I Still Love You

Looking back to that year
Remembering and beholding the pain
I was gripped with fear
Even while in the coolness of the rain

It was worst
But it could have been just bad
As I felt as though my heart would burst
And it was way too sad

I got little chance to express
But a disaster it would be to go on
Then I made effort to suppress
The tears of moving on

I looked at the cloudy sky
It was as though I was threatened
To say goodbye
Or be regretfully battered

We departed and waved
Then we didn't see each other until now
And when I realized I have not waived
My mouth threw out a wow

As fresh as the memory could be
I remembered my sweet thoughts of you
And then it occured to me
That I still love you

Lies

Lies lies lies 
Easily and swiftly they flow out 
And never will they stop 
Until the stoppage of life 
Like the blood from the jugular 

They have no potency 
Rather are they independent 
But they spread magnanimously 
Like the cancerous cells 

Their soothing effects 
To the heart of the hearer 
Great and not unenjoyable 
Like the feeling when you diddle 

Lies lies lies 
They don't reproduce 
But they are reproduced 
Like a series of overrunning echoes 

They are not scary 
Rather are they violent 
Yet they kick the heart of the bearer 
Like a player hits the ball 

You don't love them 
But when you hear some 
You give a warm welcome 
Like to a dishy maiden knocking at 
your door 

Non-energetic as they are 
The carry powerful effects 
Inciting disparate reactions 
Like a refree's decision 

You send them the invitation 
Even when they should not come 
Because they are easy to come by 
Like lipstick paints on ladies' lips

Dear One

I gulp a flame of desire
At the sight of your ecclesiastical attire
Being proxy for a pacifier
That elicits a comfort for my quagmire

Your smile, your smile 
A sun in a darkened profile
A moon that illuminates the eventide. 
Oh lily of the while
You let your movement twist my writing style
And your utterances, parch my bile

Your cheek,
Comely and with a perfect sleek
It brings forth my devotion like to a holy week
My arteries gape and tweak... 
When your eyes greet my eyes in streak
And I feel your eyes can unbend an oblique

When you call my name,  l inhale peace
Right from the direction of your sheen anatomical masterpiece. 
It flows into my centrepiece
And makes me say "how I need this! " 

This aura of hightened affection
Induces my heart's rhythm section
My pulse beats to the sequence of your rock n' roll session
Your complexion, 
Makes me want to have no objection
To any of your imperfection
But to uphold your perfection

Your entirety is graced
Euphoric and grippingly fun-aced
Your pulchritude is emphatically embraced
And your probity, well showcased
Appeals to my aftertaste

Once have you spoken, twice have I heard
Like you stole the password
Securing my ghost word
From where I will fangle your byword
Please don't make it your watchword
Rather let us build on the foreword

Fear

A silencer that speaks not of itself
Waiting for the beckoning to come
It shuts its ears from speech
But listens to the heart
Where comes the enticement

You perceive it like its the enticer
You see it like it is inescapable
But fail to remember its helplessness
By the ignorance of the fact
That it waits

It smiles 
At the conversations of the heart of 
some
Who sit on the fence
But gets a setback by those of others
Who have crossed on

You give it the power to leap
From the point where it waits
To the beckoning heart
By the inexistence of willpower 
Which is revealed in thoughts

Like a magnet, it leaps
Straight into the weak heart
Cheerfully gives out its pseudo 
strength
And engulfs the strength in the heart
With which it is able to do more
Which puts a smile on its lean face

It shakes it tails
At the sight of the weak heart
But shivers at the sight of the 
courageous one
Which makes it a coward 
Which joys at the weakness of the 
weak.

Wakeup Strive

Its morning time
But getting up has no drive
Trying to keep my eyes open
I feel such heaviness

Heaviness! 
I don't know where it lies
Also am I not sure, of what?
Whether its there
But I feel it

Such heaviness in my eyes
Even the bright light
Shinning through my window
Is not enough to clear it
And I simply turn my back

At night I have set my alarm
Hoping to jump at its sound in the 
morning 
But I simply throw my hand at the 
clock
And off it goes

I lift my hand to put off the alarm
But I now feel my body as the 
heaviest thing in the world
That I can't lift from the bed
And out of the sleep that I am not 
fully into

My organs are working
But my muscles can't get to do 
enough
And I feel as though they are tied

All these thoughts and feelings run 
through me
Which shows I am not totally asleep
But I still can't get up

When I finally get up, I think;
How can something as simple as 
sleep be difficult to get out of
No answer
But a wondering mind.

Nature and Man

In the strange land of mother earth
Where the creatures there dwell in 
obscurity
While some rear the eagerness to 
break open the veil
Some rare the solicitousness of the 
fate of the unknownness

Where we find ourselves
A foreordained deed of mother 
nature
Feels shunned by the ignorant hearts 
of men
But learning nature's ways is open to 
the one
Who puts his heart in the 
unidentified
And his brain in the island of 
knowledge

I am strange, you are strange
Surely not to mother nature
But to who?
To even the unsung feelings we 
nurse
In our innocent minds and hearts
Towards each other
Even though our hearts
Have been connected by nature
Which birth us

Mother nature has done a great deed
Birthing and connecting us
But our hearts have been kept away
From the hidden fact of nature's 
deeds

No matter how long we estrange 
nature's deeds
Realizing the truth of the unknown is 
failsafe
And nature can never be cheated

Helper of Life

I sit and think
How do I function?
I have no source of answer
Except you

You give me full details about me
That I don't even know
I love you
But some hate you

You don't care if you are hated
Because the fact still remains
That you know about everyone
And you can never go blank

I care about you with my whole heart
And you supply me with information
Even about a stranger
That is not yet born

Others struggle to overshadow you
You don't struggle with them
Yet they can't get there
They deny you
Buy you remain their origin

Those who learn your ways
You make them great helpers
Not for yourself
But to everyone
Even to those who hate you

If you don't exist
Darkness will rule
If your ways are not learnt
Men will die

Many will say
Oh! I am greater
Oh! I can do this and you can't
But they forget that without you
They would not have been born

Many generations have passed
The world's population increases by the day
Those who have learnt your ways
Made this possible

If nobody had learnt your ways
The world's population would have decreased
Because the knowledge of you
Brings about studies
Studies!
Studies!!
About what does and does not affect man

Science is life

At Night

I do not want my dreams
Because they are not where I come 
from
I do not want to go to my nightmares
Because I dread them
My eyes want to shut down
But I quickly open them

And as I lie on my bed
In the darkness of the night
The sound of the crickets I hear
Are like an introduction to my 
nightmares
I can't shut my ears
And they can't shut their mouths

I do not fear the night
I do not hate sleep
I do not dislike the crickets' sounds
But I dread my nightmares
And I don't want my dreams
