Love undone.

If Love walks down the sandy path,
And peeks into your darkened heart,
Would he find himself there?
Or just misery everywhere?

Let's go back to your childhood years,
Rediscover your dreams and fears,
Were the stories so nice so true?
Was it there that love took root?

The Sleeping beauty, Snow white the fair,
Rapunzel with her long golden hair,
Beauty's beast and the charming prince,
Has life been the same ever since?

Their love was true, their love was deep,
Their trials made your eyes weep,
But in the end when they danced and sang,
Was that where your concept of love began?

But where is it now, the love, the song?
Do you ever wonder, what went wrong?
That concept of love that seemed so nice?
Did it just fade into the twilight?

You want love, or so you say,
And will get it in any possible way,
So will you lie? And will you cheat?
Will your eyes ever really meet?

You will act as per your whim,
and ravish every part of him,
Deprive him and play the game,
And unto you , he will do the same.

You will lie back once the deed is done,
When you have had your share of the fun,
Smile and think how good it feels,
To have left the imaginary for the real.

The love inside you has come undone,
It has been replaced by the sense of fun,
And yet when it ends, you feel the pain,
It drives you crazy, you go insane.

Then you wonder, where those days went,
When the concept of love had not yet end,
Those fairy stories come back to you,
And you are left there, just feeling like a fool.

That love is an illusion is known to the world,
A blatant lie, just another word,
A fling is better, quick and nice,
Though the feeling is as cold as Ice.

The love has died or so you say,
It is you that has helped it down this way,
because even for love you use deceit,
and therein lies love's defeat.

Infidelity

He saw her smile, as she came close,
slightly tense, slightly forced,
She came to him, tight she held,
As he felt her heart melt.






She looked at him, a tear in eye,
in silence the moments just crawled bye,
the smile was gone, the lie had end,
but still close to her, him she held.

She slowly started telling in a low tone,
about the countless conversations on the phone,
the smiles she had at her end of the line,
while 'he' convinced her that things were fine.

Those late night talks continued into the day,
and slowly had she lost her way,
lying to her love and in his stead,
wandering off to a stranger's bed.

She had opened her heart and her soul,
and let 'his' body devour them whole,
though that fact that of cheating was on her mind,
a way out of lust her body could not find.

She had held 'him' bare, shamelessly and deep,
as she confessed this, she heard herself weep,
but the man in her arms now was as cold as stone,
ever since she started telling him about her nights on the phone.

She told him about how after their fights,
she had sneaked out to the other's place at nights,
indulging her self there and then,
cheating passionately, again and again.

It went on for months and a few weeks,
till one day she had found him cheat,
she had come unannounced and in her stead,
found some other pretty thing in his bed.






He looked down at her, as he felt his love die,
a smile on his lips as he saw her cry,
he pulled away from her, his heart heavy as stone,
opened the door and told her to go home.

The Knight

Sir Whatshizname was a Knight,
his lance was sharp, his horse was white,
he punished what was wrong, upheld what was right,
and in general gave the bad guys quite a fright.

As you see, his future seemed pretty bright,
to get their daughters married off to him, many-a-father tried,
they smothered him with flattery, deceit and lies,
frankly, it's a wonder how he survived.

Whatshizname by now wanted a bride,
he was tired of fast food and fries,
though Mc Donal's charges pretty right,
the oil on their burgers is not a pretty sight.

"Fair Princess, where art thou!" he cried,
and fretted once his eyes had dried,
untill one fine day a peasant arrived,
and told of a princes who seemed just right.

Immediately our hero got onto his ride,
and rode out to the country side,
looking Jhataak all dressed up in style,
and to woo the princess hard he tried.

A dragon landed just to his right,
to impress the princess, the dragon he must fight,
to give him credit, to be brave he tried.
But under suspicious circumstances, his horse took flight.

So now back at home came the knight,
in front of his mother like a baby he cried,
All the allegations of being a coward he denied,
but in the end I hear it's arranged marriage that he tried.

Paradox

We've seen it happen across the World,
Around us has a storm unfurled,
We sit and watch, immune to the pain,
While the world around us goes insane.

Our life is safe, our life is good,
while people kill for the sake of food,
We eat a bit, leave some on the plate,
While people starve, it goes to waste.

Live in Peace says the Lord,
While people kill in the name of God,
Where is the peace, where is the faith?
Had no Prophet foreseen this fate?

We say "Make the world a better place",
While people kill to conquer states.
Some bullets and some blood are all it takes.
While the rest of the world watches, and waits.

Emotions, they all go hand in glove,
While people Kill in the name of Love,
Is this the paradox? The twist of fate ?
Is there nothing to distinguish Love from hate?

We've seen it happen across the World,
Around us has a storm unfurled,
We sit and watch, immune to the pain,
While the world around us goes insane.

The Answer

It's quite all right for you to say,
Let go of all your fears today,
Stop pretending to be strong,
and own up that you were wrong.

Tell me what i need to know,
see through all i I've tried to not show,
be one of my closest friends,
just to be let down by me again.

No one wants to be alone,
and wait for that never to come phone,
dream of her now and then,
Just to be back to the square one again.

I'm not powerful,
i just try hard to keep my cool,
And yes, i try to be strong,
just to find that what i do is wrong.

It's not something i need,
Or someone to take my hand and lead,
I need peace somewhere in my head,
but get this crazy turbulence instead.

I know i can't do it all,
it's like banging my head against a brick wall,
screw the support and F**k the love,
with misery they come hand in glove.

Being patient sounds all fine,
but how do I convince this heart of mine?
What's the point of going with the flow?
When i refuse to believe in love?

It's a crazy world, who has the time?
And when she comes, will she ever be mine?
and how it will turn out who can tell?
though you say in the end, all's well?

It's not about what i fear,
because that can be conquered by just a few beers,
But to stay away from love is what my heart tells,
And it's what i advice everyone else.

As i let you go

The curtains fall, the lights grow dim,
as the artists take a bow,
a sudden flash takes me back in the past,
As I let you go.

In the sea of memories, i try to swim,
as the thoughts begin to flow,
the tidal wave around me crashes,
As I let you go.

No deed too great, no word too small,
you made me sink so low,
the thought of it now makes me cringe,
As I let you go.

A new sun shines, the days are glad,
and life is all aglow,
And all at once there is peace,
As i let you go.

Melting Moments - 2

I cant sing like Roy Orbison ,

It's not that i didn't give it a try ,

And as much as say , i can be your Hero,

Like Enrique i just can't cry.



A hundred excuses i search for daily ,

And all of them go waste ,

And though i try to take this lightly,

The thought of you don't let me think straight.



A thousand songs last night I heard ,

So i couldn't sleep a wink ,

This lack of my ability to express my self ,

Is driving me over the brink.



A thousand words , a million lines ,

Flow incessantly in my mind ,

And every time i remember your smile ,

Not even one of those anymore can i find.



Countless moments must have passed ,

Since the moment i saw you first ,

Since then all i can do is think about you ,

To that fate i am Cursed.



I'm not much of a poet ,

I can't seem to make this poem fine,

Which is why i end this attempt here ,

And present to you these lines.
