The Road I Travelled With You

  The road to my dreams, the story I sought,

Had chanced upon your lane, asking for directions.

You, in turn, gave me a character;

Not to tell a tale, but to keep in my heart as well.

With You, the roads looked longer, conversations meaningful

My purposes were clear, heart rejuvenated.

I did not mind the routes now, I trusted you.

I believed you would lead me to a place, where I would find myself.

I knew You would leave, sooner or later.

You and I were never meant to be.

But I wish the journey could be neverending,

Not wondering what could have been,

What should have been and never will be,

Ever.

A Tree's Story

 A wounded bird away from its flocks, 

On a snowy night right by the dock, 

Broken wings, unsure dreams, 

Your eyes like beads, of brownish hue,

I found you shivering without a clue.

And without a thought, right or not, 

I had offered you a home;

A temporary stay, a guest anyway

You were meant to leave one day. 

Yet my heart fluttered like my leaves, 

My branches danced, petals showered romance

I hopelessly fell in love with you.

You sang in the springs.

Danced in the rain, 

Let the autumn fall make a cosy bed.

And then your migratory friends arrived,

It was time for you to leave me behind.

A story of the past, adventurous and not to last. 

You flew away to your flocks.

Flawed

In the end, all that matters is 

Who stays patient in your worst days, 

Holds on to your flaws, 

And where it all stands 

When you don't try to make everything perfect!

Warrior Heart

The darkest night, the purest soul, a warrior heart, full of hope.

Only If...

If You were the Sunflower, stuck to your roots,

Wishing to soar high, not afraid to lose.

If I were the Sun, carefree and ignorant,

I do what I do, never noticing you.

Then one day, I stopped on my path, it was half past noon

What if I chanced upon you, almost like a boon?

Would I have held on or let you go?

Knowing that your death resides in us, not life?

For you would have seen how I burn, every moment

Every day, giving hope and light, like a candle burning itself

Perhaps you would understand, why we weren't meant to be

Maybe we were the story that never should be.

If I were the Sunflower, stuck to my roots,

You are my sun, miles away in pursuit.

I follow you around from dawn to dusk,

Knowing that you perhaps don't notice me

Doesn't make me regret it much.

I care not for a story to tell, nor for a perfect ending I pray

My love for you is not to impress,

But I will keep trying till you acknowledge.
