Fall

Why put me

Through extremes 

Falling from paradise of union 

Into the abyss of separation 

What has left of me

Burnt ashes 

And some Hope

Time Stand Still

Every moment 

Carries eternity in its heart 

Each moment 

Carries an imprint of feelings

Through feelings 

I can touch the edge of universe 

Kiss the grounds of heaven or 

Peak into hell 

Though feelings 

I am able to lift the veil

That exist 

Between me and YOU

In that one moment 

Is hidden 

My whole life 

In that one moment I see 

My entire life pass by

I see 

Those feelings 

I have lived 
Either

blooming into flowers 
Or
Falling like autumn leaves

Let me take 

The sections 

Of your moments 

And pass them 

Thru the sections 

of my moments 

Let me merge 

Our moments 

To make the time stand still

In that one still moment 

You and me can stay

For eternity

Petal moments

Lets remember the good times and put the bad away for now. All those petal moments when we both sat down and made a flower out of them, a rose, filled with fragrance of your care and my affections. We wanted to keep that rose forever, so I wrote a poem dedicated to you, and saved it.

One Day You Will

One day

Only Love will stay

All else 

Will depart

One day

Only Love will matter

All else

Will disappear 

That day

You will

Miss me 

Like 

You have

Never missed me before

That day

You will 

Miss me

Like I miss you today

At Your Door Step

Trapped 

Among moments holding hands

Surrounding all around me

For past many lives 

Or more

Time has already escaped 

Leaving moments behind

Prisoner among 

High spiked barbed wired fence 

This empty void 

Silence 

Darkness 

Loneliness 

I am stuck here

like a dust particle 

thrown by winds 

but it all seems same to me

Its all empty

Pitch black 

Then bright white light

blinding me

Deafening silence 

So loud at times 

I cant cover my ears

I got no hands

I got no ears 

I have no eyes

I have no body

Suspended in this void 

I exist as me

Suddenly I turns to stone 

At your door step

An ordinary broken

lying in one corner 

with a desire 

one day you might see me

one day you might pick me

one day you might hold me

even if you then

throw me away

I am happy

Just being a stone

because

It's YOUR door step

I tried To Hold On Tight

I tried

I really did tried

I held on

To the thought

To that hope

That you will return

What is mine

Will come back to me

I tried

I really did tried

When the hope was slipping

I held on tight 

I was Pulled

Pushed, thrown

On the stones 

I bled 

It ached

But I held on

What was mine

How can I let go

Like a wild horse

It tried to break the hope

That only rope

In my weak gripe

You will return 

I need to wait

So what if it hurts

So what if heart bleeds

Whats mine

I won't let go

More I tried

Farther you drifted

With a slap I woke up

What am I holding 

Its just a hope

A broken hope

You have made up your mind

A decision 

A commitment 

Its already over

What then ? am I holding

I see my hands

I see my aching, bleeding hands

I see my empty hands

Only If I Could

If I could

I would

Kept you close to me

And tell you

How much I love you

And if you felt

That I love you too much

I would have left you

Just for few moments 

I would have gone

To that room

With the view of lawn

Looking at your door

Patiently waiting

For you to come out

So I can be with you

And tell you

How much you mean to me

I would

If I could

Take all your sorrows

All your pain

Instead I wish

I could give you

All my joy

I would 

If I could

Take all your dreams

Brought them to life

One by one

I would have given them to you

I would

If I could

Kept you next to me

In my arms

All my life

Until my last breath

But ...

Only If I could

Only If you didn't left 

I still love you

But now I can't tell you

Instead I write to you

A letter 

Day after day

Night after night

Months passing into years

Years counting my tears

I can't mail them to you

These letters of yours

I will always keep them safe

I will take them along

To my grave

Serpents

There was so much love
But there was also

Too much jealousy 

And insatiable desire 

To possess 

Existed as serpent 

In ego

Thriving on killing

And consuming love

Castles and castles were build

Over and over they fell

Destroyed by the fire of anger 

Love didn't give up

Tried and tried 

Getting weaker and weaker

Skin and bones

Taking its last breaths

But still have light of hope

In its sunken eyes

Your Words

People say Lotus is beautiful

They have not heard

The words

You whisper in my ear

Alive Memory

What am I

Just a memory 

But I still 

Laugh

I still Love you

I still become alive

When you think of me

Lost

By searching you

I was searching myself

Since I have lost you

I have no desire 

To find me

My Rose

It grew in my garden

The most stunning rose

My mornings

Were filled with fragrance

My evenings 

Were adorned by Velvet petals 

We spoke 

The unsaid words

We understood 

This natures gift

She filled my heart

I felt so loved

Her scent was divine 

Her touch was so fine

It was the prize  of my garden

Center of my attention 

I could just sit near

And look at her for hours

We departed 

Just for few days

When I returned

The Rose was gone

It was covered

With the Web

Made by the red eyed spider 

Who despise rose and me

An opportunist 

Took advantage

It gradually allured the rose

Sat on its petals

Giving tender kisses

Then made the web

Trapping the rose

Imprisoning it 

Causing suffocation 

Rose lost its fragrance

Then lost its valvety petals 

Died a slow gradual death

And I lost my best friend

My only place of solace 

Taken from me

By the Spider

Who still lurks around 

Watching me 

From every nook and cranny

Enchanted Mind

Welcome 

To the enchanted mind

Where you can see 

The beautiful faces of words

Where you can 

Touch their meanings

And drink their essence 

Or wear it as perfume

And then when you will walk

Your scent will create a poem
