A NEW HORIZON!
I would hope for things
That independence could bring
There will be no hate and war
But peace all over the world
Looking for opening new doors
Expecting no surprise
But peace of mind and harmony
Until the day is gone to horizon
A new desire will born
Life teaches both good and bad
Let evils be buried in the past
Leading our life to way of sublimity
Looking forward to embracing hope and peace

SEASONS OF MY LIFE !
We have never met earlier
Nor are we related to each other
Still we’re connected together
My mind is all confused now
A sparkling diamond in my life you’re
You do keep me moving around
All the seasons of my life
Stars blossom as I walk towards you
My heart and soul start flying
I live and die only in your name
I can’t sort it out after I’m entangled
Do free me from this mundane world.

She stands before him and responds…
NO COINCIDENCES IN LIFE!
Although we have never met
and you are no kin to me
Our connection is somewhat a mystery
But I’ve never felt confused when it comes to you
You are as comfortable as my most favorite blanket
A part of my life you’ve become
You have enhanced my life from the start
and the one that will hold a place in my heart
There is nothing to sort out in this entanglement
Because I believe there are no coincidences in life
Live happily and freely in this beautiful world
Mundane will never be a part of you and me <3

STANDING AWAY FROM YOU !
You are standing away from my sight
I feel like feeling cursed this morning
A beautiful face hidden in your hair
I wonder if it is a dream or reality
Heartbeats do throb vigorously
A soft foot approaching towards me
You ‘ll meet me in every turn of my life
Keeping our love story behind you
You are always away from me though
Feel your precious presence in me.

MAKE ME REALIZE !
My heart belongs to you
I must go where you may lead
If love is red I am colour blind
I may not see the things
That you might see
And I may do just what I should do
I am looking through the eyes of love
And can see so much
The other eyes don’t find
Still the sparkle in your eyes
Makes me realize one and all..

She sees the changes and speaks…
THROUGH EYES OF LOVE!
My heart will always belong to you
Wherever you walk, let me walk beside you
You could never see through my eyes .. But
I now see changes in you that weren’t there before
I will always let you do things your way
But now I see more compassion and more empathy
You are seeing so much more through eyes of love
They now sparkle when I catch you smiling
And if I have helped you see some of these things
know that I was sent to you for that very purpose
You have shown me many things too…. <3

ON ITS WAY!
Looking at the world through your eyes
Everything looks pretty
Everything that passed seems to close to you
Like the pictures of yours stick to my heart
Like moon clings to the stars
Or ,you will never get rid of me
Me and my shadow
We are closer than hearts that stick in a soul
When your dreams fall apart
When each passing day
And life gets more exciting
And love is either in your heart
Or in its way.

LIVING IN YOU !
My emotions flow through tears
My life for you turns into worship
My heart and soul surround you
Tales of my heart now done by eyes
I ‘ll not take single breath minus you
I ‘ll born and die with you
My desire for you reaches such an extent
I ‘ll snatch you away from the world
I ‘ll born and die with you
I ‘ve stated loving and living in you .

Tears for him fill her eyes before she speaks…
I NOW UNDERSTAND!
I always know when you are thinking of me
or when emotions fall like rain from your eyes
It is a feeling of an invisible blanket covering me
Your eyes show every story you have ever lived
Times apart are lonely, even for a little while
It tells me that we could not survive long alone
A desire overwhelms me with your slightest touch
and I need nothing more than you in my arms
I never understood the meaning of the phrase
“living and dying for someone”, until lately
And I too now experience those deep emotions
of loving and living in you.

TILL THE DUSK !
I ‘ll wait for you till the dusk of my life
Seeking you with my fading vision
Wandering with the load of my burdens
My savage madness ‘ll endure everything
I ‘ll never blame you for being untrue in love
But I ‘ll always regret the remoteness
I ‘ll have my love bequeathed to you
I ‘ll restore the legacy you entrust to me
Waiting for my time to depart from you
And you may be here the next moment.

NO ONE BE THERE !
All your sweet talks torment me
Do give me your heart if it is false
I can’t forget those moments,
Sweet & sour, after making me fool
Don’t look away from me
My heart is a little upset today
Let dark clouds drench love’s destiny
And straighten your open tresses
Of hair with my fingers in cold nights
Let’s disappear in a different horizon
May both of us be burnt unseen
And no one be there to take care .

Only she can steal his attention…
AS YOU STEAL MY LOVE!
Let me torment you with my words
My heart has always been yours
Whether sweet or sour, you move me
Foolish is, if you let me walk out the door
If I look at you, would I be able to resist?
Let my tresses warm your hands as you run your fingers through them, where dark clouds have drenched love’s destiny on a cold night. Warm me with your gaze upon me
Take me to a remote place where our love can burn while the sun goes down over a blue ocean.
Just you and me… not caring if even the moon watches and blushing as you steal my love…

IMPALPABLE PAIN !
It’s hard to explain
Why the past doesn’t stop
Why it doesn’t pass away
Everything is here
Still my eyes searching more
What happened to me
I don’t get to you on time
That is not the only face
In this whole world
If she is far away
Why doesn’t she leave my heart
This impalpable pain
My past memories never let me live.

She responds to the one whose heart she holds….
TWO CHOICES!
It is not so hard to explain why the pain doesn’t stop when it comes to the past
True, everything you need is there
but your eyes looked further, with curiosity
You changed and you fell in love
I am not the only face, but I am the face you found; The face that loves you for you
Distance made it even harder because my picture hangs on your heart, yet our lives remain apart.
The longing for something never had is the hardest to get over.. And it is hard on me also
Two choices are yours and these are the two
Stay painfully in the past or walk forward towards the one who waits for you….
Take a chance!

