Every morning I wake up
feeling a void in my heart.  
I stare at the friendly knife,
wishing to soak it
in my pool of blood.

I saw her walking on a full moon night ,
Wearing a silver gown ,
Her face shining like a brilliant star .
She looked at me and smiled .

I stood ,wondering who she was .
Soon, I found her standing next to me .
She greeted me with her embrace,
and a kiss upon my lips.

Alas! I  woke up -
It was only a dream.

Don't break a heart





Just take a break....

I am afraid ,
not of dying,
but to be born again .

I am afraid ,
not of my enemies ,
but to fall in love again.

I am afraid,
not of death,
but to live one more life
with a broken heart.

The more it hurts

The more you realize

The depth of your own love.

Once there was a black princess.  
Everyone thought she was cursed .
No one loved, nobody cared.
She grew up all alone.
She was brave and kind .

She fought and fought,
refused to just survive.

She fought,
never gave up.

She fought and fought ,
till her voice was heard.

She became a warrior princess,
leader of her army.
Won many battles over the years.
Her bravery was acknowledged,
even by her enemies.

And when it was time
to sit on the throne,
she became a noble queen.

I want to break
all the shackles
that bind my heart
to you.
I want to break free.

Take away all the hurt.  
Take away all the pain.
I want to breathe.
I  want to break free.

A man, dejected
with a broken heart,
snapped all the ties
from his world,
roamed about places
one to the next
in search of peace.

One day he found himself
in a distant Fairy Land.
The fairies were surprised
to find him amongst them.
One fairy asked him
what he wanted.
Taken aback by the question
he said ,"A new heart."
The fairy said,"Don't worry, we do have a heart shop."
She took him there.
There he saw all kinds of hearts-
Some made of gold, some of silver,
and some normal too.

In another corner he saw
a collection of broken hearts
beautifully kept.
Out of curiosity he asked the fairy
why they kept those broken hearts.
She smiled and said,
"They are the epic story tellers."
Amazed by her words,
he left with his broken heart
back to his world.

Once I was asked..if I could,
would I trade my broken heart with a perfect new heart ?
As tempting as it was,
I said I would not.
"Strange", he said. "Why not?"
With a smile I replied

"It is my broken heart that has turned me into a poet.
Each time it aches, emotions flows like a river
from where a beautiful new poem is born ,
which then I share with the world,
to bring them a moment of joy. "

I never needed you.  

I only wanted you.

When happy,
she heals
with her beauty.

When angry,
she kills
with her fury.

Let my heart fill with joy.
Let go of all the sorrows.
If hope keeps the world alive,
fill my heart with hope.

Your memories still bring tears to my eyes,
please remove them from my heart.
Set my aching heart free,
let it be whole again.

Once there was a lonely girl,
dejected by the people she loved,
began to live in isolation.
Made friends with birds and bees.

One day she found a human friend,
who brought her back to the real world.
There,she found a treasure -
It made her happy again.

She was living joyfully once more,
with her new found treasure.  
But her happiness was short- lived.
In her solitude she refused
to take care of herself.

Now her body has turned fragile.
She knows her heart could stop anytime.
All she could think of now
was about her new found treasure.

What will happen to it after she was gone ?
So she asked her friend
the only person she trusted.

She offered him her treasure
hoping he would keep it safe
but her offer was turned down
for it was not his to keep.

With a broken heart
she went back to her old friends
stayed there till her final breath.

And the treasure she once held so dear
turned to dust in time.

Loving you was my crime.

You punished me for life.

The storm has passed.  
Now there is silence.
Pain is silently sitting
in some corners of my heart,
waiting to drift into a deep slumber,  
never to be awakened again.

While sitting alone
under the shade of a tree
lost in the pages of my favorite book
an unexpected guest visited me-
a beautiful blue butterfly.
It sat on the tip of my left thumb, momentarily
then flew away
leaving me a moment of joy
a joy that still surrounds -
makes me smile.

Forgive me if you can

or see me die in pain.

You said, "It's over"
as if it was dinner .

