CRY
I have been watching
the pouring rain,
the soil is damped
like my eyes,
like my disfigured thoughts,
like my fragile dreams,
I held a muted moment
of the night
in my arms,
sobbed endlessly,
like a kid
crying for his lost kite.
Rain
Come,
lets walk in this rain
lets get drenched
lets hear what every drop has got to say
lets hold hands, forever.
Come,
lets make love
In this rain again
Come,
lets make rain
With this love again.

Naveen and Prabha, I might have one publisher in delhi publish my work but looks like it’s a long process
Right now I can order on behalf of you at US$12.95. That would be 600/-. Let me know if you would like me to place the order.
Sandesh, Thank for checking on my blog. I wanna see your blog back in action too. when are you getting back to india?
Bijesh, I had been very busy off late and haven’t done much of writing. I should be getting back to Meeting Mira soon. Keep checking on for updates, thanks for message. Cheers!

Hey Shalin,
I never knew you wrote so well… you could make me go out of business if you ever started travel writing… seriously…
Your poetry is great too…
I wish I was even 20% as creative as you are…
All the very best to you… and have a great time.

Shalin,
A splendid collection of poetry……Would definitely browse through borders or B&N to grab a copy…..You seem to possess quite an exquisite talent in both Tech and balladry.
Keep writing

with all my might
within my sight
I have woshipped you
forgetting my existence
Oh !God when shall u meet
And my heart will greet
The Glimpse of your eternity
Engulfing me in tranquility
With materialistic offerings
I will not please you
I have no strenth or follishness
To measure your infinity
