Please Stop…!
There is no meaning in it, my mind says
Heart still tries to find something
Why don’t you stop visiting me?
For my heart then likes to cling…
There is no joy now in my reverie
Heart still tries to find a smile
Why don’t you stop looking back?
For my heart then follows your miles…
There is no purpose now in keeping you
Heart still tries to hold & cherish
Why don’t you stop bothering my thoughts?
For my heart then starts to wish…
There is no reality now in you & me
Heart still tries to be hopeful
Why don’t you stop calling out my name?
For my heart then feels a pull…
Please stop to say, or smile or do
Please stop to even look my way
Please stop to even visit my dreams
Just stop I plead, don’t come my way…

BABA – never enough of YOU…!
I look at YOU to my heart’s content
But still, it’s never enough
I chant YOUR name night and day
Whether the going is smooth or rough…
I quench my thirst with YOUR pious name
But still, it never goes
Endlessly I have YOUR sight
It truly ends my woes…
I see YOU here, and I see YOU there
But still, I’m never satisfied
I search for YOU everywhere
In this world so big and wide…
I know YOU are the wirepuller
And nothing is there which YOU can’t do
But every time I see YOUR magic
I wonder how it can be true…
I know YOU me love very much
But every day I want more than before
Please never cease amazing me
For I crave for more and more…

Once again…!
Last night, once again
You came visiting in my dreams
If only I had stretched my hand
I could’ve had your feel!
You were there, once again
As vivid as always
To get over it, and you
It’s going to take me days!
I was wide awake in the dark
Tears rolling down my face
Mind told me it was just a dream
Heart, still looking for your trace!
Whatever it was, that was said
Still lingers in my mind
But to listen to it all over again
I want to sleep and press rewind!
Not knowing the real way ahead
I just let a deep sigh escape
Not looking forward to the might I’ll need
To get back to a normal state!

Everlasting…!
Life with you is like a rollercoaster
And sadly, I don’t like them
Too much at stake when the lows hit
My emotions go into a mayhem…
I tried hard against my might
To not quit and give in to fears
But you defeated me every time
And always left my eyes with tears…
I made efforts to understand
The thrill you get by being your way
But the loneliness which you leave me with
Surpass the joys that you bring someday…
I tried to toughen my weak heart
To handle the pain which comes with you
But the sobs of heartbreak are deafening
The wounds you give are tough to sew…
My heart seeks out the permanent
The comfort of your hand to hold
Not sometimes, but everyday
I want your voice, your sight to behold…
My soul is on a frantic search
For the love that will give me peace
Not fleeting like a shooting star
But an embrace that will never cease…

Love YOU Baba…! ❤️
In moments bright or the darkest nights
In turbulent storms or the calmest sights
When my boat is rocking in crazy seas
When fearful thoughts make my heart go weak
In times of joy or those tearful nights
In the loudest applause or the loneliest sighs
When no one around seems to care a bit
When my stressed mind makes me go in a fitIf I just only look at YOU
I feel love, as pure as dewYOU bring me peace
YOU bring me hope
YOU make me smile
YOU make me copeYOU are my anchor
YOU are my mentor
YOU are my SUN
YOU are my everyone!Love YOU Baba! ❤️

“We do“…!
Who will understand
Probably no one
Why I feel so lonely
After I have your vision…
Who will be able to replicate
The warmth I feel
There is no duplicate
The love there is ideal…
Who will bring that joy
The smile you bring is unparallel
The end to my gloom
Only in your visions dwell…
Who will ever know “us”
There’ll never be a chance
For when we say “we do”
It only just feels, in a trance…!
-
Our love…!
Our love is pure and very true
You love only me & I love only you
Our love is the greatest and very rare
Each word shows joy, each action depicts care
Our love is a gem & totally real
Being together with you seems surreal
Our love is emotion & no pretence
Nothing to achieve, just feelings intense
Our love is exemplary, for everyone to see
As we contently sit, facing the sea
Our love is power & total strength
In good or bad, makes us cross all length
Our love is bliss & needs no proof
In our every move as together we groove
Our love is divine & very soulful
Holding your hand, I get tearful
Our love is a delight, a treat to relish
After a long separation, it is ours to cherish
Our love is a gift & a special reward
No more sorrow when we could afford
Our love is pure & very true
You love only me & I love only you…!

