  Stranger, you are my love for tonight

Tell me, what are your secret desires

Revel in lust; let your senses take flight

Again and again, feel the rush, feel the fire

Need is the need of hour, just give in to it

Give up your soul, indulge in dark rites

Eager is cupid and you have irresistible me

Rearing to ride the pure pleasure tides

Show me what you have got, release the beast

I bet you it will be tamed, I will use the leash

Now don’t you share this secret with your girl

This is between you and me, our secret sin

Hearts do not matter, it’s all about the heat

Evade the rules, throw them out for now

Never ever think that you are in love

It’s all for the night, we are each other's delight

Gather your emotions and bury them for right

Heaven is in pleasure and hell is in sin

Together lets travel them as strangers in the night

Acrostic Poetry is where the first letter of each line spells a word, usually using the same words as in the title.

Walking on the beach, into your arms let me reach
Let me rest myself in them, share your warmth forever
Soft sand caressing feet, strong waves seducing the beach
Bathing in golden hues, the cold breeze moving us closer

A million unspoken words shared in a silent walk
Grieves and secrets thrown away in deep blue waters
Dreams and passions shared and unlocked under the dock
Binding our hearts, like the ships that share anchors

Laying down on the sand, tucking away peaceful moments
Staring at the twinkling stars, with not a worry in mind
Wonders that a warm hug can do, feelings a gentle tug cements
The golden sky looking mischievous, secrets to unravel treasures to find

To the intense currents of waves, the warm beach bows
To the questions that eyes pose, the answers a smile gives
To the answers that smile gives, a response in eyes glows
Feeling like an intruder, the sun takes our leave

Let the sun shy away; let the time stop for eternity
Let the candles melt away, let the sand swish under,
Let the world dissolve, leaving us in beautiful serenity
Let us lose each other, only to find in each other

Two Minutes

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 29; the 29th Edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton. The topic for this month is 'TWO MINUTES'

.

Just those two minutes of your time
When you spare a minute from your monotonous mime
Give her a hug and give her a peck
Before you leave for work at speed of break neck

Just two minutes of your time
When you spare and listen to her first rhyme
She recites with her naughty eyes and dimpled smiles
Nothing else can give you such pleasure for miles

Just those two minutes of your time
When you help the old man with a dime
The gratitude in his heart for his meal is set
Tears in his eyes, for him you are an angel he just met

Just those two minutes of your time
When you talk to almighty before your bedtime
The peace it gives you, the way it settles your mind
You drift in to a deep sleep, from stress you unwind


Just those two minutes of your time
We never realize it value for longtime
In this hectic world when time flies away
Spare those two minutes for loved ones come what may





Share with us, when did you last spend your 2 minutes on something that touched someone !!

Melt Away

Melt away now, don’t make me wait any longer

Over a year I have pined, don’t tease anymore

Night and day, pour your love on me all the way

Storm on me, don’t stop come what may

Oblivious to the world, as you flow from peaks to alleys

Oh, how I love the way you settle down in the valleys 

Never did I need you more, never this burning desire

Raging thunder bolts take on me and put off the fire

As you merge in to my streams, let us flow for an eon

Into realms of dark and deep, as deep as the ocean 

Nurturing my wounds and caressing my soul

Satiate me and yet again, make me whole

-          Yours forever

PART – 2

Have you ever felt the chills in your spine?

When the night seems darker and sinister

When somebody whispers “you are mine”

You turn around, search in vain for the invisible caller

When you walk faster, increasing your pace

When you jump at every rustle of leaves

Your heart thumps loud, almost beckoning him

Your throat goes mute, when all you want is to scream

When your shadow seems to crawl towards you

When the familiar eyes try to deceit you

When you want to cry but freeze due to fear

When you can do nothing but wait for the jeer

The feeling of Déjà vu enveloping you

It all comes so true, just like you knew

Or so you think, waiting for something

Trying to think clear, your mind not heeding

What was it that you were running away from?

Confused senses, is it for real or a dream

You pray hard, that you will wake up any second

And wonder if you are wrong, when the voice again beckons

Dark Angel

Blood on my hands, a stain on soul
Mirthless smile on lips, a resolute will
Slowly morphing in to a merciless Ghoul
Tearing away bit by bit, oh how I enjoy my kill
A spirit from hell, I am the dark angel
I live and grow in the fear of fragile

The screams are musical and tears beautiful
But let me tell you what fuels me the most
The whimpering lips, oh how delightful
Nobody escapes from me, which I can boast
You may be weak or strong or living in a hidden land
Whoever you are, I always have the upper hand

I stalk you, follow you like a shadow
You must have heard of me, one among your foes
Be on your watch, today and tomorrow
For I am waiting for you, as my hunger ever grows
I will be ever eager to strike my death blow
There is no hurry though, I love it steamy and slow

Yes dearest dear, this message is for you
Look behind you, can you sense me staring at you?
Trust no one for I may be one of those few
I can hear your racing heart, I love this pursue
Aahh...Now I can sense fear creeping in to you
Don’t you know darling that it pulls me to you?

