Stardust

Unspoken affirmations, hang in the dust

Frozen there, in the spaces between us!

Meet me there,

Where sunlight catches this dust

Lends it gleam; makes it dance

And listen to the wild rush (of my beating heart)

Of the words left unsaid

Meet me there, and hold me close,

While time thaws around us,

Whispering unto the waiting ears

To make sense of all wrong turns,

Heartaches, regrets and burns

Meet me there, and Kiss me tight,

In between these spaces,

Made of star dust, That shine;

From teary corners of my eyes

And Finally, finally something shall feel right!

Atonement

This thing of darkness,
I acknowledge mine,
His gaze on my silhouette
Stuck in the moonshine

Unto the eerie winter night
Blood lit moon in crimson sky
Demons of past, clenched in tight
Choked on our bittersweet memories

Frozen love settling in dust
He knew, my heart did swear
Aghast in his eyes cried mistrust
Sealed lips still hoped in despair

Stars, I prayed; shine less in fire
Let not him see, my deep black desires
Oblivion may be - the only path to his peace
I stood there frozen, in the moment infinite!
(As I waited for my atonement)

Before Sunrise

Coloring colors before sunrise,

Woke up my sleepy, basal eyes

Daydream delusion, gaps between the stars,

Don’t I know you by now,

Don’t I know you by now?

The dark before the light,

In the seconds before the sunrise,

The last quiet, baring fright

My naked soul, my naked mind

Don’t I know you by now?

The minute before the world wakes up,

A silent promise, cross on heart,

I’ll carry you, You’ll carry me

That’s how it would be!

I know you now, Oh! I know you now !!

Love's Call

When thy beckoned I follow,
Though the path seemed hard and steep
Unto the seasons unknown,
To uncover laughter and weep

When thy spoke, I believed
Though I knew it could shatter my dreams
I lay as the north wind lays autumn leaves
As you caressed my quivering screams

And I stood there naked, in desire
To melt and be like a running brook,
That sings it's melody to the night.

Coz I had laughed, but not all my laughter
And I had wept, but not all my tears...

To descend and seek love's pain and pleasure
To be wounded and cried in joy,
To know the pain of too much tenderness
To willingly bleed and die.. 

Black

Darker hallway, One more door

Fading light, down from shore

A busy street, weeping mob

Lost traveler, in their sob

Lifeless tracks, voices begin

Chill of metal, across the skin

Scathed soul, left in mud

Crimsoned eyes, color of blood

He would stand, across the road,

Bleeding out, none to hold

She would rush, but never reach

Sinking feeling, in her screech

Over and over, he had died

In the bed, where she lied

Love was what she could never give

Dreams was where he would always live

Life's Mistress

Memory

Fades, As the etching of his face in her heart

Love

Weeps, As they trace a way back to start

Pain

Bleeds, As time slowly drips on the scars

          Reflection

          Stays, As she moves on with her day

          His silence

          Cries, what his words wouldn’t say

          Atonement

          Laughs, As it furthers away         

Reverence

Retreats, As she was severed from her soul                                       

Redemption

Prayed, As yet another day unfolds

Darkness

Crimsoned, As her destiny they told

         Tear of blood from her wounded eyes,

         Rolled the clock to back in time,

         Frail joy in shades of grey

         Reveries of life snatched away

As into ashes smoked her lust

She found her peace in the dust

In the flickering light of her last sight

She thought of all that she had might

         A dream too big she had dared

         Defied his love and life they shared

         His last Goodbye, pitied her in distress

         Oh she had chosen, to be Life’s mistress!

Pain Smiles

A sudden surge, mayhem in head...
Flooding memories,
Coagulate my soul..
Yet again I find myself,
Frozen in moment - Broken and Shaken!

I suffer in silence,
As thoughts scratch those scars...
Who were "we" - we didn't see,
Pain bleeds over the broken dreams,
Dreams - where our future lived...

Florid scars... Crumbled hope
Endure the pain, my timid heart.
One more time in this infinite time,
Pick thy pieces,
Give that smile...!
