Sometimes we try running away from things that mean the most to us...probably because we are afraid to lose them forever! We get so tied up trying to live up to the expectations of society that we start ignoring our own self...just because we want to be socially acceptable...just because we are too scared to stand up for what we hold precious!

I wait in the cold embrace of the night...the moon light falling on my empty bed! and i wait for his voice to fill me...to leave no space for anything else...anything at all! He acts as if he doesn't care...as if nothin matters...but his eyes betray him...they betray him all the time!!!
How i want to tell him all that he means to me...but i don't want him to vanish into the night! How i want to let him know that he is all i have! how i want to call myself his...how i want to tell him that i belong to him! that i am no one wthout him! every night when that fills me up for seconds...i wnat time to freeze...i want God to watch...the mingling of two souls that are ordained to live alone...to die alone...

kaise kahen key humey bhi jaagti raatein mili
unko toh yehi shikwa hai key humein neend kyu aati hai
- Shakeeb

As I see the sun drown into the horizon,
Leaving behind the tiny specs of pink in the sky,
I drink the last remains of red,
Its beauty mesmerizing me…I sigh!

A thousand thoughts enveloping my mind,
A thousand memories to cherish,
A thousand things that I wanted to tell you,
But I wish there were another thousand till I perish.

I remember the first time your voice I had heard,
It still echoes in my head.
And the time when you had said you love me,
O I can die to hear that before I am dead!

The feathery wind touches my face gently,
And it reminds me so much of you.
Your touch, your breath, your gentleness,
And of all the times I had spent with you!

I remember the moments of pain and despair,
The day you walked away,
I too wanted you to find love, my love,
So couldn’t possibly ask you to stay.

And the nights of emptiness I have spent
Trying to forget you,
Trying to believe my love didn’t exist,
Trying to believe I didn’t love you.

But today I no more fear myself, my love,
For no more shall I be,
Dust to dust and ashes to ashes…I shall go
But my love shall be with you even after me!

As I close my eyes in silence
I feel you wrap your arms around me,
And you know what, I am scared no more,
And never will I be!

I can feel your body embrace me,
Your lips sealing mine…
I can feel you breathing into me,
Unbound by space and time!

If this is the end, tomorrow shall be a better day,
This moment has at last taken my breath away!


Somewhere far away, a stray tear trickles down
Unaware of its reason of being, its identity!
Only to be lost forever…
In the oceans of eternity!
