CHRISTMAS WISH

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
This year beneath your branches, I place hope
For it seems that wishes come true
When placed under your lovely branches

I'll hope, not for a teddy bear or candy
Not for a game or a small puppy

But I'll hope for world peace
I'll hope that love will be the greatest of all
That to war, no man will ever fall
That on faces, there'll be smiles instead
Not just scars, bleeding red

I'll hope for love, I'll hope for faith
I'll hope for life instead of death
I'll hope that a persons first heart beat
Wasn't accompanied by their last breath

I'll hope for religion to create no border
For justice to actually be served in the courts of law and order
That a bombing in Mumbai won't be on the news
That we won't just have to read about feuds
That once in a while, the victim survives
I hope this wish saves all those lives

Santa Claus, this one is tough
But war's been here for too long, and it's enough
Hoping that this wish upon a star
Will prevent and heal these battle scars

REBEL

I sit in front of this page
And write out my worry
The words all seem to come out in a hurry
For they've been on my mind for quite some time
And if they are spoken out loud, I'll be committing a crime

For they are words of hate
They seem to have bad fate
Or maybe, they are words of guilt
Just growing while the number of days have built

And they are trying to climb over this wall
Not knowing the consequences at all

I write on this page
Filled with rage
About the thoughts and words against me
I too am human, I too am free
But I've been shackled up by fear
No one is willing to hear
I speak, but no words come out
I scream! I try to shout
But it's all an epic fail

And so I write on this page
Hoping that people will read
My thoughts? They have now been freed
For they adorn this page like gold
Not caring about the fact that they will get old

I am a rebel, not willing to speak
Yet I write, I write for the weak
For those who have no voice
For those who made that choice
To save their words for those who care
Who choose to embrace this world unfair

I am a rebel, but worry not
For I will never get caught

SECOND CHANCES

I looked down upon the ground
While I stood on the cliff, high
I could almost touch the sky
But no, I had to fly

My heart skipped more than a hundred beats
I just couldn't let go of the ground beneath my feet
Till the wind pushed me

And I fell and I fell, Down into a never ending abyss
Hoping that my wings wouldn't be so scarred
Too scarred to fly, And as time went by
I was wishing that I had jumped on my own
I wish I had used the wings I had grown

But the fallen stars told me different
For they mended my wings
But they left the scars
And they told me, that there was a place in the sky
A place meant for me, when I'm ready to fly

And just like that, I got my second chance
A chance to jump, on my own
To show the fallen stars that I had grown
To rise above the deep abyss

I had lost hope on my scarred wings, but I rose above it all
And only now I realize, it was all because of the fall

PRINCE AND PRINCESS

She was sitting all alone
Under a tree, reading a book
The kind of girl that you wouldn't give a second look

Until there popped a rose, in front of her page
Initially filling her with rage
Then she looked up, to find a strangers face
The most perfect she'd seen in the human race
For his smile lit his face
Brighter than the stars lit the sky
She didn't have the courage to speak,
So she didn't even try

He placed the rose in her hand
Helped her stand
And placed a crown on her head
Not one made of jewels and gold
But one that would fade and grow old
One made just from the blades of grass
With flowers, pink and blue
One that looked like so few

For he saw her soul, he saw her heart
And he fell for her from the very start
And in that moment, she was a princess
In a castle of her own
Not made of bricks, but made of love

And her prince, was right beside
He was there, putting her on a pedestal

SLEEPING AT LAST

You have a headache, and a pain in your heart
It's been there from the very start
The doubt, the regret
You just want to forget
Forget that you were ever a disgrace
Maybe, just maybe win the race

You promise yourself that you'll be the best
You promise yourself you'll do better than the rest
But your heart is too young to understand the value of loss
You are yet to understand that pain...
Pain comes and goes like the rain
But if you ever feel worthless, let me tell you this

You have the courage of a star
You light up the dark with your own tiny spark
You live beyond the hate
Believe that you are great
The universe exists
To feel your footprints
To feel your breath
To let you live beyond your death
Your existence is beautiful

If your pillow is soaked with tears
Then trust me you are brave, for you are human
You feel loss, you feel pain
But like I said, it's like the rain
It is but a storm in your sunny life

So, go to sleep my love
And shine when there's a doubt in your heart
Trust me, you've had that spark from the very start
And when you are sleeping at last
Don't think about the past

You have the courage of a star
And you light up the dark
You have your own beautiful spark

UNSTEADY

I was walking on water
Not wanting to fall
For the fear that I'd fall in too deep
I have no idea how to swim
You've got to hold on to me

The water shook beneath my feet
Each step, I was conquering defeat
Each step a threat, an adventure
But getting me no further

My feet are planted on this unsteady surface
But all I want, is to fly
So how do I touch the sky
When the only thing I see is the bed of the ocean?

