Adieu Adieu..I Bid Adieu......

As the dusk blushed on the New Year eve

Bleeding out the beauty in the winter sky,

The long withered grass breathed its heart

Singing the melody of the year that went by..

Adieu, Adieu I bid Adieu to the year that passed by.

Of fond memories, of blissful nights

Of those friends and foes that added life,

Of smiles and of tears that I shared

I vividly paraphrased in my mind..

Adieu, Adieu I bid Adieu to the year that passed by.

The silent air intoxicated with the fragrance of the old wine

Every moment spent remains special in the mind’s eye

Behold each memory like the mist upon the placid twilight

To you and to the world I sing this lullaby

Adieu, Adieu I bid Adieu to the year that passed by.

With new hopes and fondest dreams

Here comes yet another day, another Month, another Year

Bringing happiness, bringing delights, bringing desires

Here again I bid adieu to the year passed by

And dearly welcome the Year ahead full of joy.

A Gentle Whisper....

A butt of cigarette I lit,

Raising the fumes in the air,

Lost was I, watching it disappear high.

It was the month of December

The times when birds retreated,

The times when I watched the clear blue sky..

In the paralyzing cold, my palms felt numb

And the cool breeze whispered-

A sort of slurred "Hush" into my ears.

Lost was I, watching the birds soaring high

And then I felt alive...

Yet again I felt alive when the edge of the cigarette butt

Seared my finger, making me feel alive.

I watched the morning dew drops

As fresh as the mint,

As imperial as the pearl.

And then came the whiff

Blowing my thoughts like fallen leaves.

The branches danced fanatically to the rhythm of the wind,

And then I heard the soft gentle voice

That echoed into my ears.

It wasn't me, neither was it you.

On the crossroad I stand,

Mesmerized by the candy-coated voice

Hold on for a moment I screamed

But before my words, before my thoughts

The sound muffled into the air.

It wasn't for the air,

It wasn't just for the voice

But it was for the charismatic caress that I felt,

I still long for the experience once again.
