60. ANGEL EYES

As it was when the sun set at the end of a day

Like the darkness when the moon disappeared from the midnight sky

So had been my days without your love

I became a shore without the breaking waves

A tree without its leaves

A garden without its flowers

I was a wasteland dried up and cracking

For, when you left

You also took my laughter and

my smiles and all that’s left are tears

that flood my ‘Angel Eyes’

59. AN OPEN BOOK

No one else could feel me like you do 

Read me like an open book right through

Everyone else see me for what I'm not

Whereas you could see me for all I've got

Today I remembered you and cried hard

Pouring endless tears down my cheeks

Seeing your images in every place

Feeling hopelessness wherever I peek

I know you could feel my heart in pain

That you could hear even my whispers

As I could feel every beat of your heart

Even though its miles away and we're apart

You touched my life Oh so tenderly

In the briefest moment ever to be felt

Yet you leave this burden so heavily

I've been through tears, heartbreaking hell

I wish I could turn back the hands of time

And re-write a different chapter of love

And be aware of that love can be so blind

And seek the guidance from the God above

You told me that love is not a game

And that to you it's a sacred thing

But now game it is indeed love's name

You've made it worthless into nothing

I bet you're tickled right to the bones

Thinking you've succeeded in fooling me

But that's okay, may God forgive you

I will not forget you till eternity

Living one's life in complete denial

Is living a life of deceit and lies

Life's indeed tribulations and trial

Of guilt and sins and silent cries

I'll continue to love you more each day

Love you true and wish you happiness

I'll cherish your memories in every way

Until the world disappears into nothingness

58. NEVER OURS

Dream........

It was mine to have and to hold

Love.......

It was mine to give and share

Promise.......

It was mine to make

Fear......

It was mine to feel

Future......

It was ours in our dreams

Life.....

It was ours to share

But now 

 these are mere fantasies

Fantasies too far-fetched to reach

Because they were never ours to start with

57. LIKE A CANDLE BURNING WATER

The familiar chill gripping the heart

Like a vice unyielding holding its captive

The tears welling up ready to flow

But were caught frozen like stalactites

The anger that's raging and burning inside

Waiting to break loose to raze like hell

But instead... it ends in a soft whimper

Like that of a puppy lost in a stormy night

It oozes an icy chill of a breezy winter

Only to light up like a candle burning water

This is the moment so dreaded so uninvited

When one receives the news of betrayal

When one finds out about a cheating heart

When one realizes she's been lied to

A feeling that gnawed right into the soul

An anger that could boil meal for a thousand

A wish for vengeance that would survive eonS

The moment when reasons take the backstage

Where irrationality reigns in sovereignty

Like the moment when the candle burns water

56. ANGEL

He calls me his 'Angel'

Where he returns to each tiring day

Where he lays his head and takes a nap

Where he rests his heart, come what may

He calls me his 'Love'

To enshroud upon his tired body

To spread like cream over his skin

To savour and drink like wild honey

He calls me his 'Heart'

That beats non-stop to give him life

That holds his lifeblood like no other

Like a friend, a companion or even a wife

He calls me his 'Sugar'

That flavours his sepia days

Leaving lingering sweetness on his lips

Giving him strength in whatever ways

I thank God for this gift of a man

Who lets me share his world of care

Who loves me purely for who I am

And who promises me he'll always be there
