The Road To Wedding

Together we weave this dream
Humming the song of love
Eternal togetherness it would be! 

Relishing the bits and pieces
Of passion, devotion, admiration
Aromatic bond blooming within
Dearer are these dreams

Time! Why doesn’t it just fly?
Oh! Magical would be the day

Wearing the shimmers and glitters
Entering from far away, I know
Dearer is nothing to me than being with you
Deep are those eyes that say, "My love
In life and death we won’t be apart
Never would I let this smile fade away
God has pronounced us Man and Wife" 

10 Rewind

Pre Script-"10 Rewind is a short memoir poetry of the 10 hours spent during Sunday. Its a part of my Legacy Writing series which i would keep following up. I was inspired by Ruskin Bond who i read through a large part of the day, although I do not follow his style or flow of poetry (he is a genius). The day of a li'll seclusion left a lot of space for introspection," says Rajeev Khanna



Like rising from the wrapped cocoon,
I get up from the winter veil,
Heading my way into the Sunday crowd,
I feel the sun and the scathing gale.

My Steps move down but I’m looking up,
a long lens vision ‘n a zoom out task,
Preparing for another odyssey,
I swallow the diet ‘n wear the mask,

My moves and tasks lack imposition,
A li’ll uncommon my words read here,
For all the years I’ve learnt to follow,
A treaded path with a wing and a prayer,

A breath of fresh air,
A gas guzzling smoke engine,
Layers of lifestyle,
Pot-holes ‘n high-rise region,

I jump into an ocean of words,
With a glass full of sand in my hand,
I go deeper, Diving and flowing,
In streams of water continuing my errand,

In the depths I see an angelic glow,
Answers to my asks in a treasure trove,
I keep the riches and spill the sand,
Out I’m greeted by the sky brighter but mauve.

An Ode to Cough!

Go away!
I detest you for the pain you give
And the times you make me groan

You are ugly
You are sad
You have made me ‘mad’

Why is it that you come?
And when you are here
You don’t like to return

Go away!
To the grunge you belong to
And never come back


Let me breathe
Let me smile once again
Why don’t you go away?

P.S.: This is a way of venting out my frustration as I had been suffering from severe cough lately.

Bet

Boisterous uncanny guess

Erasing all reality

Trusting only instinct

Autism

Augmented with ideas around,
Usual they may seem,
To them who understand.
I find them hard
Simple yet complex words
Mind is badly trapped

"Sigh of a Mother's Heart"

Floating through this stillness so deafening,

I feel an irrepressible twinge,

The night walks through me burly,

Not for a moment I could blink.

 

Reminiscences of the moments passed,

Make my eyes sad and teary,

Holding my hand you grew so much,

But now everything seems scary.

 

 

The time when I held you first,

I felt blessed with an angel so bright,

A thirst in me got quenched,

And everything else went out of sight.

 

 

You didn’t had words to explicate,

Still your meanings were implicit,

You couldn’t walk unaccompanied,

And my support was requisite.

 

 

We weaved dreams together,

Every step of you was planned,

If you had to seek me around,

Just beside you, I would always stand.

 

I gave you wings,

You flew in the sky,

But now its time,

That you come by.

  

My hopes have vanished,

My vision is now blurred,

I am lost and lonely,

I need to be heard.

 

 I know you have a lot to do,

You have your own world to look after,

Still I ask for you now,

As its only you I can seek hereafter.

Will You Marry Me.....

Wind was moving at a tranquilizing pace
I could sense its softening embrace
Looked at you from a distance far
Loved the way you sizzled under stars

You gave me a smile that ripped me apart
Our love seemed eternal under the moonlit sky
"Unveil the mystic countenance you have guy"

My heart pounded at a rapid pace
And i felt your magic from toe to face
Reverie of the moments spent together
Returned to me from the start and
Your mesmerizing touch allayed my heart

Moving on my knees i took your hand in mine
Easing my breath i said "Marry me and forever be mine"

LETS TALK

Let me hold you in my arms and
Ease the pain of your heart.
The tears from your
Sparkling wet eyes and your trembles

Touch me and hit me hard and
Agony is what that captures me, So
LETS TALK this out now my love to
Keep you away from hurt and dismay.

MY First attempt at Acrostic Poetry....:)

Sorry....

Didn’t even said you loved me,
And you hung up the phone,
I was so unlike you my love,
Guess that’s the way anger was shown.

You ran away from me,
For I said some silly things,
But baby I didn’t mean them,
They didn’t carry any meaning.

Still I know you were hurt,
And a promise is the only cure I have,
I will watch my words from next time,
This time if you could just forgive.

You own me, you have me,
I am your dazed stupid doll,
My smile belongs to you honey,
I love only you—above all.

I know I can’t undo,
Words which hit you hard,
I don’t know what else to say tonight,
I am sorry could only be the last said word.

~~Comparitive Rhtym~~

It was yesterday,

I was entrapped in certain emotions,

They kept me clutched to my past.

It is today,

I have cleansed those confusions,

As I don’t want them to last.

It was yesterday,

I had so much to face around,

I even drifted apart from myself.

It is today,

My heart doesn’t feel bound,

I am in a place where joy is fenced.

It was yesterday,

I wished I could run away,

From the life which took a toll on me.

It is today,

My soul can breathe and sway,

I relive and sense that I am free.

It was yesterday,

Oh!

I am Euphoric it was YESTERDAY.

It is today,

WoW!

I am CONTENT it is TODAY.

Chaotic Thoughts..

A dark lonely night,
There is plight,
What to do,what not,
I need an insight.

