the moon is gone

Ah, the moon is gone
leaving the sky behind
and stars follow it
along the dark sheet
that was engulfed
on this beautiful earth

Along with it, is gone
the serene music of
waves of vast ocean
which happily took
colors of sky and
reflected them as is

Just before it left
I saw a drop of dew
that too reflecting
the whole of sky
along with the moon
and silvery moonlight

Now with the cool
moon gone for day
the heat here would
take the dew drop away
and the leaf it was on
will wait another night

Ah, what seperation
why this seperation
why does leaf  suffer
the pain and the heat
of being away from
its drop or dew

Am afraid that in
this hot sunny day
the leaf may wither
and never be the same
again to hold its
beloved drop of dew

But then I realize
the moon will come
but it will not be
the same as it was
the last night for
it would have changed

But the grass keeps on singing

But the grass keeps on singing
in the night under the moonlight
even when whole world sleeps
it dances to the tune of wind
and when sun rises from east
grass still is dancing with it
not effected by the light or dark
as its in love with the wind
as it is also trusting the earth
to keep it where it stands
and let the wind come to it
for grass to continue to sing
dance to its unheard beats

The saga is broken at dawn
no, not of dancing or singing
but of the solitude that grass
shared along with the moon
in dim light under dark sky
as the grass is joined now
by numerous birds who flock
on it to perch and feel earth
to pick up food that is there
clear out dry twigs from grass
yet, the grass is unperturbed
it knows it will be green again
for it to sing, dance with the wind

I have waited for you

My Love, I have waited for you
like a lonely sun over the ocean
waiting for the waves to reach
and extinguish its burning fire 
only to be tired by the dusk
and retire far into silent ocean
and weep where no one sees it
to rise again with same furor
to wait another day in hope

My Love, I seek you here
with my arms extended as
the expanse of vast ocean
waiting for all the raging rivers
of love to merge in its expanse
with ferocity but retaining grace
with joy of a child,  finding home
where it can live in forever
to then be one with my soul

My Love, I seek your eyes
into their own unexplored depths
as the trenches of dark ocean
only to find infinite worlds
that have lived there unknown
to me or to anyone in this world
with pain and agony that made
you cry inside of yourself alone
My love, lets share and cry together...

I see you

I see you,
in my dreams of tomorrow
in pupil of my eyes in mirror
in the rising waves of the sea
in gush of air filling my lungs
and in each moment of time
that slips like sand in hour glass

I hold you,
in closed clenched soul of mine
in every  blink of my eyelids
in hidden depths of my heart
in my memories of yesterday
and in fragrance of this earth
that lives in me, with me always

I seek you,
in each tick of the second arm
in each beat of my aching heart
in each vein that resides in me
in each breath of air that I inhale
and in each and every cell of mine
that has lived in hope of you

Embrace

Each dusk when sun sets
and colors of the sky
wrap their arms around
this drolling little earth
I remember you and
embrace of your hands
around my fragile frame
just before I were to go

My restless heart races
at each thought of that
lovely embrace of yours
as it lingers in my pores
Why, Why did you embrace
me then like the way
you did embrace me then
why, why my love why

How do I forget you now
for no other hands feel
like way your hands did
back then on that day
How do I embrace another
as my pores are fragrant
with the lingering aroma
originating from your soul

I was awake

I was awake all night
looking at the moon
and countless stars
and how the moon
passes by the night
kissing these stars
till it is tired for night
and retires from sky
to come back again
after a days rest

In midst of all this
I witnessed myself
as a sail of a boat
in middle of far sea
stranded, unmoved
missing my beloved
that gust of wind
to take me closer
to the shores of life
that wait there for me
in a land where you
where you and I live

In a land of roses
and colored lilies
where seeing you
I would get restless
as a wind seeking
those very rosses
their soft petals
and their fragrances
to rest with my head
on their shoulders
covered by the little
speck of thorn
protecting me forever
