Journey

Life is indeed a journey , thats too one about which you you can never be sure whether you ll be able to reach the goal which you set for. Well most of the high-spirited persons tend to dismiss the whole affair as the sheer inability of the cocerned person to withstand the pressure of highly deamanding situations. That in my opinion is too simplistic an approach to classify the world as achievers and failures. The story goes much beyond that. You yield somewhere to gain elsewhere. You let down someone to meet someone else expectations. The same is the case with my life. I may not stand tall as victor in my life yet I would prefer to make the same choices regardless of the end to which I may like to meet in my life.

Heartfelt grief

Endless joy with rolling tears,
the dreamy eyes , artificial cheers.
the pain embedded deep in heart
And memories fly to the aching past.

All delight and dreamy flights ,
crash into the zone of twilight.
The poetry spurts out of heart with pain..
And all I do look my life at disdain.

Back to pleasure!!!!!

It’s pain that flows out of the eyes of lovers
Long parted and just reunited
It’s the gleam in their eyes that shine so bright
Never again to be parted and lost
It’s the joy of their morrow’s life that’s glow
When they hug each other limb to limb
It’s the comfort they longed for years
That comes with soft stoking hands
It’s the warmth that was missing in life
Which they feel kissing, holding each others face

Night

The midnight moon stud high in the sky,
Soft stoking breezes flow low and high
The beautiful darkness cloaks the ugliness,
The rustle of leaves is all in the name of noises

The serenity spreads for long and from long
The faraway twinkling stars, choir the song
They sing of love, the oft repeated tales
Those self immolating Doves who perished in Vales

Some humming tribute echoes among hills
I know not from where they come to the hills
The ages and ages, they hills have shed the tear,
That rolls down from peak as life breathing rivers.

Last Meeting!!!!!!

Long shadows of evening that intercept each other
Uneven meadows where children ran hide and seek.
Under the shade of tired sun ,we sat to discover each other.
With my eyes focussed at you and your zeroed to peak.

Twiddling my thumbs, I urged you to accompany,
My dear, you said, It would be too hard a journey
Your strange face, bearing redness more than the sun in backdrop
Oh, was it the same one, with whom I enjoyed the symphony.

The more I feel I have discovered you, the more stranger you get
The eye seeming shining, my tending to wet
You were mysterious, a stranger as never before, .
All I I said I have to discover you yet.

Longings!!!!

Again those evenings will resurge back to life
Those still have etched our names
Again that hymn shall be played
That is witness of our union hour
Again those flowers will blossom in yard
That we exchanged with promises soft
Again those dawn will be sunny and sweety
That ll shine with faces so pretty
Again my sketch book will get bright colour
That sport your bright face , an unaccomplished piece
Again those verandahs will resurge to life
With peal of laughter and sweet voice
And again I yearn to relive the past
Oh!! But I could get it Alas!!
-Ashu

HOPE!!!!!

Days are not far, sun’ll shine,
Honey laden orchards and aroma of wine
The drowsing winds will sweep forever
All the merry and joy full time

The cloak of darkness ll be lifted forever
The dead biting cold ll be banished from here
The buds will rear up from wilted roses
And all the happiness we ll share
