Poems For You….

Candle In My Heart

As wind batters my body,
Rain drenches my soul,
And night comes faster than ever before,
I sit here with a lighted candle in my heart,
Hoping that you will come back,
From wherever you are,
Even though you are nowhere to be found.

Beyond Love

I have seen you in my dreams,
Way before I saw you first,
And the moment you appeared in my life,
I carved you in my heart,
Even though it took several years for me to complete that puzzle,
I know you are the one that I have been waiting for,
You are beyond love.

Last Breath

All these years, I didn’t show you
The love that I have for you
All these years, I didn’t tell you
That all I want is you,
But when I hear about all the chaos happening everywhere,
All I want is to take my last breath in your hands, and I’m not going anywhere.

Dreams

Nights always come with hope,
Hope to see you again,
As I can reach you through my dreams,
Dreams that take me closer to you.

Reminder

What can I do when all the seasons remind me of you?
When each and every moment feels like a lifetime without you,
When wind whispers your name in my ears,
When the moon reminds me of your face,
What can I do when all the seasons remind me of you?

Peace

While I walk alone with hopeful heart and teary eyes,
I find my peace in the belief that we are under the same sky,
And you gaze at the same moon as I.

Longing

It’s raining outside and it is raining inside,
But there is hope for rainbow, right?
It’s dark outside, and it is dark inside,
But the sun will rise tomorrow, right?
So, unveil those clouds,
And show me your face, my sunshine.

Entwined

A single touch of yours was enough for me to bloom,
To understand the true meaning of love,
And no matter how far you are from me now,
You will always be in my heart,
Because our souls are entwined.

Home

I dream about a place where the sky is blue,
Where there are hills and valleys,
Where shepherds herd their sheep without a fear of wolves,
Where we hold each others hands,
Where we can create a small world,
A place full of love and no hatred around us at all.

Flight

It is hard when we are caught up in the storm,
A wind so powerful that can break us down,
Each drop of rain feels like a pelt with stones,
But as long as I have hope in our love,
I will keep my spirits high,
And I will fly through the eye of the storm.

Talisman

When the cold winds blow, snow falls, and my body can only freeze,
When the torrential rains flood my life giving me uncertainty,
When the dark nights creep into my mind with no moon in sight,
I hold onto my heart,
Because it has your love, my talisman, my sunshine

The Hummingbird

In a golden cage
Little hummingbird
Lived
With clipped wings
And fettered by its owner
Voiceless
Hopeless
Until she saw him
Fluttering around the cage
Trying to break the chains
Sharing the nectar
A beautiful reminder
Of love, hope and life.

Shadows..



Light was her companion,
Shadows her playmates,
Born with a heart of gold,
The kid was always full of hope.
Taking her little fingers out,
She made shapes of butterfly and goat,
Laughing at all her creations,
She never thought that she would face a retaliation.
Growing up she made jokes on all the shadow creatures that she made,
Making stories for her play,
She directed them how to move,
And was proud to write their screenplays.


Situations changed,
The kid grew up to become a fine young woman,
She never remembered her little friends,
And forgot about all the plays that she made for them.
Now,the light she loved became dimmer day by day,
Atlast,to find herself all alone in a dark way,
Scared to death,
She tried to find back her shadow friends.


All in a vain,
Not knowing about the darkness that she was in,
"Where are you all? I'm afraid, please come back", she screamed,
But, things were going to unfold in a way that she never would have thought or could have dreamed.
In darkness, her friends started to show their true colours,
Even her own shadow disappeared leaving her distressed,
All other ones played a different game with her,
This time, they wrote a screenplay for her.

Streetlights….

Do you see me?
Standing on the side,
Without any movements.
May be I'm just a pole,
With a bulb on my head.
With no special traits to attract,
But to just give all the light that I can.
When you struggle in darkness,
To show you the way,to avoid any harm.
So the next time you pass by,
At the very least, can you acknowledge my existence?
Do you see me now?
