It's a dream

Don’t believe my words, when I say that
You are the most appealing of all I ever know
Toss away the words, when I say that
You are the one I love more than life
Think that I am bluffing, when I say
That I would forsake this world for you
Decline my love, when I kneel down
And ask for your hand and proclaim my love

Know that I am living a pretty dream
Which makes no sense when I am up
Think that it is just another illusion
Which may not last for ever for sure
Or loose luster with the passing time
Or a mirage in a faraway desert
Don’t fall for this dream, knowing that
It’s a fantasy waiting to loose its sheen.

Tonight

Sometimes words loose meaning
Like on this grim and depressing night
Today even my own image
Expunge me with renewed dread
From my aweary eyes, falls
Yet another uninvited tear
And my friends advice me
“You have to forget everything,
And start a new life”
You tell me - How could I,
Forget everything
Like you forget your dreams
And live as if nothing matters
Or nothing really happened!

Tonight, words of courage
Have been buried alive
And my life looks like a war
A struggle, which I keep loosing
Full of dead soldiers, my dreams
Losing life for a looney goal!
All I can think is my own pain
Hurt and sorrow in myself
Tonight, let me choose myself
My own pace to take me there…

But where are you, my friend?
To scare this destructive pain away
To fight those fiery ghosts
In the battle field along my side
When my tears are falling
Like rain, in torrents!

Friday Nights

Friday nights
The nights I miss you most
Loneliness and thoughts of you
Stars shine so bright and true
Scent of night flowers engulfing me
Still my beloved not near me.
Missing you like never before
Our hopes…. and our dreams together
But you had to go away
To the land of peace
Where no worries will ever hurt you
Where there are no wants and dreams
Leaving me all alone
With my loneliness
Missing you like never before...

Girl in Cemetery

Alone in that desolate cemetery
Not a single soul around
Near the grave with a marble angel
Laden with a bunch of roses
Whose tombstone proclaimed
“He was a loving son and brother,
Now, up in Heaven to spread joy”
In the golden letters on white marble

She sat, head bend in silence
A single tear in her eyes
Glistening in the summer sun
Loosing count of passing time
Seconds turning to minutes and hours
Incognizant of the world around

What did she tell him wordlessly?
May be, how much she loved him
May be, how much she miss him
Or may be she questioned
Why he left her all alone?
Why can’t he come back?

Will this world ever want to know
What he was in this world
Other than being a son or brother
What did he meant to her
May be she asked God too
A few of her unanswered questions

Will the world see his wish
To share his world with her
To walk down that church aisle
With her beside him
Hand in hand n’ pride in eyes
To be her knight in shining armour
May be in another world
May be in another life!!

Save this moment

Count this moment, treasure this hour
And the days, we are together
Life brings erratic changes
Aftermath is so uncertain and hazy
Save this second, save this minute
This moment and everything it brings
Hold this close to your heart
Which keeps beating to mysterious rhythms
Or press them like a rose inside
Your book of scented memories
Where you scribble those little notes
And keep them forever and a day more.

http://poemhunter.com/poem/save-this-moment/

Life

Things change
All on a sudden without waiting for you or me
And what remains
Is just a hand full of memories
Which you keep it near your heart
Or you prefer to forget
But still
You remember what you don't want
And forget
What you want to treasure
Strange is life and its ways
And strange is the way
It plays with our hopes
And dear dreams...

Thoughts on a rainy day

I sit here alone on this windowsill,
Watching the raindrops fall
And doing its tap dance
Like endless tears of sky above.
Heaven has let go of everything.
I know you’re all asking
“Why can’t you do the same –
Just let go and start new? ”

You will be happy
To see me smiling like before
Forgetting everything
That is killing me
Or should I just run away
But will you ever know
Or rather would want to know
My pain and my silent tears?
I am not some gallant hero;
I cannot fly, nor reach so high
I am on the plain ground,
and everyone’s in the sky.

May be you should go away,
Leaving me on the floor
Perhaps I’ll stop crying
If you just shut that last door.
You won’t know I’m lonely
And reaching for you,
When you walk away
Without another glance…

Regrets

A word not said
A promise not kept
A vow not taken
A world not built
A dream not fulfilled
A hope died down
Can it bring so much pain?
Can it bring new tears?
Can it hurt so much?
And bring many regrets?

