Together, Nonetheless.

Wait you say, and wait I will
I'd walk blindly, trustingly, if I hear you call,
Hold on, you say and you say we'll pull through.
You have safe hands, and I will surely fall.
Listen you say, and how can I not,
My heart beats to you, drumming silently,
I pick out your vibrations running fingers on wood,
Your message, among the millions at sea.
See you say, and I close my mind to everything else
Fingers entwined with yours and longingly so
Like sand through the crevice in my palms, water through streams
Time will, surely, effortlessly flow.
Pick me up off the shiny floor of my dreams,
Sew me together, frayed that I am, at edges
In the secure lock of your arms I place my head
Trust me, my love, like I trust your pledges.
Beautiful and red, like a summer's day
I shine violently, with the blaze of all my happiness
Starlit, lovingly by the diamonds in your eyes,
However distant it may seem, we are together nonetheless.

wrong be your thoughts

wrong be your thoughts, and wrong be your ideals, sacred as they are
If you cannot love me, truly and deep,
You've walked long and you've reached far,
And you still come across to me, in your sleep.
Wrong be your thoughts, leaden be your arms
If they don't strain to hold me , me close
Strange be your name, if not entwined with mine,
And if alone be your love, sunken in woes.
Wrong be your love, if it is not mine,
Empty be your home, without me to make it complete,
Wrong be your thoughts, wrong be your dreams ,
And until from my lips, may sugar never be sweet.
Wrong be those sane thoughts without you in them,
Unworthy be those letters not adressed to you,
Careless be those walks without your side,
Wrong be those thoughts, wrong , without you
Unforgiven, those mistakes not committed to take me,
Unholy, that land, not trodden upon to reach for me,
Darkening that sunshine that doesnt shine upon us together,
And bitter that honey that doesnt pour on you, on me.

Sitting in the pools of your sheets.

Sitting in the pools of your sheets, resting my head on your pillow,
What am I without your love, without your merest illusion?
Drinking from your lips, following your paths,
If it isn't love, it must be devotion.

Standing in your bathwater, living in your embrace,
Travelling in your city, wearing your cotton,
Listening to your voice, walking on your land,
The only thing that is mine is the dreams I've spun.

Holding your hand, following your lead,
Unburdened, free- love is freeing me unto you,
Carefree, reckless, fierce like the Sun,
Deeper than my blood, deeper into you.

Everytime I open a book to study, a hurriedly-jotted down poem pops out of nowhere! And the only time I can write anything of substance is when my exams are abt to begin... Needless to say, I cn never give away my notebooks to people. Maybe someday I'll compile all these lil smippets together and make an actual book.

As the world falls down...

As the world falls down, and the stars turn black,
as the roots of our foundations crumble and we turn,
towards each other for compassion and struggle to smile,
as the world falls down, love is what we will learn.
And sinews grow anew, and feelings are forgotten,
bones that are brittle no longer bend lovingly to you,
You could fall back on me, and as the world falls down,
I will always turn to you.
Maybe one day when no one understands this avalanche of trust,
and we can't explain to ourselves what it is, this happiness,
And as it all snaps, and great crumbling boulders of disparity,
I will always turn to you, amidst all the hurtful mess.
And rebuilding together, while wines grow old,
Laughing and twinkling like wound-up-toys, and smiling with ease ,
While we see me falling, and you save,
When the world falls down, save me please.

CANDY STORE!!!

Coarse and rough, smooth as ever
I can hear your laughter, and I can imagine your smile,
just around the corner in a candy store in the sun,
there you'll be, in just a little while.

You are picking out our favourite pieces and
thinking of us now, I know you.
the red cars are crawling slowly,
I'm ready with a kiss to blow you.

You'll look up from the rainbow colors, and wave-
grin a cheeky grin when you see me in a purple coat.
then jam your hands in your pockets, and smile
when you see me crossing the whites on the zebra on the road.

and,


the Sun, ooh the Sun streams down upon you,
the candy's melted sticky I'm sure,sticky,
sitting on red park benches,reading the sky,
with your head in my lap, feed each other greedily.

and laughter, you laugh at every insane thing I say,
and shake violently,
maybe this madness is love.
maybe its the candy.

In the glow love lends..

A little stranger, it seems now,
the life we live everyday, and stars
seem closer, somehow we call them friends,
and live in the glow love lends.

Everyday is brighter, words mean
what only wht songs let them seem,
tunes whisper and lead us on, dreams
tinkle and tinsel our everydays...

a little longer seems eternity,
a lil shorter than one minute of suspension,
like helium balloons in sparkling days,
we reach , having forgotten the ways..

A heart is deeper, reds seem to linger,
on the lips of a sun-kissed smile, and
I might get accustomed to this trend,
living in the glow tht love lends...

can i just smile secretly?

She, her, his...

His- and tht is wht she longs to be
there is where she hopes to be left behind
in an alley of his memory,
in his arms on his mind.
in the sweetest part of a dream
on the patio, under the trees,
in the fondest look he searches for
and the deepest one he sees.
the secret smile and the flicker of a memory
tht threatens to overwhelm
of a sanity tht is beggin to be set free-
tearing at the helm.
of a mundane profane everyday
she longs to be the cure
of an uncertain mind
she longs to be the 'sure'
the memory a love song awakens
the joy when a ringtone should chime,
the flutter a voice starts
the shiver down his spine....
