A Letter to My Ex
*****
I fell in love as easily
as the tears in your eyes would fall.
How do I forget
about our sweet roses of yesterday,
and the day you walked away?
Love couldn’t be everywhere,
so it created one heart, for twain;
shared so much fondness
about the Mars and Venus factor.
Now, mine is torn apart.
How do I cope as one with the pain?
You left me mid something
that I was getting so used to.
I gave it my all.
Now, you are only a bittersweet memory.
I rue my worth is nothing.
Who will catch me, if I fall?
The misguided memory of you
reverses living into little deaths in me.
Old friend,
the moments we long cherished as forever,
I can’t believe have no future,
like a journey without a route;
trapped between somewhere and nowhere.
I will be the last person who cursed you.
I remember times you cleaned tears from my eyes;
kissed my forehead,
making me feel alright.
I wish one day you'd wake up & hold me tight, again.
Refrain from calling me Lover,
for you have found someone else
you deem better than I.
Call me by my first name
And my healing will come true,
without shame.
It will strengthen me to do the things
you've always wanted me to do for myself.
You’ve been my best listener.
I didn’t need to shout,
or cry out loud.
You always heard the faintest wishes hidden in my heart.
I know that I yet love you.
Allow me to whisper it into your ears,
for the last time.
A letter from My Ex
*****
The most valuable place that used to be,
was in you.
My vulnerabilities you did understand.
Equal halves of a whole,
filling the secret places of my being,
without a touch.
How could I possibly be sorry…
for what was so appealing;
without a sign of worry.
Feelings are made of glass.
I have come so far,
understanding the whys of human hearts fragility.
Sometimes you have to stand alone,
to reaffirm you can still be on your own.
Sometimes we confuse too much passion as the reason for love,
when love is the reason for passion.
It's hard to tell your anatomical cells
to stop loving,
if you gave your all;
shared things you never told anyone.
‘When the wrong person loves you right’,
Your wildest might cannot fight.
You willingly surrender;
it is noticed by everyone.
I don’t want a perfect life.
I want a happy one,
with no strings tied to strife.
How can love be right,
when it drowns me in pools of tears?
Wearied am I,
of wishing for the very things you hide from my face.
They reincarnate in me unknown fears
to satisfy your ego and ace.
I have found the right person to carry me on;
I was too blind to know,
it’s me, not you.
Today if you don’t miss my absence,
One day you will miss my presence.
If someday you wake up from your sleeping senses,
call me.
I don’t promise I will come back again
But, I can cry with you,
for the angel you lost in me.
Comeback to Make-up
*****
Though you cheated on me
I still love you
If my sins are concealed,
that doesn’t make me a saint.
Although you lied to me
I still love you
I have lied several times,
maybe you were too deeply drowned
in love to notice it.
The best roses are sometimes trapped
&n
bsp; in the sharpest thorns
You are the reason why I cheated
You are the same reason why I lied
In the name of paying back
Yet, I can’t get enough of the world
to satisfy my flesh and ego
So how can I let you go?
If you gave me an option to walk away
I would rather crawl to you
on a bent knee than lose you
Because I am a part of the drama
I easily fell in love
with the way the tears in your eyes easily fall
Slowly, and then washing our blemish away
My falling and rising depend on
the clouds gathering in your eyes
I promise to tame my flesh
So its demands don’t hurt you blindly anymore
So that this gentle breeze called love
can come find a home in us
and erase my heart
of its sore stains into the distant shores
I want to be the one
you can always trust
Even if I am one day mistakenly given for the prisons
Not many reasons for you to cry for me
But one little flashback about me
‘I didn’t give up on you yet’
I still love you in our imperfection
Sorry for taking you for granted
Please promise me
I will make in your world, the best impression
If I can boast of the feeling of being alive
and in love today,
you are the reason.
You are the one sent from above for me.
I can’t deny it!
Love Rewrote My Story
*****
When everyone closed their hearts to me
LOVE listened to my woes, tenderly.
When humanity ignored fears passionately,
LOVE obeyed cherished desires quietly, calmly.
When ignorance quashed my dignity,
LOVE valued my heredity attentively.
When nary a soul celebrated my feat,
LOVE extolled me & glorified me,
What a heart rending story!
I wish to dwell in unending serenity,
as He touched my inner feelings fondly
as my story reaches distant shores.
