The Only Dream I Had

empty and wet road with forests around the sides

Sitting at the roadside with friends,
I looked at the gaudy block and buildings,
I wished I could own one of these someday,
I wondered how it would feel looking down this way,

Walking on the streets, I saw a shiny car in black,
A man in a suit sitting in the back,
He was calm, classy perhaps capable of everything,
I wish I could be him someday and would buy expensive things,

I was excited, what she would say,
She was the only one with whom I want to stay,
She did come but with someone,
Tall, mean, a ‘jerk’, that someday she would call him,
It was raining; she was standing under the expensive umbrella,
She said, “You deserve someone better as you are a good fella”,
“Yeah, I know that I am not crying, it just rain-water”,
She left in the car, “Yes she is no better”,
The road was deserted and I was lonely,
The rain kept pouring down on me,



Once you are wet, you don’t care how much you are drained,
You stop feeling anything after long periods of pain,
Watching her go I waited for her to look back,
But, she took away the only dream I had,

After several seasons, I was reading myself in the news,
I smiled on thousand lies not a single truth,
Standing on the top of my apartment at the Marine Drive,
My glance passed from the sea to a group of five,
They were laughing, joking and were happy,
I wished I could be that chirpy,

My fancy car stopped at the traffic light,
I saw a young man looking at me, dressed in blue and white,
He appeared as a warrior shining in his armor,
I wished I could be like him, carefree, rebellious, and a lot younger,
Now I own what others could only dream,
But my dream where is she?
Even after having everything why I am so empty?



It was raining in the dark night,
the road was empty with no other vehicle on the sight,
Around the corner, a woman was standing with arms crossed her chest,
Water dripping from her long hair drenching the rest,
“Lady, can I offer you a lift?’
“No thank you, I am waiting for my kid”,
Perhaps I was still the same old sentimental fella,
I came out of my car, handed over my expensive umbrella,
“Lady at least you can have this”,
She hesitated at first but anyways took it,
Then I saw her face which was glowing in the dark,
She was the same girl who once had my heart,
“Do you remember me?” She asked,
I didn’t reply and walked towards my car,

The car started and I didn’t look back,
I no more remember the only dream I had…

Every Time

beautiful eyes

Every time I see in your eyes,
There are some truth and equal lies,
My mind warns them from staring,
but my heart ignores and keeps looking,
When I touch your hand and feel it,
It is a little warm and equally gelid,
My body instructs to hold them,
but my heart advises considering again,

Every time you are near,
I feel a part of you is present, the rest at linger,
My heart says you are mine,
But my mind shakes me, saying it is just an incline,
I have the guts to ask your feelings,
but my heart is fragile and is afraid of losing,
Don’t speak the truth,
I am happy in this deceiving,



We both know the reality,
but please don’t stop playing,
I carry a childish heart, you show juvenile acts,
If today is so beautiful who wants historical facts,
Let your eyes splendidly pretending,
And let me have them staring…

My World

a couple standing together facing each other and their heads out of picture

I get angry when I see you spending time with others,
Come on! That was my time,
I know you have friends, family, and work,
But I want to be on your mind,

I know I am possessive but I am not ashamed of it,
I want you only for me, don’t care what others think about it,
I have a habit of being extremely choosy, so I pick you,
Call me whiny or needy but I just need you,

I won’t say I am perfect, actually I am far from it,
I have a weakness to get attached badly, I can’t help it,
Please don’t get mad or irritated, I am just made this way,
I do what I feel is right, and speak what my heart says,



Sometimes I talk on and on so that you don’t hang the phone,
Sometimes I go silent, fighting fears on my own,
I don’t worry about many things, I only fear of losing you,
for every other problem, I know how to get through,

So stay with me as much as you can,
I don’t mind if you talk to me twenty-four seven,
I know I am talking rubbish, you are a busy person,
Your mind has a million things going on,

You have many important people to meet,
Big goals to complete and exotic places to be,
Here I am, my heart knows only one thing to do,
My world starts with you and it ends with you…

Lovely Girl To Love

back of a standing woman

I don’t know about tomorrow,
Actually, nobody does,
There are millions of possibilities,
Lots of ifs and buts,
We will age,
Would turn into some uglier versions of us,
You would still look pretty, but I would certainly rust,

Sometimes I hate my stars,
That they brought you so late to me,
If it was always you,
Why I wasted my days and nights wandering lonely?
I missed kissing you every time there was a full moon in the sky,
and every time when I was riding my bike or I was high,


I missed you every time when I had to watch a romantic movie all by myself,
And every Valentines Day, I can only sigh at couples,
On my birthday each year, I wanted one gift less,
But I wished to see you,
You never came, neither your call or any letter,
So mean of you,

It’s easier to forget and move on,
This is what everybody does,
To believe in a childhood promise,
That’s only fools’ turf,
Do you really think was it my words,
Or you were always my destiny?
That you met so many good guys,
Yet you came back to me,

I know you never know the answer,
Actually, it doesn’t really matter,
The only thing matter is that you are here with me,
Let the past bygone, future you can shut up for the time being,
I am with the prettiest girl out there, made exclusively for me,
and I have to make up for all the lonely moments I suffered in between,
So excuse me, friends and folks, I won’t be calling anyone for a while,
I have a lovely girl to love and she is waiting for me with a smile…

And I Fall In Love Again

a couple sitting on rooftop looking at sunset

Sometimes I touch her face,
Sometimes I slide her hair out of place,
When we sit together,
I play with her toes and tickle her feet,
whenever we argue,
I am the first to admit my defeat,

When she cooks,
My God! she looks damn pretty,
even though the food is always a little high on salt,
I finish my plate all empty,
She is always out of words,
making conversations are not her specialty,
To keep her away from hanging the call,
I talk rubbish and make a fool out of me,

She doesn’t like surprises,
she feels everyone knows her in the city,
So I make sure to bring a red rose
and stand on the stairs of the metro station brazenly,
She gets embarrassed, she gets angry,
And the next one hour she would give me scolding tightly,



My heart sinks a little,
every time I see her go away,
Even if she talks to her friends,
I get insecure, I honestly say,
It’s true, love is not perfect, actually, it never is,
But when someone is this beautiful, I can bear it,

Sometimes I wonder if I am really in love,
Then I look at her and wonder,
“Do I really deserve a girl like her?”,
Then she looks at me and smiles,
“You know you are crazy, you are insane”
And I fall in love again…
