Deception

(Image Source: http://www.wallpapermaven.com)

we are often deceived

by scheming lies

and half eaten truths

blinded to the core

our senses succumb

to well eroded lore

the flowers bloom

in plastic petals

hounded by the demons

we live unsettled

know what is right

don't be lured by mere sight

even darkness seems to be light

if it shines as bright

Skyscrapers

I now fail to count

the nights no longer have stars

instead, skyscrapers

Nothing Ever Remains

(Image Source: http://www.walloza.com)

nothing ever remains

even the sun would sleep one day

and yet we feel the need

to hold on to stuffs that come our way

begging for more

we forget to relish the walk today

tomorrow it would be late

and we would have nothing to say

Forest Fire

fire down the earth

and smoke in the skies

we don't know why we live

in silly burnt up lies

of progress, and development

and a bagful of money

unaware of the poison

in daily dose of honey

the rain washed away

secrets stored in her diary

along with those tears

Wilting Smile

(Image Source: http://imgkid.com)

may her smile shine forever

he had said one day

may she shed those tears never

he had promised in a way

and now when he's gone

when the path seems too wrong

when every truth stares a lie

she still stands so strong

she shall paint her own freedom

the clouds will carry her miles

she shall hold back her heart

that hides away her wilting smile

I Hereby Declare You Man And Wife

(Image Source: http://www.integratedcatholiclife.org/)

small talks

and laughter

my eyes glued

thereafter

dressed in pink

and that perfect smile

you steal my heart

yet again in style

we take oaths

make promises

we hold hands

as the music plays

I look in your eyes

and find myself there

you blush and say

"stay here forever"

we are blessed

in union divine

this marriage binds us

in eternal rhyme

the crowd cheers

and we listen in pride

"I hereby declare you man and wife.

You may now kiss the bride."

Forever

(Image Source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Van_der_Neer_-_Moonlit_Landscape_with_Bridge.jpg)

counting our steps

one at a time

in orange glow

and breezing chime

let's walk across the bridge

our fingers seek each other

dear time, please do freeze

as we lose ourselves forever

You Are The Fairy For Whom I Wait

(Image Source: http://wantedwallpapers.com/)

you are the steaming hot coffee at four

when it's still dark

and dawn

you are the first sunlit rays on shore

in dancing waves

and morn

you are the breeze humming from north

whispering in ears

sweet notes

you are the snow flake kissing the hearth

in hushed tales

we wrote

you are the promise that love does make

in secret hours

and blushes

you are the fairy for whom I wait

in shrouded nights

and wishes
