used to be.

 

 

-Yet a breeze blows,

blows often,

blows me away ,

visits on the sly .

That smile resting with

raindrops on her lips

is indeed ‘cocaine’.

Transient it tends to be

I wish I could

Wrap it in a cellophane.

Among those insipid beings

She calls me ‘cryptic’.

The pendulum still swings

back and forth ..

Lord ! how do I draw

The penury of this love,

how do I induce her

to walk in my shadow .

My riddles make her bemused.

She is my real ‘muse’.

I can’t even put this candidly

Cuz I just know

How to love blithely..(sigh).

…..

 

And now when I am leaving,

loitering beside you I hear nothing.

I wonder its still night,

why dark isn’t amiable?

I can’t conceive.

Your lip-cracks holding me back

as if you are unknowing

that I will perceive.

And now when I am leaving

I fear would I be back,

sleeps will be rare

don’t stare at the door

and my empty chair .

Don’t fancy corners

you won’t find me o’er there.

And now when I am leaving ,

I see those hairs,

breathing behind your neck,

wrapping your back

troubling me beguiling me,

they snatched my heaven from me .

I moan, I cry.

And now when I am leaving,

your teeth seem reddish

thus I remember

about the red wine

we both sank into .

That fragrance growing

out of your skin

again resuscitates me.

So now when I am leaving,

don’t ask me

why I didn’t wake you up.

You looked more beautiful then

I again fell in love with you.

 

..And now when I am leaving.

Befooling fable and the protagonist !!

 

Sleep is hard, bed sheet keeps on bugging.

We wake up..(finally)

walk out, follow same people

on the same street.

We buy flowers.

A cup of coffee can wait,

because we wish more to sit on

those silent stairs (forever).

Instead of giving them to somebody,

we put those flowers in

the cracked vase like us.

While thinking about

another-day-another-new-show,

we head to the balcony.

The pink glow comes slyly,

sunrise is imminent.

Thus we forget where we were..

We castigate our soul, we never get exhausted.

We don’t think, we postulate.

Sometimes We feel like running away,

but then we find no roads.

Sometimes we wish to live in some ill-ventilated dungeon

But then we don’t know the address.

We eat a plethora of candy,standing,waiting..

to hear that mellifluous

voice of the angel we all are looking for.

We write, we rub out and then we never write,

or we continue writing .

We feel, we get hurt and then we stop feeling,

or we fall in love..

Life seems like a befooling fable,

and we are..

the protagonist.

Reflection..

There lives a moment , reminding me of you fresh like a fresh rose, wedged in the window of my heart. I sit alone, left in the hall, still singing low…thinking about it.

Silence stood by me under the thumb of the wind.Your stories are jammed in the closet,Oh! where..where do I begin?

Tell me if sleep has abandoned those blue eyes..

Tell me if the moon still intrigue you in the midnight..

Tell me if those bitter-sweet melodies still make you cry..

I seem to be a bit off-color and all jaunty at the same time. Sometimes I feel I don’t belong here.(sigh)

But Love is fine..Fine as wine! I am sure I can rustle you up love..again.

–Love

The one…

Call it a vision,

Call it a notion.

Both weren’t real.

I thought it will rain..

The day seemed unreal.

Coming into my sight

SHE passed by me

I stood still,

With love-light

flushing inside me.

I headed home,

Slept with that

No-more-unfamiliar dream..

Adrenaline rush dated me.

Night goes.

Heard a tinkle,

I got up early.

Inhaling the wind,

That passes for thought.

I felt like tap-dancing,

(No..What!)

Concealing the Highfalutin-me.

I backed up, went out.

 Holding on, marking time.

Barged, perambulated.

She came, yes she came.

(Angst exorcized)

Clear as a tear.

I could love her from there.(sigh)

She took to heels.

Halt! No..

Crowded with some dopey douchebags,

she found me incognito.

I tailed her, she stumbled.

Her eyes spoke everything.

I could get lost in them,

She looked blue.

Sheepish, dominated.

I tried not to stare,

with no patience cultivated.

Her loveliness was abstract,

angelic and divine.

I enunciated to myself

I would love her,

rain and shine.

I was high,

with my hope springing high.

I knew she could breathe..

new life in me.

Keeping a straight face

I asked with all my heart-

“I would be your popoyi ‘,

Would you be my olive oyi’?

She giggled,

Giving me the heebie-jeebies.

I said-Yes,

Even I love the little babies ..

In the twinkling of an eye,

hearts exchanged.

This was it.

-A moment strikes me.

I hear somebody murmuring,

kissing my forehead  and whispering,

“Its morning, my love.”

She is ..(sigh)

She is the one.

Anathema breeds agony …

Nobody seems to care about clouds anymore.They have got their heart wrapped in cellophane, afraid of bumping into strangers or an old flame.

  People around me are no longer 
  what they used to be..
  They have become Monster trucks.
  with two eye-balls on them.
  They hate and they just move on!
  Thinking of this,

   I find myself dumbfounded here,
  Hoping I am not the only troubled-soulhere!!

E-N-D

My beatitude slips away like an unwelcome guest by knowing that all those things we love..we possess gonna die someday.

End..This is where you walked away without a word and I kept thinking.

end..this is where you felt alone when I was with you !

end..this is where I never wanted to go without you !

end..this is where you begin and I END,

end !!

H+

Hurt when you walked away..It hurt when you turned your back..

hurt when you came over..again and again.

Hurts when you are gone..It hurts when you look at..

hurts still to see..that Hurt ..never went away.

-I may be cynical about things,

I’ve got dreams in hidden places ..

Melancholy has become pleasure,

But I have learnt..not to lose hope.

Same as we all live life in Chains,

But we never know..we have the Key.

Souvenir

Flying,in seventh heaven I kept dreaming about it,

Every night I used to fabricate a world..with you only inside it.

I don’t know what was on my mind I could even see the stars making love to each other with my closed eyes.

That was a while ago..

Now I am no longer in love with rain.

All I have is a drop of tear on my eyelash waiting for its turn.

Don’t worry you..I won’t let it go.

I will keep it as a Souvenir !!
