silver lining

Saw a light that enlightened 
my soul warned me against the world
 told me a tale of pessimism
and a silver lining called optimism

The trail of its words is still clear
It follows me every where
The words that changed me
Purified my thoughts
Here I share
Follow me , is your choice
Your decision

 " I have put an end to your
unwarranted fears for the time being , 
Answered all your prayer
Now flutter and swing , 
Let he fragrance of jasmine
follow you every where
But one promise I need from thee ...
Choose an  affirmative road
One step here or there , on the road of energies
those are morbid and negative
Can destroy you
Life is a bed of roses ,if you may choose
right energy
 I hold no miraculous wand
But it is your thought process ,
 that will make your life
a bliss or fill it up with sufferings.
The choice is yours ,who do you want to give privilege to
Who do you want to carve your destiny "

over and over

.

I don't think I can call it poetry ....honestly I got a little lyrical today 
A light one hope you enjoy reading it...







Like a star shining in the sky 
that disappears , when the sun smiles

You don't forget to say "you are mine"every morning ,
 but disappear in the moon light

Is that the way to say "stay away ",when I begin to believe your eyes
 when I am on cloud nine

Can I ask for one night that wont see the next morning
that will stay till late

Can I see you once next morning , when I open my eyes
when I rise ,  can I see your face 

Now don't you say " God has been so kind , at least we met
so feel great , my love for you will never die , I am here to stay "

I am gonna hold my breath next time for a while , scare you once
so that you know , how you would feel when I am not there 

Now don't you make that face , nor I care for that awful glare 
your hot red eyes set me on fire , feel me I am ablaze

Can you see the droplets above my eyes , my nape too
has begun to perspire , feel me every where

Hold me , sway with me , relieve me of pain
brush your moist breath against my body , touch me with your angelic tips
and say " you are mine " over and over again !

my life

Vivid stars in my eyes
Speak of my victory on you my life
You thought you could steal

Many times you tried
I told you I am not the one
 "Who you could defeat "

Shower me with rainbow
Douse me in  sunshine
Sprinkle some stars on me

Lets be consorts my life
Now take my advice
Don't play hide and seek

You know I will thrive
Wont give up all  my life
No matter how hard you hit !

myrrh

Your reflection in my eyes ,
 Your smile in my dreams
Wake me up

Tell me ,why do you hide
Go away at sunrise
Leave behind your myrrh
Cant you see

I burn ,the flames are high
The aroma of my desires
Spread all over
Like a wild fire
Cant you feel

Your reflection , my life
 Concealed from my eyes
When the day comes by
Leaves me relinquished
High and dry
When I am on peak

Tell me why do you hide
When I lie by your side
Your lips caress my eyes
When I can feel your every breath of desire
While your body in accord with mine
In my dreams !

destiny

Few miles away
From sun rise
From stars that I often see
My voyage in thy world of mystery
I gape at new found life
Like they say , you spun it
in a way ,that you like
As it pleases thee.

The strides those had become tired
Have found a spur it seems
My futile attempts in search of reasons
of my being  , my existence
 gave in to new desires
came across new dreams .
My life you too had become unreliable
In fight but emerged as victorious
Gave me a reason to celebrate
rejuvenate , experience the feeling
of being in euphoria
I cruise like a cougar
amongst the misery , on burning streets .

The truth
The irony of life
I learnt , though took more time than desired
but I  know , I belong to thee
Am your loved one , you hurt me
You made me go through a trial
to make me a stalwart
who can face the gruesome journey
 am not named an escapist
who would kneel in front of fate
but erase the blemish of my"  Destiny ".

your lips

Once again few lines inspired by Daag Dehlvi ji , but in the form of lyrics


Your  beautiful eyes, left me gape
Your beautiful smile , told me your name
Your  beautiful hair , you left on my nape
Your lips made me wonder , if you would
ever say "you will be mine"

I could hear , what you were trying to say
I could feel your breath , though you left ...went away
Your beautiful hair , you left on my nape
Every time I look at them " my loneliness disappears
the feeling is so divine "

