What's left behind...

After he stormed out

raging into the night

leaving them behind

The quiet house witnessed

A poignant sight...

Watching his mamma

The little boy cried

His mamma sighed

Tears rolled down his eyes

She soothed him with

 his favorite lullabies...

He cuddled close

She kissed his lil nose

Warm in her arms

As he gently slept

Her tired eyes 

silently wept...

Angel

 Last night I dreamt of you

I cuddled you soft and warm

An angel in my arms

Sleeping peacefully calm

I kissed your tiny feet

As your tiny hands

Reached out to me

I held you close

Doted on you totally

I saw myself love you

Unconditionally

In a perfect world

Where love triumphs

Unimaginable as it may seem

This beautiful spring

You would have been

My reality…Not given up

Like a lost dream

Love that was

On Valentines...

Your smile is what I remember

the first time we met

Your smile is what I now try

so hard to forget

Do you remember our first

conversation?

Bits and pieces float around

in my head..my heart

And now that we're
not together

it's the memories of us

that keep me from

falling apart...

I want to live for
the memories of

the hours we shared

when you seem to

show you cared...

I struggle to live through

the hours without...

facing my demons 

and hearing them shout...

Love was never enough

Love just never was...

I will never learn, will I?

That this is final...

not a momentary pause...

But tell me...
Do you ever feel

the way I do?

Do you let reality

fade away...

and feel tempted to

say it too

say...I love you?

the way I still do...

Done with loving...

Penned sometime ago ... shared today

"I'm done with loving 

done with giving 

without receiving 

When it's gone 

nothing else matters 

Love is a game

it breaks...it shatters 

 a game of lies 

of selfish desire 

a path of roses 

to a raging fire 

I could learn 

to play too 

take you for a ride 

I could lose it too 

this thing called pride 

My lesson I've learnt 

my broken heart nursed 

Yet I won't wish 

upon you a life cursed 

There in the depths 

of all my misery 

you've occupied 

a part of me 

Let me be... set me free... 

No more pain 

for your selfish gain 

It isn't you, is it? 

It's I holding on 

It's I not letting go 

Its my weakness 

and i'm letting it show 

I'm done with loving 

done with giving 

without receiving"

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

Let's get away...

I know solitude is rare
To think,
Of a time gone by

Sitting here humming
That old song…
I sigh …

It’s tempting to get away
Escape to that quiet
Solitude…
Just you and I

Time spent
In your arms
Your gentle touch
Soft kisses
Away from
Eyes that pry…

Memories that gave
Me reason
To smile
And rare occasions

that made
me cry

I smile
As I catch
That familiar
Twinkle
In your eye

I can read your mind
My love
We think alike
You and I …

Love happens...

Simply in that kinda mushy sentimental mood :P

Who needs words when
your smile says it all
Who needs touches when
your eyes feel it all

I'm not a believer in
"love happens just once"
love happens....
time and again
it happens,
every time I catch
your glance...

Unbelievable...amazing
I never thought I could
feel this way
I never thought someday
I'd hear myself say
"Stay..."

Your love does all that
and more
It's like nothing
I've felt
before
of that I'm sure :)

Who needs words when
your smile says it all
Who needs touches when
your eyes feel it all

Obsession

Ok this one I'm not too sure about. But I penned it down all the same and so it finds a place in "Creative Corner". Love can be liberating, exhilarating...love can be otherwise too. Where does one go when love becomes an obsession. No space to grow or maybe outgrow it?

I never denied
That I cried.
I shed my tears
Lived with my fears

Your love’s an obsession
And it hurts…

I thought you understood
I gave it all I could

We’ve changed
You and I
Face it
You won’t even try

I know what
You’re thinking
But it isn’t like that
It’s not just you
I’m hurting too…

One of us had to walk away
It had to be me…
I took the blame

But this pain you’re feeling
It isn’t any different
I feel the same…

We’ve changed
You and I
Face it
You won’t even try

Your love’s an obsession
And it hurts…

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...

Love is Special

I think we lose ourselves in thinking too much...sometimes life's not as complicated as we make it out to be. We really shouldn't go looking for problems where there aren't any and I really do believe that when we go looking for trouble, we've already let them in :) .. Below are simple lines to remind us why we need to let go of negativity and embrace a whole lot of loving!!!

