Wasn't it better when we were children and
Fear meant being alone in the dark with six-leged spiders crawling over our neck?
For look at us now, we're all alone, darkness sweeping us in while the strings of anxiety, depression, panic, sadness, insecurity and death traps us in their web?

A tear trickled down my eye,
He was there ready to make me smile,
With one of his witty and allusive remarks.
I won't be lying if I say that
He has the potential of turning grey to
All of the colors of a rainbow's arc.

With your skin so near to me,
How can I do anything but crave to touch you?
The warmth it radiates draws me closer,
Inch by inch, breath by breath.
The desire grows stronger with
Every resist, every denial.
And when you finally let me trespass
There's no place I'd rather be,
No other fence I'd ever surpass.

Wearing your clothes I can feel you beside me,
The fibres blending into my skin, becoming one.
Caressing my blemishes and beauty evenly.
Screening me from the cold and harsh.
Oh how could I ever give it up?
How could I ever give you up?

In fear lies disgrace.
Never be afraid to fall.
Pick yourself up from the dirt.
Remould,rebuild and rekindle.
Live on.

As my shoes collect dust inside the shelf,
I've finally found time to improve myself.
To colour my life a little bit brighter,
Red, pink, blue and a little bit greener.

Is it strange or is it true that only when
Our present isn't gratifying
And the future isn't inspiring
That we recourse to our past.

The moon was abnormally large that night and
Seemingly keen to hear their heart to heart as
They sat together in what now is a forgotten bar.
His grey shirt stained with her red tears fated, He was going and she must love him from afar.

Posing naked in front of the mirror,
Practicing dance moves with you,
Watching movies lying on your back,
Eating new stuff that we never had.
While tracing back my happy days,
I'll write it down with glitter.

Each time when my heart broke,
It added a new cosmic beat in my song.
When my brain chose between you and life,0
A melodious symphony came along.
The smoke from all the memories I burnt,
Breathed out as tunes from my clarinet.
The senses that I tormented loving you,
Bursted out into an impassioned cassette.

When you first met me,
I was still broken.
My world, a draught ridden plateau.
Desolateness stretched till horizon.
Fire screeched through the soil.
As time passed, clouds condensed.
I wont say you were the first showers,
But the ones that turned buds to flowers.

My heart drowns a bit more each day,
Blood seeps in through the cracks.
Enduring through a lifetime of storms,
It may have grown frail or strong.
But the knowledge of it is not worth the test,
So let it flow through the eyes and
Hope the heart makes it to surface at rest.

I poured my heart out on a piece of paper,
Folded it into a boat and floated it across
The river, to the bank, to you.
But alas an endless rain befell,
If only I knew how to carve out wood.

If you've stood longer than normal in shower feeling hot drops on your cheeks than cold,
If you've felt an unknown entity clinging your neck with each step you take to future then you know what I'm talking about.
If you've learnt to suppress your emotions around people you love and soaked you pillow,
If you've made yourself distant from your family just to make it easier on them and suffered alone then you know what I'm talking about.
If you've felt music not being able to cure your mood and lyrics sound all monotonous to you,
If you've learned no drugs, no amount of alcohol can fix your soul then you know what I'm talking about.
If you've swallowed down pills just to be saved by a series of miracle vomits,
If you've got scars on your body you lie to people about then you know what I'm talking about.
If you've never shared your thoughts with someone just because it might be too much,
If you've made peace with the fact that it's not others at fault but just you then you know what I'm talking about.
And if you really know what I'm talking about just know that I'm cursed to write about it while you are unable to speak up.

'Hold your phone this way for a better capture' he corrected and thus it all began.
Never did it cross my mind that I'll end up loving him so much hadn't it been the little things he did and said.
Apologizing for someone else's mistake guided me towards the road to fall for him,
He put me at more ease each second on our first date at the films.
Walking for a few moments after practice ended each day,
Kissing me first time on the night of our show seems only like yesterday.
I've done so many crazy things with you with no regrets of any kind,
If I could go back in time it'll still be you with whom I'll intertwine.

Spring came and went by,
Some flowers remained,
Some wilted down.
I know there's no place for death in a garden,
But how do you uproot the ones which were once the jewels of your crown?

Next time when tears roll down your eyes,
Catch those magical crystals before they
Fall and break on the floor and let them
Transport you to the magical world where
There are only hellos and no goodbyes.

If you feel like staying up a little longer,
I'll make you a cup of coffee.
If you have to wake up early next day and go to work for long hours,
I'll make you a cup of coffee.
If you wanna enjoy the rain in evening,
I'll make you a cup of coffee.
If you get cold and wanna warm up,
I'll make you a cup of coffee.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of songs,
Songs which evoke my memories of you.
Maybe its your absence making me yearn
For you, your voice, your touch. Return.

The journey is long and full of dark turns,
If once in a while you feel like taking a rest,
Don't hesitate to lay under the tree,
Let the wind rustling through the leaves whisper you to sleep.
The morning will come again,
You will get up again,
Its okay to let go for a moment.

Poets make love immortal in words,
I hope your memories live on and if not,
I'll pray to God everyday to send me to heaven,
Because you'll be there and time, frozen.
