Sweet Rapture

I cross fields to reach the sweet orchard, with boundaries so soft and supple. Whilst your gaze follows me, I slide down the hill and head for the mountains. Climbing the mountains, on the peak, I suck the sweetest nectaries. Thirst quenched, desires high, I roll down the mountains towards the plateau. You watch my journey from a distance. You are ecstatic. And then, I reach the cliff. You think you reached a crescendo. You are wrong. Greased with your love I slip down into the valley ahead. It rains ethereal rapture. I’m drenched and overwhelmed. You reach your crescendo now. Two volcanoes erupt. We both are in heaven.

Paint Me Your Colours

[Shoubhik:]

It’s hard to say why

But with you I fell in love

And ever since

I don’t know what I’ve become

My life, it felt so pallid

Doesn’t seem so anymore,

Coz you painted the missing colours,

You filled the void you touched the core…

 

[Pre Chorus]

My life’s been a white canvas,

Empty and bare

You are the colour,

Come paint me there…

 

[Chorus]

Paint me as a song

And I’d sing it to you

Paint me as a flower

And I’d blossom your way through

Paint me as a smile

And I’d let u cry never

Paint me as your love

And I’d love you forever

 

[Pankhuri:]

Its hard to say when

You became more than a friend

You became my breath

Oh angel, my godsend

I wasn’t searching for love,

Nor was I hoping for more

But you painted the missing colours

You filled the void, touched the core…

 

[Pre chorus]

My life’s been a white canvas

Empty and bare

You are the colour

Come paint me there…

 

[Chorus]

Paint me as a song

And I’d sing it to you

Paint me as a flower

And I’d blossom your way thru

Paint me as a smile

And I’d let u cry never

Paint me as your love

And I’d love you forever

 

[Pankhuri:]

Paint me blue

I’ll take away all your sorrows,

I’ll b your clear skies

For brighter tomorrows..

 

[Shoubhik:]

Paint me red,

And I’ll take you higher

Fill your heart with passion,

Give you all that you desire..

 

[Bridge]

Paint me as a song

And I’d sing it to you

Paint me as a flower

And I’d blossom your way thru

Paint me as a smile

And I’d let you cry never

Paint me as your love

And I’d love you forever

 

[Chorus]

Paint me as a song

And I’d sing it to you

Paint me as your eyes

And I’d never fail to guide u

Paint me as the wind

And I’d let u fly high

Paint me as the sun

And I’d bring u sunshine

 

[Outro]

Its hard to say why

[come paint me your colours]

But with you I fell n love…

[come paint me your colours…]

Figments of Imagination

Memories in my head

Like pictures on the wall

A painting so beautiful

A scene by a waterfall

The morning sun is shining

Birds singing in the sky

Every drop of water

Like figments in my mind

 

I see you standing there

Just below a tree

Your feet touching the cool grass

They cry in ecstasy

You are caressing a squirrel

That just fell from the tree

And I’m standing looking at you

From a distant memory

 

Memories in my head

Like letters on a scroll

A story so beautiful

With you in the lead role

A kingdom so beautiful

You being the queen

Every subject in you kingdom

Like figments in my dream

 

You rule over your kingdom

A kingdom of happiness and love

Everyone looks so peaceful

Like a happy turtle dove

You are sitting on the throne

And you look at me

As I’m standing and watching you

From a distant memory

Nostlagia

Standing out I watch the sky

I watch the time as it passes me by

Days go by and I’m thinking of you

All those years you had helped me through

When I did some mistake you had scolded me

When I made it right you showered your love on me

When I was happy you smiled with me

When I was sad you cried with me

And now that you are so far away

Inside my heart you’ll stay

You’ve made me strong

You are my sweetheart MOM

 

Where have those days gone now?

When you taught me the things I didn’t know how

You told me stories of house that were haunted

You bought me the toys that I wanted

You scolded me when I won’t study

But after the exams we used to party

All the times we’d laughed together

All the times we’d cried together

But now that you are so far away

Inside my heart you’ll stay

You’ve always made me glad

You are my sweetheart DAD

 

And far away from home

Without you I feel so alone

Now I’m missing you both

NOSTALGIA is what’s filling me through…

Lost Without Your Love

Thinking of how I ever let you go

Thinking of how I can fall so low

Everything that you meant to me

How can I forget it so easily?

