When my night, is your day
Do you think of me?
When you see someone alone
Do you at times picture me?
When it rains at night
Do you even miss me?
While eating out at the restaurant
Do you glance at our favorite spot?
Do you still order our favorite food?
Do you still take that route back home?
I am just imagining our times together
How it used to be...
Watching the sunset till the stars came out
Embracing the moments with each other
Now, I feel like a fallen bird with damaged wings
Writing songs, with no will to sing
Glancing at my phone as if it rings
Hopeless tears of sorrow, these memories bring
It's not new to break apart
I guess it happens with most of us
If only we could read their intentions from the start
Rather nag, and fuss with our own broken heart
There are people, made of stones
Or they pretend, nothing affects them truly
Until for someone they break their own bones
Whom they love purely
But karma serves without a clue
For painting someone's colorful dreams as blue
Gives them back for what they deserve
They may lose what they intent to have...

You broke my heart
Now you are sorry
Right from the start
You madeup stories

You seem to enjoy
Now that I am broken
Your voicemails annoy
But I will remain unspoken

Request me or beg me
For your ultimate space
Forget it, as you made me see
The fakeness behind your face...

The rain is falling
My heart is calling
Emotions are crawling
Tears are rolling

The sun stopped shining
My mind kept whining
Feelings almost breaking
Through nights awakening

Rain and shine
Washed away by wine
A trait of a liar - pain
Freezing my body then my brain

An empty bottle - unlid
Loving you - I did
Hurt throughout, left in mid
O' what a way to get off rid

Days would return for you
Running and searching in view
For I would be gone by then
With a written letter -
                                   and a broken pen...

With my broken wings
I try to fly
It hurts so much
And I begin to cry
Laying on the ground
No one's around
No one to help
As I shelter myself
Under a tree bark
Its almost dark
With tiring eyes I look around
Just the silence that surround
I know am gonna be fine
Just have to spread my feathers in line
Let the night pass slowly
As I pray to the holy
To fix my wings by day light
Else make this my last night
Pain is something we all bare
Its all a matter of care
I have seen the damage caused
It got worse when I forced
Now silently praying with tears
As my heart sinks with fears
Will I be able to fly tomorrow?
I ask myself in sorrow...
As the day breaks
I feel the aches
The warmth from the sun
Is putting me on run
I slowly lift my wing
Once...then again
I hear other birds sing
Lifting myself I beated the pain
One flap, two flap....three
And weeeeeeeee
Up high in the sky
Flapping my wings I fly
With joy of hope
I was able to cope
My wings all healed
My pains all sealed...

i am shattering within as my heart breaks again. how long before i get over and begin to feel sane. lost in thoughts, of the time together. where did i go wrong? what did i do to deserve such heartache? you were just with me for a sake, lying each day...how did i trust you? you no less than my first, a fake. i wish i could pull out that mask off, just to see the real you. but you assured that you are not like the rest. won over my trust, did your best...i just ponder and wonder, why my heart trusts so easily...it's valentine's day tomorrow and my tears just drown me in sorrow. it's ok, perhaps its a lesson learning time for me...i hope oneday you rollback your albums and see...maybe you would remember me or whatever, just burn the memories, the album, photos as if you've burnt me!!

Here take this match
And this my heart, catch
Light the match quick
Don't you play tricks
Burn this heart of mine
Don't worry I'll be fine
Fuel the burning flames
As this heart has no claims
Dead in my brain
I can withstand this pain
Forget me soon
As this heart melts at noon
The witness is the moon
With uncherished boon
Gone are the days
Let's try various ways
To burn this heart
So no one can act smart
To claim it back ever
I will not allow it, never!
I feel the heat
The burning of meat
Thank you for this honor
I was gonna be your heart donor...

©sim

Upon the sunset each day
It brings me closer to death
A kind sage, once prayed for me
Said, every step, there is death
What am I gonna do with this life
Neither YOU, nor YOUR memory is alive
As I pray to the lord, each day and noon
To grant me a fulfilling boon
To free me from this life
And call me home soon...*

This joy
This madness
This rain;
Absolute calm
Meeting you
Then departing
You emerge, out of the blues;
Absolute calm
Here goes
My soul
As I've found you again;
Absolute calm
I was faithful
Unfaithful you fell
Played game too well;
Pained, yet in absolute calm

Ye suroor

Kitna sukoon...
Tera milna
Phir bichadna
Istifak se milna
Kitna sukoon...
Loh gaya

Tujhe paya
Kitna sukoon...
Wafa tumse
Bewafai humse
Khel khela
Dard-e-sukoon...

Deep within my soul
Whirls a dark corner
Blinks of my teary eyes
Shows its true owner

Wrapped with rooted claws
Yet, my appearance so neat
A prison out of reach so deep
Even my heart quivers to beat

My soul aches in pain
Upon the dark eclipse rise
I've been fighting this a lot
But now all stir in lies

I'll soon be a different kind
Strapped in with black cord
For my soul is captive
In the realms of the Dark Lord

I am powerless and confused
Walking with an empty head
I do not know myself now
I think, I am already dead...


