On The Tracks of Life

(Picture: Krishna Kumar)
On the tracks of life, I wait for you
They say you know when love is true!
In the sound silence I hear you say
“Yes I promise you, I will come… And come this way!”
This is my home, lush green around
You will be happy am sure; you will hear no sound!
Only of the wind, that sings of love!
And of bees and birds in their nests above!
I am reminded of a song- “…hold my hands and I will take you there…”
On the tracks; I wait for you, my lady fair!
My brain does think and my heart does feel
Precious moments of life, time does steal!
How long will I wait here for you, dear one?
How many more wars to fight and battles to be won?
As the sunsets over the mountain slopes
Another day gone, a long wait, but my heart still hopes!
Do come home my Love – let my wait not go in vain!
For if there is a tomorrow, I will be here again!

Abhi Mat Jao...( Don't leave me yet!)

Why do you deceive me o love!
One minute you seem so close
And the next minute – you’re gone!
Up in these misty mountains
The sun too plays hide and seek
Just a glimpse of you o beautiful one
What I want ? – stay on my love!
This is the moment we will cherish
Years may come and go
The mountains stand witness to this moment!
For tomorrow is a new day
And we walk the path of life in our own way!

Long to be with you

High up in the misty mountains
In the smell of the forest and the spray of water
Love flows like elixir from the fountains
A confession – I have never felt better!
Tall trees that touch and speak to the sky,
The gurgling sound of water, the smell of jungle
A romance in the air, giving me a different high!

Will I ever be back to be with you again ?
Or will I die yearning for you, but in vain!
As if like an answer, I hear a voice –say
‘Let me be in your heart and keep me this way.
Let no one into what our hearts know as true
Like the trees here that even without care
Just grow and age as time moves through!'

Call of the Green!

Is it a dream ? Or is it true!

Shall I pinch myself or Ask you?

Out of the concrete jungle

Far from the maddening crowd,

This too is my country!

The lush green makes me so proud!

Walking in the shadows of the trees,

Feeling the silence there,

My heart seems to miss a beat

So green is my valley , so pure the air!

The soft wind blew across my face

The shadows created figures on the ground

Like little children having fun, playing around!

The lovely green seems to say -

"You are welcome to my home

Will you give me as assurance - please, I pray!

Don't destroy me, don't kill me

I will give you what you need

All I seek is just let me be!"

And I thought to myself- ' Is this a message from above?

As beings with intellect do we need to value love ?

Love for those who cannot speak

Love for those who give us all,when we seek!'

Thought after thought like waves in the sea!

What can I do to let my green countryside be !
