Moon and You

I long to see you each night
and this moon is a witness
Way the moon seeks the earth
and entire sky is its witness

I try to catch a glimpse of you
and then I chase your shadow
when moon comes out at night,
it does not have its shadow

How I wonder at times when
moon hides behind cloud's veil
where do you hide now tell me
or this air is also one of your veil

You hide from me for days
and do not show me your face
even then moon comes to me
each day with different face

Then in between it decides
to hide from me completely
then it teases me bit by bit
then face is visible completely

I hope for a such a miracle
should happen with your face
as long to seek you my love
I would get glimpse of your face

I gaze at the expanse ahead

I gaze at the expanse ahead
and pass the numerous stars
and that silver solitary moon
searching for that face of yours
that embezzled my little heart
only to be disappointed with
dark sky of this moonlit night

I gaze at the expanse ahead
and pass the numerous boats
and ships with masts and sails
searching for that little anchor
of your two shoulders to rest
my tired head against them
sleep in shade of your locks

I gaze at the expanse ahead
and pass the numerous dunes
and those little green oasis
in search of your lovely adobe
only to find myself wandering
in this never-ending sand
slipping from my hand like time

I gaze at the expanse ahead
on the green grass and meadows
and those bright colored orchids
passing through numerous rows
searching for your colors in them
to hold those colors close to me
and color myself in your colors

Loneliness

I love to breathe an air
that makes me feel you
and as I close my eyes
I just see an image of you
which resides in my heart
in tiny openings in there
which for me was small
but now I know space here

The tiny heart that appeared
to have nothing left with you
the same tiny heart of mine
is endless in loneliness of you
I speak a word to you in it
and I hear my voice back
after days, weeks, months
the voice still echos loudly

Ah this emptiness has expanse
where I cannot see its end
my eyes close for an instance
there I can see you standing
near me at each step I take
yet I cannot reach out to you
and how much ever i try
i still do not see its end in sight

Loneliness has taught me now
that hearts expanse goes on
from stars to deepest oceans
and yet the end is not in sight
in any of that huge expanse
but when it sees you in person
that expanse reduces to distance
between the pair of arms and lips
