A Dark Memoir

In the Shadow of Love’s Pain: A Chronicle of Emotional Turmoil

A passionate poet that I was, is no more. There is no way to revive him, as I intend to keep a promise. To Someone special, someone who was the fuel to this passion, who was the destination of my literary journey, purpose of all my poems, dream of all my dreams, soul of each of my verses.

Poems were my way of expressing, communicating what my heart held. The more I wrote the more I fell in love with her. Few I shared, she appreciated; or I thought so. I tried to do everything that would bridge any social gap between us, resolve any concern that she might have, show her my love and care. She kept a blind eye to everything.

If my poems cannot impress her then they are not worth writing; they has only one purpose. so I stopped. Months after, she got to know, but it made no difference to her. It was then that I promised never to walk this path again in my life; it still made no difference.

“Love can break the strongest of men and it does so in most cruel, irreparable ways.”

— Anand K

I didn’t write until couple of weeks back, when it became so impossible to hold myself. I couldn’t speak to anyone, could cry, couldn’t work, couldn’t call her. So I started typing in my cellphone’s notes; it were words poured from a broken, agitated and hopeless heart. The last poem, I hope. I intend to keep my promise, all the promises.

Over years, I had composed so many pomes & verses in multiple languages just for her. I worshipped her and my poems were my prayers, having just one wish that may be someday, one of my poems would melt her heart, would show her how much I loved. But none did. She is gone now. No amount of words I say or write can bring her back.

But all those poems and verses are still there. I couldn’t get rid of them yet. 100s of them. Now it is time. I wish to step in 2024 without the burden of them. Without any attachments, without hope, without nothing.

So, I thought of putting them all here on this page. You may be wondering why I would do so?

I don’t know if I lost her at some point due to my fault or she was never mine to have. Last year and half were by far the darkest phase of life. What I went through, what I experienced; the mental and emotional state I were in, it cannot be put into words. It cannot be explained in any other way as well. Every minute I had to fight with myself to keep living till the next. There isn’t a known God of a known religion to whom I haven’t begged, I haven’t prayed; all in vain. There isn’t anything left that I didn’t try to tell her, no ounce of dignity and self-respect that I didn’t sacrifice; to her. No common friends (or so I thought) to whom I didn’t turn for help; none want to keep in touch anymore. While it never stops to hurt, I’m surely learning to live with it.

But these poems are creations from the good days of my short-lived journey as a poet. Filled with love, hope and dreams. Who knows, one of these may be useful to someone out there. Or let’s say, I wish it does. I don’t want to carry them anymore and I cannot lose them either. Let’s hope that someday, decades from now, she comes across this page. Maybe she would be able to appreciate my love.

Feel free to read them if you want, feel free to recite them to your loved ones. I wish your journey, your fate proves better than mine.

— Will it be possible ? —

A Telugu girl,
A Hindi boy.

She needs a bramhin,
He doesn’t believe in caste.

She carries list of criterias,
He doesn’t fit in even in one.

Can they be together ?
How will it become possible ?

He loves her with life,
She doesn’t even know.

He can’t express,
She doesn’t understand.

Can they be together ?
How will it become possible ?



2

— You are my only desire —

You call me a poet,
And urge that, for you
Something i should write,
My love for you
In words, I should describe.

So here is my try,
To fulfill, your this desire.

My love, you are my life
You are the source to
Whatever i write
Its for you that
My poetries thrive.

You are most beautiful
And the kindest soul
All my sorrows goes away
With your one smile
With your love, my life shines.

Yes, I am a poet
And yet, to describe you
It’s difficult, words to find
More I think, the more i realize
your heart is a place most shrine.

You my lady, you are
My Queen, my Aphrodite
I seek you in all my prayers
To love you and being loved
My love, are my only desires.



3

— You are the one —

You are the Music of my songs,
You are the Words of my silence.
You are the Dream in my dreams,
You are the Rhythm in my poems.

You are the Awareness of my mind,
You are the Distraction of my heart.
You are the Book I everyday read,
You are the Story I wish to write.

You are the Devine light in my life,
You are the Darkness in which, I want to hide.
You are the Awards that I recieve,
You are the Solitude that I always seek.

You are the Myth I believe,
You are the Truth I percieve.
You are the Promise I want to keep,
You are the One, with whom I want to live.



4

— Then came you —

There was a time,
When there were no emotions.

No feelings, no bonding
No relevance or belongings
No attachments to anything or anyone.

Then came you,
Like a fairy from tales
And life happened to me.

Now a days,
I get driven by emotions at times
I can feel happiness, and pain too.

When I see you,
I feel my heart beating
I feel attachment, a belongingness.

When I am with you,
I smile, as i find peace, and hope
I see a place to be in, a purpose to live for.

Your sight, pleases my heart,
Your fragrance, soothes my heart
With you only, I want my life to thrive.

Taking with you,
Calms me down when angry, and
Doubles the happiness, when I’m happy.

With you I feel alive,
You compliment me in ways no one can
You complete me in ways no one can.

In every moment,
When I’m with you or think of you
You make me a little more human.

I seek you in ways no one can,
I love you in ways no one can.



5

— How much more —

My day starts and ends with you,
How much more should I love you.

All my prayers starts and ends for you,
How much more should I love you.

All my desires starts and ends with you,
How much more should I love you.

All my answers starts and ends on you,
How much more should I love you.

All reasons to live, starts and ends on you,
How much more should I love you.



6

— Your devine Love —

When your shadow falls on me
I appear beautiful,
When you look at me with love
I appear adorable,
It’s power of your divine love that
Makes me lovable.



