Straight from my heart...

A migratory bird!!   I had feelings towards, Only one woman so far, But she was one of the migratory birds, Who disappeared into the limitless sky afar, I wanted to tell her a lot, I needed just one chance, She was the only one I sought, And I wanted to ask her out for the prom dance, Two days before the prom celebration, In school, I kept searching for her, I badly wanted to seek her attention, But I just couldn’t find her, The next morning I woke, And heard the news of a major, local, accident, Of it, even my neighbours spoke, But I didn’t bother, to school I went, I reached school; there was silence all around, I wondered, where are the others, I saw a few crowded on the ground, And there I saw, the torn and tattered body of hers, I began crying profusely, How can she die so young, I wanted to commit suicide really, As I heard her favourite song being sung, I realized, we are mere birds migratory, About the future no one can tell, My love is re...

You are my soul!! When I wake up, the first thing I do, Is think of spending my day with you, Before I sleep, the last thing I do, Is mentally wish a good night to you,   Even when I am asleep, It’s you, who comes in my dreams, My feelings for you run deep, You are my soul, it seems, I want you to be with me, You are the one my heart constantly misses, If this isn’t what love is, I don’t know what else love could be, By your beauty I am hypnotized, I am attracted to your nature too, My love story will be immortalized, If it’s with an angel like you,   You complete me, you make me whole, With you my smile will last forever, I can’t get you off my mind ever, Coz you are immersed in me, you are my soul……….

A sacred odyssey!! Love is not a game, Of musical chairs, Where one achieves attention and fame, By having multiple affairs, Love is a sacred odyssey, Where with each other, People swear to be, In this birth and forever, Yet love is at the nadir, and, Lust at the crest, Now I am beginning to understand, Why couples need a loyalty test, In love, tears are so common, That I don’t have empathy anymore, Casual sex keeps happening so often, It’s as if one is living with a whore, Hardly any love story is eternal, No one keeps the promises, That’s why love is ephemeral, Worth only a handful of kisses, Don’t we know, love is a sacred odyssey, It should be an unbreakable bond, Yet nothing can stop the infidelity really, Neither a magic potion nor a potent wand………

Where there’s a will…..!! Whenever you are parched with thirst, Remember, there will always be water for survival, Give your best, and in your abilities always trust, And remember, God will be there at your disposal, You should never worry, About what tomorrow has to offer, As long as you are happy, And spend today, as you always did desire, There will be times when fate might make you, Restless and crestfallen, and for solitude you’ll long, You might feel you haven’t received your due, But be patient, you’ll come out strong, Do not be daunted by small things, The road ahead may be rocky and steep, But you can fly, for you have the wings, And remember, you are meant to take that giant leap, Luck be with you, go for the kill, Be optimistic, every moment, every day, And keep reaching for the summit, coz where there’s a will, There will always be a way……….

It’s complicated!! I try hard to forget you, Yet a part of me, Still wants to be with you, It’s all complicated, really, You said so easily, To let go all the romantic feeling, That I felt about you, every moment, daily, As since then, a way to forget you, I keep seeking, I kept telling myself, That I am mentally strong, I’ll soon be my former self, This depression won’t last long, In few days, I felt I had gotten over your face, Yet there was an awkward moment, When I passed by the place, Where the first time we went, It’s hard to forget the first crush, Harder coz it’s an angel like you, That’s why I still blush, When someone still teases me about you, By now, my love should have faded, I should have been happy for you, I should have come to terms with your decision, But in reality, it’s all complicated, I want to stop loving you, Yet a part of me, Still keeps craving for you, It’s all complicated, I can’t explain really………..

You complete me!! The first time I met you, I never quite thought, I would fall in love with you, But as the time flew, My feelings for you grew, As today I am certain, It would be the greatest pain, If I were to spend my life without you, During the first few weeks, I thought of you as some over-sincere girl, Almost one of the boring geeks, But then I realized I was wrong, As you turned out to be a pearl among, The bunch of pebbles lying around, And today I crave for your sound, Your eyes, and even your dimpled cheeks, I teased you about your past crushes, And you always took it sportingly, I loved to see your innocent blushes, Coz that’s when you looked the prettiest, That’s when your smile was the cutest, For me, now you are more than a friend, You complete me, and I want to spend, My life with you, without any glitches, I dream of you, all the while, Night and day, everyday, I dream of your cute, dimpled smile, I want to ask you out, but I am one of...

I pass by her home!! I pass by her home, And suddenly I feel all alone, My world crashes down, And I am left with a defeatist frown, I see her through the window, She sees me, and then she does go, Slamming the window, like a kid wild, As my heart lacerates from the inside, I pass by the restaurant where we ate, On our first official date, The owner gaily waves at me, Surprised, for my love he didn’t see, The road I am walking on, surrounded by trees, Is filled with countless memories, Many a time we had walked there, But about its serenity, now I don’t care, I pass by the ice-cream parlour, Where we had our first kiss together I recollect, it was a hot day in may, And one I think of, everyday, I pass by the beach tempting and blue, Where we often sat, as the time flew, I remember our walks in the rain, Alas, some things won’t be the same again, I feel an unstoppable pang of pain, As my mind is filled again, With thousand happy, yet past me...

Funereal feeling!! I am lost in the wilderness of the sea, And I just can’t let go, Of this funereal feeling, this woe, Overcoming loneliness is tough, But its extent, I just didn’t know, I stare outside at the magnificent sunset, I see the waves splashing, In the wind, the trees are swaying, But the beauty doesn’t excite me, As I just can’t let go of this funereal feeling, I have all the money I need, But no one to spend it with, I am trying hard to be blithe, But for the time being, It's this funereal feeling I am living with, I feel nostalgic about my glorious past, The friends with whom I grew, When every moment I experienced joy true, But now I can’t let go of the funereal feeling, As I wish for a beginning new, My real wealth has long been gone, The superficial wealth doesn’t bring happiness, That’s why I am in disarray and utter distress, Badly seeking my wife and friends, Filled with funereal feeling, my life’s a mess, Today’s a ...

Women!!   Beyond their external, visible beauty, We just do not see women, As we so easily overlook often, Their courteous nature, their impeccable character, Their talent, skills and capability, We compliment their fair skin, Their gorgeous eyes, their innocent smile, But it’ll take a while, Before we start appreciating them for who they are, How much longer is yet to be seen, Men are such hypocrites and double-faced, They tell the world, women are equal, Yet many wouldn’t marry a girl, Earning more than them, Alas the male dominance will never be erased, We talk about women empowerment, Their achievements, their progress, Yet quite a few despise their partner’s success, Some don’t even let their wives work, As down the drain goes the women liberation movement, A woman has always been oppressed, She’s always been subjugated, For a change she has always waited, That unfortunately never took place, As she daily wishes she were dead, We superficially ...

That last look!! I have tried to put behind, All those memories forever, But that last look lingers, In my otherwise forgetful mind, I try to forget the past, Coz it’s the future that’ll last, Yet I can’t forget that last look, And every single step, that while parting she took, My life’s a dingy pit, Bleak, drab and nondescript, I want this phase to end, But there’s just no road ahead, I can’t forget the last look, And every single step, that while parting she took, Or her blatant goodbyes, As I was left with teary eyes, I remember every word she spoke, As every piece of my heart, She so callously broke, Piercing it with an intangible dart, I can’t forget that last look, And every single step, that while parting she took, As she slammed my door, Leaving me all bruised and sore, What was my fault, my mistake, For her, I could have put my life at stake, I had wanted to be with her, In this birth and forever, It’s been an year, I want to forg...