It seemed so far off, yet reachable
And so did the stars, and the sky, and all that I knew
All that lived and loved in that sky so blue

Until you whispered to me
Don't fight the flight
And you took off spreading your glorious wings
While my fear of falling in grew
I struggled on my own
Shaking with every step ahead

You flew down, held my hand
And Made me stand
You made me fly, touch the sky
While I told you to hold onto me
Because I was a little unsteady

And you did much more than that

BATTLEFIELD

Soldier or passion?
Is it but not the same?
Fighting for your countries name
For the lives that inhabit that land
They stand hand in hand

So here lies the story
Of a soldier so brave
That his name and glory
Lived beyond the grave

He was young and filled with hope
He was a pure and brave heart
And his only dream was to serve his nation
From the very start

And so he trained endlessly
He possessed quite a will, this one
He would never quit and run
He would stand strong, for long
And when times got harder,
He would dig his feet in deeper
Deeper into his mothers soil
For her, it was worth the toil

And he trained until
There was a " General " in front of his name
Not for the title, not for the fame
But all for his mother

And when this soldier was on the battlefield
Facing obstacles he had prepared to face
His only thought? To save his race
To save his kind, to save his land
To be that helping hand
He was a guardian angel, sent from above
Fighting for his love
And it is nothing but passion that drove him

For when his skin is cut
And he bleeds a blood so red
His country is not dead

For all those lives he saved
For more than a million hearts
He was more than a soldier
He was an inspiration
For an entire nation 

EDITED SCENES

I deleted our pictures
Forgot your number
Erased our chats
And tore your letters .
Those memories we made...
They went too
Everything that reminded me of you
Is now non existent in my life
But my heart?
It has your fingerprints all over it
And you want to know why?
Because you touched me
You touched my heart
And by doing so...
You made it a complete part
But now my heart is no longer complete
And it longs for your touch
It longs for your warmth
It longs to be complete again
But where are you?
You are lost in the distance
So far away I can't see you
So far away that even if I scream
It'll all just seem like a dream
Oh how I wish it was one for me too...
How I wish it was a dream that wasn't about you.

I AM WOMAN

It's not easy being a woman
Being constantly thrown in the critique of society
They clip you're wings, don't let you fly free
They tell us who to be
How to laugh, how to sit, how to smile, how to act
We sit still and look pretty, we don't interact
They tell us how to dress
They say we don't need an education!
But tell me this...
In our lands, Mother Earth
We are the givers of birth
We walk these lands, stripped of freedom
But yet all we do is care
It really is unfair
To be seen as nothing but an object
But I will not let them objectify me!
I will not let society tell me who to be!
We will walk that walk of grace
We will be accepted in the human race
It's not an option,To be treated like a slave
We...we will stand tall and be brave
For we are women
I am women
And although it pains us to walk
With feet so bare
We will move on while you stand and stare
And we will continue to love, for one and for all
And stand up quicker than we fall
Our clipped wings will grow, and we will fly
Watch how we conquer our lands and the sky

THE INDIAN GIRL

Caught in the stares of a thousand men
She adjusted her top
To hide her dark circles from sleepless nights
She covered her beauty in make up
Hearing nothing but whistles while she walked in the night
She walked her fastest with nothing but street lights
And while her friends were only one call away
This is how she felt everyday

This is the sad story of the girls of India today
There's not much we can say!
For we have fought,
For our rights and freedom
But it was never given to us
And now we pay the price.

From an age so young we are taught to feel fear
And it only gets worse year by year
We are taught to go out only in broad daylight
And not venture out in the night

We are told to "dress appropriately"
Wear something that covers your knee
Wear a shirt that covers your full arm
Just to stay away from harm?

But what happened to curbing the ideas of men?
Why Are they allowed so walk free?
Why isn't society,
Telling them who they're supposed to be?

Why can't we point and laugh and stare
Treat them unfair
And make then feel insecure,
Question the existence of their future.

But no, we are not taught to be like that
Instead we hide behind a veil
Almost worse than jail
We let ourselves be ruled by a male

TO BE A CHILD

They laugh, they smile
Their biggest fear is monsters under the bed
They have a sparkle in their eyes
And hope in their hearts
It's a hope that's new
How many of us have it? Very few
They don't doubt, they just do
The only race that matters to them
Is a running race they want to win
The only line they don't want to cross
Is that in which they color in
Not a worry in the world
As it's yet to unfurl
A soul that's innocent, ready to run free
Before being caged by society
How amazing was it to be a child?
Not ever being judged for being wild
Carrying a future on your shoulders
Dreaming away to glory
Believing in things like magic
And the tooth fairy
Not afraid to tell anyone
What you find scary
No feeling of insecurity
Never facing anyone's scrutiny
But the best of all?
Carrying a hope in your heart
I hope that from you it never parts
I hope that your dreams come true
Just keep doing what you do

BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL

The days of racism are done
The days of inequality are done
They days in which the white ruled
And black were slaves is done
Yet, somewhere in America,
There is a man who believes in these stereotypes

While, in other parts of the world,
They stand up not for their color
But for the human race
Not for shame, not for disgrace
They stand for the color of their skin
They may not be white, but who gives a damn?