Look at me... one again
Let your smile speak for you
Let it say  again
Let your lips feel my nape... once again
But this time don't leave your hair ,I must say
Cant resist you , you are like an old wine
Let me feel the depth in your eyes 

Come close to me 
Let me feel your body close to mine ,once again
when I hear you say
"You were made for me, you are mine "

iris

 I heard your prayer
I saw you cry
It was a painful sight
The flowers you lay
got washed away
without a  smile
they graced the occasion
as a ritual on a usual day
My remains now washed away
with showers on the rainy day
When the moon took time
couldn't decide
whether to rise 
or remain harboured in its hideaway
For a while I craved
to be in your arms again
When I heard the sound of respite
I knew he has chosen to be magnanimous today
Am on a boulevard
that would take me away
from heart aches
I made up my mind
not to look back again
I looked at the sky
glanced at the glorious way
I lost my sight
when Iris held my hand that I waved
She whispered " Don't you worry
I am here to guide you to the world of fame
away from notoriety , away from the world
that lives in a guise "

evil eye

The blossom on aspen trees
has spread like wild fire ,
The humming birds seem to be on joy ride ,
I can see the butterflies at night ,
Twinkle in glow worm's eyes ,
 Recklessly they fly in the sky ,
Gushing water seems filled with joy
Sounds like music coming from Mandolin !


I don't remember having had grape wine
for some time ,
But can you  see
My smile has become tangible,
My heart beat sound like a Trumpet ,
Its evident from my blinking eyes ,
My heart is filled with joy ,
His phenomenal smile
has given me a new life ,
Life seems like sound of Bassoon !

Can you hear me " O evil eye "
Let him stay there for rest of my life ,
Change your ways for me this time,
D'ont say you can not  "those are your rituals" !

rhapsody

                                            
                         This piece of poetry is inspired by the lines given above


He heard my rhapsody  , heard my Iliad
He said " Hold me, unlax , now you are in my arms"

I showed him the trounce marks of destiny on my heart
He felt them and said "  They will disappear, next time when you glance at your heart "

I told him , " I will crumble,if you are not there, you are gone "
He swore and said " I may not be here but when you need me,  I am there, you will find me around "

He left to look out for stars , Disappeared  in the crowd ,
 I don't see him , nor feel him , don't think he is there he is around . 
But I hear him say " I am here , I am still there I am around "

How do I tell him  ,  I need him , am incomplete without him . I need his arms ,
How do I convey ,What are you looking for d'ont lose me while you look for the  stars
Don't bereft me of love I found . Hold me , before you lose me in the crowd.

life has just begun

I  have come far away , away from raven
an ebullient storm ,
Few miles away ,
Away from stardust , have become buoyant
Lighter than smokey cloud .

I followed a vibrant ray that lead me to the world of stars
Though am blind ,blinded by the storm ,
 Yet can see a doorway ,that leads to mysterious world
that Neith is said to have spun .

Now you, did I hear you whisper "  Life has just begun "
The hue on your face is brighter than one could have thought.
Like an Eros, like Morpheus hold me in thy arms 
I need No Helios , No Aether , No Oceanus
But just one breath in love

mysterious mystery

I like your dusky hues
I can see the sheen in your blue eyes
The depth in deep blue
is enough to drown me in love
I have this instinct !

Now, c'mon hold my hand
Love me as much as you can
Life may not give us another chance
Here play with my each and every string !

Love is a mystery
You know my wait was too long
to drown in the mist ,it was a dream
It gave me a reason to live !

Listen carefully to
each and every chord of romance  
hear them chant,before they evanesce ,
"The mild aroma of your sudoric frame
was meant for me and only me !"

