That holds a blooming sun even at night,

That can keep all dead insides alive

 Sprinkling its pure light…

Sky heart

This eternity draws me much,

When emotion appears in heart,

In extreme pain or joyfulness,

My eyesight seeks shelter in sky always…

 

If such a sky would be in ground,

Then eyes could shed burdens

In their dark lonely nights.

 

Then joys could make rainbow diving inside…

 

Emotions roam for infinity,

They seek for a endless inside,

Where all exhausted hearts can sleep

Telling their untold words and feelings….

 

All souls need a sky of their own

That holds a blooming sun even at night,

That can keep all dead insides alive

 Sprinkling its pure light…

World without you

I closed my eyes once,

Tried to see the world without you.

I saw a desert, where no trees, no birds

And no river or lake were seen.

 

My throat felt like dry wood,

I felt so thirsty that I could drink a sea,

And then a sandy wind came,

That was covering me, I was drowning.

 

I opened my eyes

With an abnormal heartbeat and ache,

That made my eyes to shed tears.

I wiped and took a deep breath.

 

Again I closed my eyes,

To see the world without you.

That time I saw lot of people; a rush

Rampaged in a vast open field.

 

And in the middle of those people

I was standing; was searching something,

My soul craved for someone but couldn’t find.

I felt lonely among those lot of people,

Felt I have nobody in this whole world.

Shadow

Can you see my nights?

How my lonely dawns pass,

How my heart fumbles for you,

Midnight stars, consoling my soul

 

Can you see them?

 My eyes search you everywhere,

Every time I try to write,

My fingers write your name,

Can you say what’s the meaning

Of all these insane!

 

I can forget but the things you are in?

How can I force them to erase you?

From my ear, from my breath,

How can I erase you from my soul!

 

Wherever you are,

I know I am with you anyhow,

In any way my sigh is bothering you

Like an invisible shadow…

***

How close we are

How close we are

You are around,

Then again you are nowhere,

You are so close,

Again you are so far…

 

When I am alone,

I feel you are right inside me,

You are merged in my existence,

Loneliness grasp me that time,

When people are around…

 

When they start saying

That you are not here beside me,

My heart dries like desert you know?

I search you roaming around,

But nowhere are you!

 

Where do you loss in crowd?

Can’t you once come in front of them?

Holding my hands tell them loudly

That you are forever with me..!

 

I can see you but they don’t!

They don’t realize and they don’t want to,

Nobody can feel,

Right how close we are.