In love with “love”
Be in love with “love”
It’s a feeling so sweet
When you feel loved
Every moment is a treat!
Be in love with “love”
The world seems a paradise
With care and passion
When your days get comprised!
Be in love with “love”
The sweet nothings too
Become so meaningful
And erase all blues!
Be in love with “love”
Together with someone
Dream the would be(s)
For life’s future turns!
Be in love with “love”
And live the joys it brings
For however long it lasts
A merry melody you sing!
Be in love with “love”
It may not last for ever
But its lingering fragrance
In your heart will cease never!
-
Every now and then…!
Every now and then
My heart calls out to you
In my dreams you visit
They seem so very true!
Every now and then
You come and knock my thoughts
Without any warnings
In a different world I’m drawn!
Every now and then
Your name I say aloud
Without any reason
A warmth I feel around!
Every now and then
A smile which comes to me
If I decipher it
It spirals back to thee!
Every now and then
When I crave for more of you
I must tell my ignorant heart
To wait, for a lifetime or few!
-
Why don’t you…!
Why don’t you leave
Why do you visit
When nothing it is that you want from me!
Why don’t you go
Why do you come
When nowhere together we have to reach!
Why don’t you cease
Why do you talk
When nothing there is that you have to share!
Why don’t you turn
Why do you look
When no meaning there is to your glance or stare!
Why don’t you exit
Why do you linger
When together we are not meant to stay
Why don’t you finish – this once and for all
When nothing neither, to the other, has to say…!
-
A special dream…!
I had a special dream
Which gave me a big smile
Your loving gaze charmed me
As holding hands, we walked the mile
I had a special dream
Endless, engaging chit chat
Beautiful places where we met
Talking about our this and that
I had a special dream
The joy which I felt around me
Together perfectly we belonged
Said one and all who could see
I had a special dream
Free from tears, sobs or pain
Nothing in it which I wouldn’t want
Such pleasure from it I gained
The love, the care, the warmth
The comfort and the contentment
The sheer sense of belonging
Waves of bliss to me which it sent…
-
In my world…!
In my world all is good
I live on my terms,
happy as I could…
In my world there is peace
Within and externally
On a steep increase…
In my world relations aren’t fake
Care and caress in ample
Quick forgiveness for mistakes…
In my world there are smiles
Genuine joy and glee
Tears are easily put aside…
In my world there is hope
Homesty is valued
Selfish desires not in scope…
In my world there is togetherness
Building each other
Not lonely hopelessness…
In my world there is truth
No back stabbing
Gentle words that soothe…
In my world there is compassion
Words are understood
Ruthlessness isn’t in fashion…
In my world there is sunshine
Caressing and nurturing
Love for all aligned…
In my world there is knowledge
Empowering one and all
To help all accomplish…
In my world there are prayers
Simple, honest thoughts
Each gets its fair share…
In my world there is love
Everlasting and honest
As pure as the divine above…
In my world there’s us
Living our soulful life
Together, without any fuss…
In my world there’s YOU
My guide, my anchor always
Leading my path all through…

