I don't

I don't close my eyes,
because, when
I close my eyes,
I see her in my dreams.

I don't open my message inbox,
because, when
I open it,
I expect her message to arrive.

I don't utter a single word,
because, when
I speak,
I speak only about her.

I don't write a single word,
because, when
I write,
I eulogize her.

I don't go out,
because, when
I wish to do so,
I expect her to come with me.

I don't read a single word,
because, when
I read,
I want to read her name.

Was it U Or Was It Us?

When I looked at you someone whispered

From the heavens above He affirmed

Was it you or was it us?

Felt everything so picturesque since then

Time flies and so does love

Just for you my feelings began to grow

What it you or was it us?

Just like dew drops on a leaf flow

Last mile definitely made the difference

When I look back at my life journey

Was it you or was it us?

Now on it feels much easier to walk with you honey

World simply calls it a “Marriage”

But some kind of miracle happened by His grace

Was it you or was it us?

It gave the word “Marriage” a much better face.

Try Again!

I Stood on the shore all alone,

No one there to hear my cries,

I couldn't bear things going off my hands,

Even after giving thousands of tries.

A tear dropped off my eyes,

and mixed with the sea,

I wished I could find it back again,

'coz it was the only thing that belonged to me.

I moved ahead a few steps,

Till the water reached my knees,

Thoughts of suicide crossed my mind,

So that, from this useless body, I can set my soul free.

But my principles forced me back to the shore,

'coz this was not what I had lived for,

And death hasn't conquered me yet,

So I had unlimited attempts still to go.

I saw a ray of hope emerging from the sea,

And I showed my back to all the Pains,

I promised to try a still little harder,

And never to give up but TRY AGAIN.

A Beautiful Mind

The deep dark alleys of the mind, long and unwinding to the core,

A few we know so well , some , yet to explore,

Beautiful memories of yesterday, are hidden in a shrine,

Yet there are those that hurt, it’s a bittersweet galore.

There's a search for some answers, yet a few questions arise,

The need to forget some, oh but the urge to know more,

And a few virgin by lanes, a mystery to the core.

A few dark desires, some shine with light divine,

An unending noise in some, a few ring with a melodic chime,

There's a will to succeed, yet the weakness to give in to crime,

There's a belief in eternity, yet the fear of running out of time.

Secrets dwell deep inside, never shall they come to the fore,

A needless hate for some, yet there are those we adore,

A sense of wonder, a moment of fear,

A subconscious smile, a forced tear,

They're all treasured here -  emotions of every kind,

It’s a treacherous place, yet such a beautiful mind.

We All

In the midst of recession,

Let’s seek concession in our tension.

It’s been a long way for Lay off’s,

Let’s just relax and Pull off.

Changing times are giving importance to election,

To put at bay the act of terrorism.

Would a new Leader bring stir in a nation?

Or it’s just to add agony in the present situation.

With the invasion of internet, the world became flat,

Our cultures have renewed, so are our perceptions.

Social networking sites are used for communication,

The lifestyle we adopt is so lonely and unsecured,

Trusting faceless friends over chat has become a common notion.

Relationships earlier so strong,

Now expire just walking along.

To be in the rat race, we exploit our innocence,

Money and material make us flatter,   

We feel nothing else matter.

Search for comfort and luxury it all takes,

To rebel with others and overtake.

Is there any threshold limit to desires?

However, believing in the course of destiny cannot be our way.

Every situation is make or break,

To survive it might seem a hardest way.

Bell Rings Once a Year

A crystal punch bowl

Sparkles in the Candlelight

The freshness of the heart can fall like Dew

In this winter night.

The year has passed

When thy heard the bell

In the name of thee,

Let’s listen the sound of magic

Making our day and year bright.

When you grow old and gray,

Open the book and say

The words you heard every year

May come and bless you

Over the night.
