Autophile

 

Autophile:

I had fake friends who left me alone. 
I saw beautiful face with the heart of stone, 
I was tired of being betrayed and crying.
All I heard them, they were lying, 
One fine day I left them all.
I surrounded myself with boundaries of walls, 
Which no one dare to climb again
Fakeness of people doesn't bother me anymore.
I created my own friendship door,
And suddenly, my giggle just burst into laughter.
I became my own best friend.
and my best ever critic thereafter,
while you are wishing all your friends today
don't forget to wish yourself,
at the end of the day, you will rely on you.
And no one understands you better than you do.

Forever Mine

 

Forever mine

Hot pants and all are cool 

But I fell when I saw you in salwar suit,

I started to feel butterflies in my stomach

Couldn't believe how can someone be beautiful so much,

My eyes couldn't resist as you passed by

My world went straight up to the ninth sky,

Time slowed down with your every step 

My heart skipped a beat as you moved ahead,

I quickly went down on my knees to ask you to be mine

Just then this little dream was broken and I saw

that beautiful face as my wife.

We are not monsters

 We are not monsters

You scream, you shout, you fight

For the reasons so silly

We play, we cuddle, we love

For seasons, we are silly.

Who's the monster? I asked

The one who's chained or the one

Who chains others?

They come armed with whips and sticks,

And calls us animal and beat us until we are sick.

When you were little

We were buddies for life,

Now since you had grown up

I'm just an animal bound to be tied.

An Attire of Conscience is eternal.

An Attire of Conscience is eternal:

Don't love her for her body because

That thing will melt away with time

It will lose shape

It will fade

It will develop scars, aging wrinkles.

And then the only thing left in her will be

Her soul, her heart, her spirit, her nature,

Her kindness, her honesty, her care, her love.

Look for her deepness in her

Look for her thoughts

Look for which things move her

Look for when her tears fall and

When her smile blooms,

You need to know her pulse, her heartbeat,

She has a universe beyond her body.
