3 Days

We talk only 3 days in a year,
Like a festival that comes once in a year.
That too during Durga Puja,
And the rest 362 or 363 days we barely know each other.
It seems that I not only wait for Durga Puja,
But also I wait for those 3 days just to see and talk with her.
It's a 3 days one sided love story,
Which has a sad ending like all stories.
But there is a difference in this story,
That is the hero is the villain of this story.
In those 3 days I try to be friends with her again,
Just because I don't want to remain as a stranger all over  again.
As this is a 3 days love story,
We neither become friends nor enemy at the end of this story.
As I am stranger for her for the rest of the year,
So I have nothing to fear.
Closer we are,
But mentally and emotionally she is far away from here.
But still like a gentleman I wait for her,
And like a gentleman I still keep looking for her.
I guess we are not meant for each other,
Even our destiny is far different from one another.
I want this story to have a happy ending,
Because after 3 days the pain inside me is never ending.
Those 3 days are just like a festival,
Which gives me immense joy for a short interval.
Like Maa Durga after Dashami she is gone,
And after that I am left all alone.
So we talk only 3 days in a year,
Just like a festival that comes once in a year.

My Masquerade

The real me isn't the confident one,
I fear to be hated by everyone,
My soul was consumed by desire,
A look for love to acquire,
I don't want to give myself to fear,
I don't want my true nature to appear,
What if I am not real,
At least my fake one's heart is made of steel,
Whenever I am in trouble I will always wear my masquerade,
I will not care even if my shine does fade,
Whenever I am in trouble I will always wear my masquerade,
I will not care even if scars are made.

My alter ego isn't introvert,
Because of it at least I am not hurt,
Under this mask I hold an ugly face,
Truths that no one can trace,
I wish that my mask could be my own skin,
Wearing this I feel that I am committing sin,
Still I will not fear lifting this mask again,
I guess my life was never meant to be normal again,
So whenever I am in trouble I will always wear my masquerade,
I will not care even if the plastic faces are on parade,
Whenever I am in trouble I will always wear my masquerade,
As life goes on my scars will eventually fade.

Firefly

Today after diwali night,
I was walking on the streets of light.
The winter is drawing nearer,
Just because the sky is  getting colder.
Then right out of no where I had a glimpse of you,
And my mind was engulfed by the thoughts of you.

I see your face shining in the dark,
It steals my gaze and  heart.
I want to have you near me,
Your face that is all I wanted to see.
But you just pass me by,
Just like a firefly.

One more time I want to see you,
One more time I want to spend some time with you.
And you will never feel the way I do,
The more I want you the more it breaks my heart and that is what you do.
But still I could never ever hate you,
Just because it's you.

The complex's garden is my favourite place,
Its beauty that is all I love to embrace.
I see those beautiful butterflies,
Which are soothing to my eyes.
And then you just pass me by,
Just like a firefly.

One more time I want to see you,
One more time I want to see the bright light from you.
Even if you are shimmering in the darkness,
That light is enough to end my loneliness.
And you are still in my memory,
As I still love you quietly.

And you just can't hold that light onto it,
As I can't reach it.
I wonder why I still keep thinking about you,
It makes me cry as I think of you.
And you will never feel the way I do,
Because breaking my heart is what you like to do.

I still keep waiting for the light,
In the night.
In search of you,
Even though I know that I have already lost you.
But then you just pass me by,
Just like a firefly.

The Rain

It's raining.
Boats of thoughts are sailing.
Outside children are playing,
And enjoying.

It makes me remember my own childhood days.
Those unforgettable golden days.
Nothing to worry about,
Just play all day, scream and shout.

Only motive was to chase  my own dreams,
And eat chocolates and creams.
Also everyday I used to try  to have a glimpse of my own crush,
And waiting for the right time as I was in no rush.

But now things have changed.
Even people have changed.
But that is not something unusual.
Time and circumstances have changed each and every individual.

Now we just keep looking for jobs,
Ignoring our heart even if it sobs.
We all are in greed for money,
But deep inside we are frustrated and lonely.

Greed for money blinded us all,
We think it as a rise but deep inside we fall.
Even our dreams have faded away,
Now we are working like a machine everyday.

There should be a limit to our own greed.
A limit to what we need.
Because blinded by our own greediness,
We forget our own happiness.

Even though this is not the end,
But one day it will my dear friend.
Because forever is just a lie,
And one day everybody is going to die.

Thinking about it what's the point of enjoying the rain,
When there is so much pain.
After all  human beings are all same,
So just make a difference in your name.

