Song of my life

How I wish to capture,
The swish of the curl,
of that impertinent smile
And the twinkle of that eye
Filled with mischief...

I wish I had,
When you were near, yet here

How I wish I could,
hold your warmth within me
Melt in your wordless sea,
And may be,
Breathe in your scent,
And never let go,

I wish I had,
When you were near, yet here

I would be satisfied,
If I could live with the chimera
I would find light,
In the darkest of the umbra
And yet, this is denied to me
For you have left ,
Out of the realms of my five senses

And yet you remain,
In my heart, forever lodged
Your touch inscribed, on my body
And your picture, in my eyes!
And your voice...
a music that echoes through my consciousness
And you color my dreams,
As you once colored,
my every waking moment

And I am drenched to my very core,
In the very essence of you

PS: I am not ashamed of the fact that this poem is completely influenced by the eagles song " Desperaado" [:D]

Oh Desperado
How long will you run
From reality for fun?
Quit.. Quit this bravado


Oh desperado
Back there you have left
A wee girl so bereft.
How can you be incommunicando?


Its time to face.
Life is not race
Think of that lace
Go back .. go back to that place.


Fighting demons
Of your past.
Do not lose...
Love that will last
Forget.. forget the el durado
Oh desperado...


Quit quit this bravado..
Forget the el durado!!

"Dont come near me
Can't u see?
you will burn
Shun me shun!"

Flame said.

" embrace me hon
Feel the need
Gimme the fatal kiss..
Feel the bliss"

Said the moth.


"Insanely love you've got
i cant do it i love u a lot
How can i think of the effect
When nothing of you will be left"

Flame wailed.

"Nah dear dont b sad
There r many more "moths" to be had
I wont disappear but in you
This is my love.. this is my due"

Moth persisted.

"If that is your wish, come on be with me
Let my fate
Be to wait.. to b lonely
You will get your glory..
coz you see
With you.. in love I happen to be.."

Flame said with arms wide open.

Insanely love..
Or limitless love.
I do not know
All I see is a writing moth
In arms of flame caught.

The way you touch

Tells me so much

much more than

Your words even


I know you are shy

I know you try

I know I see

But you dont need to honey


Read my eyes

Hear my breath

We dont need words

We love each other till death


everytime we hold hands

Every time we stand

Togather against the world

Words we can't afford

For feelings that means

More than words


How can we containthis feeling

which no one can attain

Do not try dear do not say

Let you heart do the work today


More than words

more than life

more than dreams

more than death even


Our feelings dear,

Our love is all i believe in

You , is all i believe in

More than words


More than words.............

Walk on honey

Take that one step more

Do not quit now

Move for the one you adore




I wait

Since eternity

For you

Oh mon diu!




Do not be scared

Do not walk away

For your love.. you dream

Walk all the way




Over come

all the dangers

Stretch yourself to zenith

Walk wid strangers



Come to me honey

To the lands so sunny

I am waiting

Come all the way




Come and take me

In your arms

all my charms

Are for you.. come n see




Come my love

My darling

Be daring!

Come all the way!




All the way..

Come come and say

I love you

But first come..

before i die

Come all the way

Come hither come hither
My eyes says.. but you cannot see
Let me in let me understand you
But you are not free


In the swirl of virtuality
Is this reality??
My heart says say yes..
Mind orders. dont get into this mess

And yet.. i cannot just be
oh how you intrigue me
oh mystic you cryptic
The absolute vague..

I wish i know you better
I wish i know u to the letter
But it will take time..
I can wait for what is mine..
But are you?

So many questions so many sighs
When you answer i will go high
I guess high on happiness
Or will it be madness

You got the key
All i can do is just be
Living with this confusion
Or is it delusion ?

Tell me your innermost dreams
Your fears .. the world as it seems
I want all or nothing at all


Tell me how much you love me
how much you miss me
tell me you cant live without me
tell me tell me all!


give me your insecurities, all your fallacies
give me all ...
I want all or nothing at all


I want you joys your sadness.
I want to hold you..
In my arms you can find madness
Forget your worries forget all


Reach for me when you fall
Reach for me when you are lost
reach for me in troubles soo deep
Reach for me in you sleep
I'll be there whenever you call
Reach for me


Share with me.. your life
I'll be there in every strife
I'll be there in your happiness
I will share
Let me hold you let me care
I want all or nothing at all

Drops of water in the pane..
Surging passion in my veins..
Smouldering need in you eyes
And reflected in my sigh
We tried hard to contain
it was not us but the rain.


