I won’t depart
Like others who come and go
Through the low and intense moments
of your heart
I will stay
To make US complete
When a girl is in Love
Everyday
She wants to be your first hello
And her last good-bye
When a girl is in Love
She will patiently listen
to all your beautiful lies
She will learn to accommodate
all your funny excuses
In her heart she believes
she is the one
to make her man a better person
Don’t take her feelings
For granted, my brother
Because when someday
she’s finally gone
You would be the one
Gnawing your fingers
Why is it that the bad guys get the good girls…
And the good girls fall for the bad ones?
[Just a funny question in my head]
Reminiscing
The gentle whisper into my sweet ears
She says…
‘I don’t need too much…
I just need a safe place
to keep my fragile heart’
Her heart Google and the results were you!
Will YOU be this sincere last one?
Feelings
Calmly, Gently
Rising, Touching, Resting
The heart expressing emotions
Heartfelt
Love and Bullet
*****
Going somewhere, getting nowhere
one step forward, one step back.
Trapped between past and future
totally missing present track.
An angelic spirit, wing span apart,
spoke same language as my heart.....
Worried my song was anything of merit,
No exceptional genes did I inherit,
Trepidation taunted; would she accept?
with fear of loss, took that first step!
Ignoring all risks, ventured into the unknown,
pushing aside brambles in a forest overgrown.
Frustration arose like acrid fountain in my throat;
Like that elusive banana amidst famished monkeys,
like man without a boat, crossing treacherous moat!
My heart’s expedition:
I am that bad hunter,
missing your heart anytime I shoot.
Your warm breath,
melting a man’s heart
like summer’s ice cream.
Would I ever win this race for your love?
Where it will forever be about US in my dreams!
Trapped between peace and war
that journey to you seems unending.
I feel you are the ransom wind of love;
That keeps incubating,
my half-dead heart.
Your every thought guides
my blinded senses to skip the thorns in the roses,
Your shadow becomes the spell,
That wakes me up in the midnights
with our names married together on my cell phone.
My love story can’t be told
without being lost by your beautiful architecture…
If I were a flower, in her hand,
I would boast of being
the most cherished garden in the world,
Where her every tear will forever nourish me.
I had to tarry several nights alone,
While she was gone.
With no wings to fly…
My inner being sung a little song for her;
Deja vu to its beat and rhythm,
I danced to the tune of my own kind of music.
I am not a fan of promises
I promise to make one journey for you
‘I will cross the world for another like you’
With happy tears, I sigh and say
I can’t wait
Just one more day?
Not to kiss your lips,
but to tell your lips an untold tale
‘I love you’
Hearty
Deeply, Gentle
Caring, Dreaming, Charming
Selflessness is my religion.
Human
Long Distance Love
*****
Forever, I want to belong to you
I find myself losing touch
with reality trying to imagine
why I can no more hold your hands
I want to steal some of the beauty
in your eyes to feed my sunken eyes
It is not easy to get used to what I was not used to---
walking alone, eating alone, crying alone
Give me wings
I want to fly with time,
to make our past memories
blend with today’s loneliness
into a future of happiness
I can’t remember
how many times I sub-consciously responded to my name
Thinking you just called to me.
I can’t tell how many times,
I thought every missed call on my phone came from you.
I wish one of the hallucinations knock
on the door today met reality
to welcome you back home for your feast.
It is not easy giving up,
that is why this force called love
keeps eating the inside of me
I feel me dying inside,
with each passing second without your touch
I chose this long impossible journey;
My heart tells me
it is where I belong with you
No regrets,
you rightfully stole what belonged to US
Perfect crime
Last night,
I bought two pair of shoes,
one for you and one for me
When will you return
to occupy your empty pair of shoes,
so I could tell you
I still know your perfect foot size?
Anytime I am asleep in my body
I am awake with you in spirit
My dreams are just dreams
without your presence
If your picture could talk,
it will tell you
my recent obsession to your fantasies
I have become a solo musician,
your name the last song on my lips
I wish you were here
to buy my single hit song of you
with the price of your charming presence
You got my emotions
always hunting for you
as that special grain
among the beach’s sand
Your thoughts preoccupy me
and won’t give me a second to understand
these strange feelings
You may be far away
I take consolation
for my loneliness that you exist
You are only a mirage
of million miles away,
yet beat so close to my heart.
I can feel you, you live right inside my heart.
Every night, before my bed calls me
I count the stars in the skies
Hoping that our paths would cross
as you sit there naming the beautiful stars
after our fond memories together.
The same sky that covers you and I
One day will wipe away the tears
that easily fall from our eyes
And condense them back
into the Heav’ns
as rain for our glorious meeting forever.
Love is…
…when you tell someone everything about you,
a
nd they are still willing to walk with you.
…like a mirror you gaze in every day,
giving you more than enough reasons
to embrace each moment with a smile.
…a journey that takes you a million miles
into the heart of a stranger,
to discover them without posting a price.
…like an employer that employs you for the job
and ‘God bless you’ is written on your check.
…like a popular song
that is played over and over again
and no one gets bored about it.
[Mr. Dj give us moreeeee]
...like a seedling that needs time to grow,
after it has been properly nursed.
…waking up… and feeling that moment should pause,
tomorrow should wait,
and yesterday should have been that moment again.
Love is Love!
When eyes connect
*****
When we meet, we look deeply into our eyes
When our eyes greet, we see a story
When the story is told, we see us
When I see US, your eyes are yet a mystery, BUT
When you said, ‘I do’
I found me in your eyes, as one.