Now I truly regret

Everything that I’d said

 

Now baby won’t you forgive me

I’m lost; I’m lost without your love

And don’t be so harsh on me

I’m falling, now I’m falling from above

 

Days had been so beautiful

And nights had been so warm

Life without you is unthinkable

But how came in this storm

 

Now baby won’t you forgive me

I’m lost; I’m lost without your love

And don’t be so harsh on me

I’m falling, now I’m falling from above

 

And now honey lemme tell you the things I’d done

Were things that were not meant to be done?

But now I beg you please

I’ve fallen down on my knees

Honey I’m sorry

Oh won’t you concede…

 

Now I’m lost, I’m lost without your love

And darling don’t be so harsh on me

I’m falling, now I’m falling from above

 

Now baby won’t you forgive me

I’m lost; I’m lost without your love

And don’t be so harsh on me

I’m falling, now I’m falling from above

Guiding Star

I see a glitter in your eyes

Why is it so watery?

Have you been crying baby

Crying at your destiny

You seem so lost

Like you don’t know where you are

Give me a hand darling

I’ll be your guiding star

 

Guiding star

Wherever you are

I’ll be there for you

Show you the path to choose

Just have faith in me

Together we will see

The beauty of our love

Sent from heaven above

 

You never lemme know

What you are feeling inside

But I love you so much honey

Now I want you by my side

Though you are lost in your poignant thoughts

I’ll heal your scars

So take my hand now baby

Lemme be your guiding star

 

Guiding star

Wherever you are

I’ll be there for you

Show you the path to choose

Just have faith in me

Together we will see

The beauty of our love

Sent from heaven above

Independence Day or Interdependence Day?

Happy Independence day to all my Indian patriots.. 🙂 A day to cherish the freedom we fought for, and we got! But this day has always left me wondering — what is freedom? What is India? Who are Indians? What is patriotism? And many more… most of them unanswered or, well, debatable…:) I’ll share some of my thoughts here on this auspicious day.. 😀 15th August 1947!! Learn it!! Memorize it!! INDEPENDENCE DAY!! Believe me, I still at times get confused between Independence Day and Republic Day (26th January)!! And don’t give me a weird look! I promise you there are many who do, mostly as kids though, but still they do.. 😛 It’s not like what’s 2+2, and u blurt 4!.. “15th august!” and you say, “Happy Rep..amm.. Independence.. Day?”.. Lol .. 😀 Jokes apart, it’s a very important day! 🙂 Many gave up their lives in making India free.. From?? Well, it’s taught British Rule.. So the Imperial Rule was over, and India was declared free! Now, as children we are also taught in history all sorts of things the British rulers used to do. Now when you do that, it does have deleterious effects. To quote and example, there are still people who despise the English language and label us traitors.. They urge us to use Hindi (National Language) instead of that! There was a time I despised them too. Not as an extremist though. But, then, soon, I found a pattern!! I found some dots! And I wonder what connects these dots!! The dots are as follows:

• Indian subcontinent was a part of Africa, which drifted and collided with Asia, forming Himalayas;
• Just south of the collision there was a civilization around the confluence of the Indus river system almost 5000 years ago (3300 BC- 1300 BC), known as the Indus Valley Civilization.
• Around 1500 BC Indo-Aryan migration to India from the Central Asia.
• Mughal invasion and subsequent Mughal Empire in India from 1526 to 1757
• East India Company Rule in India (1757 – 1857)
• British Raj (1858 – 1947)
• Happy Independence Day (1947)

