That Lady In The Mirror

 

I WISH….

I wish… I wish…

That I could fly-

Over mountains, rivers and

Skies so high.

Where love knew no bounds

And none would cry,

Where none would cheat

Or even try…

Where sorrows are lost

            Impossible to find,

Where friends would love

            And foes be kind.

I wish… I wish…

That I could fly

To a land of dreams where

            hopes unwind…

Where the feel of love could

            Hold back time.

Where the one I loved -

            Would be mine.

I wish… I wish…

That I could fly-

Over mountains, rivers and

Skies so high.

A New Lease Of Life

Spring steps in

And with it come the flowers.

The barren land does brighten up,

To see the fresh green grass.

Trees bereaved of their yellow leaves

And stripped of their foliage thick.

Their barks do tear, and does-

Emerge through it, a fan of tender twigs.

I was shattered

And broken, when we did part.

Lengthy days and endless nights

I spent nursing my broken heart.

Like autumn wind - blown tender leaf

I await eternal peace.

I wish this spring brings joy to me

And grants my life - a lease.

Love That I Deny

(To two friends who belong with each other but do not believe it… yet!!)

When you look me in the eye…

That broken… Uneven sigh!

How do I hold my ground?

Why should I even try??

Every minute together is a memory

A Coffee, A chat, an eyebrow in the air

Every word and action makes our story

Every laugh goes down in history

Wasted it was to keep you at bay

Hopeless attempts to stay away…

Endless love or fear of loss

Don’t know what holds me back today?

To deny something so true…

Lose those moments- precious few?

Give up this urge to hold you close…

But how do I deny this love for you?



I Don’t Remember Me…

With each passing day

I don’t remember me…

The sound of my laugh

Careless and free...

The console in my yawn

The comfort of sleep…

The song on my lips

Stirred from the deep…

The tale in my eyes

Secrets they keep…

All those little things

That make me – me…

Slip away with time

Like they’re meant to be.

This blur I call life

It makes faking easy

The truth of my life

Is my lost identity…

No time to think

Of what I’ve become

To ponder over

What’s to come…

Moments to cherish

Are drops in dark seas..

With each passing day

I don’t remember me…

This shell that you see

Is not the real - ME
