SOME LOVE LASTS JUST TOO LONG...

You made your point clear…

I packed my things and left…

You said this was the end…

Nothing was left to be said…

I walked out the door…

Walked out of your life…

I thought to stop and turn…

It was only a thought…

Days piled up together…

Past remained buried…

Nothing to remember…

Work eased the pain…

One game to another…

One event to the next…

One presentation over…

The other on its way…

It was over and out…

I had not a doubt…

It took a song to remind…

I was so in love…

Memories were just lying…

Needed a scratch or two…

The singer crooning away…

‘I knew I loved you…’

Your face and your eyes…

Your lips and your touch…

The tears and goodbyes…

It came back to me again….

No matter how long ago…

Some heart never mends…

No matter when you let go…

Some love never ends…

KNOWING YOU, KNOWING ME

You love someone or you don’t love someone, heartbreak is on its way

Even when you are denied what you want, life has a way of making you stay

You complain about or shout aloud, reasons are wasted afterthoughts

What has been said or done to death and gone, the things you ought

To have missed or hit, turn back and look at your pity self once again

Before you can decide your own fate, life will leave you behind its pain

You took a break and shook your head, in a state of worldly wise wisdom

Where you landed, where you feel stuck, is once again the forsaken kingdom

You made promises or heard them uttered by some distant voices so near

The enemy far away who resides in you knows exactly whom or what you fear

You dug your own grave, garlanded your own photograph, shed a tear too

It was your funeral, your final goodbye, but you were already out of you

So cheers to you for living a life like an audience sitting through a film

The reels rolled by and reached the end; you were stuck in your own realm

Spectator of your own life, tell me if you saw what you really were inside

Were the lies white or the truth black? From you could you ever hide?

Did life did justice or did it cheat on you and left you feeling lonely and sad?

Or you knew all the ‘right’ ways but just chose to live ‘wrong’ and bad

Is there a way for me to conclude in just few simple sentences or chapters?

Or do you think your life will need a 1000 paged-book, fact-of-the-matter?

You lead your life in such a way; unwritten, unscripted thoughts and emotions

Just passed through its moments of rhythm with deep yet careless devotion

When I put my pen to paper no single word or image takes form at all

I’m just in the moment and the moment seem to last forever long

You conquer me within and I know, it’s you I long for and to whom I belong

A Prayer...

The morning dew smiles on the fresh green leaves...

A hope of a beautiful day is born...

Unaware and ignorant of their fate...

the drops dance around merrily...

As the sun appears on the horizon...

seeking the hidden with its rays...

The dew drops glitter and sparkle...

rejoicing in their magnificence...

The warmth of the sun melts them...

Soon they all disappear and die...

Sitting on my bed and looking out the window...

I watched the dance and the death...

of the once glittering morning dew...

I heard a silent prayer whispered deep in my heart...

Whether I live long or die young...

Let my life fulfil its destiny...

Let it shine and sparkle...

and dance in its magnificence...

Let it breathe and take it all in...

Let it become all that it can...

and when it touch the brilliance...

let it live no second longer...

Let it disappear and die...

like the dew drops in the morning...

Unseen by most... witnessed by few...

Like the way I saw them today...

someone will think of me and miss me...

and appreciate my life for what it was...

IF I WAS BLIND...

I see more of you every day...

Every other day, I find something new in you...
I see who you are...
I can sense what you are all about...

Every other day I feel connected to you...
I get drawn to you...
I can sense I'm getting closer to you...

Every other day I keep thinking about you...
I fear losing you...
I can sense I pray more for you...

Would I still discover who you are
and sense what you are all about?

Would I still feel connected to you
and get drawn to what you are?

Would I still think and wonder about you
and fear losing you?

Sometimes I wonder...
if I would really 'see' you for what you are...
if I was Blind...

LOVE ME, NONETHELESS...

I say I’m not lying… but I’m not being honest enough…

I know you have questions… but I can’t reveal the answers as well…

Would you trust me, and just love me, nonetheless?

There are corners of my heart, where only I wander about sometimes…

There are thoughts in my mind, only I can wonder about sometimes…

Can I have a little corner to myself?

Can you trust me that it’s nothing bad or dangerous?

Can you accept me just the same and still love me nonetheless?

It’s not easy when there are doubts…

It’s much more difficult when they start taking shapes of certainty…

But if you just let it be… you’ll know I’m just not really all that different…

I’m just the same as I was before…

I’m still the same…

Please say you still love me… and let me be…

Please say nothing has changed at all… and nothing will ever be…

LOST MY KEY!

Started the day as usual...
went through the highs and the lows...

Nothing seemed wrong or out of place...
Nothing extra-ordinary or remarkable!

Sometimes I laughed my heart out...
Nothing escaped at other times...

The night threw its blanket on me....
and I began my journey back home...

I thought it had been just another day...
till I realised what became of me...

Just a shadow... just a shape...
moving through time and space...

My life was happy and full of joy...
I could see it through the window...

But I was standing outside the door...
Locked myself out and lost the key...

CAN'T START ALL OVER AGAIN...

Get to know each other... go through the trial..
build a rapport... then perhaps go wild...
or keep on discovering.. all that needs to be known...
how do I keep up with every other beginnings?

Always the promise of something better...
or simply something good enough...
Always the chase through the maze..
or losing the pace in the race...

How do I say honestly how honest I'm being
when I say I know it all too well...
You'll hardly last a moment!

I can read the signs and interpret your mind...
do me a favour, will you please?

Take the same route back to where you began...
'coz this chase now ends here...

I'm tired of all the beginnings and being left
in the middle of nowhere all the time...

Someone please take my hand from where I stand...
and walk with me to wherever is the end...

I just can't start all over again...

STARS (BEFORE SUNRISE)

Star-gazing… looking at the white dots in the night sky…

Guessing the spots where we’d stand in the future…

Realising in between conversations the time flying by…

Closing in on the goodbyes… the memories we’ll nurture…

Sharing a part of us… sharing all that we really are…

Insecurities, idiosyncrasies and secrets of the heart…

Sweet smiles, tender touch… and the frequent stares…

Rationalities and fantasies are never too far apart…

We walked the roads… roamed the streets of Paris…

A graveyard, a fountain, a ferry and a midnight bar…

A stroll by the river… a park of red wine and bliss…

A night to remember… whether we live near or far…

The magic of the moments… the spaces in between…

Our love binds us together… in ways seen and unseen…
