Death

Cyanide
Sarin
Valium
To each his own poison
When death seeps in
It doesn’t matter
How you embraced her
What matters is
Her kiss,
Which turns the lips deep blue
Your breathlessness
Excites her
Your pounding heart
Tells her of your love
Your pale cheeks
Will glow under her gaze
She is your beloved
You better go down on your knees

would you come by

If you could see
How our love slips through my fingers
Even as I try and hold it tight
Would you come by
To put your hands beneath mine
To stop it from trickling down
And being lost for ever

If I told you that I was forgetting
How your skin feels against mine
And your smell that wafted around me
Is becoming a fading memory
Would you come by
To embrace me once more
Letting me breathe the aroma of our love

If you saw me
Today
Roaming in the garden
Alone and lonely
Would you come by
Just to say hello?

Loved and Lost

Crimson red
Of virgin blood
Oozing out of a broken heart
The pain and the sighs
And the tears shed
I want to cherish them all
It was the first time
This special ache
Will rise yet again
As nostalgia
Somewhere in the future
Let me paint the memories till then
Onto a vivid canvass
And hide it
Away from the prying eyes
This mark of innocence lost
Of an era left behind
A reminder
That even I had loved
And lost

Revolution

The grains in the field
Are all burnt

And in the drought
The tears have dried
On sun burnt cheeks

The wasted bodies
And wasted dreams
Are rotting in graveyards

Sweat and grime
Are turning crimson
With anger

When the heart cannot
Stand fear anymore
Angst simmers

Revolution is erupting
From the parched mud

Blessed with Love

With every moment spent together
We are making our memories
Here and now
Slowly
Breathing life
Into an otherwise
Listless existence
We have together seen magic
Been a part of a miracle
And we will never disbelieve again
We know wonderland exists
For we have been
Blessed
With Love

Do you realize?
How wonderful your absence is
It makes every next meeting
More poignant
More passionate
After every meeting
I carry you with me
In a heartbeat
In a breath
In an yet undreamt dream
You rest as dew drops
Just below my eyelashes
And whenever the distances
Keeping you away
Start to become unbearable
Your molten self
Erupts
To plant kisses on my cheek
And slowly moves down my lips
To remind me of the feeling
Of your fingers caressing my face
As I sit alone contemplating
The crimson sunset
Our memories
Crowd around me
Catching the slanting rays of the sun
Dancing in a million rainbows
And I know
Somewhere
You are remembering me too

Dream

In the dream that I dreamt
For you and for me
The gorgeous moments of solitude
Did not wither
Under the harsh reality
Of everyday life
The touch
Did not turn stone cold
We sat lost in each other
And as you enveloped me
In your warmth
I found a reason
Beautiful enough
To make life seem worthwhile
