Empty

I give and I give and I give

You just take, take, take

You give nothing back in return

I am empty

I pour myself out

In poem, song and words

Your lips are tightly sealed

Is your heart stone? 

I never said no to you

You took whatever you liked

I asked you why?

You just felt like it.

When I am silent

Do you care? 

Am I even a passing thought? 

You break my heart.

I try so hard to forget

But I can't. Impossible 

The fire burns

A blazing inferno

Memories left

The roads we walked on

Hand in hand

Have disappeared like

The names written on the sand

The benches we sat on

And talked for hours

Are no longer ours

They belong to others

The stars we stared at

Under the dark sky

Somehow don't seem to shine

So bright as days go by

The words we whispered 

In each others ears

Sharing dreams and

Chasing away our fears

Those words have now

No more sound

 The syllables we uttered

Are nowhere to be found 

Miss.Pretend

I pretend that I am strong

have courage and can suffer long

I pretend that i do not care

what others do or say

I pretend that I can do

anything by myself

That I don't need anyone

to share my joy or pain

But inside me, I'm really weak

and I do need someone to speak

------(Incomplete poem written in 2002)

Standing in the rain

Standing alone today
In the street as it rained
Feeling the water
Tricking down my cheeks and hair

They mix with the tears
Running from my eyes
As I stand there alone
Thinking of the times in your arms.

It was long ago
But still it was yesterday
When you took me in your arms
Before you went away.

We held each other tight
Oblivious of the surroundings
We didnt notice the cool breeze
Run its fingers through our hair

We were standing on the sea shore
The waves lapping at our feet
As you kissed me on my lips..
It started to rain.......

Just like now, the sky cried
It mixed her tears with mine
We stood there together
Until its time for you to go away

Now each time it rains,
I stand outside alone
And wait for the moment
When i can be in your arms again

Give Love

Give Love to Others
Do to them what youwant
Them to do to you
Like waves coming
Back to the Shore,
Your love will come back to you.

Cast your bread upon waters
For you'll find it
After many days
In times when you need some love
You're love will come back to you

Sunset

Look at the Sun set
With colors bright and gay
Sinking down into the sea
At the very end of the day

In orange clouds so bright
The saffron coloured sun
With rays of golden limelight
Seems to be dancing with fun

The birds return to their nests
After a long long day
As the sun sinks down slowly
Into the waters of the bay

Little children go to sleep
As the grey screens of horizon turn dark
The serene sun slowly creeps
And retreats without a mark

Sparkling lights peep from heaven
Silver moon now rides in the sky
Seven stars in the orion
Smile as the seagulls fly

This is one of the first poems I have written.. when I was still in school.

Dont forget me

When you see a lovely sunset
And when the sky is all bright
Or when you see a distant light
Don't forget me!

When you smell a sweet beautiful flower
When you go through a tunnel in a train
When you just want to dance in the rain
Don’t forget me!

When you are tired and lonely
And when you have a sorrow to share
If there is a burden that you can’t bear
Don’t forget me!

When you just feel like talking
When you want to take a long long walk
Or just watch children playing in the park
Don’t forget me!

When you are sitting alone in the dark
‘Coz burnt are all your candles
And so there is a pain that you can’t handle
Don’t forget me!

In good times or bad
When you are happy and glad
Or when you are very very sad
Don’t forget me!

Live for today

Live for today

Don’t care what others say

Cry not for past yesterdays

Worry not about new tomorrows

But just live your best today

In your daily walk of life

You meet many on the road

Some may commend you

A lot more will condemn you

For their sake – don’t change your mode

Just listen to your heart

It’ll always tell what’s right

You need only to follow it

So just live your life to the fullest

and Keep your soul filled with light.
