LOVE LOST

Oh! such pain
letting love slip
out of my palms
how could I've been
so vain, so vain.

Now I cry
over my loss
as I realise
over the love lost
in vain , in vain.

My heart burns
and the tears drain
but futile my despair
and it remains
my pain ,my pain

I drift through
this world
with many like me
hiding the tears
in the rain , in the rain

BETWEEN THE CUP AND THE LIP

Written for ELLA's prompt at poets united



O fair maiden
from the cup as I sip
could there be something
between the cup and the lip


O fair maiden
I see your eyes in the
teacup brimming
everytime your home I trip


The lips have
many a words to tell
Yet I fear the slip
between the cup and my lip

DIFFERENT FORMS

YOU SEE ME 
YOU SEE ME NOT 
THE ICE ABOVE
THE WATER BELOW

THEN YOUR SUNSHINE
I TAKE THE FORM 
HAPPY AND GURGLING
JUMPING FROLICKING

THEN YOU TORTURE
ME TO KNOW FURTHER
MY SUSTENANCE
AND I TAKE DIFFERENT FORMS

I RISE ABOVE 
IN SPIRIT FORM
TO REACH ABOVE 
MY HEAVEN

AND THEN POURING DOWN
AGAIN WHEN
I AM NEEDED 
AGAIN ANOTHER TIME

The RESOLUTION

I shall not go
to war today
for though I lost the battle
peace will reign someday

I shall not cry
today
for though my  heart is in pain
I'll learn something thatway

I shall not set out
to conquer the world today
for what is mine
can never go away

GRACE

I 've known my lords love
many a times
and I've forgotten my lords love
many a times
Now that I remember
once more
grant  grace to forget
no more

How unsure am i
of myself
its only grace that makes me oar
to thyself
Accept me and
my prayer
that I'll not forget
my lords prayer

Your grace alone 'll suffice
n 'll save me
or shall i perish
in hands of the enemy 
Let me  then not
go astray
let my soul then not
myself destroy

I place myself
in thy care
trusting your grace
in the air
My soul in thy love
would then dare
for i know thou
answers my prayer

MY DREAMS

DISTURB NOT MY DREAMS
DISTURB NOT THE FAIRIES OF MY SLEEP
SWIFT THEY MOVE
IN THE ENCHANTING MIST
OF MY SLEEP
DISTURB NOT 
LEST THE BLISS VANISH
AND CAUSE ME TO WEEP

WHEN IT SEEMS AND NOT

 Melting in the timeless sky 
horizon lonely and shy
Saw nothing
but the leaves fallen dry 

Walking in the scorching sun
passing through the desert land
Saw nothing 
but only the glistening sand

Wading through the water
sinking in the endless sea
Saw nothing
but the waves hovering in glee

Then hopes sprung
of what is seen
and what it seems
And the heart sung

An oasis in the desert
A ship in the sea
A star in the sky
As dreams can be


But certainty a darn thing
when doubts start creeping in
Was that all of dreams
lasting just long as it seems

The star a jinxed one
The oasis an illusion
The ship a shark
Still thoughts in confusion.....
