Love- An Obituary

Love is an emotion
A mixture of Sorrow and Happiness
It is not bound
Nor does it bind
These societal norms that hold us all together
have enchained Love
It is dying
A slow and painful death
I want to write this eulogy to our Love
Before it is too late
Yes it is true that I have loved you
more than anything else
This emotional Roller Coaster
That I ride takes it toll
But Love like a Shining Beacon
Keeps me going
It is a pure feeling that fills my heart
All these tears that I shed are not wasted
I will fight to keep Our Love alive

















No matter how many tears I shed
I cannot wipe this stain called Love
It is always there
A painful reminder
While I am driving to work
At a party, full of Happy People
Unable to handle it
I have decided to kill it
If I don't
I know I will die a slow painful death.
It is a matter of my survival now

I'll never know what You see in Me

I have lived all My Life

Being careful

Dodging all the Potholes

While Out on my Journey

Always afraid I will fall into one

I wish I had done so

I would have learnt

How to crawl out to a new beginning

But here I am

A man with no experience

Leading a protected life

Looking for a safe Haven

And You still want to take me in

Lying

I am Tired
Tired of Lying to myself
And to You
All my life
I have promised
Tomorrow will be a better Day
And Tomorrow has come and gone
Like all those Yesterdays
And Nothing has changed
Now I am cornered
With my Back against the Wall
I know
If I fail to deliver now
We both will be left
Picking up the pieces.

Gravity

If it wasn't for Gravity
The Earth would not revolve around the Sun
And the Moon would not revolve around the earth
It is the same force
That binds Me to You
I revolve around You
And still keep my Distance
Going in Circles
I have watched You
Filled with this desire to come closer
I have been unable to overcome
This force of attraction and repulsion
That keeps me in this orbit
Finely Balanced.

Hope

If it wasn't for the Moon
I will not believe in Love
For the nights would be so dark and Lonely
If it wasn't for the Sun
I will not believe in Hope
For what would show me the Way
If it wasn't for the birds
I will be heartbroken
For I would not know how to fly to you
If it wasn't for the River
I will always give up
For I would not know how to overcome
If it wasn't for Spring
I will always be cold
For I would not know how to melt Your Heart

Blind Love

I often wonder
How would I have loved
if I was born Blind
With nothing but the Kindness of the heart to guide me
The warmth of touch as my rudder
And the sweetness of words as my Compass
Would I have still loved you
Not knowing how beautiful and radiant
Your eyes are
Would it be true love
Inner love
That which comes from the heart
and not swayed by Looks
What would you see
if you were to peer into my eyes then
The Radiance of a Loving Heart
or the Darkness of a Deprived Soul.

Sunday Morning

Dense Fog envelops the World Outside
Everything is still
Trees Look like they are meditating
The air so heavy and Moist
Everything feels weighted down
I want to lose myself
in this Oblivion
With thoughts of You
Surrounding my Heart
Look for me when the Sun Comes Out.

Ear Rings

The Ear Rings
That You are wearing
Sparkle and Shine
With Every Movement of your Neck
Much Like Moonlight
On Gentle Waves
The Beauty of Your Eyes
Mirrors in Them
I stand in a Corner
As I often do
Stealing a Glance at You
Here and there
Some day I am going to walk up to You
And tell You why I do things I do.

Night Out

At the Bar
With women dressed to kill
and Men getting drunk
I am feeling Lonely
I did not come here
to look for You
I came here to forget You
But with each passing moment
The feelings become more acute
Nothing numbs my brain
I close my eyes
and Picture you
sitting across from me.
Go on Piano Man
Drown my ears with music
The night is still Young.

Intimacy

I am waiting
Longing to see the Sparkle in your Eyes
The Smile of your curved lips
And with every drift
The wind carries your scent to me.
Like a rose bud blooming
My heart opens up for you
The sight of you walking up to me
Is what I live for
And the touch of your lips
Is what I die for.

Feelings

You are neither an Obsession
Nor a Compulsion
You are what You are
I could live my life without You
Keep my Distance
And never show it
I will still think of You
And wish you well
I will Smile like when we did together
Pretend I am out on a walk with You
You are neither an illusion
Nor a delusion
I have been with You
You are always with me.

Breaking Free

I thought that my Life has come a full circle
All the dots are connected now
I can start walking the line
But the next day
I wake up and
The Cycle starts again
Instead of straight and narrow
Things go in a loop
I reach out for one thing
And end up with something else
I guess this is the way the story goes
For You and for Me
And as I search
for ways to break free
I look inside me and find
all the freedom I ever need.

Trapped

Zig Zag, Zig Zag
That's the Path my Brain Takes
Trying to inch Closer to You
I know what You will say
Love is always in my Heart
All I need to do is look inside
But I miss the Touch of Your Hand
The twinkle in your Eyes
The smell of your warm breath
These Invisible walls that encase me
I will find a way to break Free
Love cannot be trapped forever.
