THE KEY

The key of my hopes were in your hand.
I was seeking it and then you opened your sweaty lovely palms
and its magical wand..
and showed me the key to my hope.

I started running after you while you high-walled, jump-walked,
trapezed, waltzed in-front of me.
Oh, I wish I could keep up with you.

I sat down with despair and tears in my palm
and the picture of my key to my hope..
reflected back to me..

It was yet  in your hands though
Oh, how I struggled to get it back in my tow.

The earlier combinations i tried, unlock me no more.
all safe in my journey's ring, a peek into my past's solved doors.

The key in your hands
call  me out to my future's roar.

Oh how bad I want it, where it rightfully belongs
but I know you would not hand it over to me just like that
till I come  closer
till I look deeper
till I go harsher within me
till you demand me all I feel
till before your pull I kneel
till more cruel I allow your kill
till I get through myself peel by peel..

to find inside me,
what I am seeking in you.

The love I ask of you,
I need to search inside me.

The hope I look for, in your eyes
I need to soak inside me.

The high I extract of you,
I need to find beside me.

The repentance I demand of you
I need to forgive inside me.

Then maybe..
I would find my way back
to what was always mine.
but misplaced to your warm sweaty inviting palms.

The key to my hope and freedom.
The key of my liberty and wisdom,
lying right there for me to pick up and move on..

Cold Heart

The lights are dim.. I am lost in touch of your whim. You fancied me and left me to fantasize. I touched you in my heart and felt paradise. Yes you, the one who has hurt me and yet I bleed for you, the one who might have blurred me yet I breathe for you. I remember the love on your lips. I remember your hands on my ribs. I remember your frenzy in me bore. I remember your whisper to my furore. I remember your fragrance making me crazy. I remember your taste leaving me fuzzy. You were adorable from head to toe. I was high or numb falling behind your tow. I loved you from the howling of my body. I loved you also from the musings of my parody. I loved you like I love water.. Around me always, yet thirst for some more of its splatter.. I loved you like I love a delicious graze Filling me with wonder leaving me with heavenly taste.. I was so much into you and your warmth I lost sight of when I lost my own aplomb You pulled away the warm blanket you had covered upon me.. And the cold started

सच?

हां वो हमेशा वाला प्यार नही हो तुम पर बांहों मे प्यार से भरते हो ये क्या कम है? माना कि कुछ भी हमेशा के लिये नही होता पर दिल जो है ना उम्मीद ही नही छोड़ता। पर एक धड़कन वो भी है मेरे अन्दर जो कहती है कि जाने दो क्या खोया? कि पल भर को तुम्हारी नज़र जो मुझपर थमी, क्या सदियों से कम थी? पल भर वो एहसास जो तुमने दिया, क्या सालों की तड़प पर रहम ना था? पल भर जो तुमने छुआ, क्या इस ठहरे दर्द का मरहम ना था? क्या हुआ जो प्यार पल दो पल का था या असिमित, बस सच्चा तो था ना??
