Poetic Rovings



    In poetry lies my heart. Here's a compilation of my two liner poems which I wrote on Twitter. Consider this, Shayari in English. Hope you like it! 


      • O star that twinkles in the sky, the clouds may obscure you for a while,                      Shine on, for that one smile, I've walked many many a mile. 

      ------------

      • O half moon when will you rise, for the lake awaits your shadow,                                        and there's loneliness in the skies...

      ------------

      • ‎'Trouble' she says but hides her smile,                                                          Trouble he hides and sees that smile.

      -------------


      • In her smile, he'd rejoice, in her eyes, he sees life;                                                      Trifle here and trifle there, he gathers joys for his afterlife.

      -------------

      • Time may take you away from me for a while,                                                            but worry i'd not, for i survive by the thought of your smile.

      -------------


        • Like the cloud that obscured the sun moves on and the sun shines...                               Like the longed rain on parched land, she smiles

        -------------


        • In the dark of the night, he hid his tears                                                                          and when it dawned, he ran out of them

        ------------

        • Of what shall I tell you and where do I begin,                                                                                  little will people believe my story, love it is..and it will win
        ------------
        • On all bright days he slept in the dark corner,                                                                                 but when his turn came by the window, it snowed. 

          -----------


          • Your dark hair runs over my face, your breath warms it,                                                                                  I'm trapped in your eyes..let me live here forever, this is it

          ------------

          • Who'll call you kind with these eyes that pierce the soul,                                                                                     But scarce did i know there's such joy in this pain. 

          ------------

          • Draped in you, I look around, this world is nothing, but a means to get to you.                  

          ------------

          • He looks on, not a soul he sees; green shadows of the hills in the river, fragrance, breeze and peace.

          ------------

          • Engulfed by your fragrance in the shadow of your dark hair, I'm inside you and you're searching everywhere.

          -------------

          • He never escaped, for her aura was his prison.

          -------------

          • Arrested by her eyes, he sought a life sentence.

          -------------

          • He cried in pain, he wails in vain...he looks to the west, there's no one left.

          -------------

          • Standing by the shore, eyes upon the horizon, slowly the ship vanishes, sun lights the sea golden.

          -------------

          • Lost in her fragrat maze, he searches for the way out., when he finds his way, he walks back in.

          -------------

          • You woman in maroon, did you just cut across my soul as you walked past me this noon?

          -------------

          •  He sang that which she longed to hear, Alas, he sighed, If only you were near

          The Wait


          He looks to the west, for a millionth time
          Inside his heart, her memories chime
          An era had passed since he last smiled
          He waited in hope, like a promised child


          Distant winds remind him of her presence
          In every breath, he searched for her fragrance
          By the gates of the town, he waits on his knees
          He longs for her, but she’s far across the seas


          He searches for her in every palanquin that stops
          Hopes she’d step out of one when the veil drops
          And when it turns dark, he searches the skies
          When moon and stars give up, quietly he cries


          Hope keeps him alive, for he knows she’ll return
          But until she sets foot in town, his heart will burn
