he said
don’t talk
she never uttered a word
he said
don’t expect
she never asked him a thing
he said
don’t follow
she never took another step
then
he said
don’t love
& she broke
into a million pieces

He Said
Day: July 7, 2016
Walking in the Woods
walking, in the woods
listening to the silence
seeing the unseen
singing the unsung
smiling the pain
weeping the pleasure
holding the untouched
consuming the power
defeating the invincible
I have seen
the light of the darkness
I have realized
I forgot to live
I have learnt
to begin the end
Together, we were never to Sing
a song I meant to sing
I needed him to sing along
shyly indicated my intentions to him
we waited for the music to assist
we waited and kept waiting
were we deaf not to listen to the tune
screaming over and over to us both
assuring the possibility of the impossible
we were not meant to be what we thought
together, we couldn’t write a song
together, we were never to sing
I went ahead
they told me not to
informed me of the consequences
my well wishers pulled me back desperately
in hope of saving me from what was to come
yet i went ahead as i wanted to rise
instead, i fell in love
The Pleasure of Selling Wisdom
on a hot, sunny, summer day
in my car, I stopped on a traffic signal
an old man, must be in his 70s
came running to me, a pile of books in his hands
sweating, loosing his energy in the heat
offering to sell wisdom at a price too cheap
knocked at the window glass of my car
“would you like to buy some good reads young lady”
with no intention to pay him any attention
I simply nodded my head to refuse
he requested kindly, one more time
this time, I looked into his eyes
how moved I was to see a shine there
his silent eyes were narrating a story
choosing not to beg, he chose to earn his glory
even when his weak bones were making him suffer
he had decided to Earn himself his bread and butter
I bought a book from him for just Rs 150
along with the book, came many blessings
he smiled gently at me, as I started to move
his eyes shone with a pleasure divine
as he waved me a pleasant goodbye
his happiness, his smile just made my day
I looked back to see him walk with pride
approaching another young lady in her car
to continue with his journey
offering to sell the wisdom unmatched
My Saviour
thick dark blanket as I looked up in the sky
searching for an angel I struggled
many stars shined, refusing to flow their light
smiled and twinkled far, for their own selves
my heart ached in anxiety
I wondered of my state without any light
stars had refused, left me deprived
was this to continue, like it had till now
till this date, for the rest of my life
pain emerged, started to flow through my eyes
with helpless hands, I covered this face of mine
that was when, I sensed a presence divine
the air turned fragrant, the breeze brushed my soul
I wondered to dare to uncover my face & as I did
a calm, serene light shined upon me
dedicated itself, it bathed me to be pure
consuming all my pain, all the darkness
it was you my love, to bring me the light
I worried of no dark thereafter
for you became my Moon
my Saviour
I am not a child anymore
my eyes dried of tears
my expressions don’t cry along with me
when i can’t take it no more, i scream with pain
yet, no one seems to notice
then i tell myself
not to worry
it’s got to be like this only
i am not a child anymore
Will you? My Love
ever, if I fail to walk
my pace is slow to match yours
enlighten me my love
will you wait for me
ever, if I fail to see
the beauty hidden in this life of ours
through your eyes my love
will you let me see
ever, if i fail to hear
the music played by the waterfalls
& the honeybees
through your heart, my dearest
will you sing to me
ever, if i fail to hop
on the trampoline of joy
your strength, my dear
will you share it with me
i am aware, you’re going to say ‘Yes’
you shall never
deny my request
still, i need to hear once more
from you my love
please say it again just one more time
a ‘Yes’
to all that i ever
ask from you
We Write a Saga Sensual
its not only the moon and the stars
not only the sun and its rays
its not only the ocean and its waves
not only this wind and the waterfalls
its not just the woods and the rivers
not just the colors of the rainbow
today i tell you my love, its not just them
not only just them, who hold the stick of magic
their saga is old, the world knows it all
today in this moment
it’s YOU and ME
as we make love to each other
we write a Saga Sensual
was it too much to ask
tell me
was it too much to ask
if I asked for just a little smile
a spark of just a little happiness in my eyes
you knew my journey till now was exhausting
you knew I was desperate for some rest
you knew enough tears I had shed
you knew your love would have strengthen me
you knew I loved you, gave my life to you
how could you be so heartless to desert me
how could you just let me die every moment
O my dear, tell me where did I fail, how did I fail
after all that I genuinely did to save our relationship
tell me my dearest
was it too much to ask
