Scars

How more beautifully can i describe you?
An etetnal bliss
That gleaming sun or a night of wonder.
Baby, you are beautiful,
How can i describe this feeling? 
Feeling of being miserable, helpless in front of those eyes
The pain and ache of distance
The long and crave for closeness 
 What Kills me, is this restlessness 
U see the calm but can't fathom that storm
U are still that fragile blooming in the midst of my barren land
I pour my blood to quench your thirst
Can't see anymore in the dark yet this light blinds me
Don't leave me all alone, I can't breathe
U promised u would stay, this is how you deceive
I open my eyes, see you beside me
Seems like a distant dream 
I can't sleep,afraid to dream that dream
My heart cries for that addiction 
My brain demands your redemption 
Yet i wake up, with a coffee and gaze out of the window
Waiting to be mesmerized by a 'hello'
How can i describe this feeling?
You see me and wave that warmth
I fly with the love and you become my wings
I can't help but smile at your every silly move, 
U hold my hand and get me pirouetting, 
I lay in your arms and you whisper in my ears
Then all of a sudden, you realize
You don't have enough time, you leave without a kiss
And an evanescent moment of recurring pain
Shimmered with love.
I keep weeping in the cold, waiting for you
Looking for an apprehension, 
Looking for salvation.
Can't save myself, can't give up on you
Ruthless yet charismatic 
How more beautifully can i describe you?

Finding the Ocean In Me

I think about Life
How it grows, how it thrives..

I dream to reach those heights
So that I can run and catch those twinkling lights..

Every morn it blooms and twilight reminds of the moon,
How the lonely big star shines all through the doom..

The dark will never fade but the light will show us the way,
All the bad will go and all the good will stay..

Faith in our hearts, will burn that spark
Sunshine would gleam and it would never be dark..

Close your eyes and feel the breeze,
Feel the magic, put your heart at ease..

Time comes and time goes
It's the persistence that vaguely but truly glows..

It's been a long journey, you have been bold
Made a castle out of crystal and gold..

Not all eyes will see, but not all eyes are blind
Look through yourself, courage will remind
It wasn't streams, stones and sands to find
When there lay an ocean behind..

An ocean inside you, that's one of a kind.

A Love Far Away

I wanna reside in u the way u want to reside in me
I wanna be by ur side like u want me to be
I wanna share that love beyond wat words could define
I wanna live in ua eyes and let ur glow settle in mine
I wanna be that smile with which u open ur eyes
I can be that morning when everything is fine
I can be the star that you can gaze in the night
I wanna  be the charm of ur innocent eyes
I can be the love for u, each and every time
U are the ocean but i maybe a wave
U are the sky but i maybe jus one of the million stars
U are beautiful but i maybe jus an admirer 
U are a life breathing life in another but i can be the one who would give it away for you
U deserve to get love and i can give it all to you
U are a dream that i can only dream 
U are as beautiful as the life
A blooming flower, a waking dawn, a sky of colours, the breeze of warmth
 But maybe i m jus  one of ur million admirers.

Dilemma

DILEMMA 

Maybe I shouldn't be doing this,
But what is more left to deny;
I could reason out a list 
Yet so unfair.

I have to go, for my will flies
Still a voice recedes my steps,
Is it worth giving a chance at all,
Or just better backing off.

The love that I barely know,
Has it the power to take my all?
For once it made me taste the sky
But who could trust, when falling is a part.

I can't be mean, my heart cries for a skim,
Should I put a world before the love,
A veil and disguise, a trepidation I couldn't name,
What is the difference though, I still feel your love.
 
Sure a mark hit my face, a dent in my heart
At every passing moment, when realization hit.
I don't mean enough, I despair,
For my bare existence could thrive with thy love.

A women loves and it makes her stronger,
Though you may stay, a mile apart
But before I close that distance
Tell me, will that levitate the worth, I have.

Still this urge, oh so maddening 
A curse that i'm blessed with
To see beyond your flaws for my belief holds
There still maybe some feeling.

I think i have to rise, no depravity; 
But have i had the sense,
I wouldn't have fallen to the core.
My heart beseeches the cruel mind to listen once more.

Am I not strong?
So I must move.
Defeating the fears, filling in the warmth;
Not for thee but for my own beloved soul.

Illusion

ILLUSION

After all the times have passed,
The imprints remain engraved.
As the sun rises up to shine its power;
The stars fear, tremble and cower.
You knew the time would come,
When you join it's power,
When the world doesn't cry
But sing to your Honour.
The day came like a blink, like a wisp.
Still fathom the depth
How deep it left scorched in my thoughts.
Mercy to sun, for the power i showed,
Like arrogant and pompous, after the Grandeur endured
I sit in the dark and deliberate my time.
Was it my fault, I outgrew the sun?
Had my rejoice ring through the streets?
Alas! It was a world unknown to the world.
It was my Illusion.