7

— How should I express ? —

How should I convince you ?

should I write you a poem
Or, sing a song for you ?
Should I draw a portrait of yours
Or, just sit and talk with you ?
Should I take you somewhere
Or, give you a beautiful present ?
Should I say words of praises
Or, pamper you with chocolates ?
Should I click your pictures
Or, help you with your makeups ?

What should i do? How should I tell ?
You mean life to me, How do I express ?



8

— I do not wish for —

I do not wish for
wealth or fame,
I do not wish for
Diamond or pearls.

I do not wish for
Boon or fortune,
I do not wish for
Knowledge or wisdom.

I do not wish for
Light or darkness,
I do not wish for
A life of gloriousness.

I do not wish for
Heaven or paradise,
I do not wish for
Any place very shrine.

I only wish for
Your happiness and love,
To give you all that I have
In return, just being loved.



9

— You are the ‘Happy Ending’ —

I am the body, whose
You are the soul.
I am the heart, of which
You are the pulsation.

I am the infinte sea, whose
You are the gentle waves.
I am the blissfull morning, of which
You are the sunshine.

I am the evening, whose
You are the twilight.
I am the song, of which
You are the lyrics.

I am the traveller, whose
You are the destination.
I am the life, of which
You are the emancipation.

I am the lonely eyes, whose
You are the only dream.
I am the story, of which
You are the ‘happy ending’.



10

— Are you real ? —

I don’t know if you are real
Or just a dream,
That my heart wishes to come true.

I dont know if my soul want you
Or, it’s my mind
That is playing tricks on me.

But, one thing I know is
My heart, mind and soul agrees
On One thing, And its you, only you.



11

— With you by my side —

My love didn’t reach you in one day,
It took centuries of contemplation,
It took me years to realise, and
Several more to dare to accept.

For us, the path ahead won’t be so easy,
The world will not be so understanding,
But, I can make our dreams come true,
I can make us happen, if you agree.

With you by my side, I do not fear
To anything or anyone, because
With you by my side, I do believe
Above all fears, love will flourish.

With emotions if you nurture, I believe
Our love will blossom, against all odds
If you hold my hands, I believe, together
We will rise beyond the destiny set by Gods.

With you by my side, I believe
The Gods will also be generous,
Paths will open for love to win,
As fortune serves its purpose.



12

— The Dream —

Everyday, I open my phone
See that one photo of yours,
On my worries it works like a cure,
Then thanking the almighty,
With a mild smile on my face,
Mind occupied with your thoughts,
And hopefull at heart, I go to rest.

But it rarely so happens,
That I wake up with a smile too,
It happens when I dream of you,
When i see us together, in a dream,
Yes, even in dreams, you never say ‘Yes’
Yet, you hold my hands, and
About the world, you worry a little less.



13

— Your love–

Your company does not bring any new habbit in
me
Your love does not make me a different
person
Everyday, You just make me a better vesion of
myself
Thus for me, there couldn’t anyone better than
You.



14

— I will try —

It’s okay,
You don’t have to say it,
Not even a word needs to be spoken.

You silence, ever charming smile,
And the twinkle of your eyes,
These tell me everything that it must.

Smile on your face
Tells me that, you too
Feel love, just like I do

Twinkle of your eyes,
Tell me, you too dream,
You too wish the same, as I do.

And your silence,
It speaks the most, it says
For us, even harder I must try.

To fulfill our dream,
Breaking the prejudices,
For love to win, harder I have to try.

I promise to you,
I will try, for you, for us
With all the love in my heart, I will try.



15

— Away from you —

If I cannot be with you,
If my love cannot change your heart,
In this delusional world,
I don’t need anything for myself.

Yes, separated from you,
My whole life will surely fall apart,
But, don’t you worry,
Everyday, I will make a fresh start.

At the house of worship,
Everyday, I’ll seek only you welbeing,
And in my solitude,
Always, your songs only I will sing.

Though this love,
From my heart I cannot displant,
Be assured, once gone,
I won’t showup again, untill you want.

For a sight of yours,
Every moment, My eyes will yearn,
But, in dreams and
In memories, I will meet you again.

Away from you, this love
I will nurture with your memories,
When someone asks about love
I will tell them, all your stories.



16

— Love is never easy —

You not looking at me when I try to talk
You not answering when I ask about us,
You not uttering a word but ‘No’, and
Skipping events because of my presence,
All these strengthen my belief, that you too
Feel love, as i do, but cannot accept it yet.

But it is fine, yes it is absolutely fine
And you can take as much the time,
It took me years to accept this feeling
If you do the same, I won’t be complaining,
Now as I’ve realized, you, how much i do love
I’ll wait till last breath, upon us I won’t give up.

It won’t be called love if it comes easy
But by getting afraid of the difficulties,
Shall one cannot stop loving ?
Path of true love, has always been difficult
So will be ours, but if you remain by my side,
I promise, We will pass all the tests together.



17

— I’ll keep loving you —

It’s okay if you don’t want to meet
It’s okay if you don’t want to talk
You are a free soul,
You can fly where ever you want
You can choose whomever you want.

You don’t need to tell me the reason
You don’t need to give any clarification
It’s your life to live,
You have all the rights to take any decision
For me it’s enough if you give one indication.

As it’s for me, I will keep loving you
I remember your memories and fragrance
My love is not weak,
It doesn’t depend on any substance
It won’t get affected by any distance.

Yes, to see you once my eyes will yearn
But I’ve your memories, thus no concerns
And my heart, It’ll wait,
As before you there lived no one
And after you, shall never come anyone.



18

— Since the day —

Since the day
I decided to tell you,
I decided my feelings to express
Instead of keeping it suppressed.
Since the day
I decided to give us a chance
Instead of killing all hopes
I decided to try atleast for once.

Since then
My love has grown even stronger,
Unconsciously you have made
A place in my very subconscious.
Now it’s difficult
To get rid of you thoughts,
No matter how much i try
In memory lane, you only I come across.

