When you fly away...

I wish when u fly away,
You fly away
From my dreams too -
The lovely Eden of hope.

Or I shall be doomed forever
To drink from the creek
Where you washed your hair
And eat from the tree
Whose fruits u would eat half and leave.
And adore the flowers
Whose kin adorned you -
Red on white, yellow in black
The deity of summer and of spring.


And when you fly away,
Fly away with my shackles,
Thoughts that have bound me to you...
And your memories be like broken bits
Of some half remembered dream.
Like the sound of a waterfall
like the smell of a rose
and a half painted rainbow.

The girl who always smiled

Whenever I saw her -
I saw her smile
and I thought,
just like that,
She always smiled.

I, more human,
went through the grind
that life had on offer.
I laughed, I cried.
I writhed in the agony of love.
I did this, I did that.
I  jumped from one emotion
to another, in no time.
But all this while,
whenever I saw her,
serene as ever,
she always smiled.
