Love, Faith & Hope
Why do these promises not hold, she said.
If not for her love, this life would be a wilderness.
My heart is not separated yet.
How do I know I won't get cold feet?
Still standing for you, for the lamp of love and care.
And drink together from the cup of love.
Musical Beats
The musical beats of your heart,
We will never be apart.......
My presence there,
That faith it builds....
You will be there for me,
Soul showed me.....
Beauty for you
But without you
As miles,
Fills happiness in my soul,
Pour's delight in
My heart was full of
Your love and concern
Your touch keeps me
I am your only bride....
Sharing each feel of day long,
In scorching hot weather,
At my difficult times you made me bold....
May be at severe situations,
Cheering me at every moment,
These all lovely gestures,
ANJALI KUMARI
When The Phone Rings…
A smile comes on my face
I feel surrounded by sadness
She only talks about her love
But for her we're just good friends
Now brings me tears of sadness
That now she belongs to someone else
But without her even the night doesn't pass away...
You left me all alone
I thought to stop you
We decorated dreams together
I wrote poems for you
We had the world of dreams
We took some vows together
But destiny has something else in hand
I was left helpless, when I saw
You were dressed up like a bride
And I could not even give you a shoulder that day,
Now I live with the memories of you
Waiting for you to come and scold me again
BHAVYA BETTY
The silence around us,
The chaotic rhythm of-
Your deep, meaningful talks.
Craving my entire attention,
Catching me drowning in your eyes.
I listened to you attentively,
When you feel tired, of talking.
With me silently watching-
And, it’s at that exact moment; I realise,
Even when you are merely breathing.
I stay a thousand miles away,
Most satisfied lover.
Never would I lay my hands upon,
When your lips curved into a smile,
And, watching that from-
It was never about-
Tracing your lips with my fingers;
About the chills of exhilaration,
Whenever I catch a glimpse of you.
That no aurora nights had over me.
Our love a new definition;
One-Sided
When you hold my hands,
Within me, each time you smile,
I'm too scared, to let you go,
What if, you never felt the same,
If it's all my mind, playing tricks,
Then I guess, you'll merely laugh it off,
Does what we share-
Perhaps I'll never know-
Alas! Being a one-sided lover isn't easy,
Never enough answers from you.
Those Unsent Letters
My feelings for you...
I like you most...
I wrote many letters ...
But these letters still reminds me...
When you came to my life…
I feel I am happiest person on this earth…
Cloud of our life…
Is black and white…
Love For Nature...
Beautiful beauty of nature...
Because they live us with their problems...
They make thier self beautiful and …
But they don't know every beauty is lies in the nature...
You got reality of beauty..
And yes you love it..
To love someone...
Most important believe...
Faith, transparency, believe...
To really love someone.....
When we want to care someone....
Time with that person....
For that person.....
I want to be with you...
A promise was sworn,
With time, their innocence was tested
And they were bound
The journey of togetherness
an entrusted bond glued to
Promise calls for two individuals
They walked down - the path.
Holding each other’s hands.
was still breathing…
They want a promise to be made;
together and forever.
I Can Feel…
I can feel glow of your love,
I can see the humbleness of your love,
I can share the glories of your love,
I can feel the numbness of your love,
I can understand the way you love,
I can feel the melodies of your love,
I can feel the signals of your love,
You can love me the way you are
Dive straight into the ocean of my eyes
Your jump will dump out the gloominess
But wait,
Embrace me in your loving arms with a tight hug.
The sound of your heartbeats is what is required to keep me awake
Everything seems a piece of cake for your sake.
Cos I am ready to walk miles just for that soothing smile.
Nature’s treasure hunt will eventually lead you to the someone waiting for you.
Losing The Battle!
The ambiguous feeling,
Nor can people understand it.
Higher the intensity of pain.
With no weapons.
Paving your way through them Is not easy!
These battles are just the beginning
Never lose hope
Until you conquer the world
If war is the only welfare!
The unspoken feelings of being a part of the world seems upside down.
And when you think you are in control,
Ruining your present,
Many lose self control ending up in a mess
All we need to think is that
It is in what we have outside
In the end you will turn into a heap of ash.
I Promise...
There's one day when we'll part ways
And think the world of each mile
And never let the joy fade;
There won't be joy all along
But; We'll wipe those tears
I'll rest my head in your lap
I promise.
We can both go astray But:
And rekindle 'our' forever
Then we'll look at the stars for a while;
MEEZAH BAQAL
Whose lumber these are I think I know.
He will not see me cease here
My little horse must think it weird
Between the woods and frozen lake
He gives his harness bells a shake
The only other sound’s the brush
The woods are lovely, dark, and profound
And miles to go before I sleep,
MOHAMMAD MUBARIQ SOFI
My heart is helpless without you
Will sacrifice the whole world for you
Without you, the helplessness is building up
A Very long period has been spent without seeing you
A Thought
Sold out moments
I spread Moments there
Longing for a crowd
Longing for asleep
In the way of judgement
The way was young
Where the glow was
Of innocent birds Mubariq
NAQATI AROOB IQBAL
Aah! Seeing you sitting by the pool side
That black shirt and white pants
Your walking through the chairs
Coming to me and holding my hand
Your talking to me, staring at me
Sitting by you, caring for you
Your slapping me, playing with me
Your taunting me makes me feel
Saying bye while looking into my eye
Isn't it so early? Why to leave in hurry?
Oh! My beloved come and love me the same way you used to.
What I want to do, is to be through my life
But what I think I am with my life
Too many battles we have encountered
What do you want to see, tries to make me flee
But, not now I stretch my arms out
Teaching the wings how to fly
I mean one person for the world
I will break all the strings
