I am so tired
of changing weather
of people changing
of changing feelings
of moving planets
in their orbits

of day's coming
of day's  going
of night's coming
of sun's setting
of moving things
of disappearing bliss
of brightness in light
of darkness at night
of stars so bright
disappearing at break of dawn
as if forever gone

of everything that changes
after playing its part
I want something concrete
that will forever last

last night
me and him were all alone
he touched every single hair of my body
and every single particle of my soul
became enamoured within his thrall
last night
we talked all night long
beneath moonlight as it shone
over our lover's faces
and we whispered all night long
in each other's ear
I became his secret and he became mine
such was ecstacy of our meeting
last night

look at the stars and their motion
look at the clouds as they depart
the message that nature whispers
into every human's heart
is clear as the daylight
that nothing forever lasts

so this tale goes
of a girl's woes
as her life changed
as she heard the news
of passing of a fair young man
whose eyes were her rescue
where she lost herself carefree
and bid the worries adieu

alas! but as the happy times
are nothing but a spring
and like changing season
she had an autumn within
her only spring was gone
the face of her beloved
and now she was all alone

but as the time pass
sorrows also don't last
again the spring time came
and along brought a beautiful face
a handosome young man
forwarded his hand
and all her sorrows
disappeared in his glance

oh! how sweetly you move inside me
it tingles my entire being
I am overcome with ecstasy
and become drunk without drinking
the stars dance along me in trance
oh my sweet love! if I get a chance
I'll forever stay in this state
and become one with you
in eternal romance

her eyes are deeper than the ocean
she sets the things in motion
her one smile shuns misery in glance
and the universe dances under her trance

whoever is touched by love
either turns into gold
or turns to dust
in the eyes love
both are same
both are worth it
both are one

In the world full of egos
It's hard to have voice
Let alone a face.

I have fallen from your grace
I walk with plain face
my mirth is gone
your love kept me alive
I lost it along the way
I don't know
what keeps me going now
is it just me?
or this winter really feels more chilly?
is it just me?
or this cool breeze can't let me live?
I don't know why I live anymore
Oh God! where was I?
who am I?
where have I gone?

love is
to set yourself on fire
and not care

love is
to turn to ashes
and rise again

love is
to grow wings
while crawling

love is
to write on wind
with kisses

love is indescribable
yet books are
filled with it
