you never came

I sleep in night and suddenly scream
I sweat and frightened of the nightmares I see.
That moment I wish you come,
take my sweaty head into your lap
And dab my forehead slowly, and
Put your thin index finger on my lips,
To quell my sobbing.

I wish you come,
And lie beside me and
Caress my hair and 
Lull me, and sing me to sleep.

But my wishes never came true and
The portion of bed remains empty,
I keep screaming for endless nights.
I keep waking up in the middle of nights,
Full of sweat and a fear deep in my heart.

I get through that pain everyday
Which cut opened my wound,
And I dithered with pain.
Still I am alone in my apartment,
Waiting for you.

empty road

I sit down at window 
On a chair.
And I look on the road,
The road is empty as my heart,
It's devoid of any traveller, not a soul.
I see nothing but still I keep eye on it,
For my heart says may you come back.
I look on the road and I see
Gusty winds put up dust
From the sides of the road and circle along,
It makes your figure, a silhouette of dust,
And flows along, towards my window
Like you are coming towards me,
In the form of vortex.
But then I flick my head and
Everything thing vanishes
The wind, you, and the vortex.
I start looking again on the empty street,
A vista through the trees in the sideways,
I look with hope that you'll return.
But deep in my heart I know you never will
Because I know you never did it in the years
So long back that my mind is unapt of counting.
However, I keep this hope in my heart,
And keep imagining you coming on that empty road,
In one form or another,
For it brings me peace and a little time 
To live what we've lived before
When we were together.

in the night

Days are tough but I pass them anyhow
But nights are unbearable,
'cause nights comes with the agony
Of your parting.
And the images of you with me
Ran in my mind and deepen the wound
Of separated love.
Though I sleep after so many tries
Then comes the nightmare which
Hounds me till I woke, soaked
In sweat and scream like
Someone has speared my sore heart.
All the night I stay awake and
I ask questions to the walls of the room
And to me 
Why did you left?
No one answers neither the walls nor me 
Maybe we both don't know,
Or you forbid us to know.
One day
You vanished like you never existed
like you never lied beside me in this bed
And I stood their
Waiting and waiting and waiting
But you never came
But these sleepless night did
And now here I am,
Weeping and depluming my hair
At the mid night.
Hoping your stone heart will melt
And someday you'll come back.

and I love you

I walk the road and I miss you
By my side, and the sound,
Of you slippers, whenever
You lie your steps one by one.
And I miss the accidental touch
Of your hand into mine
While walking. And I miss
The talks which we do all the way,
And I miss the inhaling and exhaling
Of your breath when
You try to walk faster than me,
And I miss your fake angry face 
When I catch you without any efforts.
And I miss you by my side,
When I walk the road now,
Now that I am alone.

If I stand up and walk

So, what if I stand up and walk right now, What's stopping me? Am I a chained gladiator bound to fight and suffer, And be a means of amu...
