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 ???

I Dont Know Why My Eyes Cry :'(

I don't know why

My eyes cry
I asked them why?
But they both lie
I tried a lot
To keep them dry
I plead to stop
But they both deny.

With dawn I born
With dusk I die
As the pain inside
Tends to magnify
I was so confused
I warned an eye
To go blind
Or clarify

A tear rolled
And stood high
With a sore gaze
Gave this reply:
"Look Inside
You have a heart there;
Its Bro-ken now
And I Justify.".

Song Of The Soul

In the depth of my soul there is A wordless song -
a song that lives In the seed of my heart...
It refuses to melt with ink on Parchment;
it engulfs my affection In a transparent cloak and flows,
But not upon my lips...

How can I sigh it?
I fear it may Mingle with earthly ether...
To whom shall I sing it?
It dwells In the house of my soul, in fear of Harsh ears...
When I look into my inner eyes,
I see the shadow of its shadow;
When I touch my fingertips,
I feel its vibrations...
The deeds of my hands heed its Presence,
as a lake must reflect The glittering stars;
my tears Reveal it,
as bright drops of dew Reveal,
the secret of a withering rose...

It is a song composed by contemplation,
And published by silence,
And shunned by clamor,
And folded by truth,
And repeated by dreams,
And understood by love,
And hidden by awakening,
And sung by the soul.

It is the song of love;
What voice could sing it?
It is more fragrant than jasmine;
What voice could enslave it?
It is heartbound, as a virgin's secret;
What string could quiver it?

Who dares unite the roar of the sea,
And the singing of the nightingale?
Who dares compare the shrieking tempest,
To the sigh of an infant?
Who dares speak aloud the words,
Intended for the heart to speak?
What human dares sing in voice,

The song of The SOUL ??

Falling Stars . .. ...

Know that I loved you from the start,
Know that I believed in who we are,
I never dreamed my life this way..

Don't wish upon a falling star,
Love will remind us who we are,
I dreamed a dream so much is changed..

Wake, you've been sleeping;
And tell me what to believe in;
You fell so far.. You should have been a star...

Before the light begins to fade,
I was hoping that you'd show me the way,
To never ever be afraid to change..

Wake, you've been sleeping;
And tell me what to believe in;
Wake, you've been sleeping;
You pushed too far now you're bleeding..
You fell so far.. You should have been a star...

The light that you've been keeping inside,
Will guide you on your way....

--Jet

This Is Very Close To Me...
Hah.. Stars..
They'll Be Just The Same.. Age After Age...
They'll Only Stay There n' Keep Laughing At You n' Your Miserable Wishes...
Sigh..

A Dream World . .. ...

Kahin toh.. kahin toh..
Hogi woh,
Duniya jahan tu mere saaath hai..
Chaha mein chaha tu,
Aur jahan bas tere mere zajbaat hain..

Hogi jahan saba teri,
Palkon ki kirano mein..
Lori jahan chand ki,
Sune teri bahon mein...

Jane na kahan woh duniya hai..
Jane na woh hai bhi ya nahi..
Jahan meri zindagi mujhse,
Itni khafa nahi..........
*************************************

Living in a shell... Sometimes it Really hurts like Hell..
Hai Na...!!
Yeah.. Sometimes you want to go away..
Just Leave Everythin' Visible Or Audible Maybe.. N' Go..
Just Go..
Go To a place where nobody'll be there but the one you Adore like A Bliss...

Is There A World Like That Anywhere ??

Stings and Pain.. They are so Hard n' Frequent..
Hah.. They almost make the target Immune...
And in that moment of Immunity..
In That Moment Of Immobility..
You Dream...
It doesn't matter what you Dream..
It doesn't matter what youe See..
It doesn't matter what you Perceive..
What only matters is that you still have the ability to Dream...

I know One day will come.. & I'll lose that Ability too...
Coz' I'll be a Dream Then...

Yeah.. You Guessed Right.. Am Goin' Crazy....
And Its Not A Dream...

Paradox

Your heart listens in silence,
The secrets of the days and the nights..
But your ears thirst for the sound,
Of your heart's pleas and plights..

Your fingers sense the unknown,
Knowing its a mirage or a delusion..
But your senses touch the brinks,
Feeling some truth or may be some fiction..

Your mind tells the days to come,
Life will remain always evergreen..
But your soul never wishes to believe,
Of that one wonder or that one gleam..

Ah !!!

All Night...

For the first time in my life,
I saw the new sun;
The Reason, I never slept,
Yes, I was praying all night…

For the second time in my life,
I felt pain in my chest;
The Reason, my heart wept,
Yes, I was crying all night…

I called you an angel,
I saw wings at your side;
The Reason, I was in sky,
Yes, I was flying all night…

You forgot to say good night,
I forgot my sleep;
The Reason, I was missing you,
Yes I was dying all night…

I said, we’ve so much in common,
We would end up being one;
The Reason, I really hoped that to be true,
Yes, I was counting all night…

You said, you’ve no words to praise me,
I lied motionless for an hour;
The Reason, I never felt so good,
Yes, I was grinning all night…

I said, I never lie,
Then I thought of you and me;
The Reason, I was assuring myself,
Yes I was lying all night…

You said, I should’ve told you before,
What difference could that have made;
The Reason, I was not a competitor,
Yes, I was trying all night…

My love is hopeless; it carved its home in me,
And GOD !! I was sweating;
The Reason, the home was in ashes,
Yes, I was burning all night…

My loves die, even before they are born,
And my feet were muddy;
The Reason, I was in a graveyard,
Yes, I was mourning all night…
