Little Girl
Manauwer Raza Feb 2019
Little one, little one
The sky is falling
Your lifeboat of dreams
Is now sailing
In the wake all the way
No rhyme or reason
Your gloomy eyes
Shows your heart rains a rainy season

Little girl, little girl
Why are you sighing?
Inside your restless soul
Your heart is really crying

So, Runaway
From the river to the shore
And find yourself within
You're the reflection of your hopes
There is always places you can go
You only get to live it all, only once

Remembrance
Manauwer Raza Jul 2018
Remembrance, a story of trying to put things together
Where the best moments drifts through floating
While I look at my hands and spaces between my fingers...

The sparks of life would make all those darkness fade
Bring light of hopes and wishes to come true
The marks of which are now completely erased...

But these are the memories I already know
Which need no luxury, no expression to show
It's all about the disappointment of just letting go...

It's based on something that can't be saved
All blatant lies, the falsity, the blame
For things have changed and they can't stay the same...

Sometimes I wonder if you're even here
For my mind refrain to speak your name
And the picture I see seems so unclear...

So, I'll just say what needs to be said
The fights are fought and the elegies are read
But for remembrance of you, my memories are all numb and dead...

If that is LOVE
Manauwer Raza Nov 2014
Have you have wondered
If, how, when and where,
You would ever find true love
And find someone who cared?

Sometimes it takes a lifetime
And sometimes you never do,
But special things take a while
If they're really true.

It didn't take a lifetime,
But pain, hurt and strife
And now that I found you
I know it was all worth the time

Do you love me unconditionally ?
So real and so true ? (NO)
So now I have to wonder,
How did l live without you?

You bring me joy and happiness
In everything you do
And I just want to thank you
And send all my Love to you

Incomplete Love
Manauwer Raza May 2014
close your heart
and feel the mirth...

a life of sigh
a prisoner of birth...

with you always
in my mind...

where is that feeling
forgetting your kind...

'm not begging you
to love me...

'm not really asking
for this to be...

but to cherish that hope
isn't it alright...

the hope in my heart
blazing so bright...

living a life
just in dreams...

flawless love
filled with screams...

dreaming about
just holding your hand...

with you all the time
wherever you stand...

the feeling of impugn
that will for sure hurt me...

but the truth in my eyes
that you'll always see...

try keeping my eyes
from shining when they see you...

those glittering waters
when my feelings are true...

and I promise, not to smile special
when you say hello...

but will kneel to you
with all soulfulness below...

but please don't ever ask me
not to love you...

for you are just so perfect
and 'm so incomplete without you...

Loose Sheets
Manauwer Raza May 2014
Loose sheet is a part of me,
of what I think, what I feel...
its the journey of me,
of how I walk, how I kneel...
its the remembrance of past,
and the reminiscence of grief...
its the time 'm searching for me,
lost and draped in the fallen leaf...
'm broken and 'm lost,
the loose sheets are them which bind me sure...
and for the rest of me is just a body,
and 'm therein complete impure...
soiled with tears of pain stricken love,
a glimpse of words never dared to be told...
and waiting for the time to speak for itself,
loose sheets that carve of nothing but truth that hold...
so cut me open, see my heart,
you will see the legitimacy and the signs apart...
yes, it is all of me and me in pages
and this is all but a form of an art...

The Moon And Me
Manauwer Raza May 2014
I was talking to the moon
Just this very night
Telling him how much
I admired its light

And then without warning
Much to my dismay
The moon got all teary-eyed
And asked me to look away

It said I had no idea
How lonely it gets up there
Watching lovers all over the world
Every night of the year

But it quickly recovered
And apologized in shame
I told him I understood
Loneliness was my middle name

We exchanged our stories
Long into the night
Then the clouds brooded up
And the moon dimmed its light

But I knew we'd meet again
We share an emptiness
And we both hide it well
Under the cover of darkness

Now we meet each night
The moon and I
It seems happier now
From when I first saw it cry

When I look at the sky
It's the first thing I see
And when it looks down '
I know its looking at me

