Only One

One candle
lets light it, and
unite our darkness

One moment
lets share a laugh, and
forget our tears

One heart
lets make love, and
forget the world

One life
lets live it, and
forget its burden

~ Scars of Lovely Memories ~

Trying hard to relocate

Every broken piece

A memory that we created

Unknowingly destined to end

 

The normalcy you portray

Is unhealthy but helpful

The sight of your absence

Creates life into an abyss

 

We spoke of departures

Over countless drinks of love

Shinning wet eyes plunge

Into every vein we shared

 

Merging myself with you

Helped live every moment

Now that life is gray

It fakes colors here and there

 

Feelings get recycled instantly

Being fooled by my fantasy

Your every smile and voice

Excites a  pointless desire

 

Forgetting you seems harsh

Like an uncalled for death

Fictionally uniting with you

I decide to live this death

 

Somewhere this cessation

Includes painful pleasure

Knowing that your absence

Can prick every scar I make

forever discovering

Life is a quest

knowing about itself,

and

the basic reason

of its existence

 

We are mere wanderers

understanding every move

and

every string pulled

by the ultimate Beholder

15.8.11

Now & then !!

It was the first breath

Birth starts the journey

Not knowing the start time

Destination also was unknown

 

It was the first word

No hints of recollection

Was it Mom or Dad?

Or did I just wave a "Hi"

 

It was the first smile

With bunny like teeth

Purely a smirk it was

Sarcasm was faraway

 

It was the first yawn

Nose shrinks to tiny ball

Sleep was forced on

Now, stress works wonders

 

It was the first hug

Learnt the emotion of love

Unaware of its different faces

Simple feelings turned complex

 

It was the first tear

Peaceful as it could be

Now there is some immunity

A stage between chaos and calm

 

It was the first life

Starting with pure innocence

Pushed into the world of lust

Now, Breathing through this dust



-- Tanvi D


1.8.11

Misunderstood Destiny

Destiny,

A pre-decided

Maze.

Nothing alters 

Not even the

Result, nor

Our control

To lead it, and

Then follow it.

 

Too many faces

We see,

Voices we hear

And attract them

Mutually

In each others life

Something hits

And we connect

Instantly.

 

And then we wonder

Was this written

Or known before

To our heart.

Taking step ahead

Emotionally

Bond grows strong

Unknowingly.

 

Hardships,

An alter ego 

Of every relationship

Make an entry

Unfortunately.

And we are amazed

Again

Is it still written?

This future.

 

Every moment

People & things

That we encounter

Was it a matter of luck

Or we enter this world

With a list

Or an itinerary

Or with every piece 

Of this jigsaw of life.

That will complete

At our ultimate

Departure. 

 

Questions are plenty

Each having a

Hopefully convincing 

Answer.

But the one question

That will remain

Unanswered forever is,

Who answers us

And our queries

That we are born with

Or are given to us

To solve on our own.

 

We call it Destiny,

Isn't it?

The one that will

And the only one

That will lead

And answer all of us

Or there is a catch

A twist in the question

Whose destiny is a 

Maze in itself

Since its inception.

 

So we are back

To point zero

Where we assume

Or some don't 

That our questions

At least some of them

Will stay as they are

Forever unsolved.

And that our life is

Simply an impromptu ride

Given to us at birth

As a gift

Where we meet

People we love

Care, share and miss.

 

Ultimately we must

Thank the almighty

For gifting their presence

In our heart.

Hence,

Live life everyday

Every second

For every new minute

Is a new experience

For your life has

Many unrevealed

And fascinating surprises

Awaiting.

~ essence of heart ~

A step at a time
wandering everywhere
with a face
a clueless mime
Wondering
Wandering and
Pondering over
wonderful reactions
those self imagined
Strange longing of you
has swiftly entered in
taking complete control
of the complete me
with incompleteness 
of You.
Somewhere I confirm
I belong to you
Reality tells me
makes a joke
of my much mortal 
Destiny,
There is no fear now
simply a feeling of 
forced peace
pushing aside my soul
my heart
my love,
a given up gesture
to knock the gate
of the supreme power. 
Heaven or Hell??
Horns or Wings
Nothing matters
when every stream in me
is filled with you
your ongoing voice
lasting touch
warm embrace
and your eyes locked 
in mine. 
Claiming for a place
in your heart
my heart has stories
that will suffice
to get a verdict
in my favour
of staying in you
somewhere
for infinite seconds
that remains immortal
just like my Love.

~ it went by ~

A day of my life

Unknowingly

I got myself indulged

In You and Me

 

Paving a stairway

Never-ending

I lived on the roof

With You and Me

 

Words of silence

Flying

I take your breath

From yours into mine

 

The finger entangles

Walking

I feel numbness

Of Your hand over me

 

The moments disappear

Faraway

I live with a longing heart

Fusion of You and Me

Women, indeed

Hammer in one hand

Rose in the other

Only a WOMAN

does it better

 

Handbag in one hand

A baby in the other

Only a WOMAN

does it better

 

Pen in one hand

Onion in the other

Only a WOMAN

does it better

 

Tears at one moment

Smile in the next one

Only a WOMAN

does it better

 

Employee at dawn

Family at dusk

Only a WOMAN

does it better

 

Woman NOW

Woman LATER

Only a WOMAN

does it better

'boulevard of dreams'

Walking straight or

At times steep

On this runway

That pulls me quick

 

Amazed and Stunned

At what is happening

As this promenade shows

What my heart is breathing

 

Things I simply adore

And the people I respect

Smile and Wink at me

With ecstatic effect

 

Speed slowly quickens

With a desire to reach

Suddenly HE peeks

Pulling me through cheeks

 

The other side hides

Patches of dark life

Enemies of the ride

Making hurdles more wide

 

Reaching that high stream

Where one side is serene

But the other side screams

Leave my boulevard of dreams

Black [labelled] Comedy

"Jokes apart

Life still remains

A black comedy

 

People we meet

Few already are dear

Act as stand-up comedian

 

Either we or they

Impact everywhere

Results into laughter

 

Laughter so loud

Right from the heart

Wetting eyes instantly"


-- Tanvi D


27.3.11

...knocking surprises...

