An accolade to Mickey’s

30^th October 2011,colva

By Sashi.Prabhu(ZEAUOXIAN).

Old weary & weaving roads to Colva it made me take,

To Mickey’s I was heading after a long break.

The monsoon rains & the heady winds,

Shut down the joint , but the ambiance it reminds.

Opened this joint to yester’s morn,

For the native, traveler or tourist afore he moved on.

Warm is the vibe & cool is the breeze,

The gamut so delicious , are cooked a wee bit of grease.

The thatched rays ,they creep into the woven roof,

The tables are spread out for space aloof.

The people are warm and the ale is cold,

And the clustered guest they are young & old.

As dusk sets in , more soothing the breeze,

The hotelier, he must stuff more beers into his deep freeze.

As twilight sets and the lights come on,

With the heat & dust , its all gone.

The gentle breeze now fills his hall,

As night descends, it’s fun for all.

The lights are dim but the vista is great,

The menu’s lines they wish to be on your plate.

The moon is up and the stary sky deplete,

In walks my girl for me to meet.

The feast was great & precious time spent,

Mickey’s to remember it’s meant.

Weeping words entrapped

On a bard’s nib we slept,

Hibernated, slumbered and under the quinine stains we wept,

Yearned we did to spill ourselves on paper,

Bard he caged his thoughts and emotions for later.

Later, we heard them thoughts say and an year went by,

Afraid we were for the burden on his heart was high,

Ever we knew that a lip curved in pain,

Can be kissed into a smile again.

Our neighbor,more sorrowing words,them lay folded,

Some on the table & most weeping in his heart , pounding his head all loaded.

A cry afar a sob we at times faintly hear,

A smile , an eruption we sense at times from his dear.

A fortnight back the darkness did go,

And lights flowed dim at first and then bright  but slow.

Some danced from them thoughts,

But some lingered on till all emotions to the fore he brought.

The breeze is blowing nice and strong,

We hope to be on a page that all would throng.

The languid wings of air still carry the scent,

Of his sweetheart long after she went………………………

Splintered twosome

Lover each parted their mutual ways,

Tears for them cause misty sprays.

Cold grew them both,

Love amid them was now an old growth.

Years of tenderness love a garland weaved,

Away their love, parted hearts now bereaved,

Bereft them parted strained in love ,

Stripped of glow and devoid of heavenly grace from above.

Lover each parted their mutual ways,

Tears for them cause misty sprays.

Cold grew them both,

Love amid them was now an old growth.

As sorrow seeps across their face,

the dew of the morn shuns the warmth of the day deface.

Lover each parted their mutual ways,

Tears for them cause misty sprays.

Cold grew them both,

Love amid them was now an old growth.

For  days to come both, they would grieve,

Make believe a straight face ,for all to deceive,

But deep within their hearts that broke,

A dim flame of emotions still lies awoke.

Lover each parted their mutual ways,

Tears for them cause misty sprays.

Cold grew them both,

Love amid them was now an old growth.

A score late were parted lovers to meet,

Wonder how they were to greet,

With frozen silence and tear dried face,

Wonder if those feelings could they erase.

Pain drenched brow would seem to show,

The wrinkles with pain the deeper that they grow.

Lover each parted their mutual ways,

Tears for them cause misty sprays.

Cold grew them both,

Love amid them was now an old growth.

An ode to Rita & Maddie(27/10/11)

By Sashi Prabhu(ZEAUOXIAN)

Wade through the lake’s water so shallow,

A woman & a man hands entwined like a gallow.

Wade did she,

Wade did he.

Above their necks the furious waters rose,

Trod they together steps softly with no morose,

Spellbound they moved without a care,

Deeper and deeper where no one would dare.

Trod they further unto the middle they reached,

Realized she now an early vow she had breached,

No further she could wade,

But bitter memories afar  refrained they to fade.

Drifting by now so weak was she,

So clasped them eyelids so all she could see was he,

A time came on when a boat roared by,

A wave it created ,it washed her eyes.

The heady din grown a was peaking,

Alas! Her dream was at an end that she was seeking.

The fingered band, beacon it began,

 A time had come her life to regain.

Realized, she that moments spent in love,

 Will fly away now like the dove.

Struck her like a bolt to her love away,

Will he take me home today?

Guessed she by now that the time was over for her space,

And on the pathway her love left behind in a cold place.

