NEARBY

Through the crowds 
I accompanied you
Yet you never knew
The dust  swarmed up 
and still I saw you
The dew drops in winter hue
The sun rays
in the morning blue
and I hovering around you


Through the whispers 
of the wind
My love shall flow
so shall the fading 
sun of evening shore
with the humming waves
and whistling trees
keep telling you
even more

The smile that betrays
the thousand tears
And the moments 
that come after
a thousand years
all have I known
from the depths 
of your heart 
a thousand times

There you are I see 
You may never know
Yet in some dreams
I'll tell you of  tales 
of another door
of which you may
one day  know
for I am your angel
from yesteryore

LOVE LOST

Oh! such pain
letting love slip
out of my palms
how could I've been
so vain, so vain.

Now I cry
over my loss
as I realise
over the love lost
in vain , in vain.

My heart burns
and the tears drain
but futile my despair
and it remains
my pain ,my pain

I drift through
this world
with many like me
hiding the tears
in the rain , in the rain

BETWEEN THE CUP AND THE LIP

Written for ELLA's prompt at poets united



O fair maiden
from the cup as I sip
could there be something
between the cup and the lip


O fair maiden
I see your eyes in the
teacup brimming
everytime your home I trip


The lips have
many a words to tell
Yet I fear the slip
between the cup and my lip

DIFFERENT FORMS

YOU SEE ME 
YOU SEE ME NOT 
THE ICE ABOVE
THE WATER BELOW

THEN YOUR SUNSHINE
I TAKE THE FORM 
HAPPY AND GURGLING
JUMPING FROLICKING

THEN YOU TORTURE
ME TO KNOW FURTHER
MY SUSTENANCE
AND I TAKE DIFFERENT FORMS

I RISE ABOVE 
IN SPIRIT FORM
TO REACH ABOVE 
MY HEAVEN

AND THEN POURING DOWN
AGAIN WHEN
I AM NEEDED 
AGAIN ANOTHER TIME

The RESOLUTION

I shall not go
to war today
for though I lost the battle
peace will reign someday

I shall not cry
today
for though my  heart is in pain
I'll learn something thatway

I shall not set out
to conquer the world today
for what is mine
can never go away
