A Little Too Late..

Here I'm, standing in front of this wall,

With millions of thoughts running through my mind,

No whispers, no murmurs, silence is scattered everywhere,

Seems like all the memories are getting rewind..

She is there on the other side of this wall,

So quiet, just like a silent lake,

There are so many things that she wants to say,

But she is hiding all her sorrows behind the smile that she fakes..

If only she tells me , I'll break the wall and get through it,

And then hold her tight in my arms,

But she is standing there just like a dead pole,

And now I'm longing for her and her charms..

I don't know what is she afraid of,

What is stopping her from talking to me?

Maybe she has her own reasons,

But I don't think this is how it's meant to be..

By this time I lose my patience,

So I try to break the wall and get on the other side,

And finally when I succeed in doing that,

The scene that I see is just like a dark night..

She was lying there on the ground, pale white,

Just like a fallen dead leaf,

I run to her and take her in my arms,

And I try to wake her up with my heart filled with grief..

I call her name a million times,

In a hope that she may listen to me,

But all I hear is this frightful silence,

And I just feel like a person stuck in the middle of the sea..

She was DEAD, she had gone forever,

I broke out into tears,

The world seemed to have fallen down for me,

And to listen to her voice, hungry were my ears..

I noticed she had gripped something in her fist,

It was a note for me,I unfolded it with sorrow,

My heart was shaking when I was unfolding it,

And the note read as follows: 

"I'm taking the last few breaths of my life,

And soon I'll leave this mortal world forever,

But promise me you'll be happy by cherishing the moments we shared,

And for me you'll cry never..

I love you a lot and I'll always do,

And I'll never go apart,

And no matter even if I'm not in this world,

I'll always stay close to you in your heart.."

She wants me to be happy,and if that's her last wish,

I'll try my best to do it for her,

And even if she'll stay quiet for the rest of my life,

Her voice will always be safe in my heart as delightful murmurs..

Maybe I took a lot of time to break that wall,

Maybe I could have met her for the one last time,

But now she is present only in my memories,

And she'll be alive within me for my entire lifetime..

Beyond Infinity..

Even when the oceans run out of their waters,

I'll still be there with you,

Even when the mighty sun loses its fire,

I'll still be there with you...

Even when the stars disappear from the sky,

I'll still be there with you,

Even when the moon no longer lightens the night,

I'll still be there with you...

Even when this world comes down,

I'll still be there with you,

Even after we cross the line of eternity,

I'll still be there with you...

Even after our souls leave our bodies,

I'll still be there with you,

Even after we complete thus journey of life,

I'll still be there with you...

Even when the birds no longer chirp,

I'll still be there with you,

Even when the rains cease to fall,

I'll still be there with you...

Even when no one is beside you when your soul embarks,

I'll still be there with you when u get into the dark,

Even when the heart-beats leave the heart,

I'll still be there with you and never go apart...

Whenever you need me and even if there are thousand miles between us,

Just walk the first one and I'll walk the rest 999 miles just to be with you,

But promise me that you'll never go away,

Because without you even the heaven will be of no use...

The Dark Loneliness

The surroundings have become quieter,

And my heart whispers it wants some rest,

Even my shadow has left me alone,

And I am in my brain's arrest..

Sitting in the darkness I try to figure out what is more darker,

The darkness outside or inside me?

The only answer which reaches my ears,

Is that from this darkness I cannot get free..

Even the stars aren't showing their shine tonight,

And the moon is hidden behind that dark cloud,

There's only emptiness around me,

So it doesn't matter how loud I shout..

The street where once there was a merry crowd of people,

Now it only comprises of memories,

People,relations,time and life,

Everything has changed in quick successive series..

In which direction should I go I have no clue,

Because it's dark everywhere and I cant see any road to walk on,

The night is getting even darker,

So I decide to just sit here and wait for the morn..

Seems like even the sun has lost its way,

Because it's been such a long night and still there isn't any ray of light,

So I just close my eyes and try to calm myself,

Waiting for the end of this dreadful night..

I know that soon this darkness will be killed by a new sunrise,

And life will clear out this emptiness,

But for now the only thing in my sight,

Is this darkness filled with loneliness..
