Cast Away

Still now I dream of you You are my inhibition I don't know where you are ,how you are  I still don't know Beside the blue mountains The swiftly flowing lonely oceans and deep black forests ....I dream of you In search of your existence I am shipwrecked...lost in this remote island In the afternoon at times I see the ships set sail on the edge of horizon Far away.... beyond the reach of my destiny I am lonely and desolate  I feel tired and dull  Exasperated and awe struck I have lost hope, faith, trust, virtues and desires  The sacrifices and peace of mind  It feels as if I've lost life  Is this what's called the journey of Life? I guess not  But I do know the path that leads to eternity Eternity is beyond the journey of life I still wonder when will I see the world the virtual  world  I'm cast away by the phases of Time Faded rusted and jaded I have lost my 'Self' Twenty years had passed dear, Still chasing you in my dreams Longi...

Love

Love is mystery! Love is magic Love is life  Love is everything This abstract feeling  Leaves us dumbstruck  Drives us crazy, mad We are lost in the ocean of thought And this excited infatuated reverie pleases us.. It's like an obsession                             Arunita Lahiry

Nostalgia

I miss you every single day I miss you every single moment Without you my life's incomplete. The breaking dawn welcomes a new day Sunshine in the morning gives an eternal bliss. The cold breeze, the sweet chirping of birds somehow pleases my inner soul. Far away I see the clock tower, the old mystic abbeys It is reminiscent of my good old happy-go-lucky school days Today after twenty long years, I pass through the streets of  Little Valley High School, I still hear the alarm bell, The hymns, chants, incantation and prayers in Church hall; The cacophony of the students makes me feel nostalgic... I am amazed to see the adjacent alley which was once ours' hidden secret rendezvous Memory never fades never transforms It  remains afresh and new in our mind's gallery.                                                  Arunita Lahiry

Day

In this mid-day wintry afternoon I can hear the sweet chirping of birds The roaming and buzzing of the golden fireflies,  Multi-coloured butterflies and grasshoppers I can see the lonely trees standing tall like statues and giving us shelter I can see the clear blue sky The blackbirds flying and enjoying freedom The green meadows on the countryside The eagles echoing throughout like a brave and wise king  The treehouse upon the hill creates a wide stretch of mystery , suspense and a sort of adventurous thrill  It feels my heart with happiness  If the introduction of a day is so visually delightful that it leaves us mesmerized I wonder what will be the impact of the conclusion ?                                         Arunita Lahiry

Longing

In this star studded silent night I again see you Your shadow, your voice and your very presence Lingering and loitering in my cottage... I wonder where you are I wonder how you are  May the Almighty bless your soul and purify your holy spirit In this daily humdrum and regime of this chaotic life being a busy bee... Yet somehow and somewhere I get connected with you supernaturally   Is this a dream or a mere hallucination ; a product of my storming brain ? I don't know how it happens yet it occurs to me  Whenever I long for you I convince myself with the belief that hopefully I will get you back in my next life...  So let the journey remain in equilibrium... This silent night I see you again It seems that our hide-and-seek will be eternal On and on You Belong to me.... forever and always.                                                 ...

Memories ought to make you smile...

What is life without memories? Memories are like reservoirs of good vibes thoughts and feelings. It's hard to fathom the essence of it as it's something that is to be felt not heard or seen. It's a perspective of man's hovering into the known past . The lingering of happy times , the waves of emotions all swept away in the depths of time . Memories bring back nostalgia as a return gift . Nostalgia pacifies soul with old wanderings and happy times. Memories and memories is all what we have in this fast paced everchanging world as it pleases our mind with a soothing effect of remembrance. The reminiscent love-talk often makes the lover nostalgic .  Memories on Love are like desserts after food . Love makes us build castles in the air often daydreaming of unfulfilled unfinished wishes and desires of happy-go lucky days . " Wish we had something of that sort ...yea something maybe unknown ..lost in the vicinity of this earthly world"           ...