- STILL WAITING
I wonder if you’ve love in your heart
Just count the beats and tell me
If yours is as restless as mine
The moments love flourishes in
You’re waiting for the love ?
Hopefully I’m giving up this world
Do you also have as much faith ?
Do your eyes often express
The love and longing in your heart ?
I’m still waiting on the way
Do come and see ; you can feel.

FULL OF LOVE
Our love has become a fool’s love
because we are afraid of getting too close
It is not easy to trust once a heart has been hurt
And both of us have felt that kind of pain
So we play this game of hiding our deep feelings
to protect these two hearts that care so deeply
You pretend to be carefree and happy but we
both know how this game will end
You, like a falcon do fly but I am like the sun
I shine on you as you enjoy the warmth
Neither of us will leave such a beautiful blue sky
You have left the whole world for me, but you forget..
It is impossible for you to leave me, because our love
is not a fool’s love at all… We are merely full of love
And I am ready to consent, accept, and walk with you… <3

DAWN TO DUSK!
Like a dawn you entered my life
Calm and quiet,all refreshing
And I came adorned in the dust
Of every lane and alley ;
You came like an angel
The panacea of my heartache
I haven’t returned to my life again
But for a wound open today
Perhaps I have reached
The dusk of my life.

KEEP LISTENING TO ME !
Whether I remain or not
Just remain with me
When I lose my road
Keep coming on my way
Someday if there is something
Think that I am there in your heart
If the world troubles you
Know that I am there with you
Whether I say something or not
Just keep listening to me
I have wrapped my life
Don’t pass me by silently
Just touch if you wish to stop me

TIMELESS ANGUISH !
Speaking about our love
This night is haunting again
Its timeless anguish
Not easy for one to forget
Your words severely hurt me
Now my breaths are yours
Now they have no value
The dreams I saw about you
There is a hint of separation
I am searching for what I lost
Where to I find you
Sometimes I have forgotten things
That you always remembered .

MY WORLD IN YOUR EYES !
Painted I’m in the colour of your love
One soul in two bodies we are now
You were with me all the moments
I will wait to be with you till eternity
Every bit of my heart belongs to you
In your eyes I have seen the world
I do bow down to no one but you
Pillars of my love and strength you’re
Your entity a divine blessing to me
The talisman of growth you have been
Do look at me in your naked eyes
The moon envies, you’re unblemished.

Her heart beats loudly as she responds to him…
KEEPER OF MY HEART!
My Precious Soul..Keeper of my Heart
The color of your love has spilled over me
We share the deepest colors of Red
Your everlasting passion wakes my senses
My inhibitions no longer have a stronghold
And the heat of your love glows hot within you
Open the doors of your love and never close them
Look into my naked eyes and see yourself in them
They are the reflection of us both as one in two bodies
And the strength of this passion only grows stronger between us
while we bathe with no shame under the jealous moon above us
breathlessly.

I WONDER!
You call it love and they cruelty
It has kept on happening in my life
Then others will blame it
For the sale of my love today
I ‘ll go to you and confess myself
But be patient enough to listen to
What I have to say from heart’s core
With thousand shades of love
Mischievous pride may be revealed
At every word you utter in silence
I wonder why the world interferes
When the love birds go so crazy .

She finally speaks her mind…
TELL ME!
My Darling…
I will always sit and listen to your thoughts
But what is your perception of love?
Is it a feeling of sheer happiness
or perhaps it is a gentle touch or a kiss?
The only cruelty of love is keeping it hidden
If you love me, show me, don’t keep me
guessing how you feel… If you must.. Whisper
It is frightening to be so vulnerable and easier
to keep things in, without taking chances in life
How can you ever know how wonderful it could be
unless you boldly say the words that will set you free?
Don’t let your mischievous pride get in the way
To hell what the world thinks.. Look me in the eyes
and let’s for once let the Love Birds get crazy.. ©

LOST IN YOU !
You always stay next to my heart
As my reason to live ;
When your veil flutters over my eyes
My night ripples with your reveries ;
With each breath I smell your Amouage
And our honey-coloured days peep ;
The beat of my heart throbs
With your glimpse in my heart’s courtyard
As if your heart was telling me
I’m absolutely lost in you
And living with your memories.

THE SKY UNTOUCHED !
My heart has nurtured it secretly
The earth and the sky look anew
The bizarre breeze spreads its wings
I heard about the sky untouched
Your heart in this world is unseen
A rogue one day came to snatch us
Ere the love bud took its full shape
From clouds I heard the story untold
A spring goes to woe turbulent sea
My crazy heart does crave for you.

She answers him lovingly…
YOU’VE TOUCHED MY HEART!
You have always held my heart gently
And every day with you is anew
My untouched heart was touched by you
like the wings of a beautiful breeze
And the world sees the changes made
by one who has been so true
Someone tried to steal our love
like a rogue sneaking around in the dark
But our love has taken it’s full shape
and can only belong to your heart
The clouds spread our story across the sky
like a spring that flows into the turbulent sea
No rogue in the night could ever steal our love
The one who craves my love is enough for me.

BREATH OF MINE !
So evocative are your blue eyes Express volumes in silence
It feels like a lifetime has passed
There is hardly any life remaining
Bereft of breath every time we meet ;
While walking alone I often feel
Your eyes watch me from behind
A journey of ages has completed
I wonder if life has moved so fast
All along I keep thinking about you
I feel my every breath is just yours.
