PROMISE ME……………. February 28, 2009

Promise me
you will not die
before I do

because
if you die
I will not be able to keep
my promise
of making a memorial
far more beautiful than
Taj Mahal………

These are days of recession
I am not able to pay my EMI for
home loan
I have switched
from post Paid
to Pre paid phone

and if you die
with your wishes unfulfilled
you will become a ghost
and
torment my soul

it is much better
that you continue to live
for many more years
keep on adding life
to my years…..
Happy Birthday

is’nt this
music to your ears………

IF YOU COULD……………………………… February 26, 2009

IF YOU COULD………………………………

If
You could
You would
Walk up to me
And tell me
Why………….
I should have forgotten you
A million of years ago

But
You also know
That
The journey through time
Has been filled with
Nuances of life…

The births
And rebirths…
And the only thread
That has continued throughout
Is the music
Played on
To lyrics
Made up of
Some unsaid
Words ….
Some emotions
That our eyes could not express
But our hearts felt
And hummed
In harmony
To last millions of years.

If you could
You would
Come to me
If only
To say hello……..

Good night ! Now Let me Sleep February 15, 2009

 

 

 

 

Did you smile today ?

I guess you must have

 

I heard a rustle of silk

I felt someone touch my arm

I thought I would kindle a bonfire

The thought made me feel warm

 

I looked out of window

Waved out to  a star

it winked back at me  saying

I am with you

Do   not think I am too far

 

I wonder

Why should I get such crazy thoughts

Thought over for a while

I felt someone tap my shoulder

Said  donot get worked up

It is  all in my smile

 

 if you cherish it
in your soul you must  keep
Good night ! Now
and let me  sleep

SO….YOU WOULD NOT SAY>>>>> February 11, 2009

So ..you would  not say……………….

 

 

So

You would not say the words

I yearn to hear from you

Not today…

Maybe never..

 

But

Can you pause your lips

Can you cover your eyes

That shine

The moment they see me

come round the bend…

 

maybe you will tie your hands

but the lashes

shall invite me

by their movements

up and down…

down and up……

 

what shall you do to your smile

that lights up the sun

on a depressing rainy day

as

you look at me ……

and

sets the sun on  a euphoric trip

across the sky

 

just like the trip

of life

we set out together on

 

somewhere on the waves of sea

are the words  lolling up and down

with the waves and tide

the words that I wish to hear from you

 

today and forever..

till the time

I can overcome my shyness

And

Speak them out

To you

May be not today

Maybe never…

 

But

In my smile

You would read

Not only the words

But also the meanings

 

What it means to be with you………………..

Poems float in the clouds February 10, 2009

and poems do float in the clouds
of the emotions
sometimes silent
sometimes loud …
and when you hear them in the quiet
of solitude …
or storm in the sea

all that remains
is a song
that touches your soul
and rewinds to play
the songs you hummed few days ago…..
before ……….choosing
to leave
or to stay…

WHEN THE MUSIC Stops….. February 9, 2009

 

WHEN THE MUSIC

STOPS…………………………

 

 

 

When the music stops

The lyrics still linger on..

 

The words you left behind

For me

The world

You left behind

for me

 

will echo in the

songs of spring

that

the flowers in full bloom

shall forever sing…..

before they wither away and fall off…..

 

the fragrance

still lingers on

like a fountain of joy

that springs out

with your thoughts

leaving us numb..

and alone

and your memories

even as you are gone………….

 

But

Are you really gone..  ?

I am not so sure.!

Random thoughts……. February 8, 2009

There is darkness in my room

not because there is no sun  in the sky

but because ,

 I have sealed the windows and skylights

 

I stumble across in the dark

not because I don’t see any light

but

because I have closed my eyes….

 

I believe that you are still with me

even today

not because , I deny to myself

the reality of death…

 

But , because

your soul is too large

to be confined

 within the limits of life and death..

 

There is light in my soul

not because , i have understood life

but , because ,

in your death

you have shown me immortality of life

because you are going to live with me

till I die …..”

WORDS……………. February 7, 2009

 

Words ……..

sometimes the words would say….

sometimes

they would’nt…

 

Sometimes

the silences would speak

the eloquence ..of love

sometimes ..

I would seek

to read

the dreams in your eyes……..

 

sometimes

the pauses

would link the threads of life

 

sometimes….

I feel you are filling the void

left by your absence

by your thoughts

sometimes…

All I do is

think of you………

 

sometimes …

someone would cut short

my ramblings…

saying..

not sometimes

my friend, that is all you  always do….!

KHWAWISH….EK KHWAAB KI February 7, 2009

khwawish …….Ek khwab Ki…

 

Apnee palkon ke daayre mein soneydo aaj

kal …

shayad bahut door chala jaaonga…

jab dhoondogi

shaam ke dhundhlkon mein

khilkhilati subah ko

 

tab….besaakhta

aur

bahut yaad aaonga

 

English Translation

 

Dream………….of a Desire

let me sleep tonight

within the confines of your lashes…

tomorrow , perhaps ..I would have moved out too far

 

tomorrow

When you would look  out

for the morning with a bright smile

through the  emerging  darkness

of the setting evening………….

May be

my memories will strike you

with all their poignancy…….
