I stand defeated in my virtue,
For the ones I cared for no longer care,
In my misery lies some satisfaction,
That they found, and with it, how to better fare.

I stand defeated in my beliefs,
For the ones I loved no longer love,
In my mourning lies some relief,
That they devour, like a mourning dove.

I stand defeated in my conduct,
For the ones that trusted no longer trust,
And in my loss lies some salvation,
That they incurred, and with it, friends rust.

I stand defeated as a man,
For my lover now, left betrayed,
And in my grief lies buried my love,
For her thoughts for me, forever mislaid.

I stand defeated with my feet buried,
For the ones, my dears, have gone afar,
And in my defeat lies the truth,
That they digressed, letting doubt ajar.

Your eyes shine brighter than the sun,
                    they make it look so bleak,
your eyes, more beautiful than the night sky,
                   make the universe's beauty seem so weak.

Your hair, oh, they fall much so perfectly o'er your face,
                   and those streaks, the way they sneak out from behind your hair,
are like Picasso's finest stroke,
                   like that one perfect sun ray coming out of dark clouds, cutting through air.

Your smile, the most beautiful wonder in the universe,
                  so perfect, it would make the golden ration obsolete,
And those shiny white beautiful teeth that brighten this dark world,
                 Make the world so colourful, and more importantly, my life, complete.

Your voice, like the song of a Nightingale,
                 So melodious and harmonious that even the best singers would shy away,
So mesmerising, that once listened to,
                 One might find it impossible to stay away.

Your touch, like a feather brushes against one’s skin,
                 So soft, yet so warming that it would melt the harshest of hearts,
Your touch, gentle as silence,
                 Speaks volumes for itself, and you, how wonderful a person thou art.

Your laughter could heal all wounds,
                Its so beautiful that even the Gods would come down to witness it,
The way you cover your face while you’re at it,
               Makes you look, the prettiest lady, finer by every bit.

You are as perfect as perfect can be,
                 You are the eighth wonder,
That people would **** to be know to,
                 As beautiful as Aphrodite, that you’d make a man wonder.

You are more precious than the life itself,
                 You are the reason people still have hope,
You are the definition of perfection,
                 Your talks are so flipping dope!
Her, someone who makes me feel special and this world more colourful.
Her, a person i can count on forever for she is so wonderful.

and one of these days when you feel alone,
remember that there's someone waiting for you,
waiting for your text, your call, your arrival,
waiting to see that speck of light that you shine on their world.

you're never alone in this world,
you're just a sheep not following the herd,
and there's that one special person for you as well,
waiting for you to take a gaze at them.

and whenever you feel alone,
just close your eyes and let your mind wander,
for you might find that special someone in your thoughts,
for whom you've been waiting.

and this lonliness won't take the light away from your eyes,
'cause it is just now, in this moment, that you're alone,
but you know that you have them by your side,
standing as tall as a mountain, watching over you.

and this loneliness will make you love them more,
for you've never waited for them to text you so impatiently,
and when you finally receive their message,
you'll be happier than you ever have been.

for  loneliness is a mystery,
it seems to haunt you at first,
and then you dive deep into your mind's vast ocean of thoughts,
and you find them there, waiting for you, all alone

and that vast emptiness fills with color and beautiful music,
and your world isn't the same anymore,
for you've discovered love,
love that you've never felt before.

and this love shall always be with you,
to guide you through all the tough days,
and to be your guiding light in those lonely and all consuming dark nights,
and stay with you forever, until the very end of time.

this is the beauty of loneliness that many don't realise,
for it comes disguised as a foe that many fear,
but you've gotta let it show you how beautiful loneliness really is,
for it will only fill you with unconditional love,
and show you what life truely is.

When you fall for someone just know that you’re not at fault,
For you are but an innocent lover,
When you fall for someone just know that you should never hault,
For it is the most beautiful feeling ever.

When you fall for someone, you should not care at all,
About how you might end up in your life,
Will it be with them or without them, for all
You know that they might come around and make it all worth the strife.

When you fall in love with someone, just know that you are lucky
Because love isn’t easy to come by these days,
When you fall in love with someone just accept it as the key
To all the doors that are locked in front of you, and unlock them all in beautiful ways.

When you fall in love with someone, be prepared, for it might burn,
To know that they may not feel the same,
But when you fall in love with someone, you are already prepared to churn,
Every last piece of you heart and soul in this never ending game.

But remember that when you fall in love with someone,
It is the most beautiful experience in the world,
It makes your heart beat with theirs as one
It makes you the happiest in this world.

It may be difficult at times,
to accept that they might not feel the same,
But trust me it’ll be more melodious than wind chimes,
And you will know that you are in true love when all you want from the world is to hear it calling their name.

You will be okay even if they don’t show up,
Every now and then when you’re in need,
You’ll be fine even if they have given up
On you and your love on which you feed.

It is okay to be sad sometimes, to cry your heart out
For it will only make you feel better,
It is okay to be angry and lash out,
But remember, with their thought In your mind, there nothing better.

So whenever you fall in love with someone, don’t expect anything from them
For expectations are your worst enemy and they make all attempts go in vain
Just let things unfold and imbibe the beauty wrapped in them,
And let them be, for thinking will only give you pain.
Never expect anything from the people you love, it'll leave you hating the whole idea of love.

