Not another love poem.

I guess loving you came naturally

because this is not our first love story.

Back to the same romance.

Life gave me a second chance.

Don't know the reason, why.

Doesn't make sense even if I try.

We have been here before. 

The future holds a lot more.

Even if i wanted, I can't tell, how i do,

but I do know the past of me and you.

I could be living in a delusion.

I have come to love this illusion.

If this is a dream,

I request society to not scream.

I don't want to wake up,

don't need a heads up.

Life isn't always a straight path.

Calculating but they won't get the math.

Let this not make any sense.

Reality can't be seen by our lens.

They try to give it labels.

Compare it with fables.

Calling out the shibboleth.

In a single deep breath.

Let them try, let them fail,

for this ship has set its sails.

They say we're doomed, it can't be

but don't know the chronicles of you and me.

A lover can be a friend.

Someone to stick it out till the end.

We are more than just a bond.

Out of nothing this love has spawned.

You're more addictive than cocaine.

Your absence causes actual physical pain.

If, from your heart, I get displaced.

I will never have my memory erased.

For these feelings give me purpose,

to do more than noting this corpus.

Living life in this circus,

I sometimes think I am Miley Cyrus,

riding on a wrecking ball,

flying before being able to crawl.

I try hard to lay low.

To you, I can't say no.

So now I know that you know.

We only can reap what we sow.

This is no social video game.

My love has no aim.

I want to believe life hasn't taken a toll,

I know most of life is out of control.

Every song I listen to

reminds me of you.

After all that we have been through 

every moment together still feels brand new.

A Warrior's Heart

Starting at the very beginning

seems like a good place to start.

Let me tell you a little secret

I know about a warrior's heart.

Its been stabbed and wounded

this is something we all know.

There are more scars it carries,

on the surface these will never show.

To trust, love and care

is what it does best.

These virtues were self taught,

it hasn't been loved like the rest.

It's good at forgiveness,

and has learnt self-repair.

However, on sensing betrayal 

it quickly retracts.

So, when it moves on

there's no turning back.

Running wild like a river,

always in a state of flow.

Assembling purpose

to intuitively go.

It doesn't have great expectations 

and knows that life isn't always fair.

It has been played with and trampled on

has its origins in the darkness of space,

yet like a big bang in nothingness,

it has power to put a smile on any face.

Can tell a lot of stories,

capable of play and fun.

Always looking for adventure

even if it's dying under the sun.

It can move mountains,

it can stand still.

It doesn't need a metronome,

to do its drill.

It does what it wills,

cannot be forced.

Could be the reason

for its guilts and remorse.

Sometimes it wavers

and falls off its feet.

Then gets up and running

by the very next heart beat.

It knows what it wants

and burns like fire.

It doesn't stop

until it achieves its desire.

Most hearts quit at failure,

this doesn't know, when to.

Every success is a result

of what it has been through.

Extraordinary is a norm

for it rejoices in the mundane.

Experiencing moments by their nature

everything from pleasure to pain.

Always living on the edge

was not a self made choice

but this lifestyle

became its voice.

Fighting countless battles

it became super strong.

It is big, full of life

and can tell right from wrong.

When two roads diverge

it doesn't hesitate to choose its lane.

It knows when to indulge

and when to abstain.

Its real value became

clearer with each stride.

It knows what it's worth,

there is no false pride.

Closing itself from the world,

was never a difficult task.

To find a place in here,

all one has to do, is truly ask.

If another is

its genuine friend.

For this being

it will meet Its end.

Having faced the worst,

it feels no fear

and when it cries,

it doesn't shed a tear.

Sometimes it's stuck  in a loop of feelings,

unlike a bullet from a gun,

Such as a moment in the jump, without a parachute,

from the edge of space into the ocean.

There are times it stops pumping blood.

and pumps lava instead.

It can be hurtful,

with poison, it's been fed.

It does get sad, angry,

jealous and insecure.

One must understand that

the broken need time to cure.

It is not perfect, it's flawed,

it is not unaware, it does know.

It listens to what feels right,

to learn and grow.

Hearts like these are rare

and if you are around one,

beware of your actions

and tread with caution.

On a journey of

infinite lifetimes, you will impart.

When you fall in love with 

a warrior's heart.

Festival of Flowers.

 Today when I saw her.

She looked like a flower.

Oh! How badly I wanted to tell her.

That her beauty has power,

like none other.

In my mind over and over,

I asked myself to stay far from her.

As the evil in me craves possession.

I avoided giving her my appreciation.

I wish I knew how to love better.

Maybe then she would be my lover.

Deep in my heart, I am her well wisher.

And I will remain to be a secret admirer.

I write down my feelings and burn the letter.

Hoping the flame will keep her warm forever.

Shayari by Yours Truly.

Shukr hai uss khuda ka,

Jisne hume iss mukhaam par rakha.

Jaha hazaar gham seh kar bhi,

Yeh dil, Na kabhi haara, Na kabhi thaka.

Lootera hoon main

Pyasa hoon main

Tere is daulath ka

Bhooka hoon main

Jo tere saanson

mein samayi hai

Jo tere aankhon

ne dikhayi hai

Jo tere dhadkan

ne sunayi hai

Jo tere khayalon

ne batayi hai

Lootera hoon main

Pyasa hoon main

Tere is daulath ka

Bhooka hoon main.

Yun hi toh pyar karte karte lagne laga tha

ke insaaniyath se bharosa utt jaayega.

Par yeh aag dil mein faili iss tarha se

ke yeh aashiq to pyar karte karte hi mitt jaayega.

(Saw this one on an auto)

Giravat ki zindagi jiya nahi karte.

Hum kissi ka peecha kiya nahi karte.

Itefaq se ye dil tumpar aaya,

Varna yeh haseen tofa hum kissi ko diya nahi karte.

Apni jaan se bhi zyada chahte tumhe hai hum.

Yeh sirf dilase ke alfaaz nahi,

main jee ke dikha doonga.

Tumne jo dil mein aag lagayi hai sanam.

Khushiyon aur gham se para yeh ehsaas lekar,

main saari duniya jala doonga.
