Punishment

His eyes slowly soaked her in,fearful she wasn't real.She was a family of butterflies..fluttering, laughing at him.
No , she was like a handful of water slowly seeping through the openings of his fingers.He looked upto the heaven thanking his Lord . THANK YOU,now I know it was never love...no,it wasn't-slowly he suppressed
the resentment rising in him.

He held her with tender terror, unable to stop himself from doing so. How could he stop? The soft , parted lips,the upturned nose and her legs..which made his calloused fingers feel lucky enough to touch them. She looked upto him to say something...He shushed her petals saying it can be done tomorrow. There would be no words tonight,he could not bear it.

He told her of his life,wanting so much to penetrate into her world...his eyes apologised. It wasn't much, but she knew it all along. He couldn't give her much...She snuggled close to him, trying to find a softer flesh to nestle and be happy.She had to get used to the life without him. She was aware of this.

He had to go now .He had to leave her ,there were others waiting for him. Other's like her? No,there was
no one like her .But there were others he could not leave .It was raining outside and inside him venom rose
up.He looked at her again and again...was she the same? A slight shudder went through him...words could not
come- they felt too heavy tonight...too heavy on his tongue....She understood,... he , too knew she did. Slowly, he felt his sweat -drenched fingers curling around her neck. She looked up in horror? No,it was more of surprise.......

A final drinking in, one last touch. Every time, at every whisper , at every rain-soaked night ,this would come as a film in his eye. Collecting his backpack,he silently closed the door and vanished into the sultry afternoon crowd.

24 hours later, police wrapped the body of a lady ,found strangled in the hotel room, to be taken to the morgue.......

AT THE GHAT OF THE ONLY WORLD.........

And then they two met
   and sung an eternal song that 
     seems to have no end....
From dawn to dusk
         they went serenading in unison
for they knew it had to end
(she begged him to stop the time)
   "No ,the three sisters of aurora never does"
Memories will never fade
They promised.....knowing that
At certain point they will lose track
 They needed each other.....needed to perfect each other.....
History will get in the way
of their memory....there is nothing to forget
They hid their pain from each other
They could not reveal their pains to each other
If only they could have been for each other....
What would not have been possible
    in the world?
Nothing remains,everything finishes
Let there be an archive of
         vanished envelopes,
          unfinished songs,
          yellowed pictures,
And a fading remains of their voice....
(a map of longings with no boundaries)
Will they remember (when they die...)
         The spread winter air
          The glasses of mint tea
           The peice of space(they shared)
             T he tattered red shawl
              The intoxicated laughter
              And sighs of desperation

While the cruel hands of clock ticked by......
They will then, perhaps row into the sunset
     past all pain.....
AT THE GHAT OF THE ONLY WORLD.......
                                                            THEIR WORLD.......

A PART OF ME......

The
   strings of
           my heart
                 that
               you stum
  has
         intoxicating music
          sweet fragrance
                   accompanies
                           the music
              with each
                       breath that
                                   i take
             when nobody
                    with
                             tender care
                                  you
                      could reach
                                    my heart
                    now
                              I have
                                          enough reasons
                                                     to hate this world
                          but
                               am unable
                                           to do just that
                              as YOU ARE A PART OF IT!!!!!!
