I see people on the streets on their phones,
Saying they have everything figured out,
Their shadows linger behind,
They tell a different story,
One of pain and silence,
Too many quiet nights,
Flashbacks to the pain,
Their shadows have always been there,
They will never leave your side.

Away from you a year has passed,
They all tell me " happy new year!! "
The end of a year I survived with fear,
How much I tried to hide that tear,  

Away from you like desert and rain,
In the wish to see you I go through pain,
Not knowing it is in vain that I wait,  
As you are now an enemy to my state,  

The rain didn't come the desert turned dead,
I smiled before now I'm depressed instead,  
Gave you my heart not using my head,  
I love you I'll never regret what I said,

My love for you was extremely deep,
I was crazy in love but not  a creep,
Wishing to see you in every dream,
If I don't see you tonight  forever I'll sleep,

She was here.
She told me how she'd always love me.
It was clear
I was the man in her life.
Why didn't she stay?

I opened up my heart to sorrow,
Not knowing there was no tomorrow.

She was gone
Before I knew.
It hit me hard,
Knocked out my lights,
Quicker than a heartbeat,
Faster than the speed of a lie.

She was here.
I knew she'd have my back always.
It was clear
I would always have her back.
Then, she went away.

She left no way for me to follow.
It happened fast - bitter pill to swallow.

She was gone
Before I knew.
It hit me hard,
Knocked out my lights,
Quicker than a heartbeat,
Faster than the speed of a lie.

It would be better,
If I could only say she had been untrue,
But at the time, I don't even think she knew,
That standing beside me was the one thing she could never do.

All at once my heart was hallow,
Echos of love, my heart is fallow.

She was gone
Before I knew.
It hit me hard,
Knocked out my lights,
Quicker than a heartbeat,
Faster than the speed of a lie.

We love that someone to a point where we are afraid to blink ,  just  in case the happiness of our life disappears in a blink .

- Something a lover would say [1]

As the world goes above dimension,  
With buses more station,  
The people and their pension,  
Too poor to pay attention,  

Between borders rise tension,
And we all need good intention,
While tears in precipitation,  
Our world in classification,  

Tell the soldiers to cut retaliation ,
We all need better communication,  
Peace needs a declaration,  
Complexity must turn to simplification,

One human race like one nation,
Why bizarre things bring separation,
Not only crossing lines but invasion,  
Stop right now we need concentration,

The oppressed must be under protection,
In the world we need active participation,
We understand we don't need explanation,
Too sad now so we need more exclamation,  

And that's how things start working,  
NewWorldation

I love you
not because
you're good looking

I love you
not because
you're caring

I love you
not because
you dote on me

I love you
not because
your smiles are sweet

I love you
not in lust
of your crevice
or orifice
or skin

I love you
because
without you
I feel

incomplete within.

Every bad has some good in it
like silver line round the cloud
a bad isn't bad every bit
has something to make feel proud.

One night on a rainy day
out on my aimless roam
saw a koi that lost its way
caught it and brought it home.

In a bucket it lived two years
no way I would ever regret that
had I on that day chosen to stay clear
it would have been taken by a cat.

Once she bought a bird cheap
back home we soon found out
surely it wasn't a prized keep
was lame in one leg no doubt.

But be sure we chose not at all a wrong
the foot though not cured healed a lot
the budgie would not have lasted long
had its lameness prevented to be bought.
