Aug 24, 2018 - This Day, I Smile!

A wandering soul, shattered heart,

Searching for those pieces, 

I met you, saw you smile.

Love is what you were looking for, 

Those pieces I had, gave it all.

I knew you weren’t happy,

Asked me to set you free.

I did, with what’s left of me,

Saw you walk away, I did smile

Because you are my pain, I bear.

Living in your memories

With a hope floating in darkness.

Your voice it echoes even in silence,

No tears, no heartbeat, just emptiness. 

With a prayer,

May all the stars keeps you safe.

May all your dreams come true.

Live each moment, be happy

And in your happiness, I smile

Because you are my pain, I bear.

The Wandering Soul

You live in a world of unlimited choices, what exists today may not be there tomorrow.
People will underestimate your expressions, emotions, your kindness, or the way you care.
They could perceive you wrong, take you for granted.
They'll control you, judge you, manipulate you, strip you down, betray and leave you in the dark.
Taunting words, broken promises, death of a loved one, all could emotionally destroy you.

You’ll fall, bleed to death.
You'll pick up what’s left of you, and continue walking.
You are taught not to break a heart, even those who can’t handle yours.
You let go, pray for those who hurt you the most, for their happiness, they deserve better.
Your age, body, skin, choices will change.
Your scars will remain, you’ll have more wounds, and your life...will change with time. 

What matters is...

You’ve known pain like your own shadow.
You are born with a loving heart.
You’ve known to love, genuine and unconditional.
But, you don’t need a coward who’ll awaken your love but can never love you.

What matters is...

You are built in fire.
You are born for a reason, and you’ve found yourself.
You are determined.
You are still standing even after the worse storm, that too with a smile.
And that makes you strong, brave - a true survivor. 

In God's Witness

I wander lost, see you in my dreams
I lie awake, still thinking
What could’ve been if you were here with me?
May it be fate, or a change of heart
You’re gone, I’m all alone.
Does God tell you how I keep myself alive?
Do you see me close my eyes,
Breathe in your memories?
Do you hear me cry?
With a heartache that kills me?
Can you feel me reach out to the stars?
Hoping if I could see you one last time.


In God’s witness, I promise,
A vow for a lifetime and many more...
If I live again, I’ll find you.
I’ll protect you, fight your wars,
Be your hope, the way you are mine.
But...will you remember me
If I call out your name?
Will you hold me close
Feel my heart?
Will you believe if I say “I love you”
More than you’ll ever know.
I may not be your first,
But I hope to be the last you loved.

Mist

When I see you, I forget all the pain

Feel alive once again.

I wonder how does it feel to touch you,

Or hold you close?

I am just a human, having a heart

That envies those

Who gets to see you every day,

The way you smile with love,

The way you hug, arms wide spread.

I know, you are just a dream

You'll only last for a moment,

But...it's worth a wait

For a lifetime.

Oh Moon!!! My true love,
You wait for an year for me to bloom, 

You caress me, I smile... 
And the Wind spreads our fragrance of love.

Dawn slowly breaks in, so does the agony!
... I kiss you goodbye, and your wait continues....

Our love, even though only for few hour- a beautiful harmony. 

My heart

I wake up from a deep sleep,
And my day starts by hearing your voice.

I wait for the sun to rise and never to set,
I can talk to you then all day long

I know one day you will leave me,
My smile, flower petals falling off one by one.

Even then, I’ll be with you till that day,
Every single moment, a drop of the sweetest wine.

I wish to be a cool breeze,
So I could hold your hand and walk with you,

I wish to be a ray of light,
So I could lead you away from sorrows and give you happiness.

I wish to be a star up in the sky,
So I could watch you from billions of miles away,

I wish to be a butterfly,
So I could kiss you goodnight.

I don’t have anything with me to give,
But…

Something that beats faster
When it hears your voice and aches when it doesn’t.

It’s my little heart, that’s pure and true
It has only known how to completely love you.
