FORGETTING YOU !
(This poem has been selected as a semi-finalist in International
Open Poetry Contest of year 2000 held in USA)

IT'S BETTER TO FORGET YOU NOW,
UNLUCKILY .. I DON'T KNOW HOW.

I SHALL FORGET YOUR EVERYTHING,
THAT EVEN MEMORIES CAN BRING.

'LL NOT DESIRE TO MEET YOU AGAIN,
NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT CAUSES PAIN.

'LL I SUCCEED IN FORGETTING YOU?
IN BUILDING A WORLD PURELY NEW?

CERTAINLY I'D COMPLETELY FAIL,
MY LIFE'S BOAT 'D NEVER SAIL.

I'LL CONTACT YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN,
SHALL EVEN ACCEPT EVERY BARGAIN.

BUT YOU'LL NEVER EVER RETURN,
YOUR LIFE MAY HAD TAKEN A TURN.

THEN THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD SEE,
WHERE FOR EVER THEN MEET WE.

I'LL CARRY YOUR IMMORTAL LOVE,
TO THE WORLD THAT'S JUST ABOVE.

WITHOUT YOU.....

Without you.......
Pains all through.

Life ...... a trouble,
With sorrows double.

Every hour ........
A lofty tower.

Every charm........
Without being warm.

Every morn.........
Completely torn.

Nothing true.......
Just .. without you!

IT'S TOO DIFFICULT TO DECIDE!

It's too difficult to decide,
To keep loving or put her aside.

It's not easy to make my mind,
To remember the past or leave it behind.

Today she is very very far,
How painful the distances are!

I don't know what to do?
I'm not having her address too.

My love is deepening day by day,
"You are mad" the people say.

They can't understand a lover's plight,
When his beloved is out of sight.

SOMETIMES IT SO HAPPENS .....

Sometimes it so happens......,
a pure stranger enters our life,
..and becomes more ours than ourselves,
...nearer than the nearest ones,
and dearer than the dearest ones.
She becomes the reason of our smiles,
and the reality behind our existence.

Then it so happens..........,
Our life becomes the reason of our end.
That dearest someone leaves us alone,
and stops watering the plant she had sown.
We want her back,
....but she gets out of sight.
She, the reason behind smiles,
becomes the reality behind tears.

We turn to be a useless burden,
lying on our own shoulders to drag.
Now the imagination comes to an end,
and the bitter reality begins.
We lead to the world,
where miseries never end!

LOST LOVE !

Someone waiting with brows so wet,
Gleam of his eyes hasn't returned yet.

Gazing desperately at the deserted door,
Where he finds his darling no more.

No wind around whispering to tell,
That his sweetheart is perfectly well.

The woes ever soaring day by day,
Shortening his life the beloved's delay.

Lilies bloomed there when she was here,
The gloom now inhabits everywhere.

The tracks they walked on hand in hand,
Deserted is now that fairy land.

Paths of life 've turned too steep,
With ditches of sorrow so much deep.

True was the love,the promises strong,
Intricate to understand what went wrong.

Where had started the expectations' fall,
How were forgotten unforgettable moments all.

Absence of hers has turned him pale,
But firm determination can never fail.

Wait he'll with spirits quite high,
Open is the door,hope'll never die.

*******************************

A BITTER REALITY !

She has gone,she has left,
Leaving me like a cleft.

Standing lonely in the crowd,
No one hears,'m crying aloud.

No friend, no foe,
She has left no clue.

Burning days,cold nights,
Autumn teases,spring bites.

Life never was so useless,
So troublesome,beyond guess.

That's how the dream ends,
Toward disaster the life bends.

This is what the love is,
Fool's paradise,a faithless Miss!

****************************
THE WOES OF LOVE !

While thinking of her day and night,
Continued inside me is intense fight.

How much I found,What I've lost,
For love have I paid a huge cost.

The reward in turn that I've got,
Solitude and pains filling my cot.

Everlasting are the beloved's gifts,
The woes of love, heaven never lifts.

Every time when I get sunk in her,
Such worries visit as never were.

But I've no grievance over it,
Having repentence not even a bit.

A precious wealth is her sorrow,
That only fortunate ones can borrow.

She'll be remembered again and again,
Till death's tunnel swallows life's train.


********************

WE ARE GETTING FAR AWAY !

We are getting far away,
Promises turning into hay.

I would never blame you,
It is not my fault too.

It's inserted in our fate,
Although distances we hate.

've you imagined coming days.
A vast sea .... and no bays.

'd we separately survive for long?
In ruinous winds and tides strong.

It may be possible for you,
But such a sin I can't do.

What does the somber life mean?
If removed your love's scene.

Those moments God may not bring,
Without you if my breaths sing.
