You left
Without saying anything,
So I assume
There must be a strong reason
to leave
Or perhaps
I couldn't see
the writing on the wall
because
There was no reason
to stay at all

I never told anyone
about You
but the Secret
was out
the moment
I poured my heart out
to the Paper
and the words started
whispering your Name...

We don't need the perfect words or metphors
If we truly care for someone;
We don't need them
-Describing
how they feel...
all we need to know
is to see,
if our heart
skips a beat
or two
when they are
- Typing...

It sounds like cliche
But you
Make me
Fall for you
Everyday

And then you came
After I have counted
All the stars...

You Claim
You know me - inside out
then why can't you  
hear what i say
When i say Nothing?

There were thousand reasons
to reach me
- but you found "None"
So How could you
come up with
the lame excuses
and still claim
to be "The One"

I Love you!
No Matter how many times
You hear this
It will make you feel special
Every single time

So near and yet so far
The Past was here,
a minute ago
but the present has built the wall
and now no matter what you do
It can't be reached here at all
Unless we travel
to a Distant Star...

There exist
a tipping point
in every matter...

It's when the chaos inside
crosses the threshold guarding
the last post...

It's when the people
who otherwise are weak
become so strong
that they could move a mountain...

It's when the beginning of the end
begins
(for every misery,  scar and pain)...

It's when they left
nothing to be lost
but a lightbeam at the end of the tunnel...

It's when the monsters
dread and tremble
for the reckoning to follow...

so let it be known
to all the tyrants
there's only so much pain  - they could inflict

and
in the end
'Karma' does the rest...

No matter
how well
we confine
our hearts
in a fortress,
surround it
with formidable walls,
and have no remorse
- The Love will breach all
like a Trojan Horse...

Let's play the game
of Truth or dare
It's been a while
That you dared speaking truth...

Walking side by side
For million miles
amd yet
Unreachable
Like the two river banks

I kept the flame
of faith
burning
In the darkest nights
and before the doubts
could
cast a shadow
I let the fire
of love
scorched my heart
and etched my soul
so when the day
broke
at last
I found
that all
my said and unsaid
prayers were heard...

My Dear!
Don't you know?
I 'd carved your name
in my heart
and locked it
inside a box
of devotion

the keys
were thrown away
in the river
of love..

So my dear
There's no going back  - for me

All the boats
of doubts
have been burnt
before you could
be taken away...

All the bridges
of mistrust
have collapsed
So we could not
walk out
on each other

All the egoes and prides
been buried

There's nothing
but our own
constellation
of hope and dreams


So tell me now
How are you
planning to escape from
"never- never land"...

I woke up to a nightmare
and the next thing I knew
the world started spinning
so I closed my eyes
and hoped
to see it gone
but It didn't
I couldn't moved   an inch;
It's like my mind
tried to tame  
the chaos in me
which in turn
becomes
the violent whirling
and now my world is
upside down...

We all take
slow poison
willingly -  when we allow
toxic people in our life
to exploit
our vulnerabilities,
to prey
on our weaknesses...
to infest
their misery
on our blessings...
My dear
I have seen them casting spells
so evil
that they left nothing
but a dry, barren and empty soul....

When the night
covers the day - and the world sleeps
I start wandering
in your love
I look up the sky
and think of you
Had I told the moon
What you mean to me
- It would have left
it's space,
it's orbit
and followed me...

The cellphone beeps
throughout the day
hundred times,
and every single time
I know the buzz
when It's from You
- It makes my heart
skips
a beat or two...

I still remember
when you left - at the eleventh hour

It was the night
that kept burning...

The pain had broken
all the barriers...

when the lips yearned to quench the thirst
the flood from the eyes
came to the aid...

All the hopes died
hoping to see the ray
of shivering light...

What's left of me waited - for the sunrise
but when the day broke
It starts melting...

My Dear!
Your absence is already wreaking havoc...

Sometimes it's best
to retreat
in the silence
and take refuge
in your own self
No one could
ever feel your pain
In the same way
as you do
my dear
do you know?
a few words of comfort
and solace
spoken softly
can surely heal our wounds
swiftly...

I know the games
you' ve been playing
I know the tricks,
so they won't work on me
I know the traps,
so i won't fall for them..
and I won't take your baits ...
so my dear!
you can keep playing
your games
and i will keep up with it
but know that
in this ruse
there won't be any winner
or loser
No one will ever
get a dime...
but our love - for sure
will succumed to the wounds
of time...

I like to write poems
and she asked Why?
Darling!
Writing gives me wings
and I love to fly...

You say,
All I write is
About Love
Darling!
It's because
All I Know
is You...

When the moon lines up
between the earth
and the sun,
all the shadows - slip away
and the Night wears
the cloak of darkness,
but in that moment
I find hope,
I find peace
When I look up
at the constellation  
I see the star
in the midst of sheer darkness
brighter than all
Just like You
glittering my sky  - in the darkest nights
and doesn't rise or set
but always stays bright
so those who are lost
can find their way...
and that's why
I call you
My Polaris!

I tried writing your name
on the sand
and the waves wash it away - everytime

I tried calling you
from the mountains top
and my words echoed - like boomerang

I tried throwing pebbles
In the lake
hoping
the ripples would reach your shore...

I tried sitting
for hours
where we first met
and didn't catch your glimpse

I tried drowning
in your thoughts
and was bounced back
by the tides of the time..

of all the things
that i tried
when you're gone  - finding you
in my heart
has always worked...
