Blog Post About This Poem.

I will spend my lifetime loving you, ah’ a wonderful promise,
I will give the peace and pleasantness mankind never felt,
I will bring to you fulfillment of dreams you are yet to see,
Oh’, wonderful they all sound but they are promises I can’t keep.

Through many streets I walked, at many crosswalks, I stood,
Left many dreams where they belong, many I revisited,
Told many stories from simple events of life unfolded,
Brewed the sweetness of life deep in my heart for you.

Many lines like every poet before me wrote I wrote,
Praised love I felt for you and love inside of you well hidden,
Weaved many dreams about us hand-in-hand in love,
And both our heart beating for each other’s happiness.

Life failed us, love eluded us, future never faded in,
Oh’, somewhere in the past, time and space got stuck,
Thousands of lies, millions of fake promises at heart knocked,
And I faded into dark from you without promises I can’t keep.

Blog Post About This Poem.

Eyelids shielded the tears from falling,
When thought about living alone,
Hands held tight the biceps so no shivering known,
Heart pounded against walls of chest giving more life.

The harmony of what bound events in time and space fell,
What once looked sparkling now at throat as a threat,
Oh’, I know not the ways to protect my love for I only know,
To protect the love of yours for me deep inside you hide.

What holds me and my time in this spot unmoving?
Oh’, deep in your heart what you felt is a spiritual reality,
For which you know not how to speak and act in material,
Love indeed is a double-edged sword that hurts and comforts.

Oh’, beyond the sweetness of smiles, fashions of the colors,
The passion of the words and the touch of our dreams,
We exist as people who cannot exist without each other,
Love indeed is a healer as time fashions itself in our love.

Blog Post About This Poem.

The dreams were silenced by the hurting words you said,
Ah’, one by one they bid farewell to the unloved heart,
All that beautiful seen, all that wonderful music heard,
Now as monsters haunted with sounds echoing in howls.

Flavors and taste melted into the tongue that spoke,
Poetry that only praised your love you felt for me,
Oh’, the love into the galloping river you floated,
Where it screamed and screamed but drowned mercilessly.

A million questions like arrows at my conscience came,
And my smiles shielded all of them still answerless all fell,
Rains once more wiped the tears from eyes fell,
But what can wipe the tears soul shed when I unloved stood.

More fire-filled arrows at every living reality came,
With what fabricated happiness I will make a smile to shield?
Oh’, tired the dreaming lover on his knees fell,
Hearing the silenced screams you drowned in the rivers of time.

Blog Post About This Poem.

The masks of the day undone and mind emancipated,
As the day drowned in laughter from sources unknown,
Seasonal lovers still to their revealing clothes held on,
As the makeup mixed with sweat and tears drooled through cheeks.

Through my maskless eyes, I looked and saw only what sight showed,
Wickedness has replaced the wisdom of the past and celebrated,
In minds intoxicated with stuff mankind never supposed to have known,
Then I learned, I am an odd part of an era of dreamless hypocrites.

The night drowned me to sleep where I saw pathways unknown,
Those pavements so wonderfully cleaned by late spring rains,
Thunders still rolled empty drums upon cheer-filled clouds,
Flowers swaying in the light wind that forgot to make nature dance.

Every form of life in busy schedules through time passed,
I walked through time as if I own the space for just myself,
As none I saw who can share the space through I passed,
I paused to understand the pulse of time and space unveiled.

Shadowless I stood ah’, no-touch weather or nature I felt,
The sun way above cuddled with the fun-filled clouds,
Then a little warmth from all around and beyond cloaked me.
Upon the bed I sat and at the lighted up phone I looked.

Her face in the background with a smile filled with love,
I said aloud “Oh’, I dreamt and even in loneliness I felt,
The touch of her love she unknowingly sprouted at me,
Or, was a flying kiss she sent feeling the loneliness of mine?”.

Morning peeked through the curtains and dust dance around,
Another day, ah’, so many paths to follow in spirit and material,
The material man yearned the spiritual touch of her love,
The spiritual man celebrated her love for him she failed to express.

The pavements all washed by the nightly rains,
When thunders shook the stone-filled roads,
Oh’, flashes of lightning shown a path to walk,
And he walked over those empty paths in dawn light.

Archways with creepers covered stood with smiles,
Of the gargoyles never leaving those haunting faces,
Flowers sat still on the parapets adding colors,
To the brick walls that saw ages and ages of romances.

Smoke left in swirling dances like a Sufi Dervish off chimneys,
Breakfast foods cooked in restaurants where morning rested,
And through that path he walked to rest along the eastern rays,
Then the morning danced as she came in with the warmth of love.

He loves her from everything he knows and beyond his imaginations,
She saw everything with the skeptic mind of a loved girl,
The aging man she saw from one side and then felt his loving heart,
The Natural Beauty he saw from one side and then felt her caring heart.

