And if?~~~~

And if I told you
That you are a God
Fallen and self forsaken
Roaming an aimless world
Merely to save me,
Would you believe me?

Would you allow me
To shut your eyes close
And to place, on your heart,
A kiss,
A kiss so feverish
That it would open up
The locks of your soul
To have you see for yourself
That which I try to mean!

And if I told you
That life on Earth
Has no meaning
Other than giving us all
The opportunities to be miserable
So as to repent for our falls
And to yearn for the higher abodes
Would you allow yourself
To be swayed by my words
Would you see truth in them
Would you believe?

Pray, nothing matters more
Than letting the vines
Which we have engulfed in our hearts
Free,
So that they do meet with each other
And tangle among themselves
To build, for us,
The steps leading there
To where the higher power wishes to see us!

Why, you are a God,
Fallen for the sake of the love
That rules us both!
Without you, I shall cease to exist
Without me, you shall always be empty!

Love hurts~~~~

Love hurts,
At least, it does,
When it is true and genuine
Or not reciprocated
Or requiring one of the two
To be overly submissive
Even shedding off one's attire
To adorn that of the other!

Love hurts,
And requires only the pure at heart
To stick to it,
As diligently as stars do
On the dark sky,
Every single night!

Love hurts,
But,
The choice of holding on to it
Displays its sincerity,
After all,
Would life even have a meaning without it?

Pray, love hurts,
Yet,
As if, driven by my own subtle instincts,
I remain pining for it,
As if I were a drug addict experiencing withdrawal,
Finding no solace in anything else,
Other than in its enslaving whiff!

Why, life on Earth remains conditional
Going through stages,
Stages, each laden with own hues,
Hues guiding each and everyone
Towards their respective path!

And I,
Have had love's distinction
Revealed to me,
As if, it were a page
And I, its pen!

Pray, love hurts
But I shall keep myself bent on it
As long as I shall have enough stamina
To carry my soul in my body!

For the sake of fated Love~~~

Why, when the Goddess incarnate, herself, suffered
For the fulfilling of her fated love
It becomes the norm for the rest of humankind
To suffer for same!

Pray, Love, rigid at times and melting at others
Has me swirling in the open sky,
Filling its expanse
With lines and lines poured out
From the secret diary of my heart,
Lines,
Meant for one and all to read
As, just like for the Goddess incarnate,
My tie with Love
Is one which originates
From when Existence was set in place!

Pray, every space of my material self
Is filled with the yearnings for Love
So much that no place is left
For a substitute!

Why, the agony of the Goddess pulsates in my senses,
Her delight runs through my emotions
And her plight is inscribed in the core of my soul!

Life, if meant to be without Love,
Would be void
And needless
So much that Existing itself
Would be a waste!

Pray, after all, stars would exist not,
Without the night,
Life would exist not without its mystery,
Gods would exist not without faith
And music would exist not without lovers!

Why, when the Goddess incarnate herself, suffered

For the fulfilling of her fated love,

Who am I to be denied of such
When inscribed such is
On the parchments of my own fate!

The Foul Air~~~

The Heavens' lights turn off by themselves
The Gods and the Goddesses lower their gazes
Suck in their tears
And retreat to their respective apartments,
While, having, engraved on their faces,
A poem, hurting and suffering!

The Heavens' air turn foul
And the fairies,
Shuddering with fear,
Mutter among themselves,
'Something is just not right!'

Pray, the Mother of the Gods stands up
All alone
And glances, in her magical mirror,
At the happenings of Earth!

Remaining ever so silent,
Her lips shut tight,
She can help not but let blood trickle down her face!

Her agony cannot be felt by anyone
Though it can be seen by everyone
Yet, none can come to her help
As,
The whole of humanity has chosen
To forsake the path she has chosen for them,
Caring,
Rather, to indulge in the pleasures
Of temporary sins!

Why, the whole of the Heavens are grieving
More so, since, they can have no control over things,
Their hearts, suffering with the pricks of pain
Shall be ignored,
While they'll try
To keep carrying on with their duties
While the Mother of Gods
Shall wipe her tears and smile comfortingly at them
To imbibe in them
Her strength!

The lone star~~~~

Dusk has fallen
The evening sky, enrobes her grey dress
And adorns herself
With a lone star!

A lone star,
Which catches my gaze
And which bids me
To wonder about the cause of everything!

Why, like me
The evening sky shall die
To be reborn as a new dawn,
A new dawn
Invigorating those who shall feel its glow on their cheeks
Along with the blessing of the joys of life!

Like me,
The lone star
Shall cease to shine
Its demise shall break mirrors into pieces
And cause soils to rattle
While bringing seas to tumble by themselves!

Like me,
Nothing shall exist someday
Pray,
Maybe,
Not existing is the real state of bliss
When
Everything else
Is simply the weight of our karma on our souls!

Believe~~~~

Hovering over me,
Is the credibility with which I adorn myself
And with which
I tie you to me!