And so to all those who aren't white,
To all those who flaunt a skin color of their own
You have faced this from a time unknown
And so I will stand up for you

I will say that you are beautiful
In you're own unique way
I will say that you are amazing
Because if the heart you have
If only our eyes saw souls instead of bodies
Our ideals of beauty would be so different 

LA EN FLORAISON RIBBON

And the day began, With our glory on stage
A new chapter, The perfect first page
And while the joy inside could be seen on our face
We hoped to win this race
We slowly counted down the hours
The time till we lit that quadrangle on fire
We would succeed, we would inspire
And finally, the time came, People all around
It was time to conquer our ground
It started off with the dance of the wind
Graceful movements and twirling skirts
Because, of course, they are titanium.
Then came the Chinese ribbon dance
With strength and beauty
They let their ribbons flow free
Mastering an art
They performed with all their heart
And then came our dear panda
Meimei is her name
And gosh does she have all the fame!
And the crowd cheered on
Then came the story of the girl with aids
Is anybody out there?
A victim of the hate from society,
She seeks justice, she wants to be free
And so we accept her, danced with her
With our ribbons we tied many a hand
Helping each other stand
Our very own cancer survivor inspiring all
She definitely conquered her fall!
And at last! The final dance!
The energy, the beauty, the fun!
We cried when it was done
But all everyone else said was "woah"
But then again, that's just PPES-O

FIGHTING FLAME

That might flame that can't be put out
Not bothering to light up the sky
Instead, helping those who pass by
That mighty flame that burns so bright
That not even the wind can put it out
It burns, trusting itself, no doubt
It burns with a flame
That makes you want to try, That makes you believe
That when a star dies, you may take its place
You could be up there in the night
Burning bright
This flame, stands out from the rest
Always wanting to be the best
Lighting up the dark
With just its small spark
And while it did have to fight
It's only aim? To light up our night
The many obstacles it had to face
Would just inspire the human race
The wind had failed, And so it hailed
But the flame still lasted long
Singing it's own song
A song of light, of burning bright
A song that spoke of its might
But finally with one mighty blow
The little flame died down
And it's remains were ash, black like the dark
But It ignited my heart, this little spark

WHY I LET GO

You let yourself go
You were free with me
Almost like you had your own wings
And you wanted us to fly
You held my hand till I was up in the sky
But then, I let go
Because I've always been a bird in a cage
Never that one filled with rage
With so much anger, they let themselves free
That's never who I wanted to be
For in the cage, my heart is untouchable
Away from your soft touch
Away from the marks that you may leave on my heart
This is the only way it will be a complete part
And that's why I let go
Because I'm not ready to handle the pain
I'm not ready to be scarred again
And though you may do anything but scar me
Inside this cage is the only place I'll be free
Free from expectations
Free from limitations
I know, I'm running away
But I will be ready some day
Until then, come back to me
With many an amazing story
Tell me about how it is to fly
Up there in the blue sky
Tell me about the Stars you see
Tell me how it is...to be free

LOST GIRL

While the lost boy flew to Neverland
He was offered many a hand
He flew along the fairies
Growing his own pair of wings
It was his turn to rewrite things
And the man in the moon looked over him
Like he was his own
Brightly in the night, he shone
Leading this lost boy in the darkness.
But what no one knew was that
A lost girl too, looked up to this moon
Hoping she'd find Neverland soon
Hoping that she'd find this land
In which she'd be offered many a helping hand
For she needed to run away from this harsh world
After all, she was just a lost girl.
She was lost, never to be found
At least not on these lowly grounds
But maybe, up there in the sky
Where she could sing and where she could fly
Where she could meet the man in the moon
Where she'd be accepted soon
On her quest to Neverland she was just a lost girl
But her world was about to unfurl
For things awaited her, in her true land
She would join the lost boy, hand in hand
And they would conquer the skies, live by the moon
The stars awaited them, they would be free soon
Just a lost girl wanting to touch the sky
Little did she know, she would soon fly.

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE

While I look at the chat we had
The time says, one week ago
And what happened?
I don't really know
We just grew distant, we walked away
It's something I dread every day
To lose a person without really knowing
And then finally, one day, they're gone
Without a word, they just moved on
Didn't look back to say good bye
Weren't there to lend a shoulder for you to cry
They just disappeared,
Like smoke from the air
Almost like they had never cared
And they strip you of your joy
Used you like you were a toy
And once you broke, left you there
On the ground, shattered and bare
And while you try to find all your pieces
They seem to have been carried away by the wind
And so you're never whole again
And you wait for someone to take away your pain
But trust...now that's a real issue
Because it's not been broken by just a few
And while you try to smile
Your heart knows it'll take a while
And people tell you it's okay to be incomplete
You surrender in defeat
For the world seems to have no sun shine
Only rain from the clouds above
You no longer seem to find love

THE LITTLE PUPPY

It was a cold winters evening
Not a soul outside on the road
I sat by my window...feeling bored
When all of a sudden I heard a Yelp
As though in terror or pain
I was out in a flash, before I heard it again
And there lay a small husky
Looking like it had lost its way
And I knew, I had found a friend that day
One that was loyal
One that loved me beyond belief
One that saw me, and heaved a sigh of relief
One that was always happy to see me
One with whom I was always free
One that was always by my side
Accompanying me through life's ride
I found my self a dog
Mans best friend
To be there till the very end
And I thanked God that day,
There's nothing more I could say
And it was exactly what I expected it to be
Loads of love and care for free
That fluffy friend, that needed support
I found in this person, my dog
And even though he wasn't my entire life
I was his
And that was enough for both me and him

