Loving and Losing

Hot tears streaked down my cheeks. The rivulets of water soaked my beards till they can’t hold anymore. I took a mirror and looked at my face for a very long time. All I saw was sorrow, emptiness, and a boy just trying to exist.

And for a very long time I’ve been managing. But I don’t think I can continue like this. I don’t want this to continue. I wish it would all end.

Yes, I was deeply in love. Yes, she was the best thing that happened to me in a long time.

Yes, she wants me to let go. Yes, I want her to be happy. So, the fact that I want it to end, I’ll never tell her.

Yes. Life goes on. But can I keep up?

Empty

If I’m asked to describe how I’m feeling. If I’m asked to paint a picture of my emotions. If I’m asked to open my mind. And If I agree to do all these, and I open up.
You’d be amazed at the loads of emotions I feel. Or you’d be appalled by the lack of coherency in my feelings.

Empty.

That’s a word that holds a lot of meanings. I’ve loved so much that I don’t have any sense of loving in me again. I gave it all to her.

And in giving all I have, in totally submitting to the exhilarating love I have for her. I have lost it all. My heart, body, soul, mind, and emotions belong to her. But she has devoted herself to another.

Empty.

I’m just a human boy living life as it comes. Like an empty shell moving around and around on the sea. Like a coconut on the ocean, I exist. But my destination is unknown. My life is without direction. I just woke up to sleep again later. I sleep to wake up later.

Empty.

I lost myself trying to find myself. I found her when I was lost. Now, she’s gone. And I know for a fact. This pain will certainly last for a very long time. This feeling of emptiness will shroud me till eternity at the very least.

Tired Lover

Eyes heavy,
Limbs weary,
Like a car with the weight of a lorry,
So tired it’s scary.

I had a love,
I lost her.
Tiring!

I had a life,
That doesn’t revolve around women,
I lost it.

Eyes teary,
Heart shattered,
I’m tired.

To love, is to lose.
If I had to choose again,
I’d still choose her.

Hey Beautiful

So many words rhyme with “my partner”
But my favourite is “together forever”
You’re a walking work of art,
I’m not just referring to your tattoos.
You’re like what Michelangelo will sculpt,
Only much better.
More unique
And especially classy!

Hey Sunshine!
Your beauty is limited to your physique,
But also your charming persona.
Your heart isn’t just a lump of muscle,
I want it to be my home,
A place to reside in forever.
My love for you isn’t just emotions,
But a way of life.

Dreams sometimes becomes reality,
And you make all dreams come alive.
So, cute wonderful lady,
Accept this humble poem as a token of affection.

Life is a lie

Out here,
In the open,
Life goes on,
Roots intertwined,
And family trees blossom.
Outside among the vines,
The undergrowth impeding my movements.
I started from the bottom,
Now I’m here,
Still the bottom.
I tried to connect to a root,
I was labelled a parasite,
Hurt. Dejected.
I sprout from the ground,
I was thinned. An outcast.

The shadows lengthen,
The clouds darken,
The plot thickens,
The life became uncertain.
Nothing is comforting.
Life is a farce.
A mirage.
Before you know you’re alive.
The obituary is out.

No longer the man

Marauded my way into the fyke
Of preternatural romance .
Adorned with thorns and spike
Discomfited, never in balance.
Full of laughs and frowns alike
But heart unbroken , never a lance
Could pierce the core. I’m Ike .

I Love You

This feeling of completeness and joy i feel anytime I talk to you can’t be explained in words.
Actions they say, speak volumes.
Because words can be misleading.
I love you as far as the eye can see and far beyond.
I love you as far as the ear can hear and far beyond
Saying it won’t make it more real
And hiding it won’t make it less real.
I love you so much baby

Stranger in the dark

Half moon lurking in the sky
But still dark,
That I can’t see your eyes.
But I heard your voice.
“Good evening” she said
And that got me high

Ebony beauty clad in black
Still can’t see your face
But I heard your voice.
I fell totally for you
Still can’t see in the dark.

“Can I know her name”
I muttered to myself
Still too dark to see her face
But I’m gone.
I fell in love with a stranger
Without a name
And a face.

Look At You

Look at you,
Mending hearts,
And building homes.

Look at you,
Guiding others to a treasure you cannot posses.

Look at you,
Building bridges,
And getting carried away in the currents.

Running To You

Like diamonds in the sky,
You’re meant to shine.
Like diamonds newly mined,
You can only get more perfect.

Things change,
But you’re always the one.
Feelings go,
But I’ll always run to you.
People change,
But no one can replace you:
In my life,
Heart,
Head,
Soul,
And in all entirety
