Between you and Air





At times I feel
I am between your cigar and ash
that thin curve of smoke
which dares not touch your breath
vanishes in a minute,
and quite forgotten the next
cause its always at the other end…

Uncertain



There are moments I don’t know
If what I feel is real
If it’s going to last
or if I am but standing,
at the end of that thought.
Why couldn’t life be
just a bit simple and clear?
What if I get it all wrong,
Would I go no where?
May be its time to start afresh then,
cos this game has too many ways unknown,
Too little time to explore them all.
What if it was meant to be this way
will I last to see it all?

My Heaven



Awed I looked on,
as night shone over the rippled sea,
its froth touched the tips of my toes,
as its baritone got me lost
and its gusty winds blew through my hair

Between sea, sky and I,
somewhere while I got lost in-there,
I found heaven…
& it turned me to a mere shell
that laid in its way.

Gift of a 'life'



Every day
in our not so great lives,
its not the twinkling stars
that sparkle our wishful eyes,
its that ray of light,
that lits every sight,
our hearts, lives and thoughts alive,
sweeps through our dark nights,
through tears, fears and makes us alright
as its sops, at each breaking dawn,
a new hope,a chance to survive.
In subtle, these lessons lay
life's length until death,they'd suffice.
Yet, I seldom try,
and everyday I live,
this not so great life.
