As you leave.



As you leave.

Stairs, we take.
hoping the floors never end,
we never speak,
like the divided leaves, 
that never makes a noise in the wind,
as they broke apart.

Routes, we change.
The one we take isn't  that long,
nothing seems to be,
I walk slow , slower than 
the footsteps of shadows
and silence, that follows yours,
Everything runs in circles,
but this path doesnt. 

buildings, we see.
Where once i began,
Held your hand and
walked through a home of sand,
Chairs and shapes,
Like games of children,
they never change.
And you are still the same.

And I am the falling stone,
trying to win over gravity,
Like that salt which fights
against the sea.

As you leave, 
and this time passes ,
I try to make the hands 
of the clock meet,
and keep them near
 for more than 
a minute.

Living.



I generally take a lot of quick snaps of the sky and the trees, whenever am outside.
Maybe cause , I see a life in them. The only living things around.
Unlike the rush of busy streets and people walking around.

It's getting darker now.



It's getting darker now.
A night, that slumbers inside my empty pockets,
And the sun still hides inside your eyes.


Sleep.
No one cares for a morning tonight.

The days that went by





The days that went by
when the wind was dead,
And i walked with people 
outside my door,
 the scattered drops on the glass ,
with my fingers
i drew your face
and made something
which you never were. 


Artists make mistakes,
But I wrote a poetry of seven and half lies
And now am ,
Sleeping with a wet letter
All your names and my sign,
unread, untouched truths inside,


May be ,
you will open it after ages,
that which was a mistake once
will end up as a sin of present.


the days that are to come,
I still feel the wind is dead,
But you are walking with me,
with open doors,
giving me a shelter from rain,
when I never shared a sun,
 the scattered drops on the glass ,
with your fingers
you draw my face
and turn the water into a me
which i never can be.

turn to dust.

color me black,
 like those 
secrets, which sleeps
 as weeds
 on lips  
of that woman.
          
     she  walked for ages,
      with a piece of wood,
       searching for a broken cradle,
    And there she stands
       in-between upside down pots
    and wet grasses ,
  to wrap her son's clay. 

        color me yellow,
        like those  
     sun-rays, which settles
        as fires,
      on dreams
       of that man.

    He walked by shores,
    across sands and stones,
   Like a poetry in a beggar's sleep
     Stealing away two orphaned stars,
    And there he stands
 in-between upside down pots
     and the jealous night,
     to wrap his last sleep.

color me concurrently,
  all those
  shades, which snitches,
    as reflections,
 of a rainbow
  in drops.

   we are nothing but
   those drops that run through leaves,
 we stand in a row on the edge,
     and pretend to fall
   a million times,
      while it slowly breezes ,
   before we truly meet the ground
   and turn to dust. 


  In-between upside down pots
and wet grasses.

Walk besides me.


Yes 
sometimes am lonely and lost,
but am not alone.
the red trees walk/will walk besides me
 all the way ,
 till am gone.

You will return.

I watch you from the otherside,
No one shows you a land tonight.
Winter is no where near,
But you will wait no more,
you will fold your hands,
and make wings,
like a migratory bird
you will return back home,
even before the morning shines.

Dont listen to them.
people, they say,
 to sell.
You , you can mould a song.
Sing it,
you can sing it for me.
You, you can tell me again
cry it,
i will listen with silence,
till the night is gone. 

Just like my yesterdays
the tommorows will be red.
May be i will walk again,
from that path I left,
or that i began.
May be i will sing again
that sad song of heaven
or that of hell.
Left or right, past or present,
I know nothing about me
neither the four walls i see.

But i know when summer comes
you will be home again.
And i will dream of you,
the way you  look through your window pane,
waiting for the rain.

I watch you from the otherside,
No one shows you a land tonight.
I cant read the road signs,
Nor see the lights ,
But i know you break and bend, 
and will stand again,
Like circles it will  return,
like a string less kite you will fly




And return back home,
even before, the morning shines.