I belong to him
Concept of Love
Everything is just a hoax
Sometimes to amuse your heart
Is love my friend
And brings you to a dead end
While for others it's just another task
A task to bring out how cold hearted are you.
While others say it just won't let you breathe
Is it just a hoax or a feeling you won't accept...
The deal between you and me
We took some vows together
A promise of love and affection
A promise to never let you go
Even in the dark times
Even when no one was there
It showed us skies of happiness
But we were there for each other
Unfinished Thoughts
When time flows with compassion
When you can see him in seclusion
You wake with his memories at dawn
And you doesn't reach a conclusion
And heart starts to disagree with you
Then just listen to your heart's sound
And accepting the fact
You have to do.
Sitting in a dark room, I prayed God for peace,
I got an answer after a lot of contemplating and sinking,
It is the condition when all my wishes have been answered, and I am pleased,
But still, I am not at peace, and my heart constantly pinches,
Those memories, which once were the reality,
When he made me believe that I was the only princess of his heart,
When he said that he needed none other than me in this universe,
When nights were romantic and days were filled with dreams,
But all that came to an end,
I cried like crazy, but he lends deaf ears to my screams,
How can I find peace without him now?
How do I forget or wipe his memories now?
Instinct
We can sense the danger that may be awaiting to threat,
And have the guts to follow the instincts.
But the expert in this attribute are the mothers,
And stand as a shield between the kids and the events.
They won’t care for themselves and stand like a mountain,
Till the mishappenings ward off from their children.
And it is a certainty that her instincts never go wrong,
Who can do anything to safeguard her babies.
Truth On My Lips…
Truth on my lips
Heart filled with love
My love just for you
Your erratic soul
Truth on my lips
Let me…
Let me dream only about you ,
Let me hear the waves of your heart,
Let them hold, only by you.
They Said, Who Are You?
You answered my life.
You brought me up high and high,
You gave me every reason to smile
You answered my life.
My Special One
Sometimes I wonder
Before you made entry in my heart
You came as a hope in my dark life and made it bright
Hopefully and lovingly, I began to adore you
With all your care, you took my worries and problems to end
Even if I wanted, surely I can't
Because of you, my dreams are greater
So are my determination
I hope I can take 'em with me, when I'll leave this world
I dare ,I'll never ever let you down
As the lock, to open up (freedom) wants a key
And yet I know I'll tomorrow
And I missing you everyday here
For being always by my side, when no one else was there except you
That in this life we can't be separable..
With the setting of the sun
Comes a woman holding her child
She glanced for hope in the sky
And the body that has loosen the tenderness
On her skinny body, hanging the rags
Only to keep her child alive
She roamed here and there
But in return they ignored her word
On poor lady, growned an old man
Neither they had tried nor they dare
She decided to fight no matter how much it’ll hurt
For found nothing worth
Some because they thought of her as to be ones character ink
She end up taking the days off
She heard a working factory sound
Asked him if there’s something to do that she can
And she stared earning a mere
But was enough for the child’s spending and fee
With listening to taunts everywhere
Completed her education and is determined and steady
The lady didn’t find any job to pay her dues
As other people have in all aspects
PARSA JAVID SOFI
When you look at the moon
Do you think of the promise we made that weren’t meant to be.
And learn to play a guitar.
We didn’t even watch The notebook fifteen times.
And painted them blue, like you said.
Do you still think of me?
PUSHTI VORA
From the awkward conversations
Neither did we remain friends
Who said,
Love is about hitting the right string of the heart
Hands in hands is a dream
The talks we do
It gives me a reason
He is the moon and I the tides,
He is mine without being mine!
Thinking am I about you
I can’t even accept
Why did you do this?
But why can’t you find the way out
It’s not right
Nor to me
Decided to end all our conversations
If my heart allows it…
Inner Desire Of Love…
You will realise it as you feel him above
I have realised it as
We can't see it, touch it, but yes we can intensify it
Nature has really bestowed us with this beautiful feeling
Oh folks love has to be there
Have you an inner deserve of love ?
Love has a power of killing negativity around us
SOUNDARYA MOHAN
I Promise Myself to be so Strong that
To talk about love, Peace, happiness, and prosperity
To Make all my friends feel like there is something in them.
Everything and make my optimism come true.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others, as you are about your own.
To wear a Cheerful countenance at all times and give every living person you meet a smile.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and too strong for fear,
I’m busy calming my fear and finding my courage.
I’m busy growing things and connecting with the natural world.
I’m busy being present in my life.
Happy and Successful
A Promise About Love
Just how much you really mean to me.
As long as you love me too.
To remind you that you will always be loved.
And they too will know just how much you mean to me.
We'll spend our lives' time together.
Even if that means I have to act like a clown.
Well then maybe I should think twice about us.
Always be deeply in love with you.
I Promise to be Happy everyday that follows today,
I promise to take you to dance every Friday night,
I promise I'll do anything to make you stay,
I promise that you'll always be able to cry on my shoulder,
I promise to kiss your cheek, your nose and your neck,
I promise to kiss you in your sleep,
I promise to kiss you under the rain,
I promise to travel everywhere with you by my side,
I promise to bring you to the top of the Eiffel tower,
I promise to tell you you're beautiful every day,
I promise to make you laugh if you're feeling low,
I promise to fight for it,
I Promise Myself Happiness for the rest of our life together Always Forever.

