An Incomplete, yet complete love story

I have known the joys, sorrows, pain and happiness, emanating from true love. In this lifetime it is a great blessing to know all the facets of true love. One has to be blessed enough to experience such a love in its wholeness and I am blessed enough to know this true love.

I have felt the pain of unrequited love, anguish of loss, but also the joys of reciprocated love and togetherness. Just like pain, joy is ephemeral too, vanishing like a vapour in the atmosphere and leaving behind a lingering fragrance of mist.

I will spend my days in this lingering fragrance and remember the moments of joy and pain, until we meet next, somewhere in the cosmos.

Time Never Heals

Even a lifetime of happiness can never wipe the traces of memories accumulated over many past lives. Time is infinite and so are emotions, which grow more and more with time.

Imprinted upon the soul the feelings of love and affection can never get old. They flow along the time’s river gathering particles. Each particle, a shadow of memory, a silhouette of remembrance.

Time drifts continuously. The soul with imprints ebb and flow, carrying, memories and emotions forever to go.

                 

I Hold You

I hold you inside my heart. You are in my unfettered sighs and breaths. I read your name in the fine lines of my palms, just as a devotee reads a psalm.

Your thoughts are a spiritual part of my existence and are etched deeply in my senses.

I wish I could break the walls of the time and let our destinies be forever entwined. 

But, still I cherish the stolen moments of our love. A love that is undefined, yet so pure and divine.

  

She Wondered

“I travelled thousands of  miles, just to see you, everything else is a veil.”

These words came out not from her mouth, but from her wounded heart evaporating like a vapour on seeing his bright face.

It was a pilgrimage for her to see the God who resided in her soul, whose encouragement and unconditional affection made her what she was today. One doesn’t meet a person like him every day and when one does, just don’t let them go. This was one thing she couldn’t do.

Still, she was happy to be connected with him. Over the years their bond flourished and strengthened. Often she thought what life would be if the two were together. These thoughts took her to a dreamland from where she never wanted to return.

But, the real world was different for both. Why this happened she wondered…………..

Same Destination

She wished to end her life, for all of her desires were fulfilled. Her heart was filled with the joys of a satisfied and well lived life.

While he wished to end his life, for there was nothing he could get from life. His dreams, aspirations, hopes were all crushed.

Both expected nothing, but death. Their contexts were different, but the destination was same.

The Final Embrace

It was a cold, dark wintry evening. The earth lay cuddled in snowy arms, yet the surroundings were cozy.

There was a soft tinker in the snow as his footsteps approached. From a distance, she could see his perfect silhouette. He was draped in a brown overcoat, his face an angelic reflection, his moist eyes sparkled like diamonds. Then, he stood and unfurled his arms to summon her.

Of everything in the world, what else could she had asked more from God, perhaps nothing. She gathered her strength, ran towards him and hugged him. A tearful river ran down in that tender moment to flood the entire universe.

A loud thud on the ground, eyes shut, enclosing the love filled glimpses.

Both found solace in each other’s arms lying forever in their final embrace. 

Imprints

We leave our imprints on time's hands. They speak when we are long gone forever. Our words,deeds, behaviour everything has an impact. The rose has thorns , but still its beauty and fragrance mesmerises one and all. Sometimes, being bad or rude might be just a protective mask, the real essence lies what exactly you are from inside.

There are many aspects to the personality of a person. One may behave according to the prevailing situation, but the inherent nature of a person never changes.So, lets change for better if we can and when people see our imprints,may their hearts be filled with dreams and hopes.

Reveal Your True Identity

You - whose heart pains to see the downtrodden people,

You - who has great intuitive power,

You – who instills power of faith and prayer,

You – who makes other believe in their dreams,

Tell me who are you in this human form ?

You seem to be a human ,  but are on a much higher plain than us mortals.

You are different from humans, whose hearts are dipped in selfish desires and motives.

You are no angel, for you are far more superior to angels.

Tell me, oh! pious one exactly who you are?

Reveal your true identity to me.

My Love for You Is Growing Day By Day

You are irresistible, enigmatic, wondrous and bind the world in one thread. How can I ever express my deep - seated feelings for you.

As far as I can remember our affair started in first grade and since then, there’s no turning back. With every passing day I see your newer aspects, which only makes me love you more.

I have felt your love and affection with every word I write, with every rhyme I compose. I wish to continue our excursion for eons and be in your arms for eternity.

Oh! “English” (language) I love you so much.

A Home Inside

Softly, subtly and slowly, your memories have made a home inside of me. A tiny dweller by your name resides in this home. Whenever, I wish to see or meet this person, I just knock on the door and that person lets me in with a lovely smile.

