I am gonna smile like I never did,
Scream to the world that I am happy,
After so long and somehow
Love came to me
I am gonna live like I never did,
Love you like there is no tomorrow,
I will hold your hand and you smile with me,
Tonight, I will walk you home
We'll write a song together,
And sing it on the way,
And when you are not around,
I will sing it for my loneliness
It was written long time back, but these days it makes perfect sense to me.. I was is 6th grade then, so i refuse to be judged for this

I want you to remember,
That cold December
Her daunting scream
And your tired God,
The floor was wet
Blood, sweat and tears
Helpless beside her
A friend who loved

Forever remember
That cold December
When humanity surrendered
Before their greed
Sickness had struck
They said, **** was her fault
My faith died when women agreed

Never forget her
And that cold December,
The anthem they sang,
Weak women stay home

The city of men,
Delhi was freezing,
The vigil that failed to chase away the darkness within

Befriend those walls,
Few lunatics preached,
Battered, she faded in the mist of despair
2012 Delhi **** Case.. You can google the incident if you don't already know

O beloved,
There is a world above these walls,
Seek that now

There is no religion,
No borders,
Nothing that divides us,
No limits forced onto us,
Nothing that reduces us in anyway,
There is a world beyond these lines,
Seek that now,
And meet me there.

In my dreams I see us dying,
Smiling as life fades slowly,
Happy, like innocent children who just know that the strict teacher won't come to school again
They mourn because they must,
Hiding their joy in the black veil of silence but, unlike them, we smile
Like tired eyes staring at the drowning sun
This life has been harsh

There is a world where we walk free,
Seek that now,
And meet me there

When I am alone, I speak to God,
He said that he is upset with all the preachers of faith,
For he gave us love and nothing else
I closed my eyes and I saw him standing in front of me,
Sad and sorry,
Tired and weary,
Sick of this mess and sick of himself
Searching for words to apologize
For the tears that my pen cried

The alley below leads to eternity,
Seek that now
And meet me there.

Everytime I close my eyes,
The picture of you comes to my mind,
Floating in the air,
From everywhere,
Everything around me reminds me of you,
And I lose myself in the memories of you..
The park-bench still fits us perfectly,
And this world has taken 7000 turns, changing everything but me
The stubbles in my face make me look a little older,
I have grown a little taller,
Lost my hair, gained some weight,
And I am losing a little bit of myself everyday but, I am still the same old person you loved back then
Every breath that I take, takes me a little closer to you,
Nothing is certain here, I do not know if you're a million breaths away or two
My friends want me to move on,
To take a step forward every day,
Arms wrapped around my shoulders,
Sometimes, a soft grip-  a silent assurance of their presence,
A sweet promise to always be there
And that is just what you did
This love is more than those three words that sick men these days use to capture beauty
And this body is more than blood, muscles and bones,
Death was not powerful enough to **** your soul
You are everywhere, in every thing
With me
We are still strong enough to melt stones

Like a butterfly,
I fly
In this garden of ****** and pearls,
Dancing in the wind,
With the wind,
Drifting back and forth,
Up and down
I swirl and twirl,
My world whirls and I fall down dizzy
Gliding softly,
Slowly
Giving this flight a little time,
Living every second,
Before I die
And finally, I become a flower
Beautiful and still

To live is to die everyday,
I am in a fight against myself,
To win is to lose everything,
Turn around to not breathe the air I breathe
Take a look into my eyes
And look through
Camouflage in the lies,
And never come true,
My ship crashed into an iceberg when I was at my best
Buried in the shallowest of the ocean- a perfect beginning laid to rest

I am in love with the way she looks at me,
her eyes hit mine like green and yellow autumn leaves hit the ground below,
softly and slowly
like the know there's no way up once they go down so they're gonna give this flight a little time

Angels saunter down the aisle
They break your heart and **** your mind
It's in the distance where hope dies
You lean against the wall counting days and cursing life
You think its fate and everything's your fault
You maybe right and may be not
But you won't find the middle ground
And it's not just gravity pulling you down
You are in chains and there is no escape
You try to break free but fall again
You look at the world and look through
Your knees kiss the floor as you break down in two
Like love bisected you and seized everything that was good in you
Let it rain
Put your grief on display
And get out of your shell
Because SOMETIMES not hiding your weaknesses is being brave

