In the larger scheme of things

The empire stands majestic and tall.

Brick by brick you laid.

With your own hands.

Not caring for the wounds.

"The empire must shine", you said.

It shone. Brightness taking away your sight.

You still smiled. Blood and sweat you put in.

Now unflinching stands the empire.

And you stand invisible.

You are just a tiny object in the larger scheme of things.

Unseen. Unheard.

Holding On

 The grip slipped away, but she still holds on

So many reasons to let the grip slip away, but she holds on

Not knowing whether her fingers would give up

But her mind and heart not wanting to give up

Is it time yet to let go?  

Her bruised elbows and knees from the last time, shouting out loud to let go

Her hands, could she trust them completely?

Will she let go? Should she let go?

Dancing melancholy and pain

Yet, she holds on with a lying smile

Trying to hide her pain and struggle 

Will she let go? Should she let go?

Last Dance

Endless ocean, breeze and waves playing symphony,
With the moonlight reflecting in the waters
Thank you for coming, my love
One last time we meet,
dancing in the moonlight
One of a kind
Throwing away all worries, hopes and dreams
We dance away in the moonlight
Not wanting know what life would be tomorrow
Today is what would matter.
Dancing the night away
I hold these moments with you, in my mind
And will forever find them special
Minds over body!
So much special that this meet brings smiles and no tears.
Today, will be my forever.

Innocent love!

Rollercoastered the world,
exploring the unknown, the excitement,
the love and the fear.
Years gone by, but none loved like you did;
The love with no expectations,
The love you let slip by, out of selfless love,
Innocent years and cherished memories,
forever a happy place to be
Never a touch or a kiss!
Peace, calm and butt load of smiles!
That's what it was and that is what it will be
for the rest of my eternity!

For love's sake

Fingers slip away from mine
For want of excitement
For want of wicked love
For want of listening to praises
Sound of shattering vows, a melody

Ask how it feels to be thrown away
Ask how it feels to be forgotten
Ask how it feels to be alone
Sound of shattering vows, painful
Pure and precious they were

Scars left all over
Forgive, can I?
Replaced I was, even if for a while
Walking through bouts of self doubt
Self pity and loathe
Chaotic mind, splitting ache
Forgive, can I?
Can scars ever fade?
Forgive can I?

For love's sake, forgive can I?
Till death do us apart, forgive can I?

Ripples

The ripple in the water
taking the calm away
ruffled hair and sleeves up
running amidst the silence
with chaos in mind and
ripples beneath feet
The strings humming tunes
The rains waiting to dance with the winds
The sun there bright and
the clouds tearing up the sky
peeping on to watch the ripples
The ripples of chaotic happiness!

Selfless love

A fear of being thrown away
A fear of being shut off
A fear of being left alone
But selfless love it is.

I withdraw my love
For the fear of being broken
I know not revenge, greed, harm
Just a handful of love
Slipping through my fingers
Not being able to hold onto

I withdraw
Open my fist, with all my heart
I keep aside my heart and wish you the world
Happiness I wish you, from the bottom of my heart
Goodbye my love.
