An Ocean Apart

  

We are at the beaches

Separated by an ocean of silence 

I don't know the distance 

between us, at this moment 

You're seeing the sunrise there 

I am waiting for the sunset here 

Until then I will count the waves

That touches my heart

I miss the mystified smile of yours

And I miss your way of making me mad 

This endless ocean seems to be bigger

I can't swim that far, to be there 

I am just waiting for the ocean to dry up 

So that we can walk towards each other

When our minds are cooled 

Unsaid words are setting the tone

for the moments now

Even in this lonely wind

I can feel the warmth of your love

Emotions are far too strong to freeze

I tried to run away from it 

But when I think about you 

I rather wish to hold on to the hope

That you will find your way back to me

I don't know when I wrote this. I found this in an old paper book I used for writing poetry.

New Purpose

 I wish to paddle away

Farther from the past

To a new shore

Build a hut on the beach

Sculpt ideas with sand

See sunrises and flying birds

Seeking fishes in the dawn

Gaze the stars and moon

Beside a bonfire at night

And drown in new dreams

Find a new purpose for life

Friday Night

 Her risque gape

Sent invitation to join her

On a walk through the town

On a freezing Friday night

While streets were empty

She termed herself as an author

Told tales from her life

It turned fatal

When she offered a coffee

At her home

Snorting cocaine

I Wish

 

LONELY

 

Longing to have an accomplice

Oasis like, amidst the desert horde

Niggle, with an urge to share feelings

Eager to fill the emptiness in heart

Looking to spend leisure time with

Yearning to be the friend and lover

Wedding Knot

 

A Good-natured couple

Waited for so long

To tie the knot

With respuscular strings

Of love, to start a new life

They're drenched until

The last drop of the rain

Amidst the tulips garden

Exchanging vows of desire

With silver rings

Lost River

A lost river in the desert 

Dried up the source of lives

Farmlands became barren 

Animals were freed to death

As men couldn't find water

It uprooted tribes to salt mines 

There was a lake with salty water

They found a way to separe salt 

Everything looked white like snow 

Elders sang folk songs at night 

About the life in their villages

And their adventures in the river

The youth painted those images

About lost lifestyles and cultures

While the moon witnessed their pain

My 2AM Thoughts

My 2am thoughts

Hover around getting a deep sleep

Though I am medicated

I make plans for next morning

That I never see

I think about the lost love

I think about what it could have been

If I had visited her when she craved for it

Then wonder if Red Devils can win! 

Poetry based on word prompt from  #BlackDahliaProse

Shadows

I live

In the Shadows of regrets

I dream

In the shadows of nightmares

I walk 

In the shadows of moon 

I write

In the shadows of emotions

I think

In the shadows of medicines

I pray 

In the shadows of demons 

I wish

In the shadows of despair

Village Road

 

A muddy road towards a valley,

Arches of leafless trees welcome,

The travelers in the winter,

There are barriers on the side,

So that carriages don't get lost,

In the meadows nearby,

Someone is waiting at the end of the road,

For years to receive a long lost lover again

Silver Promise

 

A silver filigree carved with finesse

With layers of sparkling gold dust

And a pendant made of platinum

He wants to see it shine in her neck

It epitomizes his desire and affection

He wishes to gift it to her as a promise

To be her cohort in life forever

Lost Girl

 

I have seen the transformation of a girl,

From a tenacious teenager to a pretty lady,

While making me her secret keeper,

I saw her transform from a friend to a lover,

Showering me with love and compassion,

I saw her turning foe, with bitterness

Showering me with hurtful words

When it came to choosing love or family,

She feared that her family will disown her,

She chose to leave me behind forever!

Library of Souls

Library of souls,

A place to embrace the silence of the afterlife,

To let go of the burden from the past life,

Where one could communicate with mere presence,

Where you can find the long lost buddies,

And those bete noires,

Share all the pain from the previous life

and the dearest memories,

And dream together about new lives!

Fear of Love

 

She's listening to the melancholy

Of her beloved's sweet mutterings.

He felt he found a tender soulmate.

Again, after the demise of a bone-deep romance,

That withered his dreams and desires,

She is tempted for an eternal journey with him,

Until death part them apart
