The twinkling star in the faraway sky  Bright in the night. Was hazy to the sight Tinkled the hearts.  The rains cooled the earth.  Couldn’t quench the desire. Left parched For a thousand years.  Little buds of yearning Was swept away by the gale. Yet the longing haunts To hold To caress.

False Hope The moon beams in the sky Tell me that it has been to where you are.  The wind whispers your name to me. The autumn leaves roll and announce your arrival. Yet I’m not convinced That you will come Once again to soothe my tormented soul;  To kiss away the cascade of tears that roll down.  A missed Beat.  The khol on my eyes won't smudge.  The pleats of my sari won't be out of place. My bangles will make the clinking noise that you so admire.  Even the bindi on my forehead will shine in the sun.  Only my heart will but miss one beat Because you are not there.  It wont matter to the world No it won't. Nothing is indispensable  At least not anymore But my heart will miss a beat thinking of the space that was once yours!  Illusion  Day emerges out of night Night out of day Summer wades into monsoon Autumn departs as harvest announces its arrival. The dry leaves swished away by the wind White reeds swayed in the breeze.  Anxious eyes
