A golden cage

A slender figure, decades old.
Sitting with her cage, made of gold.
Long dead eyes look out to see the sky.
But her sight is too blurred, for her to see by.
She waits for him with the letters cutched in her hand.
Waiting for the winged bird to come with like magical wand.
Her white cold hand touches the paper.
Ages old and decayed, like forget-me-nots they smoulder.
Turning into dust, valued at nitch.
She smiles as she wonders if her looks still bewitch.
Dreams in her dreams wearing the white wedding gown.
She tries to remember love as just a noun.
Spiders weaving cobwebby tale make home in her bosom.
A sad destiny indeed for a maid so lissom
Stares at the images on the wall, vision flickers.
Tomorrow she'll be gone with no trace; faith never wavers.
Waiting for him, she must,as she always had.
Letting not a tear fall, as promised to her lad.
The room is his, so are the letters.
But she lives there in her mind, bound by imaginary fetters.
For there is her mind- passion glows.
For there is that room emotions overflow.

Silver Moondrop

A silver moondrop shines on my nose.
I reach out to feel it before it goes.
A thing of beauty,of silver joy forever.
Enchants me to hide it,to show never.
I place it gently on a finger and run.
To show him the moondrop,share the fun.
Place the drop on his forehead, it trickles down.
Runs along his brows,smoothens his frown.
Disappears into his lashes,i cry:i was the keeper!
Slowly he stirs awake,opens his peeper.
Lo and behold!!My moondrops not one but two.
And in the eyes which I forever knew.
Its my own moondrop,it shall stay forever with me.
And I'll treasure it's wonder, enchantment and ethereal beauty.

A mysterious Tryst

Open eyed a story unfolded around
I saw a man with struggling ropes bound
On a chair with a bomb ticking
Around him were creatures dancing
Like snakes their bodies were slithering
It was dark and smoky
A shivering up the body
And then came a maiden clad in white
Her face unclear as the smoke filled his sight
She came and touched his shoulders letting him free
As the ropes came off she let out a gurgle carefree
Touching his face with her white cold hand
She let her eyelashes touch his wedding band
A single teardrop touched his cheek


And then she was gone into the mist
As the sun came to end this mysterious tryst.

Goodbye

Goodbye my love, goodbye to you.
Don’t be sad, I’m going to wait for you.
Don’t let me see you cry, I need you more than ever.
I know its goodbye though I’m not clever.
I love you, I’ll love you forever.
Think of me when you’re far away.
Think of me at least once a day.
I’ll be thinking of you alright.
As the day becomes night,
And dark turns to rosy light.
Waiting in the departure lounge ain't easy.
I can’t really see you going away baby.
I want to scream, tell you to stop.
But my silence speaks in a single tear drop.
You have to fly for hours non-stop.
A last hug, and the questions bleed like a wound.
Tell me I’m not going to lose my love new found.
I hope that we are perfect, we’re meant to be.
That I’ll hug you once again with utmost glee.
That I’ll meet you once before eternity.
But for now its a goodbye, for a last kiss am screaming.
But as your flight’s announced, I know its time, you are leaving.
A thousand miles and more is not a breath away.
As the flight takes off, I wish the nagging pain would go away.
I cant bear to watch anymore, I turn my head away.
And I hear my tears softly scream-
Goodbye and take good care.
Know that I love you my dear.

Just for a moment

Love lasts just for a moment.

You’ll be here for just a moment.

I know it fully well, and have taken a decision.

I’ll be there waiting for you with the keys in the ignition.

And then maybe we can go for a ride just for a moment.

It’s better to have fun rather than sit and lament.

If it’s going to be just a moment, I’m going to enjoy every bit.

Even though tears sting at my heart like within a thousand fires lit.

Just stay back for an evening out, or a night or two.

Just give me a chance- your heart to woo.

I had everything planned, roses and candlelight.

The flames dancing in the rhythm of my sight.

And then I go and spoil it all; cracking a stupid joke.

And asking still smiling broadly: “When’ll you be back?”

And then the magic of the moment is broken as the smiles disappear.

You go serious, my a tad –bit- too- broad smile is replaced by fear.

I may not be anybody of consequence.

But you are of utmost importance.

I may leave your life without a trace.

And no one around you will even know my face.

But when I’m gone remember I’m always remembering you.

That I never ever once wanted to say adieu.

I know neither do you do, but I understand people change.

With time and distance hearts estrange.

But baby, I’m writing this to let you know.

I’m going to be stupid till the day I go.

Love for me doesn’t last for a moment.

But I’m willing to take chances and give my emotions vent.

Hold your hand and hope that this moment’s an eternity.

Till once again when ancient will become modernity.

It's Personal...Messed Up

Time never ends as it never stops.
Life goes on, it just numbs it all.
There is no end to the start.
Its all a confusing mixture of colors.
Instead of the rainbow, its mixture in oil
That lies on the roadside, dripping wet.
Lying on the bed, clenched fists,
Thinking some thoughts, which doesn't exists.
Listening to the sound of silence.
Waiting for some music, some noise.
Living life without a meaning.
People walk on; hair flows down,
Light shines harshly forming diamonds on the brown.
Its Personal; no ones bothered.
But then we are too caught up in our lives.
To look beyond our tiny little lives.
Problems are huge, life is generally Sad.
But if you wanna know, if it helps.
You ain't alone, there's millions like me and you.
Leading silly short lives with nothing different.
Whose insignificant Lives are all Messed Up.
Yeah!More messed up than the colors on the road.
