Shadow betrays

o

I never saw your face,
You always turned back
And kept your eyes away from me.

You remained silhouetted
in the silver rays of light.
Obscure as if you are from a mirage
And what all I saw is just a shadow

I craved to stare into
your real face
Just to make me sure that
you are not just a futile fantasy

I stretched my hands
To measure the distance between us
but again your shadow betrayed me
As I moved one step towards
You moved one step away

…and shadows,
Hollow like an empty shell
always scanty
and of course like u
with your heart always flinty
left without any definition

Now let me too to turn back
To leave my shadow back
Let it get dried into oblivion

So now what all left is
a gust of the wind-passing by
a whisper in my ears –echoing
and a few drops of unshed tears……

I have never told this before

Life,
An infinite search
Of what I cannot be
rather than what I can be

Dreams,
Unrevealed to anyone..
Got arrested inside
a pearl oyster...
May be one day
the paining oyster
drop a gem

Hope,
A small summer leaf
-clinging to the
dying cork,
with the expectation of
reunion with the winter

Love,
like dark and thick clouds
that will never rain
But hide the shining stars
from the sky

Past,
Like violent waves
Lashed on the rocks…
Like a silent flower
Smiled at butterflies,
…A fading picture
Like Monalisa’s art…

Again life,
An endless path,
In search of extremities...
Facing the sky..
Aiming the stars..
Chasing my dreams……….

Things are resilient...

Even in realities
hope floating distantly
so I embrace these
uncertainities,

I Rejoice the vague sceneries,
i accept this surreal of living
and believes things are resilient…

Let me sleep for a a while
To go to the
abandoned land of dreams
Where I can disguise gray as bright
And can mend the silent screem of
forbidden and forgotten
longings, inch by inch….
without oozing a drop of blood….

Where I can have enough of
winters and summers’
dawn and dusk’
with all shades of hues…

Dreams, are lifeless souls,
embellished nicely,
Painted vividly
And blended with life and hope
And then all it tastes like a
Congenial life cocktail…

‘Which heals and soothes
all the puckerings of shattered wishes
with an abrupt tranquility….

moon goes beyond the horizons
promises the arrival of a brighter day
sleep goes beyond my eyes
wishes me a new existence
there is hope always,there is clouds always
and still it makes me believe
things are resilient……

A broken piece of art

You were only,
a heartbeat away…

But now you taught me
that is such a great
distance, to get reached

At the very moment,
all the signs of my likeness
got sank ,ruthlessly into
the chaotic pond of darkness

But muffled sound of
unspoken words,
still rushing out from
my throat..
May it get unleashed
to an emptiness
rather than reaching u

I am burying my
smolderings ,deeper
and deeper-into the
core of my soul
But still it is gleaming,
with an ember glow
like yellow tinged horizones

Something should come
to replace the vacuum
which is growing ,wider
by carving the
surrounding memories..

Yes, nothing less than two
wings I need
- to fly away
from the, oscillating memories
and to remold me again

And nothing less than
a small seed
to keep my shackled wraths
which will germinate and
perish soon,to make me
free of your rusting thoughts……!