FORBIDDEN BEAUTY

She lurked in the shadows
Not willing to be seen
Not a soul knows where she's been
And while she hid in the dark
Covering her scars from the light
Little did she know
That she was the beauty of the night
While she only saw her imperfections
Her flaws,
Others saw what she actually was
She was beautiful
Perfectly imperfect
And where she walked
She blessed that land
Turning things to gold with the touch of her hand
Bringing purity to a world that saw no light
She was the beauty of the night
Roaming our lands during the day
She was beautiful in a very different way
Her kind of beauty was lost a long time ago
It came from a land that only she would know
A land that existed in a time not known
Where the sun, moon and stars had grown
And there she came to life
And like a shooting star
Landed here, a land so far
And now she's a forbidden beauty
Lost and found at the same time

PICTURESQUE POEMS

TO THE HEARTBREAKERS

Have you ever been trusted with someone's heart?
When they decided that they'll trust you
They left their heart in your hands
And you didn't know what to do with it?
Did you think that maybe if you drop it...
It'll all be okay?
Well you were wrong
You left it broken and bruised, covered in scars
And left it bleeding on the earth
If only it wasn't like that from birth
Broken to begin with, never to be complete
Yet it pumped blood, yet it beat
And maybe it beat for you
But what did you do?
Left it, uncovered on the ground
For anyone to pick up if it was found.
But I have a message for you.
Stop breaking hearts
That were never meant to be broken
These fragile hearts that bless our lands
When they are given to your hands
Hold them with care,
Treat them fair
And then maybe, one day, they'll love you
They will beat for your heart
Till then, don't you dare break it
The pieces will never fit.

COLORFUL WORLD

The world around me
Seemed to be filled with color
From red to yellow to blue
But my world...
Covered in so few
I was stuck seeing a black sky
With clouds that were grey
Each one a rainy day
Till I looked into your eyes
And saw the blue skies
Till I saw your smile, I saw your light
And you lit up my night
You showed me the stars in the sky
You taught me how to fly
You showed me care, you showed me love
It's like you fell from the heavens above
And while I cried, they were happy tears
Those that come out when I no longer see my fears
Because when I'm in your arms
I'm away from harm
All I need is your lovely heart
You gave me a fresh start
You loved me like no one ever has before
You loved me, and much more
And for that, there's nothing I can say
Except for this
Thank you for bringing color to my world
Thank you for believing in this little girl
Thank you for making the music,
For making me dance
Thank you, just for giving me a chance.

STOLE THE SHOW

I was on the stage

Spotlight on me

Emotions running free

The words in my mind

I'm confused, they're hard to find

But I've practiced this so many times before

The words flow from my mouth

I hold the audience, captivated 

The most amazing story, perfectly narrated

And I shiver, half with excitement and half with fear

I seem so lost but yet so near

I'm the Main man, I stole the show

And the audience claps, as if to let me know

And so my heart beats faster

Tears collect in my eyes

I feel on top of the world 

Like I'm flying in the skies

And while my feet are planted on the ground 

This feeling, it cannot be found

It's one that I've never experienced before

It's happiness and much more

It makes your heart beat fast

You have flashbacks to the past

Almost like you could die

But the height you reach is scary

Unless you're ready to fly

To touch the stars in the sky

To leave that heart of yours on the stage

And no longer be the bird in the cage.

THE LEGACY

He made me smile
He made me laugh
He made me cry too
But they were mostly tears of joy
He wore my scars as his own
And because of him,
My light shone
I had a heart of glass
And he never dropped it
That's because I was the light
In his night
I was the smile upon his face
I was his "person" in the human race
And throughout my life
He held my hand
And beside me he would stand
He would wipe away my tears
And protect me from my fears
Pick me up when I fall
He was my one. He was my all
Literally till death do us part
He made up half of my heart
And one day I looked at him said
I can't live in this world without you
If your not here with me
I'll let my soul free
And I'm pretty sure it'll chase after you
Because that's what I'd want it to do
He looked me straight in the eye and said
Follow me till we reach the clouds
And like souls meant to be
We will build our castle among the stars
And Love will be our legacy.

