Of Solitude and Camaraderie

Why mustn't I be only and lonesome?

When you – my dear beloved – are miles away

What about those days we spent in the vicinity of each other’s smiles and words

Those which never dulled out for you were present, alongside

Striving for spending yet another day and yet another hour

Where are the lunches and dinners we used to prepare?

While you saved the very last bite to kiss my lips, always

This distance, growing in abundance and, seeming infinite

Is equally prosaic as it is appalling

More of the latter and less of the former but certainly a blend

Why must I be only and lonesome?

When you – my dear beloved – are just steps away

Struggling your way through jobs, untouched and people, unnoticed

And guiding upon me as my Guardian Angel, the one they call ‘Michael’

As the week comes to a close, my eyes, once again, shine

For it will bring You, along with

To paint my days with yet another hue and yet another colour

And embellish my nights with matchless care and immaculate passion

The distance, ceasing to end and, seeming in disguise
No longer prevails.

Tune into Ed Shareen 'Thinking Out Loud' already. 

This. Man. Is. Love.

You are the one behind my sleepless nights and dreamy days;

A true gentlemen with unmatched demeanour,

So new yet so familiar, so dramatic yet so plain,

With you, every day is a memory and every memory a fond one.

Meant To Be

He lifted me in the air

With his hands on my waist

And mine on his shoulders

Those mighty strong shoulders

That also held my head

While movies

And

During endless hours of sleep

And 

Other emotions, alike.

The way he looked me in the eye

We knew it was meant to be

Forever and always, in grief and glee

When he smiled at my smile

I couldn't resist but cry

With a deeply filled heart and pounding sigh

Those watery eyes did the talking

For words fell short.

Past few days, dipped in pain

So much pain and so much thought

Brought us together and tore us apart

Or do we just grew out stronger without knowing

Secretly praying for a moment like this

The great proverb proved right yet again

You remember what they say-

-'What's meant to be will always find its way'. 

P.S. Tune into All of Me by John Legend along with!

Of the little things you do!

When you see me doing those puzzling calculations and secretly smile at my funny interpretations

The world becomes a better place yet again.

When you fight with me for not letting you speak and I still blabber words, over and repeat

The world becomes a better place yet again.

When you take our pictures, O’ those endless clicks and those craziest gestures

The world becomes a better place yet again.

And when you stay awake at night, sing lullabies to make me fall asleep so right 

The world becomes a better place yet again.

And when you slide me in your arms and play with those freckles on my palms

The world becomes a better place yet again.

And when you hold me near and whisper those priceless words I long to hear

The world becomes a better place yet again!

Of times when I put on my Love-Guru uniform.

A hate message here and a sad poem there. The world, or may be the whole universe, is running away from this sacred emotion with the speed of light. It tears me off to see status updates like, 'Love doesn't exist', 'Screw you Mr. beloved', 'Who cares, f**k love', 'My friend is in love, poor soul, God bless' so on and so forth. Thanks to the movies Pyar ka punchnama, shaadi ke side effects, etc for adding in that extra seasoning. 

True that times have changed and it's not easy to find someone you can rely on blindly. True that the cases of infidelity and divorce are sky high. And sometimes things get messy even in the most perfect relationships.
But why do we blame the stupid cupid for all the worries?
Why can't we just give it one more chance? What if it works out this time? What if this person makes you forget about every other idiot you met but didn't deserve? What if he/she is actually the one? 

Being in love is like touching heaven while alive. Like butterflies in your belly dawn to sunset. A web so divinely intertwined with the strings of eternal purity. The feel of a dreamy star bed or enchanting purple lilacs. It's an incredibly beautiful state like no other. 

This little post is for every single soul out there who thinks love is not meant for him/her. If you already have someone, thank him for everything he/she has ever done for you. Cherish your bond and be honest to each other, irrespective of the infinite differences. And those of you still searching, believe that love's not biased or dwelling exclusively in the riches, it is bound to fill the void in your heart someday. It definitely will follow you in the dark and take you home. Hold onto trust, you strong creature, live it up and live it full. 

