Just let everything be...
Take one moment at a time,
Take a deep breath. ...
Baby!..All you gotta do is try.

I promise....
I'll hold your hand,
Clutch it as hard as you want.
Sync your breathing with mine,
Baby!...all you gotta do is try.

I'll be your support system,
I'll be your fan.
I'll be your teddy bear,
Even punching bag....I swear!.
Have faith in the faith I have in you.
Just hold on...
Baby...all you gotta do is try.

We'll face it together,
Two peas in a pod.
You're my key card baby,
I'm your slot.
You are me and I'm you,
Let's just stick together...
We'll be through.
One step...one breath.
One moment at a time...
Baby. ..all you gotta do is try.

I'll carry your burden,
You'll carry mine...
There's nothingto lose,
The pleasure will be mine.
Just let me hold you...
That's all I crave.
Don't be ashamed to be vulnerable,
It's a done deal...
I'm yours....You're not getting any say.
Let me be with you baby...
All I'm asking you to do is Try!.

You and me a team,
Us against the world.
Finishing each other's sentences,
Sometimes even the words.

The play of the king and the knight,
Choosing the weapons,
A sword and a knife.
Rough house play room,
And the adorable way we used to fight.

Two halves of one heart,
Not angels nor demons could pull us apart.
Indulgence of weird cravings,
Not leaving the other behind.

Holding the eye contact a bit longer.
The connection between us started to strengthen.
The desire and longing I started to feel.
One touch of yours could make my bruises heal.
Hanging over your every word..
Oh baby you did,
You pierced me with your beloved sword.
The weapon of my choice remained forgotten.
Just like our love being forbidden.

The foundation we built,
Couldn't hold itself ..
The storm inside you broke everything ,
Destroyed it in the process.
Collapsing...meeting the dust.
The friendship of ours begun to rust.

I gave you my heart,
Left it in your feet.
I started to move forward,
You started to retreat.

Now,you're back...
Flashing those dimples.
The dynamics of our friendship has changed.
Not quite as simple.
Asking for the second chance.
Don't know I can provide.
Can't hold it inside anymore,
The feelings you want me to hide.
A stranger's face with the familiar eyes.
Memories flashing ...
With your goofy smile.

You pierced my heart once again
But this time with a knife.

What is the meaning?
Of this thing called life.
Where is the existence?
That is mine.

A hard earned trust,
A moment of judgement.
A faith loosing lustre,
A tainted portrait perfection.

An iron clad control,
An emotion sneaking in.
A quietly hidden persona,
An ocean to be dived in.

The projection of expectations,
Dull echo of breathing.
A drifted soul towards,
A friend turns to an enemy.

A trust broken,
A soul shattered.
A bond mutilated,
The one not being a bother.

A game of chess,
Everyone already ahead.
A move of betrayal,
The army half dead.

Sole focus to destroy,
No one even looked back.
The doubt of worth arisen,
but the question left unsaid.
Gulishta Mar 2020
The conversations
we had with our past
Urges us to creat
A better present
But the work load of today
Come on ...
Let's talk our future.
Gulishta Dec 2018
To cherish something you already have,
Is just a matter of paying attention.

To make your surroundings and people around you happy,
Is just a matter of observations.

To have something good to say,
Always,
Is just a matter of respect and understanding.

To provide a companionship without expecting anything in return,
Is just a matter of listening and learning .

To resolve the complications and problems,
Is just a matter of conversations.

To know someone or to see someone to their core,
Is just a matter of letting the person in.

To hold your heart in your hand without caring about getting hurt,
Is just a matter of trusting with completion.
Gulishta May 2019
I know that

        you are waiting

                    For me to say something

                                    Like always.

But this time

        I'm choosing

                     To stay quite.
Gulishta May 2019
Respect comes from inside
No fear can earn it
Prioritiesing is the way
To resolve the conflict
They say this is all
A game of certain
Rules and expectations
Are the proof of
One finding you their own.
Gulishta Jul 2018
I wanna lost myself into the depth of your eyes,
And never come out.
I wanna race through the city,
Climb the tallest building,
To shout out loud.
I wanna ride the giant ferris wheel,
And let my hairs down.
I wanna join the circus,
And see the world upside down.
I wanna spread my arms and fly,
Till I meet the white cloud.
I wanna dance under the moonlight,
With shooting stars ,
And crickets being only sound.
I wanna stay in your arms,
Till I get put into the ground.
Gulishta Dec 2017
I'm sleeping or waking up??.
Whatever it is,I think it's enough.
Reaching across,
The courage to fight.
Is it worth the risk?
That's left to decide .

