The End

All good things come to an end

Nothing lasts forever

The smile of a friend

Changes to the cold stare

Of a stranger

Sharing caring loving

Gone in the blink of an eye

“Us” losing out to “I”

Nothing left to say

Only a desire to

Walk away

Memories remain

They bring a tear...a smile

And all the pain

Fades after a while

It simply doesn’t matter

Life moves on

Till there’s thing left

The good...the bad...

Like “us” they’re all gone...

Then and Now

It's been a while since I last wrote here. Life's kept me busy in a nice way. The poem below was a spontaneous one and has not gone through any editing as such. Inspired by the lives of many around me.

 That was then

This is now

We’ve changed

You and I

And

We can’t fathom

How

Then there were

Secret smiles

Clandestine conversations

Passionate encounters

Every second together

Mattered

Every minute apart

Shattered

Now all that’s left is

Lingering feelings

Unfulfilled desires

Longings

Quiet sighs

Silent tears

Known and

Unknown

Fears

Even as I

Voice myself

Through my words

I can sense

Your discomfort

Try as I might

It will end

There’s a sense

Of finality

Tonight

Goodbye...

Love isn't always the only thing to sustain a relationship. I agree it's "the reason" why two people get together but it's not "the only reason" to stay together. Sometimes, we walk away from it unwillingly. The lines below try to grasp that feeling of "letting go"...

I know that look...

that..
look in your eye...
it makes me
wanna sigh

I know that touch...
that
touch of your finger
I simply
want it to linger...

feeling your breath...
down my neck...
smiling...
feeling that simple peck...

my head resting...
resting...
on your arm...
quiet moments...
moment of...
bliss..
ecstasy...
of peace and calm...

Feels like a dream...
Don't want to wake up..
Not now...
Not ever...
Reality brings me back
to the present
forever...

Walking away..
knowing...
your eyes following me...
I won't
won't
turn back...
my tears won't be
for you to see...

Friend

The one thing you can't predict is when and how love simply happens between individuals. When friends fall in love, it could be the start of a wonderful relationship or it could spell disaster too...esp. when they happen to be committed elsewhere already *sigh*... the lines below simply try and capture the frame of mind of someone caught in a similar situation...

Every time I pull you close

you walk
away ...
This is no game
that you and I
play ...

With words we weave
our own magical
tales ...

Solace we find in
each other
when all else
fails ...


We live
We play
with each other
 We give
We pray
for one another

Imagination takes us
to a different
place ...

The truth hits hard
the truth we...
you and I
must face...

We lay bare
our hearts...
Yet we can't help 
but care...
for others
unaware...

We walk apart
with nothing
but
regret
in our heart...


A wicked world
A cursed word
"friend"
Is this it?
Is this really?
The End.
