Insomnia

I know why I can't sleep in Ajmer
It is the sharp peaks of these barren hills
They twist and turn at night
Change shapes
Devils in the dark
They move around when I close my eyes
I want to conquer them all
Peak by Peak
Subjugate them
Own them all one Day

Then and only Then

I want to Break Free
From all that is around me
The Boundaries and the Bondage.
Me and My Soul
Breathing Fresh Air
Living with the Spirits
Then and only Then
Will I come to you
Not to Seek anything,
Just to be there
Like the Wind and the Trees.

Grey Skies

Grey Skies make me Miss Your Smile
The Bright Twinkle in Your Eyes
The Careless Toss of Your Hair
The Swing in Your Steps
The Tic-Tac of Your Shoes
All of it adds Together in my head
To make me want
A Warm Sunny Day
Out with You
With nothing to do
But to Love You.

Lost

It is a Typical Winter Night
The Moon has given up its struggle
And gone to sleep under the Clouds
Everything is still
I can hear my Breath
Feel it Freeze
Warm Blood and Cold Breath
This is what I am
A Paradox
Lost in the Silent Night.

You are my Miracle

You took my hand
And led me to the Temple
And I smiled
For I have seen a Purer God
In You
I have felt a stronger God
In Your Touch
I have heard a stronger God
in Your Voice
You know as well as I do
I don't need a Temple
All I need is You

When You are not there

Last Night
I took a Scissor
Cut the moon into Two
It Bled Silently
Shedding Moonlight.

The Cosmos

Whether we live
In a Universe or a Multiverse
The Facts remain the same
My life was not complete until You
And no amount of matter
Or antimatter
Can come between Us.
The Pull of Your Love
is stronger than Gravity.
This ever expanding mass
Might as well be contracting

Sea Shells

Like a Boat riding the waves
Up and Down
I am swimming in Your Love
Calm one instant
Stormy in a flash.
When you embrace me
You are the Captain
Steadying the Ship
Lead me to Shore
To An Island
Just You and Me
And Sea Shells.

Silent Partners

On a snowy night
Who leaves these footsteps in my back yard
Neatly spaced
Firm impressions.
I did not hear you
But felt your presence
Felt your warm breath
Against the cold
Silent Partners in this Life
We need not speak
Our commitment is quiet and strong.

The 4th Dimension

Stuck in the 4th Dimension
Time wrapped around Your Image
Your Love wrapped around Me
I feel Secure.
Everything turns to Dust
Stellar Dust to Stars
And that's how we Live
Shining in the Night Sky
Looking down
Like Angels

This Fire

Autumn Leaves
Tossed around in the Wind
Stir up the Emotions
Out for a Walk
I Long for Your Soothing Touch

This Fire that burns inside Me
I need it to keep me Warm
To keep my Heart from Freezing Over

The Journey

The Journey Now
Is not about how we got here
Or where we are headed.
Don't need You
To take my Hand
For having known your Love is enough
We live and We die
Life is what happens in Between

Success

Here to Win
Or Lose
I don't define Success
As Money
Success is
What You approve of.

Summer Eve

A Sultry evening
Gives way to a warm night
Sounds of Your laughter
In my Ears
You are as Beautiful to me Now
As when I First  saw You.

Fall Again

I thought
Fall had Snuck by You and Me
Lost in the Grey Skies
Till we came home to a Glorious Afternoon
Sun was reflecting bright
Ground was dry
Leaves crunched under our Feet
The Walk by the River
Was a Walk to Remember
And to Forget
The Pain

The Zen Philosophy

I am giving up on desires
Not want anything
No You and no Me
Not waiting for good things to come
Don't want Nirvana
Not looking for Peace of Mind
No end to Suffering
Pain or Pleasure
Two sides of the same Coin
Let it Flow
No End and No Beginning.

Janoo

What do You do
When a piece of Your Heart
Goes Missing.
Pretend
It is still in You.
Every Corner is a reminder
That a Soul took a Breath
And Died Here
A Silent Soul that Never said a Word

Tear

Trickle down Your Cheek
Glows in the Bright Summer Sun
Like a  Drop of Pearl

Unconditional Love

Twilight makes me Toxic
I long for those days
When between the Sun and the Moon
Hung a Care free Desire
Desire to be with You.
The Look in Your Eyes
Said everything
The Smile on Your Lips
Words unspoken
Yet All understood.
Unconditional Love
I knew then
I will Always be Yours.

Waiting for You

It was a Clear Night
Cool and Crisp
The Moon was hanging
High and Dry
Moonlight
Like Daggers.
I sat out there
Waiting for You

The Pulse of Time

I have my fingers
On the Pulse of Time
Feel it Bounding
An Irregular Beat
A Wild Rhythm
Feel the Power
And the Fear
Everything Flows through here
Love, Hate, Loneliness
You
Me
All things in Between.
Death
And Life.