Pray, when this world relies on facts,
Facts which nevertheless get burnt
As easily as paper does in fires
I know,
Believing in that which cannot be explained,
Which cannot be discerned,
And which remains so subtle
Is a feat meant not for the faint hearted!

Yet, the credibility of mine own self
Is what I rely on
When dirty water floods my foundations
And when the days remain as dark
As nights without the gleams of stars!

Why, this world is but a mystery
Many have tried to prove its meaning
But in the very end, its essence
Lies in that which remains unknowable,
That which shall reveal itself
As it wills
Upon its own schedule
Upon its own course!

Believe!
Yes, please do!
Believe in the eternal bond that we share
Believe in the passionate love in which we burn
Believe in the mystical story that life set for us
Someday, somehow,
Hand in hand,
We shall pluck cherries in evergreen gardens
And we shall be content
Knowing that,
Our love emerged winsome
Even when we were challenged with a conditional world!

Believe in the silence of the skies
Believe in the glimmer of the moon
Believe in the power which bids wind to blow
And water to flow!
Believe in it all
As everything else,
Is mere falsity!

My resolution~~~

I'll follow you to the stars
I'll forsake that which pleases me most
I'll lay my heart open for you
To cherish and to caress
As if it were the rarest of flowers!

Why, the meaning of Love has already unfolded itself
The darkness of existence
Has given way to its mystical purpose
And I,
Can only succumb to it
As ecstatically as bees do
When they meet with nectar!

I'll swallow my tears even
I'll choke on my hurt and pain
I'll smile if you so desire it
And I'll forget that I exist
Seeking to cater solely,
For you!

I'll unravel life's secrets for you
I'll dig up life's mysteries and
I'll show you the way forward
Towards there where we are meant to be!

I'll allow myself to bloom into a Goddess
The same one which you hurt
And caused to fall,
While you'll morph into a God,
Mine sole!

I'll hold your hair and play
While you'll create stars in the firmament
I'll demand that your gaze be on me
While you'll see that the Universe flows smoothly
I'll sit on your lap and bury my face in your neck
While you'll decide on the fates of souls!

Why, I exist for you
Deprived,
I shall perish!

This Love Story~~~

Desires crawl all over me
In my bloodstream
In my veins
On my skin
Even in the beats of my heart
Desires crawl all over me
And I,
Like a mermaid having the ocean for myself
Can only enjoy their pulses,
Pulses which echo in the shimmers of my eyes
Pulses which get written, encrypted
In between the lines of my poems!

Desires crawl all over me
And I, suddenly, can soar from the seas
To the skies
To kiss the moon
To blow at the sun
To scatter the stars
And to tease the Gods!

Desires crawl all over me,
So much that eyes closed,
I forget everything else
From toils to miseries
Caring solely to build my castles
Imbibed with the hues of love
Founded on the solid grounds of mysticism
And held together
By strict moral codes and principles!

Desires, as have been desired by the higher powers
Desires, meant to be the embodiment
Of a love story
Which shall outpace time and overpower Death!

Why, if they adorn not life with beauty
I wonder what would?

Knocks of Doubt~~~

Doubt, so like a selfish demon
Hovers over me with a sarcastic smile on its face
And I,
So like a lost and shivering bird
Cowers beneath it,
Biting my lips till they bleed,
Keeping my eyes shut tight,
Waiting, for when it would tire itself
And move away, leaving me to tend to myself
And to my choices!

Pray, it remains a matter of unshaken faith
To stand and to face the gales of Doubt
However mighty these may be
For, once, I have been trusted as being worthy enough
As to be revealed the cause of my purpose here
On Earth!

My belief in my cause
Remains the reason why I smile at times
And why I cry at others!
My belief in my cause
Holds me firmly on the ground I walk on to
And gives me a focus
As to where I am headed to in this realm
And to where I shall be,
In my next life!

The demon of Doubt can sneer at me
However much it wishes to
For the fire of mysticism has already been lit in my heart
And like a dutiful priestess
I do tend to it,
Making sure it keeps on being lit
And never gets doused off
Why, shall it someday be that my convictions
Turn out to be void and disappointing
I would still accept it as being the consequences of tests
Thrust upon my soul
By those powers that rule over me and over all of Existence
By keeping themselves subtle and invisible!

Languishment~~~

I am the course of a river
And you, Love, remain the ocean,
The ocean, wild, raging,
Deep and alluring!

I go on my way, trying to forget
About my yearning to merge into you
I go on my way,
Offering sooth to humans on summer days
Offering homes to aquatic animals
And bliss to water nymphs and fairies!

I go on my way,
Trying to pretend that my tears fill not the river bed
And that my heart bleeds not with the weight of amorous love!

I go on my way,
Keeping my lips solidly closed
Knowing that if do open them
I shall cause the river bed to change its course
And destroy not only myself
But all those whose path I shall cross on my way!

Still, it remains an accepted fact
That all rivers do have to meet with the ocean
So, I shall keep going on my way
While swallowing my tears and by
Rejoicing upon my chosen silenced state
Merely because of the faith in the power that drives my breath
And in the hope that it gives me!
