Wistful Memories

 Wistful Memories













All alone under the moonlit sky,

You and I. 


Dancing along with the palm trees,

Forged memories. 


As the gentle waves brought us closer,

Together.


I thought we were meant to be forever,

Alas! Fate had other plans- yet

Remember my love, for I’ll ne’er forget…

You and I forged memories together.

In English they say…

  In English they say… In English they say… I can’t stop thinking of you. But in poetry… I can hear your soft voice in the twilight hours, Carried by the cool, evening breeze, That soothing voice I sought solace in, Even in my darkest of times. Every time I close my eyes, I can see your charming face always smiling, With that forever twinkle in your chocolate-brown eyes, That lifts the corners of my mouth into a small smile. I can still feel your gentle hands, Which enveloped me in a warm embrace, And made me forget the world around. Every moment, awake or asleep, My mind is filled with thoughts of you.

Bewitching Love

  Bewitching Love In an elegant dress, you look so fine, my dear, Your soft skin glows with a perfect shine, my dear. Your pretty eyes have never failed to leave me mesmerized, Your beauty’s so pure and pristine, my dear. I can melt in your tender gaze, all day, all night, Your dulcet words are like an elixir, so divine, my dear. You’re like a goddess, so enchanting, Every moment, for you, I pine, my dear. My thoughts revolve around you, only you, Your love’s intoxicating like sweet, red wine, my dear. Please hear my fervent pleas, Oh, Gayathri ! You can forever be mine, my dear. *** This poem is written in the form of a ghazal. It consists of five couplets about love, sadness, and rebellion of a lover who disbelieves anything, even religion, pain, and passion. The ghazal contains a rhyme or repeated refrain. The first couplet contains the rhyme or repeated refrain at the end of both lines. For every stanza after, however, the refrain is only repeated at the end of the second line....

Melancholic Melodies

 Melancholic Melodies We used to dance for hours, Under the twinkling stars, On the wild meadows, Just you and me. My hands in yours, Our steps were in sync, Just like our heartbeats, Always beating as one. A rendezvous every night, When the sun disappeared, I’d wish for it to never return, So that I could dance with you forever.  That full moon night In the midst of summer, I waited awhile, And then searched for you. Worried was I, What had happened to my love? I ran across the meadows, And then I found you. You were dancing with another, Laughing and smiling, As I just stood there, My world swirling down. Were all those promises Nothing but a lie? How had I failed to see  Beyond those charming eyes? Alas! My wish had come true, But in the cruelest of ways, I was now all alone,  In a world without light. ***
