Like an Eternal Love Song..

Immense peace is what i feel with you,
your firmness embracing my softness as if never to let go...
sweet lethargy seeps into my veins when i am close to you,
Aches and pains vanishing at your magical touch...
sheer bliss fills up my senses, my mind full of dreams alone,
Oh your nearness clouds my mind..grays of reality seem just a mirage...
As i walk along the warpath of life, 
your selfless giving.. a balm to my wounds,
forever and ever, my darling bed..
you and I..are meant to be together,
like an eternal love song.....

A Walk In The Dark...

Cloudy dark night,
Moon..just a sliver of silver in the sky,
Sounds of crickets...a live concert of nature,
As i walk alone...in this dark path called life....
Scent of jasmine,almost overwhelming my senses,
Sweetness outside calling out to the bitterness within...
Blackness of my thoughts,blinding me almost,
Chained down by them..i reach towards the light...
That brightness of love n peace that seems to call to my soul,
Beckoning me to walk towards that ray of moonlight...
The only savior in this dark black night....
As i walk alone along this lonely path called life......

Like An Jilted Lover...

You kept me up all night,
Makin' me hot n sweaty the whole long long night,
Tried to sleep but you snatched away my right to dream,
Distracting me with your antics,
Making me forget its a working night....
Without mercy, you played hide and seek,
A jilted lover avenging justice...
Now, with the sun pushing his weight around,
You still insist on torturing me some more...
Have mercy..for old times sake i beg,
Don't act funny throughout the day, i request
Make peace not war...
Not just me but whole of the city adores you more so...
Oh darlin' electricity...please love me some more...
Don't drive me crazy no more!!

One Love....

Loving you doesn't make me hate you less,

Hating you doesn't take away the pain....

Like a drifter seeking shelter in a storm,

You walked into my heart,

Only to vanish back into the dark...

Taking with you the light of life away,

Leaving my soul marred...

Dare I trust another stranger not to stab at these open wounds, I wonder...

Dare I not fall back into the despairing abyss of hurt you left behind, the thought thunders..

Like a dying flame seeking breath of soul,

My essence seeks you, my heart cries for you...Only you...my One Love..Only Love

UNTITLED

The More I Cry, the More I Smile...
The More I Fall, the More I Rise...
I Live, For I Appreciate This Precious Gift,
I Love, For I Believe It Exists...
Every Day May Not Be Perfect,
Every Moment Tells A Thousand Tales,
Of Struggles, Pain And Of Victories Galore..
Each a Lesson Held Close To the Heart,
And So I Smile Through the Tears,
For Life's Too Short To Worry About the Journey,
When The Final Destination Is Same For All....
