LIT THE CANDLES

Somehow lit the candles

Prolong darkness

May be shattered the

Beauty of life, in the graph

Bliss and grief goes

Parallel, keep some axis

A point to touch

My heart with a charming

Smile, I’m silent but

Emotions desire to erupt

In the edge of your

Eyes, dreams are sleeping

Don’t let them soggy

It’s not possible

That whole the sky would be

Under your feet, life

Has not always the straight

Path, up down, light and

Shadows are the part

Of survival, please

Try to feel my concern,

With intense trust, I called you

Just raise the hands

The blooming planet waiting

For you, the life’s puzzle

Has no exit, available

Moments are tiny bubbles

Who knows the mood

Of sky, now it’s blank

Adopt the cipher in search

Of completeness, love me

Now, forget the tomorrow.

THE OASIS

On that line of vision

Deep rain clouds are emotive

To lash the green terrain

Heart desires to love

You, as a dried

Earth wants to fill the

Millions cavities, I would be

There to absorb all

The thunderous wet emotion

At least you try to

Outburst as a monsoon rain

I’m leafless tree only

Look toward the

Brownish sky, to get a breath

You please attempt to be

A cool wind, let my

Dream to be alive, my life

Wants to include you

As hidden flow, beneath the

Hills go through

On the tempting vast chest

Your signature s space

Is blank since origin

Of planet, you write poetry

With flaming lips, I’m

Waiting for striking autograph

On the heart, soul

Your eyes have several oases

I’m exhausted traveler

Let me relax for a moment

In shadow of your eyelashes

Give me a place in your heart
