Secret Admirer

A revisit to one of my most popular writings online. I love this one because this was written with total honesty. I was in love with a girl who didn’t know I existed. Today, she is married and living a happy life somewhere.

She came from heaven
Among us, apart
The time stood still
And she stole my heart

Her sheer presence
Does make me numb
To others I’m deaf
And stupid and dumb

She’s full of mystery
She’s conquered my mind
My days turn nights
It’s one of a kind

Those eyes, eluding
Killed me her smile
Her past and present
Is a questioned profile

Between us, grows
A thick black mist
To her, I’m nothing
I don’t exist

This feeling is natural
Insane but human
I’m just a boy
And she’s all woman

I’ll leave it at that
She’d never know me
My heart skips a beat
But she’ll never see

She’s from the elite
She’s obviously higher
But I’ll stay at my feet

To be, her secret admirer

Random Revelation 2

Some people are meant to lead. Some are meant to follow.

I can’t do either. Leave me alone.

What She Wants

She sits there sippin’ her coffee
Acting like she doesn’t know
But she can’t have him fooled
He knows she’ll never show

There is a little something
She will try to deny it
He can see it in her eyes
She sure wants to try it

She’s not taking her chance
He will have to understand
There’s meaning in that glance
An unseen, outstretched hand

So he takes the cue
And opens his heart
A man that he is
He must do his part

It’s how the universe is.
He asks, and she says yes!

Two cookies on a plate,
Now become one cookie less.

Mango

A year ago it was we met
A chance that fate had brought to set
Funny as hell, are Cupid’s tricks
Our date was over mango sticks

We talked and laughed and I could see
Your ice cream dripping shamelessly
And when you left, the feeling did start
A pool of mango, stole my heart

HeartSong

Being the hopeless romantic that I am, how could I resist to take advantage of this day? This poem is reflective of what I, and most of you would have felt, when that sudden realisation hits you like an explosion in your head… you’re in love. Happy Valentine’s Day.

HeartSong

The truth is out
Let the world be told

What lies in my heart this day,

Start a parade
Red carpet be laid

Get the rainbows out on display.

The joy in my veins
Burns the blood ’round my heart

Who, worthy enough, could I blame?

It comes from the bone
This fact writ in stone

Every breath of mine, now has your name ♥

Just To See You Smile

Your wish is my command.
Anything you demand.
Whatever it takes, will be done.
To bring back your smile,
You sweet juvenile,
Every war that we fight, shall be won.

The moon and the stars,
Only shine at your will.
The wind just refuses to blow.
Minutes turn to hours,
And with sorrow, even still,
The sunset has given up its show.

The warmth of the sun,
Has been forbidden, for one.
The birds chose to sing no more too.
Food has no taste,
And Balloons are a waste,
They’ve quit on the job ‘coz of you.

The world’s stopped rotating,
And the priests aren’t meditating,
They’re all trying to find what’s gone lost.
The life in your eyes,
With which darkness dies,
Just has to be found, at any cost!

“An indefinite strike!”
Say the flowers, and they’re right!
They don’t seem to want anything more.
It’s you we want back,
And the blues we shall sack,
Only then will the waves come ashore.

So a petition, we sign,
To bring back your smile.

It’s life against death in our case.

And honest, we swear,
That when you are there,

The world becomes again, a better place.

Alone

Sometimes things just don’t seem right, and it’s hard to understand just what really would make you happy. Like there’s something significantly missing, but you either don’t know what it is, or, interestingly, who it is. I’ve been feeling this for quite some time now and the more I try to overcome it, the more deeper I feel it. Moreover for some reason, I just can’t seem to feel at “home” anymore. What I consider my own, doesn’t seem like my own anymore, and that’s the saddest feeling you can ever get. Why is life so difficult?

I only hear
The voices in my head
I’m deaf to the crowd
And I feel like I’m dead

I don’t belong
Is a feeling I get
I want to move on but
It’s impossible just yet

I’m miserable
Being on my own
I need you now
Don’t leave me alone

Words don’t come out
When I want to speak
To break the silence
It’s emotion I seek

But you’ve stayed put
You’ll come not near
And I hate to ask
“What’s wrong with you dear?”

I’m terrified
Being left out in the cold
I’m troubled
And I wish you’d hold
My hand, coz it’s trembling
My thoughts aren’t assembling

I need you right now
I need some un-jumbling

I wish you’d understand me
But it’s darkness you’ve shown
I’m nobody now

You’ve left me alone

That Night

The sky looked so beautiful that night
A thousand stars were the only light
Like holes in the floor of heaven above
And with enough reason, I was in love

On a black silk carpet, were diamond knots
The universe approves of polka dots
The moon was full and shiny bright
For some good reason, there was love that night

Happiness and peace is what night finds
And I reminisced of some good old times
When love had no condition
And life was simpler too
Today those old philosophies
Are perceived as something new

Yet the night was dark
A memory from the past
But the light made me forget
And be happy at last

That the gloomiest day, can give way
To the clearest night, so bright

That’s what I learnt, in a divine way
From the love there was that night

Darkness Wonder

It’s so much better with the lights turned out
Everything’s hidden and there’s nothing about
Thoughts get lost in the thick black dark
Worries are gone, there’s no more to sprout

Come join me in
This darkness wonder
It’ll make you feel good
It’s a blanket you’re safe under

It’s so much better with the lights turned out
It’s what I like and I have no doubt
That you’d like it too, if you’d give it a try
Forget all your worries, and in the darkness just lie

Forget all your worries

And in the darkness we’ll fly

She gave me hers, and I gave her mine