It is love,
it is forever.

"Forget about him.
Let him go.
Don't think.
Just let go,"
So they say.

"Well ,why not?" I said
"How hard can it be?"

I kept thinking about forgetting him,
then fell asleep.
There he was again,
smiling in my dream,
as if saying, "Happy forgetting."

One day, I was sitting idle,
feeling so lost, so lonely,
wishing for a friend
who would sit by me,
listen to me and make me smile.

A thought crossed my mind-
why not create a new friend?
So I decided to create one.

I took out my paints, brushes,
and a pristine canvas.
I painted a portrait of a girl.

Flowing hair, gentle eyes and
a beautiful calming smile.
I named her Ayliz (The Moon).

Now, every time I feel
lonely and sad,
I speak to her,
and she silently listens.
Her smile has healing power -
it makes me feel better.

The world has changed so much.
But has it changed for better?
Swords are replaced by bullets .
But the killing goes on .
The thirst for blood of a fellow human being
still remains the same .
Advanced Technology, Artificial Intelligence and Drones are meant to make our life better,
But haven't they also made killing much easier ?
It really makes me wonder ,
Has the world really changed for better?

What good does a war do ?
Taking lives of civilians and soldiers alike,
destroying livelihoods.

What good does a war do ?
You killed my people, I killed yours -
the cycle goes on and on .

What good does a war do?
Fighting for a piece of land-
what good is a piece of land
if all your loved ones are dead ?

What good does a war do?
Polluting air , damaging crop lands -
what good will it do if you have poison to breathe, no food to eat?

Don't we have enough
cause to fight-
climate change, global warming, ever -rising pollution?

It is not the time to fight each other but to stand together with each other.

After breaking everything,
all one can do
is rebuild-
brick by brick.

Never looked at any other face again,
nor did I travel the road of love again.
Locked up my heart, once and for all,
for you were, are and always will be,
my one true love.
The Sun shone brightly and then,
disappeared behind the horizon.
Stars twinkled all night and then,
they too disappeared.
Storm came and gone,
leaving behind a trail of destruction.
But my love for you stayed like a rock,
never faded nor disappeared.

Silence,
Quiet,
Abandonment.

Some people know
the art of hurting so well
that they hurt you
where it hurts the most.

I am not what you wanted me to be.
I am not what you thought I should be...

Not a scientist,
nor a teacher.

Not a doctor,
nor an engineer.

What am I?
A trailblazer...

I do not follow,
I lead.

Life is given to us,
it will be taken away.
When and how,
we won't know-
till it is our time.

A disease or disaster,

road rage or domestic violence,

war or Mother Nature's fury,  

                     or maybe
                    
                       just love.

Destruction caused by war,
Innocent lives lost,
Everything turned to dust .

Where do we pick up
How do we rebuild
How do we overcome the grief
of the loss of our loved ones

How do we begin again
How do we find the strength to move on
How do we live on
when everything is gone


         TOGETHER

we can - if we join hands.

Love will not survive
if not accompanied by trust.

Everyone said:
"Time heals all wounds"
Why then non of my wounds
ever healed?
The truth is-
time cannot stitch
the wounds
that are cut so deep.
It only covers them
with a layer of dust
till the next storm arrives
and carries away the dust
leaving the wounds exposed
to bleed again.

One day you will see,
I  will make you proud of me.
That day will come,
When all my dreams will come true.
And then I will say to the world,
I told you so.

What was once a beautiful bond
is now broken.
What's left is a shattered heart.
Anxiety fills my thoughts all day,
keeps me awake all night.
Once a beautiful dream
now turned to a nightmare.

I look for peace
nowhere to be found.
How do I mend
the broken bond?
Everything feels so lost -
waiting for a ray of hope.

This is our world-
Yours and mine.
We call it home.
It's not perfect ;
It has flaws .
True, we can't make it perfect .
But with a little bit of kindness ,
and a little bit of love
we can always make it better .

Only if we try-
Let us try.

