Air

There's one thing I know;
we feel the presence of air
every time we breathe.

I Was Wrong

Blamed him for our loss
in yesterday's game, but now
I know I was wrong.

A True Lie

Is it a true lie-
Love is blind
But it is kind?
D'you understand?
A blind man is a kind man,
So is a kind man a blind man;
'Cause if love is blind,
It sees no flaws.
If love is kind,
It gives, gives and gives
So that the other
Might receive, eat and live.

But don't get it twisted,
A blind man may be defeated
Belatedly;
'Cause he sees not the harm the other has done 
repeatedly.
He cannot requite,
He just has to be quiet;
He is sapient and resilient,
And since he can't retaliate,
Does it mean he is kind?
How do we define
A feeling we can't deny?
If love is kind, is it really blind?
If love is blind, is it truly kind?
These blow my mind.

Patience Vs Food

Said patience is good
But, please tell us what to 
do
When we have no food.

Stupid Love

Love is stupid,
Sound of music
What a remix!

A New Look

From an 
eagle eye-
my outlook;
I looked 
and looked.
My eyes on 
you-
twinkling,
as though
I’d been 
hooked on 
you.

“What do I 
do?”
My world I 
thought
you had 
ruled.
Me, still 
look’n at 
you was 
unbeknown
to me.

Shiny dark, 
long hair;
your eyes'o 
seductive,
and body 
so inviting;
dressed to 
thrill,
like the 
erotic dancer,
Mata Hari
of the 
World War 
One
you be.

Heart shook.
Eyes blinked,
and I 
stopped to gaze
as I agnized
you got a 
new look.
As phenomenal
as the 
pages of an 
award-winning
Poetry Book
and a 
masterpiece.

Heart

Let anything bother me
But, it won't murder me

Let it make me crazed;
Of that, I'm not fazed

Who cares not to know
Tell-
Please, if all and all
Is well

Pains! Gains! Chains!
We share,
Chains!
We break

All for one, one for all.

Even when my heart's scared,
It cares!

Give me shoes- your shoes
Let me walk in your shoes

And, the way together, we shall walk.

Heart is in prison
Heart is in the wood
Tell me the reason
E'en though I'll feel blue

Why do I care so much about this heart?
It fell in love with the you it does sense

It can't stop loving
Can't stop throbbing

Oh, can't stop!

Can't stop asking:
How is she?
How is my halflife?
Where is mine?

Heart wants to be complete
Heart loves no defeat
Heart loves no deceit

Let anything bother me
But, it won't murder me

My Lady, tell
Please,
If all is well.

A Mirage

She was much beautiful;
I called her wonderful.
I saw her from afar
Sitting on the sofa.
I moved closer;
I felt better.

I asked for her name;
She asked me the same.
I told her about me;
We became acquainted.
She fell in love;
What a good luck!

We got ready for marriage;
We loved each other's image.
I gave her a kiss;
She returned a hiss.
I woke up from my deep sleep
And realised it wasn't real.
