I wept as I walked down the aisle
My heart was throbbing in severe pain
A bouquet of roses in my shivering  hands
I felt like a zombie in a wedding dress

My dad, dashing in tuxedo
Smiling proudly as he gave my hand
To this total stranger...
A wealthy entrepreneur  ...
His type of son in law
Very little information that I knew about

Marriage was not something that i planned
Marriage was something that arranged in my culture
My So called Happiness was set before me
Just needed me to say I Do
Love marriage is something impossible
Falling in love?
Yet another taboo

I cried oh I cried
I wanted to see the world
I have so much to do
Places to visit
People to meet
Happiness is what I sought for
On my own  

Yes the diamond ring
i was tempted to wear
Wasn't so sure should
I tie the knot.
Should i travel the universe

I hated what I did
But I was not regretting either
Sorry daddy
What a big disappointment
today...
Once again...
I had to be a runaway bride...

If
If I dream when I sleep that life is full of joy,
then I wake up and feel that man just plays the role of a toy.
If I dream when I sleep that life is a game,
then I wake up and feel that man lives just for fame.
If I dream when I sleep that life is a journey,
then I wake up and feel that man cannot decide his destiny.
If I dream when I sleep that life is a song,
then I wake up and feel that how man can sing it for so long.
If I dream when I sleep that life is a beauty,
then I wake up and feel that life is a duty.
If I want a dream to share with you,
then I hope it will come true.
If I want to be a ray of light,
then I wish it brings glory to the dawn and dispels the night.
If I want to be the river that makes the soil fertile,
then I wish it should last forever.
If I want to be the dew drop that adorns the grass and the flowers,
then I wish they dance when the winds pass.
No matter if I am none of these!
My life is an accomplished one if,
I can spread the fragrance of “Humanity”.

She’s brewing like rich wine
the older she gets
her each added faceline
my eyes satiates.

She’s huing like violets
purpling is her soul
tho older she gets
she's never too ole.

She’s frothing like nectar
honeying in core
feels endless this affair

I’m loving her more.

that the trending tags,
for but a single day,
banished the perennials,
all celebrated the occasion
with a rousing wake and
an indecent burial

out **** spots,
sad, pain, heartbreak and depression,
in the closet, once a year, annual,
as for death,
it's ugly head,
cutoff, spiked and disliked,
in the tower displayed

for twenty four, de minimus,
on a day mutual selected,
we compose only
of the beauty, and the kindness
in each and all of us
In honor of Pradip
is your faith so fragile
you **** to protect it?
no notes necessary
when you go to that lane
where the houses are graves
their rooms only pain
shadows' dark waves

where winds pause morose
light is barred
closed doors and windows
keep sunshine debarred

where walls are deadened
reeking of moss
the way is a dead end
weighed with cross

you would meet a hollow face
covered in hood
who would ask *all these days
you did what good.
