The Empty-Idle Chair

I'm sitting on an idle chair.
The heart's wandering I know not where,
Searching, seeking to share and confide,
While the world's all asleep outside.
The moon shies away behind a cloud,
As Heart calls upon't to hear its sound;
The stars are busy twinkling numerous times,
So is the breeze, blowing the wind-chimes.

The idle chair now seems to move.
It turns and turns itself to prove,
How painful it is to stay so still,
The void within, it yearns to fulfil.
It throws me down unable to bear;
Heart scatters in pieces round the empty, idle chair.

The Open Book

Sparkling waves come dancing more,
Blending into the sand-lit shore
While sun creeps back to its divine abode
Illuminating heavens on its way back home.

There lies on the coast an open book;
And as dusk dawns slowly in each corner and nook,
Its empty pages, like an empty soul
Seeks to fill itself, to be whole.

Thus amidst the vivifying hues,
It searches for its only Muse,
Who would sing the mildest melody
Rousing the soul to tranquillity.

Breezes blow, effacing the shackles
Of life and its ruins and unheard crackles.
Day goes to sleep as Sun bids adieu,
Soul finds itself in the mesmerising view.

The pages are empty no more,
Soul has so much to pour.
But only till it begins to rain;
'Cause tomorrow morning it will be empty again...

If it's the Last Time...

If it's the last time, I wanna speak...

If it's the last time, I wanna know...

If it's the last time, I wanna hold...

If it's the last time, I wanna show...

Speak my heart and call you mine,

Know your soul and keep you fine,

Hold your hand and walk long miles,

Wipe your tears and gift you smiles...

But...

How willfully you divert, how willfully you change,

How willfully the Time is so, so strange.

[Time's a cheater, a merciless betrayer.

Time's a colour-changer, layer by layer,

Don't trust Time it never trusts you,

It is the greatest healer, but a murderer too.]

Oh how I cry with empty eyes,

How I scream with broken sighs,

How I want to let you know,

And unfurl all that's left to show...

That...

You are the Joy, You are the Pain,

You are the Sanest, and the Insane.

You are the Silence, You are the Scream,

You are the Truth as well as the Dream.

You are the Heart, yes the Soul too,

I might be none, but I Love You...

Unsaid words are eloquent today,

Silent glances divert their way,

Passive smiles left to decay,

'Childish' pieces smile and say--

                 No one made me feel like you,

       No one now will ever do...

So if it's the last time, please wait a li'l more,

For no cause, no cries, no reason. no sighs,

No pain, no smile, no watch, no time...

Just a li'l more, for just a goodbye,

So that you can be you, and I,

I...
