Capture
You’re like a song
Like a deep seated melody...
A warm sun in springtime
That refuses to go to sleep
The love we share is
Like a gentle summer breeze...
Fluid, uncomplicated and effortless
Tranquil, calm, gentle and serene
Somedays it is passionately red
On others a hopeful sage green...
Delicately balanced is this affection
Sinful yet more meaningful than any have been
Your hair like a raven’s wing
Your eyes filled with melancholy
You’ve captured me with no
Hopes of ever being free
You are bound to me like
A creeper entwined to a tree,
You are the air I breathe —
A captive in your captivity

Subtle
It was several decades ago
Since he was last here
Even now he felt the same nervousness
And anxiety filled with latent fear
This was where she lived
He hadn’t seen her in a very long time
His palms were all sweaty
His throat slowly filled with bile
The town reminded him of her
Her subtle presence was everywhere
In the rustle of the autumn leaves
Even in the beguiling scent of the air
Now that he was to meet her
He was both edgy and elated
He approached her wooden gate and thought
To be together they’d always been fated
The door opened when he rang the bell
It was strangely silent outside
When he asked for her, he was told
It had been two days since she died
Not sure if it was the chill in the wind
Or the one inside his broken heart
Instead of her, he was shown her grave
Forever she had depart
He sat by her grave and wept
Tears of love, longing and pain
He had remained unwed all these years
For him there wouldn’t be another ever again

Old school travel
This is just another ordinary day
Where I’m glad to still be alive
Now that I’m headed back to you
To keep my hopes up I’ll strive
The journey has been long and tedious
Often helpless I have felt
I’m elated that soon I will be with you
Small feel the storms that I’ve dealt
Sore limbs and broken spirits
Frequently left me disheartened
Making me question if I wanted to turn back
Forcibly keeping my instincts sharpened
Although this voyage has brought me
Riches and fame beyond compare
It means nothing to me
Since to share it you aren’t there
Look to the sky, see the shinning stars
We are one beneath the raven sky
This difficult journey is almost done
Our chance to meet is nigh

Invisible
He sat looking longingly at her
From the corner of his eyes
He watched intently as she laughed
And smiled when she smiled
She shook her head and her long hair
Sooty black like the ebony night
She sat with her friends and talked
Unknown of being in his sights
Animatedly she moved her hands
Obviously excited to be there
Her pale blue dress clung to her as
She sat listening to others, of him unaware
He kept staring at her continually
Like he had since they were kids
He kept wanting to go speak to her
But always decided his time he’d bid
As she got up to leave she glanced around
Ignoring him completely
There is nothing worse in the world he thought
Than seemingly wearing a cloak of invisibility
He’d spent years trying to gather the courage as he
Watched her go through one relationship after another
Little did she realise he thought to himself
She would be incomplete until they found each other

Incessant
The night is still young and maybe tonight
You’ll find your way back home
I await your arrival with bated breath
Heartbroken over being left all alone
People have gathered nearby
To celebrate, party and cheer
You unfortunately are no where to be found
The house without you seems deserted here
I watch the glow from the street lamps
Light up the raven night
I wait patiently with high hopes that you will
Be with me today before the morning light
I often wonder if I should question you
About your evening excursions everyday
I fear coming off as needy and clingy
Unsure of what exactly to say
Your evening strolls that extend late into the night
Have caused me to become bitter and forlorn
Does it ever occur to you that I might feel
Like a shoe discarded after being torn ?
Yet I calmly bid my time and hope
That today you come to your senses
The time in the hourglass is quickly running out
And I’m tired of keeping up pretences.

Wave
You come to me when the tide is high
When the foamy waves rush to kiss
The sandy shores
And like the moon pulls the surge
Of water
I get drawn to you , gravitate towards
You even more
You are to me what the Aurora is
To the midnight sky
Uniquely bright , alighting the
Raven heavens above
You fill my heart with an intense
Feeling - one of anticipation,
Of restitution and of love
Like the parched earth finds comfort
When soaked thoroughly by
A downpour
I find solace in your arms like
The fireplace in harsh white winters
Warms the soul ,expelling all wounds
New and old
I like the way we are together—
Entwined like an ivy creeping
Up a wall
Drenched in the showers of adoration
We stand getting soaked
In the rainfall

Ephemeral
Raking through the dying embers
Through the still awake
Silent red coals
I find myself thinking of how we went
From being us to being completely
Separate souls
No one ever can ever know the nuances
Of what goes on between
Two people
It is still a wonder to me how we went
From being strong together to
Being so feeble
Were we always meant to be out of rhythm
Or did we do this deliberately
To ourselves ?
How did we go from being a love story
To a dusty book kept on
A dusty shelf ?
Are today what we were always
Destined and forever
Meant to be
Apart and moving at different tempos
Forever from each other
Free
Don’t Rake through the embers
The dying red hot coals and
Fading memories
We are ephemeral and our connection was as dark and ominous as
Emery.

