The welcome rain...

The skies were distinct...

Not a patch of a passing cloud...


The eyes had met,finally
The filth of the city streets,kept aside...


The sun had lost its warmth,to
Everything that remained,of the candle...



The stars watched all of it,in
An ignored existence...





The chapter was unusual,but

It was a welcome rain.....

Let the distance...

Stand a length away...

The distance is necessary...



The nearer you come
It fades,somehow,in
The filth of a last night's sleep...



The mile you walk,in it
Lies the entire,of
My transparency...





The distance...


Let it remain.....

An erstwhile...

There would be a day,when

All of it would be

An erstwhile...

The sky would be gloomy,clouded,and

There wouldn't be a drizzle...

Someone had forgotten the rains...

You would stand before me,with

The scar of a different name,across your forehead...

The glimpses of an erstwhile,lost in

The grey skin.....

That night...

They had left her soiled...


She said
Cry a river for me...



The skies were torn apart,that night...

People had shut their doors and windows...



The solitary light post stood,drenched,where
The lonely streets met the highway...





The rain drops danced along
The lengths of the concrete,filling in


The potholes around.....

A new beginning...

Let's start afresh...
You had said,the other day...

I had smiled to myself...



The wounds of a yesterday,had
Grown flesh,but,there remained
The scars of a new skin...



It was over,and yet
Something had been left behind,but...


The stale leftovers of an erstwhile,can't be

A new beginning.....

Beneath a dark mirror...

It had rained last night,relentless...

I had seen it,all of it...

You had said,the window is closed...



A girl stood,soaking in,completely
Wearing off,the dirt of a forgotten childhood...

You had said,the window is closed...



You fear the daylight,and
Your window remains,closed...


My sun stays alike

Beneath a dark mirror.....