Here I wait for you to caress me while 
I smoulder and become crimson red
Smell my essence , the mysterious musk
The musk , I know you wont be able to resist !

my home town

 The fear of losing my wavering hair
my sensuality , my aura
my overwhelming sound
the twinkling eyes , that mischievous smile
 few fractions ,went flying
tossed away from life
cold , frozen on pyre
my body made no sound

Strewn in million pieces
an atom , smaller than splinter
shredded within the ground
left among slumgullion
in a play ground
away from a place
called my home town ;

My passion and my dreams
my accomplishments , what I achieved
my pains , my longings
smothered ,when I lay
with no tears , no feelings
when the rose on my cheeks was all gone ;

Though I don't wish to be there
but if ever you think to reincarnate
and ask me to go back to the world
 the world where I never belonged
I vow , will never fray ,nor crave
will be subtle in my ways
a secret I learnt  in your world
where I have no frowns
but I pray allow me to remember
the secret ways , that I might forget
while u raise another life in a new place
that I shall call my dwelling ground
my home town .

"devourer of worlds"

Don't follow me like a furious gale
Though I need you "O my fate "
At times you are turbulent
At times wild
Let me make my way through the jigsaw
That you drew ,while I lay in cosy womb
Before I became another life
for you to play with
 Your past time
Now don't you dare say "Its your destiny,
i have no role to play "


All life you gave me no respite;
I gazed at the sky , day and night
Trying to hear the sound of
" Devourer of Worlds "
It came my way
Left me gape,
 When it gave me a scroll
That says "U can write your own destiny
in case your fate doesn't come in your way "


Under the moon light
I see some delight 
Smiling at  me
But my fear
of you following me
Leaves me abashed
Every time in the moonlight
When I look at the sky
I know you are 
hiding somewhere there.

Barish and a book

lonely

Alone  in a canyon , a ravine
Swept by a mysterious wind
am drowned ,
My tear drops
dont stop from rolling down .


You said " now you know me ,
you wont let go me ,
you will hold me ,
before I drown "


But slowly you disappeared like a whiff
of an over whelmed wind ,
Like musk of spring , that was there for
a season, now gone.


Now you only can elucidate ,
unfold ,unravel the riddle ,
how do I deal with the feeling
of being discarded like vendible ,
my loss of esthesia ,
my vision ,
my heart ,
the pain of drowning in dark .
When my screaming heart echos
you are gone .

The big bang story

guys i am back with a big bang ....was too busy with the launch of my debut book "Rousing Cadence "here in N.Delhi .Here we go....
                   .

enigma

One more attempt inspired by Daag Dehlvi
(1835-1905) This piece describes the beauty
of a man and a woman relationship.




 Fill me up
Relieve me ,
Am sultry without heat
Sweltering in flames
My hues have become flamboyant
The colours are rare
The reflection
of lust is no more concealed
I seethe , in pain
I need no marijuana
No draft no squirt
Your green eyes
Your famous smile
Are reason enough
to engulf me in sweet pain
Watch my lethargic strides
Look deep into my eyes
Watch the greed on my face
Feel the desire
Am aroused am in pain
 My guise my veil
Are on fire
The sensation I cant bear
I read your eyes
I know , you feel the same
Now don't you hesitate
Drop my masquerade
Fill me up with bliss
Lets sway in enigma
Don't think don't vacillate 
Feel my breath 
Before its too late

breathless wave

My springs my trots
Have become still
My will , my determination
Now hesitant ,stagger ,
Shake like comber
Vacillate like a breathless wave
Trying to reach the brink
My knees now in spasm
Cant race with blazing sun
Now my heart  says
"Don't wait , let the torrid flames
Take control of your constitution
Your soul needs to be freed
For the reason ,
It can no more bear the perturbation ,
Face the ultimate
Render your frame
It has become stale
No point , straggle
For no reason
Now you must wane
Disappear ,
Neither you nor I
Belong here
We appertain
We all came from mist
Now disentangle yourself
 From this maze
The vicious circle
The labyrinth "

a sacramental valley

Away from horizon 
Away from sun
A ray came my way
Looked at my heart
Looked at the tell tale marks
It steered me away 
From  clandestine ways
Betrayal ,deception
And
Enlightened my heart
With its admonition ,appraisal
I stand one step away from 
Eminence ,watch a new sun rise
Look at the new moon
That secretly smiles
When it looks at the gleam on my face
In my eyes ,when i smile
No more  am afraid
Of formidable , his  ways
His eyes , those seemed 
Horrendous , intimidating  till that day
In the nights
When I was awake , and would gaze
At the sky , look for one twinkle
That could brighten up my life
Fill me up with smiles
Now away from horizon , away from sun
Near the fresh water creek ,
In a sacramental valley
I pay my tribute to the ray
That enlightened my heart .

