Yours Forever

I intent to write a book, he said
Where will you start from, she asked.
From you, he replied.

You were the love that I forever searched
But never found anywhere.
And that's how our story will remain incomplete.

You are the ill-fated kiss
That destiny planted on my forehead.

Neither i nor you

You were too good to be true

The heart just knew

All those amorous indulgences

Flying horizons, shattering forbiddance

Somewhere, I just knew

It was only moments 

Before I will have a mighty fall.

Coz, nothing lasts forever

Neither love nor prurience.

Neither I nor you.

Bleeding Heart

How deep a wound can be

How painful can be the process of healing

If I had known

If I had known

I wouldn't have fallen for you 

In the beginning

I will survive

But scarred, will be the memories

If my love and sacrifice 

Couldn't make you realise

Nothing will

Coz you only know the art of slicing the soul.

If I had known

If I had known

Walk Away

It becomes so easy

When you stop reacting to people and situations

When you care not about perceptions

It becomes so easy

When you become heartless

After years of trampled expectations

You see

But others don't

You feel, but others don't empathise

You weep, only to plunge deeper into misery

Others: they have all the time analyze

Ultimately, it becomes easy 

To walk way

That's how solitude becomes your individual company.

It's actually easy

Quite easy, to live for oneself!

Those Chances

One chance, he pleaded
And she kept on giving chances after chances
Till her only chance of continuity
Was to walk away with dignity

Forgive me, he begged
She kept on forgiving till she realised
One day, she won't be able to forgive herself
For risking everything in the process
Only for momentary indulgence

Talk to me once, he requested
She had nothing left
Except granules of glasses
That ripped whatever was left in her.

He had taken it all.
All of her
Such was his carnage

If you

If you had to go
Why did you stay
Sharing moments, making memories
That will stay...

If you had to make it grey
Why did you sketch shades
Of us together... somewhere

If you had to hurt
Why did you infuse love
It still aches...

Perhaps, you had to go
For me to find myself, again.

Those paramours

To all those paramours over there
Who have the prettiest girlfriend and daintiest wife
Yet who wish to immerse in my sinuous waters
Before entering the holy matrimony
Or after coming back from their honeymoon
To quench their thirst
To have a lifetime of experience.

Aren't you gratified with your choices?
What do they lack that I possess?

You all paint the town red
With your facade of love
"My love, my bae
I can't survive without you a single day".

And clandestinely message "my lady, I seek you like none
You are the queen
While others are my taste buds!
You rob my senses with your earthly verses
I desire you like the ebbing soul
Allow me to dip in your profoundness
And prove my prowess"

And when they enter...
Flaccid becomes their existence.

So how do they compensate
By inflicting blinding pain on my flesh.
Why
Coz I am their coveted
Yet concealed mistress.
What a charade!
