The world grew small...

I was a child and new to the world.

I saw wonder and only wonder in the world.

I looked out of the window and

The world seemed awesome, mystical.

Everything was a mystery, everything, an adventure.

In the world I lived, anything was possible.

Anything and everything was possible and probable.

It was in my mind, the world was in it.

Everything was make-believe; everything.

I could believe, I could have faith in.

My heart and mind and soul were naïve.

I believed and my heart was filled with wonder.

Whatever was new, was a big wonder.

The world outside my window was a wonder.

My backyard, a rainforest, a mountain.

My backyard was whatever my mind wished for.

The lane across mine was a mystery.

Filling my mind with intrigue and wonder.

And everything had a mystic appeal.

The world, the life was an adventure.

The world filled me with curiosity.

The world is awesome, I thought.

And the curiosity grew, it grew.

And then the inevitable happened, I grew..

I grew big and the world grew small.

Everything became seen, heard, experienced.

Adventure, the word my life revolved around

Is no longer in the world. Wonder! Where is it?!

Amazement, amusement, mystery! Where are they?!

Now not anything is possible, not everything is.

I grew and my mind grew with me.

The truths, realities to which I was oblivious

I realized henceforth and I wept.

The truths, harsh realities of the world.

Took away it’s wonder, it’s appeal..

Things no longer are make believe.

Things are only believe, everything is.

Now I ask, is knowledge good?

Or are innocence & ignorance blissful?

I grew big and the world grew small.

Hole inside my soul...

I love you so deeply, I love you so much
I love the sound of your voice and the way our lips touch.

I love your smile and your deep kisses.
And all that you gave me is what my heart sorely misses.

I love you today as I did from the start.
And I’ll love you forever with all my heart.

Even though you are not here anymore.
My heart still sings your lore.

The way we intertwined our fingers..
Oh! The wonderful feeling still lingers.

I wish my heart was at peace.
I wish it was in one single piece.

I left a part of it somewhere.
My heart and soul can be found nowhere.

I thought you kissed my soul.
You did and then left a hole.

It was destined

In the world around me,
There were a boy and a girl..
Good friends they were..
Soul mates they seemed to be.
Destined for each other they seemed to me.

Time flew past and the bond grew fast.
Love blossomed, or so I thought.
They held hands and exchanged glances.
Oh! The wonderful glances of
The people wonderfully in love..

It all began an year ago..
When all of us met each other.
The guy became an instant friend to me.
He charmed the girl, the beautiful girl.
And I stood witness to the love.

He filled her world with love.
He filled her world with happiness.
She couldn’t resist the charms for long.
And soon enough, the thunderbolt struck her..
And I was smiling, smiling for her..

She was mad, mad with love.
She dreamt of him, with a pure heart.
Her heart ached, for it was pure.
It never loved anyone before and
It was not loved now...

Thus began the heartache for the girl.
Thus began the heartache for the boy.
The girl loved him with all her heart..
The boy felt he couldn’t love her.
But alas, he loved her, he yearned for her..

He didn’t realize his heart loved her.
He didn’t realize his heart ached for her.
He didn’t know he was in love.
He knew not because his heart was pure..
It never felt love, given or taken..

I bore witness to their heartache.
With my heart filled with empathy..
For I knew how unrequited love felt.
They loved each other but
They failed to tell each other.

Then the girl came forward.
She told him, she said to him
The immortal words, the words
That conveyed her love, confessed her love..
His heart was happy, happier than ever..

His heart was happy and yet it ached..
For he thought he can’t love her..
There were barriers between them..
Barriers thick and strong he thought..
Impenetrable barriers, he thought..

The barriers were divine, he thought..
They were the barriers of the gods..
Then he prayed, prayed for courage..
Prayed for love and hope; with hope.
And then his prayers were answered..

He went to her and held her hand..
He looked into her eyes, a fire now
Burned in their eyes, I could sense..
He looked and looked for long..
The fire grew big, and bigger..

And it couldn’t be contained any longer.
I knew it, I knew the power of the fire.
It is of limitless power, the fire of love..
And then he touched his lips to hers.
Sealing the bond, strengthening the love.

I stood witness to all of this.
The love blossomed, the fire erupted.
The acceptance happened and the souls met..
The souls knew it was destined..
I knew it was destined..

Raindrops

The raindrops fall outside
As I gaze out, waiting to hear.
Hear a word, get a sign..
A sign from the one I love..

Each drop is like a tear
As though the heavens weep for me..
Giving me a sense of hope
And a sense of fear..

I know not why but I scream..
I scream from within, scream within..
Reaching my hands out, feeling the drops..
The cool liquid sends a shiver..

The shiver runs through my body..
Mingling with the shiver from deep within
As I wait; which seems to be in vain..
I still hope, for a sign..

A pure heart loves me..
I know this, I know more..
I know a heart yearns for me..
Like the parched soil yearning for a drop..

Great ambiguity there is,
In these raindrops, for
They give me hope and despair..
The rumbling thunder giving me fear..

The hundred thousand drops that fall,
Seem to echo with my prayers..
I just hope for a sign.
The sign that confirms love.

I walk out to the door,
In despair. In hopelessness.
A tear rolls down my cheek.
The rain making it invisible..

And then a miracle happens..
A drop falls on me as me and
I get a sign, a message from
The one whose heart truly loves me..

I thank these drops with all my heart
I thank with all my soul..
They gave me the one I love..
They brought us closer..

Kissed My Soul

I was walking along a lonely path..

With the autumn thick in the air..

Walking on a fiery red path of leaves..

Strewn like my thoughts, my feelings..

And the trees stand tall and majestic..

Towering over me, adding to the loneliness..

I was walking alone in the cold air..

The clouds casting a gloomy light..

I wrap my arms around myself..

Trying in vain, oh in utter vain..

To ward the cold off, to feel the warmth..

The wind slaps my face, the cold seeping through..

And then the gloomy clouds break..

Releasing forth a hundred thousand drops..

Of cold, bone chilling rain and hail..

I’m drenched in the rain, drowning in pain

..

I stand thus, freezing and shivering when

A hand comes and grasps mine..

Holding me close and giving me the warmth..

An angel comes and whispers in my ears..

Whispering words of courage, words of immortality..

You give me hope, give my heart faith..

With a kiss, you give me the warmth

And light which cast the gloom away..

And even if I live a thousand lifetimes

I wouldn’t be able to give you back the warmth and the love..

For it was not my ears into which you whispered, but my heart..

And it was not my lips you kissed but my soul..