As I sit and wonder
The way you hold me tight in your arm
When you are with me,
And our love words reside in each other’s heart quietly.
I discover something delightful and new,
I want to sit beside you
The tides blow apart
The melodies I often croon.
To dive into the love land,
An emptiness evolves me,
I love the way
I want to stay with you like this my dear
To fulfil our love and desire.
But I have a lot of feelings to confess,
And when you stare at me with those loveable eyes,
Love
How much I need you in my life
I miss you again and again.
I don’t know what’s there in your presence which cheers me a lot
And whisper something into my ear:
And I don’t want to let you go
And I became a part of you.
Little Did I Know
I waited so long to have you beside
I could not foresee what was destined.
And we won the battle for our souls unite
Little did I know that what would betide.
God bestowed wishes and bliss were around
We forgot the day which was coming round.
You bade adieu and thence my heart had sunk
Poisonous is life whom time does debunk.
When distance turn mightier in a lover’s thought
Hope was the sailor for my joy’s sinking boat
Though it is painful, the lovers would wait
I adapted his absence and surrendered to the fate
Yearnings have died and weary is my desire
I fancied your arms when my last breath would acquire
The world must freeze and my heart turn stone
Love Is An Allowable
Little affection is all to dupe a lover
Love hurts more than it soothes
Love is a deary sport, played by sinners
The one with knees on the ground
In this world the saddest are lovers
This new love cycle is huge much in trend
Righteous, virtuous, principled and angelic
YASMEEN AHAD
It is very difficult to mention
you have sorrows I have grief
Everyone is in hue and cry
Tears are flowing as rivers and oceans
Hearts are bleeding with pain and bruise
Situation is worsening day by day
lets bow our heads before HIM
Definitely the shower of HIS blessings
Yasmeen has lit the torch of hope
Set Me Free…
Set me free from the evil of feudal;
Don’t consider me among the wrong;
Don’t leave society in deep depressions
Stop all this human slaughter ;
Come on wrap up this dirty game;
Everyone will remember your name;
Kill the terror and love you give
Make everyone happy and spread affection.
Anatomy of a Broken Heart
You are able to think the worst in me
Like a rope filled with a hundred knots
Hush of the heart and a drunken sleep
Beside the inner critic and ruthlessness
Traumatic brain with a will of Survival
Nothing was better and nothing will be best
Vacant space Waiting for a special friend
Profound care ,constant love and modesty
Losing breath and the emotional attachment
Eyes shunt and the words turn into rhymes
I was in love with her and a ditch so deep
Your love rests in me, believe it's not in vain.
All among the torn pages of the past
I believe in the sufferings of mortality
Minimum to the maximum three thousand days
My Eyes like an ocean and Prayers like rhymes
You are still away a lot from the nook of my mind
Maddened for a girl until the ages of a woman
I follow the death and it appears to be so near
Half of my life was written in the torn pages
Silent Night
Let’s meet in the silent evening of the town
Just we were two in the lamp less Street
I promise logically to grow old with her
I hear what I hear ‘A long term affair’
Onward , Confused! I whisper you can proceed
I don’t want to be forced , I achieve and believe
She was an engineer for a man turned machine
So bring back the scene with a new born rhyme.
Love Beyond Limits
You were my bright sunshine;
You were the music in which I found solace;
You make them all come alive;
Your presence has given me another life;
You are the destination that every path leads;
It's beyond life and death;
A dream that came alive;
I got you, I got everything I need;
I'll always keep your beautiful smile intact;
I'll keep loving you,

Love, Faith & Hope
The vow and that silk thread
Why do these promises not hold, she said.
Remember, those moments when they brought us happiness!?
If not for her love, this life would be a wilderness.
And yes, listen! love is not broken yet.
My heart is not separated yet.
How do I know my heart won't skip a beat?
How do I know I won't get cold feet?
It is only my faith in God that I'm still standing here.
Still standing for you, for the lamp of love and care.
Come back and walk again to the tomb of dove.
And drink together from the cup of love.

I love to listen,
The musical beats of your heart,
With every beat it promises me,
We will never be apart.......

Soul showed me.....

Beauty for you
Lies in my smile,
But without you
It seems far away
