Goodbye


I am walking away,
but these streets ask me to stay.
The smell of the air, the tender love and care,
experiences I have had here are so rare.

I fell in love here, my heart swayed with joy,
But I have to go now. my heart was destroyed.
I see faded memories watch me walk by,
truthful moments and many lies.

The road knows me, the trees have seen me laugh,
the air pleads me to stay, my life is a downward graph.
I have to leave to pick up the bits of my life,
I may not live this life twice.

As the city fades like a distant memory,
I suddenly feel very happy.
I want to start over again,
I just need to know where to begin.

I am happy, I am scared too.
This is a new life I have to woo.
Let me do my best, let me go,
above this city and its bright lights, I have to soar!

I am leaving behind all the pain and hurt,
only taking with me the love I've got.
I say goodbye now to these streets I have tread,
to a good life they have led.

Explicit

When people talk, do they always say what is on their mind? Or do they live in a fear that words once thrown, like stones, can create ripples in the water? I have been thinking of how honest people actually are, when I got the news that honesty is a flexible term and can be moulded according to the situation or circumstance. As I rode my two Wheeler to office today, I looked around on the street and saw 'dishonest' people. Where are they going? What are they going to say next which may not be honest? I was infuriated at the thought that at some point of time I can also be 'dishonest'. So what is honesty? Should people be explicit with their feelings to be considered honest? A friend who comes dressed like a Fashion disaster wouldn't want to hear the words circulating in your head. So you say nice things to her like, oh what a lovely dress! But do you really mean it? Most often NO. Then are we being truthful? We two people fall in love, it is an amazing feeling. We...

SILENT TEAR

Every time a tear drop falls, I tell myself never again will it happen. I hug myself and promise the universe, no matter what I will not hurt again. But love makes it so hard for me to hold back all the memories & emotions that flow from my eyes. I keep quiet, listening to my heartbeat slowly. I feel the pain in my chest, but a smile covers my face! How ironic life can get? But we still believe in it. One door closes, a window opens, they say. But in a room with no windows, do we breath, do we stay alive or do we die? I don't deserve this love-less state of mind! Patiently, I waited all these years, believing you would come to me, in a dream, like a dream, like a ray of sunshine through the dark night! I smile at the sight of you, a tune struck a cord in my heart, and I begin to dance! Dancing my pain away? No, a welcome dance. A dance to fresh pain, for a new tear drop on my cold cheek. I stand still now, I suddenly realize that my heart is under an attack. Open, my heart is ...

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 yo...
