Your tears burn into my soul
And cleanse it of
The darkness it holds

Your smile sets in my eyes
And puts out the fire
There disguised

Your words ring in my ears
And I know I'm truly happy
For the first time in years

You're killing me
With you words
With your smile
With your touch

To show someone
Paradise
And then
Deny them

You are my lighthouse
Across stormy seas
The path to the shore was always there
With your light
You just guided me

Sometimes
falling out of love
Is more painful
Than falling IN love

Another sleepless night
under the starry sky
When the moon kissed
her lover goodbye
Joined but , for a few moments
each day
Destined was she ,
never to see
her suns ray
Her heart was dark
But his burnt bright
He ushered in the day
She cradled the night
She lived in the shadows
He in the light
these two lovers the earth
would never respite
And thus under every starry
sleepless sky
Did The moon kiss
her lover a long
goodbye

A wooden boy
A useless toy
Lifeless I was
Till the magic
Of your words
To live gave me cause

He saw her
From his window
One rainy day
She was smiling at nothing
And drenching wet
He waved

She was crying
Next to him
One rainy day
And he put his arm around her
And told her it would be okay

She took his hand then
And they would sit together
And knew that they would
Want no one else
No matter the weather

And finally they confessed
What was in their hearts
And I'm still as much in love
In every way
As I was
that rainy day

I knew the moment we touched
Things would never be the same
I knew the moment you smiled
My feelings could not be tamed
I knew the moment our lips met
That I was desperately in love
I knew the moment you came in
That it was too late to go Back to
Being friends
That it was too late to hide the feelings I had confessed
That i was too far gone
To ever return to what I was
What things were
Before you

For before you
Seems like an alternate dimension
That I had suffered and lost
Because there was no life before you
And there won't be life after

I see your face
Reflected in every mirror
I pass
And my heart breaks
Like
Shards of glass
I can still taste your smile
The feel of you
Under my hands
And I know I can't wait
To come back

I saw a shooting star
And I followed it
In the night
it travelled far

It lit up the way
And I followed it
Through my dark days

I kept walking
In search of it
In uncertain places
And Dark roads

It was like a wave
Endless but with a shore

And after years
I finally found my star
It's you,it was always you
And I'll find you In my heart
No matter where you are

I long for your hands
Warm and cold
I long for your touch
I long for you
To hold
Me
Forever

An angel sent from heaven
Once looked upon a girl
Nothing special was she
Everything abt her ordinary
But something captivated him
And he descended down to earth
Losing his halo for her
As a human he took birth
And heaven it was when she
Said ,"I love thee truly"
Nd in her heart she knew
She was the luckiest girl alive
To be loved and cherished
And with an angel
get to spend her life

I want someone who will wake me up with a kiss in the morning
I want someone who will tuck me in in the night
I want someone who will listen when I need him too
I want someone who'll make me dinner in candlelight
I want someone who will always put me before anything else
I want someone who will love me even when he hates me
And then again I also want to fly

That moment
right before you kiss me
Right there,
so close I can feel your words
on my lips
When your warm breath mixes with mine
When I can feel my heart beat,
slowly at first,
not used to such exertion
When i let my heavy lids
droop into oblivion
It feels like the first drops of rain
are falling from my eyes

He once told me
Pain is beautiful
Caressing the red scars
On the wrists of my hands

He once told me
Pain is beautiful
While watching my tears
Glide into the sand

He once told me
Pain is beautiful
When his eyes were still
And his lips unloving

He once told me
Pain is beautiful
And standing on the edge
Of my rooftop
I believed him

Kissing you
Felt like fireworks
Underneath my skin
Wanting you
Felt like waves
Crashing against my chest
Needing you
Felt like salty tears
In dead eyes
Loving you
Felt like a hurricane
In my unfeeling soul

Isolated,by choice,she was
She felt safe on her own
Trust was a fragile thing
And her heart,had long since
turned to stone

Some tried , some didn't
But she remained
unchanged
Until one traveller
Walked down this
path estranged

He passed the cotton barriers
And reached deep within
He accepted all her goodness and every committed sin

Wiping the tears of blood
Taming that dark murmur
Even though it got the taste of mud
On his shining armour

This was a time ago
And my heart
he till holds
As I succumbed
and I stripped
and he saw me
Naked,both body and soul

