अल्विदा

मुस्कुराते रह गये हम, जब उन्होने अल्विदा कहा
इक चोट पड़ी दिल पे, पर दिल झेल गया
कि आगे और भी पड़ाव आयेंगे, दिल लुटाने के
कश्ती अभी नदिया में उतरी ही है...

Helen and Menelaus

He started a war to claim her.
But on the eve of battle,
he saw her and lost.

God's unwanted children

Looking for a place, to spread my wings
and fly above all, and break this jinx
of destitution, loss and failure,
and find my ways, sans a savior
sans a gaurdian, destiny's forgotten child
fighting for the throne, and kingdom of the wild.
I'll fight alone, for this is my fate
A fate I chose, not one you create
I'll be my own Deadalus, and soar too high
above the clouds, my limit is sky
and declare then, o master of all
I'll be your doom, I'll make you fall
When I claim my kingdom, and take my throne
And dare your sun, wax wings hurling stones
I'll find my way, out of this labyrinth
and rewrite my fate, become destiny's prince.

Finally I see you
Feel you, smell you, know you
And all I have to do
is leap up and claim you

Arya Stark's Reaction to s03e09

The words unsaid...

An ode to that girl at Director's Dinner...

With my wolfpack I sat, eating and grunting and laughing, like a wolfpack might

She entered from the other end, gliding through the air, such a lovely sight

The crowd stood between us, yet I saw her gleaming, fairer than a snowflake

So beautiful and serene she was, though I ignored her, as well as I could fake

For it was a party, she was popular, and my wolfpack sat with me,

I wanted to stand and take her hand, and confess to her, but instead I chose to flee

And while she roamed the lawns, the queen of all, my heart stood shattered

For the words unsaid, the tale untold, because those words could have mattered

The epitome of beauty, with a heart so pure, never could she have snubbed me

If only I showed the courage, the will to confess, and not hurriedly took leave

Without the final adieu I went, watching her, as her friends took their places

To her side, a place that was mine, but instead filled by unknown faces

It was resolve I lacked, afraid of the future, afraid of defeat, afraid of pain

But with the silent goodbye, my future defined, I know I shall never see her again

A burden I shall carry, throughout my life, wondering what could have been

With you in my arms, a song on my lips, a new life won with a lover’s win.

Shakespeare in Love

Saw the movie late into the night. Then saw it some more. The poet in me woke, and here is a piece by your's truly:

I dreamt of you in your majesty, rising from east, like morning’s bloom
But the dream was to end unfinished, as reality cast its doom
I looked for you when I woke, in songs, in books, and in plays
But every time you fade and float away, as reality webs its ways
The songs never suffice, nor the books nor the plays
The love they weave is a shadow, not one to last till end of days
In their illusions I rejoiced, aye! And danced like a lover might
But as they end, I see me, being stranded alone for all nights
Of the glorious song ending, and you, becoming a memory again
Untouched, unheard, unreal and such a sweet pain
You torture me whilst I sleep, yet I yearn for it awake
What spell have you cast on me sorceress, that I dare not break?
You come to me faceless, yet only you I see where eyes may go
You I dream, you I see, and you I shall have, if destiny wills it so
By night I fear, to lose you with morning as the sun claims
By day I long for night, to hold you, and kiss you again
It is a story to be mocked, a fool and his lover’s quest
But one day we shall embrace, your heart beating next to my chest
And Then I shall see your face, gleaming as its beauty shames the moon
And with sun we shall rise, together, a dream fulfilled
And that day shall be my boon.