©sim

As darkness clouds my pure soul...
My mind starts to play many roles...
I start to hallucinate what my mind creates...
Feeling haunted while my feeling betrays...
Possessing my body, torturing my soul...
Trying every motion to reach its goal...
A terrifying experience accounts to my being...
Taking control of all and every of my sin...
Shall I not wake up to see tomorrow...
As tonight my soul is captured with sorrow...
Holding onto my prayer book, I pray to thee...
To pull me out of this darkness and make me free...
Please take my hand and show me light...
I don't want to drown in this darkness of night...

When born
Raised
Then torn
Praised

Left alone
Scattered
Then mourn
Shattered

One once
Loved
Then left
Broken

Deeply hurt
Unspoken
Life unreal
Woken

Sad truth
Reality
Relations no
Quality

Bitter life
Living
Nothings worth
Grieving

Live yourself
Enjoy
Don't become
A toy

Love self
More
Live to the
Core

I've made my darling
A chocolate mousse
Fluffy and creamy
Melts in the mouth
Thick, yet light
The taste is ravishing
Once you'd try it
You'd never wanna stop
Wipped with cream top
Little melts on the sides
The house smells so sweet
As the baking of two was on
Mouth-watering delicacy
I've prepared after so long
Top sitting a strawberry
With the blushing redness
Oh, berry you'd be sorry
As you'd be eaten soon
It's tea time already
So a very good afternoon all...

©sim

My heart is broken
My soul is torn
My spirit has woken
My body all worn

My bones have shattered
My eyes are closed
The vultures have gathered
The deads aroused

My heart now bleeds
My soul deliberately shivers
My spirit helplessly feeds
On the flowing rivers

I was hated by many
Loved by few
I never owed a penny
But who knew

I was stabbed in the heart
On a cold drizzling night
Awfully broken apart
No, I wasn't in a fight

Left to die with so much pain
My life in complete vain
Dragged in the stormy rain
And shoved in a clogged drain...


©sim

The vengeance of morrow clouds
Move in ugly hounds
Provoking the unspoken to reach,
With guns and machetes handed to each
No mercy to the grounds that soak
The innocent blood of the vulnerable bloke
Help no other, of why should one
A hit shot dead, from a firing gun
Unarmed, visibility proof shown
Then why, was he deliberately disowned
Skin deep colors, reflect those eyes
When questioned, they ***** all lies
The growing crisis, has built cratic
Racism trolls, what remains static?
Absurd riots, counting the days
Shame no shame on the current slays
The one almighty, patiently watching all
One by one, the countries will fall...

I kept telling myself that I am doing well
That I am independent and
Out of the curse and spell
Of that, of loving someone unconditionally
That, I am way out of reach
Of my emotions and feelings
For the one that crowns my heart and soul
I kept telling myself that I will be okay
That for no matter what, I'll stay
I'll wait for him to turn my way
To take me in his arms again
And say
I will not leave you
Again..


©Seema Sen, 2021

His senseless touch awakes
My dead sunken emotions
Thrilling tingle it creates
Changing my physic motions

Passionate chill, grows within
Parting lips hesitate to speak
Brain clouds my thoughts in
As my senses surrender, I feel weak

A gentle kiss on my forehead
Assuring me, all will be fine
He sensed, I may be scared
So he whispered, "you are mine"

Slowly melting down in his arms
Watching the mesmerizing sunset
Capturing the cast shadow of palms
Finally ours lips, passionately met...

A pain I bare
A song I hear
For you, I care
Let go off your fear

I am hear for you
My love, my guide
Lets share your view
Please don't you hide

Why, my love
Do you still weep?
You are my soul
Within me, I keep

Like a lit candle
Fading away the dark
You in my life
Is alight, a spark

I am sorry of your loss
Please don't you cry
They can't come back
How much will you try?

Come along with me
Give me your hand
Do not worry
Leave away this end

My home, my heart
You are welcome to stay
Fear no one, my dear
I will take you away...


©sim

Torn in pieces
Scattered on the floor
He thought my heart was a paper,
That he could easily tore

What actually got ripped
Was not even my heart
Tapped few emotions
Few things, did fall apart

Seeing another fluttering heart
Flying next to him one day
I chose to confront once
And that, made us go on our way

He thought, I'd be jealous and blazing
Little pain it was, but not too late
I often smiled if his gaze ever fell on me
That, I did not hate

He confronted me, one day
And wanted to be back forever
I smiled again, turned and replied
.........never ever!

In the rain,
You boarded the train,
So many stuffs clouding your brain,

I could see the tension rising on your face,
One could tell the wrinkles by trace,

Silently I speak seeing you seated in front of me,
You gazed my way but pretended not to see,

What could be the reason behind your sadness?
Looking away I drown in my own madness,

We have been traveling together for few years,
Yet none had guts to talk cause of our fears,

As we reached the destination, I saw you leave,
I watched you from behind, touched your sleeve
You never responded, that made my heart grieve,

I left the cabin last, noticing a business card,
Flipped it up, I saw scribbled "life is hard"
As I reached my office, I dialed the number on the card,
A sad voice answered, sorry this call is barred,

I called again, this time, I spoke first,
Hi, am Sim, we travel in same train everyday,
Saw you sad, couldn't help calling you today,

I hope I could help if only you could talk,
Lets meet at the coffee shop down the block,

I saw you seated at the usual place,
"Black coffee please"!, I ordered in pace,

He looked relaxed, as our conversation started,
All this while he was thinking of me, which startled,

Things got smooth after a long walk,
With coffee in hand and him with his talk...