And so it goes
Night after night
I give it my company
And it gives me its light

Ugly Hearts
Manauwer Raza Jun 2018
it's sad to realize and hurts to see
how humane is it to be human
and the worst that could be
for I see people turning themselves apart
delusional with false sense of pride
they are just beautiful faces with an ugly heart
written upon the pretext of jealousy and false appearance

All The Love I Have
Manauwer Raza May 2014
Just want someone to sing to
Someone to write about...
Someone to cling to
Someone I can't live without...
Someone to hold to
Someone who will hold me back...
Someone I can show
All the love I have...
Just want someone to walk with
At midnight on the breach...
Someone to empathize with
When I'm helpless, tired and weak...
Someone to trust with
Someone who will trust me back...
Someone who knows
All the love I have...
Just want someone to talk to
When life just isn't fair...
Someone who'll be there
When less is what I could care...
Someone who'll make
My darkness shave...
Someone who'll say I do
And say its all the love I have...

Lost Memories
Manauwer Raza May 2014
few pages of life, that remained unturned...
belonging to a diary, which was never burnt...

the pages of the diary, which was almost banal...
and with the passage of time, it was left to curl...

words created in past, that is now unclear...
reminiscence of someone, who was then very dear...

few illegible words, which was for someone certain...
but with the sands of time, has been engraved in sultry curtain...

the face of the deity whom, is sure etched in my mind...
but just can't recognize, the shape of her kind...

the pain irresistible, which was en-kindled within...
for it is hard to bear, her loss from my heart therein...

beholding my feelings, which have now turned stagnant...
wish i could ever find out, who that someone was i meant...

Hero
Manauwer Raza May 2014
We are all human
And apparently equal still
We were not meant
To cause violence or start evil…

But here we are today
Standing all alone
And it’s because we hadn’t the courage
To fight off the stick and stone…

Why couldn’t it is
Like the films we see
Where the hero never gets killed
Never does he…

It’s because we are designed
To make such mistakes
Every time stumbling
When we want something is at stake…

Why can’t we be just
And all be sane
Try not to deceive
And cause so much pain…

Is the world real
And designed to break
Or is this a dream
And we all need a good shake…

It doesn’t matter here
Cause either way
Disaster will find
A way to strike someday…

So why not step up
Why be a coward
Why to think this may be
The last and final hour…

The demons in our head
Taking away our sight
Preventing us from walking
To stand against the fight…

Cause when you look at
The person beside you
You assume they are
Thinking what you want to do…

But they stay where they are
And not take a single step
Not choosing to risk their lives
And pray to heal instead…

Can’t you see that they are also afraid
Now everyone is exchanging glances
And wondering
Who is willing to be the hero today...

The Class Scholar
Manauwer Raza May 2014
Sitting on the last bench of the class…
Adjusting the mirrors of my glass…
Stretching my arms out and loosening the tie…
Straightening my back as I lie…
I looked from the pane and out the window…
Here she comes with her charm and aglow…
A very white shirt and a blue beautiful skirt…
With flaxen hairs curled and color of dirt…
I felt the sensation and my heart start throb…
Seeing a beauty like her who won’t give up a job…
I faked my pen down and rolled up to her desk…
Then sank my head down and looked at her leg…
She bent down slowly and picked up my pen…
I forged a quick grin and stared back then…
She knew what I intended and blurted out stupid…
I though wasn’t stalking acted very timid…
She threw the pen back and her face showed anger…
It was fury but she became more pretty and lovelier…
I hooked up my tie knot and cleaned up my throat…
And at that very moment she started writing a note…
By the time she wrote I leaned back and had a look…
Her body was beautiful and I fantasized her with a book…
Her fingers were slender and her hands smeared ink…
But those delicate beauty had a nail polish of pink…
I started day dreaming and thought her to be there…
Just beside me with hands in hands in the open air…
Sitting with hands folded and she resting her head…
We both remain quiet neither one who cares to have said…
Without hesitating again I said in my coarse voice…
“I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU”, I did say twice…
She blinked her eyes and adjusted her curl…
I saw her smiling and then she hurl…
She threw the paper and asked me to read…
I did it as boldly as it was a bravery deed…
Reading the paper it was then I realize…
It was why that sly smile was in her eye…
Friends circled me and asked what did just happen…
How was I to say it was a complete dead end…
The paper she threw was not to my expectation…
All my body did was movements of sheer frustration…
I sat back my desk and drooped down my collars…
Making my tie back to the first button and looked like SCHOLAR…
Friends did read the paper and started their laugh…
What was written in it was not expected even half…
I thought I would propose and patch up with her…
But it was the thing that now I really fear…
She just wrote down in the paper below…
What if I could be her NEW CLASS BRO…???

