IS THIS MY LOVE'S WORTH

Through a broken window I see

Gloom embracing the earth

A tear rolls down to kiss me

Is this my love's worth

The memories are still fresh

Like a rose after a shower

But the rose inside me is dead

I don't know why you killed the flower

I can take all blows

I can pass through hell

But the pain you caused just grows

And my misery only swells

You left me with no cures

So I'll let my wounds rust

But before leaving all I ask for

Is this my love's worth

RUTHLESS

Feels like a million years,
Since we've talked
I've cried a billion tears,
Coz by your memories I'm stalked,

Sometimes they make me cry,
Sometimes they give me a smile so sweet,
But the time I almost die,
Is when both of them meet

I wanna talk to you,
I wanna hear your voice,
I want you to listen me say I love you,
And let me fill your heart with joys

Your memories are ruthless Tripti,
What a torture do they give,
Coz they neither let me die,
Nor do they let me live

Living is so difficult,
So meaningless I can't tell,
Coz being without you,
Is worse than being in hell

I write with such sorrow,
That even this paper breaks down,
In a hope we have a better tomorrow,
And we have each other around

TRIPTI

I miss you so much

It's hard to say in words

But this feeling is such

I have to uncage this bird

It gets so dark

When there's not a word from you

Sound gone from the lark

And the earth without hue

I do not know

How long we'd last

But it's just a gesture to show

How your absence leaves me aghast

A SWEET SIN

This is the longest and I think my best poem till date.

I came across a man
Whose living was banned
He was to die tomorrow
But was untouched by any grief or sorrow

Impalpable was his smile
Lips spreading up to miles
A joyous glow on his face
Fear of death without a trace

He seemed to watch a fairy dance
Goddess of beauty giving him a glance
Like a child playing with a butterfly
He smiled before saying good bye

Then one night he invaded my dreams
Full of questions my heart seemed to scream
He would share a secret he said
A secret about the life he led

I committed a crime, he said, it's true
But then my options were so very few
You must think I killed her with a strife
I say I did, but just a sacrifice

But it wasn't for the lord
Nor for the mighty God
It was a selflessly selfish act
And the knowledge of consequences I didn't lack

She was to commit suicide
Knowing of which my heart cried
She was the music of my song
Without her I couldn't live for long

I couldn't imagine her sinning
So I had to plan her killing
I was joyous to take all the blame
And save my darling from a dreadful shame

So I had to end my love's life
It made me cry the whole previous night
But to live with her after death
I had kill her now and took this step

Then they came to arrest me
What a feeling it was to be free
They hanged me a black cloth around my face
And then my love brought me light,
And we kissed with such a grace

We finally were one
Just like the light and the sun
We gave new meanings to love
By being together even up above

So this is my story he at last said
Now back to heaven I must hurry and he fled
Then I woke up find
That the man in my dreams was me,
And the story was mine.

NOT MADE OF STONE

I've been screaming

Hoping someone would hear

But people around are dreaming

Their dreams to me unclear

Even the rocks break down

Getting hit by the waves

But they can't hear a sound

Believing I'm in my grave

They go on to say

That seldom I speak

But their ears they wouldn't lay

To any word my mouth leaks

My wounds are salted

When they ask why I'm off

It's difficult to keep one's tears halted

When what one says, is neglected with a cough

If I were to die

I know you wouldn't shed a tear

But before you make me cry

Know that you have more to fear.
