Rage all you want aginst me,
Tear down the walls of pride.
Reproach,condemn,accuse me,
For all those nights you cried.
I take full blame for what you feel,
But guilty?That I'm not.
Those many days of happiness spent,
Perhaps,you forgot?
Alls well that ends well,they say,
True,in this case too.
Let go,move on,leave be.
And all will be well for you.
New beginnings soon approach,
Why then,dig in the past?
Not in the present or future,
In my memories you last.
That is how I should be now,
A closed chapter in your book of life.
I'm not worth the grief I gave,
You've had mroe than your share of strife.
Don't harm yourself,no,not for me,
It's pointless,can't you see?
"People change and feelings too"
Don't make me regret ever loving you.
(Like the way you probably do.)

I'll always care!
I'll always care..
It made me sad,
To see you lose the one,
Who had captured your heart.
She played so many games,
You played your part.
Maybe it was doomed from the start
A new story awaits its beginning,
And theres so much to explore
You ask for little but get much more
Than you bargained for.
Take care ,my friend,where you step,
For life is not always kind.
Before you cross,look right,then left,
Walk on,leave the safe path behind.
You'll have to change the things you do.
Just slightly here and there,
Hope you have both health and joy,
This shall be my prayer.
And if u need a helping hand,a friendly ear,
Remember,I'll always care!!

Ruin
(What happens when a good friend gets into drugs??..again dis is not real life just sumthing on da same lines.)
Ruin
That inner side.
The one you hide,
Behind the smoke,
Snorts of coke.
That quirky smile,
That mind,agile,
Can you hear?
The end's near!
So much dope!
You can't cope,
A day without.
An illness bout?
A death wish?
Chase the dish.
Also the girls,
Like ciggy swirls.
All that skill,
Will be killed.
Deep:the ditch,
Life's a bitch.
Who will save?
It's your grave!

Fickle Friend
(to the SDB!)
FICKLE FRIEND...
They were friends
Not best friends,mind
But still to each other
Always were kind.
They both were bright
With ample beauty
And then one night
Were bestowed with duty.
One knew she had won
By the tips of her hair
The other was happy
Never tried to compare
Like many before
That it turned sour
Jealousy reared its head
On this friendship of ours.
You should've ignored it
The gnawing would go
Instead you acknowledged it
Let it fester and grow
And now you leave
With taunts and jibes
That cut my soul
Like icy knives.
I try to act
Like I don't care
But in solitude
My heart I tear
A new life will begin
The days gone by
You will be remembered
With a deep sigh.
(lame lame ending!)

What we wanted!
(To Raveena)
You're the one I wanted...
But this is OK too.
She's sweet,she can't help it..
If she's not you.
Your tears fell gently...
On that fateful day.
The tradition of beauty..
Now lies in disarray.
I know what you wanted...
I wanted it too.
But,we had no power..
There was nothing we could do.
So..hold your head high now...
Take it in your stride.
Don't try to fight her..
You'll are on the same side!!

War
(Written when I was around 12)
WAR
War is such an hopeless thing,
Destruction only does it bring,
Of homes and hearts..man and land,
The abolishment of peace it does demand.
Even though this is in their ken,
It never seems to bother most men,
Who continue to fight,left and right,
No matter it be day or night.
When will this enmity come to an end?
How many more lives can we afford to spend?
When will people stop persecuting,
Their own brothers and friends??
Parents are crying as their children are dying,
Out on the battlefield.
Is this how their fate is sealed?
Tears is all that war can yield!

INTO THE DARK
(Undoubtedly,one of my best!)
Into The Dark
Into the dark,alone she ventured,
Unafraid,her emotions uncensored.
Not anxious,apprehensive like the rest.
Confident that she was the best.
The freedom she enjoyed was taken away,
Restrictions imposed on what she could say.
Spirit broken,her 'sense of self' vanished.
Her distinguishing individuality lay tarnished.
As time passed by,she soon learnt:
Stand too close to the fire and you'll get burnt.
Horizons were broadened,though her thoughts narrowed.
An altered perception of a mind made shallow:
The strongest steel wasn't made in the hottest flame,
That life is a never-ending game,
The prizes are wealth,money and fame.
The world demanded changes..
And she innocently obliged,
The free-thnking,fun-loving,spirited child,
Turned into a woman self-sacrificing and mild.
Promises were made,meant to be broken,
Wishes still remained unuttered,unspoken,
Into the dark she now feared to venture:
The fear and insecurity for too long censored!
(ps:it isnt based on any personal experience...just how our true selves are sometimes lost cos of the society n world n times we live in!)

