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....

FOR SHE IS....

Beautiful and Strong As a Diamond In The Rough,
Resilient and Firm As Iron In Fires Of Catastrophe,
Giving And Protective Like Shade Of A Tree In Blistering Heat Of Life's Upheavals,
Nurturing And Soothing Like The Flow Of A Mountain Stream,
Life Is She..For She Created It,
Love Is She....For She Portrays It,
Beauty Is She...For She Exists...
I Am She...And Proud To Be..

SILVER LINING...

Never Seeing You Again Is Like Fires of Hell Burning My Insides, 

Never Hearing Your Voice Is Like a Deafening Scream Echoing Through My Mind..

As I Wander Along the Maze Of Life,

Looking For Peace and Love In My Life...

I Walk Alone...With Your Shadow Next To Mine...

Feel Your Presence like A Soothing Balm on Wounds of Time, 

Like A Silver Lining To The Dark Clouds Of Despair And Pain..

Like A Rainbow Across The Sky After Storms Of Bad Times..

Your Strength an Amour In This Battlefield Called Life,

Your Love Teaching Me To Wield The Sword Of Goodness And What Is Right..

Your Smile Breaking Through the Prism Of Oblivion,

Waves Of Reality Swirl Around The Sand Castles Of My Dreams..

Erasing Some, Changing Some Till No Traces Remain To Sight, 

Your Hands Firm against Mine Rebuilding Those Dreams Every Time,

Bigger And Better, Glittering With Renewed Hope And Pride..

At Crossroads We Part, As The Rules Of The Game Demand..

Each Holding The Others' Heart Like A Precious Jewel Never To Be Lost..

Till We Cross Over the Other Side, Our Paths Might Never Meet Again,

But Our Souls Would Never Be Apart...