From the day I met you

From the day I met you
I often think about you
But, I think about you more
When you are not near me
Wonder, why I think about you
And why you make me feel so
Emptying all my other thoughts
But I guess
I would rather have you near
Than my thoughts….

Your Love....

From an unknown distance
I can feel your love
Like a smooth feather
Like summer rain
Like an unsung melody
Alluding my soul
You touched my heart again
Like none ever before

http://poemhunter.com/poem/your-love/

You

Its about you....
...................................................................
A slow smile
Reflecting love
Sensitive eyes
Communicating a lot
Thoughts of you
Always surrounding me
Filling my days
With new hope

http://poemhunter.com/poem/you-9/

Your Love

Its a special poem... May be love has hundred ways of expressing itself...

..................................................................................
Let a thousand miles come between us
I can still feel your love
Warmth of your breath
Safeness of your arms

Scaling the highest reaches
From deepest depths
Engulfing and melting me in it
Like never before

Rivers will bring me
The tranquil in your eyes
Stars will shower on me
The sparkle of your smile

Rain will drench me
With the tears we cried
Wind will carry
Your scent back to me

And I.
Will be waiting for you always
To receive and return
A thousand fold of what you gave

Forgive me...

This poem has two parts - One as a request and other as a reply.... I have tried to do justice to both parties.... Hope it serves the purpose....


Request

Not that I know the meaninglessness
Of asking for forgiveness
For the words uttered thoughtlessly
A practical joke gone off track,
Or even a slip of tongue is all it was
Suddenly I am all alone
Tears and fears that I will loose
Something I treasured with all my might
Again, Can anyone stop this mad rush
Of this play called life
Ever changing and sweeping you along
Like a roller coaster ride which lost control
Wildly spinning to some strange orders
Can we stop before the walls closes in
And room begins to spin throwing me off balance
If I fall on my knees and beg to stop
If I plead knowing that I was wrong
If I say that it will never happen
And will do anything in my power
To keep things peaceful as ever
Because I can’t let this happen
Because I love you more than my pride
And my need to win as always
And know that I can never fight with you
For the sake of some cause called ego
And loose that magic I found in you.

Reply

My heart is broken beyond all fix
You can attempt to make it alright
But give me time to pick the pieces
May be time will heal the wounds!

Don't ask me to pretend that
Things are fine, ‘cos it is not
It was you, who believed those lies
So if you cry your eyes out
I simply cant be the one to hold
And dry your tears, at least now.

Don't ask me to forget everything
I just can't, not just yet
I know that you are hurt as well
But, don't ask me to forgive you
Cos, you hurt me deep inside.
I poured out my soul, dry to you
My eyes - they bleed, and they cry for you
But now, only for a forgotten cause.

Don't ask me to trust you now
I wont' be able to, evenif I try
What made me live in this pain
Was that single flame of love
I hid in my heart for you
A hope that you will know one day!

Don't ask me to hurry
This is going to take years
The pain you inflicted
May take a lifetime to heal
So don't even take a stand to be bold and face the wrath
Nor make more excuses
You know you were wrong.

Don't tell me you've changed
I have to see it with my own eyes
But, don't ask me to hate you
My spirit won't allow me
I can offer you forgiveness
Because I have to.

Don't ask me to embrace it
I'm trying to live with it
Don’t cry anymore on this
Just remember that I love you
And if our love is strong enough
We will get over this some day

http://poemhunter.com/poem/forgive-me-reply/

Do not promise...

I don’t want any promise from you
Nor promise me anything forever
Don’t say that you will never make me cry
Just hold me when I cry
And promise that you will try

May be its too late now
Since we are far apart
And have chosen our own ways
But forgive my heart
Cos it still thinks of you
And dreams of our time together

A single rose

Like a single teardrop in your eye
Which refuses to flow down
That single rose refused to wilt away
Like the sign of un-proclaimed love
May be a belief so strong that
Its single teardrop will speak
Of unspoken miseries of love
Which someone may understand at last…
