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.

Verses for Painting & Photography

Broken

Someone once asked me “How do you depict something excruciating that you go numb and cannot speak. You don’t know what hit or when? It’s hard to explain! Because something just dies in you and every moment you feel that!”
It’s difficult to draw a person with such sorrow. The only thing I could think of was how if something hit a glass?

Quote: "My thorns may hurt you, but you must know they protect me from getting hurt by you. I am just a flower, not to be crushed by your whims and fancies. Nurture me, I bring beauty to your garden, a symbol of love and life." - Quotes on Life, Ayanah

I am...

I wait for the wind to brush through, my only love
I spread my hands, dance with him,
Though momentary, yet mesmerizing. 

I do witness stages of life-
Children playing around, their chuckles and fights
Lovers holding hands, never enough of each other
Loners lost in thoughts, hoping to find solace
By dusk-shroud and processions

I comfort those who come to me, lair for the robins
Be it the scorching sun, storm or snow
Such agony, but I never run and hide.

All I am...is nothing but a tree,
Peaceful and silent, full of colors,
Tantalizing it can be, but... with a bleating heart.


 

Life of a leaf...Nature's Child.

Wind of change...that's what I feel around me.
It was a bit painful to walk across since its Winter.
But then... each step ahead; though there are obstacles on the way...
I know I'm closer to home,
Where my heart and mind is.

"Oh! Wind...Let me dance with you once again.Let me smile for one more time, so hold me close, don't say a word.How I wish dawn never breaks?A selfish thought; a fool's prayer or a lover's misery?Be mine at this last hour...have mercy on me.What am I?Nothing but a lonely leaf, in love with the Wind, never was mine to begin with”

"Oh Wind!!! U walked away with no promise of return.
I do sway with no doubt of fear- neither heat nor of storm.
Another dusk sets in for a new dawn to break.
I still must go on for those who are in need of shade, that too of happiness.
Life of a leaf...such a blessing...being Nature's child"

My Man, My Love, My Art

This man, I love the most,
Yet that word I can never say.

Bound by circumstance and relation,
Even though true, this love still is forbidden.

I don’t know when or how, the time or day,
Your existence in my life, it so happened this way…

Happiness I find in loving you,
How? From beginning you were never mine.

Never will there be an “us”
Never what I have can matter.

Your presence in a crowded room
Though hardly together, in those moments I live.

We hardly ever talk,
Though hearing your voice, a rush beyond words.

Won’t ask you for anything,
Nor it’s something you can give,

You won’t take my heart and keep it so safe,
Nor take a peek and see how strong it beats for you.

Don’t know how you’d react, yet my life I put at stake
Please forgive me for this unforgiving mistake.

I think of you, I feel the coolness of a breeze,
I forget my worries; and time seems to freeze.

I see dreams, pain, sorrow and fear-
You come around, wipe away each tear

I tried all possible ways to get immunity
From this love, to be set free,

Prayed everyday,
And tried to forget “You and me”

But I should never have a mind of my own,
What good is it to moan?

I have made a promise to myself,
Never to love anyone the way I love you.

No other man can make me happy,
My life can smile only for you.

The fact remains- you can never be mine,
So excruciating that nothing else hurts.

Finally, I frame my love like a fine piece of art,
Can never be touched, can’t go into my heart.

Then I scream out loud, let the world know,
Call myself a fool to be in this unaccepted love!

Yet I don’t cry, but wonder what to do?
With a smile, I ask myself,
What more can I do to give up this heart?
