Sea and Shore

"Everything in life has a first time! It was the first time in three years - that he yelled! 

The world to me felt topsy-turvy oh what a shocker! I had never seen him lose it, like ever.

For it was the first of many firsts in our relationship"

She loves him; she loves him not.

She is so disturbed; his temper is fuming hot.

His mood swings are tearing her apart -

Evidently hampering her life's peaceful cart.

     Her mind confuses her too much,

     Her positive thoughts blending with a negative touch,

     She is in love, just head over heels!

     Everything else in her mind - just kneels. 

Love is always in the air until,

his temper turns her world just still.

She is broken and her helpless feeling,

makes her the song of a melancholic saying!

     Love is so loud, wounds are just louder!

     The darkness of the pain in the hearts gets heavier.

     Why don't they understand what they are meant for?

     To love and not to hate, like the sea and shore.

True love

"A soul finds its soulmate when its true love is found! 

What is true love? Why is it called so? How can you be sure? are the first few questions asked; answers to these can never truly be explained nor said, but only truly felt. 

'True love' was a myth for me until it was reality! Thoughts clouded my mind with the beauty of true love and so I began to ink..."

What really is love? A mystery? A puzzle?

It's full of life and overdosed with dazzle!

It's mistaken for lust and sometimes for luxury,

Fighting for true love is but sheer bravery!

    Life seems meaningless without this only element,

    Enriched and engraved in every little fragment-

    Every little fragment which completes the only maze;

    The maze called true love that can make any soul daze!

Love is the only invention of the only almighty,

Some call it dangerous while some call it Godly.

What really is true love? Is it for real?

It is as real as life is and anything can be!.

    'Tis a connection that speaks without communication.   

    A devotion truly felt like a patriot of a nation.

    A crazy feeling that makes one alive and equally dead;

    True love is simply divine; neither can be depicted nor said!!!

Class and Sass

"After ages, my little sister and I spent time together, just the two of us. 

Our giggles and silence echoed louder than the wind chimes adding melody to the night. 

We got all nostalgic; reminiscing the good old days and the unforgettable yet embarrassing times. The fights, the silly stuff, the crushes, the bets, the rise and fall of an era, the achievements and everything else under the sun that we shared. 

This day is still so special to me, engraved in my heart and mind"

We sat on the cold bare floor-
gazing at the polished wooden door,
not a single thing had changed between us;
Deciding 'Who should latch the door?' turned to a ruckus!

    Courage out-poured, being the only two souls.
    All the rooms at home seemed like empty bowls.
    We did feel lonely without our folks around -    
    for always, to them our lives were bound.

'Family' on vacation and we chose not to join,
the interests were but two sides of a coin.
The spirit stared at us, for the royal tilt!
with steel and glass goblets above the quilt. 

    Still confused if we really had to,    
    drink to glory until we turn blue!   
    serving it in style, with the best ever sass,    
    she proudly toasted - "Class and Sass!".

Inseparables

"The love shared while being around is definitely worlds apart from being away; 

distance intrudes the bonding. 

Same was the case when he had to travel abroad a couple of times, knowing we 

will miss each other beyond the bounds of imagination.

Distance diminishes a lot of things like the warmth of hugs, the pecks of affection, 

the taste of the kisses, the intensity of craziness... 

All the fun times being around each other will seem so void until he's back. 

No matter what happens, however distant, we share eternal love.”

After the love filled conversation,

I hated my state of confusion.

Why do you have to go away?

You know without you I cannot stay!

    Missing you has now become a part of me,

    I feel so incomplete, letting it be;

    The bond and the togetherness that we share,

    Completes my life, oh so fair!

With you so far, so out of reach,

I miss the evening walks on the beach!

You are the best God made gift I have earned -

A bond made in heaven that cannot be burned.

    It is evident that we are 'the inseparables'-

    It is the best thing in the world, nonetheless

    We are the 'made for each other - forever soul mates',

    In this world of desert sands we are the eternal shades.

Too late!

"Life has its ups and downs... There are times in life that touch the edges or peaks 

testing your threshold... 

Like the saying - 'Sometimes it takes sadness to know happiness, noise to appreciate

 silence and absence to value presence.' 

Just like that, I needed an awakening! With time, learning becomes a habit with 

every painful experience... Lessons that teach your threshold; when it's too late 

and time to let go... "

I knew the world around me changed, it did!

But never even thought that my world ever could!

In my garden of roses I forgot there existed thorns

They were poisonous weeds and I mistook for ferns.

    Controlled myself to throw a smile like I was fine,

    Hid my tears to make sure my eyes did shine,

    Told my heart to forget the scratches it did bear,

    Forced my mind to stop the thoughts it had shared.

In my temple of love I feared to discover demons,

I could feel it all trapped in the suffocating dungeons,

Pain and anxiety peaked my blood pressure,

I fell so deep, impossible to measure.

    Was my last birth full of sins that I had made?

    For being unable to retrieve myself from the darkest of shades?

    Can't you see my bloody tears and hear my sad mourn?

    Too late! into infinite pieces my soul is torn!
