Paper Plane

My time has stopped, waiting for you

My life is lost, searching for you

My rhyme is broken, like our hearts

My strife is ending, waiting for a fresh start

My love is a paper plane

Riding a breeze of happiness that's you

Torn and crumpled the plane maybe

The heart still flies, for the love that's you

Flying high through the skies

My sight is dark, with a silver line

The wind stands still, and time goes by

Wrecked are the wings, on hope it glides

My love is a paper plane

Riding a breeze of happiness that's you

Torn and crumpled the plane maybe

The heart still flies, for the love that's you

As age goes by, wrinkles my plane

An ordained hope, surfaces your sight

A place to land, to be at ease

A fitting end, to a wishful ride

My love is a paper plane

Rode a breeze of happiness that's you

Torn and crumpled the plane was yes

The heart still flew, for the love that's you

A burning candle of stone

The candle flickers, at the table for two

No one on the earth tonight, except for me, except for you

Your touch so warm, bestowed atone

My heart just melt, a burning candle of stone

It yearned, and longed, waited for you

Now it beats and sings, songs of happiness due

Your seraph smile, my cherub soul

The incomplete, is now whole

Time together doesn't ever seem enough

My hand over yours, a gentle brush

A dream I see, with open eyes

Coalesce into one, two wandering lives

Not dusk to dawn, but life as we know

Rainbows to rain, autumn to snow

Qualms doubts fears, we dispel

Together we make, a story to tell

A change of hearts

You and me

Under the big old tree

Gazed up the starry sky

Our spirits young and free

We saw the distant dreams

In each other’s eyes

Lying in each other’s arms

Throughout that night

“Ours will be a story to tell” you whispered

“Yes it will”

First few moments together

Yet, “for forever it seems”

You stole my heart

You held my time

Unlocked your heart

Yes, you became mine

Like a matchstick does

Our passion did burn

From a flash to fire

To ash forlorn

It was autumn I remember

When we went apart

Wasn’t our first

Change of hearts

We buried our love

Under the big old tree

For our love, our passion

Were young, were free

Obscured our dreams

When the misery came our way

But for all you know, a distant thought

Is just a heart-change away

Buoyant love

Buoyant love

A shining light, glittering hope

Benevolent touch

Healing my turbulent soul

Bridge kaput, two steps to love

I take one

In the torrent rest falls

A foggy night, a distant ship

Lonely at the shore

In the waves a face I see

A burning rage, an amorous heart

Bitter pills

An abysmal fall

A perched bird, wings burned

 Fervent yearn

Oblivious beloved

A dark night, mourning dove

Forlorn thought

My buoyant love

Two steps to love

Sugar and Spice (The way she is)

Rosebud laugh and a childlike heart

Oh yes, and visibly smart

Lips that sync with her flickering eyes

She’s the sugar and she’s the spice

She charms you with her grace

And wins you over with her wit

Test your patience, she does

But hopes you never quit

Only sings when you look away

Loves when in your arms she sways

Mystery like the big blue sea

She showed me the crazy me

She’ll cast her spell

And you wouldn’t even know

Test your patience, she does

Makes you fall so slow

So, I tell her..

Unlock your door

And let me step inside

Skip your weary mind

Just let the heart decide

She breaks hearts with her silence

And mends them with her smile

Test your patience, she does

But makes it all worthwhile

Unlock your heart

Hallucination

 The lips with a beautiful smile

Haven’t chortled, for quite a while

Eyes which had the brightest spark

Faded too soon into the dark

Her concerned words of care

Do now need their fair share

Her blithe merry ballet of joy

Exposed to life’s puzzles and ploy

The zeal of her adolescent heart

Splintered into bits and parts

Fervor of the juvenile soul

Witness to futile control

Her voice that echoed its distant dreams

In agony and anguish it just screams

The mind apostle to buoyant thoughts

Heedless vagrant, is distraught

In awe of her present and her past

Life and love as I passed, I asked

Was I delirious then, or am I now

Restore her past can I, somehow

My dream: The blue door

I saw a dream last night, and wondered all through the day – what does my dream truly mean? Finally, I decided to write my dream as a poem. In fact, dreams are just like poems, full of oxymora, metaphors and alliterations.


Hope you like it.

The blue door

3am in the morning

Finally I go to sleep

So many thoughts revolve in my head

So many, that it’s hard to keep

I finally cross a river

Before the gush could rise

I do it holding your hand

Even with my closed eyes

I reach the safe place

Behind the blue door

The flood starts to rise

As the skies start to pour

It’s gusty, submerged

the world now seems

A safe place this door

How longer would it be?

As you and me resist the surge

Try to keep the blue door closed

We manage to bolt the urge

But such strong brook, would it hold?

Scores of time passes

I’m still clutching the door

The storm has now passed

But did I let you go

I look around, you, I couldn’t see

Slipped through my fingers? How could it be?

I run the streets, still soaking the rain

And in my heart, I feel this throbbing pain

The picture brightens, I see the sun

What fell apart has been undone

The sky’s now clear, so are our paths

Why not, I wonder, such from the start

And I see you smiling, walking towards me

I feel your touch, your scent in the breeze

The love in the eyes as I see

I kiss your lips; put my heart at ease

My eyes open, I wonder what I had seen

In my thoughts I realize, you had been

And more than ever, I miss our past times, realize

My dream has no meaning, just this rhyme

Alive

Alive

Dead to the world, was me asleep

3 in the night, woke up drowning deep

I looked at the ripples, the reflection wasn’t mine

The eyes stared down, watched me supine

It was the world watching me sink

Indifferent they seemed about my last eye blink

Dead to the world, deep in memories I slept

4 in the morning, I woke up with fire around my bed

The luminous flames the world had put blinded my eyes

And the heat of the inferno shut my mind

With no one around, the final moments came

Alone I burnt, my death had no name

5 in the morning, first of the sunbeams

My eyes flashed open, rose from lurid dream

With you by my side I took a deep breath

Kissed your forehead, towards you I leant

Your loving smile made me know

My life is more than a howling echo

It means something to those who give it meaning

That’s when I know in spite of the dreaming

Your love will always keep me floating

And put out the flames when the heart is burning