It’s a dream world of my own and I guess everybody too has one! Though I know it is a mirage, an imagination that is just like an air bubble, but I feel safe inside this bubble. Life doesn’t always grant us what we seek, the way we seek, life is not cruel either and gives what we seek in some different way. What matters is the emotional bond that develops and keeps us together  drenching each other with heartfelt wishes.

The Girl Who Loved Dandelions

Everyone loved roses, dahlias, and daffodils for they were the epitome of beauty, colour and brightness among flowers. But she loved dandelions that were pale, hazy and ended up as colourless spores floating aimlessly in the air.

                                                 She was like a dandelion. She had no shiny face or jet wavy hair or any adorable feature. No one ever loved her or dived deep into her heart to feel the immense love she had hidden inside.

                             As dandelions were shun away so was she. Thus, she poured every single drop of her affection on dandelions; nurturing them with care. This way both felt being loved. She danced with dandelions , flew with them to the end of the world, experienced the air rush in her hair, ah! such happiness she found in the company of dandelions AND one day she slept in dandelion-arms, becoming one of them.

Nothing In This World Is Ours Except........................

Even the air we inhale leaves us and if we try to block its path, we will choke.So, better let it flow. Likewise, we need to flow with life the point where we try to modify or stop it, life too stops. The words we speak are lost but their essence we can absorb and light a flame in our souls. "Pain" occurs when we start expecting. The moment we stop expecting ( a difficult thing to do) feelings like pain, hatred, jealousy, belongings will go away.

" Death "- the final destination. This body of ours will not go with us to another world( if another world exists where all the souls go ). But, I firmly believe that the truthful emotions always stay safe within us and these emotions definitely accompany us to another realm, only to sprout again in next life. After all nothing in this world is ours except “eternal emotions ".

What I seek

I seek a place in your heart. A place to talk, walk, feel and spill my love on to you. I want to build a home in it, where I’ll soothe your worn out soul. I’ll create a garden of joyful flowers around, water it with hopeful dreams. These flowers will flourish, reach out to you, and make you smile like a child.

I wish to absorb all your pain, sorrows, worries and return back happiness, affection and smiles. Keep the doors of your heart ajar and let me enter. Let me fill the cracks in wall with care, let me balm them with wonderful wishes, let me decorate them with  blessings in galore.

Let yourself smell the fresh wind, let your mind be calm, let your heart catch these vibrations, let yourself in my arms.

Your Glimpse In My Heart

For the past many lives your glimpse has been tucked in my heart. It ached every time I tried looking for you. I thought you only existed in my thoughts and in my dream world, where every now and then I frequented. But a day came and you were no more a figment of imagination, but a reality very much. At first I couldn’t believe, but slowly the feeling started to sink in and still I knew that I would never get you. But the ways of god are stranger than we think. After all the life’s atrocities, dilemmas, revolutions and with god’s kind grace, I got my gift that is you!

Just happy to have you in my life. No matter what the way is, I cherish all those emotions, feelings, moments spent with you and I am thankful to god for all this. Wherever you stay, I will always pray for you. You are the most precious pearl.

As Pure As You

In this long journey of life, I have never met a pure soul as yours. Even if all the treasures, diamonds, gems, riches are on offer, will never trade them for you. You are priceless. Your heart is unadulterated like elegant white bliss, in it resides the goodness. You change the life of everyone, whom you touch with your sheer honesty, prayers and good wishes. I know many troubles you have undergone, faced wrath from people who don’t even acknowledge you.

But then there is god, he might delay things but doesn’t completely wipe the opportunities. A new chapter of your life will start now and it is just like the island you have always desired. God knows the righteousness of your heart, he truly loves and cares for you. The bad time is now over by lord’s kind grace and a new era of good time has dawned upon. May these be the  best years of your life with many more such years in store. No one is and can ever be like you. For you are as pure as you. 

Tokens Of Your Memories

Words of encouragement, love, faith, confidence, promises, dreams, hope, friendship are the tokens of your memories. I keep them close to my heart. When in doubt they never let me fall, guiding and watching my every step. An invisible force holds my hand, I know it is the pious emotion emanating from you.

Life has its twists and turns. Transitions are sometimes painful, but when they are for the greater good of all, one has to bear the pain. This pain will subsidize when the transitions are over, leaving behind their trail. Till then sweet memories are the best companions. Softly woven into my mind, your memories have become a part of my soul, glowing me from within. I cherish these precious pearls, slowly and steadily as they unfurl raising me higher.