I would walk to the end of the world
Swim across the deepest ocean
To see you tonight
My heart longs
And my eyes thirst
But to live without you
I'm cursed

If I didn't have you
The sun wldnt
shine as bright
The stars wldnt
make me wish at night
The hands of the clock wldnt
Move agonisingly slowly
When I'm nt in ur sight
My heart wldnt beat
Slow and fast
And I wldnt want
Anything to last
I wldnt Hv a reason
to smile every morning
And I wldnt Hv a reason
For sleepless nights too
And I wldnt ever Hv love
In life
Baby If I didn't Hv you

When I think of you
I think of happiness
I think of warmth
I think of love
I think of longing
For your touch

When I think of you
I think of words
I think of a smile
That makes me blush

When I think of you
As stars into millions grow
In my line of sight
And I wish I could
Just see you once more
Before I fall asleep tonight

A starry night
A cloudy day
A few drops of rain
The month of May

Flowers freshly bloomed
The early morning dew
Gifts wrapped up and tied
Maybe a chocolate or too

Coffee on a rainy day
Strong winds that make me quiver
Clear blue skies,the birds
And soothing music that just makes me shiver

Chimes that sway in the breeze
The ripples in water that I see
The grainy texture of the sand
The sun shining bright on all the land
And it's light and all of this together
Is what you are for me,My love
The saving grace in bad weather

You simmer in my eyes
Like coffee
Drops of your love
Burning my throat
Warming my insides
Setting my soul on fire

I saw in your eyes
two universes collide
The cosmic dust
Guiding me home
I saw in your smile
The curve of the earth
And in your happiness
I found mine

I wish our words
could be as easily
erased from our hearts
as they are from paper

Embers of your love
Warm me
on a cold winter night
I close my eyes
The wanderlust
is finally satisfied
I can travel anywhere I want
Places that don't exist
places that do
I close my eyes
And imagine
every place
That would lead to you

The sin growing heavier
in our hearts
Desire making it's way in
Slowly
Subtly
The need for flesh on skin

The warmth calling
to my shivering spine
Fingers trailing
down my back
As we intertwine

Mind overflowing
with just the thought
Maybe i have gotten
The peace that I sought

Every touch
Ignites a fiery spark
The intensity
Leaving more than just a mark

With you
So close
It's hard to breathe
And yet somehow
Your touch
makes me feel complete

Your face like a picture
Touches my very soul
My body is your canvas
So paint me whole

Searching for someone
As broken as me
I find myself in poetry

The words seem
to speak to me
Consoling me
Giving my life meaning
Till all I see
Is the ashes of papers
Coming down like snow
Till I get buried deep within
Succumbing to the darkness
Searching for someone
as broken as me

You got me smiling for no reason
As I sit on the edge of my bed
You got me thinking of every word that u ever said
And everything around me has a happier hue
Becoz everyday I fall more and more in love with u
And now the love songs all seem related
Becoz even a life time with u would make me feel insatiated
And everything around me has a happier hue
Becoz baby I'm in love with u

Those moments
when I told you to leave
Were just a test
To see whether u would stay
Stay with me
Even though
I was broken
I was masochistic
And I couldn't be fixed
Even though
You loved me
And I didn't
Even though
I had hurt you
Caused you pain
And now as you
walk away from me
All I can do is
ask u to stay
Stay with me again

The wind blew in the desert
Of my heart
Wrecking even the salvages
Claimed as war spoils
And u were the oasis
That quenched my thirst
You were the sky
That showed me beauty
You were the rain
That gave me hope
And maybe now I'm
Not so barren

It was raining
One night
In a little girls heart
The torrent inconsolable
The storm did thunder part

It was raining
One night
And she didn't
Want it to stop
She liked the feel
Of the drops on her skin
When she began to sob

It was raining
One night
The water kept flowing
Down the cliff of her nose
Tides gently brewing

It was raining
One night
And you brought
A coat
And I'm still
The same little girl
Whom you saved
When she needed you
The most

Parts of me I didn't know existed
Awaken to your touch
I didn't know it was possible
To long for someone so much
Closer than my heartbeat
I feel you
Your breath on my face
Nd ur lips on mine
I wish we could stay like this
Till the end of time

They say
Humans had four legs
and hands
And the gods divided them
And that they would spend
The rest of their lives
Trying to feel complete
Trying to find their other half
Trying to be whole.
Is that why I'm so broken ?