Hand in Hand

I love the colors of Fall
Red Yellow and Orange
All blending into each other
But after the leaves are gone
The Barren trees
Haunt me like phantoms swaying
I want to be out barefoot
Green Grass and You
Walking hand in hand
Zinnias and Petunias in flower beds

Everywhere I Go

The Color of Red
Will leaves soon Turn
As Fall Creeps up the Trees
Inch by Inch
The Warmth of You
Is Always there
In my Heart.
It is for me to Love you
Unconditionally
To have this Feeling with me
Everywhere I go.

My Respite

Waves of Sunlight
Breaking from Behind the Clouds
Spread like Wild Fire
You are out there
Bathed in all this Splendid Glory.
I run my fingers through your Glowing hair
Your Eyes are as Deep as the Oceans
You are the Epitome of Love.
All the Evil in this world
You are my Respite.

Want those days Back

Gently
With Soft Footsteps
Those Memories come Knocking at my Heart
And I Remember
All Those Precious Moments.
I Still have the Lip Stick marks
On Your Coffee Cup.
Carefree Love
Is How I define my existence
Lack of it is Torture for Me
Thought of it is Ecstacy

Love

Neither Does my Love for You Live
Nor does it Die
It is  always There
Just There
Like Clouds Floating In
Careless Wind dancing around the tips of Trees
Moonlight flung  over the Beach
A white sheet in a Dark Night
Dawn Breaking in an Orange Sky
It sets Me Free.

ना आर ना पार

अब की बार तो मैं ऐसा टूटा
की टूटता ही चला गया
जुड़ने की बहुत कोशिश की
पर पूरा ना हो सका
अन्दर ही अन्दर
गहराइयों में
गिरता ही चला गया
अब इस अंधरे से कैसे निकलूँ
तू ही मुझे बता
अो मेरे साथी
तू ही मुझे पार लगा

Dark side of the Moon

Amber Moon
Slowly rising from the Horizon
A Gentle Ball of Fire
Reminds of the nights we spent together
Out by the campfire
Warm Breaths
And Cool Skies
Your Touch could melt
The Dark side of the Moon

Morning

Pure Sunshine in the morning
Reminds me of you
Soft warmth
The glow
All that you are to me.
I am out walking
Surrounded by your presence

Love is an emotion
A state of being
A gentle feeling
The taste of it in my mouth
Leaves no place for harshness

You Shine

You are
A river  flowing
Through a sleepy City
The light of Dawn
Stirs you up
Caresses every corner
Lifting the shadows of darkness
Every curve glistens
You shine
My love

Glorious Love

My Love for You knows no Bounds
It only knows You
It Transcends all Barriers
Pain or Pleasure
Rewards or Punishment
Are not what I look for.
With You in my Heart
I go on
You shall always be with me
In this Life and Beyond

Bring it On

Been Waiting
All these Endless Summer Nights
For You to Bring it On
Spread Your Love All around Me
To count the Stars
With You in my Arms
Your Heart beat
And the Sound of Waves.
Heaven on Earth
I want it Now.

Summer Time

Summer Time
I Miss You Scotland
The setting Sun
Brightened my Life
Immovable Mountains
Flowed into my Heart
I Sit down and close my eyes
And feel the salty breeze
Blowing in
It is quiet
And peaceful
I know that I will come back to You
For all the careless moments I spent
Kicking up dirt
With not a worry in the world.

That Moment

I am not lost
I am trying to find my way
The straight and narrow path.
I know that You are there
And I will solve this puzzle
One way or the other
I will reach Freedom
And into your open Arms
I am not giving up
Just taking a break
Waiting for that Moment.
That Light to Guide me
Eternal Lovers
We shall be Together Forever

Plain Old Dirt

A Narrow Road
A Long and Curving Road
I walk this Path Everyday
On the Edge of the Precipice
Kicking Up Dirt
Brown Horizons
Misty Destinations
Its been a Grind
In Search of that Elusive Rainbow
And what if You are not There
To Welcome Me
When I do find It
Will This be all Worth It.

Our Nirvana

Just a Small Town Man

Caught up in a Big City

Been to every corner

Not a sign of The Life

I came Looking For

You know one of these days

I am going to ask You

If we really knew why

We gave up everything we had

And came up here to find our Nirvana

Warm Feelings

A Warm feeling comes over me
Every now and then
I could be sitting outside
Waiting for the Sun to set
The Sky to turn Orange and Hues of Red
For Birds to fly home
And then suddenly
I will remember the twinkle in Your Eyes
The smile that lights my Heart.
You know my Darling
You will never grow Old for me
You will always be as Beautiful.

Justified

It is all Justified in the End
Whether to Love or Hate
The Pursuit of Pain or Pleasure
Lost in God
Or Dancing with the Devil
All You have to do is to
Concoct some Theory in Your Head
Give Yourself all the Reasons
For Why You did
What You did
The Circumstances that life brings
I have seen Angels turn to dust
And swept away into Oblivion.

Dreams are Free

Now There You go again
Trying to Sell me Your Dreams.
Don't You know that Dreams are Free
I am what I am
I Dream of Heaven and Bliss
Even in Pain and Suffering
Why would I pay a Price for Dreaming?
Last night I dreamt of an Angel in White
Resplendent in her Gentle Beauty
A warm Touching Smile
I am still basking in that Feeling.

