Love finds its way

There are times
when we clash.
Ablaze, we sleep.
The night grows
and the sleepy me
unknowingly tilts over 
to your side of bed
and snuggle by your side.
Like nothing had happened.
A sunshine ray.
Tomorrow starts with you.
Love finds its way.
Every single time.

Love

 And 'tis be our aim. 

Guided by faith, hope and love. 

And of these, my dear... 

Well, love stands at both the ends... 

the fount and the terminus.

Musings Of My Heart

 Oh! And I can imagine her.

 

Dressed in a checkered shirt and jeans.

Sitting on a black ergonomically designed chair,

with cushioned shamrock green seat,

her head buried in

some thick weather-beaten file,

with dusty and damaged cover,

and pages permanently curled up.

 

A heap of such voluminous folders

strategically arranged

in a red 10*8 office basket,

placed to her right for easy access.

 

Then there’s sheaf of papers stacked on her left,

which are to be dealt on priority.

Kind of to-do list for the day.

 

And somewhere on this little beige wooden platform,

that she likes to call her workstation,

she finds space to fit in

the sanitizer, the stationery holder

and her thermo-steel water bottle.

 

There are many windows open

on her desktop screen.

Clearly multi-tasking,

Finishing this, finalizing that,

getting many things done simultaneously.

 

Handling a phone-call with one hand,

replying to an e-mail with the other,

her face determined but soft,

her mind set on current reference.

 

The distinct rhythm of printer,

the ringing phones here and there,

the monotonous hum-drum of office,

 

and in between all of this,

I cross her thoughts.

Randomly.

Just like that.

You know…

May be.

Just like that

 And just like that. 

I babble deep into the night.

And you caress me,
touching my soul, 
without touching me.

You don't hear me speak.
You listen.
To the spoken, and,
to the silent
sonics of my heart.

You listen.
Not to answer.
But to understand.

Just like that.
You indulge me
into being myself.

Just like that
you walk through the mesh
of arteries and veins
and settle in some auricle.
Mayhaps ventricle.

Oh, it doesn't matter!
As long as you are there for me.
In my heart!

Impromptu

Just like that, you walk into my life.

Chance meeting.

And you decide to stay back.

For a little while.

And then extending your stay.

And just like that I pick up my pen.

Impromptu scribblings about us.

Gradually becoming a book of poems.

Like our eternal echoes.

Bliss

Sweet bliss, 

beneath the surface of night, 

and then, 

hushed, hasty unveiling

of the rosy dawn.

Ah! The reminisces.

Dream #writephoto

I looked at the prompt picture and was instantly reminded of the timeless number 'Dekha ek khwaab'.

After toying with the idea and words... I came up with my translation of the spellbinding musical inspiration.

And as far as I can see,
the mesmerizing spread of
blooming lavender flowerbeds,
'twixt us.
Such an overwhelming,
stunning,
and engulfing,
array of emotions.
Such rash of events.
And all because of one dream.
One beautiful, wondrous reverie.
Life, with you in it.

Bluntly romantic

It’s as simple as that.
I love you.
With every iota of breath
that I have.

That I heart
all your smiles
and all your flaws.
That you are
perfect
in all your imperfections.

Forgive me,
I know no poetry,
to say this
any more artistically.

This is just to say

The secrets floating
in your
deep hazel eyes
speaking silently

and urge
to unravel stories,
slowly
translating them

Forgive me
I fell headlong,
completely enamored,
totally consumed .

Susurrations of love

The evening hangs on branches.
Dusk. Dust. Quietude.
Rustling of leaves.
Whispers of yesterdays.
Beautiful slideshow.

Long time!
And I yearn to steal,
from the scrapbook of life,
pages, where we had inked
our togetherness.

Forgive me, I hear your voice,
and forget to breathe.
The susurrations of syllables,
leave sultry goosebumps, on my soul.
Still. After all this while. Everytime. Always.

This is us !!!

The chaos outside, that cacophonous milieu,
with the typical incessant, inharmonious chatter.
And then I hear you speak,
rich, sonorous syllables,
in a rich, sonorous tone.
And suddenly all voices fade,
noises recede to the backgrounds,
becoming unnecessary and irrelevant.
The echo of your words,
ringing till long after
in the deepest corners of my heart,
like a calming rein on the wayfaring mind.
This is us.
You and me, winding down in each other’s company,
finding our own sense of calm in being together.
Our hearts, those perfect zen corners,
crafted with passion and
embellished with vivacious love chimes.
