...You're my angel !!

To be an angel, one need not have wings.
In giving love there is an equal grace.
Nor need one seek the aura in the face,
As love unveils the beauty of all things.

For me this year has been a special mountain!!

For me this year has been a special mountain,
Incandescent on its sunlit peak.
Revisiting its rich, eventful days,
So full of love, is one more gift from you.
There is no darkness on our lovely mountain
As I gaze upon my life from this first peak.
Nothing I imagined matches these days
Needing, wanting, loving, having you.
In earlier years I thought of this first mountain,
Visioning the vista from its peak.
Each thought was there, even in those days:
Ripples in the darkness without you.
So shall I love you on this yearly mountain
As I cast a quick glance backward from its peak,
Recalling the long innocence of days
Yearning for what I now have in you.

I want you to fly...

I want to help you fly,
But not away from me.
I want what's best for you,
But fear what that might be.
There is no paradox
More difficult than this:
That I would die for you,
Yet not give up your kiss.

So do not mind my madness;
Fly bravely, if you must:
I'll watch you, happy in your joy,
And teach my heart to trust.

Mysteriously sparkling eyes !!

Sparklying eyes 

When I look into your eyes
I see something I've never seen before
I'm not sure what it is
But I only see it when you're looking at me

It could just be wishful thinking
But sometimes I'm not sure
I look into your eyes again
And see a little more

My heart is beating fast
My stomach is turning in knots
I try to turn my face away
But your eyes have me caught

I get lost in the simple sight of you
My composure becomes unglued
Why can't I turn my face away,
Is what I'm thinking... true?

Do your eyes say more than your lips;
Do your eyes feel more than your finger tips?
Does your touch mean something true,
Or am I simply falling for you?

Am I as lost as I seem to be,
Lost in your eyes, in their serenity?
Am I as naive as I'm told to be;
Do your eyes see anything in me?

Am I as lost as your eyes say;
Why can't I turn my face away?
Will you tell me what this means
When you have your eyes on me?

... I missed you today !

I missed you today,
when i awoke to cloudy skies, early in the morning.
I could hardly open my eyes
but my mind was full of thoughts of you.

I missed you today....
when your voice wasn't so clear in my memory,
tickling my ear
while a smile would be beggin' to form on my face.

I missed you today...
when throughout my classes you were the only one i would think of.
I'd drift into our special place
where only we existed and our lips would touch...
never parting for a moment
except when we breathed and whispered,
"I love you," in between our beating hearts.

I missed you today when i didn't catch you online...
and i waited and waited- but no sign of you.
I waited until the sky grew dark and the moon shined bright
sending light through my window.
I held back my tears... turning off my computer.

I missed you today when you didnt call me the whole day...
and I waited, thought of calling you, but could not.
I thought it was you whenever someone called me,
I tried to think about something else, but I know I can't do it.

I missed you tonight...
when i tried to go to sleep
and your face was there when i closed my eyes.
A tear rolled down and i tasted the bitter salt
...as i drifed off to sleep.

I will keep on loving you !

out of the blue you came
out of the dark i saw you
in the midst of the crowd
i heard your name
i looked back, but there's
...no you

saw you laugh
heard you cry
listened to your song
been there in everything you do
yet, you never saw me
...shedding a tear for you

i heard footsteps-
drums rolling, waves crashing to the shore
thunder, lightning
yet, it only was my heart
...beating for you

happy was i with your embrace
loving you more with each caress
i woke up, it was a dream
yet, it will be a moment
remembered... a dream
that will always be a dream...

even if you ask the sun to stop shining
you can't! the clouds are there
ask the leaves to stop falling
no! the wind lives forever
ask me to stop loving you...
you can't... you exist...!

chale bhi aao...

ajj gum ka kissa khatam hone ko hai,
chale bhi aoo ki ankhiri saan khatam hone ko hai
kaho farishto se, jara, kuch pal wo ruk jaaye
suna hai wo apna wada nibhane ko hai

... I will never be lonely again !!

Yoon to koi bhi tanha nahi hota,
chaah kar kisi se juda nahi hota,
mohbbat ko majboorian hee ley doobti hain,
varna koi khushi se be-wafa nahi hota

...tera sapna dekhti hai meri aakhe !!

har subah jab tera sapna dekhti hai meri ankhey,
har chehre me
tera chehra khojti hai meri ankhey,
har gali har raste se
tera nam pata puchti hai meri ankhey.

... ke kabra me bhi baith kar piya karenge !

