What Clouds Say

Sometimes it feels...

As if the clouds have a lot to say...

As if they are trying to transmit

unsent messages...

As if they are relaying

unspoken words...

As if they are conveying

unavowed feelings...

And hinting on the existence of bonds

that are beyond boundaries

In words of their own

written across the glorious sky.

Smile

I never knew

I have a

gleam in my eyes

when I smile

Until...

someone told me so.

I would probably have

just brushed it off

but I closed my eyes

And thought

for a while.

I sensed

an identical gleam 

in someone's eyes too.

And I realized

who it was

who reflected

in my every smile.

Cosmos Rays

Once upon a moon, I wandered

Deep in the tall grey forest

It was never a journey

I wished to take

Yet I never wondered

Why I was there

It was calm everywhere

Enough of it to hear

The rustle of the leaves

Yet I never listened

My thoughts,

if there were any,

Hovered around

In a brownian motion

As they meandered in the

Flickering light of the glow worms

Then on a morning like any other

You shined on me, like the

First rays from the brilliant sun

From far across the mountains

With your smile

Sweeter than ambrosia

And your snuggling grasp

Softer than the breeze

You showed me the path

I had long forgotten

And as we walked through

The field of the Cosmos flowers

I could feel my heart beat again

To the melody of your breath

Enough?

Will words ever be enough!?

To express everything 

That the starry night 

The velvety wind, and

Your presence evoke!

Will anything be ever enough!