Tune into Regina Spektor 'Fidelity'. Thank me later ! 

Who wants stars, I have you!

A feeling, one in a million, irreplaceable

Sheer calmness and tranquility afloat within him

Sending shivers down my spine, ineffable

Make it last forever, neither alter nor trim

He consumes me more than he’s aware of

Paves an easier more happier life

So beautiful and innocent, O’ dear Lord

The Man I dream of becoming Wife

P.S.: Dedicated to someone very special. I don't know but Romanticism is my thing and I'm not gonna get enough, not now not ever. I enjoy it to the core. BTW, how is everyone doing here? :)

Like a Rose

A cyclone swirls inside her aching heart. Constantly she trembles with fear and anxiousness. Sweating in the middle of chilly winter night clenching the blue bedsheet in her petite palms. Circling around her circular couch for 30 long minutes. The captivating TV series is taking a toll on her. At last, she choose to pull a text.

"Give me two minutes, Ill reply back", her attention on the screen.
"I'll be waiting", he said, dying to talk to her.
After an hour and half, jumping out of the bed in immense shock, she dials his number.
"I'm so sorry. Got stuck with this thrilling series, you should watch this. Awfully grasping".
"I'm fine. Take as much time as you want. I think you should stick onto it and forget the talk or even better, do one thing - just SLEEP", he feels taken for granted. It's not the first time she do such a thing.
Metal Cuff-lings? Xbox? iShower? Coffee Machine? Bean Bag?, scrolling down the flurry list of online shopping things to choose from, she thinks of apologizing in a gift-way.
"What do you like the most - Parties, Gaming, lazing around, having coffee, or simply being in water all day?", she tries to act smart and seeks for a helpful answer.
"I like your thrilling TV series more".
"Tell me no".
"If you gifting me, don't waste money. I'll ask if I'd need anything".
"No way, I'm just increasing my knowledge you know. Not gifting or something. Not even thinking about it. Not even on any online shopping website now. Not even biting my nails. Oh please".
"Get back to work. We are good. I'm not angry".
"I screwed it up. Yesterday I did it again and I want to make up somehow. What should I do? Now was planning a surprise and you caught me. God, I'm hopeless".
"You surprise me every single moment. When you try to plan a surprise, you surprise me. When you blabber out all the secrets while asking questions, you surprise me. When you show care and love even more than my mom, you surprise me. When you talk about subjects pertaining to national interests with zero GK, you surprise me. When you help me with microwave notes, you surprise me. When you show up at my place without prior notifications, you surprise me. When you treat me with box full of my favorite chocolates, you surprise me. When you take a stand on my behalf and not just play around, you surprise me. When I wake up to your adorable WhatsApp texts, you surprise me. When you doze off while talking late night on phone, you surprise me. When you finish off the KFC bucket alone while pretending not to be hungry, you surprise me. When you come out of shower feeling cold and ask me instead to wear jacket, you surprise me. When I wish to run away with you and live on our own, you surprise me. When I think of you as my wife and not girlfriend, you surprise me".

"Crap. You're making me blush so bad I can donate liters of blood in one go".
"You're my sunshine. Last night, I never yelled intentionally. It was just.. "
"Sshh, I know. My fault".
"Drop it now. I don't want to fight".
"Neither do I. Let's grab some lunch together".
"FOOD. What else do you talk about usually?"
"Shut up it's 2. Lunch time. What?"
"Ha ha, Dab some gloss and make your hair. Will pick you in five minutes".

And then they go on a date and eat all the stuff up and get obese and still make nah nothing. I'm making this last line up.
Anyway, you must be wondering, what's with me writing dialogues now-a-days. Not wondering? I am intending to tell you, don't you get it? Well, I enjoy dialogue so much, I don't even have to think and take stress before penning them. Nice no. Gimme feedback okay?
Love!

Count Me In

Anger.