UNIQUE FLOWER

I wasn't going to be just any flower
Where I bloom
There I'd bring hope
I wasn't going to be picked by a hand
I'd dig my roots in and stand
Stand against the wind that tries to blow my petals
Stand against the rain that falls on my leaves
When the skies and clouds grieve
The earth would smile, through my beauty
I'd adorn many a head
As a crown of life
Instead of diamond necklaces and rings
I'd adorn many things
And if you loved me, you'd let me grow.
And when the day comes when I whither and die
Just tell me that you won't cry.
For I grew so much because of your love
And the sunshine and rain from the heavens above
I'll return, to our lands, to Mother Earth
Ready for another birth

REJECTION

The invisible tears in my eyes
The broken smile on my face
Feeling worthless
Very much out of place
Confidence at an all time low
The tears just seem to flow
An already aching heart
Is breaking, falling apart
While I watch others
Do what I love to do
It all just seems so hopeless
And while I gave it my all
I guess it just wasn't good enough
And I lie here, defeated, on the ground
Waiting to be discovered, waiting to be found
And the broken smile on my face
Reassures many a heart
It doesn't hide the fact that I'm still falling apart
That I'm feeling hopeless
Like I'm about to cry
And I can't reach the top
No matter how hard I try
I'll always be a backup, a nobody
Never the main man in the team
It makes me want to give up on my dreams
And so the tears collect in my aching heart
There seems to be no finish to my start
But I guess I'm already there
Broken, bruised and treated unfair

PAINTING OUR LOVE IN THE SKY

Tonight with your love
I'll paint the starry sky
I'll paint the galaxies I see in your eyes
I'll paint the stars
With your smile in my head
And picture us using
The clouds as our bed
Where we rest and have the stars as a view
It'll be a view like so few
And I'll paint the rain
So it can wash away the earths pain
I'll paint it all, I'll paint that sky
But I want you to know why
Because the sky is infinite
Just like my love for you
Because the sky has those stars
And I have one when I'm with you
Because I could get lost, watching the night
Because that moon is like you, a giver of light
Because if you ask me,
I'd put our love up there in the sky
For all to see, untouchable as time goes by
And they may point and stare
And think that life's not fair
Because I felt a love like never before
And they all want the same or more
And that's why I'll paint us up in the sky
untouchable, we'll live on as time goes by
Eternal like those stars, is my love for you
I'll paint us purple, black and blue

MY BEST FRIEND, MY DOG

You marched your way in to my heart
Of me, you will forever be a part
I held your paws
While you held my hand
You gave me the courage to stand
You licked me, bit me
All so I could get stronger
And you made place for me
In your small, perfect world
I almost lost you the other day
I thought I didn't have enough words to say
I couldn't imagine the world that way
But you're my fighter
And you stood your ground
The best dog I've ever found
Dear furry friend,
I'll love you till the very end
And after that you'll live on in my heart
Because you complete me, my best part

THE FINAL MOMENT

I sat under a big green tree
The clouds up in the sky
Running away from the sun
The stars unseen, waiting for the night
When it's their turn to light up the sky
And while I sat there,
Mesmerized by nature
A small leaf came twirling down
Landed in front of me, on the ground
And that's when I thought
That leaf has been on that branch
For most of its life.
Did it have the most fun it's ever had...
Moments before it was going to die?
And then I realized,
Its not about the end,
It never is.
It's about the moments
You lived till the end
It's about the friends
Who were with you till the end
It's about the tears
You cried till the end
It's about the fears
You overcame till the end
It's about how happy you were till the end
Not about the unspent money you worked hard for
Not about the number of cars you had
Not about having a mansion as a house
It was about losing till the end
But winning the smaller moments
And absolutely owning your final moment

THE LOVE OF AN ANGEL

I loved you for all your flaws
I loved your crooked smile
Your broken heart
And your incomplete soul
In fact, I think I made you whole
But for all of this, what's the repayment?
You dragged me through hell
You took my heart to complete yours
I let my soul free and you caged it for your own
But my dear,
My oh my are you under estimating my power!
Do you have any idea how difficult it is
Be be in hell and still love,
And still look at the stars above?
Your darkness can never over come the light
Your soul cannot be completed
And neither can your heart
For I am an angel
And you...a devil
Your heart and soul need the same kind
So I suggest you go look in hell
While I fly to the the heavens above
And I suggest you stay there
For not all in life is fair
And that's why, you're burning in flames of hate
While I'm at heavens gate
You're blood is no longer red
You're as good as dead
I tried to love you, I really did
But I guess you don't deserve
The love of an angel.

BROKEN

"I love you"
She uttered the words
from those beautiful lips
I wanted to hear it
Again and again,
Like a tape recorder on replay
But thoughts occurred to me...
She never looked me while saying it,
She never smiled
I couldn't see it in her eyes
That sparkle that's there in mine
When I hear her name
It was missing from her eyes
Almost like she gave those stars to the skies
I'd like to think it was to light up my night
But somehow, it doesn't seem bright
For those words...
They were broken
They were a broken promise
Made to an insecure soul like me
How was I to let myself free?
I'm surrounded by things...broken
Broken promises, broken words
Broken smiles, broken hearts
Just a lot of broken parts...
And I don't know how to fix it.
These were made on the grounds that
They'd fix someone, something, anything!
But when I think about it...
They're the ones tearing things apart
They're the ones breaking hearts
And so I lie here,
trying to put these pieces back together
But I guess they don't fit.
So I lie here, broken.