Black Swan

The black swan in you, where does it hide
Conquering your senses, stirring up desires
Taking you on a ride, not a rule does it abide
Without your knowledge, to a new you it transpires

Does the white swan in you know of the alter
Or have you hidden it like skeletons in closet
Is it the power that fuels it or the passion?
Or is it the mysterious dark with forbidden pleasures

Oh the power of power how tempting indeed
To hide and play keep them confounded
Let them wonder what lies beneath the facade
In the name of game, are they leading or being lead


Who are you deep inside the layers?
Who are you amidst all those fake feathers
Writer of the play or just one of the actors
A part of vicious circle or are you its center

You might fool the world with all your white flock
Don’t you enjoy deep down the highs of the black
Oh don’t you deny, for i know your deepest secrets
Right from your shrewd moves to the darkest minutes

You might wonder who is the one that writes
Which alter is it the black or the white
Well, it is the white laying out the truth before you
Or is it the black throwing a challenge at you?

Then there is a moment

A lone traveler on the dunes of time
Bogged down by bonds and layers
Enacting my part better called mime
Racing for the end unaware of players
Then there is a moment where i stop and ponder
What am I and what is my purpose here

Mirages and images of true self and others
There is no way to find how your reflection falls
Is my character well sculpted, should I even bother?
Is it white or black or do you have an image at all?
Then there is a moment where you stand and stare
A look at the mirrors and you stop to care

Still you are pushed, pulled and trodden by the crowd
For you have to clean and rub until the mirror shines
So you wipe, strive with it unaware of the sun and clouds
You slog, you curse, you cry, fill the world with your whines
Then there is a moment, when you crack up under pressure
A glance at the reflection, it is not an iota fresher


You world stands still, and the race does not matter
For you realize, it is a mirage, the race is in the mirror
The reflections don’t matter, the former one or latter
For it is who you are, smile at the mirror with fervor
Then there is moment, when it dawns upon you, it is all too late
Taking the last step in the journey, we all curse fate

Satyam Shivam Sundaram

Serenity stays on lips while emotions play in eyes

A warm hand to hold and a sweet smile to assure

The moment silence envelopes, nerves sing their lines

Yearning for more, when your soul roars, redefining the core

Away you get carried, breaking the shackles riding the waves

Magnificently pristine the ultimate truth your heart craves

Sacred is the feeling when your heart is filled with love

Healing the wounds, bathing the soul, clearing the conscience

Immersing in to eternal bliss, entwining like one you move

Veracity would flow through, floating you in a sea of peace

Apex of pleasure, void of thoughts, the moment of realization

Moving you to tears, as you give up yourself in adoration

Soothing the wild waves as you travel the path of pleasure

Under the currents of power when you let out your feelings

Neither the mundane nor the cosmic plans even matter

Driving you, a force uncontrollable, a powerful steering

Alluring you to its haven, while you keep wondering at its divinity

Releasing you from the invincible chains of logic

Amazing is the entity of it, a truth, a power, a beauty

More you have the more you need, all those moments of magic!

Black And White

The stage is set and actors positioned
To either kill or die they are conditioned
Each on their own with their favored weapon
To plan and attack teach them a lesson
Sharpen your brains, march forward with offense
Strengthen your heart, build a great defense

Your color doesn’t matter, be it black or white
All that you need is valor of a knight
Plan like the queen douse them in fright
You may be a bishop or rookie, everybody here fights
All that matters is your mark on the squares
The king wants it all, rage a war who cares?

Ever wondered how similar it is to you
You can relate to them, at least a few?
King represents your heart while queen the brain
Queen plans what king wants and then they train
Your emotions are the knight, power in them if used correctly
Bishop is your skill will help you cross the paths covertly

Then there is the rookie representing your strength
Daring and dashing, travelling intangible lengths
There are still the pawns quite a few in numbers
Smaller in size and far more humbler
Well, you may think that they are useless in crisis
But they represent all those things that you have to sacrifice

For they become your stepping stones for success
They act as bait, for you to prove your prowess
Ponder at the scheming and sketching in our life
With skills, strengths and emotions our daily strife
Now I know what Survival of the fittest is
And all for what, few square meals?

New Dawn

Here comes a new dawn, washing away the night

Dreams replace the tears, a smile warms the heart
Tender steps in to a new arena, staring at the unknown path
To walk or not, to unravel or not, to trust what faith hath


Staring at it from the confined comfort of shell
A war goes on whether to dare the spell
Don’t be foolish prods the past
Take a step and unleash coaxes the present


Well it cannot be stronger than my cocoon
The peaceful haven where I can croon
It neither knows the path nor the destination
Wondering if can wander in the unknown amazons


Then it smelled the most delicious essence in the air
There at the end of path had bloomed a white rose fair
It desired to touch the flower, to kiss it and feel it
Its eyes on it and only it, cocoon now felt like a pit


Finally it crawled out and started toward the flower
Colourful wings it had grown, may be flower’s power?
As it reached its destiny, it turned to a butterfly
May be, just maybe it was meant to comply


It’s your turn now to take that leap of faith
For the new dawn has brought miracles straight
Emerge as a butterfly, fly around the bends
For there is path before you and a destiny at the end


May this New Year show us our paths which would lead to our destiny!!
Wish you a very happy new year!!
