An ode to love

Having grown up on classic English fiction and love of yore. And of course the legendary Mills and Boons, I am a die hard romantic at heart. 

Legendary Knight in the shining armour emerges and sweeps the damsel off the floor. The mush rules and love conquers. Perfect. And live happily ever after. That is the cosmic cliche' connection.

The prince charming who kisses the enchanted sleeping beauty and she comes out of the spell and ever after follows.

From as long as I can remember we are taught to dream a perfect dream and learn we do to believe in them.

Then one fine day reality dawns and grossly detached from our innate understanding of what and how it ought to be. 

But love as they say, does exist. Happily ever after may not.

Love happens once, they say. You fall in love more than once,  I say. 

Dream never dies and hope remains alive. On that note, an ode to love.

Cheers!

Letter to the most loved

Dear 'S'

To start with I have moved on. But have I really?

You still remain the one I loved most intensely and honestly. I still remember January 11 when you said "What if 'we' get married?" My reponse may have been not so conencted with the question but yes deep down it was the happiest moment of my life.

You left to take up a job in another city and over the months that followed our relationship traveled more 'downs' with your emerging doubts and more 'ups' with my gut to hold on and make things work. Time for me froze in those words you spoke and my dreams started weaving you and me together happily ever after.

I was willing to put all at stake all that I held on with my life - myself and all that made 'me'. Even started looking for options to move to the city with you. But apparently all of it was not enough to move you.

For the first time ever, I was willing and ready to give you the reins of my life. I let go of the guards that defined me. All my armours fell. Yes you made me feel like a woman. 

The 'boyish charm' of you swept me off my feet and staccato moments started becoming linear memories.

Your playing guitar on the phone sometimes your eagerness to sing your favorite numbers and also some on demand for hours together made my heart go out to you. Yes I was willing to nurture that child in you and more.

The first time we met did not seem like the first at all. There was something that decided the pace something I could not decipher.

Imagined you as the man in my life and it brought alive the dream and desire to have you around all my life as mine.

You were not here but you presence was vividly etched in all of me and my life. I was weaving a dream.

It was a beautiful dream only if you were dreaming the same with me we would have made it a living reality.

I am happy for you and your new life with another someone. 

Love you still the same. Love doesn't change but gets buried and rusts with time when sudden flashes turn it green and alive in the dream unlived.

Love always.

Yours

Here and Now

Without a story of the past, who are you in the timeless present? Without a projection of an imagined future, who are you now?

What are you waiting for?

A whisper of the wind
takes me by awe

The expanse I experience
sitting by the sea

The dark sky aloft
tells me a story unknown

Life seems small
and spaces galore

A splash of dreams
of all I am
in a world I call my own

Surreal waxes real
life becomes life

I want to walk along the unknown
in a world of dreams

greens of life
laden with lush

mirth of life amidst
angst of existence

rivers of sorrow merging in
seas of happiness

i want to live like-i want to break loose
i want to lose myselfin the quest for life
Words lost in oblivion...
A fleeting glance...
Quivering lips.
Touch that -
speaks a million words.
A writhing pain...
ah....how I want it to last forever-
A nameless desire within.
All I need...
All I need is freedom..
A desperate need to escape...
An escape from all that is familiar...
All that is known...

To carve out life afresh...
with hopes...A life that knows no pain....

No one knows whether its a fleeting charm...
or dust that's piled a layer on my heart...

Waiting to be unravelled...
I wait for life....
This is all that I need................
