Don't let me go

Cruising the desert, by your side, hand in hand,

uncertain of the destiny, yet the journey, so lovely;

Walking the dunes, exploring as we go,

undaunted, unconcerned, of the world,

A fear of losing the moment creeps in, and I say,

"Don't let me go, ever".

On the horizon, we see a storm coming, 

Wind blowing into our faces, we walk against the wind,

Summoning the odds, steadfast, we push ourselves;

Inseparable as we go, just like the wind and the sand,

making it feel insecure, of the bond we have; while she says,

"Don't let me go".

Is it love or the will, taking us miles against the odds,

Loving every bit of the stretch, hoping there is no end,

The storm getting stronger, pulling us apart,

We struggle to keep us together, with all our might,

Until the force of nature takes over, breaking us apart, and I pray,

"Don't let her go".

On our knees, we try to reach out, to each other,

The wind and sand blurring our vision, every ounce of me;

Crawling towards her, against the will of God,

Hoping to reach her, I stretch my hand, grazing her fingers,

The last touch, the last sight of her, wishing to go back in time, while I say,

"Don't let me go".

Giving in, I crouch, submitting to the force,

Tears in my eyes, while the wind won't let me cry either;

What was mine, isn't, anymore. Neither my will nor my wish,

Nor you, who I held closest to my heart, never to let you go, 

I had a promise to keep, After all, I am human too,

"Don't let me go".

Every moment I lived with you, saunter in front of my eyes,

I feel you around, yet I miss your presence;

Alone I stand in the storm, unafraid, facing it, hoping to rendezvous;

This hot desert had never felt colder, piercing as ice; 

Finding solace in the dreams we shared, After all, I am human too,

"Don't you let me go".

Beginnings

A starry night sky above, lambent city below
They stood atop, an edifice
Gazing at each other; nothing to forgo
For as long as it takes, at the precipice.

Her eyes, filled with love aglow
Her face, her hair, her lines, worthwhile
Countless words said; eyes of a doe
She could light up the night, with just a smile.

This windy night, sets her tresses astray,
He stops himself from keeping them at bay
Their hearts pounding, like horses pulling a sleigh,
Souls so glee, they could feel it sway.

A thousand stars play cupid around
They get closer and closer,
While the moon showers amour, passion abound,
The night gets younger, never, to get over.

Their hands entwined, feeling the warmth
Watching the moon, lingering by the lake,
Hearts lurching, they sailed forth
A feeling they shared, was wide awake.

The night was staged, for them, to perform
For Gods were watching, keen and agog,
"I think I like you", he reckoned; enticed in her form,
"I like you too", she vouched; their hearts leapt for a jog.

Closer they get, with their eyes half closed,
Breathing together in a rhythm divine,
Knees left weak; senses not composed;
Their lips brush, arms entwine.

The glimmers in the sky, start dancing about,
The wind plays music, swarming around
Moon smiles down upon the lake, gait devout,
A prayer sent out, for them to be bound.

I sing for you

I sing for you

I sing for u O girl,
Listen to the ballad neatly coved.
I praise the lord for he made a damsel to be loved,
Trust me dear, a grimace so real
Like an elvin queen your smile does heal.

A beam of delight from the eyes like an angel's sight,
the tress on the face like a careless lace
Unaware you sit, of the admirer's light,
The shimmer of a diamond sought in your face.

O girl, I sing for you
A hymn of the elvin lore,
A meaning so true, its just for you.
A lonely star in the sky, catches the eye,
trust me dear, never do i lie.

wondering what you feel,
Sits a guy gazing at you, a comfort beyond fence.
Never have you looked more real,
The zeal you bring with a gaze so intense.

I sing for u O girl,
A ditty from the heart.
A wish to row with you on a endless cruise.
midst the green meads, all alone.
Steer the life to a dream to share.

A soft spoken maiden in you,
Every word you utter, like a nightingale,
Speechless you leave me,
struck by your charm and morale.

O girl, I sing for you
a song so true, a vibe so real,
Like a lonely flower in the meadow,
you bloom, to spread the fragrance of love.
A trust you show in me for a reason unknown.

A wish i make to a shooting star,
to see this face so cheerful forever,
Leave the door of life ajar,
for the happy Gods may venture together.

Diverse mind, Success entwined

On a rock I perch,

A lonely mind at work.

A plot unknown for a merch,

yearning a flight aloof like a stork.

On a lonely island I dwell,

wishing for a companion tried and true.

For my reckless zeal in me which swell,

For years I have left it brew.

On a note I had left my home,

Kith and kin await my return.

For helpless as I am in this dome,

My vent, So unwaning, I adjourn.

On this day I need a hand,

An abettor, an ally so rare.

I need to flee, to my land,

await my return, my people who care.

On a fiasco of hope I lie here,

Giving up myself against my will.

There comes a ray of hope so near,

A soul I slur brings a caprice on a freewill.

Together we start as a team,

never to give up we swear.

Had i not over looked him,

Today would be a past in the lair.

On a mission we are set,

I make a pitch, to row a boat.

Cruise the fierce, as long as we sweat,

An idea i knew was weak to gloat.

On a Yatch, a cruise we wrought,

To find our loved ones amaze and stunned.

Two can do a wonder never you had thought,

Says the man i, had long so shunned.

On a happy note, so now we start,

Two wings better than a one i sought.

Dream come true, straight from the heart,

United we win, united we fought.

On this poesy, i tell you my friend,

Diverse minds, shall prevail the stress.

Greet a soul, its never the end,

Chary will you be, whilst in a mess.

Loser Soul

Every soul suffers some hunger

Whatever it gets finds it meager,

To get more it is always eager,

all its life, for this it lingers

Yes it is the loser.

The weakness it tries to hinder,

For those who point out, it shows its finger,

Never comes out of the slumber,

Earns its name, the dreamer,

Yes it is the loser.

Always futile to find its soul's singer

Blames the maker to be the sinner,

Reaches the brink as a loser

Buries itself as a rotten ginger

Yes its the loser.

Dear Eros

O dear Eros,

Blessed are those whom you bless with love unsown,
The strike of the cupid and shower the fondness for a maiden forknown,
Hard to face the wrath gave me for some reason unkown,
Abandon me from the ardor I yearn leaving me forlorn,
Never will the maiden understand the relation between dew carried by the windblown,
So callows and cold she gets for the love upthrown,
For every vigor in me I just yearn for her talk so sweet as an elvish born,
O dear Eros, forgive me for the curse is hard to bear on...
