Zephyr

Clueless of the world around, I raise my arms……
To embrace the zephyr, that is talking a silent language…
Unable to comprehend what s being conveyed…
I purse my hands and bring it closer to my ears….

“Here are your friends to keep you company”, it said…
“Hold them close as true friends are a few!”
A bunch of flower petals are thrust in my arms...
Shades of Yellow, red and colors so new…

I caress them gently and treat them with passion…
I study their abstract inward beauty with admiration…
Overtly hospitable as I am, I give them a place to stay…
Right there in the unfathomable depths of my heart…

Slowly I start dreading the wind and anticipate its ferocity
I order it to retreat, being possessive and selfish…
Offensive it gets, ravenously it charges……
Rampages my ecstasy, I’m left with remorse and anguish...

Each colored petal moves in a different direction………
It now yearns for a selfless person, a different destination…………
I repent my actions and pray for forgiveness….
“Come back O wind; help me find my friends!”

Then a wish to fly away with the wind is overheard...
A pair of beautiful wings is gifted…
I swing them to and fro, I’m being levitated…
Here I go…..to rejoice and reunite..!!!!

AFFLICTION !

I lay painless, in a pool of blood…

Even the days bright sun, gave up, when the wound refused to dry.

I had tried hard to see what could hurt me more..

But the pain u inflicted was more painful that I could not even cry.

I stabbed myself, It did not hurt…What hurt me more was you…

Each time I thought about it.. the affliction was something new..!

Everyday there was a hope that things would be better

I loved you with all my heart; I gave you my everything…

U chopped my trust into pieces; Ripped me off my self esteem,

U gifted me with a shattered pride, am now left with half a wing..

I slit my wrist, it did not hurt.. You butchered me, yes it was you..

Each time the knife tore my skin.. the affliction was something new..!

While I am growing weak, there is something within, that beats for you…

Are you so callous, why cannot you see that I still feel....

When I blink I capture your image… When I breathe, it speaks of you…

You stripped my confidence, but my love for u, u can never steal..!

I cut a finger, It did not hurt…What hurt me more was you…

Each time I thought about it… the affliction was something new..!

The times when we kissed, when you held me close..

It was all fake and I was used like a whore..

I leave this world with a lot of bruises, one for each time you deceived..

If am ever re born, I will still love you and of that am sure..

I burn my lips, It does not hurt… you burnt me alive, it was you…

Each time the flame eats me up… the affliction is something new..!

Happy valentines day.!!!

In a crowded lane when I walk alone,
I stretch my hand and I can feel your hold.
It gives me strength, further I tread…
To accomplish goals, to strive ahead!

When I sit by the window, clogged by your memories
My lips widen by its soothing pleasantries…
As I recollect those blissful chirpy times,
I efface the desolation, I am sad no more!

I shut my eyes, I drift away
While in my dreams, you break in
Being left footed, yet you dance
Just to keep me company as I sway!

As I gape at the blank wall, you read my eyes
The phone rings and there you are….
With your banters and gags, I go hysterical
Thus my sob stands defeated by my chuckle!

When the darkness closes in there, the sun shines bright here…
As the tears of anticipation dribble down here, you bathe in snowfall there…
This severance is difficult to comprehend, tough to bear…
Come back, here are your people who care!

In all your troubles I pray you smile…
Embracing life and enjoying all the while…
Through your eyes I am viewing the world; and I see you shine…
But I sorely miss you, my valentine!