Knocking the destiny

Those words

I never wished for

Myself and for

Anybody.

Making me numb

And tender

That is surprising

Every part

Of the blank me.

Hiding those tears

My hearts eyes

Fear of expression

Covers my soul

Protecting my emotions

That took a major toll.

Every inch of hope

Cling too close to breathe

Irrespective of

Being ignored

By unfortunate events.

Now, there is nothing

To lose

Memories sit in my crypt

Breathing peace

Yet, there is no win.

A life sketched so long

Equally filled with

Unlimited and undying

Remembrances of

The history of assumed
 Togetherness.

19.3.11

"Discovering Life"

 Arrived on this planet

With GoD's grace and make

A soul filled with love

For everyone to take

 

A temper not known to the Sun

Was paired with a weak heart

Always swam in bad phase

As good was not welcomed

 

The soul was in deep pain

As love also wore horns

Nothing seemed dear to it

As millions scar had taken over

 

Wondering about conspiracy of life

And its purpose of existence

No road can be identified

Desires look unfamiliar to them

 

The uncertainty of this coin

One side reflects ardor and hope

Flipside shows strange face of guardian

A blend seasoned with questions

 

Certain aspirations have half life

And some are past avatar mandates

Forced upon our questioned destiny     

Resulting to some definite incompleteness

 

Standing in the world of possibilities

Knowing the departure point of each

Still juggling self with every chance

And wandering in the waves of negation

 

Unlocking and locking frequently

Swiftly moving every phase of phases

Heading towards the popular end

With a bits of desire and fear


-- Tanvi D


6.3.11

"Despaired Reality"

Crossing almost half-life
Without knowing when it ends
I sit wondering almost daily
A default question of cessation

With nil percent of fear
I wait to open the gate of afterlife
Not knowing hell or heaven
But assuring emancipation

Dear pals want to debate
The disturbing thought of exit
Speculating about my scars
That in itself is mystery

Life, an ongoing quest
Breathes nothing but desires
Those pure fortunate moments
Turning into unfortunate ends

Knowing this doomed reality
And ignoring its existence
I turn my heart towards Almighty
With wetting every arid corner

Feeling of ignorance stemmed
Consecutive smashing of doors
Develops a doubt about destiny
Considered as a gift by everyone

Reaching a step on the ladder
Where anger overtakes hope
With immeasurable darkness
Hiding the leftover inner glare

An irritating immortal hope
Makes me smile for a moment
And shed tears in the next one
Confusion at its peak spot

Flickering faith on possibilities
Developing an intense dispute
Hearts ignition and mental pause
Dividing & ripping off every yearning

Sudden birth of fortitude
Standing with absolute zest
In stillness of immortal desires
Smiling over destined solitude

Living under the tree of memoirs
Coating all over in its warmth
Waiting to embrace the end
Wishing for a better revival

...an insight...

A truth that sleeps within

And keeps talking to us

also listens to us

Tries to convince us

To let it free

But our nut-size heart

The poor sufferer

Has to go through

What the eyes see

And what the ears listen

Different perceptions of truth

Truth, a stubborn kid

And glowing innocence

Not willing to compromise

A cocktail of stress

Filling a huge pitcher

Called Life
 
-- Tanvi D

1.3.11

...sometimes...

 

Sometimes

Silence scares

Words are scars

Love that we care

Is considered as

Torturous to bear

Who should we spare?

The one in despair

Or those who are

Not worth the tear

Love is perplex

Making all complex

Wise are those

Standing on toes

With a beautiful rose

Even in their woes



-- Tanvi D

...mirror image...

She notices herself

In the mirror, but

This time it's her blindness

 

Strange blindness

Courtesy cold feet

And a shivering heart

 

A heart that is haunted

By warm memories

And bitter realities

 

One ache led into other

As she pricked

One of her dear vein

 

A vein that knew

Nothing

But living in peace


-- Tanvi D


Only You !!

There you are

Again

Whirling in my

Dreams

A lil at dawn, a lil at dusk

A lil in everyday

A scent

That you spread

Runs along every

Nerve

Dipping each of them

In the potion

Of love and

Passion

The spark of your eyes

Is still with me

In the ecstatic

Moonlight

It hallucinates

My mind

With our warms moments

Breathing

Just like a new born

Pure and untouched

Just out of the womb.

But unlike the

New soul

Our memories

Never grew together

But I know that

It's grown to some sort

In me

I am waiting

To hug you

Which you know

I never did.

I am missing

That deep breath

Of yours

Seeping through me

That hush-like sound

Still echoes.

The way you held

My hand

Nobody ever did that

To me

Nobody kissed me

But you

Nobody heard me

But you

Those silent moments

Of you, me and

That bench

In the woods

It's only you who

Gave me

And now I am

Addicted and crippled

That those memories

Have turned past

With no hint

Of re-entering

Now, every night

I start breathing you

Every thought

Losing direction in sync

Only weeps your absence.
