This is a poem that I wrote as a birthday gift for someone, I was in love with. |
There's a lot that I want to tell you But let me first wish a very very happy birthday to you. Yes I want to tell you how much I love you But I don't wanna write Much like, being very hungry But denying to take a bite. Every morning I see you board the bus With eyes so sleepy you still look so glorious When I just close my eyes and wonder If you and me could someday become "us". You think I don't know you yet, But that is just not true, I can bet. I just can't hate you ever Willing to die for you instead By being the fish in your fishing net. How do I measure my perpetual love for you? Now that I have tried everything I knew But even in those attempts so futile There is no stopping, Like the furious Teesta flowing downhill. You make me wonder how could someone be so perfect? It's because of you the fragments of this broken heart are so intact Only after I met you in my dreams, though you won't believe But you are a far better person than I am, please acknowledge this fact. You took care of things like a selfless nurse I still remember how you came into my life Made me smile when things were getting worse And you cured me of my sufferings, the Cupid's curse. Looking secretly at you engaged in those silent murmurs I keep telling them, "There can't be a smile as elegant as hers." I want to teach life how to behave Such that you are the master and happiness your slave And on this birthday of yours, I'll be a knave I'll wish you the entire world's happiness. Even my share of merriment for you I'll save Only then I'll enjoy peace in that life, life beyond the grave. It's your generosity when you say you owe me a lot But instead it's you, with whom all the 'memories' I've got. I know you won't agree, so just go and ask the lord And even he'll answer, "Of all the people that I created, you are the best of the lot." What I can only hate is, you in the heat and me in the shade And all I'll love is to cry with you if ever a tear you shed I would even love to be the night had you been the day Because they are inseparable, so close and yet so far away. I just get drowned in those eyes To listen to everything they have to say Don't know why they are just special Special in their very own way. I dream to live in those eyes forever for there can't be a soothing feeling any better Not to change the way you look at things But to walk with you however rough would be the weather Because it's you who makes me think about forever. I want you to be the one sitting by my side When on some isolated island, from the world we'll hide Sitting and watching those waves come and go by We'll walk, run, play, laugh and cry To be the soothing showers of rain in those seasons dry. All around your heart a wall you've been building To hide your feelings, and from the pain you want a little bit of shielding. I want to be the antidote to the venom so killing So that you could live it all about which you have been dreaming To see you surrounded by happiness all real As real as this surreal world continuously spinning That's when I would believe that this life was worth living. |