Love Sung
*****
Hey, songwriter
Write me a song about love's pain
I swear I won't cry
I'll softly sing along
without a single sadness sigh
I'll hold my tears back
To where they belong
And learn from its lessons within
Mr. DJ play me that song again
It caught me crying
without reason
It relieved me from mental anguish
Healing I felt in me
Certainly that was my wish
Heart aches
Heart breaks
Heart faints
[I’m tired of being tired]
Keep the ink flowing…
Its composition
Invited love filled obsession
And I received the rebirth
Of a new creation
From the haunting of freshness
The deep shame merited me happiness
That is all revealed in the lyrics
Sweet songwriter
Don't drop that pen
My soul is on a journey to the classic land
Your sensational melody is my fuel
Mr. DJ don't touch that dial
The chorus reminds me
My love exist
I'll forever be singing aloud
Till the sun sets... till the moon dies
I'll sing till I have no voice to sing
Just for you!
You in Me
*****
The flavoring of our harmony
glows out of light
Into the young rains
Breeding an earth fertile,
Reaping
A nuptial harvest
That springs forth
Evergreen vegetation
Releasing early morning fogs and breeze of love
in the refreshing fountain formed from above
There is this soothing song in us
Awakening in me a calm feeling
That crowns me a happy fool
What a fervency of passion…
[Which needs no cure]
That stirs intense emotions in me
Beyond illusion;
Bringing out the best thing in me
Which is right here, YOU!
Lost & Cost
****
My whole world is empty
without you
Gone are the younger days
The wild winds of loneliness stole me
And opening back the pages
of our good-old-days together
I feel I am missing in my own world
I thought I could be all alone
But I was wrong
And never felt strong
I remember the day
I came knocking at your heart's door
At that moment
I witnessed in my head that:
With you I am blessed
Without you I am less
I pray every day in my mind
Hoping that someday
Someone like you
would be my charming find
I tell you what…
You appeared faster than I expected
Yet I messed it all up
When I didn’t place any value on you
Until you were gone all too soon
I yearn for a second chance
[With my manly tears]
So I could be
that little umbrella over your head again
The little cushion to comfort us
The reflection of the mirror
we could stare at US as one
continuously everyday
traveling into our younger happy selves
again and again with only gain, no pain!
Discovering the blanket
that battles our individual fears and tears
It is not funny to say to you
As I now have the chance to hold you again
YOU bring heaven to my eyes’ pains.
Prodigal Love
*****
When I owned all in the world
You ordained me the one-and-only
of your heart
And milked me
with all the sugar coated pranks and tricks
How was I to know...
when you re-branded my name to "honey"
Your sweet lips were feign
As their walks were meant to wine and dine
with nothing
but with my affluence and influence
Your help added up nothing
but memories I won’t forget
with the tears you now leave on my face
I remember when you blinded me
with chorus of praises
of your peers of equal class
You made me feel like a king
Now that I am broken and naked
You are so generous enough
To throw back at me the ring
I won’t take it back
I maybe proud
But not arrogant
to the true feelings eating me
inside right now
Only me feels and knows,
Living with less
Is much better than existing
without direction
How was I to know... that was "blind love"
When we clicked and moved smoothly
without effort
Never mind,
you came as both a blessing and a lesso
n
As I now open my diary
reading to my grandchildren
One of my life’s tales of treasures.
A boy in Love
*****
I promised myself this one
I was not going
to quit to race for her love
The first day my eyes woke up
to greet such a figure
that could even make the finest romantic poets
lost for words
I ignored all the risks
I guessed others called me a fool
Things didn’t start well
I had to find something more for myself
Self forgiveness and move on
The other area guys spying my dream girl
Tipped her girlfriends with cash
To tell her wrong stories about me
I said to myself
‘I won’t fight back’
I will be a brave-coward —
my destiny will fight for me
Bent on my knees
I cried silently to the Heav’ns
I crawled into my own shell—
my angels will someday
rewrite my true story for me
Now flashing back to my younger days…
When a boy is in Love
Everyday
He smiles without a reason
And skips breakfast for texting
When a boy is in Love
He won’t be silent about it;
he will spend on the shops latest brands
to prove to the world
he can take care of his queen
He won’t just kiss her lips;
he will gently confess his secrets to them
In his heart
he believes he is better because of her
He won’t ask her many questions
And her questions to him
easily pass for answers
He will read her eyes with sweet curiosity
And nods to the little things
As if they were everything
He won’t need a love calculator
to measure their love
He will go the extra-mile
To impress her face with the best make-up, a smile
Now my lovely wife embracing me
in her warm arms
She says,
‘I didn’t care what my girlfriends said about you…
I knew we were meant for each other
The first day,
with the first word I heard from that gentle heart’
A girl in Love
*****
I promised
I was not going to love any more
Weary of the heartbreaks
and unending marathon of pricks and tricks
I doubted if true love is real
Or just another Hollywood movie myth
There and then someone appeared like an angel
And changed my story
This inner spirit said don’t fight for me
I will be brave—
I will do the fighting for you,
This second self said,
I know many played and tossed
with your heart
I will be patient—
I am here to be with you
