Wait

She said she would be back soon. He waited. Seconds became minutes, minutes to hours and to days and years. He waited and waited for long, long enough that years passed away and she became a memory, no longer alive. He would have waited for more, but little did he have time. end had come.

When It's Time To Die

an attempt to translate Rafeeque Ahamed's "Maranamethunna Nerathu"

I wish if you could sit by my side
When it’s time for me to die
For my worn hands could finally
Rest caressing you for once
For my last breath could contain
The aroma of you lingering in it
For my eyes that would never again
Be open, to capture your face
For your voice to be the last melody
To fall into my ears when I rest
For my memories to stay alight in you
Even when I get vanished of the earth
For all your pain be healed soon
By the prayer words you utter
For my feet to feel cold, in memory
Of the ways I walked into you
That would be the only necessity
For me, to reincarnate into life.

(PS: very first attempt on translating something from malayalam to english.)

Apologies

How do i put into words
The weight my heart bears
How do i ever be content
Of apologizing enough, wordless.
Only if the silence between us
Echoed of my pain to your ears
Of the things i couldn't change
and of words i failed to express!

Death Wish

meek, mild and tender your eyes
rolling down through your cheeks
words that once failed to gain voice
drained of emotions i stood watching
contemplating if to gift you false hopes
of a life, togetherness and a better tomorrow
not knowing if to wipe away your tears or
to walk away from you, forever
knowning that i wouldnt last for long
moments when i wish to be blessed
if i could stay a little longer
only if time is a luxury i could afford

Absence

That night when you left me

It rained, thunders and lightning

Now when I think, the sky too wept

I only wonder if in pain or in joy

The pain that I bore when you departed

Breaking my heart in to a million pieces

Or the joy of taking back the star

That once fell down from tis abode, the sky.

You were there, in my life, when it was dark

And your smiles brightened up my world

And now when I am in light and merry

All I feel is a void that your absence creates

A void so loud that the silence

Echoes down and reverberates forever.

Vengeance

words uttered in anger
unknown of the pain created
breaking apart the bonds
leading to a state of chaos


ripples on the surface
whrilwinds deep down
vengeance, melting down the heart
pay back is sweet, when its old.

Escaping From You

the voices in my head
taking me to places that
are never know to me
circles, lines and shadows
the visuals in my head
flying with them for long
falling prey to nightmares
losing my sanity over them

escaping from the sense of reality
and every thoughts of you
saving my heart from breaking apart
living in a world of my own.

Not A Drop Of Tear

There was no adrinaline rush. No fire was lit in him. He wasnt even feeling anything. Numb he was. Burning inside his mind was the thoughts of all bygone days. Where days were short and nights were lenghty.. When they had loved the dark shades.. He didnt close his eyes the last time they kissed eachother. His hands werent crossed behind her. He didnt try to bring the comforting darkness back.

She wasnt standing on his feet, her hands werent carassing his lenghty hair. She wasnt flying above the clouds. Her feet was in the ground. She wasnt swept off by the intense emotions. She looked deep into his eyes, in a state of trance. Plain it was. There wasnt that shine in his eyes. The silence felt threatening. It didnt speak anything unlike rest of the days.

She pushed him off.. His hands slowly unclutched from hers.. The comfort they had while being together was far gone. They couldnt stand the sight of each other. Not a drop of tear fell from their eyes.
