Mirrors may whisper a False Echo

Oh dear silly girl,

You want to be someone's crush,
But you are prettier than that.
You want to please eyes, But your soul will clench hearts Sooner than that.

You uphold a beauty not to be stared at,

But something to be mused on.
A breathing conundrum,
That would make a praiser ponder upon.

Sitting in the shadow of Mirrors,

Blinded by their false shine.
Heedless of the inborn allure,
That's worth writing a book upon.

I believe in a theory,
That people are made of stars.
Stars, gems that adorn the black of night,
Looking out for them on a Television,
Can't ever be right!

In the fullness of time,

The tides on your face will change.
A radiant visage will emerge,
At which crowds gonna Gaze.

Among the gazing faces you will find me,

Looking at you the same,
swiftly whispering Oh! Silly girl,
You are prettier than that.

A wordsmith’s tale of parting

It took place all of a sudden,

Like a sheer paradox.
It never made a noise,
Yet,it echoed all around.
Stabbed right in the heart,
Without a single wound.
Eyes bled out,
but blood lost its colour.
Thoughts were storming,
But there was a loud silence.
Not too long before,
Dreams had become a reality,
Threads of memories were spun.
Now nightmares take over,
Without there being any sleep.
Yarn had now formed a Cord,
That was clamping my neck.
Words grieved and paper cried,
A pain so agonizing,
That no wordsmith can describe.
Right before my eyes,
I saw heaven crying.

(Wrote this one when I had a Break up, well….not really a break up, I was
Ghosted)
There for you

Bummer on a lonesome day,

Terrifying shock amid a cruel night,
To perk up after a dire plight,
Have no fear, I am there for you.

Oh my dazzling girl,
Whilst your emotions whirl,
I am there for you when you cry,
Never alone, together we fly.

Here to console, and to make you smile,

For your smallest delight, I Will go any mile!
Whether you win or loose,
You will be the one I choose.

Defying the odds, united we stand

Sea of woe, or a barren land.
You can face the war with me,
Be your shadow in the sunshine, I won't flee.

And when the darkness comes,

Like the moon I shine.
I clasp your small hands into mine,
The world seems to stop when they intertwine.

By your side I will always stand,

Come to me I will hold your Hand.

Love you the way you are

You talk about the book,

While I can't even get over the cover.
I have been taking notes for a while,
And my notebook is already over.

The words you have circled Red,

Is where I pay attention the most.
Couldn't even reach ripped chapters,
In your first draft, I am already lost.

Each of the tear mark tell a tale,

Ripped pages used to carry some dark legends.
I would love to listen each tale,
And the chapters purposely lessened.

You talk about re-writing you,

While re-reading is all I aspire to do.
God wrote you so sacredly,
No one would dare to redo.

I am Sorry!

I am sory Hey you!

I am sorry,
You are not talking to me,
Why won't I worry!
Are you even angry?
There ain't any guess,
Ofcourse you are,
for I created such a mess.
When you seemed to be normal,
I got strange ,
I hope you know that,
I am ready for a change.
It's tough to forgive,
here in this stance,
But can you just give me,
one more chance.
I repeated the mistake again and again in the past,
I know you're hurt,
but don't let it long last.
Oh cmon you are so sweet,
I can assure you this time,
I won't repeat.
To regain your trust,
there're only a few ways,
In the end I would say,
I am better than few bad days.
