Language of tears

Tears flow without a stop

Pin pricks of pain breaks the bubble

Sometimes I wish for a smile

Even a fake one for that matter

Heart throbs with countless hurts

Despair, hopelessness fills the soul

I wish for your understanding

A word that means you care

Let me forget these tears, this pain

Let me forget this hurt, this despair

Hold me tight and hold me near

Let me take this last breath of love

Sometimes

Sometimes I wish I can change my life

And mold it the way I fancy

Sometimes I love this life as it comes

Simply want to go on living

Sometimes I am simply stubborn

To accept my defeat

Sometimes I feel that I am losing it

And with that, the desire to live

Sometimes I feel alone in this world

And my heart cries out in pain

Sometimes, when all my tears dry out

I seek the meaning of living

And after so many sometimes, I try

To hide my pain in a dark corner of my heart

And then, my tears betray the pain

The more I try to control, they over flow!

Then comes those sometimes, I smile

To this world and love it with all my might

With nothing to mask my happiness

Of loving and being loved

Unnamed

My smile no longer belongs to you

My tears will no longer fall for you

If I smile, I smile for myself

If I cry, I cry for myself

Once this heart used to beat for you

Now it is mine and can’t beat for you

You can believe all you want to believe

Ignore my tears and pain it bears

Without looking inside my heart

How much it hurts and for whom it hurts

This world can hurt me and hate me;

Malign me and make me miserable;

Drive me to madness and poison all around

I will survive, if I have the wish to survive

Or I may be, decide it is enough

And enjoy the ride to another place

Another night

Another day paving the way

For night to reign

Fading away slowly

Never to return again

Stars shining in the sky

Moon playing hide n’ seek

With little fluffy clouds

Night started its realm

I waited for my lone star

Shining down on me

From that distant world

Winking its way to glory

I closed my eyes

To hold back my tears

Which waits for a reason

To start its flow so freely

Another night alone

In this lonesome world

Though you shine down

From worlds apart

The Real Image

A very old poem of mine... Searched it out from a really musty place in memories! This poem was written 14 years back based on a conversation with a dear friend, Leena! Thanks for being my friend!


I knew not that image of yours
Nor ever can see that face,
Which your mirror prefers to reflect,
Which does not resemble you
Nor know your pains nor longings
Which never shows you as "you"!

If you want to see the real you
Open your eyes and look into mine!
There, you see a face with all its passion
Which cries out at the slightest heed!
There you see an unmasked face
Reflecting all its aches, agonies,
Joys, trials and tribulations
Hiding behind that sunshine smile!
You will see the teardrops,
Your pillow absorbs and night blots!
You will see the beauty of a tearful face,
Which is striving to keep that smile

But my advice to you goes....
Remove your beautiful mask
And show the world, your real grace
Which no one can steal away from you!!!

Judgement

A shower of tears, a trembling hand
A tongue tied in knots, and a pounding heart
Waits for the judgement, you may utter today
Sealing my fate, forever to this pain

Who is a saint? Who is a sinner?
And who is the judge and who has the right?
Why pass a judgment, when right and wrong
Are never so clear or bright as daylight

Still, I pass judgment upon myself
More severe than what world does
Still I can’t bear those words which you may utter
And break my heart into million pieces

After hours

Morning rain ended a long, disturbed night
Dull rays of sun brought a sorrowful light
The soaked pillow is accounting for my grief
Memories of you brought me a smile so brief
Moving away from you, I pierced my heart
And realized that I have hardly a life apart
With deep love, I'd always remember
Of your beautiful heart that's so tender
Dreaming of your touch so softer
My heart would break in a blister
Of the warmth of your lips so gentle
Memories of mine would be eternal
The magic I thought is lost is still within
With the warmth of love ever rolling
Again and again in each moment
I wish I had asked you on the first moment...

Truth in your eyes

Your eyes told me the truth
So, don’t try to hide the veracity
They never lied to me
Nor I think they can ever do
I saw the surging grief in them
Like I saw the love once upon a time
They told me about the future
Or should I say futureless-ness
They told me that I’m a stranger
More alien than someone from Mars
They told me that you are moving on
And have banished me to oblivion
I know the meaninglessness of tears
Which are threatening to fall
I know I have to let you go
I know I have to forget
And hope that you will come back
To be with me forever one day …

Silence, tears n' rain

Sometimes silence is so loud and strange
And can be heard across a thousand miles
May be rain can hide those tears for a while
Which keep flowing without any constraints

But won’t this rain stop one day
And expose those silent tears?
Wont these raindrops stop its cold grip
And my hot tears stop its masquerade?

Sometimes, I wish for at least a voice
Which can kill this cold and bitter silence
And their monotonous tone of accusations
And their never-ending complaints

And I hope that the rain stops for now
And you have a little time to spare
And listen carefully to my tears
When my tears start to speak slowly
In their special and secret language
And you can understand it perfectly…

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!!

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…

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…
