My Love...

My love…

What is it about you my love?

That you come uninvited…

Filling my empty heart

Overwhelming my senses

When I searched not for you…

What is it about you my love?

That I want to break into

A dance, a song

A smile for everyone,

Thinking of you…

What is it about you my love?

That the colors and hues

Of my dreary world

Intensify to a riot,

Vibrant and intense…

What is it about you my love?

That I hold on to your hand

Never wanting to let go…

Wishing every moment

Never flitted away…

What is it about you my love?

That my desires and passion

Soar like an eagle

Reaching newer heights…

Exploring new dimensions in me

What is it about you my love?

That with renewed vigor

I embark on this journey

Of life, filled with strife

Without fear, without doubt…

What is it about you my dearest love?

That enwrapped in your arms

I feel rested and peaceful

At last…

ALONE NO MORE

ALONE NO MORE

The icy wind lashes…

She stands bracing

As it stings her eyes,

Teeth chattering,

Bones cold to the marrow,

She waits…

Rubbing her hands

For that illusive warmth

Her mind seized

With anxiousness,

An impending disappointment

Looms heavily in the air…

The dark shadowed mountains

Wait, watching silently

Vigilant like her

For the story to unfold…

   

The fog of uncertainty

Thickens…

As darkness swallows

Her lonesome self…

Every waiting moment ticking

Seems like a heavy

Crushing lifetime…

Her still warm heart

Telling her to believe…

He will come

But fear lurks

 Stealthily biding, to consume her

Somewhere in the dark

A howl shatters the

Cold dark night…

Is it an animal?

Or did that inhuman

Wail escape from her

Tormented soul?

 

She shivers…

Hope and Doubt

Dance in tandem

In desperation she holds on

To happy memories

Of them…

But as time trudges…

Her wavering heart

Gives way

Till not a flicker of light

Remains…

It is plunged in darkness

Numbed and chilled

She looks for him

In the swirling distance

One last time…

Emptiness beckons her

And she turns away

When…

A presence….

Strong warm fingers

Intertwines her cold

Listless ones….

Startled a moan

Escapes her cold lips

Disbelieving and believing

She is drawn towards

A heart beating for her…

He smiles

His love filled eyes crinkling…

She lays her head

On his expansive heart

Finally resting her weary soul…

Alone no more

I AM A ROSE….

I was a bud

Ready to blossom

Unfurling to the world

Innocent and naïve

Pleasure was mine

To give and receive

Then one day

Along came my love

Your touch,

Your gentle hands

Sent me on a pirouette

I bloomed

In all my glory and splendor

Crimson intensified…

I shimmered and swayed

To your every move

I was the rose

Whole and complete

You were mine

The world was mine

Till a day came

You let go…

As I fell from my heaven

To become one with

The dust

I withered and shrunk

My petals, my pride

Faded and crumbled

My cries lost in the wind

I lay there in my agony

Hoping and wishing

To be scooped again

In arms gentle and warm

To be born again

And fulfill my destiny
