Deep Down

bliss

The song I hear deep down

The one I wish to sing;

The tune played all along while

The lyrics framed pictures around.

And then I see myself singing

Blissfully and knowingly;

Through a truly happy inner voice

The song I hear deep down.

Silence

Silence

Not much to say

Nor a look

Just silence.

Mind unconvinced

Empathy shared

Just silence.

A loss irreplaceable

For the soul-mate

Just silence.

I hear her speak

Of life and living on

In silence.

Only Fell Along

Destined

Only a furlong

The distance gauged in a blink

I walk, and walk

Aimlessly the miles

The distance gauged into infinite

I knock, and knock

The endless while

The destined I see in a blink

I halt, and turn

Skeptical yet assured

The destined never faltered

Only fell along.

Explain…

Explain Love

As I sit thinking

My husband puts his arms around,

My shoulders feel his warmth

A smile spreads instantly.

As our eyes meet

I say, I love you,

A sensory reaction

I fail to explain….

My personal diary is dusty and outdated.

Have shared with her everything;

A silent witness to my tantrums too.

She means not much to me now

Yet I cannot imagine parting;

As I look at her in the cabinet

I say, I love you,

A sensory reaction

I fail to explain….

A few days ago I got a mesh fitted

To keep the intruding pigeons away;

Yet they built a modest nest outside the kitchen

And the couple continued to live unaffected.

Annoyed though, I cannot stop feeding them

For the sheer joy of seeing them together.

As their eyes meet mine in fear

I say, I love you,

A sensory reaction

I fail to explain….
