The Window Of Time

You held my hand as we walked
Across the smiling bridge with open wings
You took a step forward and turned back
To find me staring at you... an efficacy!

Blinded by that sparkled vicariousness,
I too, took a step forward
And Pulled you in my arms... Oh Love!
That impulse,the numbed mind, that instantaneous touch...

The bridge swung with a joyous mood
As your silky mane touched my lifeless cheek
Flowing in full fervor, the passion, timeless love, sweetened tears...
The grass was green and the waters, blue!

Hearts indeed bore feelings divine
As the days passed by, waving at our enchanted love
Showering the countless confessions and misty memories
And your mysterious look, an addiction, in the moonlit night...

But adversity was meaningful for the meaningless
With pain and faith entwined
And I could sense it coming my way
In your form, pain; in mine, faith!

A lot has changed since then, except for me
As you've parted away from my soul for him
And if you wish to know the changes, if at all
Engulfed in my sad voice, 'm ready to tell...

You knew you were all that I had
Why did you leave me then? Won't ask,
But when you were gone, I imagined you in shadows
Gliding with the flakes of your touch, no, won't cry!

And I stood watching from my window
The way you hurled my hand while I stood with broken wings
You did move ahead again, but never turned
My poor heart ached at the very sight...

Blinded by your false feelings
Took a chance and stepped forward to hold you
You were gone by then, pulling my everything
Drowning slowly that impulse, why? My numbed heart, this instantaneous pain.

The bridge trembled in its final moment
As your unfaithful lips touched his skin, why... tell me, why?
Flowing in full vigor now was my disturbed blood and sour tears
Trust me, the grass isn't green anymore and the waters have evaporated...

Hearts were made of steel and the feelings, of wax
The days passed by without waving hands anymore, none to leave
With the endless silence and bitter memories
All mystery in that moonless night, my prediction.

YOU HAD ARRIVED

I knew you had arrived
At the isolations of my doorsteps
I knew you were waiting
To light up the lamps you had once left.

I knew the moment had made its way
For us, to kiss each other and cry
And make those last promises
Once again, before you see me die.

Where were you all these days
Wished to lie down in your warm lap
The floor was cold and the glass fragile
But not more than love and this mishap.

I knew all that mattered was the end
And here with you I am in my last moments
Please touch me and wipe my tears
Begging your attention before I settle in sands.

No, don't let those precious diamonds touch your cheeks
Tell them that you were forever mine
And every night would come to the terrace
Promise me, you would and search the sky to see me shine.

Ah! I knew my heart had arrived
While I touched the strings of pain
For feelings emerged from the heart
And pain was its holy name.

Why do you move your li'l fingers at my lip?
Do you demand some more silence
No, you know, don't do that to me
I've already been living in my solaced reliance.

I am sorry, I was demanding
Still you tried to find innocence in what I said
But I was caught in a spider's web by then
Everything beautiful apparently but heading towards death.

Of this age, since I knew you had arrived
I had prepared myself for this wishful talk
Please hide me in your bosom, don't let me see
Your face, before I go forever on a void walk...