I'm calm or I'm numb?
I'm empty or ready to burst?
Is this peace that I'm coming from?
Or is it the eye of the storm?

This feeling that surrounds.
My feet above the ground.
I'm walking against the wind,
Every layer coming unwind.

Standing here alone,
Deciding where to go.
Wishing for someone,
To hold hands and to let go.
Gulishta Jul 2021
Eyes wide open
We walked into a nightmare
The life left us all
Though we're still here
The wound bleed
The words cut
The pain underline
The meaning of love
The paths separated
But the fate...the fate remain.
Gulishta Jul 2021
We never truly move on
     We just learn to hide it a little better..
Cause some wounds are on our soul
      That changes the shape of us.
Gulishta Jul 2020
In this constant state
Of hollow emptiness
I long.....
For a messy chaos.
Gulishta Dec 2019
Tired enough to let go
I've learned to breath
Under the water
Accepting that drowning
From this overwhelming
Unrequited desire
Is what meant to be
The thing people called
Fate.
Gulishta Aug 2020
A reason unknown to me,
I see love when you look at me.
Your eyes messy and murky,
But there's no place I'd rather be.
Gulishta Jan 2020
It's the easiest thing in the world
To fall in love...
But keep being in it
It's the toughest of them at all.
Gulishta Dec 2019
Dreams I see
Dreams of you .....with me
Dreams I live
Dreams of us....I see.

Wrapped around my heart
I feel your fingers
Bleeding through
The warmth ....icy.

Deceptive real
Virtual perception
The truth I see
The truth of us....in reality.
Gulishta Aug 2022
Life changed....
      You remained the same...inside my heart....aching...hurting.
       Hole that you left .... gaping....still bleed....making me weak.
      The tears dried ....flow stopped...vision still blurred.
      Three sixty on happiness...pain married sadness... thoughts incoherent.
Gulishta May 2019
It was a mirage,
       A hallucination of my mind.
I was consumed by it,
       From out to inside.

Every step,
      An echo of the last.
Every move,
      Reflection from the past.

The dire sense of responsibility,
Not caring about faith or fidelity.

I sit on my bed,
     I think about you for ages.
I think about our shared past,
     The childhood, the youth.
I think about the present,
      Or the lack of it,if I'm being honest.
I think about the isolated despair,
      That we're currently living in.
I think about the non existing future.

And then,
Slowly. ...slower than slowly..
The world around me started to change.
The possibilities of the possibility is the reality in this world.
In here it went exactly according to the plan.
We didn't loose our innocence or the part our souls.
There wasn't any restrictions or boundaries.
There wasn't any walls between us,
    Didn't have to fight for security.

As world proceeded...
Chip by chip...brick by brick..
It all started to fall,
In this alternative reality..
We didn't knew the sadness. ..but we didn't knew the happiness. .
Everything important lost the lustre.
Every lesson forgotten. .
Every scar vanished...
We were now different personalities.
The bond weakens,
Submitting to the true nature.
You weren't the person I loved ...
I wasn't a person to be loved.

Which one was better?... In between two different realities..
That question remained unanswered.
Gulishta Aug 2020
I put my heart on a line,
Found a friend to confine.
In a conversation about struggle,
And the identity of mine.

Words spoken out of misery,
I catch them in my throat.
Made it crystal in the end,
Breath started with a jolt.

Faith and confidence,
With my hand on my heart.
I made a fool of myself,
A fool out of my want.

But let the ball keep rolling,
Let the bridge keep us apart.
A misplaced walk of desire,
Concluded......in shards.
Gulishta Nov 2017
Watching you from afar,
Waiting for you to notice,
That you are what I wanted.
And everybody can tell it.

I want you to make the move,
Not because I'm shy,
just have something to prove.
We have an unsteady relation.
That I'm sure we both wants to improve.

