My Downfall

On seeing her, my heart soared
in my chest it loudly roared
Beating hard like a horse on gallop
There it went, out of my control

Her beauty,
like that of a delicate flower
Her smile,
Had me mesmerized
Her eyes,
Saying things untold
Her neck,
makes me want to nibble

And her laugh,
I cannot get enough of it
like bells tinkling
It makes life seem worth it.

I saw the signs and was alert
I warned my heart
so it won't be hurt

O heart, beware!
don't make this mistake
You have been there
this risk you cannot take

Remember the lesson
That you should have learnt
Why do you again
risk getting burnt?

But my heart had gone deaf
it didn't listen
and now I am
hopelessly smitten

I see where this is going
I see my downfall
and I am powerless to resist
I can just hope for the best

There after all, is a morning after every night, the first rays of the sun shining, piercing through the dark with their light. Yesterday as I showered, I stood there in silence, staring into the bucket of water, watching its surface ripple, pondering upon the nature of happiness and how it seems it never last while sadness prevails steadfast. Every time I feel joy, I can be sure that it won't last. But this listless melancholy has stood by me steadfast. It is funny how

Far away somewhere

Far away somewhere, when the day goes to rest, The dusk sneaks up, shyly. Like a newlywed bride. And here, in the courtyard of my dreams, someone lights up a lamp Sometimes, when with no reason at all my breaths become heavy and my eyes well up with tears unshed With a flutter, lovingly, someone caresses me, but I cannot see her.. I cannot see her.. Sometimes these hearts are unable to touch and somewhere else, emerge connections deep and old The problem was such, it made my own heart the enemy belonging to me, yet bearing the pain of another. Only my heart knows all my secrets deep How I lost all my dreams, so golden These dreams, these alone are mine, I won't ever let their reminisces go away from me