It happens with everyone

You are no different

Just incredibly hurt maybe. 

Truth.

We all seek,

Not even a thousand lies make up

Not even the words not even music 

When its all said and done, there is no way to un-do.

Regret.

They say it's of no use

Then why it was discovered in the first place

It takes you on a trip to the past making you see the voids unclouded.

Ego.

It doesn't spell s-e-l-f r-e-s-p-e-c-t

Like a termite it eats you up

Block your thought process and make you question every other soul.

Compassion.

One of the rarest and most precious feelings

Never let go if you find such a hand 

It's angelic, inspiring and beatific too, makes you a little better.

Love.

Like meeting someone who knew even the dustiest corners of your messed-up being

More of a naked truth, like the Saint-Gobain glass

Ineffably awesome but equally difficult and hurtful

It's more like once you're bitten, y'll never wanna be the same again!

'Cuz I'm her Bro!

Naive and small not am I,

There's my sister, pure and shy,

I'm gonna be by her side forever till I die,

Dare you touch her, will rip you apart without a blink of an eye.

Btw, I'm doped with this song for now, thanks to my cutie ;)

Come what may!

"Damn this work", she yelled silently to herself. It wasn't the job, not even the stress, something deeper was bothering her since long.
The mere thought of being left alone is gloomy. Dissected and secluded, worse.
"What should I do to get things back in place", she pondered.
Her work took a toll over their personal life, eating up all the time meant for the two.
All he ever wanted from his little girl was a portion of her time. It was enough to drive him throughout the day, enough to make him dance in the rain singing love songs.
Vulnerable she felt for she failed to strike a balance. Neither could she walk away from the job, nor could she see him suffering.
"Look at you, love. You've become so weak. Those dark patches below your angel eyes are a proof of the amount of hard work you're putting in. I understand you can't let this go but...". He became silent, resisting the urge to complete the mighty sentence.
'Twas an intense moment. They were video chatting on Skype. Seeing each other after almost a month and a half.
"But? What is it? Tell me please", she was curious and scared.
Being well aware of her stubborn nature, he gathered courage and continued.
"But... it's not the same as before. You struggle to take out time, over burdening your tiny self to please me. I keep waiting at this end of the world for that one sweet text or call. My cocoon which breathed in your fragrance turned into an envelope of nothingness. Smothered I feel thinking about the good old times". He paused for breath.
"Parting away would help. Build up yourself again. Concentrate on the work. Stop worrying about me. I love you and I promise to be there whenever you need me but for now, take a break and pamper yourself. I don't want you to grow up so early, remain a kid, hop around. Your happiness is my priority and I can do anything to get that cheerful smile back. When you'll sink in this complicated work life balance, we will resume everything", he waited impatiently for her reaction.
"But..baby.. I..I..can't.. let.. you.. go.. like.. that", she went numb.
The word 'Break up' tore her apart. It wasn't even close to the last thing she could think of. It was more of a nightmare and she wanted to wake up. Then and there.
"Let's plan things. I will manage time, regardless of the work and you try to keep yourself occupied", she tried to calm him down.
"I know you. You will look for excuses to talk to me and have to work on the weekends in return", his voice, trembled a little this time.
"I will take care of the pros and cons. Please don't go. I will never hurt you, promise", a tear rolled down her eyes.
"Sweetheart, it's not about me. It's about you. You have so much to look after already, I am just an unwanted treat", he misunderstood how she valued him.
"You have no idea what you mean to me. I won't be able to do anything in your absence", she pleaded.
Phone disconnected.
Watching him drifting away choked her to death. Drowning her deep below the surface.
"Packing bags and flying away to his land would serve the purpose for sure", she wondered in anticipation.

