My
Poems
When
I was in school, I hated poetry! But slowly I got attracted to it and found
that it was a wonderful way to express what you feel.
Well,
I won’t here describe what poetry is, that’s beyond my ken, but I would bore
you with some of my attempts at writing it.
Here
are some of my poems, I don’t know if you’d find it good or bad, but they are
close to my heart...
Curls of your tresses – they eclipse your face
n’ you wipe ‘em off with a gentle caress,
Your move enchants – it’s so full of grace
it sweeps me off my consciousness.
Your beautiful eyes – they intoxicate
Your tender lips – they shape my fate
Your smile – it takes my breath away
All my senses are under your sway
Your words can help me stand alone
Your touch can bring me back when I’m gone
Your love can make my life all sweet
If you’re around, there’s nothin’ else I need
You’re a song – I will never forget
You’re charming – you captivate
It’s you – I don’t want you to change
(forever...)
But one thing – I wish I could replace
Your heart – that gives me no space
But I would love you...
Till I’m lost without a trace
(reduced to ashes...)
You would come to my funeral
this promise you make,
(and I promise you...)
The smoke from my pyre will
silhouette into your shape.
My love, your beautiful eyes –
to them what metaphor do I attach,
They possess that numinous twinkle
neither pearls nor stars can match;
But for once,
I long to possess them water
I want to see tears in your eyes!
My love, your beautiful eyes –
they took my heart away at first sight;
I look into them just for a while
my soul lights up and my days go bright;
But for once,
I won’t look into them to cheer me up
I want to see tears in your eyes!
My love, your beautiful eyes –
they’ve made my life beautiful like never,
They glance at me n’ my woes are gone
I pray those suns shine bright forever;
But for once,
I want to see them cloudy
I want to see tears in your eyes!
My love, your beautiful eyes –
they have given meaning to my life,
But for once,
I want to see them in tears.
Promise me my love, you would shed a tear
When I would be gone, lost forever.
Last night, I took back home,
broken dreams and a heart torn asunder.
Even my first wine couldn’t help me
with the sinking feeling that I’ve lost her.
They were in each other’s eyes,
and I knew that she was another’s.
My heart rent apart
and I cursed, why I loved her.
But I won’t call her unfaithful; her love
was a chimera foolishly cherished by me.
Still I had felt the pain almost fatally,
as if one has carved out a part out of me.
This morning I had thought, I would write
some saddest verses celebrating my pain.
But she walked upto me and smiled
and kindled those childish hopes again.
I know, she might never be mine
but I can’t help breathing her scent.
Her aroma has gone deep inside me
and now – it has left a deep dent.
It’s all my fault, no body to blame.
I remember her words, or a warning did she lend.
But I never heeded,
and allowed her eyes to become my friend.
I thought I had
resolved my crisis,
I thought I had
accepted the truth.
I thought with time
I would free myself
from your sweet captivation.
But even today;
Your smile
catches my breath,
Your eyes
blinds everything else,
Your words
drown out the world.
And I know...
they are not for me.
Why do I still hope
against all hopes.
Why am I still waiting
when it’s all over.
I don’t know why,
why...
I’m living without you.
before I could tell my story,
before I could say sorry,
before I could try,
she said goodbye.
before I could shed a tear,
before I could look back,
before I could cry,
she said goodbye.
I wrote our names
on a piece of paper
and it looked beautiful
our names
together
so close
like
you and me
walking side by side
holding each other’s arms
I wish it was as easy
as writing on a piece of paper
you and me
being together
forever...
How can I forget
my sweetest dream ever,
That night I had felt
I am going to live forever.
That night clouds thundered
and there was a storm,
I lay so close to you
when I died in your arms.
You came in my life,
desires were born.
I was so happy,
there was nothing to mourn.
I loved you my love...
but now, I’m forlorn.
It has been tough,
but now I’ve known.
Beneath the rose,
lies the thorn.
1) I tried to forget you,
but memories don’t go.
I tried not to think you,
but it’s you and only you.
I tried not to see you,
I go blind as I do.
I tried all I could,
now tell me what to do...
2) You can hit me,
I won’t cry.
Aim and shoot me,
I won’t hide.
But don’t do this,
don’t ever try.
I tell you the way,
I won’t lie.
If you forget me,
I will die.
Show me you love
Show me you care
I need it the most
to be alive here
Give me a wink
Give me a glare
I need it the most
to be alive here
Tell me some words
Tell me you’re near
I need it the most
to be alive here
Hold hands with me
Hold me forever
I need it the most
to be alive here
Look into my heart
I’ve opened it bare
I need you the most
to be alive here
They ask me why, I myself wonder
Why do I love her just to be unloved
Why can’t I stop loving her forever
When my love is always unreturned
They ask me why, I myself wonder
Why are her eyes only thing I see
Whey they care no love to shower
Why have I left my life at their mercy
They ask me why, I myself wonder
Why do I find her walk like an angel
When she made an effort quite never
To walk a step and ask me if all’s well
They ask me why, I myself wonder
Why do her lips rule my heart rhythms
When they say no words that I hunger
And I only kissed them in my dreams
They ask me why, I myself wonder
Why does her touch halt my breathing
When it’s never the touch of a lover
And she never came in my arms running
They ask me why, I myself wonder
Why do I miss her when weather gets fine
Why do I think her with me forever
When I know she may never be mine
So many times have I tried
to get over all the memories
But I find myself obscure
undefined and incomplete
So many times have I tried
to think of me and not of you
But I don’t find myself there
where you’re not in view
So many times have I tried
to stop looking into your eyes
But then mirrors that I have
seem to show me just all lies
So many times have I tried
to think you as a day bygone
But everyday I keep waiting
for such a yesterday to come
So many times have I tried
to imagine I never loved you
But my feelings bleed at the thought
as if maimed through and through
So many times have I tried
to write the last lines for you
But each word of such line
bears another verse anew
Thank you for the love
you make me feel it deep inside
You’ve made me love myself
I can face myself with pride
Thank you for your smiles
you make my dreams realized
Sweet stretch of you lips
spreads my soul immortalized
Thank you for bringing tears
you made my heart come up clean
I had felt this life ephemeral
lies take away whose sheen
Thank you for your words
you’ve defined me all along
Now I know what I am
so capable so strong
Thank you for that silence
you had chosen me to charge
I had felt the world go down
so much weak that I was
Thank you for this feeling
I feel that you belong to me
I may possess you never
but thank you for being thee
My words may sound wrong
I don’t know how to put it right
Let me say what I feel pure
Honey let me kiss you tonight
My love needs a touch
Touch that would keep me alive
Let me touch your lips
Honey let me kiss you tonight
I have loved you selflessly
But desires are soaring tonight
Let me desire you for once
Honey let me kiss you tonight
Tonight you look beautiful
But it’s not the beauty that I sight
Let me feel you deep inside
Honey let me kiss you tonight
I have felt you with me always
But I want to feel you outright
Let our souls meet forever
Honey let me kiss you tonight
All the greenbacks that I might earn
All the great places that I might see
My friends would say this is what I wanted
This is where I wanted to be
My mother would be happy for her son
She would find me have an income smart
And I would always try to keep her happy
Earning all days and nights apart
I’m not a fool who’d earn to buy happiness
who’d search for solace wandering all over
But I’d still earn and keep on wandering
for I don’t want to stop and look back ever
to find a love I could never earn
to find a path where I walked alone
to find a life I always wanted to live
to find a soul I surrendered to you
