For long...

For long, she wasn't sure
As her tears clouded her thoughts
While her heart ached for him
She felt she was the one at fault

For long, she waited for him
To remove the mask and reveal himself
But he was playing a game to win
With tricks to disappear, up his sleeve

For long, she buried her myriad emotions
Yet vulnerabilities made her weak
But how would he even know
As he was detached and never in love

For long, she wanted him back
To take her hand and make her believe
Yet, he was happy in his own world
Failing to realize that he played with someone's heart

For long, she hoped he was real
Not just a fantasy or a midnight dream
Longing for him to take a step forward
But now she knows he just didn't care

Love that cannot be killed !

It cannot be stopped
It cannot be hidden
It let's the memories haunt you forever
It fails you every time you reach out
It forgives even when taken for granted
It cannot be held back
It keeps you hoping for miracles
It will not allow you to express
It tortures when you suppress
It makes you blind to all the faults
It makes you weep in the night
It lives in all your hopes
It makes you smile even when crying
It makes you feel stupid
It lets you be humiliated
It puts you down as vulnerable
It has you bound by the chains
It lets you fly high in the skies
It makes you long for just a glance
It takes you places just for a moment of togetherness
It tickles your very senses to the bone
It sizzles in the silence of your thoughts
It doesn't let you sleep
It flows out in your sleepless dreams
Love that cannot be killed
Even when you try and want to .......

Again and again...!

The urge to look into your eyes and 
                to peek into your thoughts...
The urge to hold your hand and 
               to sit through the silences...
The urge to hug you tight and
              to cry my heart out...
The urge to turn back and 
            walk away, when I feel rejected...
                               
  Every time I see you..... again and again.......!

Sometimes...

Sometimes...
The fog on the mirror masks up the thoughts
As the droplets stream down slowly
Is the mirror shedding tears along with me..I wouldn't know...
But I wish I could see it smile more often ...

Sometimes...
The blazing moon reaches out across the skies
so close yet so very far away
Is the moon shining some light in the darkness..I wouldn't know...
But I wish I could hold it close in my palm more often...

Sometimes...
The untiring waves break the shore
as the tides of times gobble up the sands
Is the sea sending me a message of silence...I wouldn't know...
But I wish I could walk on the seaside more often...

           

Me and my silence...

Sometimes, we sit together
holding on to each other's thoughts tight
words neither get spoken nor heard
as we wrap the stars around and stare into the night...

Multitude of emotions
take us far and wide
bringing forth smiles and tears
as we slowly gaze at the feelings and hide...

While the sleep eludes
all I have is my silence to hold
and I sit along by its side
leaving the dreams untold...

Will the dreams come back ???

At times, when she sits alone
Even in the engulfing chaos around
She strains to hear the foot falls…
Will the silence come back?

When she tries to refresh her thoughts

Set in a life linked across times

Warming the heart and raking the past...

Will the memories come back?

While she looks back at a life that’s gone

Trying to trace the path back into love

Like the showers of rain from above...

Will the smiles come back?

As the Sun goes down on another day       

Bridging the worlds with a ray of hope

She looks up to grab the stars again...

Will the dreams come back?