The Missing Piece
Manauwer Raza May 2014
You do what you're suppose to do,
With no frown or fuss...
Not because you want to,
But because you must...


Day after day,
It’s like a routine...
Don’t have too much to say,
You only do the right thing...  


Soon you feel empty,
But you don't know what it could be...
You want no sympathy...


But it's something you can't see
Everything used to make sense,
But now you're lost in a maze...
You feel so tense,
And you pray for better days...


Something just doesn't seem right...
You look for an answer that's not there...
You stay awake all night...


But you feel like no one cares...
It's right in your face
And you think its safe,
Or should you forget?


Things don't seem the same,
But what should you do?
You think you should change,
But change for who?


Understanding means nothing to you now...
Your heart is pronounced deceased...
This should you allow,
Or find what is this missing piece?

sometimes...
Manauwer Raza Jan 2015
how often do you think about, why some people came into your life...
was it random, by design, or may be a li'l of both...
regardless of the reason, there are some who you just know are by your side for a while...
others you are not so sure...
and then there is that one person who, well, you hope, someday...
becomes, something more, something more than everything, but, thats okay...
for a guy who has experienced hardships like me, there is one mystery, i haven't figured out yet...
why some people come in your life... why some people go... and others, become a part of you...
some bonds last forever... and others, mmcchhh, far too soon...
not every bond is meant to last a lifetime...
what does last for ever is the PAIN, when that person is gone...

Is You
Manauwer Raza May 2014
As my emotions run wild...
All I can think of is you...
You are always on my mind...
Whether it be rain or sunshine...
All I can think of is you...
Your laughter...
Your jokes...
Your sensitivity...
Your understanding...
All I can think of is you...
You are compassionate and endearing...
Polite and caring...
Yet mysteriously distancing...
All I can think of is you...
When I'm with you, my heart races...
As I think of something clever to say...
My breathing rapidly increases...
When you sneak a glance my way...
So all I can think of is you...
Yet at these thoughts, my heart cries in pain...
Because I love you, but you don’t feel the same...
I imagine us together, falling in love...
But I become depressed...
Feeling as though I'm plummeting from above...
So again you rescue me as only you can...
I wish you could know...
That this burden on my shoulders...
Has nowhere to go...
I'm carrying the weight of the world above me...
I can't tell you how I feel...
Though my love is real...
Because you don't love me...
I'm preoccupied worrying...
Whether it's worth it, I am worth it...
To get my emotions churning...
Only to realize I'm not perfect...
But in the end...
All I can think of is you...

The Path
Manauwer Raza May 2014
Walking depressed somewhere
In the grim of night
When the lights were gone
And the hopes were quiet.

With sensibility of mind
Taunting cold and numb
The feeling of creeping strength
Which was awfully dumb.

In the darkness so profound
And the stones thronging in the way
There was every chance to fear
For the goal was far far away.

Then coming through some wood ahead
A glowing candle with flickering wick
Showing me a path to follow
Even though the late fog was thick.

The shifting of the breeze
And the gleam of the golden azure haze
Tempting my buoyant nature
And calming me for the waiting bright days.

A Battle Within
Manauwer Raza Jul 2014
day after day I fight a battle
to hold inside what I feel
strangling, to fight my chances
and cry while in prayers I kneel

its not easy when I smile and talk
while inside I am all hurt and cold
without human warmth or emotion
still walking and facing things bold

years of loneliness
and words stricken with lies
I keep saying to myself holding back
the tears in my eyes

is there anyone out there?
to reach out to me
give me a little of their happiness
and give me a hope to see

I don't need or ask for much
someone who would stand there worth
just a gentle hand on my shoulder
and a care really wouldn't hurt

there is nothing but all truth
in my lies that I say
but not that I am actually lying
this is the truth I deny in some way

'm just tired of crying myself
to sleep at night
then waking up with emptiness
and tears in my eyes

The Need For You

oh hie my butterfly, how is you...
what makes your eyes turn so blue...
i think i could use a fresh beginning too...
for all of my regrets are nothing new...
so may be, this is the way that i say i need You...

now when i see where i lie...
its in the past that where i die...
so 'm just learning to leave...
taking all the time, giving me a chance to breathe...
gathering myself in 'm learning to crawl...
trying to find the peace within 'm stopping this howl...
'm finding that YOU and YOU alone...
can break my fall...
'm living again, awake and alive...

