As

As I tell you that you care

Girl I may not know you 

Cause we're neither here nor there

Entice me,

As you tell me it's not fair

Girl you don't know me

Cause this is not a dare

 Analyze me,

As I make you understand 

Girl please give a chance

To this love we bear

Hold me,

As I take you by your hand

Girl I feel you pulsing 

Cause we've got a world to share

Love me..

Time To Go

How do we exchange

Electronic missives

When emotions ain't enough

How do I convince you

That this is no fancy

Even though our minds ain't clear 

To move closer

I do what I must do

I dig deeper

How do I get it through 

That this is love

Even when you're not here

How do I explain the rush

When I enter your mind

This is more than a crush

How do I tell you babe

When I enter your heart

This is love insane..

Haiku Time

Written in the rain,
Connecting cloud and earth,
Love does not burn up


-----------------------------


Amidst mist of trees,
Unknown they lie waiting,
Shifting paths of dreams


 ----------------------------


A seraph of hell,
or a hellion of heaven,
Define thyself my love


 ----------------------------

In your hands

I've drifted back and forth
Envisioning it all
Building dreams
Castles and waterfalls

I ain't giving up
Oh I'm trying
To sell myself, to you
But you ain't buying

Don't say you can't
Make it reality
Do you understand
It's all in your hands

It isn't easy for me
Just as it isn't easy for you
So why can't we
Walk this path made for two

Give me your hand
Shouldn't you keep holding on
Are you even trying, or
Am I slipping away

Don't say you don't know,
Make up your mind
Do you understand
It's all in your head..

Moving On

Smiled a smile
I didn't know I could
Wide as a mile
In my soul

Laughed a laugh
Brought out
Down from the depths
I thought was my home

Sighed a sigh
Calmed and relieved
My anxiety-filled nerves
Unknotted and healed

Dreamt a dream
Silent and loud
With colours that screamed
Bursting through my little head

Shed a tear
When I knew
Now and never
Would you be mine.. 

My Guiding Star

I'll never understand
What it feels like to be you
To never have that nourishment
Whenever you want to

To reach out and hope
Of a life that isn't dreadful
What you dream from this world
That which you struggle through

Love based on survival
Becoming unconditional
Because you know what it's like
To live and not be cynical

I look up to you
Though you look up to no-one
No fancy needs, just dreams
shaped by your reality

I've been there and done that
With the safety of a parachute,
And that's precisely why
I'll never dream like you do.. 

The Ultimatum

Is it in my eyes
Because it is on my mind,
Ifs wheres whens whys
Our destiny is nigh

Is this a dream or reality
Ain't no shred of doubt,
Nor a question to me
That it is real enough

And if you stop to think
That its a foolish fantasy,
That its because of a drink
I may actually agree

Putting it together
And pulling it apart,
Dreaming of us forever
Oh you silly heart

Now that you think of it
Of the miracle of life I've wasted,
It's time I decide to soak in this dream
Or step outside to achieve it.. 

Waiting..

When sun comes out,

And you don't know what to shout,

What are you waiting for..

You know just what you want,

Just those simple thoughts,

Of that you're sure..

Were the clouds to come out,

And if you're not without doubt,

what are you waiting for..

Isn't that a fact of life,

Like a wanderer's mind,

Looking for something more..

But when the moon comes out, 

And you don't know if it's crazy stupid love,

what are you waiting for..

The Fall

Love me,
But don't consume me

Envelop me,
But don't burn me

Hurt me,
But don't desert me

Leave me,
But don't wound me

Scar me,
But don't kill me

Destroy me,
But don't reincarnate me..

The Curse

The life of the party,
At a masquerade
Disarms with a smile,
It matters not what he says

Surrounded by divas and madonnas
Knowing only perfection,
With his body shaming Adonis,
He doesn't need to show affection

Caught in his web,
So casually woven,
She's bound, betrayed,
knowingly surrendered

Nothing she can do
Will make him stay,
His aim is to
Ravage and plunder away

But the hunter doesn't know he's hunted,
By an unkind mistress
Who leaves him drained
And in distress

A silent lady on the side,
She won't take away his charm..
She won't be his bride,
But neither will she bring him harm

Looking into the mirror,
He now curses everyday..
Left with a reminder
As she ticks away..

Hello, Good-bye..

Look back upon your perfect life,
Go through it all like a haze,
Things aren't as they seem, you realize
Navigate a complex maze

Don't wake me,
I'm dreaming,
Our love's a crime

You won't feel me self-destruct,
As you pick your life, imperfect,
And we both watch each other reflect,
Reminisce with much regret

Don't touch me,
I'm screaming,
Our love's a lie

Moving on sounds so hard,
Even as it seems absurd,
There's nothing worse than this wound,
Because this wound, was my world

Don't love me,
I'm bleeding,
My love, good-bye..

