Journey

As I tread a hard and weary way

Through the universe empty and dark

I realize yet again

That only you can ignite that spark

That you were the light of my life

That, in my heart you made and indelible mark.

A night years ago

When I saw your face from far,

I gave you my heart

And cared not that you were a star.

Your shining serene face glowed

And in a twinkle I knew your answer.

Your presence made my face shine

Maybe it was the light of love dear!

I wanted to rush into your arms

And be yours once and forever.

I decked myself with a glittering viel

And shyly gushed in a bridal glow.

What did we lack?

Oh! What did we lack that

I had to go back?

Why couldn’t we stay together?

Why did it have to end?

Fate and time conspired

To keep us far apart.

And I knew the happy time,

The wonderful, blissful time

Alas, was not meant to be.

My happy shining face clouded

With tears and agony

But I knew it was of no avail

I had to continue my journey.

Somewhere along the way,

I threw my glittering veil away

For it was a remembrance

Of fortune’s cruel play.

And here I am an ill fated comet

Alone in the dark empty universe

Fated to leave my loved one

The bright, shining, immovable sun.

Pandora's Box

Every feeling locked up
Behind an impassive face,
A chest full of emotions
in an unopened case.

On my face was a mask
Of an unfeeling smile,
With none of love and glee
or even hate or guile

Running the rat race,
Sleep walking through life
Methodically I moved,
Not feeling a strife

Every feeling locked up,
Hurting those in my way
I went ahead in life,
My own hurt locked away

Then one day , my chest was full,
It could no longer stand ,
The huge weight of emotions,
They went out of hand

Like a pandora's box , they spread,
All my feelings once,
I closed it shut with all my might,
And shut the remaining ones.

With heart blackened with negative thoughts,
that flew out from my chest,I
dared to open once again,
That box of living death.

What came out then ,
I never knew,It had been there in me,
It was the ray of hope called love
That would help me be.

All my bad feelings locked up,
Like the pandora's box of yore,
The good was also buried ,
Somewhere beneath its core,

Now again,I was a complete man,
With feelings and refrain,
But Love would always see me through,
and give me hope in pain.

First Rains

The river of tears
has long gone dry,
The barren earth
has forgotten to cry

Time moves on
Seasons come and go,
Now , it stood still
not a breeze did blow.

There were no shades in life,
no hues no colours,
Just the brown leaves,
No new flowers.

The parched lips of the
Land lay dry
The hardness of stone,
That never does cry,

Like a solid rock,
The tree stood still,
As leaves left hold,
in a lack of will

The sorrows of its beloved,
how long can it stand,
Looking down from above
The sky outstreched its hand

Like a blue veil,
The darkness has spread,
The clouds engulfed,
The white sky bed.

The fogged clouds shall fill,
The dark blue sky,
The sorrows of the earth,
The first rains will cry
