  A Letter to My Ex

  *****

  I fell in love as easily

  as the tears in your eyes would fall.

  How do I forget

  about our sweet roses of yesterday,

  and the day you walked away?

 

  Love couldn’t be everywhere,

  so it created one heart, for twain;

  shared so much fondness

  about the Mars and Venus factor.

  Now, mine is torn apart.

  How do I cope as one with the pain?

 

  You left me mid something

  that I was getting so used to.

  I gave it my all.

  Now, you are only a bittersweet memory.

  I rue my worth is nothing.

  Who will catch me, if I fall?

 

  The misguided memory of you

  reverses living into little deaths in me.

 

  Old friend,

  the moments we long cherished as forever,

  I can’t believe have no future,

  like a journey without a route;

  trapped between somewhere and nowhere.

 

  I will be the last person who cursed you.

  I remember times you cleaned tears from my eyes;

  kissed my forehead,

  making me feel alright.

  I wish one day you'd wake up & hold me tight, again.

 

  Refrain from calling me Lover,

  for you have found someone else

  you deem better than I.

  Call me by my first name

  And my healing will come true,

  without shame.

  It will strengthen me to do the things

  you've always wanted me to do for myself.

 

  You’ve been my best listener.

  I didn’t need to shout,

  or cry out loud.

  You always heard the faintest wishes hidden in my heart.

 

  I know that I yet love you.

  Allow me to whisper it into your ears,

  for the last time.

  A letter from My Ex

  *****

  The most valuable place that used to be,

  was in you.

  My vulnerabilities you did understand.

  Equal halves of a whole,

  filling the secret places of my being,

  without a touch.

  How could I possibly be sorry…

  for what was so appealing;

  without a sign of worry.

 

  Feelings are made of glass.

  I have come so far,

  understanding the whys of human hearts fragility.

 

  Sometimes you have to stand alone,

  to reaffirm you can still be on your own.

  Sometimes we confuse too much passion as the reason for love,

  when love is the reason for passion.

 

  It's hard to tell your anatomical cells

  to stop loving,

  if you gave your all;

  shared things you never told anyone.

  ‘When the wrong person loves you right’,

  Your wildest might cannot fight.

  You willingly surrender;

  it is noticed by everyone.

 

  I don’t want a perfect life.

  I want a happy one,

  with no strings tied to strife.

 

  How can love be right,

  when it drowns me in pools of tears?

  Wearied am I,

  of wishing for the very things you hide from my face.

  They reincarnate in me unknown fears

  to satisfy your ego and ace.

 

  I have found the right person to carry me on;

  I was too blind to know,

  it’s me, not you.

 

  Today if you don’t miss my absence,

  One day you will miss my presence.

 

  If someday you wake up from your sleeping senses,

  call me.

  I don’t promise I will come back again

  But, I can cry with you,

  for the angel you lost in me.

  Comeback to Make-up

  *****

  Though you cheated on me

  I still love you

  If my sins are concealed,

  that doesn’t make me a saint.

  Although you lied to me

  I still love you

  I have lied several times,

  maybe you were too deeply drowned

  in love to notice it.

  The best roses are sometimes trapped

&n
bsp; in the sharpest thorns

  You are the reason why I cheated

  You are the same reason why I lied

  In the name of paying back

  Yet, I can’t get enough of the world

  to satisfy my flesh and ego

  So how can I let you go?

  If you gave me an option to walk away

  I would rather crawl to you

  on a bent knee than lose you

  Because I am a part of the drama

  I easily fell in love

  with the way the tears in your eyes easily fall

  Slowly, and then washing our blemish away

  My falling and rising depend on

  the clouds gathering in your eyes

  I promise to tame my flesh

  So its demands don’t hurt you blindly anymore

  So that this gentle breeze called love

  can come find a home in us

  and erase my heart

  of its sore stains into the distant shores

  I want to be the one

  you can always trust

  Even if I am one day mistakenly given for the prisons

  Not many reasons for you to cry for me

  But one little flashback about me

  ‘I didn’t give up on you yet’

  I still love you in our imperfection

  Sorry for taking you for granted

  Please promise me

  I will make in your world, the best impression

  If I can boast of the feeling of being alive

  and in love today,

  you are the reason.

  You are the one sent from above for me.

  I can’t deny it!

  Love Rewrote My Story

  *****

  When everyone closed their hearts to me

  LOVE listened to my woes, tenderly.

  When humanity ignored fears passionately,

  LOVE obeyed cherished desires quietly, calmly.

  When ignorance quashed my dignity,

  LOVE valued my heredity attentively.

  When nary a soul celebrated my feat,

  LOVE extolled me & glorified me,

  What a heart rending story!

  I wish to dwell in unending serenity,

  as He touched my inner feelings fondly

  I live to re-tell this LOVING tale forevermore,

  as my story reaches distant shores.

