Celebration

Sky afar
Stars glitter
Moon smiles
The night is young
Visions emerge
Dancing waves
Reaches and recedes
Evening song
Croons the breeze
Warming my heart
Melody divine
Destiny adorns
A nebulous haze
Labyrinthine maze
In vain I seek
The path beyond
But will l stall?
Or hesitate?
To surge ahead
In quest forlorn?
Not till my soul
Satiated rests
In bliss sublime
In bond ever strong
Hope is my torch
I lift ablaze
Grit is my arm
Wrapped along
Hold my hand
Despair I lest
Hold me tight
In embrace strong
Stars shall swoon and;
Fall at our feet
Moon shall glow
All day long
We shall then
March in tune
Hug in delight
The horizon beyond
Sun shine then shall
Never elope and
The nights shall
Stay forever young

Conviction

Where there is no hope
I trudge along purposefully
Where there is no light
I glide through with confidence
Where there is no dream
I slink in deep slumber
Where there is no beginning
I look for the black hole


Perhaps I am the fool
Who beguiles treachery
I am no angel, I know
Yet I wish I had a magic wand
To sweep off the grudge
of trickling sands
And throw a challenge
To the Divine Lord
Oh Father!  fear you may not
I shall overcome.....


Someday.............

Hope!

On this wet night
With the moon hanging low
And the stars hidden behind
Billowing dark clouds
Hope seems like a stranger
Knocking on the doors
Of a wretched warrior
Uninvited....

Eager I am to unmask the veil
And see for myself his scarred face
In the light of a flickering candle
Protected from the ghoulish winds
Just by the crook of a shaking palm

Let him come in weak and debilitated
Staggering on injured legs
Dripping blood
Oozing pain
At least he is not lost completely
In the labyrinth of life

He has sought his path
Into my heart
By a stroke of luck
His fluid entry
Is my light

Let him draw close
And embrace me tight
I have waited light years
For this torrid hug

At last...

LET'S UNWIND

Let's go back to those raw pages

When words had not found pain

Hopelessness had not dimmed sight

Isolation had not marked oceanic distances

Tears had not coursed a way through joy

Sculpting a jagged path amidst innocence

Death had not bereaved solitude

A smile had lit the irises of the eyes

A dream had welcomed each night

A hope had shown us the way

A hand had extended in support

When I had tripped and was about to fall

Lets go back to those days of speechless empathy

Look into each other's eyes

And find thousand stars glimmering love

Let's start afresh my friend

Let's begin from the very beginning
