Talaash

Raat ki ghani thandi chaaon me,

Yaadon ke taaron ki roshni me,

uski khushbu ke hawaon me

khoya hun dhund me

dhund raha hu ek nayi aahat ko, ek nayi si mehek ko,

dhoond raha hu phir chhoone ki chahat me,

kabhi kahin takrata hu,

kahi kisi ke sirhaane saans leta hu,

darr hai ke kohra na uth jaaye

kahin subah na ho jaaye

kahin talaash khatma na ho jaaye

Kahin sapna na toot jaaye

Captivating Beauty - Fields of Gold - Redux

Ethereal experience of beauty just lingering in my mind ... A soulful balance experienced ... the candles, the soothing yet striking orange lights ... a lady with a soft wonderful voice singing an even more mellowed and deliberate version of the 'Fields of Gold' ... A memory captured with technology

Lost ….

Words lost in confusion,
A smile to mask,
A confused fusion,
Of Eyes with the watery sparkle,
and the intermittent display of mirth,
an expression, without a wrinkle

A search for answers,
seeking the deepest depths,
in the now unchristened soul
The ‘Big’ wrongs,
The ‘Small’ rights,
Nights interminably long,
A lie missed, a truth too bold,
Where did I go Wrong

A love untold

One day, I’ll go away…
My words will humm ...
Into your ears,
the song I wrote
Over the years
for the one I dote

A bloom too soon,
a winter tear too far
the afternoon gloom
the lonely midnight star
is all you’ll see a
One lonely night,
darkness you’ll leave,
into the light,
of a love so tender,
your new life
a new wonder

And my song no more,
will float in the air,
a faint echo of love & lore,
a forgotten story of
love untold

Rain, the tease and us…

Wind ruffles my hair as I look on,
Your fingers feeling the silver streaks,
Drawing closer, you say ‘Hold on’
Mist blows a chill in the warm togetherness,
A shiver you can’t harness, while
Arms awide, I breathe and smell
You touch with a mocking smile,
Inviting rather tantalizingly,
a brief interlude of lust,
amid the open hills
Rain, tease and sleaze,
I look, smirk and indulge,
Wilderness, mirth & love
A muddy puddle of
Rain, the tease and us
