Oh! How I’d wish.. (Part-2)

When the wind caressed me,

I’d wish that your arms embraced me…

When the rain showered on me,

I’d wish to drown in your eyes…

When the sun beamed upon us,

I’d wish to see a shadow,

of us and not mine alone…

When the snow left me shivering,

I’d wish that I could melt in your love…

And, when the autumn leaves shed on us,

I’d wish that I could walk by the lane,

with you in a bridal dress…

I gave up all of me to you,

my wishes to fate,

my expectations to reality,

and all that I’d think of,

in my tiny little fantasy land.

only to enter a world,

a world of reality filled with obstacles;

to end with you and I!

Oh! How I wish I could,

elope to my dreamland,

where I had been assured

a happily-ever-after;

and escape from this chaotic life,

where you and I aren’t assured ;

the thought that makes me all jittery…

I had always wished that,

I’d never need to write,

about us or just you,

because I want you to live in my life,

and not in my poems!

P.S. Well, not everything in life happens the way we want because the main controller of each one of our lives, God, is watching over us, from up there! And, he’d definitely want only the best for us…Keep calm and go with the flow!

“Kol shaye yahdos le sabab” .. (Everything happens for a reason in Arabic)

Oh! How I’d wish.. (Part-1)

Your eyes read words,

that your lips refused to speak

and those I yearned to listen…

Our hearts did beat in sync,

but our silence roared louder!

Amid a crowded room,

I still felt lost,

not because people failed to

bring a smile on my face,

but because of the absence of that one,

who only tried to make my heart smile!

Dressed at my best,

just to strike a conversation with you,

like those you’d have with my colleagues;

but let alone being called a joker,

I realized I’d be the one you never compliment!

Yes! I do not wish you to be,

like the mirror in Snow-white’s story,,

but ever wondered if it’s fair,

to be just like the butter-paper,

when I reflect your emotions

just like a perfect mirror?!

That day, the way you revolted back,

when fingers were pointed towards

your parents, someone that dear to you;

I wished to be the one,

that you’d be possessive after them!

I wished for once, you’d stand for me,

the way you’d do for them,

even though I’d never get a raise

in your chart of life’s priority…

To be continued….

Tick Tock Tik and Adieu…

Four years back,

I was left to explore a vast world,

bound between four humongous walls..

It felt like a prison,

well it had to,

since it wasn’t my home;

the place I spent my entire life!!

Unsurprisingly, I did come

out of my cocoon,

only to stumble upon,

few to laugh with,

few to gather memories,

and few for whom,

I’d definitely let my heart out

and vent out few drops,

that’d trickle down my face,

with no doubt,

that they’d wipe it off for me!!

Just like people tell,

that there’s heaven,

in every single corner of the world,

and it’s for us to find it;

I found my little heaven,

in this earlier mentioned prison too…

Just like people tell,

that heaven’s when you find,

solace in a pair of eyes,

and a heart beating for you,

tolerant to all your versions!!

I did find my heaven too,

but not in just a pair of eyes,

since I was lucky enough to find,

few more pairs of eyes to venture into!!

Yes! When I look back,

I’m glad I was left here;

Four years of memories,

At least three people to spend it with,

Two words to define the moments – ‘College Life‘,

and a heaven I found

out of my cocoon – College!!

Well, long before we drift apart,

let’s sing this once again,

“You can count on me like,

1,2,3… I’ll be there!!”

Yea guys, let’s not count the four,

as the fourth year is too soon to end now;

It’s for us to live the moment,

It’s upon us, whether it ends here at four…

If we can skip the E and let it GO,

Let’s hold hands and skip the U,

and let it go on FOREVER….

So, are we in it?! 😉

P.S. To all final yearites. Wish you all the good luck for your future! Cherish these Happy Days, before it’s long gone…. Cheers!

An incomplete story..

I pushed you quite far,

far away from me;

yet you live in my dreams..

Not that quite often as before,

but like the monsoon rain,

that shower these days..

We promised that we wouldn’t,

show up again,

as we bid farewell,

the last time we met;

but then I realized that,

actions do speak louder than words

’cause it seems like,

we show up in each other’s memories..

