Our Dance

and when the piano started to play,

with you in my arms I started to sway.

eyes closed, I kept dancing till almost midnight.

till I felt something wasn't right.

I opened my eyes to see you gone,

and it was me dancing, no not alone.

but with the reflection of myself,

while I actually thought your hand I held.

Oh my reflection, so similar, yet so different,

you are from me. I can still smell your scent.

And wonder what was it that I did,

that from me you hid.

and what is it that I could do,

to bring you back to,

me. here, right beside me.

so that the next time I open my eyes,

all I see is your smile.

A little thing called Hope

Whenever I lose hope,
And all I can hear is no.
I look at your photo in my heart,
and then all of a sudden i start,
start to work towards something,
something I am praying...
praying that it comes to be true,
and in the way, it, I knew...
because it is one of the few things,
i wish i could see myself winning.
I haven't been defeated yet,
i know we have for long not met...
but till the time i know i have lost,
this one thing I have got.
this thing i call hope.
And if again I hear just a no,
I ll look at your photo in my heart,
and then again start.

The Light in her Smile

Oh the light in her eyes, when she smiles...
there is day even in night, for miles and miles...

Even in this dark dungeon
of mine,
there is this fresh breath
of  life...

As I try to move closer
to this light,
I am not sure if this is
right

I try to steal this glance,
a glance that could lead to a romance...

But just when I thought,
I could move away,
after just a glance.
my eyes just stay.

and keep looking at her

oh and when she smiles,
there is day even at night...

i wonder what would happen
when i hear her speak...

Future of the Past

Here you are today,
tomorrow you will be gone forever.
Oh my friend,
will I again, see you ever?

Will you come back without me calling you,
when you move to the land so new...
that even you find it alien,
although there you were forever living...

You might have not known me that well,
that in your heart I could dwell.
but if we were to meet again in the future,
i hope we can again nurture.

this thing i don't know what to call,
because may be it didn't exist at all.
but i knew i could feel something,
when i heard you breathing.

is it too late for a new beginning?
even if in my life i am always winning...
alas i will have this regret,
i wish i had asked you when you left...

Here you are today,
tomorrow you will be gone forever.
Oh my friend,
will I again, see you ever?

The Coffee Smile

While just looking around,
For a second my eyes found,
The coffee smile on your face.
What were you drinking I am trying to trace...
Was it a hazelnut latte or cappuccino?
I am too excited to know.
If you saw your coffee smile,
With the extra effects of sunshine,
You could understand why I write this rhyme.
I wish that coffee was mine...

A 1000 miles to my heart

I walked a 1000 miles,
A 1000 miles, just to see you smile.
I have captured this angel smile in my heart,
It may have been yours, but it is now a part,
It is now a part of me, and whenever I want,
I want to see your face, with that smile,
I'll just dive deep in to my heart,
And watch you smile for hours
For hours, till the time I look in the mirror
And I see you and not me
Till in everyone I see just you,
In everything I see just you.
One day I know this will be true,
After all, I am just a part of you.

You, me and water

we were walking on water,
and then the water froze,
i slipped. but you held my hand,
you took my hand and we ran,
and then we began to dance,
we danced till the ice cracked,
the ice cracked and water sprung,
it sprung like a volcano,
and we were thrown into the air,
but when we landed, it was land,
for once, we could walk and dance in peace,
forgetting about the water completely...
till we reached the sea shore...
and as we stood face to face,
face to face with water again,
not knowing what is our fate,
we ran in to the sea,
but alas, we drowned...
and now we live under this clear blue water,
looking at the bright sun through the waves,
waiting for a dolphin to take us back,
back up to the surface of the water