PICTURESQUE POEMS

VULNERABLE ROSES

I sat by myself outside
Letting the wind play with my hair
The sun stared at me with its powerful glare
And my thoughts ran free
Like the clouds in the sky
My thoughts ultimately came to this
In life, we are all roses
Waiting to bloom,
Waiting to be smelled
And be the sight of beauty in this world.
But what about those that come to us
Just to pluck our petals?
This is the same as being vulnerable.
We choose who breaks our hearts
We choose who we belong with
But the other might not do the same
And so we feel we lose at this game.
It's called love.
But if you've noticed,
Every rose has many a petals
And just because one is plucked,
It does not lose its beauty.
In the end, we all will whither and die
But what counts is the try.
The try to be something different
The try to be what's expected of you
But with your own glow
The try to be the one rose
That's chosen from the bunch.

BLACK SOUL

My soul is black
No.
Not because I'm depressed
Not because I'm in love with the dark
But because nothing can change me.
If you realize black is a color
That remains unchanged
Add red, add blue
Add green and another few
But black remains black.
Except for white....
That's a whole other story.
For white is the color of the pure
Why is it pure?
It lets all other colors shine,
Whilst it's always in the background
And that's why...
That's why when my white comes along
I don't mind becoming a dull gray
I don't mind at all...
For I know along with the white
Comes that solidity that I'm looking for
There's something about black and white
Together, that creates perfection.

Shades of gray will be my life
And I don't mind that at all.

THE MAN IN THE MOON

Stolen tears, Broken dreams
Pixie dust all over the floor
I honestly can't try anymore
While I sit here,
Mending my broken wings
I stare at the moon in the sky
Wanting to just fly
To escape reality
To escape time
To maybe just explore myself
Before someone else does it for me
I wanted to go and visit the man in the moon
For I know he won't be leaving soon
He sits up there and watches the stars
Counting them, touching them
Getting their magic glow
And sprinkling some on me below
He comes down, Carried by the wind
And takes me way up in the sky
And while he flies, he holds my hand
And I watch as I say goodbye to my land
And while I knew I would miss the familiarity
He told me I was worth so much more
And so he mended my dreams
Wiped away my tears
Helped me overcome my fears
And there I was born
Up in the sky, along with the stars
A place I can call home.

ONE SIDED LOVE

It started off with a daily hi
Then it went to late night talks
Dreaming about late night walks
Under the starry sky
We both promised to try
Love was in the air, you can say
And we both knew that one day
The most perfect place on earth
Would be in each other's arms
Away from the worlds harm
But that never Happened did it?
Our love just faded away
Like when water is added to color.
It was there, it was existent
But I couldn't feel it anymore
My heart, my soul grew sore
All I felt was the pain
Of losing a loved one again.
I cried to my aching heart
As to why I was always torn apart
By those who I thought loved me
By those with who I thought I was free.
I guess I just cared too much
And you didn't at all
I guess I dreamt about you in my sleep
I guess I thought you were one that I'd keep
But now from a distance I look into your eyes
And they look like the cloudy skies
No more with that spark I fell in love with
You're letting go of me,
And I'm letting go of you.

PICTURESQUE POEMS

TO THE DIAMONDS IN THE SKY

As a small girl
I sat, feet together, Hair tied
Looking neat as ever.
I played, but gently. It was easy being a girl then.
And now when I look upon those easy times
Tears fill my eyes
As a part of my heart and hope dies
For I am that inferior, Looked down upon
Frail image in the mirror,
Whom everyone is free to judge
Whom people put to death
Taking a life's last breath
Because their baby is a girl
And what of my existence if
My sole purpose in life is to please the other gender?
But....Just what if I don't do that?
What if I tell you that I am the giver of birth
The one from which blessings of this earth come to life
The one who helps make this a place worth living in
What if I stand up and say
To all of society that expects something of me everyday
I say NO
I say you can't create my image for me
You can't prevent me from being free
I have my own wings
And I think it's time I fly
To a place up there in the sky
Where I have FREEDOM
A place that's proud to have me.
A place I can call home.
Girls, you are diamonds in today's skies
Just let yourself sparkle as bright as you can

WALKING AMONG THE CLOUDS

Oh darling,
I lost you
And so did this world
You made your mark from the very start
Your angelic presence was always felt
But...it's time to say good bye
Now that you no longer tread the earth
And that your soul is free
Now that you don't walk upon our land
And now that you can no longer hold my hand
Can you do me a favor?
When you're up there among the clouds
Can you touch them, Hold them in your hands
And comfort them when they're about to cry?
Touch the stars , Be among them
And when you get the chance
Give me their light
Fly to the moon
And sprinkle the moon dust on me
And every time It rains...
Promise you'll be looking down at me
Smiling with those pretty eyes
And I'll look at those beautiful skies
A true place in which you belong.

