Your smile still gives
wings to my hopes
And they soar high
Like an eagle
Into an infinitely beautiful
Limitless sky above
But your words
Never fail
To clip their wings
And impair their flight
Till they fall down
Like a corpse
And turn nebulous
With doubts
Only to rise again
Like a Phoenix
From oblivion
The moment your smile
Greets my eyes  
Yet again

You
I no longer wilt
In your absence
I bloom like a cactus
In a desert

I keep finding flaws
In my natural reflection
And keep searching for beauty
In my unnatural reflection
then sit and wonder
Why am I bereft
of any sort of happiness

This nauseating feeling
Of insignificance
Has turned my mind
Into an asylum of sorts
Where I am the only qualified doctor
Giving myself a false diagnosis
All the **** time

Love is a collision of infinities
A profusion of profound
And mesmerizing feelings
Which defies all tangible
And transcendental extremities
And ignites a furore
Of compelling desires
And insatiable cravings
Which is able to make a mortal  
shiver unexpectedly
in sweltering heat
As well as dance bare chested
In a biting weather
Fueled by the warmth
Of its sheer ecstasy
I guess it's a part
of God's grand scheme
To make us believe
That magic
Still exists

I will walk
Till I count
The shades of dusk tonight
Sit near the evergreens
And listen to the countless tales
Of adamantine stars
Scattered like dew drops
Across a vast velvety sky
Waltz with the wind
And let her take me
To a land
As beautiful as paradise
Discover the secrets
That makes the leaves sussurate
Like a group of kids
Planning for their next mischievous act
Let the raindrops
Kiss my skin
Slowly at first
Then with a renewed enthusiasm
And fill me up
With an intoxicating clarity
That'll make me pirouette
Like drunken fool
Oblivious to the slippery sidewalk
Follow the trail
Of a gorgeous moon
And find a place
Whose sublime silence
And soporific ambiance
accentuated by nocturnal melodies
Beckons a tide of rosy dreams
To swirl inside my mind
And make my eyelids droop
With a deluge of delirious joy
Only then I'll walk
Towards my home
And lay my head down
Imbued with sanguine hopes and desires
I'll call it a night
Knowing too well
That when I'll wake up
I'll greet the day
With a smile as warm
as an everlasting sunshine

Some days
I feel as desolate
As a martian landscape
And my mind becomes
A large island
Which harbors thoughts
That ignite a tsunami of emotions
Against which my resistance turns weak
And I most definitely sink
In those days
I contemplate the futility of my existence
And wish to fade away
With the following sunset
Cause my attempts to think optimistically
Makes me feel like a lunatic
Who's in a persistent state of denial
About a bitter and sad reality
Which renders a sense of calm and comfort
On days
Other than these
