The Others ...

Do they matter?
The others ...
She doesn't think so ...
What matters is the matter of his heart and hers ...
Why bother about what others have to say?
Why delve into nitty gritties of a leper society ?
Societal rules do not matter ...
Neither do people ...
For seldom have wagging tails been quiet ...
Silence is not the virtue of Gossip mongers.

The others ...
For them, why spoil your today ?
He says ... what if you were in my situation?
She has answer ..
I wouldn't be where you are ...
If you can't sustain a relation ...
Why begin it?
If you have fallen into the trap ...
Better play along ...
You can't play with someone's feelings ...
Walk away saying ...
I have responsibilities.
Where were these responsibilities ...
When you wooed her?
Now you remember your duties?
Where did the duty list disappear?
When you were courting her?
Don't wash your hands off her now ...
Not when she is already deep in love with you ...
Not when she is gasping for air ...
Not when she carries you in her thoughts day and night.

Had she been in his place ...
She would never give up on him ...
With conviction ...
She would own up her relation with him...
For she grew up ...
Never to back track ...
Never to give up ...
Never to step back...
She grew up defying stagnant rules of the others...
She grew up loving him.

The Others don't matter ...
They never did ..
It was always about Him and Her...
It was always about Them.

He has gone to the other room ...

Let go my love ...
Don't cry for him...
He wouldn't want you to ...
He wanted to see you strong ...
You carry forth his torch ...
He has just left the mortal life ...
He is in the other room watching ...
Let him go ...
No remorse ...
No pain will get him back ...
But following his preachings will...
He will live through your deeds ...
He will live in your thoughts...
He will live in you.

He is but the spirit in you ...
Do not let him down ...
He waits for you to let go ...
So he can soar high ...
The birds gliding in the sky ...
Amongst the clouds are with him ...
He watches over you as the moon ...
He smiles at you as a star ...
On starless nights ...
He is the breeze ..
That whizzes past you ...
He is with you my love ...
He is in you my love...
Look within ...
You shall find him there ...
Like all the elders from the past ...
That dwell in you memory.

Smile my love ...
For he is rid of his worldly aches and pain ...
Smile my love ...
For he left his legacy with you.

Think of him ...
And, move on ...
Let go ...
So he can go...
To the other room and find his peace there.

Her Reality...

He is her reality ...
A realization ...
Of who she is  ...
What she means to him ...
How she affects him ...
How he affects her...
How much he means to her...
How she waits each day for a message from him ...
To hear his voice...
How she yearns to meet him ...
He is her reality ...
Her ground reality.
She never asked God for another. ?
She always prayed for him...
Then and now ...
Her prayers answered ...
But, a big question mark remains...
Is she His reality too?
All her life she waited ...
Only for him...
She found him ...
But, a dilemma ...
Torn between right and wrong ....
Each day she lies awake...
Wondering what fate awaits them ...
For her, he is her reality ...
The only dream she ever had ...
Can she forego that reality?
Now that destiny brought them together...
She can't think of life without him...
What a fatal twist of fate ...
She has him, yet he isn't hers.

Her ground reality is his reality.

The power of love ...

She knows not what binds him to her...
Yet, he lingers on...
Like a shadow ...
The love from her past...
He stays put ...
Whatever she tries ...
To put him off ...
He doesn't budge ...
Believing her ...
Trusting her...
He doesn't walk away ...
He stays put.
The love from her past ...
He remains ...
Despite all her lamentations...
Her nagging...
Her cuss words ...
Choicest of abuses ....
He stays put ...
For he believes in her.
That is the power of love ...
Love in its purest form ...
Love of two souls ...
Conjoined somewhere deep within ...
A coitus made in heaven ...
A destiny ...
That had to be....
A love none can surpass.
A binding relationship...
At heart ...
One with each other ...
Not separate ...
They continue their love affair ...
Under the wraps ...
Wrapped in each others thoughts.
A love none can match ...
The power of love unimaginable...
They meet in their thoughts ...
One not separate from the other.

The power of love ...
Surpasses all boundaries ...
All barricades broken ...
Every moment cherished ...
Loving being there for one another.

The oneness shows ...
The power of love.

She still suffers her fate ...

So easy...
To say forgive and forget ...
When one is on the other side of the fence...
Watching only what can be seen...
She suffers her fate in silence ..
A smile creeping now and then...
Across her pale face ...
But, Is she over him ?
No, She suffers her forlorn fate...
Waiting for him to realize ...
She spake truth ...
He took it otherwise.

Just a few moments conversation ...
She became His ...
But, even in her truth ...
He forbade her His Love...
For He was looking at younger skin ...
She turned out otherwise.
She suffers her fate ...
Of loving Him ...
Who had no feelings ...
But, only otherwise thoughts ...
In her loneliness ...
She craves her Aloneness ...
She was happy in her Aloneness...
Loneliness has engulfed her.
She suffers her fate...
Waiting for realization ...
To dawn upon him...
Him , who stays far away ...
In a Land seven Seas apart...
She waits upon Him ...In her loneliness.

She still suffers her fate ... In her loneliness.

He is my Lover .... He is my Spiritual Guru ...

Universally known ...
For the World he is God...
For me ...
He is the World ...
My Lover , my Guru ...
When all else fails ...
I turn to him for advice....
He never lets me down...
He is there beside me ...
Loving me with benevolent eyes...
My Lover, My Spiritual Guru.

This World isn't enough ...
This lifetime isn't enough ...
Words aren't enough ...
To express the love ...
The passion I carry within for Him...
The Lord, Beholder of justice ...
Be my proof ...
Be my saviour...
He is my Lover, My Guru.

I cried a river...

I cried a river this evening ...
The tears welling up deep within ...
Filling the eyes and heart ...
The dam had to burst ...
It did ...
AND....
I cried a swollen rushing river ...
This evening ...
Feeling empty within ...
A shell with no lining ...
No depth within ...
Just an empty shell ...
Like a barren womb ...
Empty and echoing ...
An empty vessel resonating ....
The moanful cries ...
Of all tender heart hurt...
I  cried a river ...
Now all that remains ...
Is an emptiness...
Nothing but a broken heart.

I want to ... My Heart's Desire....

I want to want to wake up each morning in your arms, Legs entwined with yours , As one , My head rested on your chest, Waking up to your heartbeats, Heartbeats in which I hear you call me, No one called my name so sweetly , And with so much love ever. The same heart beats that sing a lullaby, And put me to sleep, Yes, I want to wake up hearing them. The last moment of my life, Should be gone in your arms, Listening to your heart, Asking me to stay longer. You asked me, How much I love you, I love you enough to, Go with your name on my lips, The last image , Just of you in my eyes. I want to wipe those lines of worry, From your face, Your tense muscles massaged, I want you to feel life again, To love and live again. I loved you, love you , And shall always love you, No matter what, For all I know of love is , It began with you, It shall end with your name, Writ large in my heart. Loving you is all I know... Loving you is my wish... I love you my Knight, My honour, My life....

My Heart's Desire ...

Just for you.