TO THE DREAMER

This is to those who dream
To those who make this world a place
Filled with hope
To those who make the impossible , possible
To those who dream beyond their capacities
Just because it's fun
Here's to the the dreamers
The first ones on the moon
The first ones to touch the stars
The first to love something you can't touch
And dream about such.
Here's to the imagination
That actually turned out to be true
For normal people like me and you
The dreamers,
Not just at night
But even in broad day light
Staring at the cloudy skies
They see beyond the normal eyes
They're the princesses in fairy tales
The frogs who turn into princes
And the little creatures
That carry pixie dust.
Becuase for them,
Seeing is deceiving
And Dreaming is believing
For they live in the skies
Among the stars and the clouds,
With the heavens as their view

BEAUTIFUL MESS

You know...
In a clutter of things,
It's really hard to find what you're looking for
But that's the beauty. In a morning sky
With the sun rising in it
All you can see is the perfect picture
But does it consist of just one color?
Is it all perfectly aligned in straight line?
Does it seem like it's fine?
No. It's a mess.
It's a colorful, chaotic sky
And that's why it's beautiful.
The same can be said for the setting sun
For when that time is done
All you can see is a canvas painted black.
Oh the rough sees with shades of blue
The shades of green on leaves with morning dew
But best of all...shades of her.
She is a sea.
She is the leaves.
She is the chaotic sky.
She's a mess, but she's perfect like that
One strand of her hair stands weird
Her dress fits her imperfectly
Her mascara is thicker on one eye
But that doesn't stop you from drowning in her eyes
That doesn't stop you from dancing with her
Does it?
No for she is an angel
And in front of her, we all demons
And which demon wouldn't want to dance with an angel?
Exactly.
Get absorbed in her mess, don't try and clean it up
For then the beauty is lost.

PUTTING OUT THE FLAMES

Before a few months ago
I had never heard anyone greet me by saying peace
But now when I think of it...
It's actually very much needed
Say peace how much ever you want
At the start of a conversation
At the end of one too
Between anything you may do
Because all those behind heavens gate
Can see the world burning in the flames of hate
What joy is found in taking ones life?
Is it pleasure or guilt?
To destroy all the homes built
To create among people a sense of fear
To make them feel loss, cry painful tears
To say it all in the name of God
And call everyone else a fraud
Who are you to take all the shots
On what's right and what's wrong
Who are you to declare war
On a place that just found peace
Who are you to take millions of lives
And claim it as a sacrifice
Who are you...
Just who are you
Hiding behind that damn mask
So not one knows your identity
Covering your face
Because you know you're a disgrace
Well I'll tell you this now, Walk away
For there will come a day
When peace finally wins
And when that day comes
All those who tread upon this land
Will walk together hand in hand

NATURES MASTERPIECE

Have you even noticed
How many instances of love we see in nature?
We see how dearly that stars love the night
Because when it's dark, they spread their light
We see how dearly the sea loves the shore
Sharing it's water and much more
We see how moon loves the sea
Kissing it before it takes its place in the sky
We see that the moon
Makes the ocean sway and swoon
We see how the clouds chase the sun
Even though she's already gone by
We see how the wind plays with the leaves
Making them dance with joy
We see that the sun loves the moon so much
That it sacrifices itself every night
While still spreading its light
We see how much the the trees love the ground
Trusting them with their roots, their life
We see that love is present all around
From the sky to the ground
And in our hearts too, can be found
It's just maybe we need to dig a bit deeper
Swim to the bottom of our hearts
And unlock this cage to let out the love
After all,
We too are mother natures creations
We are each a master piece
On show to this would of ours
We hold within us special powers
Power to love beyond belief
Power to care beyond our capacity
Power to be free
And to be the best creation we can possibly be

ERASED BY TIME

When time moves on
So do you
And all the things that made you smile
And all the things that made you laugh
They all just seem to fade away
It's just like, on that one day
When you open your memory book
And you try to take a look
It's all incomplete
It's like we each have an ink pen to write with
That fades away after some time
It's like the pages are meant to be filled
But you don't get to choose what stays
You don't get to choose those days
You don't get to choose if it's happy or sad
Whether you were anxious or mad
It all just disappears
Along with those silent tears
Along with those lost fears
It all vanishes into thin air
And no matter if we think it's fair
Life really doesn't care
For time has moved on
And so should we.

THE CONCRETE JUNGLE

   I woke on a footpath
   The hard concrete under my body
   The sunlight was creeping in...
   I opened my eyes and saw that I was in a jungle
   A concrete jungle.
   The buildings towered over me
   I felt like a caged bird, never to be free
  And while I searched for just a sign of life
   I found none
   Not even one
   And I felt like a prisoner who forgot
   To escape on the only boat we found
   And so I sat on the ground
   And stared into blank space
   Wondering if this was the end of the human race
   I got into a building
   And I locked out the day light
   And created an artificial night
   Might as well, seeing that everything around
   Ruined Mother Nature, the ruler of our sacred ground
   I thought about when I could see the blue sky
   But that's a time that's already gone by
   I thought about a time when grass was green
   And a dull gray wasn't the only color seen
   When the wind would play with my hair
   And we wouldn't fight for clean air
   But hey! We've had our chance of fun
   And now that time is done
   For we ruined what we got from the earth
   We took our mothers last breath...
   And that lead to her death.

