Empty Apartment

It's the 16th Floor, 302F
do not you worry, you'll love it a whole lot.
I can see your hesitation,
but u'll see, this is the perfect one.
Here we are, white door
with his favourite, brass nameplate
reading, Woodsmist in gooseberry black.
On the left is the balcony
and bedroom is on your right.
In front you see, is the kitchen i used
and above is the chantelier we brought,
the day we made love.
I know you like the place,
from your sparkling grey eyes.
I know you love my darling house,
But, you must know
why am selling it so cheap.
It was my nest,
with me and my love.
We sung in the balcony,
dined in here.
When i cooked in the kitchen,
he kissed my neck, holding my waist.
Our nights and holidays
were our bedroom's delight.
I was thee and thee, mine.
All i cared was him and my nest
but, today all i have is
this Empty Apartment.
Neither do i have love
nor i seek any.
He left me alone,
with a skylark unknown.
He said he loved me and
gifted me a memory.
I smiled and thanked
shouted and wept,
But all am left with is
me and this Empty Apartment.
Now, Ma'am you know, why am selling it so.
For now i don't have
the one to sing or cook with me
nor hug or kiss me.
Lets go back and sign the deal
Vastu says its the right time.

She Won'T Stoop

Rose from her dreams

Flourished against centuries of inaction

Broke the spell of inactivity and

Showed the confident strength of maturity.

 

The cultural, the mature world

Crossed the eternal ocean of pain

But that disaster couldn’t stop her there

And she sparkled, with Asia flaunting this asset.

 

Engineering, Medical, Fashion and Food

She raided the market and you know.

That small little island vulnerably placed

Glowed like a diamond amidst coal.

 

No man could stop nor hinder her steps

With her head held high and flowered bosom

She danced in red amidst white,

Like the glowing red sun in a snow white sky.

 

Today its 11th March, I can see her robbed

It wasn’t a man or an animal.

This was the dreadful anger of almighty

Jealous of her beauty and insanity.

 

He ruined her jewels and

Lashed her body.

And now we see her coughing blood

Criminals or innocent he spared no one.

 

Yes she’s wailing and bleeding

Not only he but her children too

Managed to crush the blossom and bloom.

 

Yet I know she won’t stoop

Be it soul or body

She’ll fight and raise back again

Because I know she won’t stop.

You

Flying through my dreams, 

I saw you there, sitting alone 

Without a thought, I landed down, 

To find myself, in you. 

We stared incessantly 

With a smile, I held your hand. 

It was time for u to leave, 

The world of loneliness. 



We flied high and reached the stars 

The warmth there showed me your heart 

I opened up for you to see 

That my soul was meant for you 



For days and years we sung along 

Autumn or rain we were the same. 

But when we were, to be one 

I found myself awake. 

Yet I feel you are somewhere, 

Still within me…

Lying On the Moon

Lying on the Moon
with the stars as my cover,
I dream of the land
with, doves narrating my heart.

I'm soaked, along with you,
In this ocean, sweet like wine.

Walking on the wet grass,
as you hold my hand,
I can feel the sun n'
it's pure warmth.

When I open my lids
you are still here,
above and around.

Lying on the Moon
with the stars as my cover,
I can feel your breathe and,
touch your heart.

Numb

When you smiled, 
I saw a dimple on my face 
When you cried, 
my eyes couldn't see 

But was it real or am i numb??? 
I don know what i feel 
I don understand what i want 
My mind's all gone numb. 

I love you or i don care 
I am yours or no ones mine 
AM I EVEN ALIVE? 

God you did it meticulously 
but yet you made me numb. 

Yeh i did get betrayed 
I looked for love and 
found a traitor 
So am i numb? 

I still feel a desire, love 
and a caring arm. 
I can still see a dream 
which makes me shine.

Be So Forever

I din ever say…

But there’s no other way…

I have to reveal

What I had hidden forever

It isn’t that I no more care for you

But there’s much more you must know

I am not the rays, of the sun

I m not the twinkle, of the stars

I m not the fragrance, of the flowers

I can never be ever with you….

I am the dew on the lotus flower,

Which shines on brightly,

But isn’t a pearl.

I am a dream which isn’t true,

It has to break with every dawn.

I have to fly back to my world

I can’t be the one you want me to be….



I’m embracing the end, of my life

I’m going away, just far away….

I hope you be the same forever

Do not change for the world around you

Love yourself for, I’ll be within your heart

So, I say….Goodbye…

For you might never see me againnn…

Enchanting Pain

embrace to kiss to your movement 
within, close my eyes and allow 
you in. lying below with enchanting
pain and accomplished soul.

The Still Cadaver

Am still, am at peace

For what I had and What I have

Better than dead, lying like a corpse



Physical pain can’t be felt

Nor any hurdle can stop me more



Look in my eyes and you’ll feel

The Grey shimmer of Death.


Spring is coming for you

But my autumn has yet not past


The cult of joy, the spring has

Seems not to stir my body

From this grave.

Gray scale is leading my life

And soon the black’s gonna raid it forever.

Just a premonition,

so that you fore-go this cadaver.

You Are the Culprit

You are the culprit
for you made me feel it.
I smile without a reason
and dance without a song.
My heart is feeling heavy
My breathe has got fast.
I wanna stop all this
but,
Its outta my control.
You are the culprit
for you made me feel it.
I can't be more confused
Please help me get out....of...this thing
as i wanna be free....

Come Back

Wish you could see my heart, weeping....

Its waiting for you to, come...

back to me, forever....

My silent sobs and fear of your loss

is breaking me to a thousand pieces...

 

Wish you could see my soul, dying....

Its waiting for you to, come....

back to me, forever....

 

Dont you come near me, now...

for i cant lose you, again...

Yes you are still in my dreams,

but the real has changed.

 

Wish you had known,what i feel...

That any pain, can't be more....

 

But i can't stop, any longer....

Even your call, can't i reply...

For my heart doesn' beat

it has lost, the rhythm to sing..

 

You might see my face, glow

my lips, smile and

my eyes, glitter...

But you dunno, how much i,

Wish you could see my heart, weeping....

Its waiting for you to, come...

back to me, forever....