When I was cold.
(Totally imaginary..!)
When I was cold
Hours of joy and days of sorrow,
For us,now,there's no tomorrow,
'Cos my love cant be begged or borrowed.
Unsatiable,unsatisfied..
When i was cold,you gave me ice..&
Never consoled me when i cried.
Things u sed,& things I promised
Lie in ruins,tattered,tarnished,
What we had was never truly real.
I gave you bliss,I gave you strength,
I took them with me when I went,
You'll never ever get me back again..
This is how our story ends!

You needed me
You needed me!
You needed me,
I was busy.
You called my name,
I never came.
You held out your hand,
I didn't understand.
You cried out loud,
I lost your voice in the crowd.
You turned your back,
I listed the things you lacked.
You walked away,
I didn't ask you to stay.
You wiped tears from your eyes,
I quelled my guilt with lies.
In life,what we have,
Isn't missed till its gone.
To this day your loss I mourn.
You were always there for me..
I made you flee.
(Written for my friend Munira in mind who was haperingly intimadated by me..or rather my image!)

Peace!
(crappy..!honestly..i hated writing this one)
Peace
We crave peace within our hearts,
Not just in worldly parts.
Peace, in our leaders minds,
No plotting to destruct their own kind.
Peace, within our homes,
No squabbles,abuse and lives torn.
Peace,out on the streets,
No pushing,ogling,being eve-teased.
Peace,to hear natures sounds,
Not 'dhols' playing item numbers doing the rounds.
Peace,to be oneself,
Not another commodity on society's shelf.
What we need,desire,pray for,wish-
Is peace:happiness,bliss!

In The Wind
In the wind of tomorrow I stand,
By the storm of the past betrayed,
The present flees uncontrolled,
Not hesistant,nor delayed.
The only truth is in your eyes,
But,it isn't for me to know,
My heart I no longer trust,
Life beckons and I go.
"I do not love,I do not care"
These lies echo as you stare.
Walking onwards,wish we could,
Like before, unhampered stood.
In the winds of days gone by,
Tomorrow wiping our tears dry,
The deed thats done,not erased
,Our love in friendships tomb encased!!

Alone,Just Me!!
I wanna be,
Alone,just me...
All by myself,
I don't wanna talk,
I don't wanna walk...
Not with you...not now..
I wanna run..
Fast.
Feel the sun,
On my skin.
The wind through my hair..
I can't get myself to care.
Wanna leave you far behind..
Go ahead,call me unkind.
I wanna be alone,
My hearts turned to stone..
I can't feel anymore:
No joy,No hurt,
No hope,No fear,
No smiles,No tears.
Let me go..
But don't set me free.
I dont wanna break,
These bonds we cannot see.
For now...not for eternity,
I wanna be:
Alone,just me!!
(Im not sure..but I think it had something to do with too many ppl around,clamouring for company!)

My Poems~~
(One of the first ones to do with feelings!)
And still it goes on....
We knew it could never be,
We knew it from the start,
But still we kept at it...
Each playing our own part.
We said it was impossible,
There was too much to overcome.
Yet we kept coming closer...
We realised it,but kept mum.
Not seconds and minutes, but hours.
As nights turned into days,
Talking of the earth and stars,
And evrything that in between lay.
Just friends,just friends,thats it! we claim,
If anyone dares to ask....
Reassuring ourselves the same..
But is this friendship loves mask???
We know it can never be,
We've known it from the start,
But still we keep at it..
Each playing our own part.
And still it goes on....
We knew it could never be,
We knew it from the start,
But still we kept at it...
Each playing our own part.
We said it was impossible,
There was too much to overcome.
Yet we kept coming closer...
We realised it,but kept mum.
Not seconds and minutes, but hours.
As nights turned into days,
Talking of the earth and stars,
And evrything that in between lay.
Just friends,just friends,thats it! we claim,
If anyone dares to ask....
Reassuring ourselves the same..
But is this friendship loves mask???
We know it can never be,
We've known it from the start,
But still we keep at it..
Each playing our own part.
