Detached Attachment

Shalimar

I was waiting
For you
And you didn’t show up
while my odes started to burn …
A heartache …

After a while,
There a humble person came along ..
Seemed so at the moment …
I asked him to take a picture of me and
There I sat at the corner of a bench
In the garden …
Took some time to
Get my mood toned
Up my unsettled face …
There the man waited patiently …
A gentleman ….

Once it’s all set yet unsteady
As I was,
I heard the man said, ‘Ready?’
Twinkled at him and said, ‘Yes’
Smiling …
With the chilly breeze that was
Passing through
I preferred my warm
Jacket kept aside
And my heavy heart smile
For the warmth I needed ….
A harmony ….

Later on I welcomed a friendly
Conversation with the stranger
He seemed to like all of it …
My chitter-chattering
And laughter flowed freely, naturally …
Then we started walking
In the garden, blooming all around
An attachment ….

The balance was the two umbrellas
For each of us,
His violet, mine yellow one
We were walking and talking
Keeping the in-between distance mindfully yet our heart-felt notions were quietly replaying …
The undefined mysteries of the world, meanwhile …
Letting love in our heart, unknowingly …
After a while, we faded into our different paths
Just two strangers with memories
A detachment ….

Tell me, what is that one odd yet beautiful encounter you experienced in your lifetime?

Alas!

If you were with me

I wouldn’t have to search for you.

If you were with me

I wouldn’t have to wait for you.

If I wouldn’t be there

Will you search for me like this!

If I wouldn’t be there

Will you wait for me too?

Not sure and

I can not say

We are much alike or not ….

But at least you could’ve given me a yellow flower

Just because I love yellow,

Or perhaps a yellow covered notebook

Where I may write gibberish which you wouldn’t approve ….

But you could’ve given me at least ….

If you were with me!

Probably we will not meet in this life.

So there is no chance. Alas!

There is nothing I can do to ease a heartache like this

If only you were with me

I wouldn’t have to feel such heartaches!

Diamond is Forever

You shine, then I shine through you

That you are
a diamond
is true; cause
you sparkle
so

I sparkle;
just as a dew on
a petal; you shine
then i shine
through
you;

You twinkle
thereon I twinkle
like a beautiful star
cause a diamond
is forever.
its true.

Cause you are
my diamond
and I love u and
its forever
too.

Ecstasy

At night

I slept well …

I saw you in my dream!

That’s surreal

This moment of joy is gifted by God ….

#roksanatales

Perplexed

If only you knew ….

You’re always in my thoughts!

I do not know what tomorrow will bring …

For now,

I m too scared to get my heart broken!

All About Nothing

all about nothing of now and past

all about nothing of here and there

all about nothing of seen and unseen

all about nothing of history and reality

all about nothing of dreaded and fogged

all about nothing of known and unknown

all about nothing of secret and sacredness

all about nothing of emptiness and  fullness

 all about nothing of ever striving and falling

all about nothing of knowledge and learning

all about nothing of good and bad happened

all about nothing of dizziness and discomfort

all about nothing of river and its far silver lining

all about nothing of acceptance and approval

all about nothing of love, beautiful, shyness and romanticism

all about nothing of here, passing and there, flowing

all about nothing of this visible sky and darkest night

all about nothing of precious seeds to grow and serve

all about nothing of continuous queries and answering

all about nothing of sunset and its shimmering soft rise

all about nothing of  the serenity, joy of heart and soul 

all about nothing of emotions buried and not instilled inside

all about nothing of dreaming, flying, shining and shimmering

all about nothing of fresh new leaves and wild cherry blossoms

all about nothing of bare naked exposure of self and of all being

all about nothing of intention, expectation, destination and intuition

 all about nothing of the mist of the day break and of the light shining on

all about nothing of sounds, spoken softly, loudly, with passion and anger

all about nothing of envies, jealousies, forgiveness, selfishness, and fears

all about nothing of the secrets whispering through the rhythm of the wind and the joy within~

all about nothing of opening hearts and minds headed in the magnificent magic of colors around

all about nothing of music of the breeze, windmill, piano, and hidden in paintings

all about nothing of gems, precious gold, silver, fruit and bushes of colorful hues

all about nothing of written with grace and unwritten with day dreaming state 

all about nothing of a promise that is meant to be and not meant to be

all about nothing of relief from each itching and holding on to a belief

all about nothing of the reasons in wonderment and in ecstasy

all about nothing of never to be heard and of never to be seen

all about nothing of an angel kiss, as calming as the stars 

all about nothing of longing to be nourished and cherished

all about nothing of reaching high and climbing mountains

 all about nothing of attachments and non-attachments

all about nothing of love and a sense of belonging

all about nothing of a new gravity and definition

all about nothing of fine vine yards and forest

all about nothing of desired and undesired

all about nothing of noise and quietness

all about nothing of facts and mystery

all about nothing of prose and poetry

all about nothing of cause and cure

all about nothing of time and space

all about nothing of weak and odds

all about nothing of lost and found

all about nothing of earth and sea

all about nothing of far and near

all about nothing of something and everything

that my breaths care as a poet all the while

that there is all about something for everything

as becoming content, as becoming me~

In time 

No ambition, no clue…

One day I will return to you

When we never knew if it were true~

 We come N go, we stare and it’s comfortably warm,

And we just have nothing-it makes and remakes us whole, 

When it’s all about nothing, it’s the everything~
