When your words were sweet and real,
Spurting love, care and heed.
You were in love, head over heel.
Hiding the fondness beneath,
Love blossoming into a tree on a heath.
Alas, the tree began to wither,
Dry up and lose all the vigour.
For there was no more the love,
That watered the roots from the cove.
The bark now turned brown
Full of cracks from the strife and frown.
It is but a matter of time,
The mighty tree shall turn to dust and grime.
Yet, the leaves fly around,
In a hope to search and hound,
In memories shall they bound.
For you will never find me around.
When your guilt shames you down,
And you finally come around.
A lover so devoted,
A lover so besotted!
From adolescence to being a man,
He grew to be as passionate as he can!
Blossomed in the learning years,
Moonstruck he followed,
She flew to chase her dream dear;
Heartache he swallowed!
New at work, a pair of gray eyes,
Locked in a smile;
Heart swooned, touched skies,
Smitten again, been a while!
Her prince awaited in greener land,
Behind was a weeping knight,
Barren, just thorn and sand,
He chained his heart tight!
She smelled of thousand roses,
Mellow, soft and kind;
Her care imposes,
“Its love", states the mind!
Head over heel,
Inflamed with love,
She too feels,
Enamored two doves!
Committed for life,
To be husband and wife!
Hurdled, reluctant kith and kin,
Away he flew, to tell love was no sin!
Curious all, waited long,
To hear the Lover's victorious song!
A lover so devoted,
A lover so besotted!
News spread, the gallant returned,
Quenched would be the hearts that yearned!
Spotted with a new face beside,
When asked, “It was his new bride”!
“Are you sleeping still on Bed?
Have a view of gift ahead,
Oh, the Eid crescent is above your head,
May this beautiful eve turn you crimson Red,
Accept heartiest greetings and tweet,
Because Can’t I buy the bunch of Sweet,
May thou feel head over heel,
And enjoy this festive with full zest and zeal,
Embrace, hug, and switch off all disputes,
And be the human of piety attributes,
This poem will go on and on, So
Keep on enjoying Eid with chirpy brow! ! !

So many questions weighing
heavily on my mind
How could I have been so foolish?
How could I have been so blind?
Allowing my heart to ignore the signs
It such a shame that I have got
no one else but myself to blame
Now that I am falling apart
With nothing to show for loving you
but a broken heart
This situation seems so unreal
Still can’t believe I was head over heel
loving everything about you
Because look at me now,
hating the way you make me feel
Hating everything you put me through
I’m like a bird caught in midflight
Frozen under your spotlight
Loosing me to you
I was comfortable in my skin
Until I let you in
You got me stressing,
second guessing myself
Confusing thoughts in my head
Wondering was it something
I did or said
to make you change?
I let you break through my defense
Didn’t see through your pretense
Until your mask became undone
Your lies tore us apart
It was all an act from the start
Now the scene is over
The curtains drawn
You are gone
It is such shame
that I have got no one else
but myself to blame
Now that I am falling apart
With nothing to show for loving you
but this broken heart
I am desperately afraid of the Fire within,
Afraid it is some kind of trend.
If I fall head over heel for you,
I fear I shall be burned through and through.
It is my soul it will devour,
Here in my darkest hour.
It is drawing the from out of my lungs,
It licks my face with demon tongues.
The flames grow higher,
As does my desire.
So what if I melt into a pool,
I am willing to be your fool.
And if I am around to see the dawn again,
It is your heart I hope to WIN!

My love for you has never swayed
I took my vows I promised it all
I opened my heart I took down the sheild
I was in love head over heel
You loved me to, or so I throught
Then the day came it wasn't me you sought
There were many other women you wanted to feel
You didn't care who they were or what they brought
I was here for you, but you wanted them all
Oh what a tale that computer did tell
While I was hurting and crying
You were typing and playing
For years you had been doing it
My pain to you didn't matter a bit
your cold heart is all I ever got
On other women you wanted your warm body and hands so hot
This was the crummy hand I was dealt
Because you wanted all those notches on your belt
I was here for you, but you wanted them all
Oh what a tale that computer could tell
You were so cruel to me, not a nice word to say
All along you were planning your day
You would be with another, giving her your all
There was no time for me big or small
You typed and played while I had to stand tall
I was here for you, but you wanted it all
Oh what a tale that computer did tell
