You are still here

You are still here
Patient and understanding
Waiting, watching, wondering

Smiling and supporting
Willing her to go on

You are still here

I can feel you sometimes
When we are together
In her voice, in the way she turns her head
In the way she sighs with exasperation
When I am being silly
You are still here
Aren't you?

Up Up and Away

Its time to break free, its time for me to move on
I left a loved city behind and my friends... but I held on to you, for support, for a semblance of familiarity. The wrong reasons some may say... but for me, they were the only reasons. Yeaah, the only and the best reasons, to hold on
I loved you. I love you still.
But I have to go
Not because I am over you
No, thats not it ... you understand, but to test in this world all you have taught me
To find my moorings without your support
To get out of this complacent existence
To live ... on my own

Together

They walked together,
Hand in hand,
Discussing and arguing,
Deeply involved in each other.

They were siblings… in a sense
They were lovers… in a way
Tricking a vagrant wayfarer here
Smiling at a sweet damsel there.

Strolling on irregular roads,
They turned to their left and right,
Anger burrowed her brow,
As he increased pace

She ordered him to stop,
He came up with a quick retort,
This is the end she thought,
This is the beginning he reasoned.

Enough said the master,
Enough of fights,
I need both of you… together,
Alone, you are useless.

They stopped to listen
Comprehension dawned,
They were not lovers
And certainly not siblings…
They were the thoughts
Of a brighter mind,
A higher being.

Thought bubbles bursting forth...

I wish to sleep now
Curled up at your feet
Listening to the wind blowing
Dreaming about a lifetime together
Soaking in your attention
Aspiring for the stars
Drinking from the streams
The kind clouds bestow

I wish to sleep now
By your side
Sharing a smile
Basking in your warmth
Feeling your breathe on my hair
Planning for our tomorrow
Walking through the memories
That we shall create

I wish to sleep now
For an eternity
To close my eyes
Without a worry furrowing my brow
Smoothing my features
As I flit in and out of dreams
A white soothing blanket on
Finding peace at last...
