Numbers!

Ten seconds of fear,
Before you take the stage,
Sixty seconds you take to hear,
And efface my rage,

Nineteen notifications on your facebook wall,
And each one speaks of you,
All I have had is just two brawls,
And I was hated by all the ex’s you still knew,

Two minutes of doubt,
When you think of calling me,
Five minutes you take to shout,
When I am nowhere to see,

Hundred grams of chocolate,
You eat to calm yourself down,
Three times if I am late,
I inadvertently make you frown,

Seven times I forgot your brother’s name,
And you said I didn’t care about you at all,
Gifted you a seven and half inch photo frame,
And all the anger became a bit small,

Eight am I had to wake you,
I would be your alarm all the time,
Ten am our rendezvous was due,
Waiting for you I lived my prime,

Two years for which I was with you,
Was a journey of its kind,
One and a half without you,
Have turned my life so blind,

Sixty miles an hour,
And you held me so firm,
Six shots of tequila,
And we got a bit dumb,

Four movies we ever watched together,
In each one I held your hand,
Three dates were cancelled due to the weather,
And we were far apart, both in a different land,

Twenty carats of gold,
Will make you smile,
One diamond in its hold,
Will go a longer mile,

Once again you are confused,
I have no clue about it though,
For the Nth time you are scared,
And the feeling is all set to grow,

Give me one hint,
If you want me to take you through,
Give me just one hint,
And I would get you through,

For love there are no measures,
Even if everything else could be,
They are nothing but numbers,
Nothing counts as much as your love for me…

Love One Love All,

I still hope ...

I still hope,
That you will stick by,
I still hope,
That you will stand by,

As you have done,
Through thick and thin,
As you have done,
Angel you have been,

I still wait,
That you’ll ask what’s wrong,
I still wait,
For you to join me, sing our song,

As you have given,
Me so many reasons to smile,
As you have given,
Love to me, all this while,

I still ask you questions,
Hoping you wouldn’t mind me asking,
I still ask you questions,
And tell you how I feel, without hiding,

But I feel you are letting go,
Of me and my side,
But I feel you are letting go,
And I have nowhere to hide,

I can’t see you going away,
Coz I never thought you would,
I can’t see you going away,
I loved you as much as I could,

But you were not mine I knew,
As you held someone else in your heart,
But you were not mine I knew,
I was just ferrying you around in life’s cart,

I still hope,
That I’ll see you again,
I still hope,
All this doesn’t go in vain,

And I will always hold you close,
To my heart and my soul,
And I will always hold you close,
As you are indeed my soul…

Love One Love All

yun hi kuch likdh diya tha arso pehle, aaj phir pad ke ehsaas jaag uthe...

Kyu kisi k intezaar me,
Har lamha jine ko man karta hai,
Kyu kisi k pyaar me,
Khud ko bhula jaane ko man karta hai,

Kyu kisi k liye,
Sab kuch bhula dete hai hum,
Kyu mere liye,
Kuch bhula nahi sakte tum,

K kyu main yu chahu,
Aur kya main keh jaaun,
K kya tum ab chaho,
Kya main kar jauun,

Baat ab ye nahi,
K tum mujse pyaar nahi karte,
Baat ab ye bhi nahi,
K tum mera intezaar nahi karte,

Baat ab ye hai ki,
hum chah kar bhi nahi milte,
baat ye hai ki,
alag ho gaye hai humare raste,

k ab kya hai kar sakte,
k shayad bahut dur hum nikal aaye hai,
k ab kya tumhare bina hai hum ji sakte,
ya hum tumhare hi ho gaye hai,

par tumhari tamanaon me hum shaamil nahi,
shayad tumhe khush rakh pane k hum kaabil nahi,
k shayad humari koi bhi koshish mukamal nahi,
k shaayd is samundar ka koi saahil nahi,

ab to yahi darkhwast hai tumse,
k mujhe dur na karo mujhi se,
k aaj main ye puchne pe majbur hu khudse,
k aisi bhi kya khaata hui mujhi se…

I don't know how to get you back...