Sunshine - bright and happy
Moonshine - warm and cozy

Love is what makes
An ordinary day
So special

Smiles - genuine and soothing
Laughter - candid and refreshing

Love is what makes
Simple feelings
So special


Embrace it
Feel it
Show it
Don't shun it

Love is what makes
You and me
So real

and

So very SPECIAL!

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.

*moments*

When you want to make it more than obvious :) and leave no room for doubt. Why hesitate...just be explicit and make the "moments" magical...hmmmmmmm :) ...

It's in the air...
this feeling
I sense it in me...
but
you're too wrapped up
to see

I could make it obvious
leave you with
no choice

How weird is that?
you can't sense it
when you look at my face
in my eyes...
in my smile...in my voice...

Yep I could
make it obvious
leave you with
no choice

Baby, I can give you
hell
and
heaven

You wouldn't know what
hit you
You wouldn't wanna
let go

Even if you did..
You'd be back
for more
yeah you would
for sure!

Feel The Wind Blow...

The inspiration for this poem is sheer romance :)! Love is a subject one can write pages and pages on right. I also wrote this while I watched the moon one night and with memories of a beautiful night spent on the beach...

You feel the wind blow
You watch the water flow
In the moonlight,
You take a step slow

You watch her back
As she stands,
Facing the stream
You can’t see her face
But you feel her hands
Warm….soft…
You know this is real
No longer a dream

You feel the wind blow
You watch the water flow
In the moonlight
You feel your love grow

 In her eyes you see
The love she feels for you
In her smile you see
The happiness she gets from you

In the silent dark night,
In your heart
A promise you make,
To hold her close
Never for a moment
To be apart

In your arms,
She feels the wind blow
Watches the water flow
In the moonlight
You see her face glow

Valentine Post

“Penned on the day of love “Valentines Day” for the one’s who don’t get back love in return. I know today everyone’s writing about and celebrating the love they have (so am I).

But this is for the ones hurting more than ever on this day...alone...with so much love to give but getting nothing in return! This is my attempt to see love the way they do...through their eyes…heart and words…

However, this poem is so not me! I personally hold the belief that people have more than one chance at true happiness if they learn to let go...”

- Ishita

I love this pain
I love this hurt
I love this longing
Why?
 
Because in this
I find my love
So true and selfless
 
You know none of it
You feel none of it
You feel your pleasure
Your happiness

You
have it all
And you think
from you
I have nothing
At all
 
You find my love
so worthless
You’re wrong
I am not 
helpless
 
Though
I am in the state I am
I smile
Watching you smile
I laugh to make 
you laugh

In you
I try to seek my
happiness

I care knowing you’re there
I make the choice of living
rather than being
lifeless

I love this pain
I love this hurt
I love this longing
Why?
 
Because in this
I find my love
So true and selfless

When I think of....

All about what I think of when I think of my special someone...pure mush and sweet nothings in the following lines :). I loved the response to this poem too...many had good things to say!! :)

When I think of love I think of you
The sound of your voice echoes in my ears
The way you whisper..."luvvv u"
The way you call me..."baby"
The sound of your voice soothes away my fears

From the moment I wake up to a new day
I sense your love in many a way
Yes baby I long for this every day...

I wanna wake up to the touch of your fingers
Caressing my face...
Your touch bringing a smile to my lips...
The look in your eyes making my
Heart race...

I wanna wake up with that want...
That longing...that desire...
Hear your voice telling me how much you love me...
Lifting my spirits higher...

You make me feel like I never ever knew love
You're an answer to my prayer from my God above :-)

Love...

These lines were written sometime back...when I was in the mood to just scribble something on love :-) ... and published on our "anniversary" :) ...

His voice sends shivers
Down my spine
I know my heart is
No longer mine

His kiss makes me
Long for more
I love him
That I know
For sure

His touch…mmmmm…His touch
Drives me crazy
I know…yes…I know
This isn’t…This can’t be
A simple maybe

*******************************

I once read this line
"I love you so much it hurts"
Now I know
This line is mine

I feel I’ve gone back in time
Back to when I was sixteen
*sigh*…I want to live this feeling forever
If this is a dream,
Don’t…Don’t wake me up ever!

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...
