Let Me Drape



Let me drape you,
With silken light of moon;
Let me drape you
With golden rays of sun.
It will make you look sublime,
When it wraps you as you twirl and turn.
Let me drape you with every celestial boon,
And when you feel tired of those dresses soon.
Let me drape you with a new melodic tune,
Though there is a wall of skin between you and me.
Let me drape you
With a layer of my warm breath on thee.

My excitement getting wild within;
Let me drape you with its wilderness.
The blossoms of love has bloomed within.
Let me drape you with its fragrance;
If you are feeling coy today,
Then let me drape you with my being.
There is no need to hide in crowd somewhere,
For I’ll drape you with serenity of loneliness,
There is some kind of sweetness in the air.
Let me drape you with its sweetness,
When you find no comfort anywhere,
Just let me drape you with my embrace.

Perfection




I accept, there is a worm of perfectionism in myself,
Does that give you right to call imperfect yourself?
Do you know while exploring your real self,
I actually ended up surprising myself.
How bravely you revealed your real being!
And I believe it is not a trivial thing.

Such truthfulness, such honesty,
Such transparency, such purity,
Reside in your soft sacred soul,
When these are the very traits, I extol,
All other imperfections make not impact,
And these traits alone make you perfect.

My Midas

For long, I resisted all the temptation
Denying and escaping my inclination
To pen down my thoughts in words
And let them fly like free birds

For long, I succumbed to the selfish worldly noise
Ignored and crushed the pleas of my inner voice
I was lost in wilderness, couldn’t make it through
Didn’t know how wrong I was until I found you

I was an unused guitar with loose unmusical strings
You pulled them and strummed with your magical ring
And I started to play mesmerizing melodic tunes
As if a majestic palace recreated out of ancient ruins

Just like Midas your touch turned me into gold
I started to shine since I came into your fold
You showed me the place where I belong
Now I can touch hearts like love song.

Without Any Reason



Everything that happens, happens for a reason,
Still some things do happen without any reason.

Where, we are wise in making new relations,
We fall in love with a stranger without any reason.

Knowing very well, failed love is unyielding,
We often keep on longing without any reason.

Knowing very well, some desires are unattainable,
We hope for its fulfillment without any reason.

Blinded in love, knowingly we put all our faith,
On a faithless person without any reason.

Unconditional love often gives nothing but pain,
Still we glorify selfless love without any reason.

When life seems directionless and futile,
We continue to live without any reason?