Since that very day
You have become my bae,
There never passes a day, when
Away from your thoughts, I can stay.
Inside my mind
I feel an array of thoughts
Running in an infinite loop
And them, I am unable to stop.

Since I told you
There never goes by a moment,
When I don’t think of you
When I don’t feel love for you.
And since then
To me it has been very clear,
You are the one, whom
I’ve been seeking in all my prayers.



19

— You will love me too —

I have seen fortunes to change
One day mine will change too,
As much I do love you today
One day you will love me too.

I have seen God turn generous
One day he will listen to me too,
And, as much I seek you today
One day you will seek me too.

I have seen miracles happening
One day this will happen too,
The moment of love that I felt
One day you will that too.

I have seen hearts melting
One day yours will melt too,
As much I do love you today
One day you will love me too.



20

— How long —

How long will you enchain your love?
How long will you keep your feelings enclose?
It’s time to express it and let your heart repose.

How long still will you hide?
How long against it will you fight?
It’s time to turn this loneliness into delight.

How long, the springs will you seize?
How long will you not listen to your heart?
It’s time let it free and make a fresh start.

How long will you take to realise?
How long still will you act unaware?
It’s time that to love we must swear.

How long will you not make the move?
How long will you take to understand?
It’s time surrender and let love to command.

How long the blossoms will you deny?
How long in solitude will you stay?
It’s time what your soul desires you do convey.

How long will you not speak?
How long yourself will you resist?
It’s time accept the love between us that exist.



21

— EveryDay —

Letters of your love
Are still with me
I read them every day.

All your keepsakes
I have kept them safe
I talk with them every day.

All your memories
Are my treasuries,
I sleep with them every day.

Dreams we saw together
They are alive in me,
I wake up with them every day.

Savoury aroma of yours
Are still so fresh
Around me i feel it every day.

All those poems and our stories
Remained with me as melodies,
They echo in me every day.

Your memories, our dreams
Your fragrance, our love
The stories and the keepsakes,

Forever with me they will stay
And, with them
Happily, I will live everyday.



22

— When we meet alone —

When we meet alone,
When no one would be listening to us,
I will explain you, how much i do love.

I will then ask you,
To forget the world for once,
And to speak what your heart wants.

On that day,
I will take all your fears away,
And all your worries, I will slay.

Settling your concerns,
When secrets of love I do say,
You will see, how love makes its way.



23

— I thought of —

I thought of giving you the sky, but
How can I make the stars homeless ?
Though not for me, but they do bring
Luck and love to so many.
And this moon, it is the only companion
Of so many broken hearts
How can I, from them take the moon away
From the moon, how can I take the sky away ?



24

— If she says ‘Yes’ —

She says ‘No’ everytime,
She knows, if she say ‘Yes’
Unable to control my emotions
I may loose my senses,
And go mad of happiness.

What she doesn’t understand is
Without her I am lifeless,
Every ‘No’ from her
Kills my conviction a little,
And causes an infinite distress.

She doesn’t understand that
I may appear living and smiling
Happy and prospering, but
It’s just a delusion I’m creating,
As without her, a life I cannot imagine.



25

— With You —

With you, I want to
Sit at home the whole day doing nothing,
With you, I want to
Go travelling to the farthest corners of world,
With you, I want to
Talk the whole night and fall asleep at dawn,
With you, I want to
Go on walk and keep walking till the end of roads.



26

— Every Moment —

Every Moment
My heart seeks your closeness,
It wishes only for your wellness.
Every Moment
My eyes cry for your one sight,
My eyes, in you finds its delight.
Every Moment
My subconscious thinks of your nearness,
My subconscious prays for your presence.
Every Moment
My hands want to feel your touch,
Ohh! To get you it tries so much.
Every Moment
My heart, my eyes, my hands
My every breath yearns for your acceptance.



27

— The Nucleus —

She is
The nucleus
Positive, stable,
I am an electron
Full of negative charges,
But I’m different in one way
I’m not trying to set myself free,
I want to remain bounded to her orbits
I want to coalesce my existence into hers.



28

— You —

All the colours resides in you,
You are the source of-
All fragrances that exists,
All the blossoms are for you,
Beauty in this world
Gets its definition from you.



29

— I won’t be around —

A day will come
You will realise
When, you will cry
And Midst the tears
You will call my name
To see me, for once
When you will try.

But remember
When that day arrives
And to come back,
Even if you try
No matter how many times
My name you do call
I will not reply.

You won’t find me
I won’t be around
For I will go so far
From where, for anyone
There is no coming back
And nothing reaches there
Not even prayers or the cries.



30

— My humming bird —

She is always
Half tough, half sweet.

At times
She laughs heartily
At others
Nothing she speaks.

Yet some times
She hums of her own
The tunes, which
To her only are known.

Her voice so alluring
Never before I had heard
Charmed from it
I call her, ‘My humming bird’.



31

— With us in unison —

I’m the voice
You are the song
To hum you
So much I do long
All that is mine
To you only it belongs
If we become one
Nothing would go wrong
With us in unison
Everything will fall along.



32

— Even if I chose wrong —

Even if I have done wrong
I don’t care at all,
Even if I have chosen wrong
I don’t care at all,
Now that I have chosen you
I won’t pull back.

If you decide to choose me too
Just stand by your call,
Together we will see and dwell
All that is to befall,
Whatever happens in the future
From you I’ll not sheer off.

Now that I have chosen you
I don’t care at all,
Even if I have chosen wrong
This is my call.



33

— Without You —

Its been months since I saw you, touched you
Since I heard your sweet voice
Yet, here I’m, breathing fine
This means I surely won’t die without you.

