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.

Her response to her Love…
YOU CAPTURE MY BREATH!
It is rare that we have to speak our feelings
In my eyes are where the truth always lies.
I feel as if we have been together forever
Time must stand still when we are together
You capture my breath each time we meet
When we are apart my eyes still follow you
Life moves so quickly, I question our timeline
How long will you be mine in this world?
You consume my thoughts and my dreams
I wonder if we could even breathe apart…

HOW I FEEL!
I saw you last night
And got the old memories in my heart
When you came to in sight
My world become turn into bright
If your love is red
Then I am colour blind
When you caught my eye
My heart stood still
Now I reveal exactly how I feel
Should I confess I love you
And swear by our love
Or, should I reveal exactly how I feel.

She shakes inside as she responds to his words…
I CAN FEEL YOU!
I tried to avoid seeing you
but that idea became short lived
Fore when I look in your eyes… Sigh…
I see every moment we’ve ever shared.
Our love is crimson, the deepest love there is
From the beginning, it took just one glance
Everything changed from that very moment
And that deep of a love scares me inside
You stand with your guard down in front of me
with nothing to cover your true feelings
I vulnerably feel every word you are about to say;
Every word and thought never said aloud
Stay silent of your feelings for me
Look in my eyes instead.. Show me…

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.

THE ROAD LEADS TO YOU!
When we met the other day
Time silently stood still
Like an obedient student ;
The sky melted and
Shaped into your honey heart
I have left the world to get you
All that my heart wishes
Colours me in your hues of love
It starts and ends with you
I am not speaking
Only my heart speaks
You are the only destination
And my every road leads to you.

THE CITY OF DREAMS !
I want to roam there where you rule
No one knows where life ‘ll take us
How long those moments ‘ll last
The city of dreams feels incomplete
With you standing against me
Why your face bears resemblance
To the one I do see in my dreams
Do tell me the secret behind this
You weren’t mine yesterday
Will you be mine today & tomorrow?

She gives him the answer he seeks…
IF ONLY FOR NOW !
Walk with me if only for now
Wherever life takes us is home
These moments are precious
and life could end without notice
Dreams can come true or die
I have always been with your through time
I was the shadow that waited from afar
Did you not notice me on a sunny day or
hear my whisper in your ear through a warm breeze?
You could not see me in the past, but I am your future
Only the time we have been given is guarenteed
I will walk with you until we get to that fork in the road
Whether in reality or dreams… either way you’ll be mine.

SKY SHOULD FALL!
I was wrong
For I cannot hide my sorrow
You would share all my tomorrows
Believing you belong to me forever
I learn to live alone with time
I may forget your smile and tears
And through the years
I can’t go on belonging to the past
That has not been my last
Though this sky should fall
Remember I shall always be true
Forever loving you.

She’ll always love him… and responds…
FOREVER LOVING YOU!
I would have always shared your sorrows
But for us, are there really tomorrows?
We planned a life together forever
but we both now have to accept our fate
Making you live a life alone is not fair
You can no longer live for what may never be
Remember my smiles and even my tears
And all the happy memories over the years
But know, that like you, I will always be true
Forever loving you too…. <3

TORMENT OF THE MOMENT!
You very often fall in love
Then suddenly break my heart
And go away from life
Oblivious of the fact that
You taught my heart how to beat
And to torment the next moment
With tears hidden in my eyes
Coming out like rain drops
You placed me in your heart
Just to play with my emotions
Like a mischievous young kid!

