True Love Knows No Ending

True Love Knows No Ending

Remember the time when we read fairy tales, 
Waiting to see a happy ending,
Imagining our lives in the story,
Looking for a way to see the happiness on the other side.

All it took one day for me,
To travel down the path seeking for that feeling,
Success and money were just materialistic things,
But the world only worked for this. 

I worked day and night, 
Just to build a corporation big enough, 
To make the world bend to my wishes,
Poverty did take out the only emotion that I could sacrifice,
Happiness was the thing I sacrificed. 

 You and your love for flowers and the colours, 
Had an impact on this black and white world, 
You were the artist,
Everything else was just a canvas. 

The colour filled room, 
Did make me wonder who created this,
You were here busy with a handful of lilies,
That you forgot I had entered my suite.

From there on it was just a story for the ages, 
You were just a lost traveler,
Seeking for a place to be called home, 
While I was just a disturbed soul seeking solace. 

It was only time that I fell for you, 
I knew that you also felt for me,
Yet something was stopping you,
It was like a cell in which you kept your soul.

The man who owned you,
Mistreated you and made you suffer alone in this world,
Still called himself your husband,
Marking a bull's eye on his back with his skeletons from his past.

Willing to make you suffer,
And drown you in your guilty conscience,
Turned himself in for the crimes that were next to treason,
He knew he was innocent but took the liberty to chain your soul again. 

You ran back into my life,
Asking me to help clear his name,
For whom I was the man who stole you away fro him, 
Your misty eyes were like the piped piper's song and I was just a kid following your tune. 

Searching every corner of the earth,
Only To find the answers in land far away,
A step on a mine was its cost,
It was like a barren land when I paid the price.

Three months later he was out,
Searching for you all over the place,
Only to be haunted by the ghost of his lies and deciet,
Trying to shackle the soul whic I had unshackled.

Attempting to cage the bird that I had freed,
You taking your final journey,
To search for my soul that became your home,
Becoming free from this mortal world.

True love knows no endings,
Neither did ours,
We did meet again,
And this time it was forever.

Lighthouse

Lighthouse

Dark enough to even make the ghosts quiver in fear, 
I stood at the top of the lighthouse, 
Waiting for you to come, 
And end this saga for once and for all. 

The wounds still fresh, 
And the blood still trickling down, 
Trying to figure out, 
Where in this life that I have stepped a wrong step. 

That night when I thought someone following me, 
Like a bat, I could only sense something around me but could never see it,
A happy life is a myth, 
That night just was an evidence to prove it. 

Married since fifteen years, 
Inseparable throughout the cyclones and the tornados that life presented us,
but it was one night that changed my life forever, 
You had changed it for the worst. 

Stabbed in the alley I saw him, 
With lifeless eyes that could even make a corpse throw up, 
the blood flowed on the floor as if someone had turned on the faucet, 
His face was just blank. 

Shuddering in fear I saw your message on the wall, 
Warning me that you're gonna get me, 
Bringing out the dead skeletons from the past and throwing them at the feet of the present, 
I knew it there and then that it was you again.

Waiting here where it all ended or so I thought was the end, 
I see you coming from long away, 
Just to finish the chapter that you started,
With just a gun with one bullet in the chamber being my only form of defense.

But with one swift blow,
The gun fell far away,
Fighting for my life, 
I tried to hit you hard enough, 
Make sure you plead for your life.

Just like Poseidon's trident, 
I found the weapon lying there, 
Asking me to shoot you and to end this saga,
But who knew that it was just something that I would crave for this entire time,
To see you dead in the eye and shoot you in between the eyes. 

One strike was enough to make your firm steps stagger, 
As an alcoholic falls down on his bed, 
That strike from the shovel nearby brought you closer,
To the bed of eternal sleep that you had made for me. 

As I see you fall down from the railings, 
Waiting to be the meal for the scavengers, 
I could only fathom a life, 
A life which would be a fairy tale only if you hadn't crossed paths again. 

In Love with a Writer

In Love with a Writer

Fall in love with a writer,

They know how to keep the love alive,

Even if you are not,

People said.

I fell in love like how people do in stories,

Saw her near the bookstore with those big nerd glasses,

Trying to adjust her bags,

God! How beautiful she looked.

Just like a fresh page of a new book,

I just stood there transfixed to my place,

Wondering if she was for real or my mind playing games with me.

And then we met again,

Waiting for a train I stood at the station,

Saw you scribbling something on a parchment of paper you found,

Only for the wind to steal it away.

It flew into my path,

And we started talking,

Like the children following the piped piper's tune,

I was enchanted by your words.

Slowly and slowly we started hanging out,

I only was there to listen to your words,

And how beautiful you wrote,

You were my bestseller author and I was your favourite fan.

