As i let you go

The curtains fall, the lights grow dim,
as the artists take a bow,
a sudden flash takes me back in the past,
As I let you go.

In the sea of memories, i try to swim,
as the thoughts begin to flow,
the tidal wave around me crashes,
As I let you go.

No deed too great, no word too small,
you made me sink so low,
the thought of it now makes me cringe,
As I let you go.

A new sun shines, the days are glad,
and life is all aglow,
And all at once there is peace,
As i let you go.

Melting Moments - 2

I cant sing like Roy Orbison ,

It's not that i didn't give it a try ,

And as much as say , i can be your Hero,

Like Enrique i just can't cry.



A hundred excuses i search for daily ,

And all of them go waste ,

And though i try to take this lightly,

The thought of you don't let me think straight.



A thousand songs last night I heard ,

So i couldn't sleep a wink ,

This lack of my ability to express my self ,

Is driving me over the brink.



A thousand words , a million lines ,

Flow incessantly in my mind ,

And every time i remember your smile ,

Not even one of those anymore can i find.



Countless moments must have passed ,

Since the moment i saw you first ,

Since then all i can do is think about you ,

To that fate i am Cursed.



I'm not much of a poet ,

I can't seem to make this poem fine,

Which is why i end this attempt here ,

And present to you these lines.

Melting Moments

She stood at the door and watched him go, his figure rapidly diminishing in the deepening twilight. Slowly as his form disappeared into the settling darkness, her sight grew blurred and a small tear rolled slowly down her cheek. A few steps across the hall took her to the window where she could still see him walk away, away from her life. With a heavy heart her eyes followed his progress down the road, as she settled down to wait, her mind willing her to stop him, to run after him, beg and plead even and ask him to give back all that was now gone. She shook her head in an attempt to clear her thoughts, willing her mind to mute out the pain that seared through her, chilling her heart. As the seconds lengthened into minutes, she stared out into the darkness, her mind whirling down memory lane.

His brown eyes were the first thing she ever noticed, and then the crazy grin on his face. The lips that were turned upwards in a gentle smile and the soft voice that made everything seem so magical!! Love at first sight? Hardly. A karmic Connection? Maybe! And then the conversation that followed. She did not remember much of it, but she did remember that she had laughed a lot. Probably a lot more than she remembered ever laughing in the recent past. How his mannerism had charmed her and made her go weak in her knees. And his scent! The first date at Bascillico with the fantastic Blueberry cheesecake and then the long walk across Pali Hill down to the sea shore. The evening he asked her out, under the stars while driving down Marine Drive. The Daily messaging and the first kiss. She had loved him against both ,her better judgment and that of all her friends. But that had hardly mattered. He was madly in love with her. Or so she thought.

Then the exams started, the late night calls gave way to night cramming sessions and long drives were replaced by the numerous study hours in the Library. His touch felt cold and distant now and his interest seemed to have waned. She had become a lot more aware of how his returning calls had lessened, and his reply to her messages had trickled down to bare minimum. And then how one fine day her friend had seen him at the Local Club, getting Intimate with someone else.

She had willed it away, those thoughts to focus on her exams, unsuccessfully. Every time she thought of him, she felt wild, angry hurt and in pain. After the last paper she had called him. And he had not replied. Her Calls met with a busy tone. Till the next day he called back. She invited him over. He came.

With a flurry of emotions and a thousand random thoughts in her head she had opened the door for him. A painfully lingering thought, banished as he abruptly swept her off her feet, and carried her inside. All doubts forgotten she had responded, as like the old, feeling him around her. But then right in the midst of it, as she felt him against her, all the thoughts returned in a crescendo. Pushing him away she had confronted him in a horse voice, willing all of it to be untrue, hoping that he would refute all the allegations, prove all of them wrong. Waiting for it to happen, pinning all her hopes on her dreams and happiness to return. It never happened. A few seconds and it was over, His loose shirt hung around him as he pulled in back on, haunted with the same smell that had smelt so pleasant just a few minutes back. And then he walked out of the door, without as much as backward glance to the eyes following his progress into the twilight.

In a quick motion she got up and hit the shower. Maybe drowning herself under the warm shower would take away the cold that she seemed to be drowning in.
