Suffocation

I wish the sunlight always stayed with me
I wish the dusk never sets its mark
I wish no one comes up to me and asks,
"Are you afraid of the dark?"

I wish I could cry and cry out loud
I wish I could stifle my own cries
I wish I could the erase the horrifying feeling
Of Seeing a Nightmare with open eyes

The Night

The Night spreads its blanket all over,
And disappears with the blink of the eye,
But for me, the Nights are the longest,
I hear every second ticking by..

Noiseless and peaceful sleep of contentment,
Silence is all one can hear,
But for me, The Nights are the loudest,
With memories deafening the ears..

The darkest Night comes just once a month,
Making the Night oh so cruel,
But for me, the Nights are New-Mooned,
For much longer than usual..

Who says the Sun brings the 'Morning'?
It just hides away the Darkness,
Thus for me, the Nights are never-ending,
There're just changes in its Brightness..

*Smitten*

They say that chocolates symbolize passion
And red roses show love so pure;
Why would I need these or any other gifts..
When you’re everything I ever asked for

My cheeks go pink without any rouge
Your presence makes my heart pound;
Why would a doctor need a stethoscope..
To hear my heartbeat when you’re around?

Deafening sounds, busy crossroads;
Scared to cross the busy streetline;
Why do I need to look left and right..
When your hand is entwined in mine.

Eyes and smiles do all the talking
Words actually spoken are very few;
Why do I need to look at my watch..
When time stops when I’m with you

Head starts spinning, the world goes round,
I smile without any reason why;
Why do I need to do bottom's up on alcohol..
When your kiss gets me this high

Completing your sentences, reading your mind
Holding you tight in times bad and good;
Why do we need to say an ‘I love you’
It’s something.. To Be Understood

Unanswered questions

How come your eyes twinkle as you smile?
How come your frown doesn't make it any duller?
How come your eyes are so sparkling brown?
How come I'm so sure of the colour?

How come I saw you with eyes open and closed?
How come I heard your voice in my mind?
Everyone said I was in love,
But that's something I straight denied.

I smiled as I thought of you,
How come that smile made my heart ache?
And then even you said I was in love,
But this statement I couldn't take.

I have all the reasons to hate you,
To shut you out of my life's door.
Then how come I love you so much, it hurts?
And that makes me hate you all the more...

I don't ask for promises. I don't ask for smiles
But just for absence of tears from my face.
I just want you to say you love me too,
And make everything fall into place...

You always ask me, "What do I gift you?" Well, here's my wishlist..

Gift me a diary wherein I write your flaws,
And the reasons to hate you and not care.
Then teach me how do I fill that book,
As every page remains blank and bare…

Gift me your perfume for me to spray,
And your scent would make my heart pound.
Then teach me how do I stop feeling you,
When there’s no you or perfume around…

Gift me a pillow to rest our heads,
With your arms spread around me wide
Then teach me how to sleep peacefully on it,
When there’s a vacant space beside…

Gift me an umbrella when it is monsoon,
As we walk half drenched half dry in the lane.
Then teach me how to distinguish the water on my face,
Whether it’s my tears or rain?

Gift me the boring, but simple life I had,
Gift me my steady heart, my peace,
Then teach me how do I hate you enough,
And erase all your memories with ease.

Gift me a moment where I’m entirely yours,
With no tears of guilt to shed,
Then teach me how to un-love you,
I’ve come a long, long way ahead.
