"AH!!ROMANCE IS UNDONE...." (A ROMANTIC AUBADE)

My Love!!The night has cast deep slumber all over the world,

This is the precious night we share our secret,tender words..

The clouds have covered the stars and the moon bright,

The animals and birds have taken cover in the dark night...

The cool breeze has stopped travelling on its way,

The nocturnal creatures have said the bushes not to sway..

The ghastly ghosts have returned back to their crumbled tombs,

The unborn baby is fast asleep inside its mother's womb...

The ticking sound of the clock stabs the silence of the room,

The muffled beat of your heart has send message to night flowers soon to bloom..

The holy angels holding their magical wand are descending to the earth,

Let me kiss you this night when our love had its birth....

Let the candle flame burn the evil night's every vice,

Let me sit beside you and stare at your drowsy eyes..

Let my love-rich eyes express its love to you my lady,

Let my heart quench its thirst drinking the wine of your sizzling beauty....

On our first love anniversary,I propose you this night,

Giving a kiss on your forehead let me hug you tight..

Kissing your palm,I offer you this red rose,

Sitting on the bed,cherish this rose without tears....

"I Love You",my darling,You are only mine,

Come aside,Sit beside and give on a sweet smile..

"Ah!!The Romance is undone,but the dawn is approaching like a knight",

Let me leave your room taking the veil of the last hour of this romantic night....

"LEFT AND GONE"....

Left and gone,

Leaving behind memories,

Sweet and sour,

Of summer and the winter....

Back and forth,

I search for,

Your smiling face,

And that angelic voice....

Found and lost,

The Love of my life,

Now constantly floundering,

For your return back,I do hope....

Lying and crying,

I do pretend to sleep,

But as the night grows,

I see you inside my closed eyes....

Here and there,

Any girl I see,I try to trace out,

Your smile,Your face,

Your eyes,Your lips....

Slept and wept,

Coz your presence,

Is just a vague,

In my Life which is but yours.....

"WHEN I DROP MY EYELASHES"

When I drop my languorous eyelashes,

And darken the world inside my eyes,
My vision then crawls to a more darker place,

Where I come upon memories that make me blithe and glum.....

The happiest of memories are those,

Shared with friends, family and elders,

Saddest become the sweetest of memories,

When I am alone and  miss them all.....

The same reason that made me smile,

Now paves the path for tears to roll down my eyes.

Few minutes I smile cherishing my past,

Still the glassy eyelashes get a bit damped!!

Don't know why??When the saddest of memories,

Taunt and prick my flabby heart,

The lips wear on a genial smile,

And take the stinging teardrops in....

All done, when I open my vexed eyes,

And mop the crying eyelashes to make them smile,

Finally, When I surrender myself to sleep,

"The final two teardrops make their way out...."

"THE POET INSIDE ME...."

                                                                                                       

The evil night was dark outside,

Disturbed I walked towards the mirror,

Stood infront it with dazzling eyes,

And the flickering candle flame added light....

Taken aback was I,looking at the blurred image,

When I noticed my eyes drowned in pain,

Could vividly get the inside picture,

Of everything that they witnessed....

The lucid pen that my thin fingers hold,

How can it write on a topic so very well??

To this query of mine,replied the night,

"Your pen writes from the ink of your heart"....

To the mirror,looking still,I asked my heart,

"Where from you get such immense feel"??

Replied then my heart with a soft voice,

"From your eyes that observe things very deep"....

Then I stared at the candle's burning flame,

And thought deep about the blurred image,

Which it did cast on the mirror eyes,

Then I got the answer to my inside query..

"Am I really a poet"?? Let my poems say.....

"THERE SHE COMES"

Amidst the dark night,

I languidly lingered,

Weary with thoughts,

Of my long lost love….

When I passed by the street lamps,

Each reminded me,

Ocean of memories,

That were linked with my beloved…..

I walked alone, missing badly,

The five fingers of my beloved’s left hand,

That used to grab and clasp,

My right hand’s  five fingers….

When the wind softly blew by my side,

I was struck to the longing memory,

Of times when I used my fingers,

To remove the strand of hair from her left ear…..

Then from the far distant, I could see,

A lone figure slowly approaching towards me.

My heart witnessed it and whispered,

“There she comes!!There she comes!!There she comes!!”

And there she was!!!!!

"TIS' NOT EASY TO STAB MY LOVE...."

This hard Have I tried

To stop the contact with you.

Now listen to it,

And imagine how tough was it….

 

It was so easy for you to say,

“Stop contact anyhow”..How??

For it took me seconds to count,

To learn living without you…..

 

The seconds were progressing too slow,

And the momentum of my life was at halt.

But mind had become my heart’s master,

And consoled the heart every time it shed tears….

 

Anytime  your  contact number ,

 Was pressed by  my thumb,

The message from the mind,

Took the thumb to the cancel button….

 

Still anytime when my mobile vibrates,

I check for your call or message,

But  I don’t find any….

Still I do the same everytime…..

 

I search for your face,

In every girl I see,

Vexed I say my eyes,

“Look down, This is not She…..”

 

 

Its not that I am not trying,

To stab my Love,

But it is that, my Love is much stronger,

It stabs every attempt I try to stab it…..

"MY ANGEL!! MY LIFE…."

My foe, fetch no weapon to kill me,

Instead bring me my beloved,

Who kills me outright,

With her sanguinary looks….

 

Why fetch the anesthesia??

Just bestow the angel,

Whose pleasing seraphic voice,

Can slay my consciousness…..

 

Chant of any magus can’t bewitch me,

If you want me trapped,

Presage my lass to smile,

She smiles and your work is done…..

 

Want to ruin my sleep??

Minstrel, Don’t play on any tune,

I stare at my beloved’s  glinting eyes,

And the complete night awake am I…..

 

I am the richest of men,

If I have her with me..

But once she is gone,

Amongst the poor ,I’ll  lead the list….

                                           __ABHISHEK RATH.

 

"THE FINAL MINUTE OF MY SURVIVAL”

All fuzziness of thoughts eliminated,

Still there is an awful lot to learn,

Its the Almighty whom I mentally summon,

To express all anxiety thats still suppressed.....

 

All the laughters ended in tears,

Still I am not afraid of this lethargic situation.

This is the final time I adore His creation,

Tonight after death becomes mine, I have no other fears....

 

Just a few minutes more,

Then my beetling eyelashes, I shut for ever..

And surrender my vexed body to the eternal slumber..

All my fame would then lie buried under the dead floor.....

 

At my death bed I have none as my rival,

My undone work would be done by some inspired lad..

My soul fares all well before leaving this vile world,

"For this is the final minute of my survival".....
