I don't even know what songs would please you,
I have given up trying

To recognize you in the surging wave of the next moment
Justifying your fading image occurring in mind

Reliving unsuspected turns in the path
which snatched away my senses leaving me blind

Those powerful forces that were once
Pulsating with the life in my veins
All rise within me to mean and shout aloud

"You who forever eluded me (and yet shouting again in next breath)
You who are the sky I have ever gazed at longingly"

Shivering Cold morning
An open window and I almost stepped out,
Pensive, to meet you.

Streets that you and I chanced upon and
walked down them together and then vanished.

And sometimes the mirror is still dizzy with your presence
Coldly startled I turn around to find myself alone

But who knows?
Perhaps the same bird echoed through both of us
Yesterday, separate, in the evening...

Again Blissful monotony is pervading
Anointing the wounds sustained by time

I am absentmindedly shrugging my head
Musing and smiling to myself
I am getting back to my insipid life

Muttering
I am alive….
I am alive…
