Bird's eye view

Run, hide
If they see you
Don't panic, slide
Hide ur beauty
Shield the sorrow
Race to the goal
Let aside worries for tomorrow

Stop if you can
Look around the hustle
The leaves you crushed
They used to rustle

Slow down a second
Smell the flowers
Before you plucked them
For bees, they had enchanted power

Don't run for the shade
Feel the drop
When the skies open
See us dance and hop

Yet you hurry past
Man with his mission
The tv is calling
The wine is falling
No time to stop
No time to see
I am just a peacock
Watching you be

As I sit in my hedge
What could I know
The wonders of the world
That I know as my whole
Is what you are running to see


From the comfort of ur bed
Documentaries about leaves
Shows about drought and rain
Campaigns for saving the planet
Are brainstormed in great detail

Stop dear human
Look around you and see
What you seek
Is what makes me

When I find it all
Near my hedge
Wish you could see it too
Feeling the world on your race towards the bed

side by side

The blanket of life
that god sew
is unraveling
thread by thread

the temple of love
that trust built
is collapsing
step by step

the faith in humanity
that love created
is breaking
tear by tear

the darkness of the night
that sadness brought
is fading
ray by ray

the panic in my heart
that loneliness brought
is subsiding
beat by beat

the hope of tomorrow
that strength has created
is rebuilding
second by second

the will to smile
that life is bringing
is growing
with you by my side

An old poem i found recently :)


A single bond of unspoken words,
So much laughter and oh! so much hurt,
A single star on a cloudy night,
When no one is in sight,
A single leaf on a bare tree,
The only one who lets you be,
A single tear on a smiling face,
The only one who's life yours can't pace,
A single hand in a crowded room,
Who lets you know that this too will pass soon,
A single laugh that fills your heart,
Who mocks your precious piece of art,
A single person who you love so much
That it fill your heart with such...
A single person who you hate too,
So many things you had to do...
A single person who is all this and more,
The one brings your boat safely to the shore,
Your rock, your security blanket, yeah that's her!
You may know her by many names;
but for me she'll always be my doting elder sister...

Missing you is part of everyday

i open my eyes
i catch a glimpse
could it be?
is it you?
if i hold out my hand
will i touch you?
if i smell in the air
will i breathe you?
if i open my eyes
will it be really you?

i want to fall asleep
a place when you and me
we are together
a place where reality
is forever

but the morning calls
the rays so harsh
reality is now
eyes are open
dreams depart
you are a mist
all i can feel is a kiss

goodbye you said
before i slept
hoping the night will swallow
the pain or me
yet here i am
and so is the pain

together we stand
alone i am
you left
i stayed
love was on its way
but it strayed..

I too had a love story..

the little tear rolls down my cheek
you is all my heart seeks
the glow on my face tells a tale
the sweets are not yet dry and stale
the red vermin shines bright and bold
love is hidden in my hearts fold
my shy gaze searches your face
my feets fail to move, my heart beat race

the night is young, and so are we
its me and you, you are me
the years of waiting have finally come to an end
the wounded heart, has begun to mend
i look at us, and i am at peace
god showers happiness, i finally got my piece

my eyes close with dreams of tomorrow
new things to see, sugar from neighbor to borrow
the smiles shine, eyes glitter
the world awaits, i have poured my heart in my sisters letter

i wake up, caress the bed...
i touch where there should be your head
i awake knowing youll come back soon
the in laws are calling, theyll be here by noon
i wait and wait, staring at the door
a screech, a bang, and you are on the floor

Flowers thrown around, you in the midst
i scream i run my eyes mist
helpless i beg for god to forgive
let him be, let me be, let us remain

you look at me and i look at you
we have shared love like have few
you clutch my hand, and my heart breaks
i wish life had retakes

it cant be the end, it hadn't even begun yet
before the sunrise, how can there be sunset?
love had shone once from gods window
but now..one minute a bride, the next, your widow

Aks

Silently I wait
for you to give me a glance
I have waited forever
for this simple chance
you look at me appraising
was it a worthy gamble
as my lips quiver
you wonder am i too much to handle?
you pull back a little
and i hesitate
is this heading to the old dreaded fate?
but somehow you stop
..others havent..
you smile a little smile
put your hands on mine
my eyes lock into yours
and peace prevails in my heart and minds war

the butterflies in my tummy
the mist in my eyes
you look at me with love
you say 'you are mine'

the scars on the face you kiss
the double chin you miss
the patches you dont see
the imperfect nose, may not be
you see what i wanted someone to see
just anyone, anyone who would love me

i say thank you for the gift
you smile
I close my eyes

they come in, the ones who have taunted
i look at them expecting,
their approval i have always wanted
they look past you at me
wondering the reason for my glee
they ask who do i see
i look at you, the mirror
and together we answer
me

forever or less...

the more you try
the more you fail
the more you hide
the more i know
what you say
is just for show
the tears are fake
the smile, just for the sake..
the feelings are gone
you and i
no longer belong

once we were one
now time won
the threads are loose
the glass is broken
the love is gone
memories are the token
we may deny
we may regret
but slowly it seems
i have started to forget
the comfort of the smile
the inside jokes
the hugs that i longed for
too long it took

dont know if you are holding on
or you left too long ago
but now i cant wait
its too late
i need to start with an empty slate
i need to start with an empty slate
i need to start with an empty slate
