Priceless presents

What should I give you
I don't possess anything
Can not promise the world too
Cause that is something i cant bring

I do have three objects
Three that are really close to me
They may not be perfect
So I present them as they may be

First I give you my soul
I know its broken
And can not be made whole
But it can always mend
And if love is poured on the holes
We can make the pieces blend

Second i give you my heart
Covered by ice for years
Kept aloof and apart
I know it is hard and fierce
But don't be hasty to discard
Your warmth, given with such ease
Can sweeten this bitter tart

Third is what identifies me
And all that is mine
But my love if you agree
It is what offers you my life
Though it can not give you
Money, power or fame
I still ask if you'll give me you
And take this third object- my name

Who's God

A child crying alone
its all so dark
and everyone has gone
whom to call
whom to rely upon
then somebody comes in
and lightens his abode
he thinks to himself
is this the god??

A boy writing a paper
as he proceeds
his heartbeat goes quicker
looks through every question
but not all answers flicker
still thinking very hard
but as answer gives a tiny prod
he looks up and thinks
is this the god??

A man looking at his beloved
lying on the gurney
his hopes beginning to shred
he wants somebody to hold
somebody who will ease his dreads
someone comes and does so
as his heart is about to explode
he looks at him and thinks
is this the god??

An old man dying
he wants his pain gone
he just cant stop praying
he wants an end...
an end to the burning
his heart makes its last beat
and as his hands go cold
he looks up and thinks
is this the god??

I will return

A tingling near my eye
tells me I am about to cry
my breath stuck in my throat
nowhere do my thoughts float

Till the horizon my sight following
I could see that place shrinking
Clutching my chest
not to scream I tried my best

I settled down on my place
mind still frozen with their face
Tears streaming silently
they hugged me eventually

Their words burnt in my memory
"where ever you are, we also will be"
Could not form words then,
I smiled to say i understand

Now dat i realize how far
how long, how apart
I know I will miss them
so I looked out of the window again

I promise to never forget
you'll be in my every second
I promise as soon as I am done,
its to my home that I will return.

What its like being a loner

i saw her sitting alone
absorbed in her own world
why is no one there
is she a goner??
no, she is just a loner...

she looked up
and saw me observing
slowly her lips curved into a smile
but i was thinking all this while

why is her smile so forced
does she hate me to be here
does she want to be alone??
even the thought i could not bear

i started walking away
"wait" a cry came my way
i stopped to turn around
and this time i saw her eyes
and they got me dumbfound

i smiled at her and said bye
but i am still thinking
why does she matter to me
whoever she may be??

i wake up from sleep
that's when i started to weep
her eyes....they were so empty
it was such a pity
that they had to be so sad
was being a loner so bad

i washed my face
and looked at myself in mirror
i searched my own eyes
can i be her??

"hey idiot" i hear them shout
"what are you doing...is everything alright??"
there faces full of concern
erased all my questions

looking at my friends
i can see the light
what was i thinking
what was i searching
they are here as always
there shine hides my greys
now i do not fear
you see i am no longer a loner...

My angel

Opened my eyes
and saw that face
it was full of beauty
it was full of grace
seeing her, i still feel this way
god hasn't made a similarity till date

till date, she has the happiest features
how can one hurt this creature
her eyes literally glow
seeing them still fills me with hopes

hope, not to be rich and blah blah blah
hope rather to shine like a star
not for me myself
this is for some1 else's well

well, she did always teach me
that u should believe
in the goodness of the world
even if it sometimes hurts

it hurts to see her sad
it feels joyful to see her glad
she is so connected to us
that none can gain higher trust

trust me, she is an angel
and came into my life like a miracle
she is more than what u discover
she is world's best sister
know it sounds cheesy
but i don't have any words for "didi"
she is just so good and nice
she is my light ever since
i opened my eyes.

To: Ma, thanks for believing in me

Whenever some1 laughed on me
whatever may the reason be
my heart would crash
I so used to feel like trash

But you were always there
wiping my tears
silently reassuring
always saying
"baby you are the best
don’t worry about d rest
they are just jealous of you"
and changed my view

I always used to fall
sometimes I also failed
it would bereft me of any hope
gosh! I felt like such a dope

And you were still there
holding me up with all your care
you made me see the sky
you actually believed I could fly
seeing your eyes full of faith
my fears I would shake
you dragged me out of that blue
and changed my view

I used to remain invisible
so knowing me was not so feasible
nobody would see what I am
they believed in my sham

But you were never fooled
see, it was a world you ruled
you knew me inside out
knew my laughs and my pouts
knew what i wanted
so whatever i flaunted
you made me see what’s true
and changed my view

There are moments
when i am scared
there are moments
when i want you to be here
i wanna talk to you
i wanna tell you all my worries

Even though you are not here
i know you are with me
wherever i go wherever i be
you take my tensions away
you always make it seem like a play
with you i feel so close to home
wish there was some way
to say how much i love you mom.

The concept of "we"

I still remember
the day you came into my life
till then it was all about me and my
but you cared for me and i copied
creating, the concept of "we"

we would always be together
through every kindda weather
holding hands, listening to one another
being as close as could be
building, the concept of "we"

but when the clouds flew away
sun shone through the day
closeness was irritating
the hands became sweaty
weakening the concept of "we"

we needed each other
as badly as possible
i moulded myself, i complied
seeing your eyes filled with light
i could sense the victory
in saving, the concept of "we"

but now when i look at you
your eyes are frowning
your voice is close to loathing
you dont like me expecting
blurring, the concept of "we"

baby i am still waiting
my arms are wide open
i will change every hair
just for you to stay here
why cant u see me
holding on to, the concept of "we"

you think me to be mean
and i am done avoiding
as tears rolled down my cheek
through blurred eyes i see
you inching away from me
erasing, the concept of "we"
