who are you?

It escapes free

A stream of glitter

that shines bright

Like a sparkle atop a cliff

In the middle of the night

I see her eyes...

The room is dark and cold

Filled with years of yearning

Of companionship and togetherness

And then the words wrap me

Keeps me cosy and warm

All through the night

I hear her voice...

soul searching

One is looking for someone. Is she the one?

She is looking for someone. Is he the one?

One would have to sail on a boat and brave the waves to trace the ocean and measure it's depths!

decisions decisions...

Half my career is a long stint in a company. All this while I was so occupied with work that I never gave a second thought to the sedimentation slowly clipping my wings. No, I'm not unhappy with the rating, promotion and role;  from a higher rung I can see many wannabes where I once stood. Success does not spell satisfaction anymore. A victim of stereotyping, my soul is fading into the void of stereotyped blue achievers. It doesn't matter how good I am at things I do. I'm headed for crossroads driving blind. How long can you stay at a place you don't belong? A question I have asked myself time and again... Decisions decisions... The Dream Within...

On the movie - "The House Of Flying Daggers"

A love lost in time. A new found love. A love filled with years of desire for togetherness. A love that desires for years of togetherness. A narcissistic desire. A desire altruistic. Austerities of love. Emotions lost in time. New found emotions. In the end, all but the emotions remain...

new year, new beginning?

"Aaoo Huzoor Tumko
Sitaroon Mein Le Chaloon
Dil Jhoom Jaye Aisi
Bahaaron Men Le Chaloon..."

Couple of hours past midnight, the smell of cigarattee and orange light from the lamp fills the bedroom. Yet another year dawns a yet another beginning. Or does it?!

circles...

Just like the seasons, I change
What to believe, I feel so small
Fight for what's right, don't need anything
Turn around, and then want it all

There's so much I can say
Yet I wonder what I should do
I'm free, still tied and locked to emotion
But desire splits me in two

There I go running in circles
As the earth spins around
One minute I feel on top
And the next second you see, I'm brought down

Like a pebble on a beach
I watch the waves come and pound
Waiting for some inspiration
Or until fate comes around

The answers seem so far away
So I just close my eyes
It's so hard to understand
But the truth can not hide

There I go running in circles
As the day turns to night
One minute I feel on top
And the next second you see I've lost my sight

[Words: Lou Francese - Madrid]

silence..?

"Another beginning." "Can you tell the difference?" 

"What do you think?" 

"Hmm..." "Isn't it quite a thing." 

"It is." "Amazing!" "Its amazing how it happens." "Can you figure it out?" 

"No." "But not all things need an explanation." 

"True." "Are you searching for one?" 

"What do you think?" 

In the arms of morning the stars fade in the twilight... In the arms of night the stars fall from the sky...

hush..!

She was unaware of his eyes lingering on her skin. Unaware when she got out of the bed, unaware when she came out of shower wrapped in a towel, unaware when she stood in front of the mirror and let the towel drop on the floor...

"You're beautiful!" He said lazing his eyes on her curves. Surprised, she turned back. "You're awake?" She met the naughtiness in his eyes with hers, trying in vain to conceal her smile. "I was going to wake you up", she said slipping into her salwaar kameez. "I woke up when you left me in the bed.., alone!" He replied with an impish smile, climbing off from the bed. "Might I remind you that I have to go shopping with mom?" She said stealing an iniquitous glance at his nakedness.

He was drawn to her fragrance. Raising her eyes to the mirror, she saw him moving closer and her heart started throbbing in her throat. Her senses were suddenly alive of his presence. A breath escaped from her lungs and she closed her eyes as his arms slid over her waist. The sensation was spurring her flame inside.

Gently, he turned her around, grazing his eyes over her face, her closed eyes, her quivering lips... She felt his fingers tracing her back, slipping inside her clothes, and gently pulling her close... He playfully brushed his lips over hers.., teasing her.., sensing the heat rising inside...

Suddenly, she broke away from his arms, ran to the door, opened it, and turned around to face him wearing her mischievous smile. "Hush..!" She said before closing the door behind...