Mind when born has a vast space of emptiness,
A space completely dark waiting to be filled with thoughts
Thoughts, like stars in the universe,
Ideas like the galaxies formed from the clouds called experience.

Mind, when filled with ideas and thoughts,
Is a chaotic mess,
A place with no order,
A place with ever expanding thoughts along with ever increasing experience.

Mind when matured has many a things going on in it,
With ideas and thoughts being born every instance,
With ideas and thoughts ceasing to exist every instance,
They do not just die out like their physical counterparts, "Us".

Mind in all its phases becomes a better place,
With thoughts being born and dying out like supernovae out there in the universe,
With new clusters and galaxies being formed,
And having us to put everything in order.

Mind, with ever increasing experience becomes a metrodome of brilliance,
A place with gobsmacking thoughts,
A place with breathtaking ideas.

Mind becomes a palace greater than anything that has ever existed,
But with a great rise comes a great fall,
And like every other kingdom,
The universe thus created inside the mind comes to an end.

Mind in its final phase collapses like the big crunch,
Crushing everything that once existed in it,
Mind, like the universe, with everything so beautiful,
Ceases to exist, but leaves behind an unforgetable tale unique in every way.

It all starts with a friendship that seems too good to be true,
And you feel like you’ve seen everything through,
You fall for every small thing about them,
And you don’t doubt your soul, for this is what you’ve longed for in this mayhem.
You want them to be your everything, with you being selfless,
You want the bond that you have to be the air when you’re breathless.
That’s the beauty of love, something that is unprecedented,
That’s the harmony of love in the melody called “life”.

You grow into each other and you feel complete,
You want to be together always, so that you’re never obsolete,
You think that this will fall apart, NEVER
But you forget that nothing lasts forever,
You start off great and have a lot of fun,
You fall in love with each other and put your heads in front of a gun,
But that’s the beauty of love, something that is unprecedented,
That's the harmony of love in the melody called “life”.

You let them influence you in many ways,
You try to blend in with their thoughts all the nights and days,
You let them take over your life like no one else ever has,
They lift your spirits and make you happy, but that's short lived, alas
You start to diverge when everything seems to be falling into place,
You fight, you scream even though you love them, but can no longer find solace.
But that’s the beauty of love, something that is unprecedented,
That's the harmony of love in the melody called “life”.

You push them away because of your anger,
And in your memories of them, you let your mind linger.
You start to feel that you’re at fault,
So you start your days with a single malt,
You start doubting yourself once again,
Even though you know you’re the king of this game,
You know you don’t need someone else to complete you,
You can love yourself and that way, feel complete too.
See that’s the beauty of love, something that is unprecedented,
That’s the harmony of love in the melody called “life”.

You need to know that there are people who really care,
Self doubting and blaming yourself isn’t really fair,
You need to know that this is just another rough patch,
You don’t have to worry about a thing 'cause there are people ready to help you start from scratch,
Just know that what doesn’t **** you makes you stronger,
It prepares you for the worst and helps you resist downfalls for longer.
‘cause that’s the beauty of love, something that is unprecedented,
That’s the harmony of love in the melody called “life”.

I know it’s hard, to deal with this on your own,
But you have me, I promise, in this, you’re not alone,
They’ll come around if you’re meant to be together,
And you’ll have a happy ever after, forever.
Just don’t get bogged down by these little things,
Have faith in yourself and make the world see your mighty wings.
I’m telling you that that’s the beauty of love, something that is unprecedented,
That’s the harmony of love in the melody called “life”.
For the ones that feel a little lost because of a heartbreak. And the ones that need to know that's there's always someone looking out for them, even though they might feel alone in this chaotic world.
YOU
Pranav Khanna Jan 2020
YOU
Everyone in this world needs a little saving
From the treacherous ones,
From all the things that might seem so overwhelming,
Too overwhelming to even be possible.

Everyone in this world deserves the best
No matter how rough they may be,
No matter how shrewd they may be

But to the ones like you,
The ones that are so pure at heart,
The ones that put others first, no matter what they're going through themselves,
You, deserve something even better.

You may feel desperate at times,
Desperate for your share, for your share of love
And of life, and of happiness, and of satisfaction
But with time you shall have it all,

Every single thing that you've ever wished for,
You shall have it all,
But not before the time is right
Not before this world has prepared you for it.

You may have a lot of friends,
And you may not be able to share your mind with them,
But you oughta know that you're being heard,
You're being heard every single time you wish to be heard.

There may be times when you feel low,
Times when you feel that life is not just,
Times when you want to quit and stay low,
But remember that times like these are the best for that must needed ******.

Life is hard, I get it
But you're a winner, trust me
You've got everything sorted in your head, even though you may not know about it,
You've got it all sorted out in your heart.

Just be grateful for what you have,
Hold on to the ones who look out for you,
Take your time to absorb everything that's going on with you,
And, with your head held high, kick all the walls down that try to hold you hostage.

For you are the one you've been looking for in all the wrong places,
For you are the hero in your story,
For you are one of a kind, unparalleled,
For you are, already in your mind, whatever you dream to be.
Life may seem unjust and you may not always get what you so desire, but have faith in time, for it shall give you ever single thing that you want, but only when the time is right. Do not look at other and frown, for it may be their right time to have it all, and you, just wait for your time to come.

— The End —
