MY BEST FIGHT!

I look at you from across the room
A smile covers your eyes of gloom.
I wonder who would hurt your heart
Who would ever leave your love and part?
I know that I am no one to judge your past
But my heart is falling for you, so fast.

I try to help myself and look away,
So that someone else may find me and make my heart sway.
But you look at me, with a smile caressing your lips
And I feel drawn to you, and my heart slowly gives.
I let the feeling flow into my veins,
And hope that it will not leave me insane.

Oh why do we need to follow rules?
If all it does is leave us blue.
A friend takes my hand and asks me to dance,
Should I be happy or sad or elated at this chance?
I try to smile back at you and leave,
Though my feet walk away, my chest heaves.

I search your eyes for an answer,
But your eyes give nothing away.
My heart cries out to you,
You then look away, the thing you always do.
Can’t we just unleash the feelings we have?
Or are we scared that we may drift apart?
I will wait, till you feel the same way too,
Wait till you see it in my eyes, the feelings I have for you.

Things go wrong all the time,
The heart becomes cold and out of rhyme.
But I’ll wait till the tune is right,
For you, I’ll fight my best fight!

Two back to back poems!.
I should say I liked the 'Sacrifice' better!
But it doesn't mean this is bad, but I read 'Sacrifice' first, which gave a deep jolt to my heart, this one felt like a meek push!

Good Work!
Waiting for more!

Pavan,

thank you for your comments. I wrote this one before Sacrifice! And these two poems are diff senarios. Though both of them are on love, the imp thing is that one talks abt fighting for what is hers and the other lets go, and waits endlessly!

Love,
TJ

It Happens Only Once?

I have touched love, tasted it, felt it, sensed it, and felt alive with it! Love has done the same to me too. Its funny, I have had many people ask me, what is Love? How do you know that it is Love? I wish I could tell them, there is nothing else, but Love! But then I know they would look at me with a weird look in their eyes which says, I have heard many stupid answers before, but this is an original. Disappointed, I resign and explain, like I would to a child, what love feels like. India is a place, dominated by a crazy culture called 'Bollywood'. Its amazing to see the impact it has on one and all. If anyone should ask me, what rules India, I would like the answer to be Bollywood. Life, including politics, takes inspiration from this Industry. Then why shouldn't Love? Imagine the dreamy eyed Shahrukh Khan on a basketball field, looking love struck and telling the kid, Pyaar sirf ek baar hota hai. The impact this dialogue had on the audience was phenomenal! I can't se

WHO DUN IT??

Long time ago when man lived in caves, they often wondered if it was by magic that the voice echoed in the darkness of the cold barren caves. Evolution, as the scientists say, started in these dark barren caves, where cave men evolved to become the more civilized human race. But still the mystery continued. The mystery of sound! Man continued to be bewildered by Nature. And this kept him busy. He tried to figure out ways to improve his life. Life as we know it today, owes its gratitude to many known and unknown faces. If it were not for people like James Clerk Maxwell or for Heinrich Hertz we would have never stopped being awe struck by sound. Ever since they figured out electromagnetic waves the world took another leap at technology. It was a small step for these scientists and a huge leap for Radio. Wireless communications helped bond boundaries and bring people closer. But confusion begins every time a teacher asks her student, “Who invented Radio?” The answer never surprises anybod

Can't Blame The Hormones!

Slam the door hard of their faces ! My head reels, the voice becomes louder and louder. Come on, do it. Slam the door . I resist the voice, my anger raising within me. I close my eyes, trying to think of something pleasant. I feel the anger abate slowly. Teenagers they say, feel surges of anger or any emotion strongly. They say that the Hormones that are at work during their age causes this to happen. They relate bad behaviour, eccentricity, bad sense of dressing and mostly everything they do, to this fact. In the seven years of my adolescent life, I have learnt that if you let your Hormones rule you, then you will never win your parents over. So I tried, real hard, to keep my strong overflowing emotions at bay. But no matter how hard I tried, they irrupted once in a while. Which was not so bad, considering that my peers let them run loose. Slowly, but steadily, I could control my out bursts of anger. That's when I realised I had it in me to control not only my emotions but my l
