Destination Unknown

Destination unknown
A feathered cap
A weathered coat
A pair of spirited shoes
Tell the tale of my look.
My eyes are stained
My glasses crude.
A happy tune
Upon my mouth
I am walking down
That bending road
The "t" post gestures
A hearty salute
A sultry breeze
Flutter about

Who walks ahead
Who walk ahead
My mind repeats
What meets the eyes
Distant footfalls
Beckon me on-
Walk fast
Oh! jolly go walker
Catch up fast!!!

Markings on a Drenched Leaf

An ancient tale written across a little leaf

Settled for a few moments,

Waiting for the stream to move it further,

Carrying away the unfinished tale...

Her Anklets Whisper

Her anklets whisper
To the nearby grass blades,

The reclining sun
Will come again
The day might be
Drawing close
The evening 
Might soothe
Her soul
But she is waiting
For the new day
To come 
To hold her close
To tell her
"Your anklets
Told me,
You were here
Waiting..."

Wondering...

Wondering...

Will there be a day?

When I will

Let you blindfold me,

Then hold my hand,

And take me

Away,

Far away...

With my eyes closed

I might fall,

Get lost

In the jostling crowd about.

But you will be around.

holding my stand,

Leading the path.

Letting me only hear.

I might struggle

I might get frightened...

Yet, you will

Never let go of me.

Patiently explain...

There is nothing to fear.

Nothing to feel threatened of.

Lead me out of the mayhem.

Lead me "not to the stars."

But to a place quiet.

Where I can breathe.

I will feel

The sea breeze.

Feel the waves...

Touching my feet.

Feel the soft evening

Over my face.

And slowly slip away.

Into a comforting slumber.

Wondering...

Will there be

Ever

Such a day?

The Tale of Footprints

Footprints

Left on the wake

Of dawn...

These were not washed

The waves have not erased

Their presence.

Wondering

Where the owner

Went....

Walk with me

Walk with me

Till the raindrops

Touch our feet.

Walk with me

Till my silence

feel your words.

Walk with me

Till the roads 

overlap.

Walk with me

Till I 

Forget those 

Painful moments.

Walk with me

For I need you

By my side.

While I stand

Facing the ocean

While I watch 

The sun 

Closing the day

While I wait 

For the night.

To steal me away...

Walk with me...

Recall

The more I recall
The more it pains
The gushing winds
The falling leaves
The parting soul
The visible darkness
The lovely shadow
Still remains...
Words would never fill the gap
Tears would never call him back
Sighs would moan the moments-
Perhaps, lost in the ocean of love.