I don’t regret all those,

memorable moments that you gave me;

all I regret is my choice,

to live and die in your arms;

my decision to let you,

be the reason behind my,

tears of happiness and the,

cause of the scariest chaos;

the chaos in my once peaceful soul!

You were the rose in my paradise,

that left pleasant memories,

just like it’s fragrance,

and also like the thorns,

that left scars on those memories,

as we approached the deadline;

the deadline to our ‘happily-ever-after’ story..

I chase you in my dreams,

then, now and forever;

but now as I open my eyes,

I wake up to reality;

A reality where,

“We” live in the pics of my photo gallery,

and what is left is just “You” and “I“..

We proved to be cowards,

in the battlefield of love,

where neither distance,

nor religion separated us;

but the four letter words,

‘Love’ and ‘Fear’ got interchanged;

the fear to hold hands together,

as we scripted a beautiful saga,

to carry with us to heaven..

You are just one call away,

and so is the DEL button,

but my heart skips a beat,

every time I hear your name,

when I haven’t seen you in so long..

At that I wonder,

have I really moved on?!

And my heart just flashes,

a pale smile..

Some Say..

Some say, Love’s a crazy feeling,
where you lose all your other senses..
But what if you are ready,
to set fire to your senses
for that one crazy soul?!

Some say, Love’s a beautiful feeling,
where you don’t have to get it right,
like Romeo & Juliet..
But be like that,
Grandpa & Grandma who spent,
amazing times together,
ignoring each others flaws;
laughing their hearts out,
through those teethless gums..

Some say Love’s gonna tear us apart,
in such a way that,
you feel lost without your better half..
Ain’t that true?!
But shouldn’t you be there,
for yourself always,
because you die alone eventually?

Some say Love’s a funny feeling,
where you don’t know,
what happens to you..
Your tummy turns into a kaleidoscope,
you see them everywhere;
But don’t you think,
you do need to add an,
eenie meenie pinch of fun factor,
to make your life intersting;
and for sure ,
someone to look & smile at?!

Some say Love’s gonna kill you,
where only the sincere one gets,
stabbed to death!
But, can you deny the fact that,
once born you have to die?
You got no option buddy,
go ahead, explore and love fearless;
or else you’re just gonna,
die a little, every single day..

Some say Love’s a special feeling,
where two souls become one,
YOU and I becomes WE,
and hell turns into paradise;
just ’cause of that one promise,
a promise to be together,
let it be then, now or forever..
But, never forget that,
your story is written,
in a unique and special way..

Some say Love’s all about trial and error,
where it ain’t necessary to get it right,
at the first shot itself..
But ever wondered,
if you lost your faith in love,
just ’cause of that one wrong person,
you are just,
just one step behind in,
findng your soulmate,
and they are still alone in this world,
waiting for you?!

Some say Love’s scary,
where you’ll be scared of dejection,
scared of losing your partner,
or scared to hear a ‘Goodbye’ from them..
But isn’t it more scarier,
scarier to know that,
these things in your mind,
are gonna taunt you 24/7,
’cause you know obviously,
Mind can be the worst Enemy at times?!
So, go out there and express yourself,
it may or may not happen,
why not give it a try?!
Waiting can hurt,
but what’s more painful,
is to forget somone,
someone you love!

Some say, some say,
Oh hold on!
What does it matter,
what those ‘some’ say?!
What matters is what,
your heart says,
your mind says,
and that’s what exactly counts!

Don’t you wanna experience,
those sweet and lovely moments,
with that perfect person?!
Don’t you wanna complete yourself,
with your better half?!
No one’s in a hurry alright!?
Just be patient and wait for the right one,
’cause you can’t rewrite the story;
the amazing ‘HAPPILY EVER AFTER’ story,
God has written for you;
But definitely add your bit of touch to it..

P.S. It’s not gonna be like any other love stories, because you are unique and God has added a unique touch to your story too..
A kid once asked God, “If you have written my story, why should I take any efforts? I’ll just go with the flow”, to which He replied that, ” You shouldn’t just sit back and watch.. It’s probably cause at few places, I have written ‘As you wish’ ” …
