Once Upon A Time In Love

There he was sitting and staring at her,
Thinking of the sunshine which her smile spread,
Looking at her, he smiled to himself,
He was not perfect for her,
As she was so fine all the time,
Her  perfect lips,
Her sway in the hips,
He just stalked her,
He looked at  her eyes,
Hoping that he sees himself in them,
He stared at her pearlies,
Hoping that he  was the  reason behind it,
She  was musical in her own way,
She was  a mystery unsolved,
She was the love song,
She looked  at him in a way he didn't knew,
She  knew he stared, she smiled for him,
He hoped that  she   knew,
What she meant to him,
He wanted to be the song  she sang,
He wanted to be  the talk she gossiped,
She talked a lot, talked  a lot about him,
She sang the song which he  heard when the lights were dim,
He prayed  for her every night,
He wished  for her to be with him just tonight,
She prayed for him every  night,
She wished to be beside him at every sight,
He smiled at  her,
She smiled at  him,
And they knew  that Love had fallen upon them.

Love,

NUMB NIGHT!!

The clock strikes 2,
I am awake,
Not because I am not sleepy,
I am awake because I cannot sleep,
Inner demons are fighting to come out,
Catching up with the moment,
I try to calm them down,
I am unaware of the waves created in me,
I am unaware of the sounds that is being built in me,
I am unaware of the soul that is adjusting in me,
I lay there,
Looking at the clock,
Listening to its tick tock,
I move to get to the other side of the bed,
Laying there on the colder side,
Made me feel numb,
There was an eeriness about the night,
There was peace in my fright,
I didn't know where to go to,
I just lay there,
Taking in all the coldness in me,
I felt a sensation,
A sensation of a rush flowing through me,
A rush that made me flutter,
A rush that made me shudder,
I am still,
The night is moving,
And because the night is moving,
My numbness is going still.

Prince In Shining Armour!!

Today was the day when I just stood there,
Waiting for you,
Waiting for you to return to the place where you once stood,
Searching for you,
Searching in the hope to find you still standing there,
Finding you,
Finding you in a place where your kisses still linger on my lips,
I can't see you anywhere,
But you are there, everywhere,
You don't answer when I call,
But your voices echo to my voice call,
You don't see what I want you to see,
But you see things which you want to see,
I speak, you listen,
I speak, you stare,
You listen to the words unspoken,
You stare at the beauty so numb,
You sit with the pride of a lion,
You smile like a prince in his shining Armour,
The beauty of the night,
Shines with your presence in the light,
You are invisible to me,
But I can feel you near me,
You might not always turn up for me,
But I keep waiting like its meant to be,
I have a smile that twist and turn,
You have a laugh which has a deep curve,
I wait for you,
Wait as long as you don't show up,
I sit there looking at the face that stared back at me,
I look at the water swelled up in the eyes,
I just stand there wishing for you,
Wishing that some day you might be the one,
My Prince in Shining Armour..!!

Ramblings of Lifeless Body!!!

You are just standing there,

Looking at the things around you,

Wondering whether they can hear you, 

Or see your smile or your pain,

These things which you see,

Have a life,

The life of their own,

They have their own world,

The world which awakes, 

When we sleep,

The midnight trail which we forget,

They follow,

Follow it to the hollowness of the darkness which prevails,

The silence of the dark,

They are the noise of the period,

They are the ones with eyes wide awake,

The eyes which is cold and numb,

Which conveys nothing but only fear,

The eyes which has the power to speak,

Remains quiet,

The serenity of the night,

Is disrupted by the paranoia of tomorrow's day,

The illusion of night being calm,

Is disillusioned by the uncertainty that it has,

The water seems disturbed,

As if trying to keep shut the devil inside it,

You don't have a clue,

The things we see lifeless,

Are seeing us as lifeless,

We don't always want to hear these things,

But these things are nothing,

But the ramblings of the inner lifeless things..!!
