how could I..???

                                                   
                                               It was a road to NOWHERE
                                               still
                                               we began...
                                               and went on
                                               holding hands of one another
                                               with some false hopes
                                               deep in the heart
                                               until a turn is reached
                                               with some new promising vibes
                                               YOU moved on...
                                               but HOW COULD I..???

                                               I looked into your eyes
                                               imploringly,
                                               they rebuffed me
                                               silently,
                                               I was left alone then
                                               YOU called it off
                                               but HOW COULD I..???

                                               How live moments those were
                                               when we were together
                                               you always used to give me a reason
                                               to live,
                                               and I used to crave for the same,
                                               I vividly  remember all that
                                               perhaps YOU forgot
                                               but HOW COULD I..???

                                               All the premonitions started
                                               turning into celebrations,
                                               I myself never thought of repercussions,
                                               I vouched for you
                                               somewhere YOU proved me wrong,
                                               but HOW COULD I..???

                                                A wave of solitude
                                               swept over me,
                                               I just stood still
                                               kept on waiting for a glimpse;
                                               by the passage of time
                                               I was startled to find you
                                               beside me,
                                               you said not to be bothered about that..
                                               YOU did,
                                               but HOW COULD I..???

whenever...!!!

                                                          whenever I climb,
                                                          I  slip down
                                                          but the thing keeps inspiring me
                                                          to  carry on
                                                          is your LOVE
                                                          which is all around;
                                          
                                                      *          *            *                *
            
                                                          whenever I am in need
                                                          I feel so lonely
                                                          but the thing makes me fulfilled
                                                          is your tender care
                                                          so closely;
                                                      *          *            *                *

                                                          whenever I feel blue
                                                          I get helpless for a while
                                                          but the thing makes me blissful
                                                          is your touch
                                                          with your smile;
                                    
                                                       *         *            *            *

                                                         whenever I feel lagging
                                                         I feel low always
                                                         but the thing makes me leading                
                                                         is your saying
                                                         like a sage;

                                                       *          *            *                *
                                            
                                                         whenever I walk alone
                                                         I feel so incomplete
                                                         inside of me
                                                         but the thing makes me complete
                                                         is your invisible shadow
                                                         stands beside me...

an INSIGHT..!!!

 

                                                           My sleepless eyes
                                                           with a calm night
                                                           A cheerful cause
                                                           with my eternal plight
                                                           A musical dawn
                                                           with my jinxed twilight
                                                           A pondering dark
                                                           with my fainting light
                                                           A dying hope
                                                           with my unknown fright
                                                           Some hurtful memories
                                                           with my endless flight
                                                            A vouch for an illusion
                                                           with my diminishing
                                                           worldly appetite
                                                           A perpetual reluctance
                                                           with my false delight
                                                           Nothing I possess
                                                           but a stoic SOUL to ignite...