THE SILENT CRY

There's a kind of lost
That's like being found...
But what if I'm not found?
What if I get lost?
Lost among my own thoughts
Lost among my fears
Drowning in my tears
Air, a rare commodity
For the water fills my lungs
And suddenly I'm taking in my last breath
And the last step is death
What if I get lost...
What if there's no hand
To pull me up and help me stand
To tell me that I'm worth it
Worth anything...
Can no one hear me cry?
I cry for help all day
Because I can't find my way
I'm lost.
Someone put me in a cage
And threw the key
They cut off my wings
And now I'm no longer free
This cage...it's sort of like my heart
Solid on the outside but empty on the inside...
And not a person wants to make me whole
I guess I'll befriend the moon
And the stars of the night
Though they can't hear me cry...
My silent cry.

OVERCOMING THE DARKNESS

The night.
My enemy, my friend
My companion
Lend me your ears
I come to tell you about my problems
Listen, and help me
You are the cause of my fears
Yet you wipe away my tears
You wrap me in the blanket of the dark
And on my soul you have left your mark
But why then, do I still fear you?
I think it's because of the love
You share with the thoughts in my head
The ones that come when I'm lying on my bed
The ones that make me want to scream
The ones which I wish were just a dream
Oh silent night!
Why must you creep in to my thought
The ones which I have always fought
Why must you come and vanquish my light
Only during the darkness of the night?
I feed you my silent tears
My ever lasting fears
And yet you decide to chew on my soul
Which, to begin with, was never a whole
Please, leave me all alone
I'll face this world on my own
But I'll face it like the stars shining bright
Putting out the darkness and spreading light
I'm warning you, fear me
Run at the thought of my name
For I will put the light in your eyes
And you will forever remain  in the skies

THE LOST STARS

There are certain people
In this world of ours
Who we consider to be stars
Not because they look good
Or act well
But because they shine bright
And spread their light
They're like a moon in the night
And we often think about one thing
Death.
Why is it that those who are loved the most
Are the first ones who are lost
Why are the good often taken away
And why is it that we have no say?
It's a part of the journey
Life and death
Any moment could be your last breath
But these stars that get taken away...
You won't find them any other day.
For these are the treasures
Of the heavens above
Who come down here
To spread their joy and love
It's the oldest story in the book
That the heavens are in love with their stars
And so no matter how far
They pick them up from among the crowd
So they can rule from the skies and clouds
For these stars are not just balls of light
They don't just show us the right
They are future Angels
They put the stars in our eyes
And then they look after us from the skies

THE HIDDEN MASK

When we were kids
We smiled and laughed
More than we cried
We lived and loved on the outside
More than we resided in our minds
We shared, we cared
And at that point life was fair
Till we were handed this mask...
At that point of time you might have just thrown it
It probably collected dust in the corner of your room
Until you found the need to use it
To hide the tears you cry every day
To show people that you smile anyway
Even though it's fake...
To be what society expects you to be
Even though your soul is meant to be free
You caged it up and threw the key
And when you desperately search...
You don't find it.
And it's not like anyone's gonna help you
So when you're given this mask,
Throw it, instead of the key
Let your soul roam free
Take your mask and let it shatter
That's the last thing that should matter
Show society your real face
Inspire those of the human race
If you don't take the chance now
You are a lost cause
Because the world will never pause
You will NEVER be a disgrace
So hide this mask, not your face

LOST WINGS, GAINED HOPE

She took off my halo
And gave me a book
She trimmed my feathers
Cut my wings
And gave me legs instead
I asked her what to do with them
And she said run
And so I ran...away
I ran from the place I'd call hell
Looking for a place called heaven
Little did I know, it was not on earth
I ran, till I reached the end of the road
And wondering what to do
I looked below to find I was on a cliff
And even though the question was in my mind
The reply came from the heavens above
Fly.
But how was I supposed to?
When all life gave me was wings
And all I could do with them was fly
What was the point in cutting them off
And then asking me to try?
And so I screamed to the heavens above
That all's fair in war and love
And right after that they sent down rain
Like it was supposed to wash away my pain
But after the storm, after the wreck
After the chaotic sky
Out came a rainbow
Like a passerby
And just as I had lost hope
Just as my flame was about to die
The heavens above whispered something again
They told me to believe I can fly...

ANGEL AND DEVIL

There's nothing more common
Than when opposites love each other
When the dark loves the light
When the wrong loves the right
When the darkness loves the fire
When a need is a desire
But not a thing is as pure
As when the devil loves an angel
The flames of hell rise
As the cloud of heaven cries
What rules in hell is hate
While in heaven, it's fate
When the good and the bad merge
All hell breaks loose, literally
All love is blind they say
But not a person is prepared for this day
A day in which the Angel falls
Not down to earth below
But she falls in love.
The devil might protect her
But all he does is spread fear
Causing us to shed many a tear
While the Angel cures grief
It lasts for a moment so brief
For the pure heart of the Angel we love
Has been burnt by the flames above
Slowly spreading, taking over her soul
She has been fooled by nothing but a ghoul
But as her feathers turn black
And she is lost in his evil eyes
All you can hear
Are her painful cries
But her heart went out to the devil
For all he knew was evil
She now knows how chaotic it can be
When those of heaven fall in love with hell
All it led to
Was a chaotic sky
And a merciful cry
