Tonight is The Night
Our night, Diwali night
Today we will meet
If we might
You and me together
a fire and a cracker
One aint matter without the other
You are
Yes, who else
My friend, philosopher, guide!
But Rule Of nature…
We are entertainers of the World
Puppets of destiny
Destined to set up a show…
For you to make worth, you must burst out
Sparkle, fly around
or make some sound
For an applause round
And I the culprit
The incinerator
Have the onus to burn you out
Start an end of you
Oblivious of your shout
But may be
This is our story
Maybe
That is life, all about!
You are standing tall
In corner of a road to impress
Handsome, as always
I am lit, gazing at your dress
It is all going to end
You still have no fear
But I must confess
I am still shaky
I am still not clear
and just when
I gather guts
for the act
You smile at me
Show me that pout
A chill blows down my heart
My heart freeze
I simmer and You shiver
You give meaning to my life
When you hisss
We come closer
For a brief life taking kiss
And that’s the moment
Precisely that’s the moment
We don’t want to miss,
When time stops
That’s the moment,
A moment to live for
A moment to die for
a moment of chemistry
We both know, it will soon be history.
It will be lost in some child’s giggles
Do we Care?
No, Hell No
Fragrance of love will stay there
No matter
How brief that moment was
It had flare
I see you
Doing your thing
The sparkle, The Whistle
The Swing
And then a loud sound
I know, what it is about
but I am not scared
I look for you all around
I get your last glimpse
a lasting one
Your silhouette in a smoke frame
bidding adieu to my flame
Once your last breath diffuse
I am extinguished
Thrown away
Stubbed out under some boot
Trust me, I am happy
For you are gone
I am of no use
.................o................
(Diwali came and went away…I got up and saw remains of burst out crackers, scattered all around the road. Last night’s crowd was dispersed, all smoke was gone. But some fragrance of love was still in air…and I just wished I could write a rhyme)
