1 ONLY FOR YOU

When I am tired

Of getting tired

When I fake it

But nobody can make it

When I laugh

To cover up your bluff

When I leave it

For you to do it

And still you don’t care

To see what’s going on here with me

I feel myself to be stupid

For whatever I did

2 TIMELESS

Wrap me up in your embrace

Let us calm down

Look at my eyes with grace

Let my heart melt down…

It’s the hour of peace…

Give me sometime to hold myself

With the memories we built

Out of my sight, you are delf

And now, you want to rebuild

Give me an hour of peace..

3 SOLITUDE

In the world of starlight

We will meet again

And would sparkle bright

After this life in vain

We would reunite to achieve sanity

Leave behind the shows of vanity

To be at peace

With you at ease

Love would be redefined

In your way would suffice

The story would be seen and rewind

But won’t be created twice.

4 FEERLESS

It was a beautiful spring night

Strolling in the courtyard

And watching the nodding trees

Bears my heart a trench of pain

I sat on the bench and crouched

Under the lamppost

Laying my head down on my hand

I started recalling the cold meals

And sobby nights I went through

Today is no better but not worse too

It’s heavy inside,

Atmosphere feels light though

Breaking the silence

Made some footsteps

I raised my head to find no existence

Was it a hallucination or reality?

But it kept me haunting,

Whenever I sit there alone.

But I still go there

To feel those footsteps

And my eyes find no existence

It’s the loneliness

Which haunts me from inside

And I find those footsteps

To be relieving my loneliness.

5 STUPID

“What’s the difference?

Between you and a call girl”

These words brought her to sense,

She suddenly felt dull…

She was attracted

To that man last night

As a result she got abducted

For a one- night stand

She hated herself

For that one mistake

She felt, she was deaf

And her body ache,..

She had been abandoned

Now she live with a new identity

That she made on her own

It’s such a pity

For the world that doesn’t know

Her true identity…

There was a day when everyone felt

She was stupid

Today she felt

The world is indeed stupid…

6 BARE

A memory reflected tonight,

I was a bit dizzy,

It’s a memory of conversation

He asked my version-

“Why I hate jewelry?”

I found the question, silly

It’s been few years now

I’m still without jewelry

As if I took a vow

I stopped to think,

Stood in front of the mirror without a blink

It’s a sudden realization

As if it opened my blocked vision

I opened my chest

To find the treasure,

In it’s best

Touching the anklets

Feels like shackles,

In it’s place

Are the responsibilities tied in my buckles

Getting to the bangles

Seems like handcuffs

When day and night fails

To understand the guffs

My eyes touched a necklace

It’s my granny’s but feels like a halter

As if I’m forced to face

The world of rotter

It was a quest

To find the answer

The long closed chest

Carried my insecurities and fear

7 DIARY

Sometimes I stop to think weird things

When my imagination takes it’s wings

to say, my bond with my diary

A real friend in my life story

I dump all my emotions,

Through my words flowing in motion

On those pages

Which I turn after ages

To read through those laughter and cries,

Those untold truths and told lies

When I had no one by my side

But still my feelings, I hide

From whom? I don’t know,

But something that I don’t want to show

All those days and nights

Darkness and lights

I scratched it on the body of my diary

And it serve it as my best buddy

I pass down all my shames and worry

As I know it will be safe in my diary

I was not alone but still alone

When I found my diary to be what I only own

And so I share a special bond

It only can consume my emotional pond.

8 RIFT

Mind is our servant

But we are slaves of our heart

Conflict between two will be ever last

Though time is running fast

But coincidence can never be forecast

People overdo things out of lust

It ruin their lives into dust

The moment heart convinces mind hast

Is nothing less than an emotional blast

9 LIFE IN LONG RUN

Everywhere I look today

I find myself to be fading away

The world moved ahead

With times, people have changed

I feel myself to be stagnant

Where my presence was eminent.

I won’t say my life is bad

Or anyway I’m sad

But my life is not too good

And I am not happy to have any of “you”.

10 AGES

Ages passed now realized

It’s been a long time

Since, you are chasing your dreams

Haven’t you realized? Oh! Devine,

Your laughter changed into screams

How have you been so pathetic?

That you never complained

For a life so hectic,

Are you punishing yourself?

But for what?

Have you ever thought?

Stop chasing and take a while,

To face it with a smile

It’s not that easy, but

Not so hard too,

Life is not that vile

That to achieve it

You have to sacrifice your pretty smile.

11 HEALING WORDS

The flowers are yet to bloom

It’s still a dark room,

Let’s open the window

For some rays, wind so slow;

The sky is awake

Moon seems so fake

The clouds are hiding it’s mistake

Stars want to set,

It is such a battle!!

Unaware are grazing cattle,

Outside, was a dark show

Innerself cooled down

My eyes saw black

But, trapped between invisible frown.

12 VALUE

I can’t understand

What my heart craves for

I see the clock filled with sand

And my heart counting every hour

My life had more to offer

But I kept counting my losses

Now I feel myself to be a duffer

When I see the burning busses

The situation is terrible

I locked myself inside a room

My imaginations are horrible

When I found myself to it’s doom

Humans are behaving like wilds

Gere the species are scared

What this fight yields

Is what my heart feared

Counting dead bodies on road

Has become our daily job

People did this as they are bored

Peaceful lives cannot satisfy the mob.

13 LAST PHASE

Everything seems to be in haze

Every moment of my life pays

How can I come out of this phase?

Memories seems to chase

My life has become a mess

How can I come out of this phase?

Whay’s my state, nobody cares

Still to survive, my will power dares

How can I come out of this phase?

Failed in finding ways

And my last hope says-

How can I come out of this phase?

14 LIFELESS

My hand was trembling,

Suddenly it felt numb,

Tears were rolling

Words were dumb.

Never regretted even if it’s worst

It was meant for me,

No matter what it cost,

I always hoped to see.

The moment was ruthless,

Still was captured

As a part of my life race,

But appears to be dead.

15 FAITH

The late night, screams

Tearing me apart

It’s the faith in your eyes

Which keeps me alive..

The scorchy heat

Burns my skin

It’s the faith in your eyes

Which keeps me alive..

My body feels numb

Under the beautiful snowflakes

It’s the faith in your eyes

That keeps me alive

Death finds my door every night

I still hope to see the morning light

It’s the faith in your eyes

That keeps me alive.
