Your Love Remains Incomparable

Being thirsty for long,when falls on earth the first drop of season
 To be in love with the rain,God gave it the reason.
 I can compare my love with that earth and rain,
 because in the same way you give that calmness to my heart & brain.
 
When the water comes from a height and falls into the river,
 the river opens her arm to stay then & forever together.
 I can compare my love with that fall and river,
 because in the same way in your arm i feel secure forever.
 
Making itself so hard,just to protect its flower
 the thorn in this sacrificing way,the love it shower.
 I can compare my love with that thorn and flower,
 because in the same way,to fulfill my desires your dreams you shatter.
 
With that fast blowing wind,a leaf flies away
 without knowing where to go,in this way its commitment it say.
 I can compare my love with that wind and leaf,
 because in the same way,I have in you that unconditional belief.
 
Even after comparing with many, incomparable & incredible your love remains
 I am the luckiest to be in that happiness so dense.
 Wherever i find love,there i find only you,
 really to get something so precious,there are fortunate very few.

Oh I Can'T Listen,Please Repeat-You Called It Integral

Don't wait for darkest storm,let it spread the light now,
Don't let it boil in the steam of hatred,let it be cool and spread its fragrance now.

Oh you people,when you will face him on resurrection,what will you answer?
Yeah you want to go heaven,but turning it into hell which is just a bit lesser.

I really pity your thought,that chaos will sort the matter
Forget it!No more,no more,no more its here.

The suffering of innocents,the body shattered with pellets and the growing fear,
Silence in the worldly heaven,cheeks wet with tears,has made them now HIS dear.

Now the matter has reached the court,where creator  is the judge,
Fear you spineless and coward,if you still don't grudge.

HE will soon take the decision, what to do with these termite and worm.
Dear just firm your feet of patience a little more,as light always comes after darkest storm.

Oh I can't listen,please repeat-"You called it integral"?
Stop for HIS sake! Let its beauty grow, don't make it dull.

The Rarest Tale of Love

Today my heart is caught in a great dilemma,
 It is unusual,uncommon & very rare,
 when mind stops to think,but heart continues its work,
 today i am in that stage of love.
 
This tragedy with someone is really very rare,
 That secret of my life today i want to share,
 Unconditional & uncertain towards him i was walking,
 At that moment mind was ceased to think what i was doing.
 
That extreme care & commitment so intense,
 this was the only feeling in my whole soul which i can sense,
 but in a second got shattered all my dream,
 When i realize that in his world,only a little i mean.
 
my life entered in that darkness,where light even fears to go,
 The lips which were ever smiling,on those lips now smile fears to grow. 
At that worst moment of life,someone entered my lane,
 I couldn't even noticed that he loved me like an insane.
 
Now here also once again got repeated the tale,
 situation made me so, that to love him i fail,
 It was impossible for me to fall in love anymore,
 'Love' & 'me' became the two sides of a seashore.
 
This was the tale uptil here,
 about which you can think that isn't so rare,
 But there is a truth making it EXTRAORDINARY,
 Not a lie,not a story,it is something real about me.
 
About the two person i told were not the different two,
 Yeah he was the same whom i loved,& who loved me too.
 The situation made him so different at different time,
 That's the RARENESS with the life of mine.
 
I never got the one,whom i really loved,
 He never got the one,whom he really loved,
 With every breath now,myself melting i find,
 I broked someone's heart & couldn't even saved mine

Replacement Better Than Renewal

Yeah those feelings and the emotions;
But there doesn't exist any relation

Commonly that is found,is the physical attraction;
But the rare one,is the mental connection

When the toxic embossed imprint start getting blur;
And the deep hidden reality inside the heart begin to uncurl

Sooner or later I realized however;
That the dusky dawn can't cover the twilight

To read the secret in those eyes, no stone remains unturn;
And to bring those brightness again someone is ready to burn

An old tale with a new twist,that was left unread from long;
Has enlightened again from subdued craving as a mesmerizing song.

She Is Her Own Hero

When her heart becomes so heavy that cant bear the weight,
It oozes out not in tears,but it bleeds as words.

When eyes support her,and tells"hey you don't show the pain to this world"
They play safe,they will listen story,but never be a part of it.

Then its her fingers; come closer to help her to make her feel light,
Until she writes all her pain,they hold on the pen tight.

Her mind explain that "dear don't have any grudge"
However good you will be,the world will judge.

One of her hand hold down her hairs supporting the forehead,
So that she could hide that, what her face reflects.

Let her get lost in her own world today,
she is still on path undeviated,so let her stay!

Not Just the Chapter,Now Book Is Closed

And when she feels like writing,
Its only her pen,heart and feeling.
Rest of the world stop working
And to distract her,there exist nothing.

Yeah,for the love she was craving for long,
She has never imagined that it could be wrong.
As her trust on Almighty,increased day by day,
White turned black as she never knew what is grey.

When her heart was trapped in a cage unknown,
She made every effort to make all its corner known.
What a strange delirium she was going through,
But she got,some dreams are better when they don't come true.

She kept giving chances,alas!still she lacked,
But if once she is done,she never turn back.
What Almighty has destined,can never remain unfold,
So that was it and her story remained untold.

None won her trust;who was secret keeper of all,
And 'HE' rescued her again when she was about to fall.
That was a miraged love that made her blood stir like a storm,
Love is something that provides calmness,she has just written today to suggest you all.

And When I Turn Behind

And when I turn behind
I am always down by what I find.
Some important papers of my father,
Which now he don't even remember,
Some photos preserved by my mother,
Losing the one makes her bother.
White pages that have turned yellow with time,
Mother adjusting her glasses to read them and rewind.
Few memories kept in father's old briefcase,
He calls me to show them with teary eyes and face.
Passed the day when he was my protector,
Now I keep an eye on his little endeavor.
Mother being strong,
Still struggling from long.
My lord bestow them now an everlasting happiness,
Bring them peace and eternal bliss.
Most difficult is to leave them alone at this stage,
Who kept us nurturing their entire age.
And when I turn behind
These all are very painful to find!

You are not lost

You feel burnout, it’s okay to be
You feel lost, it’s okay again
You find yourself a failure
You find it too difficult to endure
 
and then you see those charming eyes
In your one glance their peace lies
That gummy smile with buzzing sound
Creates an aura of mesmerizing bound
 
Suddenly you realize you have it all
Really honey you’re not fall
What time has brought in front of you
It takes emotions to realize though
 
You were strong and never meant to be caged
now you have little wings that keep you engaged
Not all souls are blessed with this beautiful gift
So it’s okay to fail yourself a bit on this twist
 
Sun will shine again and will come that day
you will find your worth lost in the hay
Till then enjoy every little bit of this phase
Very soon flies every milestone every stage…
