When will I know?

(Written 3 years back. a light romantic song)

I saw two special strangers,

In a street full of them,

And they were holding hands

Like they were more than just friends.

Their eyes locked on each other,

Dreaming how much time to spend,

And I smiled as I walked by,

But I just couldn’t pretend.

I’m lost in the sea of strangers,

Who have nothing new to say,

Will I find the girl I love,

And will she feel the same way?

When will I know?

How it feels to be cared,

How it feels to be loved

By someone you care.

When will I feel,

That bond slip around me,

When love will surround me,

And the feeling wont end...

Arsh...

Beautiful Wings...

It started on a leaf,

A leaf of hope,

Green fresh and beautiful,

Feeling so beautiful.

A new life it was,

Like a new comer it stood by

Watching around, hearing

And here it learned an important rule.

We have to grow,

We have to move ahead,

Forward, no matter how many

Obstacles on the way…

It spun around itself,

A coat of solitude,

Some time to think,

To wonder where it stood.

When the doubts cleared,

And the darkness went away,

It opened up its wings,

Ready to make the distance.

Living a Thousand Lives...

Daily  a  night  is  falling  by,

Daily  the  Sun  arises  again,

Till  the  last  ray  from  the  woods  so  deep,

Dimming  light, night  falling  again,

And  as  these  cycles  go  on  and  on,

My  love  never  once  sways,

Till  the  moon  smiles  upon  a  dawn,

I  live  a  thousand  days !

The  day  when  you  met  me  there,

That  day  I  never  forgot,

My  eyes  are  searching  everywhere,

Wherever  you  were, I  thought,

And  then  as  tears  wash  me  where,

The  days  I  now  recall,

And  as  a  helpless, feeble  weed,

My  mind, my  heart  here  fall.

My  heart  now  sings  songs  of  love,

And  feels  you  will  be  back,

How  long  can  you  fly, My  Dove ?

Something  from  you, will  lag.

And  now  I  walk  upon  this  way,

Fueled  with  love, my  heart  strives.

With  you  spent  every  single  day,

Is  like  living  a  thousand  lives !

Uncompromised...

(This is the second original that we performed at our convocation ceremony... It started in my mind with a Staccato rhythm much like the way we take a look back with our each step when we are leaving someone very dear to us....)

Too many thoughts

In my mind

Keep me awake

All night.

I don't sleep

Anymore

To keep my dreams

In my sight

Though you think that i’m

Going farther away from you.

Its so sad that you think

My love for you is untrue.

You don't believe me anymore,

Yet i am knockin your door.

Though i lie to this world

My love for you is pure.

I’ll hold on as you leave,

My soul you did thieve,

Yes i believe you will return

When you realise

My love for you remains uncompromised.

As i hold on,

You slip away,

I don’t regret this,

In any way.

I smile silently,

On my fate.

Too much time for me,

To hate..

Though you think that my,

Relationships don’t go through.

Its so sad that you think

My love for you is untrue.

You dont believe me anymore,

Yet i am knockin your door.

Though i lie to this world

My love for you is pure.

I’ll hold on as you leave,

My soul you did thieve,

Yes i believe you will return

When you realise

My love for you remains uncompromised.

Month of May. by Arshaj

{ Six months after i had written a poem, my friends insisted that i give rhythm to the verses. }

I close my eyes

In a hope to see her again.

I search, my sight

Sees nothing known at another end.

I know you lied,

That you would come back for me instead.

I’m still alive, on . . .

These darkened roads just to tread.

I’ll follow you there,

I’ll follow you there where you stare,

I’ll follow you there,

Walking silently in an innocent Month of May.

So much to think,

Of many things I had to say.

I’ll give my life away,

Just find me some another way.

I fear, they fade,

Shadows from my past I barely see.

Are you for real,

Like those silences talking to me.

I’ll follow you there,

I’ll follow you there where you stare,

I’ll follow you there,

Walking silently in an innocent Month of May.

If Only...

{I was inspired to write this poem due to a movie i saw that goes by the same name. The thought that what you may go through when you know that you are not goin to be there for someone you love is painful. And it does indeed make you a better person...}

If only, I would have known,
Where this day was leading to,
If only, I could have seen, once more,
In her eyes crystal blue.
The love that I had in me,
The happiness that I wanted to share,
And her smile’s what I wanted to see,
If only, once more, I would have stared.

Only love I wanted to give,
But I did hurt her heart somewhere.
Her feelings I failed to understand,
Got lost in my world, though couldn’t bear,
Strange, but a chance is all we get,
If only, I would have grabbed it, right then,
Could have stopped her, when she left,
She left, that I couldn’t see her again.

If only time turns back again,
So I can tell her how much I cared.
If only I can get a day or two,
Or even a moment with her, spare.
The pain that I feel now,
I just cry in despair.
If only, its just a dream, and that
I’ll wake up again in her arms, aware . . .

The Wind Song...

I hear the wind blow,
Hold on to me, it says.
Let me take you
To the places that you love.
I will be silent but
You can make a racket if you want.
Let me take you,
To the places you want to go..
Watch yourself, fly over,
The world of your dreams.
Take a glimpse, We cant stay
I have to move on.
Breathing, the freshness of life,
Remember what you want the most,
Something, someplace,
Or even just a feeling...

And it comes to my mind,
And behind my closed eyes,
A picture, i took long ago,
It was alive, and she smiled.
Coming back to me,
Are all the memories, i've got
Awakens me, brings me back,
To the place of my dreams...
The wind has kept her promise,
That Angel smiles in her sleep...:-)