She smiles as she shakes her head..
ENJOY EVERY MOMENT!
How can I convince you that our love never changes?
I believe that we taught each other how to love
We have begun to heal each other’s damaged hearts
I never really leave you my love.. My spirit surrounds you
Distance will never stop me from hearing your heart
Dry your eyes and hold me close in your dreams
Your presence in my life is not a game with me
The only thing mischievous between us is
your boyish grin and the things you do to keep me smiling.
Oh, how I love you… Enjoy every moment. <3

MY INNOCENT HEART !
I can’t bow down my innocent heart
In prayer if I have to live without you
Then what kind of worship this is
This separation is rather long now
Cries of two hearts echo in the air
Signs though, you’re not in my fate
My innocent heart is looking for you
In close proximity in your picture
It’s impossible to forget you ever
We’re destined to be destroyed .
©®Dr.Prasana Kumar Dalai@India.
She sits alone staring out the window…
MY SHATTERED HEART
When you bow down in prayer
Ask Him… if you have to live without me
then what is the purpose of falling in love?
Though we have been separated for a year
The cries of our hearts are still as loud
In this life we survive much torture
Some more than others, and this, I am used to.
I don’t cry tears anymore because I know
how to live with endings more than beginnings
I know your heart searches for me
I can also feel you when you look at my picture
I feel numb as I hear these words coming from you
I am used to unhappy endings in my life.
No more once upon a times for me, as I close the door
to my empty heart again for the last time…
I can’t go through this again.. This may be The End.

SHALL I WAIT
You are time for me
And I’m moment for you
You are my universe
How will you be separated
You are the reason for my living
So unique your smile and style
Your face is like a mirror
A beautiful lilly you are Full of genial gesture
A small promise is for you
Will stay together at every turn of life
For this moment
Do tell me how long I shall I wait !

She holds his hand gently and speaks
TIME WILL TELL
Time is nothing that can be touched
It can only measure how long love lasts
Love can not be measured by a watch on a chain
For it is timeless and is a feeling that lives or dies
My love for you was born in my heart like a child
Painful at times but grew into something beautiful
Your gentleness never fails under any circumstance
And only you understand what this heart needed
I will hold your hand through every turn in life
from this moment in time to the next
For as long as the watch on the chain keeps ticking
Like the beats of our hearts, only time will tell
how long you should wait for me…

SMOKE FROM THE PAST !
I keep on hearing all you never said
Weave scattered dreams sans reason
Whose evil eyes have grabbed me
No place to hide my sweet dreams
I left all my desires for your sake
There is more pain now than before
Once again I make promises to myself
May the silent eyes stay speechless
My lips often tremble when I do talk
Words exchanged are not as usual
Can’t express the secret of my heart
Now there is no effect over me
The smoke from the past is burning
The same world is setting again.

MY HEART’S REGRET!
I am thinking to write
But what will I write
With this broken and aching heart
I can’t tell her I love her no more
Those words were scattered like pearls
That is a symbol of love
I would like to remember
But that’s not easy to forget
It’s my regret
Now I treat your heart so wrong
Cause I have loved you all along.

She agrees with him and speaks..
MY BROKEN HEART!
I sat here today feeling so down
wondering what to say to you
My heart has broken a million times
You can never tell me you love me
even though I know you do
Those words have been scattered like pearls
They are a symbol of love
and were not meant for my ears
But they became mine at some point
and now, not easily forgotten
I know your regret
You treated me wrong
Because you have loved me all along…
It is okay.. I will always do what is right
Your love does not belong to me….

A SMALL PROMISE !
Get your heart adorned into mine
Do tell the world what we are
Let two hearts be blended into one
And drown me in your emotions
Let my moments be soaked in your feelings
Inhaling that tropical scent of yours
Give me a shelter in your heart
Dissolve me in your warm sighs
Just a small promise in my entire life
We ‘ll be together at every turn of life
Our love is not going to be very short
And I ‘ll wait for you till my last breath.
©®Dr.Prasana Kumar Dalai@India.
Drowned in his emotions, she whispers to him…
A PROMISE FULFILLED
Our hearts are adorned by the beauty of purity and love
We are one heart that resides in two bodies
Our hearts blend easily and can not be seperated
Every feeling and emotion is shared without shame
For there is only pureness in such a joining
Every emotion drenches your being and every
touch felt deeply and it is welcomed with pleasure
The the intoxifying scent fills your nostrils and
makes your body shiver as our souls join
Hear my sighs and let me take in your every breath
until the thunder claps and the lightening strikes
within the realm that we share…
When the silence comes, the promise is fulfilled.
I will be with you in every turn of our lives
and will reside within you in eternity when I take my last breath.

