As it rained again today………..

Soaked in wordless emotions,


eyes poured silently as you waved goodbye


And years later there I stood astound,


at the exact spot where we parted


My sensibilities overcome with a familiar sense of loss,


discovering yet again that years change but feelings do not.


There is an awkward silence extended by distances,


showering flashes of moments gone by


On my present etched is the footprint of our past,


restored for eternity by your ruthless abandon

And once more I come home drenched in your memories,


As it rained again today………..




…By me

रमेश तेंडुलकरांची एक अप्रतिम कविता

नाही विसरलो तुला....सारे सारे आठवतेय

अदृशयाशी जडले तुझे माझे नाते........

 शाप घेतलेले उरी सारे सहीन प्राक्तनाला

माझ्या प्राजक्ताची ओंजळ वाहीन..........


माझ्या मुक्या आसवांचे सर डोळा लपवीन

तुझासाठी ठेवीन मी इंद्रधनूची कमान...........


- रमेश तेंडूलकर

कांच

कांच




रुई सी हलकी जिंदगी थी,

जी भर कर जिया मे I

अब्ब तो पत्थर की है,

फिर भी कांच की तरह

संभल संभल के जी रहा हूँ I

Valentines Day, 2012

Love is an amorphous and unsettling feeling
it vaporizes off even before it settles in!
up up and away it goes like kites without any strings......
