AN ODE TO ‘YOU’ The flowers of the garden as they see you go by Is ashamed of their beauty. The deer of the wild as she see your eyes Is ashamed off her life. The night as it sees your lustrous hair Is ashamed of its darkness. The stars want to take you down as they see The brightness in your eyes. Tell me how can I stop loving you When you are in front of me, When you are inside of me, When you are in my dreams. The sea is ashamed as it touch your mind For the vastness and depth it feels. The breeze acts cold as it sees you care For the souls lost in a dream. The dew drops lose themselves in the air Ashamed by the purity of your heart. And my love for you make me feel the painOf being unworthy of you. © Achu She She had the brightest smile And that twinkle in her eyes She is my friend, my life Why isn’t she here with me now? The moon is shining bright The gentle breeze caress my cheeks On the grass I layback light Why isn’t she here with me now? She’s the flame of my heart She’s the rhythm of my life She’s the music of my soul Why isn’t she here with me now? Somebody blew off the flame And the rhythm goes off beat The music flows without a frame And Lo! She’s away from me now. But I can see her in me I can see her in you And I try to keep going on Escaping the reality of truth. © Achu FORGIVE When silence reigned the heart And music left the soul From the heaven they sent me an Angel To play the strings of my heart She brought back my lost dreams She brought back my hopes And her support in my solitude told I got someone to hold We exchanged our troubles For some love and care We exchanged our tears For some laughter and joy It’s the moments that we shared It’s the trust that we bear For each other how we care Is what binds us together. I just wanted to make you smile I just wanted to stop you cry I just wanted to caress your hair And say how much I care But my dear, I don’t know Whether I failed or not But I love you from deep inside And forever I’ll be there for you, in all your trials Forgive me if I’ve hurt you Forgive me for all my mistakes I believe only my beloved Can forgive what I do. © Achu

The journey is on. None knows when it started. None knows when it will end. But the destination is clear. As I tread deeper into the swirl of time I realise once I will also be timeless. Doomed are they who don’t realise this. For, never can they experience the tranquillity that would have come their way. The knowledge that you can defy the ever mobile hands of time. The base of hour, the day, the month, year, eternity. To be massless, & timeless, shattering the chains of obligation. To be you, the single you.
