Helpless Obstinacy

I waited,
my eyes tickled by the sweep of air,
and watered by the swinging undercurrent;
I lay still,
Even as the door flew back and forth,
to the call of the wind;
breaking the silence.

My wait faded away in the fleeing hours,
and i woke into consciousness;
As i walked out of what stood behind me,
Something caught my eye:
a tiny slice chipped off the walls,
that had screamed silent,
When the wind blew hard, with
the door dancing to its tune,
And i squeezed in bed,
awaiting my respite.

In and Out

My love long lost, i found in you
But i pray you, return my love not,
For i am afraid i might lose u in the trials to come;
I fear the vast blue seas stretching between us;
The horizon bounds me in my solitude.

I lament as the sun goes down, when
I can't but let you take leave, a wistful you;
And then as i recline, the stars i thank
For their twinkling smiles, that ease my yearning
In yours, and i smile through my tears.

In love, I lived my every breath, the love
That embraced me, eluded my passion
Or just observed, mute, cold, deadly;
But now as love conquers me, clenching
My life, rekindling the frozen, i throb.

Flimsy masks, unyielding ties so fragile,
The passion unattended to, seering high;
Tongue-tied, as the unsaid echoes aloud,
Strangled emotions shiver free; and the
Muses tickle, unfolding the charm.

As the unbowing self shatters its pride, the
Fences, thorny, yield to a one-faith green.
Hallowing the unforgiven, sweetening the bitter,
Belittling the guilt that builds with every high,
The saga leads into an impasse, a dead lock.

Night Out!

I strolled down the road, the same old one
Trodden many a time, silent and lone;
Thinking aloud this time, heard, unheard,
Footsteps beside me, matching my pace.

The winds spoke aloud ,to me and to her
I smiled, sobbed, sighed, missing her eye;
And she too mused, belying her surges.
We walked together, yet miles apart.

Thunders hit my ears as i fingered the keys
That evoked responses to my idle pursuit,
From bodies hidden by distance, and minds
Soaring out of reach, in the same world as mine.

As the last man awake, bid me adieu, leaving me
In the fragrance of the earth ruffled by the new rain,
A face i gave to the reflections of my inner eye,
Penning the strands of thought into words.

The dawn welcomed me with an orange buzz,
And i realized the night has become day again.
Wonder how short is the while that flips by as,
People walk in and out of our lives, in tandem!