I was lost in the darkness,
you brought me to light.
Showed me the world,
through your eyes.
Your laughter fills my heart,
with new hopes.
Your soothing voice,
calms my unsettling mind.
Your smile makes,
my world peaceful.
You are like my very own star,
that shines brightly in a moonless night ,
to light up my dark path.

Give life a chance,
Live a little longer.
Life is a gift,
Share it with the ones you love.
Hold a trusted hand,
The road of life will be smoother again.
Leave all your sadness behind,
Step into a beautiful new world.
Set your aching heart free,
Love will come in like a cool breeze.

वो चांद ही क्या ,
जिसमें दाग ना हो |
वो दिल ही क्या ,
जिसमें आग ना हो |
वो नींद ही क्या ,
जिसमें किसी का सपना ना हो |
वो धड़कन ही क्या ,
जिसमें  गूंजता  किसी का नाम ना हो |
वो नज़र ही क्या ,
जिसमें  किसी की तलाश ना हो |
वो मुस्कुराहट ही क्या ,
जिसमें  छुपा दिल का कोई दर्द ना हो |

How will you fare
when I am gone?
Don't stop living
on my account .

Find a new light
in your heart .
Move on
make a fresh start.

In your journey down the line,
love will find you one more time.

My heart often sings for you,
The eternal song of love.
If it ever touches your heart,
Come to me.
I will be waiting,
For all eternity.

There's a pain in my heart
It doesn't go away
Does it hurt because it's broken?
Or is it because you are the reason
Is this what you called love?
Making promises and then leave,
Tearing my heart apart.
My heart is pure, so was my love for you
You were too blind to see
Lucky are those who are being loved
Someday perhaps, it will be my time
To be loved.

What will tomorrow bring?
    
           Joy
           or
        Sorrow?

        Hope
          or
       Despair?

Will the sun smile tomorrow
            or
will the clouds cry?

Will someone find love tomorrow
          or
Will a heart break?

Let's hope for the best
      but
prepare for the worst -

     because
No matter what,
Tomorrow will come.

I went to the gift store ,
to buy you a gift.
Could not decide on
what to buy
Should it be the costliest one
or the prettiest one .
You are precious, so should you gift.
So, I left the store empty handed
to be with you ,
and give you,
the most precious thing that  I have ‐TIME.

Once, I despised you ,
Yet, you turned out to be my truest friend .
Come, touch my lips ,
Slip down my throat,
Reach for my soul
Take it out ,
Carry it to the unknown,
Far away from this miserable world.
Bury it there for all eternity,
So it may never rise again.

I started my journey alone,
into the unknown.
Alone I may be,
but not lonely,
for my dreams are with me,
to keep me company.
I don't know where my destination is
it is the journey, that is my goal.

When everything dies,
hope remains...
When hope dies,
what remains?

"O,to be loved. "
A feeling like no other.
"Makes your heart fly like a butterfly"
In a garden full of flowers.

If it's love,
It will hurt.

If it hurts,
You know it's love.

One day it will come .
The day of my dreams.
A world, peaceful and beautiful .
No hatred, only love abound .
Everyone offering a helping hand ,
So that no one falls behind .
No talks of riches or power.
No discrimination against any
Race, religion or gender.
All equal, all accepted and loved.
Such a day will come soon.
I may or may not be around to see.
But I can see it in my vision,
How the day of my dreams would be.

How do I fix,
what I broke?
How do I make it right
all that went wrong?
How do I make it up to you
for all that I messed up?

If only I could
turn back time,
change everything back
exactly as it was,  
give you back
your peace and quiet-
the peace
you so rightly deserve.

Strange but true,
I fell in love with you.
Never saw your face,
Yet I gave you my heart.
For I saw your heart,
Full of love.
You went out of my life,
But can you leave my heart?
You were never mine for me to keep,
Yet you became a part of my soul.
No matter where you are,
No matter whom you love.
You will forever live in my heart,
For you are the love of my life,
The most beautiful poem of my heart.

Why feel sorry
Why regret
We did what we do best
I loved; you left.
