अजनबी शहर के अनजान रास्ते, मेरे हाल पर मुस्कुराते रहे.....
मैं बहुत देर तक तनहा चलता रहा, तुम बहुत देर तक याद आते रहे....

The Tears of the Sky

The Tears of the Sky

the tears of the sky
tearing my wounds apart
the salty tears
gushing against my window
angst of the storm
they have brought with them..
the mighty tears of the sky
aren't letting me sleep..
pitter-patter
pitter-patter
drop drop drop by drop
they fill up
an empty bowl in my courtyard
tears of the sky....
one by one...
drip down
my eyes are empty too
they do not fill them,but !
brutal..
are the
...tears of the sky...

Longing of a Woman

Longing of a Woman

The alarm clock strikes 7 am.. and she slips out of her dreams..rubbing her eyes to see the Sun of a new day..eye in eye with the Sun.. she wakes up to a day full of longing..
the longing to meet those who parted away by looking at the photo frames..
the longing to find the lost love after listening to an old melody on FM...
the longing to rest the head in mother's lap when a tear rolls down the cheek....
the longing to listen to dad's husky voice when an almost alike voice echoes in the street downstairs..
the longing to hear inspirational words from the mouth of an old school teacher again...
the longing to play cricket with the kids on the road when their ball comes rolling by your feet.....
the longing to travel across the world when you set your eyes on the World Map in your child's geography book..
the longing to bathe on the village well again with the village girls, who are no more girls but women now....
the longing to see the wishes coming true after tying a red thread around an old tree....

and the longings are unending...... just like desires...
Hope Floats...truly said !

I Was Always There For You . .. ...

Faking a laugh, faking a smile,
Hiding the truth behind a mask, while

my heart is breaking into pieces
with every smile that i give
That's the life that i live

Used to believe in fairy tales, thinking it's a beautiful world
Then i was appalled with the truth that this world holds

I tried to fool myself and hide behind my dreams
Tried to make everything as simple as it seems

But deep inside, there were thousands of bursting tears,
with every smile that i used to give
that's the life that i live

Ended up with a broken heart,
ended up with my life ripped apart.

Ended up left alone in the darkness, crying,
Gave up and just quit trying...

My Silence Speaks A Lot ...

The Silence In my Words,The Un-Asked Question Forces me to Move towards an Undesired Direction.
In Its Own Classic Gait,Life Moves,
Once blinded,thought There was no One To Lose.

Deprived of the feelings of happiness,I feel left alone in this Mess loneliness,Finding out love In You..
I Try,Unable to Smile,Unable to Cry.

We Loved To Create Memories..

Your memories still haunt me
For i'm still not over you
It's no easy to forget
For it used to be so true

These memories are my hope now
Yes they are my reason
They push me forward in my life
In any kind of season

And when i feel all betrayed
I go back to the times
When everything was so well
As the early sunrise

When joy moved to my heart
Like willing to stay
But before i realized
You were walking away

Your memories still haunt me
For i cant get over you
And i want no one else
It'll never get that true ..

Words Cant Describe How I feel

Words Cant Describe How I feel

Will I ever be the same again
Will I ever get past all these lies
Will I ever open my eyes
And see that you are nothing
Nothing but lies

Will I ever be able to cry again
Will I ever be able to love again
Will I ever be able to sing again
Will I ever be free again

Free of your lies
Free of your seduction
Free of your lips
Pressed against my unwilling lips...

Do you want to seduce me
Into doing what you may?
Nay, I say, I will not fall
I will not let you take over
While I lose it all

And when I am lieing on the floor
Screaming for air
Losing my mind
And crying out for help
You just stand there smiling

Do you enjoy my pain?

FORGIVE ME

Let's Make a Deal.

You forgive me for liking you too much,

and I'll forgive you for not liking me enough

You forgive me for missing you so,
and I'll forgive you for being so cold..

You forgive me for the loud racing of my heart,

and I'll forgive you for not hearing it.

You forgive me for playing your game,
and I'll forgive you for toying with my emotions.

You forgive me for finding you so attractive,

and I'll forgive you for not noticing.

You forgive me for raising you up so high,
and I'll forgive you for bringing me down so low.

You forgive me for wanting to be with you,

and I'll forgive you for avoiding me.

You forgive me for being so pathetic,
and I'll forgive you for taking advantage of it.

You forgive me for not being able to let go,

and I'll forgive you for never having latched on.

You forgive me for having hopes and dreams,
and I'll forgive you for crushing them.

FORGIVENESS brings inner peace.

Do we have a deal ???