NEVER BETRAY YOU!
The way life has turned away
I had never thought about that
I can’t believe what has happened
That painful episode of my life
I have given my heart and soul
I never betray you ; I don’t know
Why I fail to understand your value
I won’t let your eyes shed tears
However thorny the path may be
I am ready to walk on them for you.

She understands him more than anyone and responds…
NEVER GAVE UP ON YOU!
Because of the painful episodes in your life
you never gave much thought for a reason
You would have to relive them again if you did
You have never betrayed me
Yet you also never understood my value
I am the other half of your life
The half that has arms to hold you
a heart that never quits beating for you
and a love that holds you above all else
We can walk forward now, even when painful
For you now truly know how to love me
I am glad I never gave up on you…

FAMILIAR GLANCE!
My life began when we were unknown.
Still I feel,you always known to me.
When you cross Infront of my sight.
Your tropical scent blown away to me.
Your steady breathing as you walk away.
Your face like first glow of sun.
Your shadow like a paint of evening moon.
So many questions running through my mind
It’s unfortunate that I am unable to hide.
When you leave me, all happiness has gone.
My mind is clear as we walk down.
Your whispering words still running through my mind.
I can’t explain, unspoken words behind.

She speaks to him with love…
ALWAYS FELT YOU!
My whole life, I felt something was missing
Never feeling whole or satistified
I searched my entire life to find it
I filled that void with things that didn’t last
One day, there you stood, and it all came together
My days were brighter and my nights were calmer
The breeze carried the scent of your love to me
And from that day, I wanted to only walk with you
The words you whispered to me filled my being
When you are not here, my sadness is my only friend
and I am left with only thoughts of an image of love
Unspoken words begging to be heard…. <3

LOST IN YOUR DREAM !
There is no shape of my love
You can’t trust it
Million of empty eyes can’t see it
Always lost in your thoughts
Day and night same for me
Whatever be the consequences
There is a peace in restlessness
If one has fallen in love with someone
Your intoxing eyes intoxicate me
They have sorrounded me
The shades of your soul
I can’t tolerate the distance now
I can’t find peace anywhere
I want to hide myself under your heart.

LOVE FROM SOUL !
We are two bodies but one soul
Have two desires of one heart
This is the real union of two hearts
Confluence of two tempting hearts
The truth has emerged
What has passed was a sad dream
This love belongs to us
We are nothing but immortal souls
Let me know from you
What is hidden in your heart
For lovers who love from soul
Don’t talk about bodies.

HOW YOU SMILE!
Let the world know how you smile
I could be happy all of while
I could change the destiny
If I had you
I forget all the old memories behind
I am ready to leave all love and affection
I had never mind
I rely on you
I could start my life a new
I know some where
You had look at me and I would see the smile
You are smiling now
Now you are my world

Do you ever wonder why I smile?
I smile when I see a beautiful sunset
When I hear birds sing on a silent day
When a baby laughs, I shine
For many years I lost my smile
Then I saw yours, and slowly
I found my smile again.
Now our world has changed
Our destiny is clear ahead of us
You can rely on me; My world is in you!
Could you not see?
And yes, I am smiling now
So when you see me smile
I hope you finally realize I smile because of you …. <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.

IN MY HEART!
I love that you notice how I look at things
You now see them as well..Not like before
There is a new gentleness about you
The closeness we have, is genuine
When you show love, you receive love
Like the pictures you save of me in your heart
or when the Moon sticks to the Stars above
Our hearts, no doubt, stick to the same soul
We are closer than your breath on my skin
When life changes, it will not change our love
For whether life is exciting or my dreams fall apart
I know that you will be right there still close to my heart
picking up any pieces…. Because your love will always live there
Never leave …<3
