BUT IT RAINED

I thought I had forgotten,
But it all came back again
To-night with the first spring thunder
In a rush of rain.

I remembered a darkened doorway
Where we stood while the storm swept by,
Thunder gripping the earth
And lightning scrawled on the sky.

The passing motor buses swayed,
For the street was a river of rain,
Lashed into little golden waves
In the lamp light's stain.

With the wild spring rain and thunder
My heart was wild and gay;
Your eyes said more to me that night
Than your lips would ever say. . . .

I thought I had forgotten,
But it all came back again
To-night with the first spring thunder
In a rush of rain.

ALAS..!!ONEIRIC

Depressions in the east
Returning Monsoons,
Another autumn dishevelled in the rains.

Yet a splash of red avers on the patch-
of gloomy sky
i'm alloted from my little window ply

I see a speck of vermillion, naked eyes forbear
I'm sure I still see it there
Every hint of vermillion,
two birds soaring in that sky,
the conifers holding up the sky,
remind me, remind me of you

Three rainy autumns back,
on a golden day between the rains
a destined day in october,
an uneventful normal day
You happened to me

The way we met across a glance
what else in life they call a chance
Then the days of holy engagements
all truly vague arrangements

Alone alone I'm all alone
nowadays I live alone
Crumbled and crushed I lay awake
across the dust of mine self I've broke

Call me from your pain
across these sounds of rain
Colour my opening eyes
with vermillion-
from between your brows
kiss me and never leave

CONTEMPORARY WORLD

The song,the tune,the mellow moods of whiskey blues
Pale moon in the midnight sky with hapless thoughts
Lost youth in doped hope

Swinging maturity early deaths
Welcome to the new age
Where love get sold under the piles of money
Here masks are known behind the unknown faces
The time where feelings are stabbed my distrust and greed

Little girls turn into prostitutes selling their virginity
Deviant riches buy them for free
Caring,sharing,love or promises are alienated words
No one stops,no one stares
At the bench where lonesome couples in a solitary park

Plastic made smiles,pacemaker replaced hearts
C'mon join the run they invited

I stayed aloof,staying calm smiled at the hopeless hunting
Of money,power,success of the new age Netizens...!!!

YOU AND I

Was this meant for you and me or just us??
Endless nights with those silly fights with sudden smiles

I remember when you used to think people will change
for me it was you who can never alter

The world was there for you trying to embrace you with its rainbow colors
While you were the world to me

You were happy as you watched the crowd to cheer
I smiled 'coz you gave them the reason to share joy

No words,no promises,no more tears
Our silence spoke thousand words while we stared at each other fathomless in vacuity of time
I was alive since you were only there

One sudden strike I opened my eyes
And found "Us" to be asunder
You were gone in a morning rush of glittering necropolis of city heights...!!!
