WAITING

 It feels so light,

No boundations, no sight,

No expectations, like a free kite.

Holding a glass of wine,

Till the sun shines,

Waiting for someone,

Counting zero to nine.

Nine is never mine,

What's mine never shines,

What shines never find,

What's find never mine.

Sunrise to moonrise,

Blankness of body to mind,

Heart stabbed with pine,

"I am all fine".

Feels like a corpse lying,

To sleep peacefully, I am trying,

It goes away denying,

Few breaths are left behind.

Still counting zero to nine,

Waiting for the time,

Everything will turn black,

And it would all be fine.

STRANGERS

We were strangers, when I first met you,

You didn't even give a look, and I was already in to you.

Some feelings came to me, I don't know why,

And they were growing every minute passing by.

I realized you were all alone, 

So was I, ready to get along.

That was the first time I asked for your name,

You chuckled cutely which drew me insane.

A beautiful girl with a beautiful name,

Like I was waiting from ages for the same.

We became friends, and were with each other without any rest,

Now love makes our heart melt.

I hope we can stay beside each other till eternity,

And be in love whole heartedly.
