My Monsoon Saviour, My Irene Adler

Monsoon;
Like the welcome rain,
Stormy, fierce and beautiful
You entered my June -
And swept me off...

Flooding me with emotion
Drowning me in desire;
To myself - no heed, no caution...

Coconut;
All tough on the out
But on the inside soft
Without doubt;

Cold and snarky for all to see
But warmness held within -
Lacking kindness you cannot be,

Behind those glasses
Eyes are sometimes moist
Behind those smiles - feelings
Sometimes not voiced

Dreams you have
Little things - big things;
Means you've chartered out
Cold streams and fire rings...

Cog wheels racing,
Time bomb ticking -
Any time for romance?
Will I ever get a chance?

Love's no game,
In losing no shame -
I stand without armour...

You are my Irene Adler.

A Flame Amidst A Storm

09/03/2010

In my mind unrest
Breath escapes my chest
My patience put to test
I ask of you but a sign...
Don't tell me you're mine-
Just that you are fine.
Pine I do, like a man torn
A while now, a frown I've worn
But to myself this I've sworn,
Come rain or shine;
I'll stay true
To myself and to you-
A being of faith and trust
And passion too, if you must.
Like a flame amidst a storm,
I hold my love dry and warm
Nurturing me this love;
I need it more than you...
This love, still young
may not make sense to you;
this love so strong,
but this love has not been long,
What will come of it, who can tell
But this thirst for you, I cannot quell...

Delirious Rantings in Rhyme.

9/1/2010

1.)
I've been here too long.
Don't know what heaven is;
have never heard that song.
But if heaven's anything like you,
I'll close my eyes and die right now...

2.)
Long time ago, our eyes met last,
that memory though, not in the past
brown embers in white placid lakes;
no tears for me now, and no heartache...

3.)
While your fingers go tip tapping
the wait sends my heart pounding;
thoughts painting a picture in my mind
of beauty such, that leaves the world behind!

Requiem for the Unrequited.

Delirious rantings of a lonely soul
he's a sad singer; was an 'ace in the hole'
no more love songs, no more guitar
for a life gone bitter - more whiskey sour

A singer of repute with an ego big
He made all hits, every single gig.
then he had woman to woo, a reason to sing -
today he's ill mannered; under no one's wing

Outside the bar his dreams are burning
in a gust of wind; who cares it’s raining...
cowboy boots sink into deep slush; stains-
he's choking on tears but won't say it pains...

Drunken dancing till the car -
only round the corner, not too far
one step missed, now off the curb
his forehead kisses tar, all blood smeared,

A tear travels lone,
on the side of his face,
Not 'cause he's bleeding
but 'cause his time's coming.

If only he could see her once
if only once she would hear-
How much he loved, how much he cared
one final glimpse and he'll know
how he's fared...

In the face of death
he'll never know
what her heart spoke
what they had in store...

Let Me Be Your Angel

Let me be your angel
baby give it a try;
I'll take a bullet for you,
and I'll never let you cry

And if a tear were to roll
down that face so divine -
I'll wipe 'em first - give you a smile;
Hold Sorrow by the collar,
and tell him you're mine

Let me be your angel,
darling don't say no,
come into my arms, come in nice and slow
I'll love you oh so tender;
baby I'll never let go

I'll love you sweet and hold you close
keep you happy, away from life's woes
I'll be all you will,
I'll be on my toes!

Baby just love me,
Don't keep me away
come into my arms;
take me far away!

-Adi

Destiny. Not.

Moments in time
that'll never be mine,
like tears in the rain
Tears; just escape from pain...

The smiles are all fake
just for your sake;
I can't see you; so faraway
behind silhouettes- you're castaway.

Between us both, many a mile
in that space, creatures all vile
Swimmer I am, but not agile
reaching you, will take a while...

All that time, how will you wait?
Whenever I reach; It'll always be late.
My love for you, what is it worth?
this duel I will lose, that is just fate.

Inching forward, it's not even a step,
and at each inch, I need to return...
Between universes, in times apart
There's still a will to travel,
a mighty heart...

But stop I will never.
Fueling my inner fire,
is a potent desire-

some goals are so worthy;
dying for them; only brings glory.
Some smiles so pretty;
I envision perfect cherry blossoms.

Stellar Love

Inter galactic
emotional transmissions;
Stellar love!

light years away from each other
yet hope is on the horizon-
with suns above, and
cold water beating the cove

Words passing between them,
and pixels passing off for faces
breathing different air particles
All atoms of the same universe,

No encounter of emotions
just connected through waves-
radiation of thoughts
Hoping the other is well;

Dreams of a galactic voyage
persist on one planet,
Travel to the other end of the universe
where my love resides...

-Adi
