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
