The widow who never married.


The widow who never married


who are you?His enigma, calm and gentle.
And it should be;for it's the maiden one.
Am a widow ;tender was her voice too
for herself a gorgeous ma'm.
Was it an accident?his lips mumble sorry in vain,
yes indeed;she paused a while;I was never married.
His drunken fingers forget the senses ;of his lighter
her arousing breath kept the heat in control.

Wat's your name?it took some time,
for his voices to spell the thoughts.
yea,indeed it's his heart beats
that need some time to settle down.
Her eyes fixed far across;beyond his shoulder,
and the crimson red window behind.
To his right on the table ,she left a card
it named some agent across the town.
She had her lemon tea and chicken tikka
still he can't solve that teasing puzzle.

Now ,he woke up in his royal suite;
had his enlightenment,on the night that passed;
she shared her story,life and love; he learnt it all
under the fading bedlamp light.
The lessons he learnt, were intact
always, practice makes a man perfect.
He cant remember her pretty face or name,
the hangover, not completely gone or never it will.
The lessons he learnt, were intact
always, practice makes a man perfect.


Name of the widow was never known.
Neither we remember her vague face.
Her shades and shadows haunt me now,for we know
the opened corridors cant be closed again.

ONAM



It took me twenty five years;
                                                to miss an onam
The cultural tribute, we keralites pay.
The king’s name was Bali,
We ,his people adore him Mahabali.
Sent to the underworld with a jesting blessing,
His soothing reign, that  we always demand.
Onam, our welcomenote to his majesty
A legacy that we keep pass on to the next.

We used to wander across the country sides,
Insearch of those delightful colours,
 Salute him with elegant floral carpets,
Primed with pleasure and virtues we had.
We used to sing ,swing and play
To make him feel, we all are well
We wore new dresses ,and put some make up
In admiration of those blissful days.
Amma will make a delicious feast; Those million tastes
i wish they stay forever,inside my soul.
It took me twentyfive years ;
to miss an Onam
Don’t know how more will it need ;
to reclaim those innocence.


Today, the world ‘idolise ‘ him, he is
Brand ‘maveli’ and this is ‘onam season’.
He jumps out from LCD screens; wears new  silks,
Cooks with an Oven and rides new bikes .
We lost his dreams and themes,in our past
And his splendour saga far before that.
He is just a funny fat guy;at least for now
he is brand 'maveli' and this is 'onam season'.

Now i am in my office chair
Making a profit-loss balance sheet
I enjoy my ‘happy onam’ day
After a well paid ‘readymade’ feast.

Am afraid to say ; stop these reckless acts
As the crowd will see the outlaw in me.

THE LOST KEY




I lost the key once again,
The key to my space, of life and lust.
The key, that I always keep myself with;
Today  i fear, i lost it forever.
               
Can't imagine how she will react;
                                the mate i share my space with,
Voice and cries will shower my ears;
                                as it had ,the times before,
Or her dewy silence will mince my tender feelings,
For god sake, that never happened before.

We sought the lock and keys on a sunny day,
Beneath the shades of a PayPal tree;
The day that i will never forget,
Though it seems long gone by now.


We named the lock, the hope;
                                                Guardian to my space
Keyed with faith and belief;
                                                Hope holds my space alive.
Faith and belief my wings; of just and desire,
They float me across the valleys; of calm and peace.


Had lost the faith, many times before;
                                                Regained from here or there
Coz she had belief; faith, found inside my space.
The lost and found game was on;
                                Can’t complain my possessiveness,
Yet the space stood opened for me;
                                                Coz the belief, she always had.

Today belief no longer with her,
Am deserted with a key in my palm,
I found my space shut and myself lost;
Still can’t complain the possessiveness.

I fear, i lost the key forever; now i know
Why they call hope, a magical lock.

THE LIGHT OF MY DARKNESS


For the memories to endure  another epoch
I compose a foreliner in my diary.
The melody never seems to cease
The diary never seems to fill ,
  Alma matter reflected some shattered images:
The voice of the soul whispered with clumsy eyelids.


     Your quest gave wings for my freedom flights,
    Your belief baptise my sins,
    Like a camphor i burnt my soul
    At the zenith of innocence that your looks hold;
    My carnal passions got buried forever
    In the depths of your moistned eyes.


 What did i miss is luxury;
 What did i gain is ecstasy:


I stand soaked in this rain of memories,
Brain does  things, what heart really wants now;
Adrenaline keeps its concentration high in my vein
Yes of course, my heartbeats enchant your name..