Nikal raha tha humara janaza
to ek baat yaad aa gai,
saamne tha maikhana to ek baat yaad aa gai,
humne kaha yaaro !! rakh lo do char botle ki
kabr me bhi baith kar piya karege,
khuda jab maangega umar ka hisaab to,
use bhi jaam bhar bhar kar diya karenge.

.. does your kiss mean anything without me?

The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle—
Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdain'd its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea—
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

If I were her lover ....

If I were her lover,
I'd wade through the clover
Over the fields before
The lane that leads to her door;
I'd wait, 'mid the thickets,
Or there by the pickets,
White pickets that fence in her door,
For the life of my life and more.
I'd lean in the clover—
The crisper
For the dews that are over—
And whisper:
"Your lips are as rare
As the dewberries there,
As ripe and as red,
On the honey-dew fed" . . .
If I were her lover to whisper.


II


If I were her lover,
I'd wade through the clover
Over the field before
The pathway that leads to her door;
And watch, in the twinkle
Of stars that sprinkle
The paradise over her door,
For the soul of my soul and more.
And there in the clover
I'd reach her;
And over and over
I'd teach her—
A love without sighs,
Of laughterful eyes,
That reckoned each second
The pause of a kiss,
A kiss and . . . that is
If I were her lover to teach her.

......it's her heart that I wish to keep

Got this wonderful piece from Hemanshu

Love is absolute bliss,
my only justification for it is this:
There is someone out there that I miss,
and something's in my heart amiss.

Her eyes are a bright spark,
her voice as sweet as a lark.
Her beauty is to mark,
her hair is a beautiful shade dark.

Her laugh is infectious,
her lips are delicious.
Her smile vivacious,
Her mind perspicacious.

Her voice is the first thing I like to hear in the morning,
she makes my day, and fills it with meaning.
Thinking of her makes my heart grow fonder,
I lose sight of whats yonder.

I love her well and true,
the thing I know not is what to do?
I hurt her often and bad,
but she never complains a tad.

I love her for what she is,
and not for what she can be.
But I don't know if she realises,
or if that, she can see.

Hopeless romantic from the start,
wish the day never comes when I truly lose heart.
I hope one day she becomes mine,
I would cook for her and take her out to dine!

They say beauty is only skin deep,
but it's her heart that I wish to keep.
To hold her close and whisper words of affection,
to forever make her the object of my attention.

... mai darta hu

Darta hu mai
Kahi aakash chhune ki chaah me
Dharti na chhoot jaaye.

Isliye na to mai Aakash ko chhu pata hu,
Na to dharti par thahar paata hu.

Bas dharti aur aakash ke beech
dara sa, sahma sa
vicharta rah jaata hu !

... Lady lying on my bed

It was a great weekend,
That almost seemed like godsend
As I found the lady in red,
Lying on my very bed.

There she was lying,
With a smile, looking me eying
Eying her from the head to the toes,
As if I had found an eternal answer to all my woes.

In that blissful moment, when I glanced,
Upon her petal like succulent lips
In my mind a shadow of doubt advanced,
As I remembered theres many a slip,
Between the cup and the lip.

As the sun moved on westward,
And time and me froze
Contemplating what would be the appropriate word,
With which, I should propose
Propose the lovely lady in red to get close.

When there's so much to say,
Words do not often find their way
And in silence thus I sat by the sweet-pie,
As my heart pounded, and I went shy.

How long was it? May be barely a moment,
But it was like eternity as I sniffed the pervading
scent
Of the lady in red
Who was lying on my bed.

So close to each other, in that frozen moment,
Did she hear how my heart pounded under torment?
As I made love to her, in my mind
I thought, some words I must find.

Words to convey the deepest of my feelings,
The words to say, lets make love for ever, together
Finally my words found wings,
And I blurted out a proposal of sort, hoping she would
gather
That incoherent though, I was sincere to her.

As I said, it was a weekend,
Which seemed almost like godsend
Lady in red,
Lying on my bed
Refused to wed!

come to me, don't be shy

You have never been loved, nor shall ever be,
By anyone, anymore than by me,
For you - I live and for you I shall die,
Oh! Sweetheart, come to me, don't be shy.

I know not how to say 'I Love You'
But I do know that you always knew,
So, Oh dear! come near, do come near,
And listen to the silent cries of your lover.

Let us love each other - today and tomorrow,
The way that a mortal forgets pain and sorrow,
Let us love each other till the judgement day,
The way that Aphrodite would shy away.

