Hero worship
How would I put into words what I remember about you after all these years?
When I want to write about you, I see the chinks that I have found in your armour.
Yet the you of my imagination and the real you have grown so apart that
I guess I would never recognise you if I saw you somewhere in real.
But this heart has loved you in ways that the one who owns you can never even imagine!
But this heart has loved you in ways that the one who owns you can never even imagine!

An evening
In the midst of this summer tedium,we meet again,
In the same old park where we used to sit around,
Reading books and chatting for hours altogether,
While the ancient tabeubia trees bore us witness.
Once again, the carpet of pink blossoms is made,
For you and me to sit and doodle with lifelessons-
The serious thoughts about the angst of this life ,
The trivial thoughts about the colours in the world.
You are a strong shoulder that I had let go earlier,
Your few words fill me with so much of happiness,
I am the mighty wordsmith in whom you believe,
The one who can conjure up new worlds in verse.
You and I talk of the serious and trivial meet again,
In our old hang-out under the same ancient trees.

Eternal Silence
A couple walked past us,
Huddled together.
You and I, we walked
Hurriedly, drenched
In the rain and silent.
Your shy eyes lingered
Now and then on me,
Happy like a child.
With throbbing heart
With hungry eyes
I stowed away your magic.
You never said a word
I never said a word,
Only silence and the rain spoke.
When we spoke at last
It was with indifference
To the magic between us.
So we threw away the words
And the magic between us
What is left now is only silence.
Summer Rains
There is no summer tedium that doesn’t burst
into rain,
When a good old love like ours is remembered in
time,
When your wet hair and shiny eyes can bring a downpour.
In that summer of uncertainties a billion
decades back,
When it scorched and blazed into unquenchable
fires,
We might have stood at the same crossroads
unawares,
We might have been the chemistry that burnt a
world.
Still, I remember how the songs burst into
summer rains,
Still, I remember how you will never say what
you want,
Probe me just to find out what I am thinking
right now,
Yet not recognize may be it was about you that
I thought.
The words remain concealed in our sacred spaces
forever,
The few random lines of poetry that fails to give
recompense.

Good Fortune
There was no good luck on my cards today
For you were not there to cheer up my day,
For the days have made you so special
That I don't have words to tell you how.
Not that I am what you want me to be
Not that I do what you really want me to
For I evade your eyes and your smile
Flitting across like a mirage with you.
Yet without your smile no day is perfect,
Your sunshine that radiates joy for me,
My eyes roam around your empty space
As if you are seated where you do normally.
The memory of your smile flashes to me
And a stupid grin spreads across my face.
For you were not there to cheer up my day,
For the days have made you so special
That I don't have words to tell you how.
Not that I am what you want me to be
Not that I do what you really want me to
For I evade your eyes and your smile
Flitting across like a mirage with you.
Yet without your smile no day is perfect,
Your sunshine that radiates joy for me,
My eyes roam around your empty space
As if you are seated where you do normally.
The memory of your smile flashes to me
And a stupid grin spreads across my face.
