IF LOVE CAN HEAL YOU

If love can heal you
I send all of mine
You are precious
take a part of my life
though I am a ocean of pain myself
my heart and soul are pure love
You stay there and rest
all my poems are
prayers for you
they belong to you
they shall heal you indeed
you are loved deeply
Cared and blessed
in whatever I do
or not do
soul to soul conversations
happen with every breath
If love can heal you
I send all of mine.

YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT

You always say that
I am amazing with words
though I often feel
Words are not enough
when it comes to express
my passion, raw and intense
the pain of knowing that
you are not mine
So so far away
from my mortal reach
I can't see you
I can't hug you
I can't hold you in my arms
I can't whisper in your ears
that all will be fine soonest
how can words express
how much I long to hold your hands
how I crave for your cosy smile
and that light in your eyes
all I have to offer are these words
all wrapped in love
of thousand of lifetimes
I fail to express all and enough
I brush away failure every time
When you say
I am amazing with words.

I OFTEN HEAR

I often hear
what you could never say
I understand the unsaid
I walk into your silence
I love the layers of your thoughts
Which are hidden thoughtfully
from me with so much care
Love is beautiful when expressed
Oh It is magical when not expressed
your lit up eyes say more than you can
Words don't come to your rescue
they are only mine
and when you touch my soul
in your thoughts
almost immediately
my soul is moist with morning dew
I smile to myself then
Your secrets are revealed after all
I often hear
what you could never say
I understand the unsaid
I walk into your silence.

Between your hope

Between your hope
of touching my soul
with your telepathic thoughts
and my ocean of words
filled with passion
We float together
In our shared dreams
words fail me as you stun me
with your enigmatic smile
Speechless yet so comfortable
where silence is an eternal poem
we float together
in our shared dreams
we understand each other
as twin souls
this understanding is born
out of our conversations of
thousands of lifetime
where we were inseparable
In this life our journey
on earth is far away,
there are oceans and
mountains in between
we met each other
by accident
and realised how far away
we are born
not meant to be together in this life
Yet we float together
in our shared dreams
we understand each other
as twin souls.