Come, Oh! sweet, let me be lost in the labyrinth of
love for you,
Lets rejoice every moment anew,
Let me love you, enough to endure for ever,
Fly to my arms, as to ocean flows a river.

For sweetheart, you have never been loved, nor shall
ever be;
By anyone, anymore than by me.

.. sweet were the moments

Sweet were the moments short though, that we had
between us
Distant we might have been, and yet no one has ever
been so close,
Still before the sun sets today, all that was
yesterday has already been lost,
The missed kisses I will remember, but the parting has
a more dearer cost,
For with you, my love, paradise is lost ...
And life again is as it had been before I ever met
you, ordinary joy and sorrow,
But ironically, it will never be same ever again,
morrow,
Or days after .. for more than missing the gay
laughter
That we shared, I miss the silent moments I have spent
in your thought,
Thinking you are thinking of me,
While the heaven was weaving an unseen plot,
Yet, if you chose to leave me, I bid you fare well,
Forever my love, goodbye,
Am tempted to wonder, was it your pretence?
Or did I too steal a few of your heartbeats, as you
did many of my moments?
But better I not wonder in that realm any more, lost
as I already am,
For false be it or true, nice were the moments which
with me you shared,
And in the pleasant memory of those few moments shall
I survive the ones that heaven has, for me, spared.

Choose a few and let them flow

"LIFE IS AS SWEET AS MANGO,
AS SMOOTH AS ICE
SUDDENLY A STORM COMES
N CRUSHES THE ICE
N LET THE EMOTIONS FLOW
BEARING THOSE TEARS IN THE EYES
A HEAVY SMILE ON A DICE
LEAVES A QUESTION BEHIND
IS IT YOU OR IM SEEING
MYSELF IN YOU.
VOICE IS UNRECOGNISIBLE BUT
HUMANS ARE MORE INTELLIGENT
DEBATES WITH HUMAN SOUL AND SAYS
I KNOW ITS YOU,
PITTY VOICE CAN'T SAY ANYTHING
REMAINS QUIET N DESCRIBES
THE SITUATION IT WAS NOT ME
BUT MY HEART WHO MISUNDERSTOOD YOU.
CLEVER HEART CLAIMS IT WAS YOU
WHO LET THOSE EMOTIONS FLOW IN YOU,
WHO IS TO BLAME NOW
ICE OR TO HEART
BOTH ARE SENSITIVE IN NATURE:
EASILY MELTS AWAY WITH TEARS
BUT LIFE IS NOT TO B DISCARDED
IT HAS TO B CHEERED;
THAT'S WHY A RULE IS TRUE
ONE WHO LIVES HAS TO CHOOSE FEW
AND HAS TO LET THEM FLEW"

.... You will never be lonely again !

Love is.......
forgiving even though it's hard to forget;
holding hands and never wanting to let go;
hoping that tomorrow will be as wonderful as today
sharing secrets and whispers
and star-spangled nights.

And most importantly,
Love is......
knowing that you'll never be lonely again.

... that you are missed !

Its surprising how often
I think of you
And realize
You're not right there
As I expected you to be.
I guess I hold you
so close in thought
that it's hard
to understand sometimes
That you aren't close
In person
but I wanted
To let you know
I'm thinking of you
And wishing we could talk
And just be together
Awhile-
You're really missed

I want you to miss me

There could be fog
Or maybe just a mist
And inexplicably I'll fade to white
Vanish, and be gone
Or it could be night
And I'll be darkly dressed,
Evading easy definition
And as your eye's distracted
By a falling leaf
I'll merge with restless shadows
And be gone
Then you will discover
What emptiness is
A space so hollow
Even its own walls are swallowed up
A quality of missing
So intense
A lack, a lack
Each hour more bottomless than the last
Until your heart cries out,
A howl of forfeiture
But it will be nothing
Ashen silence where I used to sing
And deafness
The howl must strike the right resonant frequency
A wail that echoes all to the ends of time
To fill the gaping void in whole, looping wavelengths
From the well of your soul, such loneliness
To make Siberian wolves hang heads for shame
In their convivial packs
Then, only then
Might you detect my footprints, indistinct
Marking the morning dew fall
Perhaps glimpse a puff of breathin the cold, dawn air
You must utterA howl so desolate, it
Jerks you from your sleep
To find me warm beside you on your pillow
And you will know how
Close you were to the brink Of the abyss
And know what missing is
And hold me.