Saudade
You occupy all my thoughts
All day and all night until
I forcibly push you out leaving
My mind and soul unfulfilled.
I feel sick with longing and confusion,
The space between us feels
Torturous to me.
The way we are together
Is so complex —
As simple as a thread,
Yet as complicated as a knot.
Sometimes I think it is
Easier to pretend that
Our lives were much
Simpler before we happened.
Do I cast aside the thoughts
That plague my mind ?
I twitch, twist and turn awake
Weathering the unbearable wait
And hoping that you go through
At least a part of this saudade .

Ubuntu
For
Every time you caught me when I fell
Every moment you stood firmly by my side
Every second you put things together
Every instance you made right
Every dream that you nurtured
Every fault you casually brushed aside
Every occasion you saved me from disaster
Every bad situation you again made bright
Every setting you carefully predicted
Every crunch set right when my hands were tied
Every shred of strength you provided
Every twinkle in my eye
Every hour you spent worrying about me
Every thoroughly examined but forgotten lie
Every naughty and silly behaviour forgiven
Every achievement spoken of with pride
Every rough surface that you smoothened
Every secret I was able to in you confide
Every breath that is a blessing from you
Every tear you helped dry
Mamma..... I am, because you are .

Elixir
Your gentle, calming energy
I want to be near every single day
The way you always shield me
Keep all the troubles at bay
Those almost perfect almond eyes
That at me always stare
Tugging at my heart strings
Leaving my soul to you bare
Your sweet words are an elixir
Filled with love, affection and care
You brighten up the room
By simply being there
You are not only the one I love
To me you mean so much more
You lend a sympathetic ear
Guide my ship to the shore
A part of my everyday you are
Although you’re so very far away
I’ll wait for the day we’ll be together again
Till then safely in my heart you’ll stay

Bound
Build me a bridge
From your prolonged silences
To my inaudible questions
Build me a road
From your tiresome absences
To my constant waiting
Build me an overpass
From your placid anger
To my quiet patience
Build me an extension
From your wearisome melancholy
To my cheerful person
Build me a dam
To store your affections
Enough to last me a lifetime
Build me a bond
To tie your loose ends
To my never ending love for you

Lullaby
Can you see the starry sky
Filled with billions of little
Lights , lit just for us tonight?
Do you feel the chill in the air—
So that you can hold me close
Hold me tight .
As the wind plays softly
With your hair I wonder.....
If I say the words I’ve been
Meaning to tonight, would you
Consider it a complete blunder.
The gentle swish and swoop
Acts like a lullaby , makes me
Want to cuddle up to you....
I hope this is a start
To something brilliant
And brand new —
We’ve only known each
Other a little while I know,
But I’d do anything just
For you to let me be
Your beau.
Contrary to the steady beat
Of your heart , my own
Is filled with anxiety and
Flutters every time I think
Of my vault into the unknown.
I hope you’re there to catch
Me as I leap onto the other side
Because no longer do
I feel the need to,
From you my feelings hide ....
I wonder why people akin
Love to a disease ....
Because if this is love every
Moment I’d like to seize
To tell you how much I adore,
Respect and admire you too
How much I like your little
Quirks, how much
I love you

Love
Hidden in the depths of my soul
I feel you
When everything becomes silent
I hear you
Every time I get abandoned by others
I seek you
Frightened , scared and trembling
I need you
When the darkness threatens to swallow me whole
I’m guided by you
When I get lost in the abyss
I’m enlightened by you
When ominous thoughts course through my brain
I’m saved by you
Every time I feel myself suffocating
I’m comforted by you
You are the voice in my head
You are hand that shields me
You are the light in my eyes
You are my protector
You are my mysterious saviour
You are the essence of my soul
You are the love of my life
You are my shadow

