Loneliness

On of my personal favorites :)... I remember the precise moment when I penned these lines and the flow of thoughts on my mind *sigh*...this one is close to my heart and one I often read when I get here :)...

The sound of birds chirping 
The gentle breeze blowing
That longing

For you

Loneliness is a curse
People say
But in seclusion
My heart is kinder to you
I forget your faults
I forget the pain
Memories that flood my mind
Are happy and true

The car alarm goes off
The sound of footsteps
I come back to reality
I am not alone
The pain...the hurt
It’s all back in me

Reality hurts
Loneliness is my shelter
Do I want to be back in the real world?
No…I think never

If only

"I got here to post a poem which is one of my favorites:-)...then I was reminded of someone:-) who said they(?) like my poems but....ummmm...would luv to see one that actually rhymes!...hmmmm:-)so I changed my mind and am posting this one instead!!...(which I think...does rhyme??)..."

If only my life was a dream
Then I would always be with you
If only my life was a dream
I would never be alone…never feel blue

If only my life was a dream
Your smile would be just for me
If only my life was a dream
Our love would be for all to see

If only my life was a dream
I wouldn’t stay restless through the nite
If only my life was a dream
To all our love would seem so right

If only my life was a dream
Unreal as it may seem
I’ll want to live it forever
And wake up from it…never

Reminisce

Not all love stories have a happily ever after. To live through betrayal and move ahead ... is what the lines below talk about. Memories make it more difficult to walk away... the heart pulls us back while the head pulls us forward...Life's never the same once we live through a heartbreak....we are never the same...

I smile…
Reminiscing...
The way your fingers brushed my lips…
The way your lips followed...
Tracing your love...

I laugh...
Reminiscing…
The things you did to make me laugh...
The stand up routine...
The sound of your laughter...

I cry...
Reminiscing...
The way you looked at her...
Your hands...holding her...
The promises broken...

I hurt...
Reminiscing...
The days...the nights...
We shared...
 
Never to hear you...
Never to feel you...

I hope...
I pray...
I will survive...
Will survive a life …
Without you...

Friends to Lovers?

The age old story when one falls for their "friend" and the all the emotions that flood our heart and mind... the realization, the questions, the anticipation ... the lines below grasp it all...we've all been there sometime or the other right :)?

You know that feeling

When a single glance
Can send your heart racing?

When you hear the sound of
Your own heartbeats in your head?
That’s love baby
My best friend said

Love...is it really love?

Have we really progressed
From friends to lovers?
All these years how...when...?
But why am I seeking answers!

You...just you and me
It’s as clear as it can be
We’re perfect
and we're meant to be

But I wonder
Do u feel the same way too?
If I said I love you
Would you say the same too?
    
I hope...I agonize
I despair
Nights and days pass
Do you even see
Do you even care?

The Rains...

Love the rains we've been experiencing here in delhi...there's something incredibly romantic about rains and the fragrance of wet earth...the cool breeze...and the feeling of rain drops on my face...

Winter or spring?
Neither
It’s the rains that
Make my heart sing

You wove dreams for me
Of rains 
and love
passionate...wild
You lit a fire within me

Rains and you
Will always be synonymous
But our love so true
Will remain anonymous

Forever true
Forever you

Winter or spring?
Neither
It’s the rains that
Make my heart sing

My baby

This one is for my baby :) and all the joy he brings to me! He's been reason to smile these past 6 years and I cherish him ever so muchhhh :) ...

He’s so naughty
Ohh...he’s run away again
That constant refrain
Yet I love to watch that mischievous grin
To hear the sound of his feet racin’
To hear him yell “mummmyyyyy!”
To cuddle him…to sing to him
When he’s tired and sleepy

He infuriates me at times
Turns me into a screaming shrew
No No No…baby No…I yell
 Yet I love to watch him recite a poem
To rush to his bus stop and get him home
To buy him that puzzle he loves to make
To celebrate his birthdays with the biggest of cake

What joy he brings…what tears he causes
To all at home…the center of attraction
Making us laugh…making us angry
He’s such a lovable distraction
I love to watch him grow
I love him so much you know

A Walk Down That Old Familiar Lane

I'd been thinking for sometime to put my poems in a different space. Finally, I've done just that and this blog will be the place for them...and I also love quotes and thoughts...now I can collect them here:-)... I will start by posting one of the first poems I wrote...which is also where I got the inspiration for the title of my main blog!:-) 

A walk down that old familiar lane
Revisiting pain
Never thought I’d live through it again

Left with empty words
happy and aching memories
Time seems to stand still
No one left to love...to please

Remembering lines from a song
We once danced to
Your smile as u whispered
I love you
Tears...now...fears
Of facing a world without you

Too late to change 
what could have been
Should have been
Left alone to face a fate
I’d never seen

Nothing eases this pain
I’ll survive I know
Yet again
 
Just another walk down that old familiar lane
