As long as you're here
Ashish Gaur May 2018
She washed away my feelings,
with my tears
He shattered my wings,
with my fears

That day I kissed a girl
made of thorns,
and somehow love found me
in his arms

I knew I wanted her
I knew I needed him

I've been waiting for so long.

Yet we're here
Yet we're torn.
we mended each other
we lost and found one another

Still I sense that
emptiness, growing inside of me.
Still I feel like
this will, be the end of me.

Because I lose myself
whenever I am with you
And little by little
I become a part of you

and then we become one,

we become our tears
we become our fears.

I look into his eyes,
I hold her tight
without saying any words
we read each others mind

we forget our qualms
for a moment or two,
because it's going to be alright,
as long as you're here too

A good Story
Ashish Gaur Jul 2018
Everybody's searching for them,
Everybody's consumed by them,
Everybody's trapped in a circle to complete,
Everybody's here for a story to tell,

a story that's lost in time,
a story that makes us feel more alive,

a dream that makes us who we are,
a moment that changes us forever,
a feeling we're chasing for eternity,
a wish we're hiding in vanity,

So many we are,
So few we can be,

All these stories we're running after,
All these stories we're running away from,
All these stories we can be,
All these stories which were meant to be,
All these stories we're afraid of,
All these stories our hatred is made of,
All these stories we love,
All these stories we yearn,

So many stories to tell
So little, is Infinite itself

And at the end we'll know
we're not the stories we chose
Because one day every story ends
leaving us with a new life to begin

Dreamy Night
Ashish Gaur Aug 2018
I close my eyes
To look into your eyes.
I take a deep breath
To savour your fragrance.

I dip my conscience
In the figment of your imagination.
I lose my senses
In the sparkles of your smile.

My heartbeat slows down
To the sound of your presence.
My world spins around
To be a part of your essence.

My soul resonates
With a gentle touch of your palm.
My spirit resuscitates
With a glimpse of your thought.

Tonight I swim
In the sea of your memories.
Tonight I surrender
In the world of your dreams.

Tonight I relive those moments
With you in my mind.
Tonight I let go of all doubts
With you by my side.

Some day
Ashish Gaur Jun 2018
You wouldn't understand
what I feel every time
whenever I look at you
I paint you in my mind

I become speechless
I become motionless
whenever you're here
I become somebody else

I try to reach for words
but all I hear is your voice
I try to meet your gaze
but all my efforts go in vain

I convince myself
not today
the petty condones
I make day by day

and you're here oblivious of
how much you've invaded my mind
because losing myself is so easy these days
whenever I see you from the corner of my eye

Some day I'll muster all the courage
and have a dance with you
Some day We'll sit beside each other
and have an ice scream scoop
Some day I'll smile with you
while we laugh at our weird peccadillos
Some day I'll leave behind my doubts
and you'll know what my world is without you

it's going to Rain
Ashish Gaur Jul 2018
It feels like being caught in rain
You never know when it happens
and usually it happens at the most unexpected place

It starts with a lightning
and the thunders roaring
while the darkness in a haste
consumes the whole world

Some people run away from it
Some of us hide from it
and others pull out an umbrella
hoping it'll all pass away

But when it happens with us
we hold each others hand tightly
Shivering and doubtful of the unknown
we endure it together waiting it to begin

Because when the dark clouds settles
and the weather calms down
we're left with rainbow colors
and petrichor in the soothing winds
the droplets soaking our body
filling our heart with a sweet sense

We stand there forever
Till the only thing that remains,
is a feeling which possesses us
just like the Rain

Aajkal
Ashish Gaur Mar 2021
Aajkal Bolna hota hai kuch merko
Par kuch aur hi bol jata hu me
Aajkal hasta sabke saath hu me
Bas tumhare saath hi muskura pata hu me

Aajkal harr raat sone toh jata hu me
Par sapno me tumhari awaz sunke uth jata hu me
Aajkal ek hi gane ko sau baar sunta hu me
Phir kyu tumko soch kar sau gane likh jata hu me

Aajkal hota toh me yehi pe hu
Par kissi aur ke khayalo me doob jata hu me
Aajkal raaste toh bahut leta hu me
Par manzilo me tum tak pahuch jata hu me

Aajkal zindagi lagti hai mere sapno ki tarah
Phir lagta hai galti se uth na jau me khi
Aajkal har pal jeeta hu me zindagi ki tarah
Phir sochta hu ye pal bheet na jae khi

Aajkal sanse tham jaati hai meri
Bas Jab bhi hoti ** tum sath
Aajkal dhadkne dhadkti hai meri
Bas Jab tak tum ** saath

Dahlia
Ashish Gaur Aug 2018
Captivated by her beauty
with a never ending symmetry.
Passer by's couldn't resist
just to get her one glimpse.

Made out of vibrant colours
She's the epitome of beauty.
The definition of elegance
She filled the world with her radiance.

But only the curious one knew
hidden inside her was a truth.
Mesmerised by her beauty
they'd pluck her out of her roots.

They'd hold her tightly
caressing her petals softly.
Trying to make sense out of
her overwhelming beauty.

Until they could finally see
the truth that was hidden beneath.
Sensing her completely now
they'd leave her trembling on the ground.

She withered in cold.
She twitched in the mud.
Trampled by the passer by's
who even refused to look at her.

Fate played her again
Leading her to her flagrance.
Because only the few of us knew
She's Dahlia,
A beautiful flower; without a fragrance.

Please don't just say Hi
Ashish Gaur Aug 2018
the way you look, you look into my soul
well please stop now, because I am losing control

Hold on a second, I am taking a deep breather
Constantly asking myself, am I really with such a cute stranger

It's making me nervous, it's making me high
All that ice cream, and I don't even get a smile ?

I can't think anymore, I think I am getting hypnotised
All I was doing was just, looking into your eyes

Maybe this sounds a bit like a war cry
but hey you know what

I can't just say

Hi
A girl told me that you just can't say hi to start a conversation. So I wrote this.

She dreams
Ashish Gaur Jun 2018
Have you seen the beauty in that rock,
That lifeless cold piece sitting in the dark
They will tell you it's not right, that you're out of your mind
But the creator blinded by nature, will always be by your side

Have you ever made them believe
Tearing your vocals, killing your ego, for that belief
But still they move around you; as if they don't hear any voice
Eerily weirdly, they pretend they don't have a choice.

Have you ever looked the Devil straight into its eyes
And hear it say that you can't do it, it comes at a price.
Break those chains those hollow promises
And show him that you had already done it.

Have you ever been lost just to be found again
By the person you care, you want her to know you again.
In that pursuit though you should be aware
You are hurt, but now, you are also a broken pair.

Have you ever gone into the deepest portion of the sea
Where you're sitting at the bottom waiting, just waiting her to see
At that point you'll hear her voice, feel her presence
whilst all this time she's always there for you.

And that is when you'll realise that you've forgotten her
listening to all the empty voices, you had send her to oblivion
Since then she has been waiting for you undeceived
because she hopes, she trusts, she believes, she dreams.

— The End —
