leave me not...

I ask you tonight,
leave me not alone,.

Stay by me dear,
till the break of dawn..


I'm lost & scared,
like a trapped young fawn,

my feeling unwritten,
nor ever drawn..


By the trecherous winds,
my shelter blown..

Except for you,
I'm all alone..


I can't my dear,
without you go on..

I ask you tonight,
leave me not alone..

outburst

The howling wind on my face,
strong and wet, with water chill..
The roaring sea, thrashing and wild..
On a seashore rock, I stood still...

Nature there, doing what I couldn't,
an extension I felt... A part of me..
Or have I turned, inside out,
my heart out there and the sea in me?..

The wind wailing, my heart's cry..
My desires suppressed, frustrations hidden,
anger, pain and all unexpressed,
gushing out, all of a sudden...

The sea splashing, wetting my face,
with water salty, my unshed tears..
The drizzle cold, cleansing my soul,
washing off, my untold fears...

My heart to me, nature held bare,
yet on that rock, I stood still..
I wanted to, but, couldn't connect..
I tried and failed, my heart to spill...

The sun was blocked, as if joy denied,
just dark clouds, there I saw,
gloomy and rumbling, with thunderous roars..
How so evident, the anger raw!!..

And in between, those flashes of rage,
at all in sight and nothing at all..
Lashing out, like a blind man's whip,
pity those, on whom it fall...

Then on struck, at my feet..
A flash, and then, I was airborne..
I felt very light, even within,
so calm., so pure.. As if reborn...

The wind carried me, in his arms,
and placed gently, on the now calm sea..
She covered me, with watery sheets
and in her bossom, I felt free...

And there I lay, cuddled up to her,
with burdens nil, my heart at ease..
Nature thus, granted my wish,
and there at last, I was at peace...

Hawa ke jhoke sula rahi he,
Sapno ki duniya bula rahi he..
Neend aa rahi he phir bhi,
Yaad teri hame rula rahi he...

Sharab to humne pee lee he bahut,.
Gum ka bahana bana lee he bahut,.
Bhulana chaha tha un yaadon ko magar,
nashe me bhi thadpati he bahut...

Yaad ati he wo har pal hansi mazak ki..
Yaad hi reh gaye wo sab,
hamne esi kya gunaah ki...

-joker-

Oh God!! I pray to you,
as the day starts anew..
Give me back, even for a while,
give me back, my long lost smile...

silence

A lush green park,
in the evening light,
surrounded by hills,
priding their might..
The sky behind,
with it's reddish glow,
with fluffy clouds,
in a silent flow..
The singing birds,
heading home-
little black prints,
on the reddish dome..

To this sight so rare,
I paid no heed,.
No!.. I'm not blind,
or a different breed..
I was just lost,
in a rarer sight..
It was beauty,
at it's height..
Those black pearls,
in a background white,
vibrant and dancing,
in the evening light..
I saw myself,
floating in them..
My reflection,
like that in a gem..

And in those eyes,
I saw it all..
Her joy and pain,
rise and fall..
Her secrets all,
with nothing to spare,
her heart to me,
she held bare..
For a long time,
I was trapped in them,
until I could,
no more see them..

Then we stood,
ready to go..
We headed home,
our steps too slow..
As I lay,
on that night,
staring at the ceiling,
devoid of light..
I thought of the day,
and it dawned on me..
Sitting in the park,
for hours three,
not for once,
did I say a word,
nor from her,
was anythin heard...

I called her up,
in regret basked..
"how was the day?"
I simply asked..
"It was the best.."
she started to say..
"Of all my days,
the best was today..
And thanks to you,
my sweatheart,
for telling me all,
for baring your heart.."