"So, you coming to pick me up, right", she loved to surprise him.
"Pick you up? From where? What do you mean, Hon", he felt strange.
"You know I'm bad with directions. In February when I came, you were there. Come now also", she giggled with joy.
"B..a..b..y.. where are you?", he felt a sudden blood rush.
"Umm, I guess, around 100 meters from your place", she danced to the tune of her heartbeat.
"What! Swear on me", he was happy as never before.
How times change. Previously, who used to wake up next to each other, now longed for one brief glance. It was their moment. One they waited for so long.
"You came all the way here just to save our relation", he was touched to the core.
"No silly, to shop", they held back tears.
"Will you hug me now, we can yap yap later", she had always been this crazy.

Relationships, one thing that superimposed all the grey areas of her life, filling in light and hope, cheering her up even in the darkest times.
To him, she was everything. Even more.

What we are made of!

I know things have changed and we're not the same,

But, we can build this up again.

I know you never wanted to lemme go, 

And neither do I, 

But, we will make this pass by. 

I lied when I said, 

I don't miss you much, And I don't love you much, 

How can I even feel that way love.

We've been together, right from eleventh,

Our birthdays and the anniversary,

We used to create 'em.

It's some thing we are made up of,

Something our heart beats for,

Something

We don't have to go an extra mile for.

Baby, I know this is hard,

But we've seen it all,

We rose and we fall, 

But We were 'US' through it all.

Have an amazing one, mate.

Smitten !!

Befitting like the wind,

Replenishing my soul

Is this all I ever wanted

Or there is still some more

I wish I could lay on you 

Feel those blameless raindrops 

Falling on your heart robbing face

Slowly, silently, it strolls

Leaving me amazed

By their unmatched sweetness

Shinning on your sinful skin

Like a ray of hope

Capturing this moment in my eyes

My gaze, not broken, right there

Let's fly away somewhere not known

Spend our lives together 

Forever on our own! 

Check out "Why don't You and I" by "Carlos Santana and Chad Kroeger".
Have a loving one, mates! 

Welcome Life With Open Arms!! :)

If this is how 'twaz supposed to be,
Why is it so hard to believe,

A bittersweet desirous tendency,

Left by some obnoxious melancholy,

Never to close to disclose apart,
Neither too far to let go from heart,

I thought 'twas meant to be,
always and for eternity,
Longing to feel alive once again,

Waiting to know who's holding my hand,

An avidity for things to fall back in place,
Left with no single escape,

Tell me what's there on that mind of your's,

Is it still me or just another score,

Are you still clinging to the past, my alter ego, 

Or merely knitting well the bruised and the tore,

Isolate your self from the world for a talk,

You ain't no less, discover your shinning spark,

Soon the pain will vaporize and leave no mark,
As they say, "THERE'S ALWAYS A LIGHT AFTER DARK"

Holdin' on so tight to the moment that is gone,
Make room for this new one, let it take on,

You know in that shy heart you wanna explore,

Do it now baby, it's your time for sure,

Splendid ecstasies of beauty and that flawless mind,

Behind an invisible mask they always find ways to hide,

Endless desires and infinite hopes on high tides,

Now is the time for all of 'em to ignite,

A unique amalgamation of low's and high's,

This is exactly the replica of what we dearly call 'Life',
Lock those memories and throw away the key in the skies,
For they never come without a rock solid price,

Not to be taken so seriously, a blissful lil instant of surprise,

Live it, love it and simply laugh away what's not right!

Love!!

Sitting at home, almost indolent, with no prioritized work.. brings along the same laid back feeling in its own new personification.
At this very moment, I feel Love!

Love..
Connecting the people, bringing them closer, filling up their lives with even more colors and surprises.

Unbounded by the circumference of soul-mates, encompassing every single cell breathing on this planet

The basic element of one's being.
The sole reason of existence.
The most sought after delicacy.
Evenly kind and generous.
An unconditional gratitude.
A selfless gesture.
A journey so profound and meaningful.
An eternity of spine-tickling instants.
A key ensuring everything's possible.
A feeling inhibiting itself in a flash of second resting for generations to come.
Not bearing revenge, but compassion.
Pure and angelic.
A reason binding even the most brutal of the species.
and
A moment that lasts forever..!!