one day i saw you,
another i didn't,
and before i knew,
i just couldn't,

probably i shouldn't have said goodbye,
maybe i was just looking for a reason to fight,
maybe i was too dumb not to try,
and let you go off my sight,

i know i had issues,
but so did you,
but you were my only muse,
pure as the morning dew,

i no more seek any answer,
i have let go off many things,
i have dropped my armour,
have cut my wings,

i know i shouldn't miss you,
i know i shouldn't go back on my words,
but i no more have any clue,
my mind is like the flocking birds,

and as i see you passing away,
i just want to feel the innocence again,
that i saw when you did play,
on the swings, though a bit inane,

i don’t know if i should,
but i don’t want to give up,
i have done all i could,
and there have been many a hiccup,

but i kept moving,
as i had said i will,
but times have been testing,
not the same old run of the mill,

I just want to try again,
so that we can remember each other with a smile,
i don’t want our relationship to go in vain,
because it was more than just a while,

i know it is difficult for you to trust,
but you know that i can adapt,
our memoirs may have caught rust,
but some have been well kept,

i don’t want much,
just the chance to cherish my past,
i don’t hope much,
but i believe these things would last,

so please give it a thought,
not litter the beautiful times,
the happiness they brought,
are much purer than our crimes...


LOVE ONE LOVE ALL

Random thoughts of an idle mind...

I cry out loud,
Each day and night,
M crazy without a doubt,
My minds in a fight,

I rock n roll,
Each morning I get up,
I rise and fall,
Still my heartbeats drop,

I laze around,
And the dates change,
Thoughts do hound,
They are just out of my range,

I save my pain,
For times unknown,
Joy goes in vain,
Memoirs to mourn,

How much it aches,
Throughout my soul,
As my hurt wakes,
To a big dark mole,

They call me names,
Hide my existence,
Abuses and shames,
Bounded by a fence,

They want to teach,
How they wanted to be,
Just to preach,
And for the world to see,

They say it’s relevant,
For my growth,
It sounds important,
A stain on the cloth,

That I wear,
When they are with me,
Time to spare,
But they take away my glee,

Just follow orders,
Just be a dummy,
And that’s what bothers,
Hang around like a sissy,

Oh dear, I am lost,
Yes I am indeed,
Befriending a ghost,
Feeding my greed,

I have never been here before,
Never had a chance to dance,
I want to be wild to the core,
Not just give it a sideward glance,

No more want to be perfect,
Just to be loved,
It’s ok being circumspect,
Till I am loved,

I want to sing,
To the tune that plays,
Just do my thing,
Whatever my mind says,

There was such a time,
When I was funny,
But it has been a change of clime,
My days are no more sunny,

No reason to worry,
Just want to get over it,
Oh yeah, I am in a hurry,
And my eyes are lit,

Coz’ I see what is beyond,
Beyond the idiosyncrasies of me,
Of myself m fond,
And that does bring some glee,

So put on your ear plugs,
Coz m gonna shout,
Get lost you thugs,
Coz from now on I’ll be loud…

It’s one of those days...

It’s one of those days,
When I just wanna close my eyes and think of you

It’s one of those days,
When I don’t mind getting barked at by your dog,

It’s one of those days,
When I don’t wanna to rush through the breakfast to beat the traffic,

It’s one of those days,
When I don’t wanna to shout at some for not driving well enough,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna keep driving when I have to drop you somewhere on the way to office,

It’s one of those days,
When I don’t wanna take any calls on the way and just listen to you,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna kiss your forehead before you leave my sight for the day,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna run madly in the office corridor,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna take the day off and drop by each of my college buddies,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna take them out and talk of the fun times we had together,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna fight to pay the bill at the restaurant,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna go shopping on the street and bargain just to show off,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna jump in the puddle of water just to make you smile,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna climb on to the mango tree and look what’s happening in the neighbor’s house,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna grab a cycle and circle the whole playground,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna get wet in the rain and let the cold air shake me,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna take a dip into the lake and swim as you watch me from the deck,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna have u sleep on my lap while I read out my poems to you,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna spin round and round till I am dizzy enough to fall down,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna dance on the streets and laugh back at the people who laugh at me,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna sing out loud till someone shouts at me to shut up,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna watch back to back movies and still go for more,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna dress up just to go for a walk,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna cook for my family and have dinner with the TV switched off,

It’s one of those days,
When I wanna call you at the night and not worry about saying Good Night,

It’s one of the days,
That I wanna live and not just dream about,

It’s one of those days,
When I don’t just want to let it be but do all that I desire