Lost in wilderness within the shack
We shared a night till the crack...
searching and yet not meeting.
The gaze relentless in its seeking..
the golden haze of smoking fire
indicating of consequences dire


And yet lost in our own dance
Waiting for a unheeded chance.
We waited seeming for eternity..
it was but for an opputunity.
Accepting the inevitable.
And yet waiting for the conceivable...


In that instance lightening stroke
Leaving all the cautions to wind
I ran towards that unworthy bloke
Emboldened by my mistake
I didnt realize till the end
He held me tighter ..that rake


And then it happened like a dream
Corny as it may seem
We kissed senseless in the rain
We tried hard to refrain
Since that day we have been togather
Oh it was a kiss forever

Magic in the dawn
Chirping birds on the lawn
Wasn't it perfect
On that special day?


And yet i didnt see the birds
nor the flowers that unfurled
Coz i was looking out for you
You. my honey.. my world...


eyes lost into eyes..
hands enclasped never to let go
in every gesture..in every sigh
love.. you did show..


That day.. do you remember ?
You promised me ... forever
enmeshed with me in heavenly dance.
Bliss in every glance..


It is again a magical dawn
birds are still in the lawn
and I wait for you.. yet
You have long passed away..


Its been an year since that day.
When lady love scorned my way
Love is lost so are you..
Borrowed joy lost like the morning dew..

I made a mistake.
We came togather..
I know too much was on stake
Believe me for me too.. but it was not meant to be for ever...


I tried to reason with u..
I tried being tough
Oh but what wud make u understand
I have no clue

Yes u love me. but i dont
Yes u wanna be togather but i wont!
What can b done abt this?
If things cud have been changed just by a wish!


Its been more than a year
Twice than we were ever togather
do u really care for me now
Or is it your fear ?

What ever it is
Do not come hither
Coz u can coz
This flower to wither....

Yesterday Neeru and me decided to write a poem on the topic "Lady of the night" or the prostitutes.. somehow my imagination went overdrive and I produced 2 of them.. here is it.....



The moon is shining bright
But can it match the sight?
Of my reflection?
Oh.. Urvashi's resurrection!!!!


Jittering nerves n broken pride..
Glittering adornment doth hide
Tears of pearls r n vanity abide
The soiled .. any body's bride


Oh what wouldn't i give
To b back to poet's hut...
In his arms my eyes shut
And not in this ostentatious rut


But I am lady of the night
How can I light
Someone's hearth...
I am blighted... since birth!




The second poem starts very much like sarojini naidu's poem.. but the words are mine.. it just flowed and i cudnt contain.. I hope you like it as much as I do!!



Nay do not grieve for the tortured sigh
,Not while I am in your arms...
Kiss me senseless i wont fight
For I am the lady of the night!


Nay do not stop for dawn is nigh..
Farmers already left for the farms....
We are here on borrowed moments,
And yet my love flows in torrents.


Nay, oh luminous moon, do not go..
Lets try and fight your foe
The shining sun ever so bright...
Mocks,On my distressed plight!


Nay do not stop its time to go
Don't look back at my woe,
Magic in the night, I do unfurl...
I am but an helpless girl..


Nay do not let the love bites hide
In the light of sparkling tear
Nor forget the night's wanton cheer...
The final offering..
Of your one night bride!!

I gaze ahead
standing on the window
I see happy birds flying
In pairs to the chicks to be fed
Where are you!


When I see moon so shy
Peeping into the garden
Amid bountiful stars
Like a bride to be.. I sigh
Where are you!


And then its so late
I resign to my fate
The moon the stars
and the faded flower
Admonishes me to wait..
where are you!


The sun has risen again
The birds sing a song
Come back soon I cant wait for long
As sky changes its hue
I rue... where r u?