Standing in the shadows…!
I stood there totally unnoticed
While my world slipped away
What strength I showed to be there
How much I had to pray…!
I wanted you to look my way
And realise my love
To hear you call my name just once
Was my wish all above…!
I hoped for things to change their course
What was happening wasn’t right
It was, as if, I was in the midst of a storm
All I could do, was to hold on tight
My heart raced and seemed to explode
Why wasn’t anyone able to hear
The horrendous sound which it was making
My gosh, it was too much to bear…!
Merry words, songs, and dance
Drinks, cheer and smiles
You looked – so, very happy
I shivered there in the aisles…!
How I managed to curve my lips
With my eyes still full of tears
I didn’t want to show me weak
“I’ll cry” – was my biggest fear…!
None there saw my face
No one could make out my exhaustion
Once I was done with plesantries
I retired in my isolation…!
As I looked back I had silently hoped
Atleast then you will ask me to stay
But no, it was not to be
For you hardly looked my way…!
What made me think it was for me
What gave me such false hope
Who was to blame for my broken heart
Why wasn’t I taught how to cope…!
I didn’t know what happened then
For days I hardly tended to self
Though years have passed since
I doubt I have still mended myself…!
What haunts me even now is
Why did you come my way
If you never to be mine
Why my heart had to betray…!
Standing in the shadows then
And watching all the mirth
Robbed me of my smile
Made me doubt my self-worth…!
Standing in the shadows then
And watching me being overlooked
On my tender soul
A very heavy toll it took…!
Standing in the shadows then
And watching you chose otherwise
Broke my heart into zillions
My silly dreams I had despised…!
Standing in the shadows then
And watching those who were mine
Leaving me with daggers
Yet expecting me to be fine…!
Want to leave those shadows behind
Want to disassociate from the pain
For they shouldn’t define me
Why do I need to refrain…!
I am open to my smiles again
No more of this game for me
I am no longer an option
Standing in the shadows – no, not anymore for me…!
-
Reverie…!
Every morning when I wake up
And want to say hello
Every time I have words to say
That I want you to know
Every minute that brings a smile
Only you’ll understand
Every memory which comes knocking
Under your command
Accentuates my yearning
Makes me feel it even more
How very much I miss you
Shocks my very core…! -
You & me…!
Don’t go so far, I need you near
To lose you, is my biggest fear
Hold me close let me hear your beat
In my heart you hold the highest seat
Keep me steady, you’re my rock
Guide me far from all roads block
Let me rest in your loving shade
Only for you has my heart been made
Give me the warmth of your safe embrace
Don’t want to lose sight of your loving face
Stay with me till the end, and forever
Nothing happy for me if we are not together!
-
You keep coming back to me…!
No matter how many years have passed
Or how many more will come
Silently without any reason to be
Your thought comes back to me…
No matter how many faces since
Or how many more I’ll see
Thoughtlessly without any plea
Your face comes back to me…
No matter how many conversations since
Wonder how many more I’ll hear
Creepily in my nothingness
Your words come back to me…
No matter how many more songs
Don’t know how many more melodies
Catching me of guard sometimes
Your voice comes back to me…
No matter how many approvals I’ve seen
Maybe there’ll be more applause
But in all those moments of glee
Your smile comes back to me…
No matter how many tears I’ve shed
Many more heartbreaks I might see
In each of those sighs and cries
Your love comes back to me…
No matter how many lines I’ve said
Many more might flow as sea
Rhythmically, magically
Your rhyme I’ll sing till eternity…

No answer to my whys…!
I saw you there – when you were rushing by
You looked at me and let out a sigh
At first you tried to walk away
But then you turned and came my way
You looked hurt and I know I did wrong
You were angry that I wasn’t strong
Still, you lovingly stroked my hair
I nearly choked for that gasp of air
Tears brimming my eyes I asked how you were
No words, your finger on my cheek lingered
Then you asked – “Wasn’t I your choice?”
“Why weren’t you strong”, you asked in a muffled voice…
My tears by now had smeared my face
I said I was sorry for my fearful ways
You shook your head in exasperation
While still holding my face in desperation
Suddenly then your poise you regained
When you backed off, I almost exploded in pain
“Please don’t go”, I cried out with scare
Not in my senses, of my surroundings I wasn’t aware
The disappointment in your eyes, the defeated look
“You could’ve been mine”, were your words as a step away you took
As if frozen, I saw your retreat
I was to blame for this shattering defeat
You tried to hide those tears of pain
“Take care” you said in a very weak strain
I saw you leave, turning every now and then
Don’t know how long, not sure till when
I stood there with tears flowing by
With no reason, no answer to my whys…
