Yearning

With your each utterance my yearning grows
my longing grows heavy on me
my heart skips a beat
catches a few...
Everything poised in silence for
the perfect moment,

for the moment when we meet
far away from this land

of pain and hunger
in some distant land

Where blue winds blow
where there's no hurry
where the grass is all furry

let the winds carry us to its home
let the lips embrace each other
let the two bare bodies become one

under the bare moist earth
and share what no one else could hear

Your smell fills my nose ...
every nostril wakes up from its slumber of ages
as if they have been waiting just for you

Here lies my bare body tired,
wreathing...hold me tight,
Oh dear!, hold me close to your bosom. 
Lips to lips we kiss…lips to lips we talk ...
 eye to eye we see each other.
Your hair caressing my face...
I am comforted by your warmth ...
take me onto lap, hold me tight.

Drink as much as you can for there's plenty 
plenty for you to be lost 
for the stream is eternal 
for I know you have been thirsty for ages 
for the thirst is eternal.

Eye to eye we see but as one
there's no you and I

Wish I could lose my skin
curl up inside you and hide somewhere deep within you
wish u could shed yours too
and let the wind will carry us on the moon's gondola...

Blind Dreams

Dreams rise up like a ring of ashes

From the burnt up cigarette kept on the ashtray

As if waiting for someone for a last drag

Like the flame of the candle flickering for the last time

As the last cry of the wolf before the dawn breaks in

As I slowly tread into a sleepy world still covered with

numbness of yesterday’s dreams and the crouching tomorrow .

As the last sigh before the unshed tears sets in the heart forever.

My face still dry with unshed tears,

it’s getting wet with drops of moistness of dreams

in a state of melting 

as the ice candy on the tongue

As the ice-candy melts on my tongue ,

fresh air from the morning touches my tongue.

Yesterday’s stillness sets in,

 giving way to today’s uncertainty

I see masks hanging all around me

Shirts, t-shirts, blazers and what not

All for different occasions

I am confused!!                     

Which one do I choose?

Dreams of tomorrow hidden in yesterday’s sleep

melting away, dreams hanging up

like a dust in the fog..

Yesterday’s misty dreams of love, pain, yonder, bliss

give way to today’s mask of

grinning faces, smirky faces, smiling faces, nodding faces

All the long sweet conversations we had in the dreams

Are transformed into today’s unspoken silence between us.

Absence seems more real than the presence

silence seems more eloquent than the utterance

It is eternal; it is always with me,

it is within me, I could feel it

it moves with me, shows me the path

consoles me .

I open my eyes ,

but only to be blinded by the light,

everything around seems distant

as if mired in a mist of dream,
