NECESSITY

Miles apart…
The ocean playing barrier
Emotions ebbing
Competing with the waves,
Rising and falling
Circumstances deter them
No means of proximity
The need to look
Into one’s soul
Feel the thrill…
Of that smile.
Making you dream
Far beyond ability
The need to see
The heart of happiness
Soaring high.

I hate long distance relationships!

Oath Of Recollection

Hey You! Standing there…

Hey you! Remember the fair?
I’ve gotcha lookin’ at me.
I pay no heed
Lest I care
Hey! I swear
I’ll be there for you
Anytime you dare
As long as I’m there
I’ll always care
Everywhere
What say you?
Do you care?

Never got to meet him after all that!

Journey There

Two hills and valleys
Of sun and shade
Between still and windy
Earth amaze
The need to move along the grove
Of trees and shrubs and stars above
A stillness covers the fields
A warmth descends
A shrill bell rings
And condescends
Peacefulness and curiosity asunder
While traveling along the stars under
The final destination
Oh so very high
Climbing beneath the crimson sky
To the land of clouds
The land of trees
The land of wind
and true cool breeze
when the ascent is finally over
just stand on top
look down to the land of clover
and never forget to finally drop!

Scheming Techniques

Deception and manipulation
Are the names of her game
Slippery and unawares
Trapped like prey
Nowhere to go ..oh
Cornered by disgust

She’ll do it to you all the time
She’ll do it to you anyday
She’ll do it to you all the time
She’ll do it to you(2) anyway

Caught by her distraction
Techniques and schemes
She’s a regular at it
Evil view painted clear
The target is invisble
Till you’re oh.. to near

She’ll do it to you all the time
She’ll do it to you anyday
She’ll do it to you all the time
She’ll do it to you(2) anyway

Blackmail and false promises
Venom oozing from her breath
Taunting and eradicating
No escape detour
Intervention with guilt
And oh.. backfiring motives

She’ll do it to you all the time
She’ll do it to you anyday
She’ll do it to you all the time
She’ll do it to you(2) anyway

Just immunise the effect
Of sight or sound
No necessity for poisoned reaction
No time to spend understanding
The cause for hatred- coz oh yes!

She’ll do it to you all the time
She’ll do it to you anyday
She’ll do it to you all the time
She’ll do it to you(2) anyway

Uninhabited

The sun is setting 

And so is her life.
She thought he’d return…
But the copter had failed him.
Was he alive?
Her heart felt empty.
Her mind refused to accept 
The fact that he was gone.
She wanted to cry.
The tears wouldn’t flow.
She felt like a star
Without it’s light.
Like an uninhabited island-
Deserted!
She tells herself
`Life must go on’
Her heart says `no!
I am empty.
I cannot go on.’
