Broken Window

If you stop running and see,
Looking into my eyes clearly,
Behold the darkness in the shadows,
Through the pane of broken window,
The structure is dilapidated,
This existence is isolated,
But no damage is such,
That time won't mend much.

Darkness lingers in empty space,
It awaits salvation in this place,
It hides the broken me from you,
It longs to reveal all to you,
For you become that sunlight,
This darkness craved to imbibe,
Sunlight shines despite broken window,
Enlightens my soul, rid me of shadows.

Someday I might shine on you,
You might discover light in me too,
Someway you let me inside you,
I might take away your darkness too,
Somehow this rare feat come to pass,
You see beyond the cracked glass,
Unless you run and let it all go,
Leave me a solitary broken window.

Real Find

Her skin so clear,
Like morning air,
With tint of dawn,
To the perfection,
I tried to like,
But I could not like.

Her hair has such sheen,
Moonlit night they seem,
Fall down in tangles,
An immaculate ensemble,
I tried to like,
But I could not like.

Her eyes are stars,
Twinkle shines afar,
Hold me by a blink,
Melt me by a wink,
I tried to like,
But I could not like.

Her words are gold,
Like wisdom of old,
Spent well with care,
I get some to share,
I tried to like,
But I could not like.

This beautiful person,
This serendipity,
This sudden attraction,
Age old proclivity,
So I tried to like,
Why I could not like?

Simplicity at heart,
Compassion as an art,
Love in reciprocation,
Trust in inclination,
I tried to find,
But I could not find.

Because of You

Do you believe in soul mate?
I tell you they separate,
As if not all that is good,
Is meant to be as it should,
I made peace with the fact,
No love would ever last,
And I took this call,
Never to take this fall,
Just this was life's promise,
Live life of compromise,
But there you stormed in,
Broke my walls from within,
Seasoned system of belief,
Crumbled down without relief,
Swiftly the world changed,
A heart which was chained,
Broke free and took pace,
Towards more heartache,
This awareness of consequence,
Seemed trivial to relinquish,
Hope for more than mere existing,
Live more while I am still living,
This change is astounding,
This familiar  longing,
Till now was absconding,
Seems to be rebounding,
So this risk I will take,
Keep my heart at stake,
Reaching out for my due,
I will try to love you.
