Disconnect

The mirror,
It reflects the sunlight
On my face.
My dreams come true.
The rainbow
Within my soul...
I can see
In the mirror,
My eyes are smiling.
The warmth melts
The icy heart...
Frozen it lay in disuse,
Lived through life,
A block of stone.
Bitter winters;
Embittered within.
Always in a frenzy.
A pyromaniac,
Set aflame
By the rage...
Till I was charred
But...
In the summer,
I bloomed again.
Flowers everywhere...
Happiness...
All the colours...
Euphoric...
My eyes are wide awake
I am not enchained
In time...
The clock ticks...
I can hear the seconds...
In my heart,
I am floating,
Over the seas
Far below...
I can see myself
No more...
Never again,
Will sadness touch me.

One amongst many

A masquerade,
And everyone is everyone
They are not;
Lights of every colour,
Psychedelic
And I am a doll
Yet again
Alone
my sighs, deep sighs
My heaving heart
All within...
My fragmented molecules, shining and glowing
Like the stars
Every shard drunk on sorrow and
Happiness and lonliness at once!
Irony of a masquerade
Where everyone is everyone
Yet not...

Love

Hey honey!
Missing you...
Been traveling too much.
Have not kept in touch.
But you must know,
There can be no other
Three decades
We survived,
Fought all battles together...
You are most beautiful
Your eyes never stray.
Sorry,
For the cigarettes and the booze.
For the insomnia and the incessant tears.
For all the abuses that distanced us so...
I hope you know,
I watched the kites fly,
Freed us both...
This time,
I am back for good.
Best time ever...
My promise to you.
Lets have Annie,
We have waited all our lives.
Lets celebrate,
Lets rejoice.
I love you.
You are mine.

The Goddess

Her eyes were ablaze,
Durga;
Yet euphoric,
She walked like a storm,
A multitudinous whirlpool
Around her.
The heart was not there;
She was an enigma.
The mind and soul,
An exotica
On display...
But she went missing;
Where can she be?
I can feel her power,
A great distance away...
She controls the path she walks on...
Her heart does not beat.
This clock has turned,
She lives in the past;
Through punishing times,
Present;
Blends into all the yesterdays
All the memories came gushing back
Time after time.
Her eyes were tearing,
They dried before they fell.
She wont allow herself
To forget her past life...
This significant future
She awaits
To live again
Her past and present...
But wondrously happy this time.
Time moves again,
With her we are all augmented
In eudemonia...

Within

Sometimes, I just wander far off,
In my mind.
To places from the past.
I cannot seem to move ahead
The fragrance holds me back,
Colours;
I fantasize;
I swoon;
I am giddy from swinging
My body is dancing,
My mind too,
My heart is racing,
Liquid tension builds up...
I watched myself getting drunk;
The fabulous kites flying
The cars speeding by,
The skyline changes...
I sit down to catch my breath
My eyes are heavy,
I need a hand to hold mine tight,
Walk me home...
Alas! I drank alone...

The garden

The incense sticks,
Burning furiously.
Their sacrifice,
Transcended us...
Into a garden of Jasmines;
All in bloom and so fragrant;
I was hypnotised
By the swirling smoke,
That enveloped me...
I sought refuge in your arms;
To hide my inner self.
Your beautiful eyes,
They followed me
Till I surrendered;
Your breath was toxic,
Feeling my pulse,
Your lips,
Spreading the poison,
Crushing mine.
Our beings smothered,
by the scented smoke,
In that enchanted garden
Where we found our souls...

The last memory...

It rained today;
I was intoxicated as always by the
aroma of the earth;
If only he had touched me then,
I would have burnt;
I was in flames.
My face was resplendent;
I could feel my heart ache...
I was alone;
Languishing for his love,
My first love drowning in the very first rain.
But I metamorphised into the summer rain,
My human form vapourising into
Droplets of passion;
Alas! I was all alone,
Drenched in lonliness,
Standing alone watching myself flow away into the night...
