LIVING IN YOU !

My emotions flow through tears
My life for you turns into worship
My heart and soul sorround 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 .

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!

1. 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

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.

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 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.

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!

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 .

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.