I don't know what I'm doing,
I don't know what this is,
I don't want to think of the twists and bends,
I don't want to know where this river ends,
I just know that its beautiful
And there's nothing as true as what I feel for you

Waking up to your messages,
Text you if you have not and wait for your text,
Smile when the thing called 'pop notification' pops with your name,
A quick look into your part of the world-Text you back and  you text back again,
Keeping each other updated about each other but not knowing why
Keep talking about the lines but letting nothing divide
I don't know what this could be,
Time flies so I choose not to think about it,
I want to let it be and live with it-drape myself with it and just live

Funny how we talk for hours and there's always something new to talk about,
Funny how we agreed on not thinking about tomorrow and live now,
Funny how we make inane requests and bring up crazy topics to make sure the music does not stop,
Funny how we have given so much but could not have enough,
Funny how we use 'we' like we are one soul trapped inside two bodies,
Like you and me is one unit
Funny how I still think of you as some faceless entity

You are like the missing piece of the puzzle,
The light at the end of the tunnel,
You are the answer to why i have so much and still nothing,
You complete me
I don't want to think about it and beyond,
I just want this to go on and on
Maybe forever
Or at least until we go back to where we belong
As dust or as ashes
Maybe even after but until then, i want us to remain

Do not worry,
This experiment won't take long,
We will come back to where we belong,
To the high we call sanity
He said it was the fruit of knowledge that gave us mortality
Thin man, grey beard
It was the truth that he feared
It was written in his eyes, Bold and CLEAR
He said god gave us love just to teach us what pain is
But,do you know what hate is?
She looked into my eyes and looked through
Like she knows me but, does not want to
And its true
She's closed the window from where I once flew
Or that's what she has made me believe,
He said,"you are what you believe you are"
But do you know how far is too far?
I can see the stars, the sun and the moon,
The hills decked with clouds,
The mountains draped in white,
He said gods don't play dice
So I asked them to apologize for the poems that my pen cries
Let us mourn for the love that once was,
The music that this world once played for us
We were like the two ends of the same rainbow
Miles away but one
'we', once meant she and I
Now the word hurts
I can see us in the clouds drifting apart,
The rivers lost in the oceans,
The mountains flushed down,
And in the tears that could once melt hearts
She wants a world where I don't exist
So I pushed a knife inside her heart to set her free
And he laughed

I'm *** positive
So text me sympathies
Lie to me
Tell me nothing has changed and nothing will
Tell me we're friends and we'll remain
Make me stand in front of a mirror to see if i can face myself
Act like you care
Veil yourself and blame the air
Look down on me
Fake a wow for my worn out shoes
But look into my eyes before you leave
They speak volumes
I'm just not crying
Maybe i wont wake up in the morning- maybe i will
Bash my family like i feed on their blood
Maybe it was just my fault- maybe not
Maybe i have never made love
Maybe i have never done drugs
Maybe it was my latest tattoo that reads " I miss you mom"
Maybe it was the tetanus shot i had last month
Admit that you don't care
Act ill to not eat what i share
You're just another educated
I am not infected with the disease

Melancholy of the barrens
Gloom of the drowning winter sun
Shades of grey over the horizons
Dirge under the moonbeam
Can you hear me?

So dead and cold inside
So much hatred in your eyes
Can you feel me?

Angel face but a torchid soul
Flesh veiling a heart of stone
Do you breathe lies and are you high?
Did you smile when my hope died?
Do you remember me?

I see vendors in the aisles, selling dreams and lullabies.
I'll buy some for myself
In the palace of exile,
With you bushed into my mind
I will aestivate

Only in dreams does my beloved come to me,
Lovelorn I wait on my bed decked with roses
Dear earth, take a quick turn
Unite me and my beloved under the black veil of darkness
Or take me to the alley below where the light will never reach
With arms wide open my beloved is waiting for me
