Sajitha

Woman, yes YOU, like the shot of a cracker
With the warmth of light, a color unknown
Tall as a Tower yet shying away from your  own height
Riddle sometimes to make one ponder
And the very next moment in absolute giggles you will get another to wonder
Actions like a lighting strike in impeccable precision
And a heart that touches you beyond imagination
You walk through your own ways
Words are not yours to tell for they have no place
Only that coy smile and that lingering tear at the corner of your eye
Much has been your miles deafening all those fears
Girl, you are one of a kind with that razor charm
May your days and life be lit with your undying spirit and loads of love to follow forever...

The UPLIFT

Music poured into the empty silence of the hall,
Feet drummed the floor as the window shut gently to the flute of breeze,
Pigeon flights criss crossed as excited spectators,
I stood with a beating heart that just pulsated alongwith the orchestra.
My hair trapezed to the hold of the wind,
Not before a little ago when it just slept with the silence.
Is this an unseen embrace
or just my soul's uplift gravitated by the wink of music?
Pulling everything closer insanely
Drugged am I and so can you be
Yet move in such dizzy but alluring grace
Dripping down ecstasy and drowning in all at once. 

Invade

Oh my love! How do I say
Words don't seem to know enough
When spaces we created have burnt bridges.
Gaps stare into a blank or full mind, I don't know
Tried much did I to keep you at loving sight
Love and care, they just ebb as they rise
How can I make you my shadow if you don't stand behind?
This is no capture my dear, but invaded am I
It's love that shows up as a tear as I stand looking as though witnessing your presence,
Somewhere under these skies
Joy is my wish for you, peace be ours maybe or not, someday
When the world would seem even brighter
Just when smiles touch and eyes smile.

Cauvery am I

I danced to your tunes
As I cascaded along gleefully.
I gurgled so much to see your giggles.
Sunshine or storm, I embraced you,
The moment I saw your face.
Companions, I knew none other than you
Time soared, rockets flew, coloured lenses you wore,
Smoke burnt, soil cringed,
I still smiled to see you laugh
Oh dear!  Tears I can't cry as I dry
Will you turn your heart to bring me to greet you?
I silently wait, Cauvery am I,
When trees walk by my side,
Sea of contentment will be my sight
For your breath to be bright.
Now will be forever if you choose right.

Move(d)

One of those many miniscule moments
that stood like mountains
hearing the heartbeats tick away
In unperturbed discipline,
I sat at my door masterminding traffic
of a million thoughts.
Swinging smiles as the paths crossed by,
sometimes moving pebbles, sometimes climbing peaks of shocked silence.
Moving is everything and everyone,
as I seemed to still move
but with feet in one pace at the same place.
Love, it was and I willed not to
Oh! but life's shrieks, and there I go
Mirrors of you flashing by all the while
How could you not wave a hi..
As I tread my mile in my own stride
Grateful for many down that way
Yet, not you there, for teary wishful eyes to see
Move, move, those caring screams,
moving am I, but moved still am I
In your once gentle ways that I wish still stayed.

YOU

The little silly stuff that we laugh about
Just when a whiff of worry catches my breath
Is exactly what YOU make of me.

The short walk of a mile just for those warm handshakes
Just when the cold blow touches
Is exactly what YOU make of me.

That music of the knock on my door
Just when my heart must have shut
Is exactly what YOU make of me.

That stupid dialogue so uplifting
Just when I grow morose like the face of the dead
Is exactly what YOU make of me.

The fragrance of your soul that sings
Just when I would turn dumb and deaf
Is exactly what YOU make of me.

What more than words could I
When there is nothing left in me but YOU
Your treasure trove of precious friendship..

Dripping

My beats adjust in rhythm to your heart
Calls of your name ring in mine
Music or memory, no difference I see
Words I make of magical hopes at the vision of joyfully clinging leaves
Or even puny pebbles together
An element of presence
Enough to elevate spirit
No more tethering questions
Nor answers relevant
Just a dive in
Pools of tears of love uncontained
That I stand dripping
Brimming up wells of many others.

Dignity

Clouds unveil the shimmering sun
While the dainty daisy arches to the grace of dew.
Crispy winds parading over the swift seas
My eyeballs fall into the pit of wonder
As I tread the roads of this tenderly teasing  treat.
Little black ants and their fellows masquerade curvy ways
Mirthful mountains stand in awe
at the glee of the young kid,
When welcoming greens gently lie to receive caring feet.
Harmony subtle and in such honor
In beautiful silence they speak,
The depth and demeanor of infinity
Seeps in me the essence they pour, Dignity.

How long?

I tread as my toes decide
while the mind tries to learn the stride
Colors, fancies, trinkets, classy demeanour, these allure
But the charioteer within blows the conch of humble cries.
Stymied by the haze of the move unsure,
Eyes hastily want to witness the wait deep inside.
Longing growing longer than ever
To dive into the reservoir
Where do I fall as I see not
Where you hide
May I go deaf oh fear!
The nectar I can't wait to drown that's right near. 

My high....

So much of the heart's tears and the eye's cries
With each popping of the if's, buts and why's
Moments moving like soldiers and horses on the chequered board
The games of thoughts pry, all in the eyes of this huge world
Unfailing is the promise of truth of a lighting kind
But not without the war of denial and retreat of the engaging mind
Shine is not to see with a beam on another
But my own to glow on every other
For the needles have made many sigh
Bow oh Time!  Bowed have I
My wings are ready to see high. 

Flawed

Thought I had a bent heart, only when few words fell on my ears,
Did I see it was rigid.
Open was all I about I spoke
Just to see the puffed up pride glaring into me.
Oh dear one! I swim in a sea of bountiful hearts instilled with you.
Not knowing the rock that I am while being with life
This anguished arrogance that I sway in
And the intense kindness that you are in many
Little is my window open to see your glory.
Know not a thing as I flow by
Yet this beat that is still hitting subtly,
still stupid to not feel
One or none, I just stand flawed in front of you.
Wondering if or when I will make my way through.
