The most painful moments descend
When I helplessly and silently watch my
own heart go numb
Not long ago, it's radiance shared every color
But now all emits is monochrome
An excruciating ache takes me over
Every time, I gaze upon the
Once cradle of my emotions and love
Now, turn into just a lump of muscle
which beats only for the flow of blood

I really don't know what made you leave me behind
or the actions of me that pushed you there
but I do know
the bottomless love you thrown away,
Eyes that admired your smile endlessly,
Ears that was desperate round the clock to hear your voice,
Nose that eagerly hoped to catch your fragrance even out of thin air,
A heart that gushed blood faster everytime it saw you,
The lips that blushed hardly, everytime it chanted your name,
Legs that moved eagerly to tag along with your path,
The hands and a back that longed to carry your burden,
And a brain that always had you in subconscious state.
Even with all these if you aren't convinced
Maybe I was incapable of making you notice them

Even now, this tattered parchment and my lousy language are not even a bit worthy
To convey her beauty and elegance to this Earth
How could a simple glass of water convey the
prettiness of great sea
How could a single cherry flower convey the
warmth and comfort of the whole spring
How could a sole feather show the world about the
graceful plumage of Pheonix
How could one distant light be a representative of the
radiant, bright and cheerful star
How could I, someone who got flabbergasted with
just a glimpse of her, pen down the ethereal beauty of her
The more I try to cramp it in my cheesy lines on pages;
the more my pen halts,
the faster sweat rolls to my cheeks
the higher my fear of missing things about her grows
In the end, It became clear that neither the papers nor me
is worthy of letting the world read about her gorgeousness
and pleasing appearance
Her dazzle turned a "man in love" into a mad in "love"

No angel is born in hell
and no devil is cradled in heaven
yet somehow an angel can possess a hellish charm
and a devil can possess an angelic smile

Love, love at first sight
Saw her under the moonlight
I just can't think straight
Went sleepless the whole night
She struck me like storm and thrown me off guard
Days without staring at her are surprisingly too hard
My heart is inflicted every minute with the thoughts of her
And with time ticking away the pain sever
Without realization I had exhausted all my affection
Giving her every bit of my attention
Every simplest of her pouts
Raises " Is she a angel" kinda of doubts
Just a flip of her hair
Turns out to pull me out of my despair
At the end my heart feels both
Grateful to experience such fluttering feelings
And troubled to think about me and her future dealings

when our eyes met for the first time,
i experienced something very euphoric,
triggering a riot of wings in my chest
as moments slipped away,
this feeling only grew much stronger
but little did i know that,
this would change the course of my aimless soul
she was lovely as a crescent moon cradling the dark
her voice was sweet as rain on parched earth
her smile was the thing I'd remember when everything else faded
and the universe, for once, was kind enough to let her love me back
but life, indifferent and vast, had other plans
and just like that, the story flipped its own page
my dream now slowly faded away
my heart became a page torn from the only book i loved
i love her still, the way the moon loves the sea,
faithfully, from a distance, like a prayer the silence swallowed
is this affection, or a gorgeous ruin I refuse to mend?
and so I keep her where no distance can reach
in memory, where she is still mine
her final glance, forever etched in time

Icy flakes waver through the breeze
and waltzing along each other
The sight of children giggling and goofing
around the streets is straight out of the art
At this time of the year, the happiness is contagious
But God why am I immune
The trees breathe refreshingly with letting
go of all it carried
Lays atop the shelves are the swords that
till date only parried
At this time of the year, the peace and harmony returned
But God why isn't the relief reaching out to me
The clothing and lifestyle of winter gladly
makes people warm
Even the ground and soil sheltered under the snow rests
careless of any harm
At this time of the year, The heart's unease drops with
the temperature
But God Why only my heart deviates from normality
Oh well now I get it
Unlike now, once this coldest season brought my heart joy
But then God, you had her beside me
And now I can only dream in despair about the word 'we'

Every path ends with you, even the paths i carved to forget you.
We became strangers with memories, hearts which were once held by each other.
Once really close, but now worlds apart.
Our love which was once true and dreamy faded away like a dying star.
Where once was a lock- tight, intimate, and eternal,
there is now only the cold avoidance of light.
A surrendered gaze.
Even if i brought the stars down our love could never work out again.
but there is a small flicker of hope deep in my heart that we could make this work.

Outside my window abides a bench.
An empty bench!
Buried in dust and filth.
Little did I know,
the storms it endured,
the moments of sentiments,
the wretchedness of hearts,
the weathers of love.
Little did I know,
the flaked paint
adding prime to its charm.
I wonder...
Does it miss anyone?
