When you don’t come…

Xpre$$!ons...

I smile for a second, laugh for a minute,
and before the cry returns,
I wait for the best moment to come.
That moment is again; a get-together for some seconds,
a second that brings happiness elongated.
When such awaited call rang no bell,
a tear ran down my cheek.
“Don’t come but don’t promise,”
my heart cried…
But I faked it, and said “it’s okay”
I don’t know how you wait, oh woman!
Woman, whose man is on the border.
I cry hopelessly, when I feel the distance.
And the next time you come,
make no news.
It hurts, when you don’t come.

Xpre$$!ons...

No, I am not asking for anything more,
little less but not lesser than less.
There is more in everything I ask for
But less in what I think I have.

’I am not the only one asking,’
….is what you would say,
So, I ask nothing at all.
But take away all that ‘very little’ I have.
For petite they are, and they stay no longer.

Xpre$$!ons...

It's so difficult to stand, stand in one place for long!
Every time i stand there, it's just for 'some' time.
That time, this time and every time,
i wish no distance from the old that has gone,
i wish no closeness to the newness to come,
...i wish no colour that changes me,
i wish i stand here for long and say,
"It's not so difficult to stand, stand in one place for long!"

"I walk back to the same shore again, back home and yet homeless"!

A sea of emotions

Xpre$$!ons...

There was a wave of tide that rushed unto me;
I stand there looking, as they wash my feet,
it runs back to the sea like a child in the game.
The sea water came gushing again,
I am crying within.

A tear settles in the corner of my eyelid,
and drops down on my wet feet,
it goes back as water to the sea.

I reconcile and sit down the shore side,
There is noise that fell into my deaf ears.
I was being watched, heard and felt.

While I thought I was all alone,
There, she made me feel her presence.
I am sad, and she was gay.
Hers was the water, mine a tear.

They said…

Xpre$$!ons...

They said, ‘careful ahead, go slow.’
I ignore.
They said, ‘you’re doing it again.’
I ignore.
They said, ‘it’s wrong.’
I ignore.
They said, ‘I don’t have to do this.’
I ignore.
They said, and kept saying.
They still are…
I ignore.
They said, ‘Ignore.’
I listen.

15.2.11

Xpre$$!ons...

And the second time I have fallen like before,
but not a fall that would mar.
There’s a foothold,
keeping me grounded, unlike before.

22.1.11

You are the man I wait for

Xpre$$!ons...


No wonder this happened again,
you came with a surprise way in,
and so many surprises await.
For a man that you are,
this togetherness makes you my mate.
For a woman that I am,
you are the man I wait for.

Don’t make me wait for long,
take me away with you.
far, far from the coldness of this longing.
Unseen, untouched that our love is,
i see a touching, staring future ahead.
For a woman that I am,
you are the man I wait for.