And all this while, when I was away from you,
Every day, day and night,
I’ve been thinking only about you
Doesn’t it prove, I can not live without you?



34

— all those poesies —

All that I write,
All those poems
Speaks only about you,
Every poesy that I pen
Only one thing they intend
To reflect my love for you.

With the touch of your lips
And caressing of your voice
My poems will get a life,
To be read by you just once
To be accepted by you
Each of them always strive.



35

— Today and Always —

You say yes today
Or accept me never
My love remains same
Let happen what ever.

It just could be
Never to be together
Or it could be
A happily ever after.

What ever you decide
It will happen hereafter
As today and always
You’ll be the master.

And as it’s for me
I will keep loving
To get your ‘yes’
I will keep trying.



36

— I am Sorry —

I seek your pardon, For my foolishness
I know I was wrong and caused you distress.
But, I just happened to get carried away
By the desire of hearing your voice, if I may.
The most pleasant and sweetest of all
Everytime on hearing which more in love I fall.

I will not do it again without due permission
I promise you this, have no suspicion.
To make you smile, and to be loved by you
Inside me are the only ambition due.
Its you who gives me hope, and a living desire
Against me destiny had always conspire. 

Thus hear my words, each of it I truly mean
You are my love, my thoughts are very clean.
To block me or do anything of such kind
If the thought crosses your mind! I beg you, 
Even for a slightest moment if that do happen
Instead, please kill me with your own hands.



37

— Her soul is the kernel —

Her body is like a tome
The heart, home of love.
Her soul is the kernel
Of devine opus of love. 

Each page consisting of
Countless magical spell.
Waiting, to be construed
So that love can prevail. 



38

— I urge you to —

You ask me to, not to love you
Not even to say it, even once!
But I urge you, before discarding
Do give it and me just one chance.

When have ever love been restrained
By boundaries of languages and caste?
I urge you, do not make it a constraint
Believe me, all obstruction love would outlast.
 
I urge you to not to be
On denying end always
If you see through heart,
You will see new ways.

I urge you, to accept my one request
Let us spend sometime together
And, try to understand each other
Does it brings happiness! let us discover. 



39

— To impress her —

Wise things
Then stupid things,
Some good poems
Followed by stupid ones,
A walk together
And the late night talks.

All these, just to impress her
The one, whom I hold so dear.

Thinking ways
To prove my love,
Trying to show
How much I do care
Round the clock
I remain lost in her thoughts.

And yet, receiving a ‘No’
Is what, the most I always fear.



40

— All kind of No —

Innocent No, Playful No
Childish No, Lovable No
Beautiful No, Bold No
Harsh No, Hurting No
Tricky No, Alluring No
Tempting No, Tearing No

A No that gives Hope
Another that takes life

She has all kind of Nos in store,
Oh! So many Nos, and yet
Every time she says a No
With her I fall in love even more.



41

— A poem that would —

Someone give me a poem
That will melt her heart,
A gift that would make her
Accept my love.

I write everyday
For her, what i could, but
None touches her heart
The way they should.

I called her ‘my queen’
Whom with my life I’ll serve,
I called her the dove
Who taught me how to love.

I tried poems and chocolates
I tried to make her surprise,
I tried heart to heart conversation
None could stir her emotion.

I couldn’t tell her
That without her I cannot live,
I couldn’t explain
For me, how precious she is.

Someone tell me a poem
That would touch her heart,
A gift that would make her
Accept my love.



42

— Isn’t that love —

Sometimes,
I don’t have anything to talk about,
Still with you always I want to talk.
Isn’t that love ?

To me,
Your thoughts are most pleasant of all,
Talking with you fills me with happiness.
Isn’t that love ?

Everyday,
Seeing you, pleases my eyes
To see you again, I always yearn.
Isn’t that love ? 

Every time,
Hearing your voice soothes the heart,
To keep listening to you is all I want.
Isn’t that love?



43

— Like earth and sun —

Like the earth tries to
Set free from sun’s orbit
She is trying every moment
To go away from me.

The only difference is
Sun holds on to earth
By giving light and life
For which the earth strives.
 
But, like sun I couldn’t shine
I couldn’t make her stay
Unable to bind her with love
From me, I let her go away.



44

— Like clouds covering the sun —

I like it when you leave your hair untied
Allowing them, with air to float
When, them the breeze gently strokes.

Like the clouds covering the sun
When on that adorable face they fall
A sight so pleasant I often recall.

I amaze how it adds a lighter tint,
On your bright winsome face
Just trying to enhance the grace.

I like the mild scent with which
The surrounding gets filled, oh dear!
When the breeze kisses your hairs.
 
Fixing those fallen strands, when
With a cute but an annoyed face
You look at me, that sight is my favorite.



45

— love is not always found —

Love is not always found
Sometimes it is developed,
Over years, slowly, gradually
As I developed love for you.

It was not the ‘love at first sight’
It’ll not die at one moment sudden,
It took years, in me to permeate
It will take a life time before it fades.

It did not fall on me from heavens
I will not allow it from me to be taken,
With this love, everyday I rise and sleep
Till last breathe, in my heart I will keep.



46

— Dream or reality —

Is it dream,
Reality, magic or destiny !
I don’t know.

But my today,
Tomorrow and everyday
Is you, only you.

Will I get you?
Are you meant for me!
I dont know.

But I was,
Am and will be yours,
Of that I’m sure.

Your heart
Ever I will win or not,
I don’t know.

But my heart
Was, is and will be yours,
Of that I’m sure.



47

— You are a Doll —

My love is true
You do know it,
For you I cry
You too know it.

How much I long
Its know to all,
You are a doll
For whom I’ve fall.

I will love you
So much so that,
In you only, always
My esse gets lost.

So much so that
One day you will too
with me fall in love
Just Like I have.



