Death shall do us part !

I am desperate, hungry, and vulnerable,
I am hurt and refinedly gratified,
Love was leaving,
And, heart was cracking like a new cheap wall.
Ghost of the relation leaped into darkness,
I can see him offer flowers to my grave,
I sit in melancholy, in a shade - ambushed,
I have devils on my back.

Freedom is a myth, death an illusion,
Tell me when would you realize, you have to let me in,
Do it before my eyes can see you no more,
My ears shall fade to recognize my own,

The painter said it, with it's canvas,
How should I with my quiet lips?


PS:  A word of thanks to Avinash K Rai, for his photography has always been an inspiration, that it elucidates me to a world of esoteric. 

Decennial of Togetherness

It's here,

And we celebrate- though parted, another year,

I still recall the first time I met you,

Words exchanged were none n few,

I was reluctant, a little hesitant,

Your eyes, overindulgent,

I took a step back, 

Yet you poured all your love,

And set it free - your dove.

Only to come back;

My brain n heart protest,

I was sincere; so confessed,

It's with you my charming, I find my love nest.

It's been a decade today,

We understood it's no play,

I know you know, 

As life happened, our passion grows,

Brighter the flame glows,

You held me when the world went for a walk,

Ladies in hamlet- banter and talk,

When the light was bleak, 

And my knees weak,

Even when it began to snow, 

We went slow,

You held me tight,

Safe and right,

We shall come to grow grey, together,

I sublime in you and leave your side for never.