'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies...

yesterday i left...
and my head kicked in...
i never knew, all my life where you've been...
i never, never thought that...
i would fall like that...
never knew that i could hurt this bad...

so this could be the way i say...
i need YOU...
this is the way that i say i love YOU...
this is the way that i say 'm YOURs this time...
and with the passing hours you're all mine...

when they need someone to rely on...

for i always be...
in the dark and in hopelessness
i stand there, and they see...

but, enough already...
for my feet are sore and the shoulders heave...
and helping others, i have lost me, time and beyond
i remain, still without peace...

you need to know
Manauwer Raza Jan 2015
the more i go through around my head
the more i am sure to think...
my entire life is a lie, a hopeless life lived
things that i did, i see it all in the blink...

and realized a little bit later
you do much better than me...
after all the lies that i made you believe
guilt kicks in and i start to see...

the edge of the long unending nights
where your memories, your sweet words used to be...
continually telling you sweetness, i was there for you
but afraid, i lied, and hid all locks without the key...

what it felt like beside you, when you were there
living in the falsehood, saying, i want to live this moment...
the way your innocence tastes filled, think you should know this
that it was all but a lie, a hoax, a forged event...

while looking through my old piles of notes
i found those pictures i took, that we shared together...
if there's one memory i don't want to ever lose
was resting all my troubles, within your gentle feather...

never expected, never asked, never wanted, to feel
your touch, your hug, your kisses, in my soul...
just cause i loved you unconditionally, without a desire
and not your body, and i claim no foul...

but what i see, i wasn't perfect enough to blend
in the false of everything that would ever show...
that love is, loving alone, and then let go
i wish, this is all, that you need to know...

The Man In The Mirror
Manauwer Raza May 2014
I see nobody by my side,
a certain urge of plunge ignited beside…
But with my soul left all alone,
I find no one correcting me when ‘m wrong…
It’s human to err and to learn,
through one’s rise and his fall…
But eventually I see myself staring,
entirely broken in the mirror on the wall…
And hear the voices that echo deep,
through inhuman brute yield that creep…
The loathly sound persistent every night and day,
with gruesome hate THE MAN IN THE MIRROR say…
“look at me, when ‘m talking to you,
perhaps I see you’re looking through…
That gleam in your eyes that has now fade,
not enough to make yourself persuade…”
I find myself see blood in his eyes,
and the unending solitude in the skies…
I see the pain healing when I pray,
now & then when I crave for redemption each day…
The cruel intentions, when I see ‘m not satisfied,
the chores, the day dreaming which has now died…
All of the measures, desperately off the scales,
making me believe that I see myself, and nobody else…
I see the guilt beneath the shame,
standing still, with eyes laden on the mirror pane…
Sears of grief stricken life that remains,
and the truth in my lies seem so insane…

Death - The Gift Of Life
Manauwer Raza May 2014
There’s nothing certain but death
All in the world that is exactly set
We are born and live to die
Death the only gift of life
We fret, make noise shout and cry
We skid hills to valley and back try
Get torn among home, work and friends
Looking for loose folds and ends
There’s nothing certain but death
All in the world that is exactly set
We fight we grin we spurn we scream
We ****** the dagger until we bleed
All to achieve and amass
As lonely as the highland grass
We are born and live to die
Death the only gift of life
Walk we straight with pride
Look we people in the eye
Seldom do we stop and stoop
But with shoulders draped and hanged droop
There’s nothing certain but death
All in the world that is exactly set

We make friends yet sly
Break hearts and water eyes
Too proud to bend or mend
Lots of commotion set to apprehend
We are born and live to die
Death the only gift of life
Each death promise another
A whole new story to bother
Our life breath and gives froth novel life
To another birth to die again and strife
There’s nothing certain but death
All in the world that is exactly set
Never can we live past in life
In death we reach the very start
From dust we come to dust we return
There’s nothing certain but death
Death the only gift of life

Nothing Is Ever As Perfect
Manauwer Raza May 2014
Let me tell you a story,
A psalm from the past that I sung,
This over period turned to elegy,
And took everything that I once dreamed.

