Riding on spikes of unrestrained emotions
Free falling into you, I breathe you in my lungs

Ask me not why I don't write, I have nothing in me
No elaborate words, no rhymes, no poems, just you!

Haiku - Love

Love's utopian eyes
Seeks happiness where it doesn't exist
Blind Love!

You fill my senses with fragrances galore
Like a walk in the clouds and a soak in the rains

And I ache for your love, and it throbs, it throbs
And gushes to my lips - the urge to hold you tight
Look into my eyes and feed my hunger, and I can tell
It'll kill me, this desire, but kiss me insane

I know I'm your fantasy and your dream
I know you can't resist or deny anymore
Let me drown in your laughter and drink from your eyes
And flow under you like liquid chocolate

In your arms in your arms, take me off my feet
Let's sway to the music, make love all night
Untangle the knots in my smoky curls and dance on me
Pour into me till I reek of you!

Let your touch bloom like an oasis.. rain, invade
Ignite every longing of my parched heart
Till it beats in tandem with yours
Linger in me after you've left, love me such.. tonight!

Happy new year!

I don’t really believe in reflecting upon the year gone by... after all, in retrospect, everything seems great! The human spirit conquers all odds, all disasters, sometimes learns to live with them, but in the end, in retrospect, all is good  Thinking and hoping that I probably did the right thing, and then lurching at the thought that it probably wasn't. Sometimes taking lessons from the past mistakes (aah wait, does one really learn? When the heart has something to say, does the mind really listen? Does the heart pay any heed when the mind comes up with all its ‘gyaan’?); and sometimes, letting the status quo remain and simply playing along! Aaahh, not to forget the moments which were really happy and lived to the hilt. In the end, it just makes life a little more colourful 

I am of course, struck with a sense of wonder at how fast the last year went by. And I have observed that with every passing year, time picks up speed, moments flit past you, as though it all happened before the eye blinked next.

I only hope that the coming year brings along with it loads of happiness, love, good health, prosperity, and magic, for me, and to all of us!

Aftermath



Once we built that castle in a frenzy of desires
The one they write about in fairy tales
Where waters sang and clouds danced
We walked, lured by pregnant hearts

Once you etched my name with heaps of love
On the sand and barks of trees, possessed
By the thought of undying thrill
Impervious to fear or tryst with strife

And then, doom cast its shadow
Those vague melodies disappeared and
Wars were raged, of righteousness and self-pity
With word-webs of abstract, misled thoughts

Stories were told and mud was slung
And opinions christened; and each now sits
Snugly in his cloak of righteousness
Of what-was and what-could-have-been

The broken bond now lies in gloom
Soaked in the aftermath of the deluge
Naked in crowded rooms, so each could
Snatch at it, prey on it, and get his own view

Post cold-hearted murder of love’s labour
A decent burial is all it needs, an end that’s
As glorious as the beginning. And some solace that
There’s still something left to be happy about

Thought for the day

Never wrestle with a pig, you'll both get dirty, and only the pig will enjoy it.

I always called to talk
To say that I loved you
To ask if you missed me.

Let me call you now,
To hear how it sounds.

They're back again!

The messengers are here.

Messengers of
Cleaving teeth and shrinking flesh
And scalding thoughts and lonely days
Frosty winds wafting through the lips
Numbing minds and bleaching skins

And dull… icy corners

Lean days and narrow hours
Murmuring memories of sunny days
Raging waters sitting still
And watching life hibernate

It’s getting colder, and darker, and scarier

The messengers are here
… My chapped lips are here
_____________________________________________

Damn! If there is anything that I hate about winters, it’s my chapped lips, and I start getting restless. No amount of creams and lipsticks bail me out Something else I hate about winters is that I can’t wear what I want lest I freeze to death. I find it incredible difficult to first push myself out of the bed, and then to get out of the hot water shower and invariably get late to office every alternate day.

But what I love about it is long drives in the night, coffee at a small tapri at Chandni Chowk in my city... they serve incredible coffee, I tell ya! The air is filled with romance and thoughts of cozy nights. No sweat, and yes, the makeup remains intact

Abused



Caged, beaten, burnt
Trampled, violated
Held captive for long
By duty and love

Was helpless and timid
Learned, yet dependent
Completely crushed, I bore it all
Thinking it would change!

It didn't.
The melancholy remained.

I gave up
Picked up the shards
Of my parched love and dignity

And suddenly, I could fly!
