Love note by a non-believer...

The monks laughed in my direction...

Turning to look at the noises,

I could smell the wet roses...

Raindrops kissing my feet as I ran...

Up to the coffee shop,

A wet book in my hand,

I sat down to the brewing cup...

A crooked smile on my lips.

Mornings spent wrapped in the heat,

And the evenings worn off by walks,

As the night started to sneak upon me,

I would look to the moon that you look upon.

The corner lamp shone through the misty window...

Darkness enveloping me in a warm embrace,

Nightmares of unfinished business,

Cuddling amongst insomnia and nightmares...

Between love and lust lies this poet...

On thin lines...

Indifferent to taking sides,

Too curious to make a choice...

Merry Go Round...

Lets move to a place with no roads,
Where we can run in circles,
And we wouldn’t even know about it…

Where the people have no names,
‘Cos they don’t talk to anyone,
And the masks never come off…

Where the chores are divided perfectly,
Left to everyone’s pleasing,
And people walk with a constant smile…

Where the rain never stops,
Washing away everyday’s memories,
And each day is a new day…

Where every night toasts to the morning,
With a haze of smoke around,
And nothing else matters…

Where souls never meet,
Brushing past one another for eternity,
And no one remembers tomorrow…

Where you and I meet for the first time,
Fall in love with each other for a day,
And we forget it tomorrow,
Until we meet again...

Tabula Rasa!!!

Make believe is over…
Raindrops upon my palms…
Sweet kisses at midnight…
Lost is the abyss of mistakes…
Envy!!!

You said that you’d be here…
All I see are shadows tonight…
Shadows of a broken past…
Broken in curls of frost…
Greed!!!

Lying beneath unforgiving moonlight…
The bed of my own making…
Bitter roses of ghosts…
Proven right yet again…
Gluttony!!!

Time to let go…
To stop craving…
Back to who I once was…
In the midst of a lighted forest…
Wrath!!!

Times have changed…
People for the most part, not…
Songs of lost words…
Calls of a lone traveller…
Pride!!!

Broken cords with names…
Wishes lying in the basements…
Rivers of magical wands…
Drowned yet again…
Sloth!!!

Promises in dark alleys…
Broken on autumn mornings…
Love of a stranger…
Someday a stranger no more…
Lust!!!

Running into misty corners…
Voices of an alter ego…
Rush of sliding into fate…
Your smile ringing past my ears…
Judas misunderstood!!!

“Tabula Rasa!!!”, calls the wizard…
Maybe, Its never too late…
Stories of a different life…
Timed to return…
Hope!!!

The boy who danced...

Looking at the stars move past me through the dark skies...

in wilderness,

I know not how to stop them…

but in that crowd, I dance…

How faintly the moon lies tonight...

screaming in its silent cries...

kissing the edge of my cheek...

a light brush against my eyelids...

How silent everyone is around me…

those fingers among the moving lights…

the blues dancing in the moonlight…

smoke on waters forever…

How I dream of being lost…

of you and roses at 1 a.m…

of the magic dust between us…

of moonlight between our eyelids…

Parted loves belittled today…

smoke of that chamber moon…

waves beckoning…

kisses in stolen seconds…

That’s where I lie…

where the streets have no name…

fireflies in the sky…

dancing on the rainbow…

A kiss from that stranger…

who lost her way…

caress of a drop in the ocean…

Heartbeats of a lifetime…

stolen in a moment…

yearning to sleep tonight…

awake in your arms…

That’s when I leave…

when no one is noticing…

in a world I made my own…

blanks of a new time…

Limits for the limitless…

curse of a headless lover…

knowing not where to go…

in an abyss of multitude paradoxes…

Is this what I want???

pool of untitled…

lying in their own corpses…

not knowing their own…

Smell of the morning breeze…

mist of the night-fairy…

droplets of dawnbreak…

flowers lying curled up…

Tomorrow will be better than today…

I hear her say…

and I know she believes…

and that is enough for me today…

Cassandra lost...

Looking at the stars move past me...
Through the quiet dark skies...
In wilderness,
I know not how to stop them...

You helped me stop the stars once...
Through kisses on the lonely night...
Cries of a lost soul...
Entwined like forlorn lovers...

Stalker lives are not amiss...
Forgive me, I crossed the line...
But the line never concerned me...
I held back for you...

The talk show is quiet...
Dreams lost in a shadow...
Nightmares turning the last hope...
Maybe tonight I wake up!

Roars of a different time,
Memoirs of a lost whore...
The angel is transformed now...
I let go again, tonight.

Caresses of the invisible hawk,
Pushing the wrong buttons...
Snake eyes upon the moon,
Orgasms of my last night...

Making my way to an empty road...
Twilights of the forbidden life,
Promises broken,
Opening to moments shut...

Cassandra runs...
No resistance ot surrender...
The chipped walls smirk at her...
Crawling into black holes...

Closets of unclothed lovers,
Forlorn in moments of cries...
A sign on the door says otherwise,
Taking over lost nights..

Eyes closed to tarots...
Signs of disaster thrown offboard,
One more truth and I redeem...
Let the lost stay lost...

If only...

I crave for what I've lost... I crave...

I crave to see sunshine on that windy terrace...

crave to listen to old christmas carols...

crave to dance and have the music keep on going...

crave to listen to floyyd in dark corners of my mind...

crave to go to places I have not even heard of...

crave to meet people whose stories I can tell...

crave to see movies till the early dawn...

crave to sleep for 24 hrs...

crave to read books of authors unknown...

crave to go back to my roots...

crave to move away from my roots...

crave to hear the butterfly fluttering around my ear...

crave to catch the 1st drop of rain in my hands...

crave to dance in the moonlit night...

crave to sing in an empty auditorium...

crave to lie down and dream...

crave to talk for endless hours and not look at the watch...

crave to hold you and not have to let go...

crave to kiss you without any other thought in my mind...

crave to miss the train and go to directions lost long ago...I crave...

And you know all about it...

A Knock Breaks My Trance...

My grave lies open,

As the crows hum a tune,

My ashes lie awake

And I ponder- Should I sleep?

The streets bustle with marketers,

They eye me from the corner,

As I lie on the bed again

A knock breaks my trance.

As he washes the blood,

A tear strolls down,

My hands tremble with pain,

Something lets go deep inside.

I hum a tune long lost,

As the steps drown away,

You gave me no reason to stay,

And, the grave still lies open.

The walls are closing in on me,

I feel distant trumpets blowing,

Even as I dance around,

My fingers now numb away.

A faint murmur breaks my trance,

I run my hands about the cot,

This plight seems almost fortunate

But, the crows keep singing.

The picture on the wall smiles at me,

I pass a checking glance around,

The lecterns are all empty now,

And the joker just moves around.

I shift from side to side,

Yet, the pain submerges never again

As I close my eyes to dream,

A knock breaks my trance.

“An angel has been raped”

Cries the pageboy below,

“Why now?” I smile to myself,

And again, the knock breaks my trance.
