missing her..

Walking by the aisle
where she once sat.

Hoping for the glances,
that she once gave.

Hoping to see
the sweet face, once again.

I, still
keep walking the longer route.
One,
that passes by her aisle.

And in the empty space,
she still lives!
And she even smiles at me,
like never before!

If I ever get to see her again,
will I turn a coward again,
as I always used to;
Dumbfolded by her beauty!!

dead or alive

Caught alive,
I was,
caged in a mirror!

Shot to death,
I was,
stuck to a photograph!!

dance..

They dance,
to the music,
they dance.

Holding the lamps,
measuring the steps,
they dance.

The timing,
the rhythm,
the feet,
still does the feat!

Just that the dancers,
will never see,
the tears,
that rolled down my cheeks.

They dance,
holding the lamp,
the light that they
never will feel,

They dance!

When the feat is done,
I clap, and I clap again,
'cause, that's all that they will feel
that's all that can cheer
the two dancers,
the bravest I have seen!

Note: This is out of an experience I had over the last weekend. A synchro dance performance, just that both the dancers were visually impaired. The sight dumbstruck me. The rhythm and the synchronization inspired me to every moment, they performed on the stage. These dancers are trained by a trust, who does such a commendable service on similar lines, achieving what we feel almost impossible! The trust's link is this:

tears of a cloud..

The bottled cloud,
began to cry.

In its sorrow,
a rain was born.

Rained and rained,
filling the bottle;
Pushing the cap,
and popping it open!

Now in the wake,
of the new found freedom
water waits,
for another sunrise.

To dry up the sorrow,
and make them smile,
into a cloud;
Again!

needs and wants..

I don't want
another today!
I will live,
in my yesterdays!!

I don't want
to get you back!
and all I want,
is another you!!

No one will
cry my tears!
So I'll ask you all,
to smile at my jokes!!