48

— Even without you —

Even without you
Nothing will change,
Everything will be there as it is
Except the desire and happiness.
 
Even without you
Nothing will change
Everything will remain same
Except there will not be any poems.

Even without you
Nothing will be lost
Everything will be present
Except love will not be there anymore.

Even without you
Nothing will be lost
Everyone will be around
Except I will not be alive anymore.



49

— Found and discovered —

Some people are lucky to find love
Sometimes we don’t find love
Sometimes we discover it, but
I think I both found and dicovered you.

Found, as it was indeed destiny
That brought you in my life
I think it id devine decision
That in you true love I would find.

Discovered, as it was not
The love at first sight, but
I nurtured it over years
Gradually overcoming all the fears.

— As change is constant —

There is a saying
‘Just like seasons people change’
Yes, I change too
As a person, as a human being,
I have been changing
The more I learn, The more I change,
And more I grow
May be not outside, not for the world,
But inside, I grow everyday
In my conscience I grow everyday.

What you knew about me
May be or may not be true anymore,
How you know me today
I will not be the same person always,
With time I will change
May be into a better person, or wrong one,
Of that I am uncertain
But what is inevitable is the change,
The change with
Every new lesson, and each new experience.

Even my love for you
Yes, even love is not constant, it may change,
But, for my love for you
There is only one way, there is no going back,
Till my senses work
It will increase, every day it will only increase,
But one thing is constant
I love you today, and I will love you always,
I will love only you
Today, tomorrow and always, by all ways.

As change is constant
Who knows! Someday you may also change,
When stars change places,
Who knows that my fortune wouldn’t change!
You don’t love me today
But who knows! I may win your heart,
And as I love you today
Tomorrow, your love I may also gain !
How much I yearn today,
Who knows tomorrow you may do the same.



51

— The journey and the destination —

You are my destinstion
And of this journey,
You are the reward too.

Let us say that someday
Wandering on to path of love
Someday, I do find you
I do reach my destination
And I do get rewarded.

Won’t I still be the seeker
Rovering on to unknown paths
Still searching for my destination
As not only the destination, but
You yourself are my journey too.

Will any thing change?
Will the journey end ?
And if it does end there
Will it be worth reaching
The destination after all.

Because You are my journey too
Though I want to find you someday
To reach my ultimate destination
I do not want this journey to end
The journey which itself is you.



52

— When I think of love —

When I think of love
I think of you,
When I think of happiness
I think of you.

No song in world is sweeter than which
I think of that voice of yours,
Nothing is more caresing than which
I think of that hands of yours.

When I think of love
I think of you,
When I think of beauty
I think of you.

No sunshine is warmer than which
I think of that smile of yours,
No breeze is more soothing than which
I think of those breaths of yours.

When I think of love
I think of you,
When I think of hope
I think of you.

Nothing in world is pleasant than which
I think of those memories of yours
No eyes holds more secrets than which
I think of those eyes of yours.

When I think of love
I think of you,
When I think poetry
I think of you.

Nothing could be more alluring than which
I think of those lips of yours,
Nothing could be more charming than which
I think of that smile of yours.

When I think of love
I think of you,
When I think of life
I think of you.



53

— you are —

You are the destination
I always strive to reach,
You are the belief
That I always preach.

you are the rainbow
On my heart’s sky that shines
you are the poetry
With my heart that rhymes.

You are the only feat
In life I want to achieve,
You are the courage
Every moment that I need.

You are the path
On which everyday I walk,
You are the light
That my soul always seeks.



54

— Short of words —

I always want to tell you
How much I love you, but
Always I fall short of words.

I am not the person you want
I am different from you, but
Whatever I am, I am all yours.

I don’t know how to explain
I don’t know if you believe,
All I think about is just you.

I don’t know of tomorrow
I don’t know what future holds
All I know is present, this moment.

And in this moment
All I know is I love you,
I love only you.

I love you the way you are
I love the stubborn you,
I love the innocent you.

I love the glamorous you
I love the naughty you
I love the careless you.

I love the sweet you
I love the confused you,
I love the childish you.

I love the party girl
I love the homesick too,
I love everything about you.

I love you how you are
I love you, who you are
I love you and all of you.

I always want to tell you
But I fall short of words
To explain how much I love you.



55

— She is —

She is polite,
She is caring
A pure heart
A loving soul
But then
She is ignorant
She is indifferent
She is quiet and
Most unresponsive.

She is modern
Most glamorous
An elegant lady
But at times
She is messy
Old fashioned
And just careless.

She is outgoing
She is fun loving
But again
She is homesick
And the laziest. 

But in all avatars
She is adorable
She is cute
She is sweet
She is loveable.

She herself is
The incarnation
Of love
She is the best
That I can get.



56

— Cold elegance —

The oval face of hers
And its features so delicate,
An angelic beauty she incarnates.

The innocent look of hers
And the delightful appearance,
A divine grace she has embraced.

The fragrance she wears,
And the color that is innate,
Her, so alluring they do make. 

The lustrous eyes of hers
And the charming smile she estates,
With those an enigma always she creates.

The melodious voice
And a well polished attitude,
A cold elegance she incorporates.



57

— divine realisations —

What I write are not only poems
They are not just symphony of words
They aren’t only piece of literature
Or, hollow sentences that I create
They are never only fantasies of mine
They are not mere words that I rhyme.

They are what I see and think of you
They are what I understand about you
They are what my conscience speaks
They are my emotions flowing free
From the very depth of my heart
They are how my soul reverberate
They are ways how myself I express
They are my realizations, truly divine.



58

— you will hum —

Don’t you worry,
I am in no hurry
Doesn’t matter
How long it takes
I’m ready to wait.