I lose my love for her and then,
It is her, who is lost,
And then it is both who are lost,
And nothing is ever as perfect as I want it to be.

In a very ordinary world of existence,
A most extraordinary pain mingles with the small routines,
The loss seems huge and yet,
Nothing can be pinned down or fully explained.

I am afraid,
If I found the meaning of life again,
It would scald my hands,
Rip the skin from the nerves,
And leave me broken with a shattered heart.

I lose my love for her and then,
It is her, who is lost,
I try not to hurt and yet,
Everything I touch become a wound,
I try to mend what cannot be mended,
I try, neither foolish nor clumsy,
To rescue what cannot be rescued.

I failed,
And now she is elsewhere,
And my nights feel insecure,
I pray saving the smiles left on others,
Try to make them feel alive,
But its mine, the lips that are utterly drained.

How easy it would be,
If love could be brought back to me,
As in like, a hand wrapped with hugs,
Or just rained down on me,
Like the drizzles of the shower,
Or gathered in like nectar,
How lovely it would be,
But nothing is ever as perfect as you want it to be.

The Change That You Made
Manauwer Raza May 2014
I looked the other side of me
when I was lonely and everything around me…
Started scraping with the gust of wind
everything so serene and I was fearing within…
And as an Aphrodite you glanced and gave me a smile
ah, the grin so lovely I didn’t forget all this while…
It was your presence that made the passion through
the adherence of love that I felt thence true…
The feeling of triumph and the colors of a rainbow
with you by my side a new hope for the beginning to show…

You clenched my hands and cuddled with spree
and my buoyant spirit flourished as a novel tree…
The warmth of your love made it feel so cherish
giving the sprouting tree with love to nourish…
Your smile, your voice, your touch, your eyes
unending hour of delight and eternal moments of surprise...
I owed you my faith and its sparkling glory
for I could then say I had a new story…
Now, when you're gone and dwell in the stars
I have all your memories etched with scars...
Thank you my love to help lose my vanity
make a person out of me and drew me happy...
For when I now look the new side of me
in the years of your absence, just everything around me...
Have the inscriptions of your love in the air
always close to me every time, everywhere...
With you in me and the coolness of breeze
I am so full of you and praying the time to freeze…

Need To Find You
Manauwer Raza May 2014
Every moment I think I'm closer to the heart
And it means to know, just who I am
I think I've finally found a better place to start
But where to begin is all I need to find
I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be, you're not that far?
You're the sight that turns my way
The reason that I even try
I need to find it,
I need to find you...

You're all that glimmering stars in the night
The glisten in my eyes that thrive
The hopes and happiness in me
The pride that makes all of me strive
I need to find it,
I need to find you...

You're all that relief, so hard to find
To find me through the labyrinth I see inside
Painting all my dreams the color of your smile
When I find you it will be alright
I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be, you're not that far?
You're the arms that keep me from falling
The reason that I still stand and walk
I need to find it,
I need to find you…

You're the morale of my life
The truth that I want not to deny
The present that is all I want now
The courage that will help me defy
I need to find it,
I need to find you…

I’ve been feeling lost, can't find the words to say
Spending all my time stuck in yesterday
But where you are is where I want to be
Just next to you and you next to me
Oh, I need to find it,
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The sound that keeps me telling
I need to find it,
I need to find you…

You're the missing piece I need
The part of my love that I yearn
The shroud that will hide me from fear
And help me guide through all the turn
So, I need to find it,
I need to find you…

i don't know what to feel
everything in the room looks gloomy
all the words fell from my mouth
like petals of iris unfolding
but not as pretty...

how to be now
what to say and do
i've never felt this way
and never want to again...

so if it all comes back
am i to just say yes?
like nothing ever happened?
who does that...???

the demise from the past
always haunts the bruised mind,
occasionally maybe even swaying decisions
and views to avoid a repeat
of the last time...

can't act as if, not one fiber was attached
to itself
i can’t be cordial
i can’t be civil
i want what i wanted
but it doesn’t happen that way...

