You and I

The lilac sky, the vivifying breeze

This enchanting fairyland, you're on your knees!

The sunset, the red rose

You and I, we come close.

Paralysis By Over-Analysis

As I was scrolling down through my camera roll, I happened to come across an old picture of me and two of my best friends from fifth grade. The picture was of the time when we received our scholar badges. Lit up faces, wide smile and teeth out like crescent moon. Arms wrapped around each other as if we would never let each other go. It seemed like forever. It was literally the best feeling ever. Reminiscing about that time, a tingling feeling grew inside me. Then I happened to see something in the background, I don't remember what, but it aroused my curiosity. It made me zoom into that picture. Something which grabbed my attention but *sighs* took away that tingling feeling of excitement. So I zoomed and zoomed and zoomed till a point came and everything became blurry and so very unclear.  
Suddenly I came up with this perception that like I zoomed into a picture just to see something so very irrelevant but the picture lost its focus and became blurry, similarly we sometimes overthink about things that hardly matter to us and keep pondering upon them, but we don't realize that we lose focus and  derail from our real motives. So the whole purpose becomes blurry and unclear and inconsistent ideas loosen our confidence. It's good to think deep. It's good to analyse. It's good to criticize. It's good to surmise. But some things are so irrelevant, trivial and insignificant that they are not worth our time and  our mind but we still keep wondering about it and we still keep our mind busy with something so very trifling. Because of which we lose our time. Because of which we lose our mind. And in that deep thinking process we fail to notice so many significant things in our life. We ignore those little moments of joy. We disregard those things that may actually really matter to us. We lose that tingling feeling inside us. We get absorbed in those deep thoughts so badly that they make us forget about everything else. Everything else starts to seem so petty that we snub all the fun.

I didn't, You did.

I didn't leave you

I never wanted to

But you left

When you said that you were tired

Tired of all the drama

I didn't leave, you left

Ran away and found comfort in someone else

I kept running after you

But sometimes I get tired too

So I stopped

Stopped running and got accused

Accused of infidelity

I laughed inside and stepped aside

I realised you're not my cup of tea

You told me I wasn't good enough

But baby I know that I'm the best

Your mind may think that I'm a bluff

But heart sure knows that I ain't like the rest

Moving On

Forceful conversation

Forceful love

Unnecessary irritation 

I was never good enough

Nothing lasts forever 

This grief is everlasting however

I wish I could control plus zed

All the sins that I committed

How on earth can everything be alright 

When we have been holding these grudges so tight

Let go if it hurts so bad

Let go if it makes you sad

Don't hold on to him 

Let him go

Life will be dim

But only for a day or so

Brilliance awaits life's great ahead

Don't cry for the past, smile instead

Love yourself and everything will be fine

Enjoy your life, watch the stars shine

Dreamland 

Where curiosity fuels ambition

Where questions wrestle fate

Where peace is the mission

Where love triumphs over hate

Where the mind doesn't think twice

Before doing what is right

Where all men are pretty wise

And hold onto their promises tight

Where everybody is a free bird

Where everybody keeps their word

Where sad and gloom don't have a room

Where happiness and joy blooms 

This is where I wanna be
Where all good things are wild and free

Dreams push reality away from us.
Expectations hurt us.
But what drives us is this faith and hope. 
This faith and hope, which makes us believe in ourselves and achieve the dreams, even the most unrealistic ones.
This faith and hope which makes the sun rise every morning even after the darkest stormy night.
This faith and hope which brings a smile to faces of all those having a hard day.
Don't let that faith and hope in you die.
Let it live and make you strive to become better every day. 

Forever, Till Eternity, Beyond the Doomsday

You hold my hands in the darkest of days

You make me smile and make everything okay

You are all I need, so I want us to stay

Forever, till eternity, beyond the doomsday...

Philocaly

The whiff of roses aroused her

She had fallen in love

With the clear cerulean sky

With the amorphous white clouds 

With that vivifying breeze 

Which takes away the amber dry leaves

She had fallen for the twinkling stars 

And the darkness of the night sky 

And the euphony of the rain

And the aroma of the wet mud

The magic of music intrigued her 

She had fallen in love

With the subtle hues of florets 

With the fluttering butterflies

With the symphony of the birds 

Which had conquered her soul

She was captivated yet so free

She felt everything that some couldn't even see

Colors of My Heart

They say I got a red heart,

But I think it's all green

For the words I speak, they say, are poison

and are really mean.

They say I got a red heart,

But I think it's all blue

For the eternal sky that lies within

reflects the sea hue.

They say I got a red heart,

But I think it's all black

For the thoughts in which my heart is trapped

are dark as wrack.

PAPA

DAY ONE OF SCHOOL:
 He gives her the bag he is carrying on his shoulder, and helps her climb the stairs of her school bus, with a wide smile he waves saying goodbye to her, not caring about his reputation, he might be a boss in his office but right now he is a father, a father of a four-year-old little girl.
DAY 2200 OF SCHOOL:
He still waves, with a bright wide smile, to his 15-year-old girl.
Everything has changed, his hair is now grey, his face has got wrinkled, he is a little fat now what hasn't changed is his selfless love, care, and support.
He hears all the complaints and crib and cries and tolerates all the criticism and nonsense. But we don't realise what he is going through, sorry for that papa.
Happy Birthday, Papa.