  Love Sung

  *****

  Hey, songwriter

  Write me a song about love's pain

  I swear I won't cry

  I'll softly sing along

  without a single sadness sigh

  I'll hold my tears back

  To where they belong

  And learn from its lessons within

  Mr. DJ play me that song again

  It caught me crying

  without reason

  It relieved me from mental anguish

  Healing I felt in me

  Certainly that was my wish

  Heart aches

  Heart breaks

  Heart faints

  [I’m tired of being tired]

  Keep the ink flowing…

  Its composition

  Invited love filled obsession

  And I received the rebirth

  Of a new creation

  From the haunting of freshness

  The deep shame merited me happiness

  That is all revealed in the lyrics

  Sweet songwriter

  Don't drop that pen

  My soul is on a journey to the classic land

  Your sensational melody is my fuel

  Mr. DJ don't touch that dial

  The chorus reminds me

  My love exist

  I'll forever be singing aloud

  Till the sun sets... till the moon dies

  I'll sing till I have no voice to sing

  Just for you!

  You in Me

  *****

  The flavoring of our harmony

  glows out of light

  Into the young rains

  Breeding an earth fertile,

  Reaping

  A nuptial harvest

  That springs forth

  Evergreen vegetation

  Releasing early morning fogs and breeze of love

  in the refreshing fountain formed from above

  There is this soothing song in us

  Awakening in me a calm feeling

  That crowns me a happy fool

  What a fervency of passion…

  [Which needs no cure]

  That stirs intense emotions in me

  Beyond illusion;

  Bringing out the best thing in me

  Which is right here, YOU!

 

  Lost & Cost

  ****

  My whole world is empty

  without you

  Gone are the younger days

  The wild winds of loneliness stole me

  And opening back the pages

  of our good-old-days together

  I feel I am missing in my own world

  I thought I could be all alone

  But I was wrong

  And never felt strong

  I remember the day

  I came knocking at your heart's door

  At that moment

  I witnessed in my head that:

  With you I am blessed

  Without you I am less

  I pray every day in my mind

  Hoping that someday

  Someone like you

  would be my charming find

  I tell you what…

  You appeared faster than I expected

  Yet I messed it all up

  When I didn’t place any value on you

  Until you were gone all too soon

  I yearn for a second chance

  [With my manly tears]

  So I could be

  that little umbrella over your head again

  The little cushion to comfort us

  The reflection of the mirror

  we could stare at US as one

  continuously everyday

  traveling into our younger happy selves

  again and again with only gain, no pain!

  Discovering the blanket

  that battles our individual fears and tears

  It is not funny to say to you

  As I now have the chance to hold you again

  YOU bring heaven to my eyes’ pains.

  Prodigal Love

  *****

  When I owned all in the world

  You ordained me the one-and-only

  of your heart

  And milked me

  with all the sugar coated pranks and tricks

  in this world

  How was I to know...

  when you re-branded my name to "honey"

  Your sweet lips were feign

  As their walks were meant to wine and dine

  with nothing

  but with my affluence and influence

  Your help added up nothing

  but memories I won’t forget

  with the tears you now leave on my face

  I remember when you blinded me

  with chorus of praises

  of your peers of equal class

  You made me feel like a king

  Now that I am broken and naked

  You are so generous enough

  To throw back at me the ring

  I won’t take it back

  I maybe proud

  But not arrogant

  to the true feelings eating me

  inside right now

  Only me feels and knows,

  Living with less

  Is much better than existing

  without direction

  How was I to know... that was "blind love"

  When we clicked and moved smoothly

  without effort

  Never mind,

  you came as both a blessing and a lesso
n

  As I now open my diary

  reading to my grandchildren

  One of my life’s tales of treasures.

  A boy in Love

  *****

  I promised myself this one

  I was not going

  to quit to race for her love

  The first day my eyes woke up

  to greet such a figure

  that could even make the finest romantic poets

  lost for words

  I ignored all the risks

  I guessed others called me a fool

  Things didn’t start well

  I had to find something more for myself

  Self forgiveness and move on

  The other area guys spying my dream girl

  Tipped her girlfriends with cash

  To tell her wrong stories about me

  I said to myself

  ‘I won’t fight back’

  I will be a brave-coward —

  my destiny will fight for me

  Bent on my knees

  I cried silently to the Heav’ns

  I crawled into my own shell—

  my angels will someday

  rewrite my true story for me

  Now flashing back to my younger days…

  When a boy is in Love

  Everyday

  He smiles without a reason

  And skips breakfast for texting

  When a boy is in Love

  He won’t be silent about it;

  he will spend on the shops latest brands

  to prove to the world

  he can take care of his queen

  He won’t just kiss her lips;

  he will gently confess his secrets to them

  In his heart

  he believes he is better because of her

  He won’t ask her many questions

  And her questions to him

  easily pass for answers

  He will read her eyes with sweet curiosity

  And nods to the little things

  As if they were everything

  He won’t need a love calculator

  to measure their love

  He will go the extra-mile

  To impress her face with the best make-up, a smile

  Now my lovely wife embracing me

  in her warm arms

  She says,

  ‘I didn’t care what my girlfriends said about you…

  I knew we were meant for each other

  The first day,

  with the first word I heard from that gentle heart’

  A girl in Love

  *****

  I promised

  I was not going to love any more

  Weary of the heartbreaks

  and unending marathon of pricks and tricks

  I doubted if true love is real

  Or just another Hollywood movie myth

  There and then someone appeared like an angel

  And changed my story

  This inner spirit said don’t fight for me

  I will be brave—

  I will do the fighting for you,

  This second self said,

  I know many played and tossed

  with your heart

  I will be patient—

  I am here to be with you
