You set my mind,
Alight.
Mesmerized;
Every time,
I see your smile.

You're a treasure.
The one I cherish.
You're a beauty.
A sight to always relish.

You are precious.
Rare. Priceless.
A standout of no equal.
Peerless.

You're a treat.
Sweet as berry.
You're everything and more.
The cherry on top.

You're a prize.
The biggest catch any man could find.
Every other thing is benign,
So long as you're mine.

Heart still beats
With no life attached,
Blood still flows
To rush, to stop fast,
Brain still thinks
When nothing left for thinking,
Eyes still see
The destruction hesitantly,
Mouth still opens
Saying everything by being quiet,
Ears still listen
The words of death and decay,
Nose still inhales
What we call not as air,
Hands still work
Trying to pick the life we lost,
Legs still walk
For peace, to the end!
Last few years saw a deadly rise in pollution and global warming. And it's not surprising that glaciers are melting fleetly which adds to the increase in the water level of oceans and if this continuous, it'll be scary to see our favorite coastal cities drowning in the tears of mother earth.
Not only this, our natural habitats are also getting affected due to our irrational thoughts and works.
Poetry is an impressive way of raising awareness. So give your best in providing mother earth a peaceful, clean, green, and happy environment.

Don't be a prisoner
Of past
If you do
Only pain will last

Don't be a over thinker
Of present
If you do
It'll be malignant

Don't be a liability
Of future
If you do
You'll be left alone creature
...such is life

Dear me,
Don't just sit
Rise, and pursue greatness.

Don't just watch
Go after what you want.

Don't just exist
Strive and start living.

Don't just dream
Work hard and aim for success.

Don't get tired
Keep hiking until you get to the peak.

My friend asked me, who's your girl
Is she a mystery? I'm keen to solve.

My gestures are changing,
so are my thoughts
My heart says she's here
But my brain, "Nah"
my senses say you're talking with her
But my words, "don't know".
She has this marvelous power of
keeping me intact, stacked with love.
Vibrations of my larynx
constantly take her name,
But this uncooperative tongue
washes away everything.
Flow of my blood depicts
flow of her mysterious love
but valves inside my veins
stops it in the way to heart.
Don't know who's she,
will my brain ever reveal her name?
Brain, keep it up.

you are the pleasure
and I am addicted
to your unrealistic presence
and so I'm not asleep

it's your melody
in the deep silence of night
that i get dragged to
but i can't find you

it's like a garden i wander in
you're like a scent i can't recognize
there are flowers I've seen before
but i can only feel you here

you're far away, it feels
but it feels you're near
it's a pain that i will never find you
but it's a pleasure that you're in my heart.

for you & i

have got me thinking
this moment in time
has nothing missing

when it comes to love
when it comes to us
when it comes to the place we belong

for you & i

are both the reason
we'll survive
this open season

when it comes to us
when it comes to love
we'll ride it all out in a poem

for you & i

are meant to be here
with open skies
to make the way clear

when it comes to love
when it comes to us
when it comes to how it is done

for you & i