When Reality met You
****
I like you
the way
You are
No matter what the world says
I don’t mind
If you have no special looks
Any salon or book
Can rate you from behind
That’s their mind
To me
You are my treasured find
In that natural face
I see a precious smile;
my heart can’t stop meditating on
I wish the greatest Scientist
Had yet discovered a calculator,
to measure the depth
of this out of world experience in me…
Your mistakes,
I promise to ignore
You are human just like me
So far as you pour your imperfection,
Out from your heart
I am ever willing for us
to be together in our imperfection
so as we can rise together to perfection
With the prize of a bestselling story to tell
I cherish your all
Impoverished to improvised
Your heart’s fragility my priority
To restore to dignity
I opened a bank account
for you in my heart
Filled with undying love
Take a daring walk towards me
And harvest your treasures
If you ever asked me
what would I change in you?
My gentle voice would compose a new song…
When reality meets you tomorrow
[Just remain same for me]
And that would change me,
forever for you.
I adore you just the way you are.
Beauty in Love
*****
Love like you have never felt pain
Love like you have never had heartache
Love like you have never been disappointed
Love like you have never lacked
Love like you have never failed
Love like you have never been cheated
Dream like you want it all done today
Grab it like this is the last chance you got
Cherish it like your long sought appetite.
Love like you have never felt pain
Love like you have never had heartache
Love like you have never been disappointed
Love like you have never lacked
Love like you have never failed
Love like you have never been cheated
Soften your hearts,
Let love
Like a dove
Drink from the gentle flowing banks
Of the rivers of beauty in you
Love like you have never felt pain
Love like you have never had heartache
Love like you have never been disappointed
Love like you have never lacked
Love like you have never failed
Love like you have never been cheated
Beauty cannot exist without love,
Every one of us has something beautiful
To share with the world
Whether young or old,
Release love and there lies the prize of beauty
Suffice for everyone.
Missing Love
*****
I'm surrounded by people,
but am still lonely.
Food and liquid just worshipped my throat this supper
But craving for your soul's food,
made my inner being feel
Empty right-away.
The luxury of sleep
pampers my gentle body everyday
but as soon as I am awake,
lonely hours trouble the little rooms
I reserved in my heart sacredly for you
I wish I could undo this madness
that sacrifices my nobility for follies.
Oh reality, wake me up from this illusion
that drowns me in my own tears
the more I try... the more... [hmm]
I am a willing slave
to that abstract thing called love
I know some people won't understand my way today
but someday,
when our two apart worlds find solace
it'll cause
the MAJESTIC sun to flow
and the MIGHTY oceans to glow.
Missing without You
*****
If only I crawled fast enough to touch you
before you said goodbye
I guess I would have been more obsessed
with your haunted memories
If the price for Heaven was ANYTHING earthly
It would be YOU
Your little details
raised heavens in my heart
If burden could be shared on Judgment Day
I’ll sweetly care for yours
Because, you risked your all for my curses
If the genie gave me one last wish
I won’t ask much …
just promise me a surprise visit soon
My emotions won’t cry for help anymore
Your arms will be my solace once more
I‘ll do perfectly well without the pills
Can’t you feel…
How much your absence
causes me soooo much pain so real?
Please, tell the angels up there
I badly need you too, here
If you can’t afford a return flight from there
Encourage your lender,
I promise a double check when you arrive
I don’t want to be hooked to the cliché---
‘I can’t live without you’
But without you,
every fiber of my living being can’t survive
I pray as the night sleeps in me
I’ll be awake to the charm morning
With your hands locked in mine again
Aw! That would be the sweetest farewell
to my mourning
And we will return to where we used to be.
I Choose You
******
If I had to choose
Between Love and Lust
I will go for you
In you my being won’t rust
If I had to choose
Between a Hug and a Kiss
I will go for reaching out f
or your tears
My heart aches
When I see you captured by fear
Your joyful heart’s songs,
I will miss
If I had to choose
Between Holiday and Work
I will go for your sweet arrest
Where my heart will find good rest
So we could tell our love story every day
To the humming bird
To do the open gossip broadcast
for us into the airs
Where shyness
Will be no more,
From sunset to sunrise
I won’t be surprised
Your love will be that taste on my heart
Today, tomorrow and forever.
Hold me
*****
Something great happened
on this beautiful day:
I’m blessed with hands
To touch,
feel reality and give much.
All I wanted to do.
Serve.
Someday when my feet are too weak
To carry me along
Don't leave me in the middle
Please, don’t let me go
[Remember my heart labours as yours]
Hold me
With your gentle hands
Whisper it to the air
Tell the ocean to meet the sky
To give me a steady rise.
Look not at my face
Before you wonder what you’ll gain
To wipe away my eyes’ pains
Your touch can’t be replaced.
Feel free
Draw closer
Hold me
A bit tighter
Like forever is now.
Let your warmth
Be the muse to inspire
my fond memories.
Hold me
And let me fall asleep
again like a baby;
like the days
when I use to weep
without feeling the pains.
Let Me Lay My Gentle Hands On You
*****
I know just how it feels
When you get that heartache,
To face reality;
Mood so blue and bitter.
Pain won’t last forever.
It will soon be better.
When it all gets too tough
To bid farewell rough thoughts,
Just relax and breathe slooooow.
Close your eyes, feel me close.
I’ll wrap my Earth’s wings ‘bout you,
To keep you always warm.
I want to be the one
You accept in your heart,
Even though you feel pain!
Tattoo now on my heart,
Deep passion not to fade.
I know your emotions
As fervent as they are,
Would surely break me down
If I basked in your shade.
That’s not my illusion.
I am now a part of
Your perfect impression!
Place your fingers near mine.
Fill those empty spaces.
Merge unbreakable bond.
Let me now lay on you,
My willing, gentle hands,
