i love you

i haven't too many

left, to give nor to promise

i've used up dreams

now all expired

from yesteryears

some before, others, during

the many turns i took

i've used up all my rhymes

the strings of my guitar

may no longer hum

strummed pain of the past

has kept them

for a bit too long

mistaking void for solace

thinking silence means peace

come you now

in dazzling calm

and i wish i had some to offer

to match your charm

but all i have are three words

you may have

read so many times

only these three words

to say, in whisper i will

so the wind wont hear

that they may not be touched

and be blown

away from us

i pray them..stay

i hope you will

feel and know how much

giving them i leave myself nothing

still, i wish

tell me

are they enough?

leaving in peace..

allow me to be near

your breath that bathes

my parched soul, then

let me whisper

tenderly my joys

of standing near

an inch away from your dreams

i hold no pouch of gold

my hands tremble

remembering

the longing never quenched

a hunger left un-noshed

allow me to dream

without fear

i'll be taking yours

at your feet i shall lay

my cloak

drenched in yesterday's

tears

though never shall i let you

know

my life is yours

survived in meager truths

as i watched feast

cream whipped lies topped

of glitters known

let me rest

in your arms, my feeble soul

hold me

if only for this last hour

sing me your song, let me

hear my last

whimper of joy

before i go..

mine and hers

i heard the little bird

whisper her love

for the clouds that held her

wings spread in dreams

going past her skies

but she too loved the stars

those that lit her night

when her clouds got blown

by wind, away from her

those stars shone their light

and now she cries

she wants the clouds back

but cant let go

afraid so of the dark

letting the stars still

shine for her

i heard her cry

she wants her clouds back

she prays for the wind

to blow her way

hoping, reaching for them

the clouds that once held her

and now i cry

for her tears that pierced

my forming clouds

should her prayers be heard

and the wind blows

as she wishes

mine will disappear

leaving me

rains and dreams

that no star shall shine on

one day soon

one of us will stop

crying

again..i love you

i wish i can say the words

without fear

that one day i will

lose you, or maybe you will

lose me

i wish can say the words

without tears

of pain remembered

from a past, distant, but here

lingered

i wish i can say the words

without feeling so much

happiness i've never known

so strange that it almost hurts

just for me and for me

just

i wish i can say the words

and not scare you away

of strings that tie, and kills

freedom that you so desire

much

i wish i can say the words

and leave..not to wait for an answer

instead leaving you my silence

let my words echo in the walls of your thoughts

...i love you...

may you hear me

once

say

i love you

i

the soul that searched

amidst dreams and illusions

finding fate

failing reasons

losing

love

eternally pledged

in vows of pride

held high in pedestals of mortals

that gods enticed, in mock

spits blood...

drenched, and on leash

one fights, struggles

until he finds

you

the breeze that stings, painful, yes

but cleansed the smog

bleak past re-drawn, as we watch

the sky reinvents itself

in hues as true

i never knew

soil and ashes

it is when i dont speak that i want you to listen

words fail sometimes at what a heart feels

i'd rather be silent and let you just watch

how in me you created a world i'd want to last

it is when the night shall set free the dusk

let light pour in seeps and trickle till it floods

not to blind of brightness and to drown of warmth

but in slow, light nudging strokes of hope i bask

it is when the day shall come to another end

pages turned, lost, some even burnt

leaves fell to be one, anew, of soil and ashes

finding peace in knowing some day...

one day..we shall be too

one with them...of fragments that lived

of debris that remained...one again

but not alone no more...with them...with you

of them and us....soil and ashes