'm still burning
and the thorns pierce
through my chest
something on the inside
is bleeding...

i can't translate this language
the language i have yearned
kept that quiet for that very long
but words,
they don't wait
do they...

is this my language...???

Love
Manauwer Raza May 2014
Love is a miracle,
as sweet as it can be…
That has always tempered many minds,
and will always remain a complete mystery…
For though it is a something,
that is worth centuries old…
Thriving in the core of heart,
that can’t be purchased for either silver or gold…
But instead must be given,
of one’s own free will…
And received with no promises,
but love that it must fulfill…
And once its exchanged,
in this time honored way…
there’s nothing love can’t,
or manage to say…
No problems too great,
and no problems too small…
For love like miracle,
conquer them all…
And leaves in their place
such a feeling called peace…
that dwell just like love,
can’t help but increase…

Are You The One
Manauwer Raza May 2014
Are you the one,
Who will bring me love?

Will you hold me close and blow my mind?
I'll make it easy for you to find,
Just place your palm into my face,
Then do your best to get into my head...

Let's be closer than we thought we could be,
Let's open our eyes and begin to see,
Each other as we want, not as society wants us to be,
Let me show them how much you mean to me...

Caress my tears and mop up my heart,
Show me you need me and hold me in your arms,
Close to your *****, resting on your charms,
A perfect pillow, to rest my head covered in arms...

Pick me up, my brain is in pieces,
Show me you feel the same as me,
Show me that I can feel the same to be
Show me you can't go on without me...

Lift me off this cold, hard floor,
Raise me up and hold me close,
Give me a shoulder to cry upon,
Give me a kiss or maybe a hug,
Give me back a feeling of fun...

And maybe then we could fall in love...

An ordinary day
Manauwer Raza Apr 2019
It's so hard to tell, what all am I going through
The rain has drenched me wet,  my eyes are all blue
My lips smiles soft, as in not to give my truth away
But the emptiness creep in,  the hole in my heart's doorway
It's all in a mess, my mind isn't the same
There are terrible facade of happiness, all of which is sham
The counsel of whats, ifs and all the buts
The uneasy feeling that gnaw me from inside, always in my guts
As if something is broken all from the inside, a knife that carves
Pieces by pieces it's falling apart, in shards and plenty of halves
I am my own saviour, my own hero as long as I go
There are no good mornings, no good byes, no hello
Unable to share myself to anyone, this burden gets heavy more than it should
But, even if I do, it won't make any sense, as you all fight your demons, you should
And again, its all momentarily, where I learn to fly above all these with wings
Around the silver lining, above the clouds of hope, but coming down is the hardest thing
It's getting tougher and tougher each passing day
And yet, somehow, I am supposed to feel, it didn't happen yesterday

Friend
Manauwer Raza May 2014
Thank you for being
Such a friend to me
Oh I pray a friend for life
And have I ever told you
How much you mean to me
Oh you are everything to me
I'm thinking all the time
How to tell you what I feel
I'm contemplating phrases
I'm gazing on eternity
I am floating in serenity
And I am so lost for words
And I am so overwhelmed
Please don't go just yet
Can we stay a moment please
We can dance together
We can dance forever
Under your stars tonight
And then you can fly
To the stars you dream of
Close your eyes, but don't dream too deep
And please pass me some memories
And when I feel you're underneath
A touch of your hands
Would make the sky alive
And with you I’ll fly

Me
Manauwer Raza May 2014
Me
I want to be brought back on earth
I want to feel alive
But inside ‘m feeling like
All I want to do is die

Trying to claw my way
Back into life
So why is it for so many years
I've never found what is right

So much is so wrong and
It can’t ever change
I don't want to live this life
Feeling just the same

Filled with nothing but hate
Running through my veins
I have had nothing but sadness
And so much pain

I want it all to stop and
For me to be free
But how can I when I know that
What is missing is, well me…
