344.Across thousands miles I lie

Across thousands miles I lie 
Cuddling you in my sleep
Tossing to your heartbeat.
I rise with a smile 
For your picture flashes
Upon my inward eye.

My Life rides uphill and downhill
With your name and love
Permanently engraved
In my heart's locker
Storing hordes of memories
That none has the power to erase.

343.Nearly...Happy

I hate you sometimes
When you make me believe
I am important to you
When I know 
I am not
And cannot be.
I don't know
When and why
I lost you
But I do know
You keep away.
Yet my heart warms up
To hear from you 
And thanks you 
For nearly making me happy
Once again tonight.

342. Be on Time

What a crime it is to be late
And make others stand in endless wait
Stop maneuvering and lying about time
With an apology for the crime.

Be on time
Do not be late
For lost time will seal your fate
And you won't get
A second chance anyday

If you make it a habit to be late.

341.Khub manau chuti

Khub manau chuti
Khau aam litchi
Gach ropu falak
Hariyar karu dharti

Sustau aau gach tar
Sang rahu meetak
Anand liya chutik

340.My Story

Each day 
Happens to be doomsday 
If  I fail to seek
Your trustworthy help.

Each hour
Feels like a century
Filled with void and emptiness
Without your guidance.

Each minute
When sadness engulfs
Threatening to crush and crumble me
Faith in you maintains my sanity .

Each second
I am in the midst
Of a cyclone if I deviate
From the path shown by you.

Each moment
At your feet my Lord
Lies my embodiment of hope
As time scribbles my story.

339.Illusions

Many  a rosy picture paints illusion
Blurring our foresight
With its false vision.

It follows us on Seas and meadows
Making us believe
It is as true as our shadow.

Unsuspecting we hurl ourself
Into its well laid trap
Lured by the candid vision.

Till it's too late
To walk out unscatched
From its burning pit.

It churns us in it cauldron
Making thick soup of our limbs
Till we are unable to climb out.

Illusion smiles a wicked smile
In its Web we remain entangled
Scumbing to Illusions vicious whims.

338.Will I survive?

Innumerable togetherness
The gift of understanding
The bond we share
Brings a lump to my throat.

The air I breathe
Smells of your presence.
I cherish each moment
With my eyes open and close.

I wonder each day
Will I survive
If you vanish
Before I do?
