My Dear Flaws

A mirror to me; they wish I had
Like many thousands, who do today.
I would judge my every step,
And want to be, the other way.
I would like, to stay away;
From those who force to let me out.
And I would start my every day,
With many a questions, and a doubt.

Perhaps with me, I’d have a friend,
Who would tell me I was wrong always. Perhaps, it would be only then,
That I would learn to mend my ways.

But, I am Sorry, my dear folks;
Who think my mistakes, are gory and dark.
I am Sorry, my dear friends and foes, Who think I would never leave a mark. For, to you my loops and spaces,
Might seem just too big.
But to me, forever;
They’ve been the things I’d like to keep.

To you forever, they’ve made me look small;
But to me, they are why I am tall.

So I will never die, quenching your claws. They make me who I am, my dear flaws.

The Day you know...

It is a beautiful thing to feel sometimes;

A beautiful thing to feel the chimes;

Of unheard tales, that rule the skies;

And the oceans that gently deny;

Existence of any shadows gray;

But where the laughter is let to stay..

It is a shallow feeling to let the beats;

In your heart, just hide and unevenly seep;

In your soul that feels hollow and empty;

And live through dreams, never achieved yet plenty..

So what to do when the urges swell?

Whom to go and the stories tell?

And where to find the answers and solace,

And how to find a big warm place..

For the dreams that you stored for years so long,

And all the lyrics, of the heart filled song,

That you chanted for all the while,

But no one knew and your traced out smile.

No where but yourself, you could reach,

And find and end to the tainted breach;

Which kept you away from whom you were,

And swept you away from the magic fervor;

Think of it once, see how you feel;

To get to life and take off the peel;

The peel of settling years of dust;

The peel of faults now set to rust.

You will be set free, and let to breathe;

There will be no ignorance, in any deed.

Arms will be wide open, wherever you go;

Who you are, the day you know.

(Positivity takes a lot of time to build, but when it is done, it stays forever..)

Forgiven now

Forgiven the past for what it did to me,
Walking along a pebbled path.
A faint smile may give company;
And there's no care for aftermath,
For now,there is no burning sun,
Which once showed me the road to take.
For now there are no prayers done,
To cure the feelings which turn so fake.
All that is left, is some life in me;
Which forces me to walk ahead..
All that is left are some memories;
Which tells me what not is dead.

Forgiven the past,
For what it did to me.
Forgiven the pains,
That kill me still.
Forgiven myself,
For caring to cry;
Forgiven the well of love gone dry.


In me,a falling inflection of the voice,
Holds me still, so still, to make a choice..

What I feel for you

Pages of unreal stories fail to say,
What I feel for you today
There is a sacred feeling in all i do..
All the while I smile,
I've been thinking of you.
In every prayer,
I wish its you who I see..
When someday the sun, sets down on me.

Want to be in your arms,
when I breathe my last

And close my eyes,
To drown in the merry past..

Love to me is When

Love to me is when,
Your thoughts are rekindled;
And my thoughts come to me when,
I promise them a trip to you.

Love to me is when,
Not just two bodies and hearts,
Accept each other,
But also when,
The minds and souls begin,
To purify each other.
Love to me is when,
We are together...

Canvas Of Life

Let us together work on a canvas;
Let us paint it in every hue..
We shall call it "Life" then onwards,
Let it be just for me and you..

We shall have two halves of the painting;
One with me and one for you.
You shall gift me the one you have,
And I shall gift you mine too..

-Alisha

Was it always meant to be this way?

Was it always meant to be this way,

Or is it , just a dream that I see?

Why would I see this dream at all,

Did you ever think of you and me?

Was it always in our hearts and minds,

Was it something we would never show?

Did my eyes always look for you,

Did you always wish I’d never go?

Is it true in all the fights and tiffs,

You felt that I’m the one for you?

Do you feel like you’re in love with me,

And do you know that I love you too?

Is it like I never thought,

Will you be mine for true?

Will it be a fairytale ,

Will it be us two?

Every time we would be together,

Why were our words uniquely addressed ?

Even though the lips, could never speak it out,

Why did we hide , when the eyes confessed?

Even then, when we were together,

Didn’t we feel like being closer?

We posed like winners of the world,

But hearts to each other, were big losers.

And after we had crossed a phase ,

Didn’t we think, we’ll forget it all?

But wasn’t it like, we stood where we were,

And time could not move at all..

On lips and words, we still do fight,

But we love to feel the meeting eyes.

And why is it, that we still don’t know,

That we have always loved each other,

With moments the love tends to grow..