With a smile she said “Hello”, then looked at the chair and stood,
He replied “Hello Dear”, and told her to sit at the table he sat,
And to her skeptic looks, he said “This can be as easy as that smile”,
“Or as tough as the doubts in your heart which always will stay.”.

“I don’t hate you or anything you do..” she said without looking,
Holding her hand he said “We cannot hate each other ever.”,
“Let us make this a beginning than an end dear”.. he paused.
She looked up without a smile and said “It will be a battle.”.

He smiled and said “Yes, every moment is a battle for both of us”,
“From birth till now we fought and won every second of our life”,
“Let us battle life together than against each other.”. He stopped,
She looked up and took his hand and said: “I will be with you”.

Driven by the passions to be loved he weaved,
Verses about hypothetical events in which he loved,
And be loved by the girl who as a dream fulfillment came,
But by the hesitations of the cunning world caught.

Every event of reality to his heart brought,
A new touch of love only through thoughts about her completed,
Oh’, no more dreams in his imaginations sprouted,
As every corner of senses and emotions, she ruled.

As every bit of all he knew in verses he wrote,
A day came when nothing made sense without her in thoughts,
Oh’, more senses he sought to express love for her in verses,
Even in those extensions ah’, her smiles filled with love came.

Every poet looks at the world through the verses they weave,
This poet looks at the world through the love in his heart fills,
Love he learned from his past that brought him to the present,
That fills thoughts about life with her even beyond the end of times.

She strayed away from the love she can give,
Ah’, he stayed on the grounds of love in his heart felt,
Though so close to each other they felt,
Swirling worlds in different directions kept them apart.

Nature stood stunned seeing two lovers away from love falling,
The twitches in his heart, felt away in her heart, ignored,
The fallen tears, ah’, unknown to the world remain undried,
Love in him that ached soul so hard, healed to embed only her face.

Wandering through the wilderness of the urban life he sang,
“Bring to me nature a thunderless storm,
Where, as a lightning, I will fly and strike,
The flashes spreading love and become,
The love in her heart filling future with love and life.”

He stopped to understand no other woman can replace her,
In a heart and his soul as love and life for her dedicated,
Oh’, in spirit a love-filled husband in all purity he became,
Blessed by the spiritual world and the heart of her who loved.

The cheerful words from the ache of heart written,
To make one feel the love from depths of soul sprouted,
The willful memory of the rejected heart I carried,
And through the folds, you searched and searched.

The words and feelings from my heart and soul came,
Though well known about the innocence of emotions,
Oh’, not my face you expected for those words and feelings,
To come from, not the man to fill your heart with love you expected.

Oh’, behind every smile lives a set of heartbeats of pain and suffering,
And have you felt the pain of my heart through verses of love I wrote?
That feeling of love in the folds of your heart that touches is your love,
To a different man you weaved but ah’, takes my face dipped in my love.

Through every thought of mine you search, read and untired,
You grew a thin line of love only for me meant ah’, unknowingly,
And it is a point of no return, a mirage every day you try to reach,
In expectations of finding a different face, a different voice,

But only finds the “Much Older” man from your heart you want to erase.

Oh’, those busy streets so familiar,
Passing by unknowingly, moved to past,
Familiar faces, familiar signs but times unfamiliar,
The waiting heart, the caring soul, the loving man.

The heart of the girl that runs like a blinking star,
Around which the heart of the man a revolving planet,
And the search for each other goes round and round,
Oh’, the very identity of lovers in mind-boggling search lost.

The craziness of the phantoming world that changes,
Ah’, in it every action though so simple become and effort,
Aching muscles, boiling blood, and smiles forever stolen,
When the world around shows how happiness is celebrated.

Feeling those celebrations somewhere in the heart love twitched,
Oh’, how wonderful life will be when two lovers hold hands,
When two lips taste each other than talk to strangers,
Smiling, with blank thoughts and unfelt slow beating hearts.

Even in the roller-coster thoughts about the lover comes,
What could have been the chances and events of life,
What would have been the changes that made life,
What should have been times together, than life unlived?

The taste of summer left the tongue dry,
The warmth of sun still upon the skin lingered,
What wonderful dreams Spring time showered,
But none of those blooms meant to symbolize my love.

Through every corner of time and space of seasons searched,
For reasons for all the good and bad through which passed,
Life without the girl I love who only read the verses I wrote,
Oh’, in all hopes and prayers I guess I made her smile.

Silence loomed all around nature and the disappointment,
Oh’, in everything, in every possible way I should understand,
For somewhere in all that passed as seasons is where,
Happy moments memories will absorb and live in future days.

Thoughts through sadness crawled and disappeared,
Oh’, happiness you have no meaning without her love,
As every event without her in my life moves into past,
Mind loses the ability to dream and became an empty tomb.