I am baffled with this quest,
My senses are numb,
Everything is hazy,
Wonder what life has become.

The more I think,
The more I am lost,
Still I am seeking,
An answer at any cost.

Happy Valentine's Day...

My nights were lonely,
My dreams were dark
I don’t know from where you came
You lit my heart

I was broken from inside
My senses were dead
You held my hand
And brought me back

You gave me strength
When I was the weakest
I drew towards you
I left behind the rest

You came near to me
You molded my heart
I sank into you
Now I don’t want to part

You gave me comfort
You made me smile
You didn’t let me frown
Even for a while

You are my dream
You ended my search
I got you
I got the best

THe Thread of Love..

Girl o girl may I pucker the rosy lips of thou..
Through the seas of high valour..

On the voyage of love..
Doeth you come in my arms..

My damsel let your head rest..
Your eyes beholding mine..

Sound of scarlet, colors violets..
All cometh in your ways..

Thou fingers on my face so cold.
Just fills me up with glee..

Thou touch is so soothing..
All my pain just flees..

Thou smile lightens a million hopes..
Thou eyes are so deep and pure..

I may not want to drown in them
But I want to live in them for sure..

Sometimes near..sometimes far..
Sometimes with you I cant be..

But my love wherever you are..
Thou memories are always with me..

Thoughts of you grip my mind..
Words go dry my loves all pantomime..

You cometh into my heart.
Thou special place my valentine..

I hope to be blessed..
With thou lovely presence..

I hope we stay together..
I hope our love remains alive..

And we walk hand in hand through this life..


P.S.---This poem is not Created only by me,but with someone..

Mia Vida..

With Every Morning I want to feel the warmth of your breath..
With Every night I want to sleep with the scent of your skin..
Putting my arm around your waist I pull you close..
And seal our love with my lips on your lips so thin..


I want to run my hand through your hair..
And whisper words of love in your Ears..
I want to hold you near and tight..
And free you from all your fears..


You stare at me with your sparkling eyes..
And your gaze makes me weak ..
I want to melt in your arms my love..
It’s only you who I always seek...


Your love follows me everywhere
Your touch is so soothing, your lips so soft..
I belong to you my baby
You rule my heart and my thoughts..

A Tear speaks for itself....

I was entrapped in your Eye
Ever since you were hurt and went through pain..
But now I am free
I am glad your efforts went in Vain..

Why do you hide me away
And never give me my own space..
I know in my presence
You loose the beauty of your lovely face..

Every time you give me vent
I relieve you from the burden of your heart..
I prepare your soul
For a fresh and hopeful start..

However long the tale is
I cut it short in breadth and length..
Don't think of me as a Weakness
I am your Innermost Strength..

Let me forget...

Let me forget the smile you brought to me,
As I know I have learnt to smile without you now.

Let me forget all the fights I had with you,
As I know I would not mess with you now.

Let me forget all the fun we had together,
As I know we can’t be happily together now.

Let me forget all the conversations we had,
As I know I can only talk to you now.

Let me forget the way you held my hand,
As I know I would not give it in your hand now.

Let me forget the care you always showered on me,
As I know I can’t let you do that for me now.

Let me forget the need I felt of opening my heart to you,
As I know I won’t share anything with you now.

Let me forget the comfort we had between us,
As I know I can’t revive that now.

Let me forget all the promises you made to me,
As I know they don’t have any meaning for you now.

Let me forget the blind trust i had in you,
As I know I won't confide in you now.

Let me forget the close friend I had in you,
As I know our friendship is lost somewhere now.

Let me forget everything…..
As I know I can’t REMEMBER anything now.

LET gO...

Strings are loosing out
The connection is gone
It was supposed to be forever
But couldn't last long

Nothing is wrong
But nothing is even right
Forget about the future
Even present is not bright

When more than pleasure
Something holds you back
Its better to give it up
To come back to track

Yeah..its not easy
To give up and move on
Just sounds impossible
But have to go on

Whats the point of holding
To something which is dead
Whats the point of doing efforts
When someone doesn't wish to go ahead

Nothing can survive
If its not from the heart
When relations go sour
They need a brand new start

Memories will always be cherished
Even if they were just for a while
And now I let you go
Let you go with a smile.....

"Inside Out"

How amazed I am at my own self
How I had been living my life
How I let go all my happiness just in a short while
I kept looking for bliss where it wasn’t present
And when I didn’t get it I found everything unpleasant
Wherever I went I used to spread smiles
But now my own smile seems to be lost
I am loosing which I am loved and adored for
When did I became so hard I couldn’t decipher
Its high time I get back to my real self
I have asked enough, now I don’t need help
Nothing can make you smile
When your heart isn’t willing to do so
But now I am not gonna be like this anymore
I will fight and bring back the flow
Happiness is not outside but inside of you
Search for it if it’s not coming to you
My search in on..And things look brighter
I will soon bring back the feel good factor…

FalSe Hope...

Yet again I am thinking,
Why can’t I let this go?
Why it looks so hard?
The truth- off course I know

Yeah..You aren’t mine.
And you will never be
Still I hope in my heart.
I will hear you say you want me

Yeah...I am hoping
Hoping A hopeless hope
It’s not going to happen
There’s just no scope

I don’t know why
I just want to run away
From you my love
As I know I can’t make you stay.

This heartache is deep
This pain is real
But I know it’s not your fault
I know how you feel

You can’t give me
That what I am asking for
Love just happens
And you don’t feel that for sure.

Still I wish it works out
I am still in many doubts
Oh baby! Just be here with me
It’s U, it’s I...but it could have been “We”.
