Take me away with you to the sunset's fire.
Take me away with you to dreamers desire
Take me away with you until the stars are a pyre.
Take me away with you to our soul's island
...

Lock me close to you for all my eternal lifetimes.
Love me locked to you till the ends of dreams,
My sunrises are handcuffed to your twilights.
Capture my thoughts for I am your prisoner,
...

Smile like the summer suns
Smile like the solar fires
Smile like the starlit nights
Just smile once more
...

Field of Dreams

Meet me in a field of gold
Where the sunlight rains
...

Stars and comets find him for me,
Seek my betrothed and let me glimpse
The dreams of his eyes and the fire of his soul.
Dawns crack and twilight’s dance
...

The secrets of daylight butterfly
Embroidered within its wings
...

For centuries, I have craved to snatch a glimpse of you,
For centuries, I have desired your timeless conversations,
Wrapped in the warm solar flares of the magical northern lights,
My prayers are heaven sent, reaching the glittering stars for you,
...

Fly from me to sunset dreams
Fly from me to Saturn's rings
Fly from me through diamond rains.
Fly from me through solar flares.
...

Moonlight, night-light, star-lights, fire-lights,
Lamplight, candlelight, tea-lights. street light
He ignites all my lights at midnight,
Softening his kisses to fire my senses.
...

Don’t say you love me
Don’t say you hate me
Don’t say you miss me
Don’t say you want me
...

Seas of dreams in turquoise silk
Quilts the sands of distant time
Mermaid trysts with ghostly sailors
Haunts the nights on turquoise bay
...

As gently as the summer breeze
As softly as the summer rose
As sweet as the summer rain
...

Wedding days laced with delicate dreams,
Waiting for the feather-tailed sparkling groom,
Scripted in clichéd Bombay celluloid colour
That manufactures the minds of the innocent,
...

Putrid meat of human flesh,
Feeding vultures circle
Parasitic like human nature.
Showers of knives that drive
...

Silence

The doll house people,
Two dimensional, glassed, iced
...

Shut the world with wooden doors
Shut me into your prisoner arms,
Frozen away in snow teared mountains
Freeze me in your eyes of wonder,
...

Dark, black blindness,
So I may view nothing
Of the rose on the sill
Episodic shots of street-light
...

Silent tears fall till endless dawns,
Clown smile plastered to daylight,
The hourglass drips slower,
Each sand particle draws blood.
...

Fly her away where skies caress the suns
And the dawns mist laughs for romantic nights.
Oh Persian peacock prince of moments
Where are thou-est gold dusted carpets?
...

Moonlit are the nights on Dal Lake
Starlit are the waves of Dal Lake
Firelit are the trysts on Dal Lake
...
