A special Birthday

An old black watch and gingham shirt
warm smiles and sparkling eyes
sweet mischief and charm all the way.

The journey of a thousand miles
taxis, “not trains", you had said
holding hands all along

goofy grins and lazy strides
walking till we found a ride
or a place to sit and munch on thoughts

Meeting new faces. Saying a “hi”
Shying away from crowds and light.
And malls-those noisy places of delight!

Smooching, snuggling, kissing and cuddling,
and yays! Cos you’re taller than me!
And sweet nothings and ice creams

But so much more there was and is
a promise of something more and sweet.
If only you showed up more quick!

So I’ll resign myself to this
and sending little kisses your way
wishing you a lovely birthday !

the last walk down street A

i turn. it follows as it always has. dark memory.buried deep. deep deep deep within the unreachable corners of the undecipherable world. a pretence . and love.in all its colours. tears.sobs.swollen promises. some more. and i know. what it never will. through the neon eeriness of la noche. like a dingy glove. a blast from the past. persistence and resistance and acceptance.and Deliverance will its soul respond? will it cry? will it remember? as i know. i will.

the shadows of freedom

Sunshines and moonlights and a milky stream the shadows of the morrow go blink blink blink... a pen a paper and a million lines. going one-two one-two ...three three three the raindrops on the window's ledge.. the weeping lilies of the night.. a corkscrew, a knife and a bottle of wine. a litre of water and a careless glance. powdered cheek and a painted nail. tin cans and soldiers all forgotten.. long live this freedom.. that love has begotten.

the depth of nothingness

abyss.plain.plateau.peak. Trench. pitch black.bleak.deep. the depth of nothingness. smouldering.melting. crystals of overwhelming red. flashes. and a mirage.. a garden in bloom. change and joy. needles .slivers and shards. glass.broken.hopeless. brown.desolate. a will to escape.and chains. pulling.insisting. with pleading eyes.a mirror and a soul. impatient tugs . the heart of a mortal. in its place a stone. buried long ago. a ruin. emotionless ..unfeeling.. and a lock. the base. a wretched loneliness.
