I wake up to you beside me & wonder if its real

I wonder if u feel the way, when you touch me I feel

Your eyes are closed & there is a smile, I wonder what you are thinking

Then you turn away & hide your face, my heart just starts sinking...

Your smile across the room and glances we caught in between,

Those hidden encounters taking me to places I've known only in my dreams,

The longing I felt in those moments spent apart,

Your voice when you called my name tugged every piece of my heart.

The dreams I had woven, knitting the memories together,

leaving behind the cuts and scars, over the years I had gathered,

It was now my time to be cocooned with a smile,

The butterfly closed her wings tired from the covered miles.

It's now been days since we spoke & laughed together,

I 've forgotten the last time u kissed me or we hugged each other

or the time when I caught you staring & admiring me

holding my hands when there's no one around to see.

Then you walked away, with closed eyes and harsh words,

Crushed my soul cut through it with shards.

Left me standing all alone in the middle of the night,

Made me realize I’m my only savior, my only knight.

The glasshouse now stands shattered,

The heart all bled out and battered

The wounds within me will take time to heal

But the phoenix will rise, never again to kneel.

Gratitude..

Count your prayers, be in gratitude

Said a good friend, to both old and new.

Be in gratitude to what’s broken and what can be mend,

Be in gratitude to what lies above you and for which you need to bend.

What lies above is the truth you need to accept,

What makes you bend, is the path, its imperfect.

Be in gratitude for what you wake and see,

Be in gratitude, this is what its meant to be.

What we have today is more than what we ever gave,

Be in gratitude for that forever not just today.

Try to see the good in people, you surround yourself with,

For they are what you become, they are your kin and kith.

Love back those who love you, learn to love the others too,

Trust the ones who love you, for they are between far and few.

My Darling Appa

My Darling Appa

You are the reason we grew up free,

In a society which will never let a woman be!

You knew always what gave us the strength

To take the leap of faith and cross any length

No boundaries, no questions, no restrictions whatsoever

Just pure love and trust is what made us fly without cover

Your love for travel rubbed off on us too

We love to explore the world just as much as you do

Appa this society isn’t easy on girls, always telling them what to do

If only there were more fathers out there who would love them like you do,

Who would push their daughters to reach for the stars

Teach them to grow stronger and be proud of their scars,

Appa, on this day and every other, we wish you long life and health

Stay young and happy, grow from strength to strength.

4 years of my life written all over these pages
the journey is still present though in traces
my life just keeps surprising me more
just when i struggle to get out
he opens another door...

I was a nomad, wandering around
No haste to settle or get tied down
Life was an adventure & I didn’t want it to end
Just wanted to be free, find out what’s at the next bend
Kidding myself that I was happy to escape
Be free from emotions just hide in the cape
Holding on to everything that ever came my way
Afraid to let go any part of the day
Cos that’s all I had with me to stay
A day a night & yet another day
Then came along a breath of fresh air
In whose eyes I cud without fear stare
In whose arms I cud leave all the care
And the journey just got better from there
The happiness just grew by day
Smile on my face, stayed glued all day
And for every smile u bought on my face
I thanked god for his never ending grace
I thanked him for all the future I cud see then
I prayed for the new life we had just begun
But I guess all my prayers never reached him ever
They probably got lost in this fog forever
Cos we cudnt even touch the happiness long enough to feel
He gave us wounds which would take forever to heal
My aching heart now just doesn’t know where to hide
Just wants to be forever by your side.

There are times when I smile without reason
There are times when I cry too
But the smiles & tears are there for a reason
And for me that reason is u
I accept now that love is special
When you know that it’s true
And as much as I love u
I know u love me too
I know there will be tough times
Times when everything will seem wrong
I pray we find the courage then
To hold on & be strong
Cos I can’t promise u all the happiness
Though with all my heart I’ll try
The only promise I can make now
Is to love u till I die...

How do I explain what’s happening now
How do i express what’s within me
How is it that this feeling just grows?
How is that it grips every bit of me
How every day is now newer than before?
How everyday my heart grows fonder
How is that the more I try to stop the more I can’t?
How is that it’s is difficult to stay away longer
How is that I see u when ur not around
How is that I can feel u too
How is that I miss u every moment
And hope that ur missing me too..

Life is not our mere existence
Life is not just about being here
Life takes more than we can give
Life shows us that we can care
Life is not the million times we fell
Or vengeance burning like hell
Life is love, love is life
Life is to give & with nothing survive
Life calls us every time we turn our back
Life asks us not to lose track
Life says there is much more
Why be in a hurry to reach the shore?
