Eagle Eyes

Standing at attention,
His eyes scanning the area
Like an eagle looking for a prey,
His gaze slowly
Rests on the two lovers,
Stealing soft kisses…

“About my age”
The soldier thinks,
Drifting in his mind to his own lover,
To the last time he stole a kiss…

Since then
A lot has happened,
His father died,
Mother got sick,
He left for Vanni,
She got married…

Standing at attention
scanning the area again
his eagle like eyes
water’s with tears.

The Picture

27 years ago,
She was only a piece
of a bigger picture.
Year by year,
The pieces added on,
The picture got completed

27 years
The picture complete
for one brief moment.

Then the wind blew,
Taking with it
The pieces
over the mountains
across the seas,
over unknown lands…
to far far away places.

The picture is no more,
It remains
an incomplete piece of
a bigger picture
again.

His silence

I miss his voice,
Miss his random replies,
His one word answers,
His monosyllable responses,
His random noises,
his nods,
his gazes,
his shrugs
his eye brow raises,

most of all,
I miss his silence.

Forever No More

Forever No More

Diamonds are forever
he said,
when he gave
the Christmas gift.

I'm there always
he said,
This is just a reminder
he said,
putting the necklace around my neck.

That was an year ago,
I tell myself,
Remembering that
Diamonds are gone,
along with him,

Nothing is for ever
Not even
His Love.

I must Forget

I must Forget

The soft kisses,
The tender touches,
The Loving words,

I must forget.

The evenings in the beach,
The midnight walks,
The candle lit dinners,

I must forget.

The first look ,
The first touch,
The first kiss,

I must forget,
I must forget,
I must forget,

but...

No More.

No More.

I cry No more,
Tears are dry,
Smiling
I face the world.

inside
I cringe
Struggling to cope,
Smile
focus
I tell myself ,

Yet one tear
forms at the edge...
roles down slowly...

But I cry No more.

Returned to Sender With Love

Returned to Sender
With Love

she returned the gifts,
the ear rings
the necklace
and the ring
with all the loving memories,

she returned the gifts,
the symbols of love
which once they were;
Are now
painful reminders
of a love lost,
Love not returned.

Returned all his gifts,
given with the promise
Forever and ever more,

Returned to the sender
with All Her Love

I do not deserve

you were so loving,
you were so tender,
you were so soft,
thought I did not deserve.

you started snapping,
you started yelling,
you started hurting,
thought I deserved better.

i wanted tenderness, you snapped,
I wanted softness, you yelled,
I wanted love, you hurt,
I did not deserve? I deserve better?
I do not know
any more...

He was ...

He was ...

Caring
loving
Different
Thats what he was,
Or so she thought.

Insensitive,
Closed,
Stubborn,
Deceiving,
Stone Hearted,
That's what He Is,
What he really Is,
She realized,
A bit too late,
when he walked away
with her heart
bleeding
in his hands.

Waiting

Waiting

she didn't blink,
didn't turn,
sit or
walk away,

she didn't
sigh or
complain,

She waited,
and waited.

With each sunrise, till the sun went down,
With each sunset, till the stars shone,
with each full moon, till the darkness engulfed,
She waited,
and waited.

Darkness came and went,
The Sun rose and set,
pictures faded
but
she waited,
and waited

for him
to come home
to nest

little did she know
he had already
found
his nest.

Gender

She is...

She is,
what she looks,
what she wears,
what she cooks,
who she marries,
She is
a
woman.

She is
never
what she feels,
what she thinks,
what she wants to be,

she
cannot
be
a
woman