There is no rush
My love for you
I will conserve
In time I’ll get love
That, if I deserve.

No matter what comes
Only you I will love
One day I believe
Your heart will turn
And my name you’ll hum.



59

— To all known Gods —

Since I have told you
For you the fellings
In my heart I keep
Since I have expressed
Since then,
In every breath I took
I have loved you
In every moment I live
I have think’ed you
Since then,
All the wishes I made
I did them for you
To all the known gods
I have sought only you.




60

— balcony —

I want to stand in that balcony
With you standing beside me,
You’ll look at stars in amazement
I will look at your face with love
Your eyes will be filled with dreams
I will have a faint smile on mine.



61

— Devine Gift —

For me,
The sun is you
You’re the sunshine,
My world lies in you
It’s you, who makes it shine,
To me, you are a gift so Devine.



62

— Dilemma —

He decided to share
His life with her

She decided to share
not even the feelings

He was in love
She was in dilemma.



63

— empty path —

Your love is that never ending empty path
On which I’m walking with my eyes closed,
Turning back is not possible now, or ever
To hold my hands or not, to guide me or not,
Is your choice.



64

— He waits —

Everyday,
Till very late in night
Until his eyes are tired
Of looking at the sky,
He waits for a reply.

And then,
He falls asleep
With sorrow in heart
And dreams in eyes,
Her dreams..



65

— Poems: hollow words —

I wished my poems to get alive,
To breathe, to speak
To tell you how much I love you,
And all reasons too.

I wanted my poems to convey
All my feelings to you
I wanted my poems to answer
All your questions.

To address all your queries,
To resolve all your worries
To touch your heart with love
To make you believe my love.

But, they never breathed
They remained silent
Never reached your heart
Never spoke in my favor.

They remained mere words
Lifeless, useless.
They remained hollow words
That couldn’t express my love.



66

— Everyday I fail —

Everyday I think
I will not call you,
Everyday I think
I will not text you,
Everyday I think
I’ll not disturb you,
Everyday I think
I’ll not think of you,
Everyday I try
Everyday I fail.



67

— Is it necessary —

Is it necessary to have
A reason to love someone?
Aren’t reasons temporary?
Doesn’t people and reasons
Keep changing with time?

If a reason dies
will the love die too?
Is that love even?
Is not true love
greater than any reason?



68

— Just like today —

Me loving you doesn’t mean
That you have to love me too
You not loving me doesn’t mean
That I cannot love you.

Irrespective of what follows
Whether you accept me or not
I would always keep loving you
Just like today I do.



69

— my moon —

Today the moon in full in the sky,
For all love-birds
this evening is like a dream.
But I’m sitting here alone,
with yearning eyes
As my moon is nowhere to be seen.



70

— The radiant smile —

Every time a gentle breeze touches my face
I search in it for your fragrance,
Everyday when I witness the sun to rise
It reminds me of your radiant smile.



71

— Rainbow —

When ever I get drenched
In your memories,
With all your hues
You shine on my heart’s sky
After every rain
Like the rainbow shines.



72

— Seven Weird changes that love caused —

I’m less focused as I keep thinking about you
But I’m more determined.

I feel afraid now a days, which was not usual
But I’m more positive as well.

I was never attached with anything or anyone
But now there are exceptions.

I do not feel to write if I can not write for you
But I became a better writer too.

I feel disinterested in everything even myself
But now I wish to grow as well.

Since I loved you I remain thoughtful and lost
But first time in life I feel happy too.

Living with me, tolerating me is very difficult
But I want to become easy for you.



73

— Small Moments —

Love is not about
A happily ever after
There are struggles always
Love is about struggling together
Its about holding on to each other
Living the small moments
Smiling and being happy
In those moments
Love is what you feel
In that one moment.



74

— show me way —

What to do!
How to convince you?
A path no longer I can see,
I dont know what else to say or plea.
Now, you show me what way to take
Because, my love is not fake
Without you I can not
live a day.



75

— you have no idea —

For a very long time,
I’ve prayed everyday
I did so many times a day.
You have no idea
How much I’ve sought you. (1)

To all the known Gods
In my every prayer
I have seeked only you.
You have no idea
How much I’ve loved you. (2)

In every gentle way
I have tried
For you only I’ve strived
You have no idea
How much I have cried. (3)

Your ignorance kills me
Your one smile
In me brings back the life.
You have no idea
How much I have survived. (4)

All my sorrows get revived
With your one smile
Your love keeps me alive.
You have no idea
How much I have strived. (5)

Distant from you,
Unable to see you even once
Several times evryday I died.
You have no idea
How much I have strived. (6)

You make me anxious
You make me happy
For everything source is you.
You have no idea
How much I’ve loved you. (7)



76

— my morning sun — 

I love sun rises,
Stand facing the sun
Feel its rays touching me
Feel the warmth that it brings.

Around you I could feel
The same warmth filling me up
Refreshing and encouraging me
For the day to start.

When you smile to me
I feel even better,
Your smile is more pleasing
Than softly shining morning sun.

For me it is a feeling very new,
And that’s why I love you.



77

— eternal beauty & worldly glamour — 

You are the perfect combination of
Eternal beauty and worldly glamour
You are the damsel, fairest of fair
Yet for all beings, in your heart
You posses so much of love and care.

Countless of times, in words
Your beauty I have tried to paint,
But after all my endeavours,
What I find is, your devine charm
In words none can ever explain.

Never before had I seen,
A heart so pure, neither I
Experienced a feeling so true
And that’s why I love you. 



78

— Life feels like a painting — 

To be with you I always ploy, as
Your companionship gives me joy,
Your voice, sweetest of all
All my anxieties it always destroy.
 
When I am around you,
I tend to lose my senses,
As, my heart swims and play
In the stream of happiness.