Because you are everything to me.
Like you are flowing through me.
Like I'm living on you.
Like I came in this world for you.
And right now, just here waiting for you.
Gulishta Jan 2018
The butterflies in my stomach.
Jumping around and dancing is not enough.
The world is shining a little brighter.
My chest feels a little tighter.
This feeling! !..
      Can't contain it inside.
Eyes burning with joy this time.
The pearls flowing out of our eyes.
Don't wanna touch, ,
         What if I'm dreaming like every other time.
Then you hold me in your arms.
        I'm nothing but a piece of you,
That you left behind.
      Oh baby!!! Welcome home.
You are my every prize.
Gulishta Dec 2017
What is it?,
That binds me to you.
What is it?,
That makes me want to be close to you.
What is it?,
That I can't resist.
What is it?,
Without which I'm ceased to exist.
What is it?,
That makes my name sounds different in your voice.
What is it?,
That makes me want to remove every distance.
What is it?
That makes me want to be yours.
What is it?,
That makes me crave these arms of yours.
What is it?,
That I'm wearing like a cloak around me.
What is it?,
That makes me forget me.
Gulishta Sep 2019
Prime and proper
Smile be sober
Blend don't bother
Dull be copper.

Hide
don't let them see
Ride
You will me
Cry
Before you leave
Laugh
If you please.

It's fate
You will be happy
Grow up
Do not be sappy
It's *******
they call it preppy
Oh c'mon
I am your daddy.

Angel
You grew up fast
My pride
You make it last
The struggle
It's part of life
You are
My brightest child.

The weight is yours
Don't let it fall
Don't bother denying
You owe me all.

Eyes
Keep them dry
I've given you wings
Don't  you dare fly.

Time
Let it pass by
You have everything
Why you choose to defy.

The mistake
Was all mine
I've chosen this
With my sane mind

Crumble
if I have to
It's not mine
Even the sacrifice.
Gulishta Jan 2018
Sitting at your door,
Knocking every once in a while.
Waiting for you to open up,
So I could stay there for a while.

Call me an opportunist,
Call me a begger.
Call me your own reflection,
Call me a wager.

Won't go until I met you,
Waiting for it to happen.
Or you can make it easy for me,
Do something about it.

Everything that has to happen,
Is going to happen anyway.
You wanna stand and stare me in the eyes?
Or you can give me your back,
I'll enter from your side.

Being afraid of me,
Won't do you any good.
I'm persistent, stubborn and relentless.

Wanna know who am I? ?
         YOUR DESTINY.
Gulishta Aug 2018
Plaster a fat curve,
Whenever asked to smile.
Mind and heart in shreds,
Being beautiful outside.

Unwanted attention,
Being centre of attraction.
Getting inside my shredded mind,
That's only distraction I seems to find.

Blatant ogling,
Iron clad hold on my waist.
Walking through an exhibition,
As if being the one presented on display.

Abused soul ,
cursed life,
Smile so big in the photograph .
Standing side by side.

A relation on pins and needle,
A bed made of glass shards.
Unacknowledged discomfort,
Sharing the world apart.

Blazing brown eyes,
The hatred inside.
Fingers clenched in fist,
Anger the blood-thirst in disguise.

Unveiling the monster,
Underneath the surface.
Projecting all the charm,
No room to escape.

Trapped in a life long bond,
An exchange of the vow.
Fear ingrained in every bone,
Not seeing an out.

Emotional instability,
No shrink can heal.
Threatening to destroy the destroyed,
To keep the mouth's seal.

The end is near ,
I smell it in your fear.
In the surprise on your face,
When everything turn into haze.

What I miss the most about that day,
The moment you realised,
Why I choose to stay.
Gulishta May 2018
The times I stop myself from trying.
The times I wanted to let fingers fly.
The times I consoled myself after crying.
The times I asked the question "why".

I love you baby!!...with my whole heart.
Wish it was the situation! !...where I could say that.

Holding your hand...I'd pull you down.
Keeping you close....straddling your lap.
Looking into your eyes...no needs for words.
Breathing your scent in...then slowly closing the gap.

You were here...can still feel it.
I closed my eyes...can still taste it.
Never my intention. ..to let you go.
Didn't gave me a choice...you wanted through .

