I couldn't tell you ....

Surprised with a capital " S", I stood,

As you asked  , " why do you love me"?

Surprised was I , not with you, but with myself.

As words came to my throat ;

They couldn't find their way out of my quivering lips.

I wanted to tell you many things;

Yet I couldn't .

Your presence got me tongue-tied as always.

I couldn't tell you

As words fail to surpass the limitations of language

To delineate the subtle, intangible, ineffable human feelings.

I couldn't tell you

Your eyes and face radiate a sublime angelic aura,

Which, when set on me,

Makes me feel nonplussed,

Or rather, stupefied ;

At the same time, a joy-inexpressible-inundates

The entire entity of mine,

And gradually the whole world.

I couldn't divulge

Anything that is most beautiful,
Anything that is most invaluable,

Anything that is most amazing,

Anything that is most phenomenal,

Anything that is most marvelous ,

Anything that can be most sought after

is YOU
May be some other time,
May be some other evening,
Under the star studded sky
With bright, radiant, charming moon up above,
Sitting at the same place in the garden,
I'll speak my heart out to you.
I'll let you know how much priceless you are.
My existence without you would be like
A man within the grave, alive , awake,
Battling for life, tussling with utmost earnestness, 
To have the slightest glimpse
Of the beautiful face of yours,
With may be a tiny drop of tear
In your ever magnetic,alluring eyes'.

May be some other time,
May be some other evening,
I'll let you know....  .

Love is the sobriquet of pain

Whenever I strive to forget,
The memories you beget ;
A lump of grief climbs up my throat,
As tears in my eyes appear to float.
I sit with my head down,
but clutching my heart , my mind wants to frown .
Is loving you truly my fault?
Why do you say no, why do you give me such a jolt ?
It was you who, again, started talking ,
Were you playing with my emotions and just mocking ?
Tears in my eyes start raining down my cheeks,
While in my heart, it creates more shrieks.
I ask to God with all the pain ,
'' Why do you always have to give me all the strain ?
Why is it always me ?
And everybody else should go scotfree''?
God beams and says to me,
'' I gifted love that you yearned for thee'' .

Fractured Heart

A fractured heart never heals. Its like an injury left unattended forever.With every passing day, it appears to mitigate, but it doesn't. With the slightest prodding, it resurfaces again and makes one aware of its existence. And thus, this vicious cycle of pain, ache & misery continues.....
