Throbbing temples,
Untamed thoughts racing inside my mind,
Trying to break the fences,
Like wild horses kicking up a storm...
An unruly force that won't let my eyes close
Tearless and thoughtful, unblinking eyes
I lie awake...
And wonder...
Wonder about the vague promises you sketched
That my fertile mind converted to colourful masterpieces
Tripping over your artful words
My heart travelled...
Sonnets of Strife
I would've loved to name this one "Love And Other Disasters" :P
Delicate shoulders shaking,
Eyelids quivering,
A heart-quake is what struck her,
Crumbling the walls of laughter...
A volcanic eruption,
Out of control emotion,
Reason is hard to find,
As ashes of anguish cloud her mind
A tsunami of tears,
A flood of fears,
A drought, feelings devoid,
Disasters even destiny couldn't avoid...
She...
Castles in the Air
She rested her head on her silky, cool pillow,
In her lavender room, now bathed in an orange glow..
She invited sleep as she laid and curled,
Coz her dreams were more real than her real world..
She wore ribbons in her hair,
And her heart on her sleeve..
And she climbed up a beanstalk-stair,
To reach the castles she built in the air..
Built far away from everyday cries,
Encased in the calm of...
Garden of hope
Unruly hair
Unblemished skin
Untouched by the world
Bathed in innocence
The morning dew is her companion,
The flowers are her confidants...
She uses the sky as her canvass
To carve shapes with a sprig of grass...
Brilliant eyes
Beautiful lips
Blossoming youth
Learning, feeling, sensing.
The rising...
Thirst...
Her throat is parched and her lips are dry
even the sweetest nectar and holiest water can't defy
This unquenching thirst
Born from a lack of words
Lodged in the unreachable depths of a withered heart
They refuse to escape from lips waiting to part
She tries to speak-
Find Some expression, even if it's meek
Of unrequited love
Of unappreciated effort
Of unfaithful friends and loyal foes
Of emotion...
The Hearltess Angel
He arrived
Like the first ray of a spring morning’s sun
Quiet yet ambitious
Hoping to light the world
He did hers – with his brilliant thoughts
He – the unaware genius
He made his way into her life
Like the fresh drops of a monsoon shower
Seasonal yet persistent
Quenching the thirst of a parched earth
He revived her life – with his constant company
He – the unwilling saviour
...
A Lifetime...
She stares without seeing,
Looking back at me with unblinking eyes,
That tell secrets wordlessly speaking,
Of trapped ambition or severed ties
Forlorn she stands - unsmiling and speechless
Her lips so arid as laughter has withered away
For a fleeting moment her eyes lose their emptiness
Filled with a fond memory of a forgotten friend or a sunny day
Lonely she stands singular...
