A perfect way to bid good-bye

Each second brings me closer
To the very end.
I sit here and wonder
Why did it all begin?

Can I wrap those days
In a final embrace?
Will I move on just fine
Or stay in this haze?
Will you kiss me till
It hurts no more?
Will you sing that song
Till I hear no more?
Will silence be my reward,
Or words your weapon?
will tears drown this sorrow,
Or a night soon forgotten...

A bit long or too short,
With a smile or a sigh-
Tell me, is there really
A perfect way to bid good-bye?

Delicate

Eyes whisper. Lips dream.
What’s the story?
Between you and me.

No past to reminisce.
No future to behold.
Then what glory
Will today unfold?

Hopeless hope.
Desires wait.
Our love?
Delicate!

My mamma was wrinkled
With light grey eyes
Her touch so gentle
And aura so wise

Coming back from school
Holding her hand
She asked to me prefix
Mamma with grand!

Copying her writing and habits
And sharing the same plate,
My office going mamma I loved,
But my grandmamma was just great

Soon on the road to perfection
Mercilessly I was moulded
Till I became independent
This child quietly emulated

After many years of prayers
To the good God above
She loosened her grip
And overflowed her love

I prided her workmanship
Flaunted being her granddaughter
Yet one fine day
I was greeted as 'stranger'

My wardrobe exploded
These curls grew longer
Buddies and Friends multiplied
But our time got shorter

I am now young
Grandma is getting older
I see age catching up
And remember how great we were

Life full of fun and joy
Times of learning and love i see
Days were bright and sunny
When it was Grand mamma and me!

Words unspoken. Eyes not woken.
Dreams are real
Rules are broken

Past is blurred. Future uncertain.
Who am I?
Presently unwritten

Shining eyes. Yours or mine
Reflections lie
there's truth in signs

Dried smiles. Flooded eyes
Drought of time
Drowned in silent tides

Shadows lurk. Promises forgotten
Eternal rain
Hope's forsaken

Missing pieces. Incompleteness
Warmth of love
Thwarting loneliness

Starry nights. Days of gold.
Memories' embrace

I am not alone!

voices in the head

Sometimes I wonder
As I aimlessly wander
If there’s anyone I’d met
Who had as a soul mate
Just the voices in their head


I look at you from afar
Like a child stares at the star
An angel you could be
So beautiful you seem to me
And the voices in my head

Soon the sun rises beyond the shore
Slowly, I see you no more
Don’t know if I end or begin to dream
As bright darkness blinds me
But nothing stops the voices in my head

Many faces. Even more voices.
Almost all I recognise.
But all so willingly allow me
To disappear in this abyss
With the voices in my head

farewell

one word to end the misery
drown, in forgetfulness, lovers' history
the beginning of something new
one word to make Us - me and you

one word bigger than many
than all the love, the kisses and honey
finally one drop defeats the mighty sea
what joy brings this heartless victory?

my hand's bejeweled with the promise of love
white dreams still shower from above
i still hear the music you made for me
around my neck lies my dearest memory

all that you are to me
how can i forget so easily?
just one word to mark a final adieu
alas! i don't know how to say farewell to you

You

I search within my weary heart
I look in places I never travelled before
That beautiful place deep within the soul
Even there, seeking words, I go

Shall I call you my angel?
Who stays with me everywhere I go
And quietly watches everything I do
Even when I do not know

Or are you my knight?
Strong and tall standing beside me
Fighting every battle in silence
Not letting the storm bother me

My sweet lover! My heart calls thee
Showing me how to humbly give
Many sagas I’ve heard of lovers dying
But your love teaches me how to live

A mystical elf, is that you?
So serene, silencing every fear
So beautiful I can’t stop looking
There’s magic when you are near

How can I put in words
What all you mean to me?
What name does one give
When they become your Everything!