Aura

Your eyes , your smile,your laughter
Is like blossom ,like spring
 Rose like your phiz, your face
Gave me a reason
A reason to live ,
I need no tantalising bouillon
No pottage, no puree
Just hold me tight,
Am spellbound , bemused
Am fascinated by your aroma
Have become lush without swig
By your aura, your semblance
By your petal like lips
Your intoxicating essence,
Your fragrance
Your redolence is behind my laughter
Let me live in blissful terrene,
Under the sun
Who smiles at me
While I write my songs
On your eyes ,your smile,your laughter
Am enchanted by blossom , by spring
You are the only reason
For I live

Once Again

 

Nailed up in my casket,
Blown with another gale,
Am scared , want no tears ,
Not again...
Am in love , you know
Am not a game , I only
want some nectar that smells
of you once again....
When you came , you said
You are going to heal my heart ,
You will come back again .....
On a tree top,
With broken heart in deep  pain,
I wait for you to grace my life ,
Pick up the threads, rebuild my nest ,
 Embellish it with your breath
Once again......

Stardust

An ultra modern woman like me ,who has always been ahead of her generation but some how have very orthodox views when it comes to love .Today while I was reading a blog about some porn magazine I wondered how can one get a kick out of it . If a man and a woman are truly in love they need no stimulator , every action ,every expression becomes a stimulator in itself for the other partner. Emotions have always been dominant in my life , being in love was a dream for me .I became a vagabond in search of true love, love that knows no bounds and has deep meaning ,  union of souls , a feeling that only few fortunate people  experience which is quite rare . Like Paula Coelho says "if you truly want something the entire universe aligns itself to give it to you " though a little late in life but I found true love and here I express my feelings for some one who I am truly in love with .I may sound foolish but that's the way I am .Before it gets too late here we go...

Did I hear you say 
"who you are ,I  cant recall "


Go back to last night,
When you came across 
Dust of stars,
You said " Its A Beautiful Ruin "


 Ruined in churn of life ,
I was among the stars ,
 The luster may have gone,
But the soul never died , 
 Here I am ,
With handful fragments of my heart,
My naked body

The marks are souvenir of my past ,
Camouflage , hide me in your arms,
Give me some respite,
Am on run,
Broke free from The Sword of Life ,
Couldn't resist being yours ,
You are my life ,
Am dust , look beneath your feet
There I lie,
For me ,your subtle smile is source of life ,
Drown me in your eyes ,
Let me live in your heart ,
Am dust with a golden heart ,
Am sure now you can recall ,
Am the one last night you came across .

El Dorado

Few lines on loneliness

On a gloomy road all alone ,
 In a shroud of hope ,
 Along with my shadow ,
 Who lay prostrate on the road,
I told her to come along,
Don't give up, don't leave me alone ,
I can see some golden dust ,
 I am sure
We are close to an Oasis "


She refused to hear one word , I told ,
She lay back like a rock beside the road,
She muttered   " You are blind ,
You can see no more beyond
The ring of desires ,
Now leave me alone ,
Move on ,on your own ,
I wonder ,
What makes you so sure ,
You will reach El Dorado ,
And find a Holy grail
The day you find an Anon
On this anonymous road
That leads to unknown world
I will follow if I am alive
If I am there !

Jedika is that your real name ?

Theres nothing in a name,
But I could see your colour through your name ,
You are fluorescent ,
I feel you have deep sense of melody ,
As your words sounded like a refrain ,
Cant see you but my vision says ,
You have a smile on your face ,
Don't be surprised ,

Am glad you came ,
And wish that you come back again ,
The only desire I have ,
How can I be your strength ?
Would appreciate ,
If you could narrate.

