How do I put into words?
The moon is over and above enchanting,
After catching a glimpse of you!

For all of eternity,
My diary shall bear,
Two imperishable details,
My penmanship,
And, your name!

My quest will continue,
Till the end of time,
Across all realms,
And, the spacetime continuum,
Beyond all known dimensions,
While chartering new destinations,
For that one blessing,
To lay my eyes on you again,
Even amidst a hurricane,
And, feel what I felt before,
For the first time even more!

I asked my heart,
Time and again,
Over the span of time,
And, I know now the ultimate truth,
A realisation as pleasant as the moon,
About what poetry is,
And, that is you!

I wonder how many times,
I've treasured you,
Looking at you,
From yonder and near,
But, not once,
Have my yearning eyes been lost,
And, gone past the twinkle in yours.

You are what you are!
But, do you know who you are?

You are...

What's between desire and greed,
What's between a longing and a blessing,
What's between time and the space continuum,
What's between the rise and the fall,
What's between direction and an ambition,
What's between relief and cheer,
What's between my sanity and peace,
What's between the favoured and the pure,
What's between an infatuation and tenderness,
What's between the beginning and immeasurable eternity,
What's between magic and mayhem,
What's between aggression and grace,
What's between stillness and elation,
What's between perseverance and tranquility,
What's between a crusade and a pilgrimage,
What's between a prayer and gratitude,
What's between my reality and fantasy,
What's between Aphrodite and Athena,
What's between surrender and defiance,
What's between priority and integrity,
What's between an obsession and a fascination,
What's between existence and extinction,
What's between style and elegance,
What's between an adventure and a celebration,
What's between beauty and allure,
What's between creation and the universe,
What's between life and mercy,
What's between love and remembrance...

And, you are more!

Would you ever know?
What that small smile,
At the corner of your precious lips does?

The sweet surrender of man,
For your love across an aeon.

My heart says,
Looking at you,
The finest this world has ever seen,
Beauty this realm is so keen,
To yearn more everyday,
So, no matter what may come,
You'll be there to stay,
Though in your heart I may not dwell,
But, my eyes will tell,
That you are the epitome,
Of nature and the heavens,
And, a godsend,
For, you are perfection,
The quintessence of a creation,
And, the testimony of entirety,
In all of eternity!

If weakness is unveiled

Would a foe be a friend?




If your skin read like braille


Could that friend be a lover?

Ready am I, to make sacrifices for true love
For as long as I live
Spend less money, I can
Reduce my screen time, I can
Travel less, I can
Eat less sweet items, I can
Sleep less, maybe I can
Write less, maybe I can
However, there are certain things
On which I cannot compromise
Because I hate breaking promises
For me, is keeping my word everything!
For example, never can I change my character
After all, my principles are my anchors
Change my world views, I cannot
Show less love or affection, I cannot
Give up meat, I cannot
Stop travelling by train, I cannot
Compromise on my relationships with family or friends, I cannot
Irrespective of the gender
Because they are my bread and butter!!

Ready am I, to make sacrifices for true love
A lot, am I ready to give
My precious time, yes
My precious money, yes
My precious energy, yes
More confident, can I be
More assertive, can I be
More courageous, can I be
Smarter, can I be
Fitter, can I be
Humbler, can I be
More forgiving, can I be
Less hot-headed, can I be
Less stubborn, can I be
Less insecure, can I be
Less shy, can I be
However, the most important thing is to strike a balance
Find that middle path
Avoid extremes as far as possible
And last but not the least
It needs to be worth it!!
