Promises For Me Were Easy To Make

Promises for me
Were easy to make
Giving false hopes
To people
Not fulfilling them
Was my favorite way
Promise of yes
Always turned into no
Till my relations
Turned sour
With people around
I lost their trust
My reputation tarnished
Even an honest truth
Was not believed
I was left in lurch
Frustrated and depressed
The damage was done
Could not be repaired again

As night sets in

As night sets in
A strange fear grips me
Loneliness keeps me awake
Throughout the night
Her memories haunt me
Keep coming to my mind
Every moment spent with her
Runs like a film
Eyes become wet
The heart cries
She departed
Leaving me alone
To fight with lonely nights
I know she is in heaven
Showering
Her blessings on me
To keep me alive
And fight
The battle of life

My Eyes Remained Wide Open

I wondered
What made
The dark black night
Shine
With so much light
I heard a sound
Moved my eyes
All around
To find her standing
Her body
Draped in a black veil
Her moon like face
Emitting dazzling light
That made the dark night
Bright
Her mesmerizing beauty
Left me gaping
My eyes
Remained wide open
Could not believe

Hope Did Not Die

It was a sad day
Lights dim
Moon without shine
Face dull
In deep gloom
As if dying
Darkness all around
Sorrow
In the turbulent mind
Thoughts
Came like waves
Why she has not come
Is everything fine?
When she will come
Was the question in mind?
But she did not come
The agony did not end
Life became worthless
But in some corner
Of the heart and mind

Life Loses, Death Wins

He is no more
No voice, no whisper
Eyes still
He has gone for forever
No discontentment
No worries
Every thing has crumbled
And frozen
The body
Has to disintegrate
Ocean of memories
Shall remain
Photographs
In photo frames
And albums
Reminding of his
Existence and fragrance
For few loving
He has walked away
Silently

Life Is A Wheel

Life
Is a wheel
The heart, brain,
Lung lever, kidney
The spokes
The blood works
The same way as
The air in the tube
Of the body like tire
A small leak
Can make the tire flat
One broken spoke
Can halt the wheel
The living
Becomes dead
The present
Turns into past
Let the
Wheel of life move
Exercise a bit

Let them share, all what I see with my eyes

Twinkling eyes,
She was
Staring the skies
Praying
To the almighty
Oh lord, give sight
To the ones without it
Let them also see
The nature’s beauty
The flowing water
Beautiful birds
Green trees
Blooming flowers
Mountains
And the blue sky
The living beings
You created
Nears and dears
Whose
Voice they hear

Memory Brings Back My Old Friends To Me

Memory
Brings back
My old friends
To me
I can hear them
Talking to me
Their laughter
Enthralls me
Their advice
Encourages me
I feel they are sitting
Very close to me
I feel happy
My mind full of
Peace
I completely forget
They had died
Long ago
Thinking about them
Makes me nostalgic

Playing With Emotions

Throughout
The day
Her face kept coming
To my mind
I waited for her
One more day passed
She did not come
Thirst of meeting her
Remained unfulfilled
May be she tried
But couldn’t make it
I kept on
Satisfying myself
Could not believe the truth
When revealed to me
She was seen with
Somebody else
Making false
Promises to me
Playing with emotions

The curse of beauty

Her beauty
Became
A curse for her
She incited
Much envy from the
Other girls
Where ever
She went
Roving eyes
Followed her
Lewd gestures
Made her angry
Vulgar comments
Felt like
Molten lead in the ears
At times,
She felt like
A helpless prisoner
Quite often,
She cursed
