To lose the Undying Hope

What a strange mystery, life is...

Full of chaos and randomness,

making you do things, you know

you are gonna regret, but still

you do it for that undying hope

that may be, what if...

she was the one who was meant to be.

You meet her on an off chance,

on a piece of home soil,

surrounded by foreign lands.

You feel attracted, for she is

a lovely lady, with a killer smile,

but you have to let her go, for she

is a stranger, never to be met again.

But the life is a cruel bitch,

doesn't let you rest in peace.

Presents you an opportunity,

you can't resist, a rendezvous with her,

surrounded by the pristine nature;

leaving a romantic like you with nothing

but to chase after the flying bird.

Just when you decide to give up, and

return to your quiet loneliness,

it pounces on you, leaving you unaware,

embracing you with her warmth and charm;

leaving no time for you to realize,

that you are caught in the wicked web of love,

with an everlasting pain to bear without escape.

You cry, you laugh, you try very very hard,

you pray, you beg, you pry every little corner,

for you search for a way your heart's desire;

for it is close enough to reach any day,

but far enough to not be with, everyday.

But still you persevere, for there is hope,

that she shall be yours, one beautiful day.

Like a true fighter, you decide to challenge destiny,

magnifying your own skills and strengths,

for the need to grab way through the Lion's mouth,

since she is a Princess, not easily impressed.

You win the opening battle, bring laurels home,

but for your own undoing, even your best lacked

teeth to win the prized jewel, you so desired.

With failure already upon you, and no foreseeable future,

a wise man would have a given up his arms,

but love is no wise man's game, its a fool's errand,

and cannot be done away with, at one's command.

You rise from ashes, for the hope still kindles

with the damsel awaiting your arrival, and hence

you must fight again for the war is still to be won.

In spite of all odds, as you struggle on,

finding happiness in little things of life, 

making wonders after wonders to garner her smile;

when suddenly your hill of cards come falling down,

when you hear the truth you so fear, from her sweet mouth,

“Forget me and move on. Seek greener pastures, my Prince.”,

for nothing is more painful to lose the everlasting hope,

that one day, she will be yours and you will be hers,

and together you both shall live happily ever after.

Whilst I Miss You

One fine evening, as I looked back,

I found every thing in my life

leading up to you,

and my future lonesome without you.

So I decided to tell you that day,

how much I think about you.

Whilst on the beaches, as I walked

on the smooth sand, feeling the cold waves

brushing my feet, I looked at the setting sun,

and all I could think of, was you;

all I wished was, for you to be beside me,

for us to bask in this beauty together,

gently smiling and gazing into the evening sky.

Whilst on the rocky hills, as I walked

by the valley road, breathing in its freshness,

feeling the morning wind lift me,

all I longed for, was you;

all I dreamed of, was your smile,

your touch on my hands, as we welcome together

a new beginning, with happy and content hearts.

Whilst in the crowded cities, as I drove

by the rushing cars, feeling the cacophony

overcoming me, taking me into oblivion,

all that my heart yearned for, was you;

all that I needed was, your company,

to wade through the raging commotion,

overcome the towering buildings,

and be together in thick and thin.

Whilst in my room, as I lay back

on my wooden chair, give words to my feeling,

pour my soul into the paper, even today

all that concerns me, is you;

all that I worry about, is your happiness;

for you to keep beaming with warmth and tenderness

and see the whole world with your innocent eyes,

whether with me or without me.

Hey gal, just listen.

Hey gal, just listen.

I know you might be busy.

I know I am not alone who needs your care.

But there is something you gotta hear,

'Coz I may be the only one dying for your care.

Hey gal, just listen.

I know you are scared.

I know I may not be your dream guy.

But look around and wait a few moments,

'Coz you may find me waiting with flowers.

Hey gal, just listen.

I know distance matters.

I know I can't be with you always.

But still look deep in your heart once,

'Coz there lies a reason to still wait for me.

Hey gal, just listen.

I know you deserve more.

I know I have limitations.

But don't simply ignore and move on,

'Coz you may miss the chance to be with me.

Hey gal, just listen.

I know you have inhibitions.

I know I may not be worth it.

But try, rise above fears and take a risk,

'Coz whatever happens, you would be glad that you dared.

Hey gal, just one last thing.

I know you may find me crazy.

I know I can be difficult.

But had it not been for you,

I would have just been me and not tried being a poet.
