Poet Introduction
I'm a poet, by accident...Have found no other way to express what I feel in various situations, and so want to retain that feeling forever for remembrance in the form of poetry.

Peaceful Separation
Days when we met on the rotten paths of life
Are gone; when we chose to walk a mile.
When we walked hand in hand;
And exchanged those friendship bands.
When I felt safe in your arms;
Never bothered by any alarm.
When you spent hours and hours;
Talking of cricket match and racing cars.
Days when we left the crafty world behind
Are gone; when we sneaked out feigning them blind.
When we heard their doltish talk;
And laughed as they walked.
When I looked in your eyes;
To pick the colors of life.
When you adjusted your twisted curls;...

Thought and Action
"I wish I had said this instead of that!"
If we'd known the outcome of our actions and statements, before their actual meeting, then we'd never have been sad and repenting. But if we'd known it beforehand, we'd have never been able to judge what is wrong and what is right.

Now and Then - You and Me
Tried to achieve what was already taken,
Mending things that were desperately broken.
Wanted to defeat loneliness with communion,
Realised soon; they were happy without this union.
Entered a room having no exit door,
Repenting on the decision- why I desired more.
The distance increased with every next step,
Listened to lies, ignoring truths like a deaf.
Mistakes, mistakes- roads to wisdom,
A broken path- when willingly forwent freedom.
A whole new world was made clear;
Made of stone, caged within a mirror.
Found You, losing myself in Me;...

Change in Needs
How strange a feeling is that some people get when-
They are perfectly happy without the 'thing' which once they thought they needed the most.
And how terrible a feeling is when-
One becomes that 'thing' in others' life, and is no longer needed!
They are perfectly happy without the 'thing' which once they thought they needed the most.

The Girl is a Fool
How silly could it be to stick up with them who mock at her true devotion
Sure, the girl is a fool.
How dumb is she that follows him, waits for him, when every time he runs away
Sure, the girl is a fool.
The girl is a human
Not a beast
Not a 'bitch'
The world calls her immature
Humanity is immature
Maturity is bestial
The girl is a fool
A foolish human
It'll take time to get turned into a beast
To push him away
To tell him that he's wrong
To not to say sorry when she's not
To move on
Until...

Just a Thought
When after a fight we tell him/her, "I don't need you;" that signifies our own frailty in loving them truly. Since love is not 'conditioned' by 'needs.'

Self-realisation
There are only two things to which I'm answerable for my deeds and actions- my inner soul and my God.
These two help me to improve at every next step.
No friend.
No relation.
No love;
but, at least I'll win my SELF at the end,
that sometimes tries to defeat me.

TheStormofDevastation
The storm of devastation struggled within me.
It wanted to burst out like heavy rain, but I suppressed it.
The storm of hatred of myself;
Of the pain that I gave you;
Of the guilt, that I hurt you.
There's a fire within my heart.
I'll burn in repentance for making you hurt. ...

Just Close Your Eyes
Just close your eyes and start dreaming
‘Cause sometimes clear visions are rather blind.
Shadows are forms more real than any real being
They lead you to such truth that even light cannot find.
Illusory the scene might be;
It can dig out the deep-rooted seed.
Dreamy the view you may call;
Who knows, the play might end before the curtain-fall.
The end does not lie in the conclusion;
The close is in the truth's origin.
The past is in the present, the present is in the past;
No one knows where this cycle lasts.

Why?
Why do I want your name on the top of the recently used category in my message box?
Why am I galvanized by your name displayed on my cellphone calling?
Why have I put the wrapper of the chocolate that you gave me in my piggy bank?
Why am I so enthusiastic about meeting you anyhow?
Why do I just wanna see your face all day long?
Why have I saved your voice recording in my cellphone and listen to it every night?
Why did we meet?
Why are we still separate?
Why there's still something more?
Why do I want nothing more?
Why can't we remain like this forever?...

Sorry?
sorry that I'm girlish
sorry that I mess up everything
sorry that I'm a burden on this earth
sorry that I don't care about my surrounding
sorry that I cried
sorry that I'm watching P. S. I Love You right now
sorry that I try hard to take your ills and make you feel happy somehow
sorry that I can't hide my truths
sorry that I still manage to hide some of them
sorry that I'm speaking absurd things right now
sorry that I'm what I am
sorry that I won't change
sorry that I'm a hateful object
sorry that I'm not sorry
sorry that I mess up everything
sorry that I'm a burden on this earth
sorry that I don't care about my surrounding
sorry that I cried
sorry that I'm watching P. S. I Love You right now
sorry that I try hard to take your ills and make you feel happy somehow
sorry that I can't hide my truths
sorry that I still manage to hide some of them
sorry that I'm speaking absurd things right now
sorry that I'm what I am

sorry that I'm a hateful object
sorry that I'm not sorry

Failed Love
Headphone's in my ear,
Playing the song most dear,
But it's not enough.
I tried to lose you within those musical rings,
To replace you with a million things.
But, reason fails with a failed love.
Playing the song most dear,
But it's not enough.
I tried to lose you within those musical rings,
To replace you with a million things.
But, reason fails with a failed love.
