1. To Know some one
All it takes -
One spark
One moment
A careless thought
One comment
to notice someone.
All you need -
One habit
One trait
A secret shared
One common fate
to know the someone.
All it takes -
One dream
One fight.
A silent pact
One smile
to make someone special.
4. Poems by Nimue
All you need -
One bond
One realization
A decision made
One relation
to be some one's forever.

2. Looking back
Today when I look back
I see not you and me
nor do i notice faces;
All I see are emotions
at war ; at play ;
loving some ; few of hate;
Feelings having coffee
with those of others;
or dressing up
for unwelcome occasions.
All I feel is nothing,
not unless you provoke me
to test my limits;
or maybe just re-live
what it is to have feelings.

3. Let me
Let me help you please
to share your pains
Let me try at least
to break these chains.
Will you try at least
to let go of the sad cloak
Will you please
Allow our hopes to float.
Will you please
step out in sunshine
Will you at least
try to forge a smile.
Let me try at least
to hold your hands
let me for once please
take you to dream land.
7. Poems by Nimue
Together we can
If you please
Just listen to your heart
or mine at least.

4. The corner bench
The empty bench in the corner
calls for people passing by
any one please,
just for a moment,
but everyone hurries by..
Before, mornings brought the bunch of old
sharing their wisdom
to anyone who asked, or cared
or sometimes making fun of each other
anything to pass the dawning boredom.
In afternoon, the ladies sat there close
waiting for the kids to return
boasting of the men folk at home
or passing the rumors, the maids told,
something to talk in and out of their turn.
9. Poems by Nimue
The evening was time when couples sat
and made their promises count
by talking of the days gone by
of missed hours , nostalgic songs
and of the love that was forever around.
The old are now dead, the kids moved to college,
new mothers do not come to the stop
and maids just stand staring at shops,
the lovers parted ways like paint
that made the bench a ugly spot.

5. Sacred hope
In the fraction of time
when eyelids meet
and open wide again
i whisper a secret desire
that you would hear me
deep in your heart
and send your smiles
to keep my hopes alive....
In the fraction of time
that passes silently
amidst lub dub of heart
i steal a sacred hope,
that you never will
part me from your life
and that my trust in you
will never ever be lost.
11. Poems by Nimue
In the fraction of time
when wind brushes past
making my hair fly
i cherish the feeling
of your cares and love
that always shows up
at most needed times
your sacred blessings.
I whisper this secret desire
to steal the sacred hope
of the cherished feeling
of your existence, forever.

6. Ashes of night
Each day, the same dream
I set the table with flowers
you bring in some fine wine;
I light the scented candles
you spread all over, the fire;
a cruel laugh rings in my ear
as i wake up to ashes of night.
13. Poems by Nimue
7. Let Peace be found
Tears don't fall
no longer they do,
words don't collate
when i write to you.
Expectations shy away
feelings are enslaved,
fears reign my heart
emotions are encased.
Numerous thoughts flow
through the sieves of time
i cling to the past notions
as realities come out of hide.
Spare me from illusions
guide me some way out
help me make a stand
let peace be now found.

8. Take Over
paint it black
the memory
of the yellow flower
i loved so much;
empty from my sense
the smell of the
brown damp mud
after the first rains;
wipe off my lips
the lingering taste
of the first coffee
i had with my love;
shred into pieces
the yellowed pages
on which i first
wrote a poem;
15. Poems by Nimue
And then i shall
let you take over
each cell of my mind
to fill it with stuff
that’s forbidden
otherwise.
16. Poems by Nimue
9. Words that inspire
Few lines you wrote
May be fiction, guess not;
It was a trigger to my mind
and i write on same lines;
Your words seem to talk
to the hidden feelings i walk
as if i finally found voice
in thoughts of your choice.
Beyond the borders of space
some random lines I chase
to give me a sense of being
that I am not alone in this dream.
17. Poems by Nimue
10. Feeding light
From shadows
the soul shines,
smiles,killing
the darkness
inside..
You hear cries ?
Check again
the once loved
ties,now they
crawl away,
touched by
your lies.
But the soul
smiles,shines,
finally I will
feed it light.
18. Poems by Nimue
11. Boundaries
I at times
sit and wonder
where i draw line
in my words,
thoughts,
ideas,
any where...
Then I have
the task
to erase
those lines
and walk beyond
one less bond each time...
19. Poems by Nimue
12.Thinking of you
I trace your initials with finger tip
on the misty glass, wet from rains;
Across this veil the world moves on
and i sit here,forgotten by all yet
breathing few hopes into my fingers
that trace and erase your name again
as if some miracle might bring you here
and I would feel your hands on mine
tracing my name onto your heart
with a whisper that will echo between
you and me;tied by love in the eyes.
The glass is clear;people stare at me
I smile back at them,looking for their pain
that I might write,trying not to think of you.

13.Yellow
a leaf turned yellow dry
the ugly veins revealed
branches let it free to fly
a leaf turned yellow dry
I picked it up passing by
it thought it was beautiful.
a leaf turned yellow dry
the ugly veins revealed.
bit by bit the leave fades
brittle pieces falling apart,
with my fingers i trace
bit by bit the leave fades
filling my fingers’ space
the leaf breathed his last.
bit by bit the leave fades
brittle pieces falling apart.
21. Poems by Nimue
The remains I store in a book
to remind me how it will be
when I fly to another nook
The remains i store in a book
Hope you will realize that i took
lot less than what life gave me.
The remains i store in a book
to remind me how it will be.

14.Rains make a poet
"Little Kinchen want to play"is all I remember from years backa ruled sheet and pencil in hand.
The dictionary searched harddesperate to find unknown wordsand string them together like pearls.
It rained hard outside the windowI wonder if that's why I was indoorsbut i know that poem took me some hours.
It was just eight random linesto ask rains to stop and not returnchildren was so boring, so "kinchen"
I don't know why I never wrote againit never just occurred to me i couldand now each day i feel, I should.

15.Close
I could smell your love
and read the silence
riding your smile;
We were that close
for once and forever;
I could touch your dreams
and hold the unsaid
wish of your eyes;
Trapped inside the frame
we remain close forever.
