HeartBreaker

Stay away from me, my dear 
I cannot even love my maker 
I swear, I am upto no good 
I have been called a Heartbreaker

It is not like I was born this way
Once I had love but there was no taker 
After that I closed myself to the world 
And became a lovely Heartbreaker 

my mouth says harsh words
But love is all I write on paper 
Real is all relative in this world 
I can or cannot be a Heartbreaker 

I stopped understanding love 
It does not mean that I am a hater 
Its just that i believe in what is opposite to love
And If you do not agree with convention you tend to become a Heartbreaker

Emptiness

there is nothing neither more silent 

nor more louder than emptiness

gives you great pain

and gives you great happiness, this emptiness

a seeker can find a lot of reasons 

to get close to this emptiness

and a preacher wants an escape route

to get out of this emptiness

seeing people cry and seeing people laugh

makes you think about this emptiness 

seeing people wither and die 

makes you worry about this emptiness

air makes you realise

that there is something called emptiness 

a tree standing alone 

gives meaning to the emptiness

water pouring down gives you hope 

that there is end to your emptiness 

our whole life is all about 

fighting with this emptiness

or accepting this emptiness

Scars Of War

Scars of a war

should be proudly displayed

they tell the story

of the price you paid

of the time you stood still

when you could have been swayed

of the happiness of your parents

for the child they made

Scars of a war,

they make you angry, they make you smile

reminds of the time

your fate was in your hand for a while

You cannot stock your scars

like you do with your file

A scar is like walking a thousand mile

Scars of your war shows

you have fought a war

and assures you of your journey

which you completed so far
