Into the kiln
Unbaked clay
Memories know
Words to yet say

Fired and strengthened
Rigid and whole
A vessel of beauty
The ultimate goal

Cool now and rest
Let your form take shape
What you now are
Is no accident of fate

What does it mean to be
alive in such a fake world
You hold me close
blushing cheeks
entangled arms
giddy laughter
to which your dark clouds reply
Run
Your storm provides indeed
I just wish for once
the excitement was real
Your love was real
The World was real
free to be you
free to be me

Oh what a wonderful world
it would be
we all have secrets, but our subconscious suffering hurts others as we pretend to be someone, or something, we are not.
When I close my book,
do the characters get trapped
in time or pages?
Perhaps they're trapped inside our heads...

Your eyes make me drown
In the sea of love,
Which makes me feel,
That love can’t be measured,
Your smile makes me feel,
That I am in heaven above,
As it seems to me a sign,
That we will be together.

Kiddish behaviour of yours ,
Enlightens up the kid in me too,
Which makes me happy whenever,
I am with you,
Lame jokes you crack ,
Makes me laugh even if I don’t want to,
This gives me a reason
Why always I want to be with you.

Mood swings you have,
Makes you distinct from everyone,
As someone like you there’s no one,
Even the bad things in you ,
seems to be good,
You are the one for ,
whom I always looked.

Whenever I look at you,
I just admire your beauty,
Feels to me the best thing I do,
Your mesmerising voice always,
Captures my attention,
And takes away all my tension.
-Darsh Parekh
I finally broke down every wall for You

And you picked up every single stone
Just to throw it back at me.........

My world shines
When I see you smile.

My life rocks
When I hear you laugh.

My heart flutters
When I learned we’re lovers.
