The War Within

Praveen — Fri, 11 May 2012 06:41:05 +0000

I am supposed to be happy, on the brink of something new, exciting and life changing, a moment of unprecedented magnitude; but here i am sulking, sad, angry and confused, it’s as if happiness and sadness are waging a pitched battle in my mind; i sat watching, numb, cold and powerless, as my spirit tried [...]

You, Me and Us

Praveen — Wed, 02 May 2012 10:19:32 +0000

walking up and down the corridor, waiting for you, i begin to realize how much i love you! together in happiness and sorrow, through the rain and the sun, holding hands together, we walked the earth; my heart starts pounding everytime you come near, and as i look into those eyes, i get lost; lost [...]

Love or Infatuation?

Praveen — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 17:11:56 +0000

i was told it was love, a madness i was not willing to be drawn into, but the symptons said something else, i was told it was only love; my legs felt wobbly when she came near, i used to gaze at the ceiling, thinking all day of the times that i could spend with [...]

Confused

Praveen — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 07:37:04 +0000

sitting in the room, thinking about everything so far, i am beginning to wonder if life is supposed to be like this; high on a pedestal one day, kissing the dirt the next, the balance keeps tilting from the good to the bad; nobody said life would be easy and simple, but nobody said life [...]

I Am Waiting

Praveen — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 07:20:44 +0000

One, two, three, four, five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty… time ticks on slowly, minute by minute; as i pace up and down the corridor, i cannot help wonder how long? how much longer should i be waiting? as i wait, the stars have come out, and the moon shines bright, and the cold wind brushes [...]

Without You, I’m Nothing

Praveen — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:52:08 +0000

woke up every morning, my lips on your cheek, a sleepy smile and the chase began; as i ran towards the invisible goal, it seemed so far away, yet i ran for years and years, expecting it to be near, but getting fooled again and again; i should have stopped, maybe i should have listened [...]

Alone

Praveen — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 10:33:12 +0000

the sound of silence grows, every minute feels like a hour, every hour feels like a day, as i sit in in the cold light of morning; its far too late, too late to pick up my heart from the floor, as it lay in pieces, right where you threw it yesterday night; little by [...]

I Wish I Could Fly

Antara — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 13:54:01 +0000

lonely and sad my mood again swings with a wish that if I had wings in a flash I would fly high and high in the sky happy and free in the clouds where glee and joy knew no bounds to a land unknown of grief and dismay and make my heart feel happy and [...]

Love or Lust?

Praveen — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 09:09:56 +0000

it was love at first sight, the moment i met you, sparks flew and brought us, closer and together; barely a minute goes by, without me thinking, is this too good, to be true; i pinch myself from time to time, just to make sure i am not dreaming, and not hallucinating all this, between [...]

Together

Praveen — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 05:01:31 +0000

just you and me, holding hands and looking into each other’s eyes, it’s been a while, it’s been a long time; lost in this madness of life, closer but farther away, from each other, i don’t know what to do; alone and lost, this dream is all that keeps me alive, keeps me and you [...]