When I see you smiling
Life feels like a painting,
In which you added all hues
And that’s why I love you.



79

— You read all my poems — 

You have no interest in literature
Yes, of this fact I am aware,
Yet you read all my poems
With such keen pleasure.

Let it be the poems
Or stories or my stupid quotes
You read them through,
And you praise them too.

Such a darling you are
So sweet of nature
I fall in love with you
After learning this gesture.

A word of admiration from you
How blissful it feels,
You have no clue
And that’s why I love you.



80

— new turn of life — 

There was a time, when
I had no attachment to anyone
Not the slightest sign of love
A time, when I cared for none.

I was filled with shades of dark
But, since I came to know you
Slowly you are clearing them
And adding the positive spark.

And see me today,
What have I become ?
With you I want to cry and smile
Holding your hands in mine
Through good and bad times
I want to walk those miles.

Humility, Kindness, modesty
Politeness and compassion
Are the qualities few
That I witness in you
And when I state this,
I’m not delusional, I assure you.

Since I came to know you
My life took a new turn
To care, to love, to smile
From you only, I have learnt
On me, such is the effect of you
And that’s why I love you.



81

— You Inspire Me —

What can I say further
So beautiful you are
Anyone would fall in love,
To have you as companion,
To any hardship
Any man would venture.

With your love, everyday
A better writter I become,
you guide me
To become a better person
Everyday, you inspire me
In life, to have more passion.

In words I cannot describe
How important you are,
For you how much I strive,
But it’s true, If I don’t love you
I don’t know what else to do,
And that’s why I love you.



82

— Heart of Gold —

You have a heart of gold
This is fact, that
The world knows
And I’m assured
Of you there is no other fold.

You have revealed to me
The beautiful world
The deepest of seas
And purest of lakes
You have given me the soul.

You came in my life
To be mine and
Make me yours
This always I knew
And that’s why I love you.



83

— Found only you —

How much do I love you?
Even I do not know
Feelings I experience for you
To the depth of it, I couldn’t go.

As many layers of my heart
That I could and did open
In all of them I found only you
And that’s why I love you.



84

— A feeling of endless love —

Only true feeling,
That I have presently
Is my endless love for you.

Only thing,
That I wish in life
Is Always being with you.

Sometimes, 
I feel like I breathe you,
The reason I live is only you.

I learnt about love,
It’s only because of you,
Of all my dreams the kernel is you.

Without you,
I don’t know what would I do,
And that’s why I love you.



85

— You bring all the hues —

I have qualities very few
I’m surely no match for you
But hold my hands if you do
I promise, I’ll make it through.

Your thoughts soothes my pain
Loving you gives me strength
You are like the rainbow
That shines only after the rain.

You bring in my life all hues
And that’s why I love you.



86

— When I think of rain —

When I think of Spring, I think of You
When I think of Rain, I think of You
When I think of Evenings, I think of You
When I think of Mornings, I think of You
When I think of Moon, I think of You
When I think of Sunshine, I think of You
When I think of Blossoms, I think of You
When I think of Love, I think of You
And that’s why I love you.



87

— Allow a little joy —

In the short life I have
I want myself,
To allow a little joy.

But then I realize
Joy comes from you,
My happiness lies in you.

Whatever life I have
I want it with you.

I want to live
And Laugh with you,
I want to cry with you.

I want to listen to you
Tell you all my stories,
To solve all your worries.

I want a life with you,
And that’s why I love you.



88

— The special one —

The heart can read
The language of eyes
Of anyone, but
It beats for only one.

The heart can understand
The language of silences
Of anyone, but
It speaks for only one.

The heart can care
It can cry or laugh
For anyone, but
It seeks only one.

The special one,
One it feels as its own
One, absence of whose
Makes it all alone.

For my heart
That special one
The one who means
The whole world.

To my heart
Its heart and its soul
Is you, only you
And That’s why I love you. 



89

— Beyond reasons —

Love deepndent on
A reason, or
Certain conditions
Eventually fades away.

If love is true
It is bound to be
Condition less
Beyond limit of reasons.

Love is larger
Than any reason
Any material gain
Any worldly desire.

I feel such love for you
A love beyond reasons
Above earthy desires
And that’s why I love you.



90

— The Contrasting Characteristics —

I like the cheerfulness hidden in you
And the calmness that you showcase
I love the determination that you hold
And to anything your responses so cold.

I like the maturity you always display
And I like that kid inside you that play
I like the innocent heart that you keep
The grace with which all men you sweep.

I like the laziest girl that you are
Who always wants to stay inside
And I like very much the party girl
Whom from me you still hide.

I like the careless, childish you
That always makes me smile
For everyone that always cares
That heart so very tender and fragile.

All these qualities of yours
The contrasting characteristics
All these always makes me smile
I wish to spend with you all my life.

I know there is more of you
I wish to know all about you
I like everything about you
And that’s why I love you.



91

— The girl who —

The girl who feels like dream is you
The girl who feels like a boon is you
The girl who feels like mine is you
The girl who feels like home is you.

The girl all my life I’ve searched for
The girl, till eternity I want to love
Yes, I have found that girl in you
And that’s why I love you.



92

— Moment of peace —

In the world full of chaos
You are my moment of peace,
In the world full of darkness
You are my beam of light
That inspires me towards life.

You are the only desire
To fullfill which I always strive
Even if I own the world
But do not have your love
In this world I’d be most deprived.

Only thing that I crave for
Is being loved by you
Only thing that I wish to
Is for you to love me
And I always being with you.

When all desires are fulfilled
What is left in me is you
After the absolute renunciation
What is left in me is you
And that’s why I love you.



93

— The Key —

You are like the key that
Unlocks infinte possibilities in me

And that’s is why I love you.



