Silence Sheathed in the Cape of Love

(c) Shilpa Sandesh

The toughest philosophy,
That the chaotic self has gathered,
Is the philosophy of Silence,
Silence, I have known,
Strides alongside a soul's sounds,
Soul,
That is an islet,
Surrounded by a unique sea,
Waves that kill my calm,
With noises like a thousand trumpets,
Sometimes lending solace,
Matching the rhythm with my heart's pace ;

Love,
Why do I always talk about love?
Because,
That is what pulled me,
Out of the outrageous dungeons of glum,
Because,
That keeps me sane,
Sane to know what it is to cry,
To smile,
To feel anguished,
To know the missing,
To swim into the immeasurable depths,
All this, in love ;

Silence in love is delightfully sweet,
But,
It is tumultuous too,
Perplexing isn't it?
My Silence, my beloved
Holds a zillion messages,
Which only you may fathom,
Complaining is too trivial,
So here's my dual being,
When the soul might be trembling to weap,
But eyes reflect the tranquillity,
Dearest,
All this, because,
My Silence comes sheathed,
In the cape of love....

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.
