New Beginnings
Its late night and my sleepless head is throbbing with pain
But strangely my mind seems to be as clear as summer rain
I guess its been a while since I have felt so
Trust me the feeling's really nice though
Talking to you today seemed so easy
Once again the idea of facing life dint seem crazy
All we did was sip coffee and chat about things
And what all situations in front of us life brings
Darling you come across as someone genuine and stable
Not to mention extremely sweet and adorable
I must tell you I think it will be fun to be with you
But I really don't know whether you think so too
While I don't know how things will move forward for you and me
But I do think something good can come to be
I guess I should sleep now or this headache won't end
I hope you smile though when this to you I finally send

Silent Whispers
Engulfed in a blanket of
Darkness,
Deep and eternal,
I lie...
Sleep so nigh
But not quite there...
Echoes from the depths of
Past,
Absolute and faded,
I hear...
Silence so absolute
But transitory still...
Enraged plethora of
Questions,
Confused and long,
I ask...
Soothing answers so close
But drift away...
********
Of You
Of dreams torn apart
By that fickle lady...
Time
Of promises now broken
By that cruel monster...
Change
Of relentless frustrating sighs
In that unyielding wait...
Hopelessness
Of words seldom spoken
In that incomplete emotion...
Love
Has become My life
Waiting, waiting desperately, for...
You
********
Of
Confusion And Love
As
I sit thinking of you,
All those times I feel lost
And I think what I want most,
Without having a clue
Its the eyes I think,
That most beautiful gaze
Which leaves me in a daze,
And a little more in the ocean of your love, I sink
Suddenly flashes then a smile,
On those honey-sweet lips
Like a fuse, my heart trips,
And my mind shuts off for a while
And then I see that expression so sweet,
How can you be so beautiful?
It makes me feel so wonderful,
Knowing you to be mine is a delicious treat
I then feel confused no more,
Having figured out what I really want
Living without you is unimaginable, I can’t,
Its you I want with all my heart and my core

A Walk Through The Woods
Its a nonchalant summer evening
With confused golden rays of sun
Filtering from behind,
The clouds so dense and dark…
Its a long winding road
Like a black snake in hot desert sand
Writhing through,
The forest so dense and dark…
Its not a horizon of gold and black
But a dark green wall of leaves
Engulfing everything in,
A curtain so dense and dark…
Its dark and dense and dense and dark
I grapple for a reason why I am walking on
Perhaps, perhaps,
Sometimes there is no reason…