You

She is gone,
But the pain hasn't gone.
She never runs out of my mind,
Just because she is the only one of my kind.
I cross paths with her more than 5 times a day,
But couldn't gather that much courage to show her up my face any day.
Everyday I see her,
But never had that courage to call her.
After she was gone there is still no sunshine,
But even if the sun doesn't shine it's fine.
May be I wasn't able to pluck the right strings of her heart.
In her life I failed to create a mark.
I lost the right to call her name,
But deep inside my heart always screams her name.
No matter what happens I will always keep running back to you,
As I am not giving up my hopes to be with you.

Crown

You are alone,
So what if everybody has gone,
You are not yet blind,
Solution to the problem you just have to find,
Count your blessings,
Not your faults,
You have got it all,
Just don't lose your control,
You can still reclaim your crown,
Just don't bow down.

You may have lost your mind,
Just because the monsters inside your head is controlling your mind,
Sometimes you don't understand the problem is  what about,
Because you are wrapped up in your self doubt,
But there is so much more,
Which you can't ignore,
So just forget your past,
And make sure that you are not your past,
Because you can still reclaim your crown,
Just don't bow down.

You can still control your madness,
But there is no logic in your sadness,
Because you gain nothing from misery,
And this is not your destiny,
Put your faults to bed,
Don't loose hopes even if it is the end,
Even if you fall down just get up again,
Because you can be king or Queen again,
For that you have to reclaim your crown,
Just don't bow down.

The Wall

She lives on the other side of the wall,
Which stands strong and tall.
Not only physically,
But also emotionally.

Away from me less than a feet,
She tries to maintain the wall whenever we meet.
What's the point of maintaining the wall?
Can we forget the differences and our past once and for all?

My heart wants to cross the border.
It can't stand or wait any longer.
Can we please break the wall?
Because the matter is so small.

I am trying to break it all alone.
All my strength is gone.
All I want is you,that's all.
Together we can easily break the wall.

Physically you stay on the other side of the wall,
But at least between us don't built a wall.
So please just help me in breaking the wall,
Let's just end it once and for all.

Tinder

I installed the tinder app,
Hoping that a match could fill my heart's gap.
But I used to swipe left or right,
Just to get through another boring night.

Then I saw my crush on tinder,
What on earth she is doing here still I wonder.
Thousand thoughts ran in my mind,
But when it comes to her I am blind.

Even if I give her super like or swipe right,
Still there won't be no light in my night. 
Because for her I am a stranger,
As if I am some kind of danger.

Should I swipe left,
Where nothing is left,
Or should I swipe right,
Where nothing is right.

Confusions,memories and thoughts ran in my mind,
But no solution I could find.
I couldn't close the app then,
Because one day I would have to face her again.

No matter what happens my feelings for her will always remain the same,
As my heart always screams her name.
Hoping for the light in my night,
I swiped right.

So I installed the tinder app,
Hoping that a match could fill my heart's gap.
But then I saw her on tinder,
And I swiped right hoping that one day I would put a ring on her finger.

This Love

I know this love is killing me inside,
But with this feelings I can't cope up much in life.
Will you be my light in the darkest nights?
Will you be my ray of hope?
Will you guide me
Just like stars on a dark night?
Will you guide me home?
I want you to be my first and last ray of hope.
As the sun beats down on my face,
The same way I want your light to beat harder.
I know this love is killing me inside,
But with this feelings I want to tell you that I will always keep waiting for you.

Paragon of Love

For love we try to do wonders,
Only to make our happy endings real.
We fight for it no matter what happens,
Thinking it to be worth the cost.

But is love that hard?
Actually it's not.
Actually it's us and the people we love who makes it look hard.
But the right person will make you feel like a cake walk.

I am sure one day you will meet someone,
Who will actually nudge you on the right path and will give you the best advice.
All of a sudden your life becomes simple,
And starts making sense just because of that person.

I know we romanticize other's love story or a movie or poetry,
But in their case love actually never arrived so easily.
Because life is all about trials and errors.
You just have to wait for the right time and right person to appear in your life.

When someone's really into you,
You don't have to beg for their attention or anything.
Nothing needs to be forced when someone genuinely loves you.
They will be there for you even if they aren't around you.

I know sometimes things will be hard on you,
But I also believe that you will find your way out,
And it will easily be forgettable in front of the person you love.
In short you will live and not survive.

Love is beautiful,
Love is magical.
Love finds peace when you look at your lover's eyes.
Love hopes you to be a Paragon for other's love story.
