Distinctly Yours

We are not meant to be,
A part of each other's hearts.
Entwined to beat in the same rhythm.
I rush like the ocean waves,
While you stay calm like the shore.
Often driving me to reckless attempts,
Gathering substance from the silence you hold.

We that you and I form, 

Is not to complete one another.
For you,  my love, are your own self. 

Enchanting me with every gaze I lay.

When I try to be better everyday.
You and me do not complete the other.
Completeness as I see bears end of road.
Barring the avenues of growth.

I, my companion, will witness your journey

While you observe mine. 

Our presence to comfort us both.
And bond to nourish our will towards respective goals. 

Together that we achieve, 

Be our progress through individual successes.

The love, trust,  friendship and faith,
We develop and share,

Bless us with wisdom to accept tough times.
Bestow us with strength to overcome,
Anything that makes us try.

The world might say otherwise,
Command to surrender or better divide.
They could see us apart,
Lest they know that we are together,
In the different roads we take.
Our journey distinct but destination,
Be same.

Haunting

It's a long ravaged road,
On which I walk.
The mud dug apart,
And homes taken away,
From brick and mortar.
On a deserted road.
I walk.

Don't know why?
But I keep walking.
On a road dwelled before.
They talk of a song,
Which played aloud.
To soothe the souls,
On the deserted road,
Where I walk.

The souls have moved.
The song has broken.
It makes no sense,
As the song still plays.
Though the record is broken.

Oh it pains to see,
The road this way.
I can't stop to wail.

"Wail if you want to
But don't stop walking. "
Says something to me.
Don't know what or who that is,
But has spoken to me.

There's the yellow window.
Once adorned,
with pink flowers.
The flowers burnt.
The sunshine now brown.
I wail with you, oh window,
But I got to keep moving
I can't stop walking.

My soul's tired.
Looking around.
There's no hand holding,
No eye smiling.

You could have taken me,
To where you went.
I needn't be walking,
On this road again.
Which glares my soul,
As I walk alone.

I have come afar,
To lose my way to those roads.
But the roads keep walking,
Like a ghost,
Haunting me down,
No matter where.

Silence

Do you hear the chaos?
The silence brought in.
Deafening it seems,
For you don't speak.

Speak oh dear!
Speak what it is.
In your silence,
I can hear no being.

Differences which spring,
Let it rise.
For until we see it,
We cannot realize;
How far we've come and how long still to go,
Towards the light
Where differences cease to blight.

For you in me
And me in you
Could never enhance our existence
If you were me
And me were you.
With no difference to offer.
Nothing new to endeavor.

Speak oh dear!
Need not utter words.
With your presence
Your gaze and stare.

The distance that looms,
Resides in the silence,
Spoken by disdain.
Look around dear, break the lull,

In acceptance of the differences,
Is assortment of varied shades.
Each complete in its own.
Coming together of many,
Compliment one another.

The Pursuit

I longed to flee.
Flee from the traps of time bounded routines.
Directions that lead irrelevantly to sole destination;
Makes my soul bleed.

In the cringed space;
I yearn to spread my arms.
Close my eyes, though open but blind;
To shut the world around.

In solace, I see;
A world.
It never caught my notice before.
In me, a world.
Where I'd rather be.

A world where thoughts burgeon,
And understanding flourishes.
The hearts swells appeased;
Accommodating everyone's love and sins.
Posing the only limit of freedom.
Freedom to grow.

A world as one.
Does it really exist?
Not in practicality;
But I find it within me.

I am my world.
I encompass my world.
I envelop my world.
Now my world resides in me.

You Smile

Gleam in your eyes,
as you shyly smile.
The careless giggles.
Are not memories,
lost in time.

You smile,
in hard times
Like a rock,
that faced a blow.
The face shines,
no more.
But you smile.

I see you shine,
from far somewhere.
I see you rise.
The eyes brighten.
I am there,
far some where.
The reason,
to me unknown.
But I am glad,
to see you smile again.