When I see you
I feel a warmth
In my stomach
In my heart
It goes all through my body
And melts my icy veins
And finally
I can feel again

He saw her
The day they met
With wind blown hair and laughing eyes
He saw her
the day she left
With sweat stained hair and a lifeless smile
He lay there, transfixed
as if staring into another time.
as if staring into an alternate space right there on those dusty wooden tiles where she existed.
He lay there, unmoving
Where he held her close
and they swayed
with the ballerina in the music box going round and round
he opened his eyes
to a phantom embrace
He opened his eyes
And his arms held nothing but the air.
He opened his eyes
His lips as parched and broken as they were.
The ballerina stood still
he slowly walked
across the wooden tiles
And crossed the space where they had their first dance
Crossed the space where he kissed her for the first time
And he kept walking
Until with closed lids
He saw her
Wind blown hair and laughing eyes

Looking through the window
I see you and me
Together stand
Looking through the window
I see u smiling and kissing my hand
Looking through the window
I see you with a single rose
Looking through the window
I see myself happy and content
And it'll always be me looking through the window
While you're with someone else

These sudden bursts of clarity
Renewed my faith in humanity

The water gushes down
The mountain tops
Across the valleys
Between the pebbles
Crossing every boulder
It started out small
Bt with time it grows deeper
Maybe less pure
But also more
And finally in the end
It reaches the vast
All consuming sea
U are the sea, my love
And The water is me

There is a blockage of ink
It forms a clot
Which gets thicker and thicker
Until my heart stops

The first drops of the rain finally wet my lips
As I waited for the words to drown
As I waited for the clash of thunder in my mind
I let my fingertips and my outstretched hands
Greet it like a long lost lover
Finally myself to find

Your hands were strangers at first
Greeting my bashful skin
Trying to figure out the way
Wanting to unveil
every curve
Jump off every edge
Your hands
were strangers at first
Fingertips
Tracing my scars
Your hands
were strangers at first
Exploring every crevice
Cupping all the pain
You hands were strangers at first
And now
they write poetry on my skin

They could walk with a hundred people
Smiles all around
But deep down
Everyone's really lonely

There she lay
Her tears making music
Her pain a sweet melody
Her eyes ocean deep
And there she lay
Hoping to see the sight
Her parched heart
Her sore eyes
So longed
Days passed
And then years
And there she lay
Hope glittering
In traitor eyes
Slowly drowning
In her tears

Your love is the thread
In the eye of my needle
Together, we stitch
Our broken hearts

I see the beauty in your brokenness
Your scars don't scare me
It's hard to break your walls
As hard as it is to let you in
Your body cracked to let the hint of sunlight through
But here I promise you
I'll love you when you're a storm
That wrecks me
I'll love you when you're a still day
That perplexes me
I'll love you when you're a season
That changes me
I'll love you when you're a drizzle
That touches me
Ill love you not because I have no choice
But because you saw through my twisted alleys
But because you saw through my faults
But because you chose to love me

I've never felt like this before
Safe to say I've never felt before
I've never heard my heart beating so loud
It's been silent for years without making a sound
I've never wanted to be close to someone
Never longed for anyone's touch
As much as I long for you
Neither rhyme nor reason can express how much

She heard the knock on the door
'I know you're in there!'
She didn't reply. She Didn't move.
'OPEN the door'
She clenched her fists
'Let me IN'
She took a deep breath
She reached for the revolver
She unlocked the bolt
The whiff of alcohol scented the air
Red eyes greeted pale ones
And she pulled the trigger

He lay there. Broken.
Blood on his hands
he caressed the scars on his wife's face
As she lay lifeless in his arms

I lived in the 'sixties
In a land of black and white
Till you came by
And gave colour to my life

Like a graceful stroke
Of a paint brush
You filled me with hues
Of happiness
With your touch

And now I see the world anew
For you've coloured my life
And my dreams too
Nd I know I can never go back
To black and white
And I know I'll see everything in red
With you in my sight

I do not fear death
And I can tell you why
I will wait
and look down upon you
Until life passes you by
I do not fear death
And I can tell you why
Even if together
we cannot live
My soul will be yours
when I die
