Poem – Point Of No Return
An intrusion is a breach
And an intruder is a convict
That’s the way it stays
No allegory can make it less juvenile
What if you’ve gone too far
And now what’s intruded
Is no longer in front of you
But within
This is the point which dries up my soul
I have given up all that I had
Now I sit and wait
At the other end of the river
With my hands all tied
And the silver brook flowing
Right over my face
This is the point when I want to recede
Back to the time when it all never started
Rue a dream
My arrested soul begs for a retreat
I know not a way out
It’s a sudden lull which
I wasn’t ready for
A void which comes between pleasure and duty
A stance of utter delusion
But I am glad if everything stops right here
For this is where I need to take a turn
Back where I was lost
Lost not dead.
Poem – Valentine’s Day
They say it’s their day, the lovers
And I thought everyday was theirs
A rose day, a hug day
A teddy day and one for chocolates
A day for proposals
A day for promises
A day for promises they have, the lovers
And I thought promises were forever
All these days of romance
Lead to that special one
The day, they celebrate love
The day, they celebrate themselves
They say “you will never understand
Coz you are not in love”
They say “you will be a skeptic
Coz you have never loved”
“You have never loved”
They said to me, the couple
The very moment brought about a faint smile
A smile that was filled with pride
Pride of having loved him
Pride of the promise
The Promise, that was eternal
The celebration that was divine
Eternal promise,
Witnessed by the moonlight
Moonlight shining in the lake
Moonlit night
By the lakeside
His arms
Giving me shelter
His hair, in my hands
As if protecting me from the moonlight
His touch
Making my heart tremble
His lips, calling my name
Yearning to be with me
As he took me in his arms
I closed my eyes and surrender
Surrendered myself to his love,
To his love, to my fate
They say love eludes you
I tasted love, as his lips met mine
As his lips met mine,
My heartbeat just stopped
As if wanting to live a thousand lives,
In that one moment
Even the moon was conspiring
Shining on his hair
Making me fall in love with him
All over again
The one night,
By the lakeside
In the moonlight
When we made love
Like there was no tomorrow
Even cupid will be envious
As It’s not even in his might
To write, a love story
So perfect, so ecstatic
And reminiscing my love
All this while
With that faint smile I just walked by
Letting them, the lovers enjoy their day
The day they call, the Valentine’s Day.