A now thinks she that dwells in another dimension,

Poor man left aghast to brood and fate too cruel to mention.

Long lost lover’s lament

(31/10/2011…@mickey’s colva.)

By SashiPrabhu(Zeauoxian)

I cried & cried until my eyes, they dried,

Could not stop and I  cried & cried ,

From my heart I cried in utter despair,

I cried till all was unsure and pain uncompare.

It world through my eyes it seems so unclear,

Feelings and emotions to me all queer.

The whispering wind a sutle din,

As my heart was filled with sorrow to the brim.

I cried & cried until my eyes, they dried,

Could not stop and I  cried & cried ,

From my heart I cried in utter despair,

I cried till all was unsure and pain uncompare.

I cried & cried until my eyes, they dried,

I know not why but I  cried & cried.

Sorrowed dirge it’s lament made me cry,

For gone had she afar as I watched standing by.

Now no more blue the sky seems to me,

Black darkness looms whenever I see.

Those chirps of the birds afar I hear,

A distance I have moved away from my dear.

I cried & cried until my eyes, they dried,

Could not stop and I  cried & cried ,

From my heart I cried in utter despair,

I cried till all was unsure and pain uncompare.

None to clasp my hand a tight,

None to cuddle me to make me feel all right,

None to look forward to when I return home,

No one to keep me company ,bemoan!

I cried & cried until my eyes, they dried,

Could not stop and I  cried & cried ,

From the bottom of my heart I cried in utter despair,

I cried till all was unsure and pain uncompare.

I cried & cried until my eyes, they dried,

Could not stop and I  cried & cried ,

Alone on a beach shack is too much to bear,

For my sweetheart, I wish she was there.

I cried & cried until my eyes, they dried,

Could not stop and I  cried & cried ,

The sands were hot & the sun was high,

Not a moment shorn of her in my thoughts has gone by.

I cried & cried until my eyes, they dried,

Could not stop and I  cried & cried ,

From my heart I cried in utter despair,

I cried till all was unsure and pain uncompare.

I cried & cried until my eyes, they dried,

Could not stop and I  cried & cried ,

now they say its life, you got to move on,

But her sweet memories they still haven’t gone.

And now I am breathing a life a new,

But there are only moments in a day I like a few,

The pangs of sorrow ,they are still more to ebb,

The solitary feelings ,plead go away I beg.

As time has passed I now seek to live,

And all my love I entreat to give.

But who will want to be a pained,

Don’t think I have my strength regained.

here u are Subha.

·        

here you are ,Subha,

gasp to know if you knew it, Subha,

tell me it's all right and now it's all over, Subha,

wish you could hear,my heart beat oh Subha,

wish it was yours , but it has to be mine, Subha,

i have but one enduring wish, Subha,

that ill always be me and always be true, Subha,

just to clasp your hand,Subha,

& my love for you will always be true..Subha

away you are from my feeling reach, Subha

and life alone has something to teach, Subha,

lonliness does fill the space u filled, Subha,

blankness a blanket it draws to be draped of joys killed, Subha,

the weary path awaits your steps,

the throbbing heart alone itis kept,

a hand that quivers the eyes that are bloodshot,

thank the wind that have u next to me  brought.

here you are ,Subha,

gasp to know if you knew it, Subha,

tell me it's all right and now it's all over, Subha,

Dark thoughts

28/10/11(home)

By Sashi.Prabhu(ZEAUOXIAN)

Behold! unto me it will ever so cling,

Often wonder why it lingers on with me,

Untold, it is to make the church bell ring,

Akin to a dark shadow it owns the locked key.

Unchain it from my body please,

Unfathomable within me are it’s depth,

A quest so forceful will be the need as is,

To get to , where fate has it kept.

Up above for it we peeked and looked,

Down below for it we did search,

Alas! The icy claws had it hooked,

Solitude the path to rock in from it’s perch.

Forward,I aired with calming mind,

Ahead I moved with a stance so soft,

Frozen heart now melted to be kind,

My thoughts they said by now were aloft.

Reflect I practiced every morn for sure,

Pondered much I for every need,

Pure Thought, me knew was the only cure,

For  now all that is put forward is pure deed.

Content am I with my present self,

Away has travelled the devlish reign,

Calm is my mind content in itself,

Dark thoughts they say I must abstain.

Every morn ,now it awaits for me,

To a cool breeze and a warm smile,

And when I look out so green is the tree,

My life they see has just begun to be worthwhile.