Just for You

Don't let these everyday things
Unsettle You so Much
You have always said
There is more to Life
Always stood by me
In Thick and Thin.
Then why do I get this Feeling
That sometimes in the very deep corners of Your Mind
You Yourself are Cornered
Break Free from All
I need You To.

Free at Last

Life Ebbs and Life Flows
Somewhere in between it Stops
For a while.
And when it does
That is when we Look for answers
Groping in the Darkness
For Light
Answers that we never find
And yet we do Try
Exhausted and Broken Down
We give up
That is how it is and will Always be
Death sets the Departed Soul Free
Leaving Mortals Behind.

Perfect Spring

The Blue of Your Top
Blends with the Sky
And the Scarf around your Neck
Reminds of the Warm Spring Breeze
Starting to Blow
This Spring is going to Be
The Perfect One
For You and Me
Just Say Yes
And I will be there

Mending Fences

What You see is not everything
I agree that I wanted You
More than I wanted myself
 I overlooked
All your predicaments
and all that You are.
Like a Child
I wanted to Cling to You
All my frustrations
To be wiped away
But that was not to be
I hurt You
You felt Used
And here I am
Trying to mend
What I broke

Your Smile

Brilliant Sunshine
Is Washing everything anew
Snow has Melted
Life is Sprouting
Birds are Busy Again
I sit in the backyard
Among all this
I Picture you
Smiling .

Life

Trickle by Trickle
Love Oozes from Your Eyes
And Only I see It
I who sees Your Emotions
In Every move You make
The Joy or the Pain
That is what Your Life is a mix of
Up and Down
A See Saw of Emotions
Tears and Laughter.

My Only Comfort

It was a Bomb
That exploded inside of me
leaving me to pick up
All the pieces
Of my Heart
I could see Your Image
Scattered all around me
Amongst everything else
That I have Loved.
It took me a while
To collect all the Pieces
Put them Together
And make a Whole New You
That Shine in Your Eyes
The Smile
All  Perfect
In this Imperfect World
My Only Comfort

Anxiety

Speeding down Winding Roads
Not knowing what I will crash into
Or make it out alive
I have had enough caffeine
I don't want to doze off
At a precarious turn
I have been preparing for this
All my Life
Now that the time has come
Why are My Hands so Sweaty
The Steering Wheel Slips.
With Trembling Arms
I wrest Control Again.

The Way It Is

Trickle of Tears

Is not enough to

Wash it all away 

If you have to do it

Then Cry out a River

The Depth of Your Heart

Is where all Truth Resides

Let it come out

It will still Hurt

But now Everybody will know

Why It Is

The Way It Is

Valentine

Red is the Color of Valentine
The same Red
That flows through our hearts
And runs through our veins.
Do You feel my heart beating for You
Even after all these years
This Red
Somewhat Mellowed
But still there.
A thousand roses can't say
What my Love can
You have to believe in it
I am there for You
This Valentine's Day
And will be for all of them to come.

Far Away

I came so Close to Perfection
I came so close
I could smell it and feel it
And then I fell
Down into this Abyss
While everybody around me
Stood and watched
I could hear them All
Laughing and Dancing
Living life to the fullest
While I clung
Fighting for my own survival
And that is where I am now
I can see You
far away in the distance

You should take it Easy

No sense in crying over spilt milk
Let the Dog come and lick it
Wipe the place clean
Start all over again
Life is an unfinished painting
Work in progress
Oil on Canvas
Everybody leaves impressions
Then You apply the finishing touches
But it never Ends
Milk spills again
You take a deep breath and go on
Psychotherapy or not
One day You will realize
The Dreams You chase
Are a Mirage
And that is what makes it so Painful

My Angel

The Sun Shines so bright
On Pristine Snow
Warm rays Streaming through
Glass windows.
I could sit and watch this for ever
Invariably my thoughts turn to You
A white Angel
Glistening in the Daylight
Walking

Words

Words can Wound
They don't make you bleed
But do leave this hole in the heart
So how do You go about filling it
if You really do care about the person
It is not easy
You can forget Your ego
or put Yourself in the other person's shoes
Try to understand
Or try to forget
But when You are alone
And memories come knocking
You have no choice
But to Endure.

Pure You

Then I look at You
And suddenly all my struggles
seem so trivial.
I thought I went through
Baptism by Fire
But You, you really did
In your own quiet way.
Is that what makes you so pure
That I am afraid to touch You
Lest I spoil the sanctity

Death Wish

It isn't that I want to live forever
But every moment that I do
I want to feel your presence
Your love, Your soft voice
Your Warm Arms around me
And let me drink the elixir of Life
From Your Lips
and then I will close my Eyes
And go to sleep in your arms
Never to be woken again without You 

Peace

After a weary day
I sit down to write and look outside the window for inspiration.
It is snowing heavily now.
Fluffs of cotton that were gently gliding down
Are possessed by the wind
Blowing them Helter Skelter
I am looking for Harmony
A Path to Peace
Not in the stormy Ocean
Not in the Scathing Desert
Not in Thunder and Pouring Rain
It has to be in Me somewhere
