O Monsoon Clouds...

-

 Fill my azure sky with your darkness,

O Monsoon clouds...

And paint it with your beautiful hues of grey.

For this parched Earth of mine

Is longing for your love.

Let your petrichor fill my lifeless soul

With a new Life of its own.

Let your winds wreck havoc

On this wrecked heart of mine,

And fill it with all the serenity it has always craved for.

Take away the bits of mine, O Monsoon clouds,

With you.....far away into your land.

The bits of me, that hold me back

That shackles my feet

That chop away my wings.

Teach me to laugh, like your thunder,

For the sunshine smiles have left me long back.

Teach me, O Monsoon clouds, to dazzle like your lightening

For the stars and the moon have forsaken my night sky.

Fill my dark world with your darkness

And let me rest for a while, in your somber shadows,

Breathing in your moist zephyr

Like my favourite shot of drug.

For, this traveller is weary of chasing the horizons

Amidst the never ending deserts.

Shower your drops of love on me,

O Monsoon clouds......

And wash away my wounds along with,

Like they had never bled.

Wash away my tears,

Like they had never been shed.

Wash away those distant memories

That still haunt some unfathomed depths of my mind,

Like they never existed.

Wash away my pains and cleanse them with your touch

Till they no longer hurt.

Take away everything I own, O Monsoon clouds,

Wash away everything, what never even existed.

And then, someday, as your time comes to seek my leave,

And I bid you adieu with all gratefulness,

Watch me being reborn

Beneath my rainbow,

As you move away from my Autumn sky...

Within My Heart You Live...

  Within my heart you live, Even though you stay so far away  Amidst the clouds. Amidst the stars. In the peace of the Heaven, In the presence of the Almighty you had so dearly prayed to all through your little time here. Far away from my mortal eyes, You visit me everyday in my dreams. Waking me up to another new day, Like you always did. Your ideals being my guiding light, Your blessings being my armour, You make your presence felt every moment Even in the void you have created here With your absence. The void...that would never again be filled. The void...that would always bring up so many 'what if's. The void...that would make me miss you a bit more with every passing second, Even though you are right next to me.  "Why did you leave??",  I wish I could ask like a naive child, who is so unaware of the ultimate truth of Life. I wish I could make you stay a bit more longer, if not, forever. And then I see you Smiling, within me. Running your hand over my head. Comfor

Dear November...

  Dear November, As I stand against the wind, I feel the familiar Déjà vu cruising along, in my veins yet again. The feeling of heaviness….of some incoherent pain….some unknown fear settles around in the air, and I can’t fathom what I am going through. The sky seems empty nowadays, now that the white autumn clouds have left….there is something lonely…some hollowness, amidst all the serenity in the azure that spreads miles above the horizon. Why do you bring this austerity, November??? What is this detachment all about??? Why are you so indifferent to the worldly ties??? Or, is it just because you bring along the season of ‘falls’ with you….and this is what fall is all about??? The pain of losing a beloved…..the realization of how life turns ochre from green…..the seemingly endless wait for the spring to come again…for the flowers to bloom…the sun to smile…the clouds to return….I don’t know, November. You tell me, what is the ‘fall’ all about?? Why does it always bring about this un

Within the Grave.....

-
 The grave lulled me to sleep in Her lap. Settling over me with an unknown pain, The wilted flowers and the sombre wind seemed heavy... With the weight of the reminder that I was stranded, That I would be forever left here, all alone Far away from the world that I have always held close. Here, in the darkness... Where I could no longer feel the zephyr over my skin, Where I could no longer look up at the stars, Where nothing, but darkness, and more darkness engulfs me I would stay..... Till the last of my bones turn into dust. Till I become a part of the Earth, that had created me. And yet......I feel at peace....... This claustrophobia seems sweeter like never before This darkness seems brighter than the days that I had lived. This cold damp place seems warmer than most homes I have been to. Is this how death feels like??? Light.........painless........detached....... Like the wind that floats over my grave... Like the clouds beyond the horizon...??? Is this how a grave feels like????
