  • All my heart

    All my heart

    I feel my heart beat for a while
    Throbbing wildly in its bony cage
    Vibrations resonating across my hands
    Surely a sign that I’m still alive?

    Well, it used to be more than that, before
    My heart knew of pain and loneliness
    But, t’was capable of emotions far superior
    Fluttering with your every touch

    You placed your palm upon my chest
    And felt its rhythm; crests and troughs
    For it would know safety once more
    Only in the care of your arms

    With every breath of air you’d take
    My heart would quietly surge and swell
    A gentle thump around my ribs
    Your touch would make me feel this way

    Alas! You went so far away…
    Robbed it of its zeal to exist
    It felt like dying everyday
    For want of reason to stay alive

    My heart’s the only thing I have
    To let you know how much I care
    And with every breath I’ll give my best
    To love you with all my heart.

  • Worth waiting for

    A gentle rose
    Waits for you
    Your touch, your caress
    Your gentle care

    Its scent intoxicates
    Mesmerizes
    Throws me off balance
    Just like you do

    It asks to be placed
    In your hair so silken
    It begs to adorn
    Your radiant beauty

    The rose is simple;
    It wants to fulfill
    Its purpose in life
    To be an object of beauty

    But it cannot wait longer
    For it will die;
    It simply cannot live
    Staying away from you so long

    But I believe, against hope
    It would live till you came back
    Because I know for a fact
    You’re worth waiting for.

  • Getting ready for doomsday?

    Getting ready for doomsday?

    We’re nearing the end, that’s what those ancient people said
    If they were to be believed, we’d shortly be dead
    So many years ago they predicted our fate
    And apparently prophesied humankind’s expiry date.

    It’s difficult to imagine, what sort of global catastrophe
    Would be so severe, to mark the end of all humanity?
    Are we going to drown, or burn up like hell?
    Or is something going to plague us and make our bodies swell?

    Would the earth explode, with one big boom?
    Or would it quake and quiver to lead us to our doom?
    Would we collide with some massive space thing?
    Predict that, and then you’re on to something!

    Till then, no one can decide when we are going to go
    Heck, the Mayan’s aren’t around to say, “I told you so!”
    Calm down, breathe, maybe have a drink or two,
    Spend time with your loved ones, live life as you’d normally do.

    Just because someone said we have only twelve days
    Doesn’t mean you too have to follow the craze
    Don’t be stupid and live your life in a hurry
    Life is too short and precious to worry

    And if they are right, and that day is truly our last
    I’d enjoy it and go out with a blast!
    Until then, we all just wait and see
    If dead people are right about humankind’s destiny.