Starlight
In the darkness of my heart
Devoid of any light
There wasn’t a ray of hope
Only a long drawn night
I was lost in that darkness
Adrift in a sea of gloom
Everyday I moved a little towards
My inevitable doom
You came into my life
Like a ray of light
In the destitution you were
A ray of hope bright
The moon you planted to shine
And brighten up the dark
Everyday you found ways to enliven
My heart with your stars
A stairway from yours to mine
You persisted even when I waned
You were the shelter for me
Every time it rained
With the stars you put up to lighten
The dark corners of my heart
No longer are there any desolate nights
No longer am I pulled apart
I was plagued by solitude that would have
Previously caused me to push you away
I hope you know what you mean to me today
And that with me you forever stay

Linger
I see you in misty mornings
In the murky waters of the pond
I hear you in the tumbling waterfall
In the distant chirping from the beyond
I feel you in words I put down in ink
In the gentle zephyr’s soft caress
I smell you in the bed of roses
In the petrichor all around in the ness
Stay with me like a song that lingers
Like the foam stays with the stormy seas
Stay with me and whisper words of love
Like the dewdrops that linger on leaves

Precious
Entwined like a creeper is to a tree
Entrusted like a pearl is to the sea
Unafraid like an eagle is to be free
Untamed like a storm is in a quay
Inspired like a poet is on a writing spree
I love you with a love that more than love to me

Eyes
Her eyes are a portal
To other planes and dimensions
Her eyes are a gateway
To the entirety of her beautiful soul
Her eyes are a vivid blue
Like the depths of the ocean
Her eyes are crystal clear
Like the spotless blue sky
Her eyes are filled with sadness
A rare sorrowful calm
Her eyes are filled with brightness
A green shoot of hope
Her eyes burn with an intensity
Of blazing fires that won't be put out
Her eyes are a mirror of truth
Of reflections of a better me

Zinda
Tumhaare bina zindagi se kya
Shikwe karein hum
Zinda hoke bhi , bin tumhaare
Zinda na rahe hum
Zindagi ke har mod pe
Tumko he doondhte rahe hum
Gam ko chupaye phirte rahe
Ki kabhi kuch to kahoge tum
Har saans lagti thi ek karz
Jo kabhi bhi kisi ko lautani pade
Chale the soch ke ki tum miloge kahin
Par reh gaye khade he khade
Ittifak hai ki aaj mulaakaat
Huee hai tumse arson ke baadh
Nah zindagi se hai shikaayat, na shikwe
Jo aaj tumne liya hai thaam haanth
Tum jo keh do to aaj ki raat
Chaand doobega nahi
Raat ko aaj daman mein apne
Chupake rakh lo kahin
Darne ki zaroorat aaj kahan
Door hain sabse aaj hum kahin
Raat ki baat hai, aur zindagi
Baaki he nahi
@pallavi4
The song I chose for this challenge - Tere bina zindagi se koi - by Lata Mangeshkar and Kishor Kumar. Needless to say it is my favourite Lata song. I’ve tried to maintain the heart and soul of this iconic song. I pray I haven’t botched it up.
The lines I chose from the song are:
“Tum jo keh do toh aaj ki raat chaand doobega nahi” and
“ Raat ki baat hai, aur zindagi baaki toh nahi”

Galaxies
Thousands of sparkling city lights tonight
Look like galaxies of glimmering stars
They shine bright and unwavering
Twinkling in the night sky from afar
In the darkness of my heart you came
Like an Aurora- the shinning northern lights
Banishing the gloomy twilight you became
An illumination in the somber night
A thing of beauty, a thing to behold
Your love like a shooting star is rare
And you the nebula- visible from far away
Uniquely bright, a celestial being fair
Under this blanketed night sky I want to be
Nowhere but beside you my love
Hold my hand and look to the stars for they
Shine for us tonight from above

Petrichor
I won’t deny that it had been a while
Since the last time my deserted heart
Was blessed with some rain
Shattered and discarded in the past,
It had lain in a dormant state
Feeling neither love nor pain
In your patient loving hands
This deserted heart, with chartreuse
Rich and green once again became
Instead of arid winds, a rich petrichor
Arose from the now moist grounds -
The will to love again it gained
Gone are the days when I would
Sit crying , fogging up the glass
Of the window pane
Never do I ever want to go back to
Those parched lands where I thought
It would never rain again
