Soulmates

“I don’t want to leave,

my Life-pots are yet not full.

From You I want no reprieve,

I love this Maya’s lull.

Halt in its magic tracks this day,

lest it elopes with our dreams.

For my heart in solitude may

by Your pleasant thoughts redeem.

Parallel twines, our life-lines;

yet I wished they meet and knot.”

Swishing, sighed her silk and braid

as Radhe, wistful, set to leave.

“Forms must play their set charade

Live-die,connect and split

and thus by Time be deceived.

Grieve not in separation,

for souls bond across lives to knit

soulmates into devoted unison.

A hundred lives hence this day

Our souls in their unsaid ways,

shall each seek the other.

Know this, my soul-mate, Radhe,

now rest undeterred,”

Kanha smiled in love….

Once is forever....

No rewinds, no encores;

moments glide into oblivion.

Scents, gestures, voices beg for store

hovering as halos hanging on….

Dangle now on heart’s bleeding pegs,

your laughter, sulk, nods and shrugs;

framed snapshots of minutes bygone

now my companions through night to dawn…

Truly said:

Some best memories are sad

for they remind us what we never had!!

Trapped in recall….

Emotional cyclones

Batter beliefs and reasons…

Something feels good

Though I know it never should…

Trivial events stack caverns of memories

Self indents, Life waits in unease…

Memories refuse to fade;

replaying, trudging hours forlorn.

Chord plucked has overstayed

vibrations linger on…

Emotional desperado.

I hide, they seek ; I run, they chase.

Trapped in an imbroglio,

I listen, they whisper in a forbidden embrace.

“When cologne and melody long linger,

When memories regrow from graves,

The thoughts were meant to adhere.

You’ll fail fighting the waves!!!”