The Burning Streets

Cluster of dreams
Ringlet of desires
My castles in the air
Have become imprudent
Lost the reasoning power
Have become inane
Feel no pain
Am dazed by the sparkle
The panorama , the spectrum
Is all I look for ,try to capture


My winglets on fire
The flames have gone higher
I feel no heat nor I see
The source of heat
I cruise with my desires
My swollen and burnt feet
Don't feel the pain nor the heat


The vicious circle
One after the other
Painful flyers
Convey "neither
I should wait , nor I deserve
The skill to experience the patrichor
Nor pitter-patter , its not meant for me "


Now how do I convince , my heart
That I lost while I cruised
The burning streets
When I saw a spectacular dream .

Solitude

Stay away ,if you care
 I told you
 Not again
 Like unreasonable ,inexorable wave
 Don't follow me everywhere

Now once again
 I can feel you
 You are back again
 Now stay
 You are the one and only one
 Who's been there
 My confederate
 My accomplice ,my friend
 In times
 In my desolation
 Has seen my hiding place
 You are not unaware of my solitude
 And my aches
 I see none
 But you are the one
 Who I know for no selfish reason
 Are there
 Can stay forever
 Need no elucidation
 Without reason you are here
 Once again ,"O My pain"

midnight blue

On that night , when the stars were indigo
And the sky was turquoise
When the orb of night,
Heard every word you phrased,
While the life compassed and gauged,
Each and every expression on your face,
When the orbit of heavenly celestial,
Came to halt to say,
"Its your time ,go ahead move on, don't wail ,
He is right , he waits for your strides
in his life , have faith in his eyes, he wont change"

Though you said ,"I should smile ,
I shouldn't care, about the other world"
I was Amazed ,
My mind still at pace,
Curiosity still prevails,
About the indigo light ,
About the turquoise sky ,
Cant stop my mind from whisper ,
Chit chat with my soul ,
"What makes you say,
That your plight has disappeared over night ,
You are set free,
You can sail,
How can you say you heard them right ,
And Its not a hear say","

Now its for you and you
To make me believe
You are still there,
Say it over and over again,
I am your life , you yearn for me,
Like the way you did ,on that indigo night,
When the moon appeared in a different mood,
It changed its colour to midnight blue,
When the life smiled ,
And whispered to Moon ,
 "Let her sail" !

rosemary

To make this piece of poetry easy to comprehend here is some info about Rosemary , its known for various varities and  by various names some of them are Majorica Pink ,Golden Dust , Golden Rain , Irene and also known as dew from the sea. Rosemary is also a source of camphor.

 Boire ( drink french ) I must

 Your eyes are pints of grapes


 Luscious , cant resist
Let me taste your lips
The agua de rosa ( rose water portuguese )
Dewy , they taste like dew ,must say


Twine
Am rosemary
Am vine
Am dew from deep sea


Light
Some fire
Luminate me
Got some camphor on me
Now,look at me
While I  bleed in love
Am majorica pink


Dont wipe
Dont clean
Am golden dust
Am all over
Around your feet


Embrace
Am golden rain
Hide me in a secret place


Elevate me
Take me to ethreal ,
Where everything is real


Kneel
Now feel while I freeze
When you make love to your Irene

Aphrodite

On a day,when life like a benevolent wave ,

No mood to inflict pain ,

Smiled like sun shine , her eyes too gave away

And it rained ,

Though I was amazed but looked away ,

Drenched in rain  I moved away ,

I heard some one call out my name ,

I slowed down my pace ,

Turned back to look who is there ,

She stood at the gate , Looked like Aphrodite ,

She made her way through ,while I gazed ,

I heard her say , "I came to grace the ocassion , a divine day ,

To see you in euphoria ,that was the aim ,so I came ,

Now wipe out your tears , is the only reason I am here ,

Dont look away ,dont turn your face ,

Its time for you to celebrate ,your love my dear ,

Now change your apparel ,I got some smiles to drape ,

Slick down your hair ,they look ransacked for years ,

But dont paint your lips , he is on the way ,

He will decorate , he will smear

Your lips he said "he only will burnish my dear "
