We’re an ever flowing waterfall that keeps falling with the ferocity of Niagara. Perhaps, I shouldn’t be comparing us to Niagara at all. Cause, we are nothing but infinite, incomparable and undefeatable.

Retreating waves
The waves: they retreat
they hinder the flow;
Of the waves that are-
approaching the shore
Reflecting the cycle of life.
The more you retreat back
into the past,
the present is lost
into the sands of time.
Don’t let your past
hold you back!
Stay in the present
Live in the moment,
Let the past flow away.

Rowing away solitary
I’m floating in stagnant waters
You are no where to be seen.
We started our journey
Together on a boat
We drowned in bliss of melodies
We enjoyed together
We rowed away;
Happy as people for life
But here I’m-
Floating in the stagnant water
Where your trace is long gone!
You’re aboard another boat
With someone who you adore.
It’s sad you don’t realize what we were
It’s sad that I do
I guess letting go is all I have
With all the strength I have
I’m letting you go.
Good bye dear friend
I’ll just remember the good times we shared
In the past, that made us smile
From eye to eye.
I shall continue to row solitary,
as the ripples fill in
life- into the stagnant water
Of life, that had dulled-
the light in me.

Detachment
On a divine day,
An emotion made it’s way
into our hearts
Sneaking into our lives-
slowly & steadily;
cajoling with our senses
that are bedazzled
by the bewitching spell of love.
Alluring our hearts to tango
to the beats of amor.
Singing aloud the merry notes
of lost wisdom and blinded trust’
succumbing to the nearly perfect
fairy-tale ending!
Our love wasn’t ours’ alone
to cease or resume.
You wavered away,
I stood still, while the amor
lingered, suffusing our soul
with pain and distraught
writhing away in pain-
yearning for detachment.

STARRY SKIES
Laying on a bed of sand,
Ever-changing patterns
Of the crystals that guard-
My body, my soul.
Every time I move,
I yearn to leave an impression
On the world that I call my own.
My shadow has departed
Enabling me to revere
Every single memory
Uncloaked and bare.
I still lay amidst the grains of gold
Cautiously eyeing the
Glistening moon;
My lamenting heart
Attempting to contemplate the-
Synchronicity of my imprudence
And tribulation.
The gurgle and lashing
Of the waves
Echoing in my ears,
Leaving no stone un-turned
To mask the thudding of my
Reckless memories that are rushing
In my mind that remains clogged
And misted and numb.
The wind blowing kisses
To my soul that lay bare
Exposed and vulnerable-
To the audacity of fellow humans
Dancing in my memories
To a tune of their own.
The sky is studded
With resplendent stars
Simulating the flicker of hope
That illuminates my soul
Every now and then.
And here I am
On a bed of sand
Fancying for this
Comforting night
To never end.

Among the wildflowers
Between the lines
Under the starry skies
Among the wildflowers
Along the waves
In the arms of nature
Kissed by the rising sun
Embraced by the breeze
I lay beside you
My head on your chest
Our souls converge
On the land of serendipity
Holding our souls
Is the promise of eternity.

Lotus
The petals that bloom
Dissipates light in gloom
Rises above the murk
Altercates darkness that lurks
The symbol of purity
The petals of serenity
Divine flower that unfurls
Suffusing universe with love as it swirls.

I’ll Survive
Feelings that reverberate
Within like air locked in
the chest- choking;
I graze the surface
of the sea that
you drowned me in,
to taste the reality.
Coughing up phlegm
Of sorrow!
Breathing in strength
To survive.
The spaces in between
my fingers lay vacant,
I miss you.
But, like any warrior
I’ll thrive,
I’ll survive.

Missing my best friends.
