Come back; can you dare?

When I see you in my dreams,

My heart for you loudly screams:

Please come back to me my own,

Like this I can't go on for long.

When hastily in fear you left me last,

I thought as always you'd be back fast,

But to see me you declined every time,

Just left me alone down and crying.

Ever since I've been waiting to hear,

Your voice whispering into my ear:

I do love you and you are mine,

Can you not wait for the right time?

Weeks and months have come and gone,

And yet I wait here hoping alone,

A gentle breeze will bring you along;

Don't you know it's been so long?

Sometimes I fear I am hoping in vain,

For when I go down our memory lane,

I wonder if you really did care;

If you did, come back. Can you dare?

Going Over

There is nothing more to write
I have written all I could.
My mind refuses to think,
What is there left to brood?
A strange feeling envelops me
I'm so empty and yet so full.
Heavy eyes and tired brain
Repel even trivial matters,
I want to sleep but it doesn't come
I move through time in a daze.
I hate to work, I hate to talk
Questions I loathe to answer,
The answers are so many
And yet there's nothing to say.
Friends, peers and others
Ask me what is wrong,
I lie to say I am well
When I know, as you do too,
Without you, I am going over...

Destiny Shrugged

My destiny from God I snatched
And gave it to my love;
She walked away with a shrug:
Who needed it anyway?
God and destiny laugh at me
As I stand forlorn without a path,
I've begun to dig onto the earth,
No further I can go.

Black Hole

The light of long dead stars
Crowds into my heart,
My dim flame it snuffs out
A black hole I too have become.

Heaps Of Ash

From the heap
Of my ashes
A tiny flame rises
Even as embers have died.
Don't nurse this flame
And fan it not,
For the fire shall consume
And leave behind
Two hopelessly pulverised
Heaps of ash,
Entwined
On charred ground.

Booms of Silence

The din of silence
Crashes into my 
Ears, shadows of despair
Crowd into my 
Heart; hands paralysed
By the weight of 
Distance, voice drowned
By the rattle of 
Quiet, I remain
Praying and pleading
To a stone
At rest, pelting 
Booms of silence...

Tomorrow

Two birds of joy
Perch on my tree of sorrow,
Harbingers
Of a golden tomorrow.
Again.......tomorrow.

Solitary Crow

I see the solitary crow
And take him as my lot,
For you've chosen to read me
As something I am not.

Stillborn Love

When I'm with you,
My love finds
A melancholic expression.
Exhilaration 
Suppressed, I wear 
A tormented look.
Voices I hear
Calling me away;
Having found you
I know I have not.
A stillborn love
I cradle;
Oh! how do 
I sing and dance?
