Lessons of Life (LOL)

I could see in her trances of, Myself when I was younger, Emotions were her weakness, But in herself she had a thunder. Nurtured by love and care, She had built herself strong, Wiser than her age, She knew what was right or wrong, What a wonder it was, That she looked up to me, I was more trivial and weaker, Than my little Thangachi. She said I made her feel perfect, And made her smile everyday, That's all I aimed for, But, something strange happened one day. I had a dark side in me, So broken and futile, This side was drenched in tears, Couldn't make anyone smile. This side was hesitant, And bore on it's bare soul All my sins and wounds, In capable of playing any role! I had hidden it from her, But it suddenly overpowered me This side showed it's ugly face, To my little Thangachi, She cried a lot, But didn't lose her trust in me, She tried to hold me tight, While I was breaking apart abruptly. She played her part well, ...

It all seemed like a war, Everyone has their strategies, We had ours too, And, the war has commenced. Never knew our enemies, Or who were our friends, Just trusted each other, And a few more souls. In the blink of an eye, Our scheming could revert, It could chase us for a hunt, And pin us down to defeat. Took our chances and risks, like, Looking at the morning sky, And hoping not to find a sun there, facing us. And, the God of Destruction, Destroyed all the probabilities, At other ends with us, Our risks were worth it. As we looked up right into, The eyes of the morning sky, The sun was clouded, It wasn't facing us. That's how our risks, Pushed us further, Pushed us closer, To our victorious land! But, a single moment, Could bring us to our knees, And, another soul, anytime, Could departure to heaven. Yet, this battle had to be fought, For letting our love breathe, For letting it survive, And allowing it to thri...

I want to fall, I'll be okay, I know. I want to stumble, I'll be okay, I know. I just don't want to be anxious, I really don't want to be scared, Of falling, or breaking, I'll be okay, I know. I don't want to regret, Not listening to my heart, Because I were scared to fall as, I'll be okay, I know. This fright and anxiety, is more torturous, Than the actual fall, after which, I'll be okay, I know. So, I'd rather let myself fall free, And listen to myself, As I've my lessons to learn, I'll be okay, I know. These lessons won't be taught, If I don't fall, And never will I grow, I'll be okay, I know. Playing safe is no virtue, Every moment is a tussle with oneself, It's better to fight others and fall as then, I'll be okay I know. The inner battle is harder, Regret and anxiety are more dangerous, The fall is better as eventually, I'll be okay, I know. So, here I am, listening to...

When suspicious eyes look at you, I'll cover you in my arms, I'll place about you, the very first Bubble of my trust.                                                   Sensitive to your single prick, Strong to other's doubtful piercing eyes Flexible for you to move about Rigid for other's to get you out. This bubble is quite huge Accommodating all that you have And, since you have me too, I'll get in there with you. Your eyes seem to glimmer You are enjoying this all Careful! Don't make it burst. It is made up of all my trust If you pop it now It'll never appear again And you'll break me along I'll never be so strong! Even if it reappears It won't be that gigantic Nor will it be as mighty It's a lifetime opportunity This is all I am left with, And the hardest part for me will be to see you break it apart Afte...

Like autumn leaves fall, Fell off all the reasons That could hold us together Off they fell from the 'love'ly tree "Baby, this is it." Confessed the leaves Before leaving the hands Of the branches, they love Yet, the lonely branches Shout out into the blue That they were abandoned for a purpose There's a reason for the separation This, however, wasn't easy for the leaves It wasn't freedom to them It meant struggling in the wind falling and being crushed But how could they risk Risk to hurt the branches so they fell ignoring the pain the branches would suffer after they pluck themselves off But lonely branches shout again They say that soon the skies will cry For the leaves that have parted And the hands that left "And after the rain" Say the branches boldly "Spring will bow will spread its glimmering fragrance" "  and when the magical glitter Would touch us," they say "...

Seven seas lie between us, They think it can keep us away But, it can't. It just brings us closer Makes us more desperate Let's us love each other more But you can distance us, And, you did. You can push me away, And, you did. What you said today, The way your actions spoke The voices whisper to me, "You are losing him." I could just be seen blank It wasn't in my control. Look at your might, You did for us, What seven seas together couldn't do. Just want to ask, Are you proud of your power?