You kept me immortal in the tales you told,

And I was lucky to be there,

Today as I leave for a new path,

I can feel you around,

In that piece of paper that I keep in my wallet.

Hold On To Me

Hold On To Me

Lights now brighter than the sun,

With the drips near and the machine beeping,

People chattering around me,

Saying things that  I cannot understand. 

Then I see myself standing in a corridor,

All dark and not a speck of light, 

Cold as the Antarctic,

Prison cells as hot as a thousand suns. 

Wandering there I found a room,

A room which I thought was home,

Resembling to a place far suppressed in my memories,

Welcoming me inside was the ghost that haunted me. 

Guilt ridden and terrified I stood, 

Waiting for the scene to unfold,

The living hell that I had left,

Now had followed me through the doors of the unknown. 

Time moving at the pace of a snail,

Punishing my soul with the deepest fears from my past,

And there I stood trying to battle with them,

Only to fall deeper into wormhole that it was.

I stabbed him once and there I stabbed him for eternity,

Removing him from existence, 

Only to let him live in my mind,

Helplessly looking at me and yelling at me to go. 

Like decoding a labyrinth,

I staggered on my way,

Just to find an exit,

Only to be brought out from there by something, 

Hazy vision and a roaring headache,

I saw the people around me,

The defibrillator in the hands of one,

I woke up in a jerk only to rush.

With a bleeding wrist and a blood soaked shirt,

I ran to her,

Just to see her living like a machine,

A heartbeat replaced by a beep, 

I sat next to you, 

With your hands in mine,

Looking at you and asking you,

To hold on to me till eternity.

Gonna Get You

Gonna Get You

With the light from the street lamp flickering, 

Stood a shadow in the woods, 
Looking down the alley, 
As if he was searching for something. 

Staggering past the doors in the silence, 
There was something about the night,
Giving him a sense of completion,
Waiting for the end of the road.

Like a beat cop searching for a crook,
Checking every intersection,
The shadow gliding towards the darkness,
Reaching for his pocket to grab something.

Observing the look in the eyes,
A silver dagger clasped in his hands,
Marching forward towards someone, 
And like Poseidon thrusting his trident in his foe.

In one swift blow,
The silver of the dagger kissed the flesh,
With one down he moved forward,
Lurking past like a vulture looking for food.

Slowly his ghostly presence breaks the peace,
People looking for him on the street,
Yet in the darkness even the closest thing becomes invisible,
So does a shadow,

Outside a home, he stood, 
Looking in the well-lit house, 
Following her all the way, 
Just to have a glance, 

Like a spirit moving around,
For the one who forced him to fall, 
Now with the daylight breaking, 
He disappears leaving a sign behind,
Written in blood, as if shouting,
"I'm Gonna Get You".

Paint It Black

Paint It Black

With the moon beaming it's light, 
Down upon the people,
Trying to find its way through the dense fog,
With a Tyndall effect through the long December night.

Hiding in the woods he stood,
Gazing at the starry night,
Trying hard to focus his mind, 
On looking for a way out. 

As the night grows darker, 
The time starts ticking slowly, 
Slowly staggering through the riverside edge,
Dragging his body in search for his soul. 

Being cut out from the world had been a plan,
Yet something had offset it, 
As she enters the woods again,
The long lost soul inside him seems to fight back. 

Long since he had left his own personal hell,
Trying to find that glimmer of hope,
Struggling to find a path that would grant him his redemption,

Finally he saw a way out. 

With the mutilated cadaver that he roamed around with,

Being thrown into the Mystic river,

His eyes meets the evil 

That he was searching forever.

Don't Let Go

Don't Let Go

As the sun sets near the horizon,

I sit and wonder about the path that I have travelled, 

To be here where I am today, 

And the landmines which had to be sidestepped. 

The thirst of power is something that changes a man,

From a nice guy next door to a punk who rules the streets, 

Yet there is something that people never know about power, 

Which happens to be the moments lost.

I tried hard to never let my emotions ever get the best of me, 

Being broken once for me was enough I thought, 

Until I laid my eyes on you, 

Working relentlessly in order to prove something.

That moment was the first time I lay awake, 

Lost in the eyes and the smile that you had, 

An uncertain depth they had like the deepest trenches of the earth,

Making me question myself. 

Drifting away in a wave of emotions,

Landing up near the shore, 

Only to be hallucinating your face, 

You were like an angel sent to destroy me.

Like a bullet straight to the heart, 

I fell down as a heap in front of you,

Breaking all the shackles that I had, 

Only to see you vanished.

It is a little too late,

But can you save me? 

With my vision bleak, 

And no one there to help me. 

Collapsing down as if I was hit by thunder,

Nothing but your memories left in my life, 

If only I could freeze time before you leave my side, 

So now as my body lays down, 

Just don't let go of my heart, 

As all I can think about is being besides by the shadow by your side.