Must've..

I'm heading home,
To a place without her,
I'm heading to
A place without love

I'm going back
To where I don't belong,
But it's so black
Void of her song

The scent of her kiss,
still fresh on my lips,
The memories of our bliss
Are mine to reminisce

Ah, the memories are still there
For me to drown in,
For that future,
For which I was longing

Though time will tell
If I made a mistake,
Or if I deserved this,
This dreaded heart-break

But she'll come back, won't she?
Because after all we'd been through,
whatever she meant to me,
I must've meant something to her too..

The Princess & The Frog..

You were a princess
And I was just a frog,
But for you though
I did not long

You came to my pond
And before long,
You lured me
With your incessant song

Taken by your beauty
And of what we could be,
I gave you all
A frog could give and more

You kissed my soul
And made me a Prince,
Yours I'd be
Forever, at your will

As you didn't object
I cast caution to the wind,
I thought I did everything right
To be your true king

But as I became a Prince
Strengthened by your armour without chinks
Something in you changed
That my frog-brain couldn't calculate

Because as I became your Prince
With all that you want,
You then decided
You didn't want me at all..

My all..

Why did you lead me up

Only to bleed me out,

Pull me all the way to heaven

Just to drag me down

Was it to let me know

That I was but a clown,

For every laugh I won

Was at my expense, a scorn

I gave it all away

Damning all consequences,

And I gained nothing in return

Except heartburn

But then it's not your fault

I guess I am to blame,

Because no matter how I'd re-live it

It'd just end up the same

I know I must get up 

every time I fall,

But it hurts to know, next time,

I can't give it my all..

Why do we..

Every day, I feel older
Every day feels colder
So won't you
pull me a little closer

Inspite of love
Would you remember,
The strength of the seams
That held us together

Shades of black
and whispers untold,
A cry
On an impassive shoulder

Is it meaningless to apologize
repentance for my guilt,
As I agonize over
a crime without a sin

But now that its over
Without a winner,
Come to think of it,
Why do we even bother..

A Better Man

It's been too much
Of heaven, to hold
Its precious love, now
turning cold

There's an urge to turn
This chill into warmth
To say something nice
To make it feel better

But there's nothing left to say
As it's all been said and done
There's nothing left to give
As I've given all and held back none

Holding on to something 
Gifted so hastily
Is difficult to let go
And be crushed inside every day

Though with time
I couldn't take any more
But I also know that with time 
I'll be fine, I'll be better.. 

The art of falling apart..

Once the carpet is gone
The floor is laid bare,
As the windows are blown
And the heavy sunlight glares

When the pipes are smashed
And the water flows to waste,
As the concrete is broken
And the steel can't be salvaged

Then you begin to wonder
Wasn't this shelter
to be forever
Built like a rock, not paper

As you begin to question
this foundation ground to dust
Was that all it was
Love relegated to lust

Life is short,
so rebuild your heart,
But only once you've learnt the art
of falling apart..

The Wait

Afternoon's gone
And evening is nigh,
Without you I've spent
Another lonely night

Even the lava lamp's dead
With no remorse
Pictures in my head
With no recourse

Things seem different
When we don't pick a fight
Would I love you more
Under a different light

At my wits' end
And out of my mind,
Always in deadlock
Nev'r in line

Stumbling through a haze
For what should be mine
I await your call
For one last time..

Wanted: Black Swan

Why
Am I insecure about someone
I'm not with

And
Not sure of something
I'm secure in

Why
Am I still unsure
Of life itself

Is that
How my brain 
Is wired to be

Wondering
Will she be my soul-mate
On this rough trail 

And 
Would she have me
As much as I'd want her

Would she 
love me for an eternity
As long as I'd love her

Or
Will she change with time
And become my Delilah

Oh
I could throw up
And I ought to grow up

Knowing 
that only an ephipany
would break me out

Of this infinite loop..

Memory Of You

Wish you could hear this song
Playing aloud in my head,
Without you, it feels so wrong
Without you here instead

Written for your smile
Lost in your charm,
Written for the years,
You'd burrow into my arms

I'm living a million lifetimes with you
Even though you're so far,
But even with all those lifetimes
I'd still want one more

I'm a prisoner of these dreams
But so chained to reality,
A sentence to be served
Away from you for an eternity

What kept me going, yesterday,
And held me alive today,
Is the memory of you for tomorrow
Till the end of all days..