Standing at very point you left.
Knowing you won't be back.
You and me and possibilities. .
Oh ! how I wish....I wish it was.
Gulishta Nov 2017
I never took you seriously,
Never knew what you mean to me.
Everything we shared ,
Showed me how much you cared.
Your possessiveness used to scared me,
Now I wish to see your beautiful eyes staring at me.

Singing with the radio,the sad songs.
Days of dancing in your arms are long gone.
It used to suffocate me,
The way you were always around.
Now I wish to feel your arms on me.

Why did I go made it complicated?
When you were that committed.
Trying looking for something,
that's always been there.
Now I wish to you to be here.
Gulishta Oct 2018
Words are the power,
Words are the pain.
Words are misfortune,
Words are the gain.
  
            Words can heal,
            Words can hurt.
            Words can cure,
            Words can burn.
  
                          Words are friends,
                          Words are feud.
                          Words are beautiful,
                          Words are cruel.

Words cut deep,
Words are stitches.
Words are jewels,
Words are gems.
Words are play,
Words are games.

             Words are puzzles,
             Words are pieces.
             Words are questions,
             Words are the answers.

                               Words are romance,
                               Words are fight.
                               Words are darkness,
                               And ray of light.

Words are war,
Words are love.
Words are weapons.
Words are peace.
  
           Words are authority,
           Words are responsibility.
           Words are complication,
           Words are simplicity.

                             Words are glum,
                             Words are delight.
                             Words are emotions,
                             The greatest high.

Words are poem,
Words are songs.
A constant companion,
And so much more. .

Can you imagine a life without them?.
I honestly can't mine.
Gulishta Jan 2019
I took a step,
           Away from you.
Something pulled me back.
I told myself,
          I'll move on.
Something always held me back.

Was it my curiosity? ?
     Or your unwillingness to comment? ?
Was it my stupidity? ?
     Or your reasonable points for why we shouldn't?.
Was it because it didn't happened? ?
I feel so hanged up and out my mind.
Or was it a plain simple nothing??
Just Something conjured on own my mind.

For this unknown emotion,
       That I feel for you.
For this unnamed relation,
       We are living in.
For this yearning I feel,
       Everytime I'm around you.
For this strangest bond,
       That I've ever seen.

I wanna know...
            Once just once.

What it feels like,
          To be known as you.
What it sounds like,
          To hear from you.
What it seems like,
          To be held by you.
And it actually means,
          To not to be away from you.
YOU
Gulishta Feb 2023
YOU
More than anything,
I'm thankful and I'm elated that I found you.
More than anything
I love the companionship and everything about you.

You are the answer
To my every prayer
You are perfection
Anything else doesn't really matter.

You make me love myself
You make me feel safe.
You make me feel untouchable
As if nothing bad can ever happen.

You made content,
You made feel cherished.
You make it so easy to love you
You are an honest to god miracle.

You are my home,my safe place.
You are everywhere,but still give me space.
You are my hope,and all the good inside.
You are my supporter, roaster on the other side.

You are the other half of my soul
The creator created me with your bone.
I was lost somewhere in the storm
Thank you for being my home.
Gulishta May 2018
You pull me up,
        When I let you down.
I'm the one who float,
        You bring me to the ground.
You are better than me,
        You make me better.
You put us back together,
        Everytime when  I shatter.
I'm the one guilty,
         You are the one who plead.
I'm evolving,
         You are the one who succeed.
I have desire for the wings,
         You are my teether without any string.
You make me stronger,
          When I make you weak.
You are a part of me,
          Without me you can't exist.
I'm understanding,
           You are the depth.
I'm the words ,
            You are the strength.
You are everything,
            That I need and want to have.
Gulishta Oct 2018
You came slowly .....
       With your silent feet,
               And hushed breath.

Sneaking behind me .....
        As the silent sea,
               Before tsunami.

Swept me away.....
      In your whirlwind,
               Snatching the ground beneath my feet.

I was floating with your current.....
        At the mercy of your waves,
             Catching breath in-between my last priority.

I was yours....
     Being drown or saved.
I was yours....
     To discard or to hold.
I was yours....
     With my body and soul.

But in the chaos erupting around. ..
       I forgot......
             To ask you to be mine.

— The End —
