Last Minute

Sooner we end this the better
The tomfoolery
The bickerings 
The fake smiles
The real tears
The abrupt touch
Of the hands
The dismal longings 
Of togetherness 
The hopes
The disappointments 
The disillusioned dreams
The loss , the pain 
Of losing
The aches, the burns 
The haunting memories 
The fear of knowing
The truth
The exaltations
The exuberances
The excitements
Of rapid heartbeats
The fading happiness 
The hurried parting
The last minute goodbye
Sooner it ends the better

One Day


One day 
I shall call myself 
Home
Sit across you
And sing a heart to heart 
Song

I have
So many questions to ask 
Hoping after hope
For honest replies
To the mysteries unresolved
To the dark side veiled
By  crooked smiles
To the tears unshed
To the wound untreated
To the pain unembalmed

I guess
You will open up to me 
And I perhaps eagerly  to you
Till we find the fulcrum 
On which to balance 
Our tears and smiles
Pains and relief
Wounds and sutures

Till then
We shall seek moments of truth
Unto ourselves 
With hearts half healed
Flesh half scarred
Notes unmusical 
Lyrics jarred
Thoughts unrevealed 
Unsaid, unfelt, unspoken 
Squashed
Mysteries unveiled
Yet far apart

One day
You and I will be one

Till then....

The quest continues
Unembarked

One day
I will bring you 
Home
You and I
Together 
Shall build a nest
Of songs and lyrics 
Of your and mine

One day...
