I the ladder

You have started climbing
I will lead you to the top
Yet, you won't know
how many steps more
you still have to go
till you finally get
where you want
because the top floor here
is unfortunately missing
you have to keep constructing
one by one as you climb up
But don't be proud
of your achievements
or plan to rest on your laurels
if I can lead you to the top
I can get you a great fall too.
I don't know if then
Will you lose your life
or break your leg.

To be or not to be

I fell in love the day I saw you
We loved and fought since then
Yet years later we felt like strangers
We never knew what we wanted
from us, from ourselves from each other
Today we aren't together or want to be
Maybe we do but we don't know if we should.
It's time we hush our minds and start listening to our hearts
The road that leads to nowhere will open new gates to somewhere.

Love

Love is limited to good books
these are called love storys
and I hate love storys
These stories are of suffering
The sufferings that never last
Any you thought love was everlasting?

The Ice age

I look deep in your eyes

and search for warmth

but what I see is cold weather

Why can't your eyes 

turn like the spring sun

and make me feel

what I want to feel

Do I try not hard enough

or do you still want me to 

till when do I wait

to witness the ice age meltdown?

I have lost you...

When you dream
you forget
what you see
is a mirage
u are far away
from what is real

when I fell in love
I failed to see
the danger that lurked
it finally reared its head
and tore my heart
into a million pieces

as blood gushed out
no stitches of wisdom
or band-aid of comfort
could alleviate my pain
it kept flowing
till I was left with none

today my heart is empty
yet heavy with memories
that refuse to die away
and keep haunting my dreams
however the reality is
I have lost you

On a deserted island

On a deserted island I stand, all alone...what I can see is the blue ocean. There is no sign of life till the end of the horizon. Yet I keep checking for clues if I can locate you. My hope turns into despair as every time you appear you turn your back towards me and walk endlessly towards the horizon opposite me. The ever shining sun blinds me as I fight hard to keep visibility of your guild, moving away from mine. I want to run and hold you back, hug you tight, but my legs freeze and I don't make a movement. Tears flow down my cheeks while you keep walking  ahead without looking behind at what you've left or missed. Without any regret or remorse you move on. Alas neither do I see you now nor am I left with the hope to. 

look what you've done...

painful streams flow down my eyes

hurt yet again this heart aches

seeking comfort from someone

who doesn't pay heed

did never and if ever will

is also uncertain

yet like a child 

seeking refuge from its mother

even after being chastened

my heart longs for you

but my signs of agony 

aren't strong enough

to snatch that bandage

off your eyes

off your conscience

to feel my love for you

to see how much I need you

to know what you mean to me