94

— Dream —

I see you in dreams when asleep
And You are the dream that
Does not let me sleep.

Your dreams keeps me awake
For several long and lonely nights
Then dreaming you I fall asleep too.

When awake I dream of you
When asleep I dream of you
And that’s why I love you.



95

— You resonate in me —

Believe me I say only true,
In my conscious mind
And in subconscious too
I always think about you.

Sometimes I feel even if
I am unconscious or 
After I am dead even
I’d keep thinking about you.

Such is your effect
Such is your presence
Like the sound of heart
In me you do resonate.

I cannot think anything but you,
In this world, in this life now
I cannot live without you
And that’s why I love you.



96

— Intensity of love —

Everyday
When I wake up
When I mediate
Read, write or work
When I go to sleep
When I see a dream.

Every moment
I realise how deeply
I am in love with you
With every realisation
More and more
I fall in love with you.

Such intensity
I can feel for you
And that’s why I love you.



97

— Bathed in your purity —

My heart bathe in your purity
My eyes delight with your beauty
My mind contemplate on your alterity
My soul wants to be yours till eternity.

Your smile, your voice, your love
My subconscious reverberates
Upon me such is your authority
Not wordly affection but divinity.

My heart, mind and soul
All of me, always seeks
Togetherness with you
And that’s why I love you.



98

— tranquillity —

My otherwise anxious heart
Feels relaxed when it resonates with you,
My otherwise restless mind
Finds tranquility when I think about you,
Of all my weariness solution is you
And that’s why I love you.



99

— Make life anew —
 
In the era of lies and fakeness
In you I see a person very innocent
Who sometimes is very loving
Sometimes just nonchalant

While I know nothing of innocence
Wandering in my own space
I create dreams and lives, but
With the world I keep my distance.

With our qualities so different
Each other certainly we will entertain
And everyday will make the life anew
And that’s why I love you.



100

— Filled me with love —

A vile person I were
You gave me worth,
I was living in dearth
When came an angel
And filled me with love,
It could not be done
By anyone but you
And that’s why I love you.



101

— Your thoughts —

Your thoughts keeps me distracted
Yet I think of you when focused,
Even while working I think of you
Everyday it’s on you, that meditate too,
My first thought in the morning is you
My last thought every evening is you,
And that’s why I love you. 



102

|| One reason – No reason ||

I cannot give you one reason
For why do I love you ? 
Because, with time reasons die
And with the reason dies love. 

But my love will not, ever.
It’s not dependent on any one reason
I love you for all reasons that exists
And I love you for no reason at all.



103

1.
All that i write, its all for you
The reason and inspiration is you,
To all my poems, the destination is you.

2.
You are bright day light
I am like a dark night,
Together we will make life
A beautiful evening sight.

3.
You are the ocean of love
I am a river, flowing towards you
Someday, we will meet, and
Losing my entity, I’ll become you.

4.
Even when he meditates
There is one thought
He can not get rid of
It is yours..

5.
The life I have been longing for centuries now
With you by my side, that seens to come true.

6.
Every now and then
Her thoughts fills his mind
Every time a faint smile
Finds its place on his face.

7.
This wait
Might never end,
But I promise
I’ll wait till the end.



104

1.
Her love,
An eternal desire
..
A cherished pain.

2.
Her happiness,
My only goal
..
My conclusive desire.

3.
Her Smile,
My only intention
..
My definite happiness.

4.
Her wishes,
My mission
..
My only ambition.

5.
Her voice,
My melody
..
My greatest ecstasy.

6.
Her love,
Intoxicates
..
My loneliness.

7.
Her love,
One way street
..
There is no returning.



105

1.
Her love
is not letting me die,
Her apathy
Is not letting me live.

2.
I cannot define you
In ‘What’ or ‘Who’
To me, you are everything
And everything is you.

3.
Each weekend, I crave to see her once
To hear her voice, to hold her hands,
While, she keeps herself house arrest
And enjoys just her solitude.

4.
I sleep well when
You take tour to my dreams,
I wake up smiling when
You become mine, in those dreams.

5.
To see a smile on your face
I would keep my life at stake,
To bring colors in our life
I will do whatever it takes.



106

1.
To turn you
Into an open book
..
What shall I do ?

2.
To make you
Believe in me
..
What shall i do ?

3.
To prove
My love to you
..
What shall I do ?

4.
To earn
Your accepatane
..
What shall I do ?

5.
The more I talk with you
The more I want to talk
..
What shall I do ?

6.
The more I see you
The more I yearn to
..
What shall I do ?

7.
The more I think of you
The more I fall in love
..
What shall I do ?



107

1.
There are many sides each of us have,
I love you in all of mine.

And want to love you in each of yours.

2.
I can not call you my life
I don’t like it, never did.

But I like you, more than life.

3.
You make me anxious
And you make me smile,

You help me in being alive.

4.
Like the mild breeze
Touch me for once.

Be mine or destroy me at once.

5.
You are like my life,
Silent and killing.

Yet it’s you who keeps me alive.

6.
Even to see your photo is pleasing to eye
sIt fills my heart with indescribable happiness

I Wonder what will happen if I see you for real.

7.
No ‘one’ reason is worthy enough,
Neither are all of them combined..

I am not too.




Those are some poems, verses, quotes that I wrote for her, about her.. These were my years of effort, endless constant love for her. And I continue to love her even today. Though she is gone now; she is someone else’s; there is no hope anymore. But I don’t know how to not love here, how to not care for her. I wish I could communicate it, make her understand while there was time. But I wasn’t good enough.. I continue with life as it is; one day at a time.

If you have read till here, I guess you too have deep love in your heart for someone. If any of the poems touched you, made you feel good.. read it to your loved one. I wish it works better for you than it did for me.

Thank you.
