When I am With You....

(c) Shilpa Sandesh


I am,
Like a free falling bird,
From the peak of a mountain,
Or a dew drop,
That smoothly slips down,
From the surface of a leaf,
I am so,
When I am with you;

 I am,
The fieriest of the fiery flames,
The most efflorescent of the blooming flowers,
The strongest of the tornadoes,
I am so,
When I am with you;

 I am,
Like a mermaid,
That sings solitary,
In the vast open seas,
Awaiting her seeker,
To bring her agonized soul at ease,
I am so,
When I am not with you;

 I am,
Like a fish,
Left by the fate,
Out of the water,
A fish that flips hither thither,
I vain, so as to be able to breathe,
Like a phoenix,
Which spends its life,
In search of you, futile,
Then burns into the ashes,
To be reborn,
And search again,
I am so,
When I am not with you;

 So let me not be,
That flower,
Whose petals one plucks,
One by one,
To find being loved or not,
My love,
Let me not be,
In the moments without you....

The Feet in Blood !

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Her gaze is set, At the wide spread ahead, Lights glimmer, Racing motors on the road, And noises undefined, From far away; But no landscape can collate, With the bruised patches, in her heart; No motors are at par, With the speed of her hastening thoughts, And no clangor as loud, As the shrieks of her caged soul; Blaming is like, Plucking the petals,  of a blossoming flower, To take the blames, Is like being pushed, To walk bare foot on thorns; It's a puzzle, it's a jumble, Her inner self is, Disarrayed, cluttered,  It's a muddle; Those moments are no more, When she was, Besotting to his eyes; When her tears made his eyes wet, When seeing her in pain, His heart ached; She is a reflection, Of the fate's rebound, In the broken mirror; She walks, On the scattered glasses, And Oh! My feet are in blood!

A Puppet

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Born a free soul, With wings to fly, Bound she stands, Entwined in compromises Tethered are her hands with the strings of liabilities, Muddled are her steps, in the lashes of limits and boundaries; She loved once , with all her heart, The tenderness and fondness, that's doomed today; She smiles when she's sad, And cries when happy; The tiny wonder, Is her sole sustenance, All that she has won, as the fruit of love; An emotional fool, And destiny's blunder, She calls herself, The hell's wonder; She craves for that warmth, that unconditional love, A whim for those vows, a desire for that embrace, And, In the hands of time, A puppet she is, In the fate's haze!

My Brave Knight

(c) Shilpa Sandesh Handsome and pleasing, Like some prince, In a lore, A striking sight, He's my brave knight; Sanguine and certain, Commanding and sturdy, furious yet calm, Like the glistening sun, And the stars so bright, He's my brave knight; A warm embrace, A gentle heart, Resolute and steadfast, Aiming the dart, With a scrupulous sight, He's my brave knight; Audacious and fearless, Valiant in the stormy winds, And the winter's chill, The searing sun, Or the rainy nights, He dauntlessly steps forth, Heroic he is, He's my brave knight.
