HEARTTHROB....

You created that tiny nick in my heart somewhere,

And each time it throbs now, a little blood leaks out,

I search high and low, but all in vain,

I can't find out from where it spouts,

Your venom's spreading, can't stop it from leaking,

It both, makes me weak, and stirs me up too,

That inconspicuous wound, so difficult to locate,

And the pain just makes me feel closer to you,

This wound won't heal, the nick won't seal,

In my heart, your imprint shall always stay,

For there's just no one else, other than you,

Who can make me feel this way!!!

My nemesis....

I wake up every morning with bruises all over,

Too tired to walk, too numb to feel,

Blood oozing from inhuman wounds,

And the floor covered in bits of torn hair,

I crawl slowly, pull out the drawer,

Clean the wounds, dress them all up,

Wipe off the blood stains, destroying evidence,

Of the gruesome event that got me to this state,

I lie down, tired, trying to remember how it happened,

And fall asleep soon, like I would never wake up,

And then I rise, bring out the weapons,

Pull out my own skin, exposing the flesh,

Breaking myself down, part by part,

Finally, exhausted, I slip into a deep slumber,

Only to wake up oblivious to the truth,

That I am, my own nemesis…..

And that, I would never know!!!!!

E insaan....

E insaan jhaank khud ke andar,

Soch, aakhir tu kaha chala,

Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Isaai,

Hisson me kyon batta chala,

E insaan jhaank khud ke andar,

Soch, aakhir tu kaha chala,

Khoon kharaba, baarud banduk,

Kyon nafrat ki aag me jala,

E insaan jhaank khud ke andar,

Soch, aakhir tu kaha chala,

Apnon ke sapnon ko kuchalkar,

Kya karega khudka bhala,

E insaan jhaank khud ke andar,

Soch, aakhir tu kaha chala,

Paison ki lalach, hawas ki aag me,

Kyon shaitan ke rup me dhala,

E insaan jhaank khud ke andar,

Soch, aakhir tu kaha chala,

Aage badhne ki chaah me,

Reh naa jaaye aakhir khala,

E insaan jhaank khud ke andar,

Soch, aakhir tu kaha chala,

Aazad nahi tu, kaid hai tu,

Aaj apni ruh ko kar de fanaa,

E insaan jhaank khud ke andar,

Aur ek khuddar shaksiyat bana!!!

Memories....

Walking down a lonely path,

Struggling to get a view,

Leaving old comforts behind,

To make place for trials new,

My hands reach out to touch,

Every familiar face,

And i realise they are moving away,

And its all just a haze,

Memories haunt, tears roll down,

My throat chokes, lets out a sigh,

I feel like a featherless bird,

Who's been pushed off to fly....

Long ago i had set out,

On a similar unknown path,

Oblivious of what was awaiting me,

Gearing up for a new start,

That time i felt like a stranger,

And little did i know,

That it will be so tough,

To let it all go,

Strangers turned into friends soon,

And my emotions were set free,

Every moment spent with them,

Is now etched in memory....

Walking down this lonely path,

Holding onto the precious past,

I try to preserve each memory,

As long as it can last,

I laugh and cry, all the same,

I experience pangs of sorrow,

I walk empty handed,

Towards a new tomorrow,

A wee bit wiser, a wee bit stronger,

Ready to put up a show,

With nothing but memories to warm me up,

Wherever i may go!!

Thank you all my dear MGV friends for giving me these priceless memories... I am going to cherish them throughout my life... If I ever unintentionally hurt anyone I ask for forgiveness... I wish everyone all the best for their future... May God bless you all!!!

INFIDEL...

He crept in, slowly, stealthily,

Put his arms around me,

And I knew, almost instantly,

That he was trying to confound me,

He held me firmly and whispered,

That he would never cheat,

And in that blatant lie,

Lay my very defeat,

For his shirt reeked of her scent,

Her texts filled his phone,

And he was lost in her eyes,

While I spent my nights alone,

Tears rolled down my cheek,

As I pushed him away,

My heart was screaming out aloud,

But I had nothing to say,

And I walked out alone,

Caressing my bleeding heart,

That one unfortunate mistake of his,

Had torn all my dreams apart,

Granted, it's human to err,

But can someone please tell,

Is it even in God's capacity,

To forgive an infidel???!!

Generation Next???!!

We, the flagbearers of the 21st century,

Holding on tight to our playstations and phones,

The era of blemish-free, spotless skin,

But,sadly, tainted souls and hearts of stone...

Every detail broadcasted on facebook,

And every small achievement calls for a treat,

But we have no time to talk to our parents,

Or to bend down and touch their feet...

Slangs and fake accents are, oh, so cool,

We judge people by what they wear,

Birthday messages and forwarded SMSes,

Are our way of showing that we care...

Alcohol and smoke cloud are vision,

We like being wasted, stoned, and sloshed,

Arrogance and pretence are our weapons,

That help us to hide our guilt, unwashed...

Movie, dinner or clubbing, we are always ready,

But lending an ear to someone, bores us to no end,

We have no time for broken hearts,

Only happening and cool people are our friends...

Expensive cars turn us on,

Wit and intelligence are worthless things,

Love isn't expressed with words anymore,

Love is now equivalent to diamond rings...

If progress meant losing the essence of our souls,

And leading a life of dissatisfaction and unrest,

Then, when we look at this fake world we've built,

Don't our forefathers really seem blessed???!!

GENERATION NEXT... REALLY???

Green....

Dear green, sprightly and fresh,

I am so in love with you,

Sparkling, resplendent,

With tiny pearls of dew…

Gently swaying, caressed by the wind,

Humming your own sweet song,

Green is all I want to see,

Can I please take you along?

I wonder why they tag you as envy,

Fail to notice your beauty, pristine,

Oh, if only the world was my canvas,

I would paint it all green…

You spell love, in all its purity,

No red, white, yellow, blue can take your place,

Oh, when he smiles at me,

I just want to splash some green on his face!!!!

Dear green, where art thou disappearing?,

It saddens my heart, that you’ve become so rare,

I wish I could just bottle you up,

And sprinkle green magic, everywhere…

For won’t the world be a better place,

With you, dear green, adorning Mother Earth?,

No wonder, the world, is devoid of joy,

Oh green, how I wish, people realized your worth!!!!

P.S. A big thank you to Coldplay for inspiring me with 'Yellow'... :D!!!!
