Lying Here

As i’m lying here.
Cold && helpless.
I think to myself.
What if I hadn’t.
Ever loved you.
What if every day.
I didn’t know.
That you existed.
What if i never.
Met you.
Would that save.
Your life.
Would you still.
Be here today.
Walking the earth.
Breathing Freely.
I will never know.
I love you.

Memory

Again came the day of black lettered-
On which, the cruel fortune took the rays of my heart.

A couple of years back, on this very day,
My sweet child passed away.
Who, for her sweet four short years,
Had brought in my life a sway of gay.

Emptied my lap, munched my love,
Smiling and without uttering a single word,
Went off my crazy dove.

None has come yet, none will come,
To fulfil the empty place of my nun.
Silence prevails everywhere in my pensive mind,
Where all my griefs and pangs hide.

My fruit of love, let me know your whereabouts,
Siding all bindings, I shall meet you without any doubts.

Misunderstood

3 o’clock in the night I was weeping

And you thought that I was sleeping

You saw blood pouring out of my hand

And you thought it might have been some accident

You saw me nearby wherever you went

And you thought it was just co-incidence

Day and night you ruled my imagination

And you thought it was just infatuation

Tensed and dumb in front of you I lay

And you thought I got nothing to say

When I needed you I cried in pain

And you thought I was lying again

Hiding my tears I tried to walk tall

And you thought I didn’t cry at all?

My heart is blue

When my heart is blue,
I can always count on you.
Just one touch,
Did you know it meant so much?
A hug, a wink, a gentle smile,
Always there going the extra mile.
To you my friend:
Countless thanks and lifting prayer
To give you strength to lend
And the kindness to care.

My Tears

My tears are not of loss
But of time too quickly gone.
I miss our days together
Even while they’re going on.
I savor odd, sweet moments
When you laugh or when you smile,
Nostalgic for your presence
Though you’re with me all the while.
Strange how fantasy
Can wander in and out at will,
Looking back from somewhere
That is just beyond a hill.
And so when once you leave
You will not leave me alone,
For I will have you with me
Long, long after you are home.

O Death, O Death, Rock Me Asleep

O Death, O Death, rock me asleep,
Bring me to quiet rest;
Let pass my weary guiltless ghost
Out of my careful breast.
Toll on, thou passing bell;
Ring out my doleful knell;
Thy sound my death abroad will tell,
For I must die,
There is no remedy.

My pains, my pains, who can express?
Alas, they are so strong!
My dolours will not suffer strength
My life for to prolong.
Toll on, thou passing bell;
Ring out my doleful knell;
Thy sound my death abroad will tell,
For I must die,
There is no remedy.

Alone, alone in prison strong
I wail my destiny:
Woe worth this cruel hap that I
Must taste this misery!
Toll on, thou passing bell;
Ring out my doleful knell;
Thy sound my death abroad will tell,
For I must die,
There is no remedy.

Farewell, farewell, my pleasures past!
Welcome, my present pain!
I feel my torment so increase
That life cannot remain.
Cease now, thou passing bell,
Ring out my doleful knoll,
For thou my death dost tell:
Lord, pity thou my soul!
Death doth draw nigh,
Sound dolefully:
For now I die,
I die, I die.

Pain

It has many forms, some hurt worse than others
Some cause you to bleed, while others make you cry
Some make you want to die, or be dead, while
others just make you want to stay in bed
Pain, its like a bee stinging you in the face
Pain, its like someone spraying you with mace
Pain, its like having your best friend die
Pain, its like biting into a hot piece of pie
Pain, its like a knife tearing your skin
Pain, its like not having any friends
Pain, its like having your heart ripped in two
Pain, its like not knowing what to do
Pain, is a common thing for me
Pain, it fills my life with sorrow and misery
Pain, it makes me want to cry everyday
Pain, it makes me feel the worst way
Pain, it drives my life and the things I do
Pain, is what I get for loving you…..

Red Drops

Red Drops
it seems
i’m bleeding

My heart
broken
shattered in pieces
countless

No one to help me
to collect my heart
to collect my feelings

Red pool
blood pouring
i lose my wil to live
i died …

She didn’t seem!

And I saw her again!!!!
But She wasn’t the one I knew…
She didn’t seem that person
of my moments… Those precious few

She was the same…
her face, her style…
Her eyes, her lips
Her hair ,her smile….

First time it happened
my heart didn’t beat,
she lost that charm
our waves didn’t meet…

She smiled, she talked
and hugged me again….
But that warmth was lost
her efforts in vain…

First time it happened
I didn’t melt down,
even in her arms
I didn’t get drown….

Then I asked myself,
what happened to me?
I searched within myself,
The reason what that might be.

i cried nights and days
But then did I move on
And the feelings I once had
For her are somehow gone….

Her betrayal, her lies…
Still keeps me alarmed,
My faith in love is gone,
Again I can’t get harmed….

First time it happened,
after she left me in the rain,
First time I felt healing
on my suffocating pain….

She was in my arms agains….
But She wasn’t the one I knew…
She didn’t seem that person
of my moments… Those precious few…

She wasn’t the one
