The chilling nature who stood still,

Once decided to dance her way,

Inflicting a stir around as she moved,

Causing the world a great loss.


Thousands took their last breath,

While countless lost their shelters and families.

Rescuers sweat day and night,

Holding on to a fading hope.


The city that was once smiling,

Turned to a mass of shattered rubble.

Homes that were once full of laughter,

Declined to a mass of ****** dust.


The nature stopped her dance and left,

Leaving behind a cracked dance floor,

Leaving an air of cold death,

Leaving the whole earth mourning.

She called me then,
To say she wants to see me.
I kept mum, and didn't go.
I gave excuses that I were busy,
And she heard me holding her pain.

She called me again,
To visit her soon,
She was in tears, and was desperate,
I said I'll see her, once the time is right,
And she hung up, as hopeless as before.

She called me yesterday,
Her voice was weak,
She wanted to see me, but I didn't go,
I said I'll be there in a few days,
She silently agreed to me.

Today I'm going to meet her,
She, my mom, lay there still.
Her eyes are closed and calm,
She never complained anymore,
All she did was welcome me with her dead silence.

Words are to be tasted,
They could be sweet, bitter, sour or hot,
They leave an aftertaste once chewed,
They are to be felt.

Words are to be touched,
They could hug you, caress you, or push you away,
They could leave a memory or a scar,
They are to be felt.

Words are to be kissed,
They could be pecks, lustful ones or boisterous kisses,
They could make you crave or bleed,
They are to be felt.

Words are to be smelt,
They could be sniffed, inhaled or gasped in,
They could be fragrances you cherish, or the ones of pain,
They are to be felt.

Words are to be loved,
They are to be shared, remembered or given,
They could keep you alive, or die for,
They are to be felt.

Let me take a stroll
Through the times when only 'we' existed for us,
Through the days when you were my first sight and last thought,
Through the times when each kiss could bring a poem to shame.

Let me take a stroll
Into the days of darkness and despair,
Into nights that I wept to sleep,
Into moments I feared you're gone.

Let me take a stroll
To the past I never wanna go
To the memories I never want back
To the thoughts that I never wanna revisit.

Let me take a stroll,
Among the lovely phases of life to come,
Among the beautiful songs we're yet to sing,
And a wonderful life that awaits us.

When I'm gone before you,
Forget all the bad times we've had,
Remember only the best moments,
And smile that all of them happened.

When I'm gone before you,
Forget all the struggles I've had in life,
Remember only my victories and achievements,
And smile that my struggle has ended eternally.

When I'm gone before you,
Forget and forgive all the wrongs I've done to you,
Remember only the goodness in me, if any,
And smile that we got to know each other.

When I'm gone before you,
Forget the worry about my loss,
Remember to realise that I'm no more in pain,
And smile that I'm content wherever I am.

When life takes you places,
When you climb the ladder of success,
When your eyes search for that smile,
Close your eyes, I'm there.

When your friends aren't near you,
When you feel all lonely n sad,
When nothing stops your tears,
Close your eyes, I'm there.

When you weave your dreams,
When you take each step forward,
When your heart longs for that inspiration,
Close your eyes, I'm there.

When the world is cold to you,
When nothing seems right for you,
When a hand to hold is all you need,
Close your eyes, I'm there.        

When all your charm is lost,
When there's no more life in you,
When you see death so close,
Close your eyes, I'm there.

I want you to touch me,
******, tease and taste me,
Cherish and not forget me,
And remember me with a smile when I'm away.

I want you to fight over me,
Hold me tight and never let me go,
Tell the world that I complete you,
And show the passion you'd always had.

I want you to weep for me,
Show them how much I mean to you,
Tell them you're nothing without me,
For I'm the love that resides in you.

Let me love you
Till my arms ache of holding you
Till each day starts with an embrace
And each of them ends with a cuddle.

Let me love you
Till my eyes have lost vision
Of all the times I've gazed at you
And all the moments my eyes met yours.

Let me love you
Till my ears go deaf of the outside world
Till all I hear is your voice
That reaches me in soft whispers.

Let me love you
Till my smiles turn into wrinkles
Till you can no longer make me blush
And we can no longer stay apart.

The only darkness I love is
When all I see is the glint in your eyes,
The only shadow I love to watch is
Your shadow that refuses to leave mine,
The only emptiness I enjoy is
The empty space that's filled with us and our dreams,
The only struggle I love is
When I fight for you!

If I'm *******,
Let it be in your embrace,
If I'm suffocated,
Let it be in the depth of your love,
If I'm breathless,
Let me breathe you in,
If death comes to me,
Let me die living for you.

I want to be
The glisten in your eyes...
The shine of your smile...
The words that you speak...
The silence that you embrace often...
The soft strokes that you draw...
The chosen theme of your poetry...
The lyrics that you sing...
The music that you hear...
The love that you feel...
The pain that you conceal...
The air that you inhale...
The life that you live...

I want to be
The reason for your existence.
