burnt by the ashes of time...!

she still sees her reflection
inside your eyes...
its searching for all answers
its searching for some life...

as she lags behind in your shadows
she tries to move on
she staggers to proceed forward
but the past keeps intruding in her dawns

she lingers with all the memories
they drift her away
they get rid of all her worries...
they save her from going astray

and as the days go by...
all she does is lie...
for all the tears she cried...
for all that happened
...once upon a time...

she hopes for redemption
she keeps watching for the stars
she is surrounded by pretensions
she keeps plunging in the dark

confused within her own existence,
she forgets where she belongs...
all she recalls
is the blooming rose,
but she doesnt remember
its thorns...!

              ...she curls up uncomfortably in her warm yet cold bed, and her head desperately reaches to rest on her knees...as she dives,deeper in the blanket...she still finds it impossible to hide herself away...she wants to submerge herself even more in the unfathomable darkness...the inexhaustible misery keeps pulling her downwards...and the swim through the vortex of her shallow yet boundless dreams seems unending. she thinks over and over about what had happened, but she is unable to grasp the foundation...unable to blame...unable to face...unable to choose...unable to succumb...yet unable to die... was it her?...was it him?...or was it just God...? she desperately waits, for a signal, a sign, a voice, a way... she could have shifted to the dryer side of the pillow, but she stays on the damp part. she is in love with her desolation, its the only thing that's left of him.  as the damp pillow becomes more sodden...

redeemed by a dream

...As I bent down to give the finishing touches to the backdrop we were preparing for the school carnival,  I saw you from the corner of my eye...you were walking away with your head bent down...and my heart wrenched as it longed to get some warmth which could only be obtained by your loves radiation. but it seemed unattainable, we had kept fighting vainly for days...and the tunnel of dejection seemed endless...it kept stretching on callously and mercilessly...without letting even a ray of hope pass through it. Deep in my heart, I had forgiven you for whatever you did...and deeper in my heart, I knew that, you had forgiven me too...but God knows what was stopping us, God knows why we had suddenly become the same poles of different magnets.  I knew that I didn't have much time left, it was now or never, because after an hour from then, you were going to leave town for a week or so...and I knew that such distance would make our hearts colder towards each other, they w...

... what i still remember ...was the day i woke up trembling in my sleep...tears pouring out of my eyes...and i remember everything, everything that felt so cold...but suddenly i had felt...my mothers hand come up on my back...patting me gently...leaving gentle trails of her sweet sleep, for me to swallow...! you know what that taught me...it taught me to sacrifice ...!:] ... what i still remember ...is the story behind those pen marks on my door...they each have been marked a bit above the other...to measure each mm i had grown every year...! my grand daddy used to tell me...to aim to be as tall as the door...but somehow...inspite of the years that have gone by...i am still 2 feet shorter then it...but you know what that taught me?...it taught me to ALWAYs aim high...and never to loose hope because even if i don't reach the moon..i will still get to land among the stars ...:] ... what i still remember ...was the day i thought my friends would not turn up for my birt...