It looked to me the fertile plains of India has been fought for over the centuries!! So whose is India? What connects these dots? Dravidians, that is what the original people in India were known as, and now consists of what’s known as South India. History says during Aryan invasion, the Dravidians were pushed to the south (update: i heard there’s a controversy in this too). So the North Indians mainly consisted of Aryans, while the “original Indians” became South Indians.. It’s said Dravidians were pushed as far as Sri Lanka! And to present day, South Indians don’t have much of a liking for North Indian.. Call it hate, but they don’t speak Hindi, and might hate you if you spoke in Hindi to them! They prefer English to Hindi!! 😮 So much for the National Language! Aryans divided and ruled.. I don’t even remember the number of dynasties! Lol! There was a Mauryan, a Gupta, etc., etc.. And the predominant religion at that time was Hinduism.. Thanks to Gautama Buddha, there started Buddhism, although I don’t think he wanted idol worship! Soon after Mughal invasion, Muslim became a predominant religion. And thanks to Aurangzeb, the great (being sarcastic in every sense of the word), he forced conversion of Hindus to Muslim!! No wonder Hindus hated Muslims!! And then came British!! And they were hated as well.. Few more dots:

• South Indians (Dravidians) hate North Indians(Hindus), because they were pushed down;

• Hindus (North Indians) hate Muslims (Mughal), because of Aurangzeb the great perhaps;
• Hindus hate English (British), because of the heart warming British Rule;
• Muslims hate Hindus (if I hate you and do bad things to you, you’ll hate me too).

So much for Love!!! And I wondered what connected all the dots! And if you have been patiently reading through all this humbug, tell me, whose India is it? Why should I or you hate or have a grudge for any religion, language or country? I call to all Indians.. Tell me.. Who are you? Dravidian? Aryan? Hindu? Muslim? English? If you don’t know, let’s see.. According to me, Dravidians should have darker skin like South Indians or Sri Lankans.. Aryans had fairer skin, as they came down from Central Asia. Aryans (fair skin) push Dravidians (dark skin) south.. Muslim (fair skin) invade Aryan (now perhaps semi dark! Lol) and take control! British (fair skin) invade and push Indians (darker skin).. So to me, basically it’s the fight for India’s rich soil and wealth between dark skins and fair skins.. And the fair skins ruled until they became dark skinned, and if they failed to become dark skinned (like British), they were overthrown!! Lol!! Sounds funny!!?? But that’s the bottom line!! Religion comes next! Of course, if I am fair skinned, and larger (because I came down from a temperate climate), and I am stronger than you, who is smaller and dark skinned (because from a Tropical or Equatorial climate), my religion is “obviously” better than yours! Laugh on that!

Independence Day is good, but are we actually free? We can never be free!! It’s a delusion.. Everybody will be dependent on each other! I liked the idea of Interdependence Day spread by the Zeitgeist Members.. 🙂 I acknowledge the things the leaders have done for India to give India it’s long deserved freedom from Imperial rule. But, India still has a long way to go before it’s actually free.. And not just India! The whole world… One world, one country! Peace and Love! No boundaries. Just Harmony! 🙂

Kiss Me Again…

Tender sweetness so soft and delicate, wish i could taste ’em again… Kiss me again…

Her silky hands around my neck, her soft lips more intoxicating than the most exotic of wines.. She smells of sweetness that i can’t define… Kiss me again…

Underneath the pale moon, waltzing to a melodious tune, our bodies embraced in passionate love, i feel her warm sweet breath on me… Kiss me again…

Our colourless eyes lost within their depths… Our hearts beneath our breasts goin’ wild.. We dance through the night… Kiss me again…

Standing in the rain with her, her wet lips parted longing for me.. I make a move, she lets me in.. Kiss me again…

Lyin’ on the sand, cool breeze caressin’ our skin.. She feels shy, underneath the velvety sky.. We feel the love in the air.. Kiss me again….

Cold sweat runs down my spine as she holds me close to her again.. A feeling of lust.. Soft and tender.. I close my eyes intoxicated by her smell.. Overpowered, i lay bare to her gentle caress.. She kissed me again….

You and My Love For You

When I look up at the sky
I see you staring at me
Every time I close my eyes
I can feel you within me
Never knew I loved you so much
Never knew what you meant to me
But now I don’t want to lose you
Honey just listen to me
Now I’m down on my knees…

When I look into the mirror
What I see is only you
Every time I’m in dolor
Your smile comes to rescue
Never have…
