"Some ships are meant to conquer the ocean"
Intertwined : Part I
Anticipating at the dock,
I stayed twitchy and glum,
Discerning the pranged ship,
I was stormed and numbed
When I was about to concede,
vowing not to sail again,
Scintillating my desires out,
Letting me drown back then
I heard the voice,
and I sensed her presence
She was that embellished breeze,
that rejuvenated my sense
She tranquilized the storm,
and made the ocean halt
and crafted some way for me,
And unlatched my vault
Vault that was a conundrum,
Of memories and my dreams
She made me keep the good one,
And made me forget my screams
She splintered the anchor,
that long enthralled my ship
She covered all the masts,
and enabling it to breathe
My ship has now sailed,
She became my wind
giving me the direction,
And eventually intertwined.. ❤
"And some fail.. but life goes on..."
Intertwined : Part II
You were the wind,
when my ship was sailing
You were directing
without even failing
We tackled storms,
what happened to us?
We were in form,
what is all this fuss?
Splintered anchor is back,
my ship is now anchored
I see no wind
and the ocean unconquered
The vault is opened again
which is still a conundrum
of this disdain memory
and the long lost fun
Who will tranquilize the storm
that once made the ocean halt
I see the fate of this halted ship
was it really my fault ?
I hear no voice
there is no such presence
embellished breeze is gone,
does it even make sense ?
I am about to concede
vowing not to sail again
Letting all my desires out
and drowning in this game
I wish I had anticipated
staying twitchy at the dock
Discerning this pranged
ship I've now hit the Rock
May be...
I'll let this ship drown
it wasn't the black pearl
I'll build a new one
and embrace the new world
I'll be a great sailor
sailing without a wind
Untangling and resolving
what was intertwined... 💔
"And there are times when your heart completely melts"
Melted Hearts
Time slowed, eyes widened
misted over with exuberant smile
A hope in their solitary life
reminiscing once in awhile
A mother in an old age home
hoping not to die alone
A guilt on her son's face
and a trembling voice on phone
A woman whimpering all night
imploring god for her man's life
Critical mission having attained
the soldier returned to his wife.
A child who painted his dreams
in an orphanage for years
Saw his new parents as he turned
slithering away his tears
Pausing his emotion for a second
taking some time to realize
Once unrequited and now marrying
taking vows looking at her eyes
All those who were once desolated
now finding their new solace
They had a burning desire inside
for someone to fill that space.
Their belief wasn't mistaken
happiness rolling down their cheek
A choked voice trying to make
their melted hearts to speak ❤
"Just like how cheese melts over a pizza..."
Pizza
This craving is endless,
I wish I could eat you
I'm hungry since long,
It's time for me to meet you
We are not cheesy,
But what we have is
Every layer of it,
Every bite is a bliss
We both love it,
We both want this
To melt in this heat,
And to indulge in a kiss
All ingredients are ready,
I'm firing up the oven
Let my fingers do the magic,
And feel as if you are in heaven
When my lips touch you,
that ecstasy I feel
Sudden burst of joy,
Better than a Happy meal
Red tomato sauce,
Oregano and chilly flakes
Compliments your beauty,
That takes away my breath
Oh my one and only,
I love you to the core
Nothing else can quench,
I just want you more
If you are the only one left,
And I've nothing left to cry
I would just be glad to stay hungry,
And just hold you till I die.
"And when the 'attachment' starts to grow..."
Magnets
They are those two rivers
streaming freely not knowing
that they will soon be
coalescing in the ocean
They are those two poets
lost in their abstractions
not knowing they'll soon find
their way in each other's balladry
They are those two poles
enticed by their presence
opposite by nature still forming
strong magnetic force of love
They are those two raindrops
which are falling leisurely
on the leaves of a tree
which they will call their home
They are part of a story
which is unfolding the way
its never read, never written
and has no end of its own...
"Unlocking all desires"
Let me write you
Let me write you
With an ink of Love
Let me fire up
Your desires underneath
For you are now impassive
A book never scribbled
Let me scrawl it
With full of zest
Let me love you
Like the valleyed sun
Let the ray shred the cloud
Pinning down your emotions
For you are the ocean, having
millions of sumptuous thoughts
Where the vehemence exists
Let it defeat your nemesis
Let me traverse every page
Every inch of it
Let me adorn the corners
And appraise the beauty of it
Once you are written
The readers will be perplexed
For how sensational
This story is
I'll let you read my mind
I'll uncover you with my words
Let me breathe deeper
And inhale your fragrance
Of all those deadpan pages
Which I'm here to write on
I'll make it as if
It was never written as such
Let me write you
With an ink of love
And Let me fire up
Your desires underneath..
"And when it needs to be revived again... "
Revive
Once which was a wild ride
Its been quite a while
Since she left his side
And he lost his smile...
Punctured soul pumping vein
Dusty heart being mundane
He recalled that crazy night
Sky was black and it rained..
His car undriven since long
His scar didn't heal along
He hoped she'd return someday
Singing his favorite song...
He chose to decide
Not to frown and hide
He turned on the lights
And engine revived...
He drove that night
To bring back what's lost
He didn't care about the rain
He knew what it had cost.
He reached her grave
With flowers in his hand
He knelled and proposed again
He cried and wrote on sand :
"I'm alive but you left
Please come back don't forget
I have loved you since years
Don't leave me with tears
I promise I'll take good care
I'll cherish the love we share
If only a second it would take
For I'll put my life at stake"
Came a voice from his heart
"I never left, you retard
Go back and repair this car
I'm here to heal your scar."
Happy and sad at same time
Knowing she was right
He drove back to his home
Started repairing his car alone
Its been a month now
His car is as good as unchanged
Flashed a memory as he looked
When their eyes exchanged
This car symbolized their love
She met him once in need.
When he gave her a lift
On the rainy night indeed.
Dead are those who don't love
She lived in his memories
He felt loved when he drove
His car, through the trees...
He promised her, he'll stay happy
Her love didn't go in vain
And with roar of that engine
Their love story revived again...
"When you drown in your fiction"
Fiction
Cascading thoughts poured in
Melted by her satin looks
I was sitting on a chair
Reading a fictional book
As she took a glimpse of me
My blood pressure soared high
I had a weird feeling, like,
I was plunging from the sky.
People silently looking at me,
I kept screaming inside.
Just wanted to tell she's pretty
Just wanted to sit beside.
Then I realized
That Oh, she is mine.
Because 'I' wrote that book
And the thought chilled my spine.
She was my imagination
I kept loosing my clarity,
I never knew when it happened
That fiction became my reality
"When you ask if its too late ?"
Its never too late
In a world in which we are
custodian of our rights.
Where half of our experiences
are as dark as bright.
Shallow are our thoughts
not to think so big
For we can have large branches
and just not the twigs.
Think what you could've accomplished
if you didn't complain all along
having the right spirit to conquer
killing your fear being so strong.
Go and live your dreams
Choose love, don't hesitate.
For nothing will stay
except memories that you create.
Everyone pages their journey
I'll write mine so well,
Crying out of joy when I'll have
And a hell of a story to tell.
Its never too late
and Its never too late...
