EPHEMERAL SHADOW

The night was cold;
The streets almost deserted;
I was alone, down the street walking
Through the light of few posts shining
Pocketed hands.........(no hands to hold, no shoulder to round over)
Completely absorbed in my cogitations,
Then discovered I suddenly,
A FRIEND,so humbly
Down to earth and
Attached........... to me.
There was light above and around.
As we walked together,
Step be Step,
Me warm in his company
He aspiring and growing.
I could see myself in him.
But alas!
The taller he grew the fainter he became
And then he melted down somewhere.
I realized it was dark
I retrospected the time spent together
At times your friends leave you in darkness
When they have grown amazingly tall!
" Some friends like your shadow are incapable of
Staying beside you in darkness.
They may have their compulsions too."
I walked on slowly and silently
Completely absorbed in my cogitations,Then discovered I,
A friend
Attached to me so humbly.

The Etarnal You

YOU drank the poison
When the rest drank for eternal life
They never knew that eternity Is not that coveted drink,
But conquering every heart and becoming
A part of every soul living.
For me eternity is a part of that null
Where exist the bliss and Congeniality
Of our togetherness.
I have had my share of poison here
Now let me leave the world behind
Leave the life ephemeral
And come to you
Death conquers us all
Where the effect of poison ceases
And life becomes eternal.

BEYOND THE MIST

There was darkness unusual
And smoke all over.
I lost my individuality,
Then lost my Identity,
I had lost you!
I get lost in the smoke........
I lose and I gain a hole,
An abyss of void.
No other counterpart to fill it.
So I smoke and see it filling the hole,
Then I cannot see.
Smoke all over !
Just like the mist in the cold morning of Ooty;
I couldn't see you ,But i knew you were there.

A DESIRE

And I looked into your coyed eyes,
Drinking the wine in you to my quench,
And lock my Lips to yours.
You know that you are desired:
"LOVE: A desire of being desired."

Your long dark hair
And I got lost there,
Sometimes I get lost in darkness unusual,
And never return back.
Be the darkness in my heart
Or your long dark hair.
And the fragrance, so wild!
As it entices me to explore deeper.

I discover the woman in you
And you the fire in me.
Your soft touch can heal me a lot.
As I dive in the waves so passionate,
Let me stay there
And feel the warmth in your heart.
